A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2: 00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient.

I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.

I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year.and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐.from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.

Accidents are caused; they don't just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.

Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.

By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moments of carelessness or thoughtlessness.

It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.

16. The passage suggests that________.

A.Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.

B.Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.

C.Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.

D.About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.

A.Mood.

B.Tiredness.

C.Carelessness

D.Weather

答案：D

18. The word “accidents-prone”(L.2 Para.2)means________.

A.likely to have accidents

B.injured in accidents

C.possible to die in accidents

D.responsible for road accidents

答案：A

19. What can we infer about the author opinion of accidents?

A.Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.

B.Many accidents can and should be avoided.

C.Factory accidents , unlike road accidents, are inevitable.

D.Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.

答案：B

20. The best title for the passage would be __________.

Some packages suggest that, buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although, similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in, reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.

The tradition of celebrating Mid-Autumn festival became popular throughout China in the early Tang dynasty. The lunar Au-gust 15 is a day for people worshiping the moon. On this day, under the dazzling bright moon,families reunite and enjoy the moon' s beauty. In 2006, Mid-Autumn festival was listed as one of China' s cultural heritage, and in 2008, it was classified as a public holiday. Moon cakes, as indis- pensable delicious food of the festival, were gifts people sent to families and friends during the fes-rival and usually eaten on family gatherings.

答案：中国人自古以来就在中秋时节庆祝丰收，这与北美地区庆祝感恩节的习俗十分相似，过中秋节的习俗于唐代早期在中国各地开始流行，中秋节在农历八月十五，是人们拜月的节日，这天夜晚皓月当空，人们合家团聚，共赏明月。2006年，中秋节被列为中国的文化遗产，2008年又被定为公共假日，月饼被视为中秋节不可或缺的美食，人们将月饼作为礼物馈赠亲友或在家庭聚会上享用。

Cdl Phones in High School

With the development of the society, an increasing number of high school students have their own cell phones now. A hot debate about whether cell phones should be used in the classroom arises.

There is no doubt it makes them easier to communicate with their teachers or classmates. If they meet a problem, they can call their classmates or teachers. It is very convenient. But I don' t think it' s a good idea for high school students to use cell phones in the classroom. For some students, they don' t know how to allocate time. They might spend too much time sending messa-ges, listening to music or surfing on the Internet with the phones. Without doubt, they would spend less time studying in consequence.

So it' s advisable that parents should not buy their children cell phones unless they can make sure they will be used properly.
