It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was 31 , I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got 32 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with 33 . At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I 34 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing.

I was not afraid of being 38 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no 39 in going through it.

On price there is no real advantage. However, it adopted a unique marketing strategy, and quickly occupied the market, a top ice cream brand. Haagen Dazs did not set up shops in ordinary supermarkets or grocery stores. Haagen Dazs leisure fashion shops are in busy sections of malls. The layout is carefully planned to create an elegant atmosphere, and sometimes, a flagship(旗艦) store layout will cost several million dollars. Compared to other ice cream brands, Haagen Dazs consumers are tightly grouped. It is understood that Haagen Dazs seldom does television advertising. The majority of ads are highly visual impact of the print ads. In particular many advertisements lock those pyramid tip consumers. Moreover, as long as the consumer spending 500 yuan to fill in a small form can become their members, these members will be regularly sent advertisements by direct mail.

Today, Haagen Dazs has 55 countries in the world with approximately 700 stores with annual sales of more than 1 billion US dollars (about 8.28 billion yuan). Haagen Dazs has become the world’s most popular top ice cream brand. In the United States, its market share is 6.1%, 1% in France, 4.6% in Japan, 4% in Singapore and 5% in Hong Kong.

TransLink chief executive officer Peter Strachan said bus and train services were continuing to run where possible, however all CityCat and CityFerry services had been cancelled until further notice. “These are extremely difficult conditions for South East Queensland – we are running essential services where possible but safety remains to be the most important,” Mr Strachan said. “Severe weather and associated flooding has impacted on all modes of public transport, with bus, ferry and train services all impacted to varying degrees. “If you are planning to use public transport at anytime over the next few days, then I would recommend you check that your intended service is still running.” Service disruptions (中斷) for today include: l City network trains running hourly on all lines. l Bus diversions, delays and cancellations in some regions, particularly across Brisbane, Ipswich and the Sunshine Coast. l CityCat and CityFerry services cancelled. Queensland Rail Chief Executive Officer Paul Scurrah said rising waterways had closed some train lines, and road closures and damage to property throughout the South-East had contributed to a shortage of available rail employees. “We intend to run trains hourly on all lines, similar to the timetable we operate on Christmas Day. We will also be looking to run other additional services to meet demand as required. At this stage we will run services stopping at all stations which will depart at the same time on the hour, however, this is all subject to the weather conditions and the availability of traincrew.” Mr Scurrah encouraged all customers to visit the Translink website for specific departure times for their station, and asked for patience in the event of delays. “Queensland Rail appreciates that reduced services may cause disruptions but it is simply unavoidable. We have a dedicated and experienced team monitoring the situation around the clock and will be working to reopen the network as soon as practicably possible,” Mr Scurrah said. The latest service disruption information is available on the TransLink website www.translink.com.au. 55. What is Translink? A. A transport company. B. A government branch. C. A bus company. D. A railway company. 56. Which means of transport is NOT available during the special period? A. Bus. B. Train. C. Ferry. D. Plane. 57. According to Mr Strachan, what is the first consideration while providing public transport? A. Weather conditions. B. Road conditions. C. People’s safety. D. People’s convenience. 58.

C Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TV, friend requests, exciting online games and your mobile – or would you easily survive? Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours. Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University. The experiment is now over but he doesn’t yet know the full findings. However, during the experiment, Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said: “They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms(癥狀), overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.” During their 24-hour painful experience, three of the experiment’s guinea pigs had to endure one intrusion(侵?jǐn)_) from the media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops. Elliot Day wrote: “Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.” From Caroline Scott, we read: “I didn’t expect it, but being prevented from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual… I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but it’s not something I would like to do again!” And Charlotte Gay wrote: “I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social tool, it’s my main access point of communication.” Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. And a recent study by Nielson found that on average, US teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month – that’s about six texts per waking hour. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future? 59. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To ask for information. B. To entertain the readers. C. To lead to the topic. D. To present an idea. 60. About Dr. Roman Gerodimos’ experiment, we know that ________. A. volunteers felt uncomfortable in it B. volunteers didn’t want to eat anything C. the experiment was still going on D. volunteers were allowed to take their laptops 61. The underlined expression “was thrown up into the air” most probably means ________. A. went on normally B. was completely disturbed C. turned out perfect D. was badly designed 62. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. Surviving without the Media B. Unplugging Your Life C. Valuing Social Communication D. Setting Aside Time for Sleep D My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me. About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumour on my pancreas. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors’ code for “prepare to die.” It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy(活組織檢查). It turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the sur
