What are some of the steps a person can take to prevent his house from being broken in while he or she is away? One step is to make sure that the house has a live-in look. Living room shades could be pulled down only half-away. Bedrooms that usually have the shades pulled down at night should be left down. Another is to make sure that all outside looks are the dead-belt(帶) type. Still another is to leave several low-watt(瓦) lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turn on and off automatically(自動地) are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave a radio turned into a talking station. Any type of conversation makes a burglar(盜賊) think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on vacation, make sure that nothing collected in the front or back of the house. Make certain that the newspaper is stopped and that a trusted neighbor has been asked to pick up the posts.
1.What is the meaning of “live-in” in this passage?
A. Worn out.B. Lively and cheerful.
C. Fed on.D. Presently taken by people.
2.The author advises people to ________.
A. pull the living-room shades down at night

C. ask a neighbor to pick up the daily post
D. make sure the newspaper is delivered
3.The most important room to leave a light burning in is the ________.
A. bedroomB. bathroomC. living-roomD. kitchen
4.Why is it a good idea to leave the radio turned to a talking station?
A. So one won’t feel lonely or afraid.
B. So a burglar can’t be sure whether or not there’s a person in the house.
C. To keep well-informed about the presence of thieves.

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants(參與者) dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from roof top to roof top.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself. It is only a state of mind. It is when you trust yourself that you earn energy.
1.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.
A. its founder, David Belle
B. the varieties of participants
C. its risks and tricks
D. the film Casino Royale
2.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. streetsB. buildingsC. barriersD. roofs
3.Which of the following is true of parkour?
A. It needs special training.
B. It is a good but boring sport.
C. It challenges human abilities.
D. It is a team sport.
4.As its participants move around a city, ________.
A. they should run to extremes
B. they may choose to escape
C. they can ask for help
D. they must learn to survive
5.Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?
A. Sports and extremes.
B. Excitement and freedom.
C. Determination and freedom.
D. Dreams and success.

During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be him. I hated the place. I had never been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was —almost 125 0F even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌). a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed, were with sand, sand, sand!
I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I be in prison! My father answered my with just two lines—two lines that will always sing in my — two lines that completely changed my life :
Two men looked out from prison bars
One saw the mud, the other saw the stars
I read those two lines I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present ; I would look for the stars.
I made friends with the natives, and their amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus. I watched for the desert sunsets, and for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the desert had been an ocean .
What brought about this change in me ? The desert hadn’t changed, I had. I had changed my . And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered I had looked out of my self-created prison and the stars.
