It was a terrorist attack. Police shot(射击) dead four of the attackers and caught the other four . Police believe that a terrorist group from Xinjiang made this attack.
The attackers will be brought to justice(法律制裁). The government has also taken action to make public places safer. For example, there are policemen now standing at the gates of some schools in Kunming. There are also more security(安全) checks at bus stations, train stations and airports.
What should we do if we are in danger? The Ministry of Public Security gave people some advice on its official micro blog on March 2. If there’s an explosion(爆炸), lie on the floor and try not to breathe in the smoke. Let go of your bag and find a place around you to hide(躲藏). If you see a dangerous-looking person, don’t look into his or her eyes. Don’t let them know you’re following them. Don’t make them angry.

Do you often see students drop their food on the floor in the dining hall? Or do you ever have such a thinking of dropping some food on the floor but still want to eat it. If someone sees you drop the food, he or she might shout, “5-second rule!” This so-called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?
Doctors tested the rule with some students. They found that if students dropped the food on the floor for five seconds or less, it is less likely(可能的) to have bacteria(细菌) in it. Doctors tried a lot of foods like bread, cookies, noodles, etc. to see how much bacteria they had when he touch the floor. They also allowed the food to lie on different kinds of flooring – for 3 seconds to 30 seconds. Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the different kinds of floor also had an effect(影响). It is least likely for food to pick up bacteria on carpet(地毯), while most likely on tile(瓷砖) after more than 5 seconds. The test also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria.
Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eat food dropped on the floor still carries a bacteria risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time,” said the doctor.
54. The “5-second rule” means that ________.
A. people often shout at someone for 5 seconds when they drop food on the floor
B. food will go bad when people drop it on the floor for 5 seconds or less
C. food is OK to eat when you pick it up off the floor in less than 5 seconds

D. if different kinds of flooring have different bacteria
56. The bacteria risk of the dropped food does NOT depend on ________.
A. what the food is B. what the bacteria are

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody thinks it’s hard-work, while others may say money, love or luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to show each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c… you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100,a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to(导致) different ways of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one changes one’s attitude. When you change your attitude and became friendly to others, you’ll meet more smiling faces to you. In the same way, if you take a positive(积极地)attitude to failure(失败),you’ll find it’s also rewarding(回报) though you may lose something.
58. Of the following words, _________ has the highest mark.
A. knowledge B. hard-work C. luck D. money
59. According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to _________.
A. ask for help from others B. solve them on your own
C. change your attitude D. wait for others to help you
60. According to the writer, attitude _________.
A. is being friendly to others
B. is the way of looking at things or doing things
C. is a change for the better
D. must cause you to lose something
61. From the passage we can learn that _________.
A. different attitudes come from different ways of life
B. attitude can solve every problem in our lives
C. failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude
D. the word “attitude” has the highest mark of all the English words
D
A new word diaosi has become so popular that we can see it everywhere–from online forums to blogs. Many people call themselves diaosi. However, why is the word so popular that it has become a cultural phenomenon(文化现象)?
In fact, the word first came from Baidu Tiebar of a soccer player called Li Yi. There, fans of Li are called “yisi”. They not only talk about soccer but also complain(抱怨)about their lives, work and so on. His fans are known for their impolite and dirty language. So people who read their posts(帖子) gave them the name diaosi.
The word diaosi was first made by single(单身), young men. They feel they have dead-end lives. They’re not rich enough, not good-looking, and have difficulty succeeding in the work. They even don’t have rich families and helpful social(社会的) relations for their jobs, and most importantly, proper women to marry(结婚). "I’m just a diaosi, poor and plain-looking. Who will marry me?”
Nowadays, more and more young people call themselves diaosi. Why is the word so welcome among many young people? For one thing, the word diaosi was made by common people. And most of them feel the same way. For another, being a diaosi gives a way for people to mock themselves and lower pressure. “I already have little to lose, so why don’t I mock myself for fun?”
The diaosi phenomenon shows not just a cultural problem, but a larger social problem. Many diaosi feel they are among the lowest class(阶层) of the society. They even stop trying to improve their lives.
Our country doesn’t offer them a good way to improve themselves at work. “The pressure of marriage makes them even more worried.” Ke Qianting, a professor at Tsinghua University, said. Many of those young men call themselves diaosi, since they can’t find a proper woman to marry. They have a strong feeling of loss.”
62. The word diaosi first appeared _______.
A. on the Internet blog B. in Baidu Tiebar C. in the newspaper C. on TV
63. The word diaosi becomes so popular because _______.
A. many young people feel the same way
B. young people want to mock themselves as a way to lower stress
C. it’s cool to be a diaosi
D. both A and B
64. The underlined word “mock” probably means _______ in Chinese.
A. 激发 B.嘲笑 C. 鼓励 D.提醒
65. Which of the following is NOT true about diaosi?
A. They’re mostly single young people.
B. They don’t have a good job.
C. It’s hard for them to find a proper woman to marry.
D. They try hard to make their lives better.
