There are thirtyfour bridges on the Thames River in London，the following are among the most famous ones.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest，most recognizable bridges in the world.It is the bridge in London you may see in movies and on advertising writing for London.Tower Bridge is the only Thames Bridge that can be raised.It used to be raised about 50 times a day，but nowadays it is only raised 4 to 5 times a week.
London Bridge
The construction of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176 and finished years later.Houses and shops were once built on the bridge，which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people，horses and carts.A ‘keep left’ rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving.This became the rule of the road in Britain.In 1757 the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in 1831.Interestingly，that one was pulled down again in 1967 but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City，USA，as a tourist attraction.The present London Bridge was opened in 1973.
Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers.It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the City and St Paul’s Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂) in 2000.Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge.Almost immediately after opening，the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors.It has now been reopened.The bridge is about 320 meters，costs 16 million pounds to build and only takes walkers.
Westminster Bridge
Westminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames between Westminster and Lambeth.The present bridge，opened in 1862，is the second on the site and took the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750.The British romantic poet，William Wordsworth，wrote a famous poem “Composed Upon Westminster Bridge” in the autumn of 1802.

Dear strangers，I remember you.
Ten months ago，when my cellphone rang，you were walking into Whole Foods，prepared to go about your food shop.But I had already abandoned my cart full of groceries and I stood in the entryway of the store.My brother was telling me my father was dead.And as we hung up the phone，I started to cry and scream as my whole body trembled.
Overwhelmed with emotions，I fell to the floor and you，kind strangers，you were there.You could have kept on walking，ignoring my cries，but you didn’t.You could have simply stopped and stared at my primal (原始的) display: of pain，but you didn’t.Instead you surrounded me as I yelled through my sobs.
I remember in that haze of emotions，one of you asked for my phone and asked who you should call.I remember that I could hear your words as you tried to reach my husband for me，leaving an urgent message on his answering machine for him to call me.
I recall hearing you discuss among yourselves who would drive me home in my car and who would follow that person to bring him back to the store.You didn’t know one another，but it didn’t seem to matter.You encouraged me，a stranger，in the worst moment of my life and you gathered around me with common purpose，to help.
I told you that I had a friend，Pam，who worked at Whole Foods and one of you went in search of her and thankfully，she was there that morning and you brought her to me.I remember the relief I felt at seeing her face familiar and warm.She confronted and cared for me so lovingly until my husband could get to me.

American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment，ethnic diversity and plural religion，which is quite different from other nations in the world.What is more，these elements are still influencing the American culture.
The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America from 1607 to 1892.Frontiers were pushed further west.The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise，opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism，selfreliance，and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America.
In history，people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on，different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture was formed，a common cultural life with commonly shared values.
The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism(多元化); almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.
Nowadays，we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middleaged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.
28. We can learn from this article that________.
A. the population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups
B．the early immigrants brought about the unique American culture
C．people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique culture
D．the American family members don’t get along well with each other
29. What’s the author’s attitude towards American culture?
A．He is critical of it.
B．He admires it very much.
C．He just states the facts.
D．He looks down upon it.
30．The last paragraph is about ________.
A．the family structure in American society
B．the influence of the three elements in the current American society
C．the new life style of American family
D．the reason why American people like to change residences
31．What might be the most suitable title of this article?
A．The Immigrants in America
B．Why American Culture Is Unique
C．The Influence of American Culture
D．Plural Religion and American Culture

Genetically modified(转基因) foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today.This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world.From the seed dealers，to the farmers that buy the seeds，to the workers that the farmers sell to；all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.
Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately.There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods.They are being tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe，the US and the rest of the world.They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process.Since they are a new product，and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country，these tests are very necessary.
These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation.Begun in May of 1997，the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EUwide premarket system for all novel foods.A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past.By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.
There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers.They can improve the nutritional value or the storage conditions of the food.Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use—GM soybean and GM maize (玉米)．
Despite any safety checks，many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods.By providing these people with the necessary information，we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.
32．What do we know about the novel food?
A．It’s very popular in EU.
B．It’s bad for people’s health.
C．It’s a new kind of food.
D．Its story has been published.
33．Genetically modified foods are allowed to be sold if they are ________.
A．tested for safety B．of high quality
C．more nutritional D．grown in Europe
34．From Paragraph 2，we can learn that genetically modified foods ________.
A．do no harm to people
B．have caused some problems
C．are well received after being tested
D．are criticized and attacked by many people
35．What’s the writer’s attitude towards genetically modified foods?
A．We should warn people that they are too dangerous to be eaten.
B．We should give people information about them so that they can decide whether to buy them.
C．We should encourage people to eat them because they are more nutritional.
D．We should tell people that they are trying to fool the farmers.

But as Louie，a sheepdog rescued from a shelter when he was just a puppy，got older，his trips got shorter and shorter.Now that Louie is 12 years old，he chooses to stay close to home and hardly ever goes out to explore any more，which is why his family was so worried when he recently disappeared and didn’t return home as usual.
“My mother was a little upset as he had stopped his wandering，” said Marolyn Diver，whose parents own Louie.“We were very concerned that he might forget where his home was.” But thankfully，Louie turned up at the house a few hours later.“He looked so tired and had basically just collapsed(崩溃)，

W: Lucky.

W: That’s unbelievable!
M: I know. Then a few years later, Frane was in a bus accident. There was heavy rain and the bus lost control on the wet road and crashed into a river. He survived, although 20 people drowned. Then Frane was in a car that caught fire while he was driving it on the motorway. He managed to get out with seconds to spare before the fuel tank exploded.
W: I don’t know whether he’s unlucky or extremely lucky, but I don’t think I ever want to travel with this guy.
(Text 10)
W: About two years ago I went with my class on our first school trip — five days in Paris! There were about thirty of us and four teachers. We all went in one big coach from our school in London. The teachers told us to be at school at four thirty in the morning. Everyone was there on time, but the coach didn’t arrive until five o’clock and we didn’t leave until five thirty! We were very cold and tired.
Anyway, the coach was very comfortable and we watched a DVD and listened to some music on the journey. We had some sandwiches and drinks with us, so we went straight to Paris without stopping. The hotel was very old, but our room was nice and the bed was great! I shared the room with three other girls.
When we went shopping I tried to practice my French a few times but sometimes I didn’t know the right words and spoke in English instead! The shops were great — I bought lots of presents, such as a dress for my mother, a bag for my dad and a T-shirt for my little sister!
I think what I enjoyed most was the boat trip. I took lots of photos of my friends and the wonderful art galleries. I was sad to leave Paris. I had a lovely time there.
