Passage 2
_______________
Animals perform many useful and entertaining jobs. Dogs are
particular valuable in guiding the blind, protecting property, 1._______________
finding lost people, and hunting criminals. Horses are used in
guarding herds, and help farmers work in their land. Pigeons have 2.________________
long been used to carry messages. People realize that, although
animals may not have the same intelligence like human beings, 3.________________
they are smart enough to learn certain things. Training a dog to be
a watchdog often produces unexpected results .Some dogs quickly
learned the differences between unwanted people and friends. This 4._______________
is because their masters welcome friends and invite him into their 5.______________
houses. Some dogs will always attack the postman who comes to
deliver letters. One explanation for this behavior is that, although
the postman comes to the house often, but he never enters the 6._______________
house. Therefore, the dog thinks the postman is someone who is
not wanted, but keeps coming back anyway. Masters of dogs who
attack postman can easily show the dog that the postman is 7.______________
friend and that the dog does not need to treat him as an unwanted 8.______________
person. A dog is quite ready to do that his master wishes. And a 9._______________
dog is always happy when he is praised for understanding
correctly. Dogs can be taught to obey commands when the sound
of a word is connected to a certain act. Two important factors in
teaching a dog to obey commands are: using the same word
each time for the same act, and teaching only one act at a time.
Dogs can learn not only to sit, lie down, come and stay in place when
their masters come away, but also to jump, carry, and fetch. 10._____________
Passage 3
It is not easy noticed but it is everywhere. Its influence is very 1._______________
small but measurable. Whether in restaurants, shopping centers
nor assembly lines---even on farm---background or mood music 2.________________
can be heard almost somewhere in the United States, from hushed 3.________________
executive offices to screeching wrecking yards.
One hand tool manufactured plant found that efficiency increased 4._______________
4.5% with the introduction of background musician while a 5.
California farmer discovered that such music calmed nervous
cattles and prevented stampedes that used to cause thousands 6.______________
of dollars in damage. The type of music seems to have a impact. 7._____________
Department stores play slower music during the weekdays encourage 8._______________
shopping but speed up the beat on weekends although the 9._________________
crowds are heavier. The music is basically designed not to be
listened, says one background music man, but to create a favorable 10.________________
mood or build a tempo to work to.
Passage 4
The White House began to be built in 1792, but it was not
completed until ten years later. Every American President lived in
it except for George Washington, although he did have a 1.____________
majority part in designing it．The government held a competition 2._____________
to choose the best design for the President’s house. The winner
was a young man of Sough Carolina, James Hoban. His design was 3.___________
a three-level house of stone. And President Washington made
some changes in the winning design. He made the house long and 4._____________
wider, and changed it into a two-storied house instead of the
three-storied one. The second President, John Adams, was first to 5.____________
live in the White House. When he and his wife moved onto the 6._____________
new house in November, 1800, although the man living area was
completed, work was still going on. The whole work did not
finish since the administration of the third President, Thomas 7.____________
Jefferson. Twelve years later, the British army invaded
Washington and burned the White House. The fire complete 8.______________
destroyed the inside of the building and experts said the White
House was too dangerous to live in. Later on, workers rebuilt the
inside of the White House. More offices were added, most of
which underground. None of the work, however, changed the 9.__________________
appearing of the building. Many people asked why the President’s 10.________________
house is called the White House. Historians say it has been so
called simply because it was painted white.

Passage 5
Almost every new innovation goes through three phases.
When initially introducing into the market, the process of 1.___________
adoption is slow. The early models are expensive and hard to use,
and perhaps even unsafe. The economic impact is relatively great. 2.____________
The second phase is the explosive one, while the innovation was 3.___________
rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets cheaper and
easier to use and becomes something familiar. And then in the
third stage, diffusion of the innovation slows down again, as if it 4.___________
permeates out across the economy.
During the explosive phase ,whole new industries spring up
to produce the new product or innovation, and to service it. For
example, during the 1920s, there was dramatic acceleration in 5._____________
auto production, at 1.9 million in 1920 to 4.5 million in 1929. 6.______________
This boom was accompanied by all sorts of other essential
activities necessary for an auto-based nation: Roads had to been 7.___________
built for the cars to run on; refineries and oil wells, to provide the
gasoline; and garages, to repair it. 8.________
Historically, the same pattern is repeated once and again with 9.__________
innovations. The construction of the electrical system required an
enormous early investment in generation and distribution
capacity. The introduction of the radio was followed by a buying
spree by Americans what quickly brought 10.___________
radios into almost half of all households by 1930s, up from nearly
none in 1924.
Passage 6
Learning does not happen passively. It is an activity which a
Person does. It is a task which can be attempted in various of 1.______________
Ways, some of which are more appropriate than others. When the
Material to be learned is a brief and simple kind which is familiar 2_____________
with the person and of intense interest to him, effective learning 3______________
usually proceeds automatically. In the first place, the person at
once relates the material to other material which has already 4._____________
securely learned. Subsequently, the relevance of the newly
learned material to his interests assures its being recalled on many 5. _________________
occasions, and one repetition minimizes the likelihood of 6________________
remembering. Furthermore, the subsequent use of the new material 7._______________
is likely to take place in a variety of contexts and so the material
becomes related to a narrower range of other material. Because of 8._______________
all this, the material is rapidly learned, long retained ,and recalled
with increasingly readiness in a variety of contexts. Without really 9.________________
trying, the person had fulfilled a few important conditions of 10._______________
effective learning.
Passage 7
After months of speculation about what Amazon. Com would
do with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Web surfers
finally got their first taste on April 14th. Yet despite of some 1.___________
intriguing new features not yet found on leading sites such as
Google. And Yahoo!, the site (www. A9. com) – still in test
mode-rises as many questions as its answers. The biggest 2.___________
question remains is whether Amazon through A9, would clash 3.__________
into Google more directly. Google itself is testing a search engine 4._________
for products called Froogle that’s starting to appeal Web shoppers. 5.___________
At the same time, Amazon clearly isn’t looking to limit A9’s
horizons. How directly A9 eventually goes up against the reigned 6.__________
search champion, it faced lots of challenges. For one, it may run 7.___________
into some of the same privacy issues that recently have plagued
Google. A9’s privacy policy points out that information provided
through entering search term or by signing into one’s Amazon 8.___________
account could supply the company with information that could
personally identify the searcher. Those may be somewhat less 9.____________
instructive than Google’s upcoming Gmail free
e-mail offering, which could search the contents of messages to
pitch personalized ads. But comments posted on some sites
already indicate some people are uncomfortable with Google’s 10.___________
potential threats to privacy.
Passage 8
Doctors tell us not to smoke, but lots of people smoke
Tobacco every day. Long ago, no one in the Europe smoked the 1._________
Tobacco plant was unknown there. It grew in America, and
Christopher Columbus found it there. Later he returned Europe 2.________
and told everyone about tobacco. He sad that the American
Indians often smoked that. One way of smoking was this: the 3.________
American Indians threw some tobacco leaves with fire. Then they 4.________
put long tubes in their mouths. The other ends of the tubes were
over the fire, so they were able to draw the smoke from their 5.________
mouths. About the year 1560, a Frenchman, Jean Nicot, was living
in Lisbon, Portugal. He was very interesting in all American 6._________
plants, some of them were very different than the plants of Europe. 7.________
He ( and other men too ) used the leaves of the tobacco plant to
Cure pain. If a person had a bad pain in a leg or an arm, Nicot put
Tobacco leaves on the painless place. He tried to cure the pain in 8.________
That way. Besides, we say now that tobacco contains nicotine. 9._______
A word nicotine comes from this man’s name. 10.______
Passage 9
Word came from California of a new weapon in the war on
Household pests. Two scientists work for a firm in California 1._________
developed a new method to eliminate insects with using dangerous 2._________
chemicals. The new weapon-hot air. The basic idea is that insect
pests can adjust to temperature much above normal. In laboratory 3._______
experiments, cockroaches and termites can’t survive much more
than a quarter of hour at 100 degrees Fahrenheit or about 50 4._______
degrees centigrade. The new method involves covering a house
with a huge tent, and fill it with air hearted to around 65 degrees 5._______
centigrade. Hot air is forced in with fans and the tent keeps the
heat inside the house.
Although termites try to escape by hiding in wood beams, the 6._______
heat treatment must be continued by four to six hours. But when it’s 7._______
All over and the insects are dead, there are no toxic residues to
Danger humans or pets, and no funny smells. Scientists claim that 8._______
there’s no danger of fire too, since very few household materials 9.______
will burn at 65 degrees centigrade. In fact, wood is prepared for
construction use by drying in the ovens at 100 degrees centigrade,
that is substantially hotter. 10._______
Passage 10
Expressing Yourself in English is an interesting new textbook
with some variations from the traditional ones in its approach.
They would seem appropriate for self-study, especially when used 1.___________
in conjunction with the cassette, but is primarily intended of 2.___________
classroom use. Indeed, the text itself contains notes to the teachers
rather than that appearing under a separate teacher’s guide. Each 3.___________
unit contains three readings, all of which ,except for those
appearing in the ninth and the final unit, are illustrated. The
teacher’s notes indicate the teacher should refrain of answering 4.___________
students’ questions about these readings until each student has
worked through all the reading comprehension exercises without
help. Among the book’s distinctive features is the fact that contains 5.__________
a more extensive list of references than any other writing for this 6.___________
level, while exercise are provided and allow students to be
creative with the English they learn. Again, like most comparable 7.____________
texts, Expressing Yourself in English does not formally introduce
the verb until Unit 3. One hint for teachers and students likely is 8.____________
that students should not expect to be successful with the examinations
offered in the body of the text if they study outside 9.___________
of class and memorize the dialogue that introduces each unit. In
order to keep the price lowly, the book is paperbound and all 10._____________
pictures and illustrations are in black and white. They textbook will
be accompanied by a workbook to be published later this year.
