四会中学2009届高三英语第3周周练
一
One night recently , I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour . A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other , I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second . I wondered whether he might be thinking , as I was , how dependent we were on each other at that moment . I was relying on him not to fall asleep , not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end . Though we had never spoken a word to each other , he relied on me in just the same way .
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works . At some level , we all depend upon one another . Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line . And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively , with friends or even with strangers .
As technology shrinks our world , the need increases for cooperative action among nations . In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus , which saved thousands of lives . The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world . We must recognize that our fates (命运) are not ours alone to control .
In my own life , I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility . But , as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others . so , while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road , what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat , but a shared moment of trust .

Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid ? Back then , racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours , you weren’t thinking fitness , you were thinking entertainment . But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships , the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten . Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find .
Although considered an excellent form of exercise , jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons . First ,most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise , but they also believe that it is simply too difficult . In other words , they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome . Second , many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive ——not as something fun or enjoyable .
As a matter of fact , jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practise it .Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again , people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps . A single bounce , a double –bounce , a skip , a knee-up , side swings , as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .
Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning . It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other . In short , jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment , time and space , yet leading to a much healthier life . 11．From the first paragraph we learn that . A．jumping rope has faded from people’s memories B．people now have more advanced equipment C．racing around the playground was preferred D．people now like to have exercise in a gym

Villagers in Koh Samui yesterday criticized state authorities for their failure to stop illegal deforestation on the resort island . The villagers in Bor Phut said they had seen a group of men take chainsaws to a forest on Khao Duang Nok mountain near Samui airport .They believe the men are falling trees to clear the land for a construction project .
“We’ve heard the sound of saws working,” said a villager . The mountain’s steep slope made it difficult for the villagers to get into the forest to see the men at work . However , they said traces (痕迹) of deforestation were apparent . One villager said he reported the matter to state authorities , asking them to take legal action , but to no avail .
Khao Duang Nok has been under the spotlight after the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry investigated the matter .
A businessman was charged with having occupied 49 rai of land with false land documents and many land officials were arranged to leave the area during the investigation in connection with land scandals (丑闻) in a project known as “The Peak”.
Koh Samui district chief Decha Kangsanant has ordered a stop to any development activities on Khao Duang Nok until the investigation results are released . However , the villagers said nothing has been done to stop deforestation . Sunthorn Watcharakuldirok ,director of the Forestry Department , said the group of men entered the forest two weeks ago after forestry officials returned from their inspection .
