Despite being used by 1.24 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.

One citizen, however, is trying to change this, “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird,” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another, “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says, Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.

Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them, Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees, “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.

“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.

So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.

1.How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?

A. By putting up posters on the tube.

B. By advocating his idea on the media.

C. By offering passengers special badges.

D. By starting a dialogue with passengers.

2.How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?

A. It has caught international attention.

B. It has become a worldwide campaign.

C. Most passengers have refused to accept it.

D. Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.

3.According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?

A. Hand in their feedback in time.

B. Walk up and talk to strangers.

C. Stop using public transport.

D. Enjoy the peace quietly.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Tube Chat or Not

B. Lonely Travel in London Tube

C. Silence on the Tube

D. Tube Passengers Wearing Badges

Today’s modern life discourages people from taking time to prepare their own meals. Eating in the car and grabbing a quick bite in a restaurant are ever more popular ways of dining. It takes a little extra effort and time to cook your own food, but it’s a worthwhile pursuit（追求）that can benefit your health, wallet and family.

People across the country are waking up to the fact that the food offered by most fast food restaurants isn’t particularly healthy. While these restaurants have made attempts lately to add healthier meals to their menus, it’s still a far cry from a dish cooked with fresh ingredients(配料) and personal care.

Nutritionists who study what is called “the French paradox”--- meaning the fact that French people have low obesity rates despite their diet containing lots of “unhealthy” ingredients such as butter---partially account for this circumstance by the fact that many French people use fresh ingredients. Taking time to eat at a leisurely pace also helps you get better nutrition and you are less likely to pack on the pounds.

Even a quick meal will usually cost at least five dollars per person at a restaurant. Compare this to the amount of pasta, vegetables or meat available for the same money at your home, and it quickly becomes apparent that the cost of eating out adds up.

Experimenting with new ingredients or foreign recipes will encourage children to try new foods and learn about dishes from around the world. Many couples also find that preparing a meal together can be a romantic experience equal to dinner in a classy, low-lit restaurant. Make sure to spend meal times talking and sharing events from the day and you may find it’s a great way to get to know your family better.

1. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Fast food does great harm to people.

B. More people prefer dining out today.

C. There’re different reasons for dining out.

D. Many people still approve of cooking at home.

2.The underlined phrase “ a far cry from” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “__________”.

A. different from　 　　　　　　　 B. absent from　

C. equal to 　　　　　　　　　　　 D. superior to

3.Why is “the French paradox” referred to in the passage?

A. To show the French diet is fairly delicious.

B. To illustrate the French have a healthy diet.

C. To stress the importance of using fresh food ingredients.

D. To prove the French diet makes people fat easily.

4. What advantage of cooking at home does the last paragraph talk about?

A. Strengthen family bonds.

B. Save your money up.

C. Expose you to foreign cultures.

D. Get children educated better.

Language changes all the time. The words used by young people in the UK can be very different to those used by adults. These extremely informal words and expressions are known as “slang”. Here are a few examples:

·Instead of using different tag question like isn’t it? Can’t you or don’t they? People use “innit”.e.g. It’s hot here, isn’t it?=It’s hot here, innit!

·Instead of saying very, really or completely, they use “well”. e.g. I’m well tired.

· “Whatever” means “I don’t care”. e.g. A: But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished. B:Whatever. I’m going.

Nobody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently instructed its pupils to stop using slang words. The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak ‘correctly’ this will help them get a good job.

When British people use slang, it’s no surprise that some students say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker.

How important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or TV, chat online in English, then understanding slang can be very useful. But you probably won’t see much slang in your English exam though. With over seven billion people living on our planet today, it’s easy to think one person’s actions won’t make a difference, however, from personal experience, I can say: each of us is capable of making a difference, however small, to someone’s life.

1.Based on the slang mentioned above, what is the meaning of “I think you got me well wrong.”?

A. I think you really hurt my feelings

B. I think you totally misunderstood me

C. I think you found the completely wrong person

D. I think you completely brought the wrong thing

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. It is essential to learn all the British slang

B. Native English speakers cannot understand each other well

C. English is used more between non-native speakers currently

D. Young people in Britain often use the same slang words as their parents

3.In the author’s opinion, why shouldn’t English learners be concerned about slangs?

A. British slangs can hardly come across to English learners

B. English learners won’t speak with the native speakers

C. English learners can make a difference in the world

D. There are more people who don’t use native slang to communicate

4.The author may agree to the opinion that _______.

A. individuals can play a part in others’ life

B. slang learning is an important part of language learning

C. one may express his doubt and disbelief by saying “Whatever”

D. English learners may feel difficult to communicate without slang
