When my friend Lesa was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer，another friend and I went to the hospital to spend some time with her.We bought her a small toy
and
named
him
LemonAide.We
gave LemonAide to Lesa and told her he was to go with her to all of her treatments to remind her that we were thinking of her and caring about her even though we could not always be with her.When the treatments were completed，she said when someone else needed him she would pass him along.
A few months later，much to my surprise，it was me that she passed him to.LemonAide went with me to all of my treatments.
One day while waiting for my doctor I decided we could market the idea to fight cancer.Lesa thought it was a great idea so we founded the organization that came to be known as LemonAide' s Friends，Inc.We designed our organization to remind people fighting cancer that there are people who love and care about them all the time.Today we have totally 5013 volunteers.The money raised is donated to cancer patients who do not have insurance.The Physicians on our Board of Advisors determine how and where our money is donated.
LemonAide is for men，women，and children of all ages and to date has been sent to 34 states and 33 countries to provide smiling support for people fighting cancer.When life gave us lemons we made LemonAide，a soft smiling toy that represents love，support，and encouragement.

You don't need to get in a timetraveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives, such as the way we shop. Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist.Let's see what's in store for your future shopping.
Try it on, virtually (虚拟地). Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don't need to guess which pair looks best on you—use the eBay Fashion iPhone app(程序) to try a pair of eyewear you're checking out on a picture of your face. But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect's motion tracking camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body.
You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.
Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone's body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using Hightech to get the most accurate measurements,
so they can make special clothes just for you.
Hightech shopping carts and checkout counters. Hightech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets. Microsoft Kinectenabled carts are currently under test.
The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道), controlled merely by your movement and your voice. In China, a supermarket chain introduced tabletequipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores' aisles.
In the United States, several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop.
While it's great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn't mind it if the store used Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner. The machine identifies a product as soon as it's placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.

Few of us haven't read Cinderella，the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams.Some might not want to admit it，but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默无闻)．
Mary Santiago has that secret dream，too.Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story，a film set in a U．S.high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance.Compared with other girls，she is invisible.However，her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer，Joey Parker，appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind，handsome and desirable.Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball.They meet and fall in love with each other.But when Mary has to rush back home，she leaves behind her MP3 player，which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.Of course，there
is a wicked stepmother，who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary，even if that means embarrassing her.
The story，though it mostly follows Cinderella，does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly，the film，unlike many high school films，does not focus on looks，although the actors are all beautiful.There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumpingoff point，” writes the movie critic Amber Wilkinson.“Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇影评。讲述的是一部以灰姑娘的童话故事为蓝本的新电影——《灰姑娘之舞动奇迹》。
．In the movie，Mary Santiago is the main character who ________．
A．is brave in expressing her love
B．is badly treated by the stepmother
C．has a dream of meeting a prince
D．is embarrassed by the pop singer
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第四段第五句中的．..there is a wicked stepmother...可知答案为B项。]
2．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Joey is just like other boys in Mary's class.
B．The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.
C．Not many people have a dream to be realized.
D．Mary's mother influences her a lot in singing.
答案 B [推理判断题。根据文章第四段第四句中的．..MP3 player，which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl...可知答案。由第四段第一句可排除A项；由第一段可排除C项；由第四段第五句可排除D项。]
．What does the movie critic Amber Wilkinson mean by his words about Another Cinderella Story?
A．The movie is exactly another copy of the Cinderella fairy tale.
B．The movie is as good as the story Cinderella.
C．The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dream.
D．The movie is based on the story Cinderella while a little different from it.
答案 D [细节理解题。在安伯·威尔金森所说的话：The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumpingoff point...Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.中，jumpingoff point意为“出发点”。说明了这部电影源于灰姑娘的故事，都以追逐梦想为主题，但这部新电影又略有不同。]

A．an introduction to Mary Santiago
B．a review about a film
C．an essay about dreams

There are many dangerous sea creatures in the world.The following are some examples.
The needlefish are commonly seen living near the surface of tropical (热带的) waters.But they can also break__cover the water，and once in the air they can become dangerous flying swords.Though it is rare，people have been seriously hurt and even killed when stabbed by the fish's sharp and long jaws (下巴)．Night fishermen in small boats are at particular risk because their lights may attract the fish.
Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest crocodiles，sometimes reaching 23 feet in length and topping 2，200 pounds.Yet these crocodiles hunt quietly，lying in wait below shoreline waters to attack crabs，turtles and thirsty animals that have come to drink.Saltwater crocodiles kill a number of people each year.
There is no doubt that the great white shark sits atop the ocean food chain.The world's largest fish can weigh at over 5，000 pounds and reach lengths of more than 20 feet.Great white sharks have about 3，000 teeth，which they typically sink into sea lions，seals，small toothed whales，and sea turtles.These sharks are responsible for a third to a half of the 100 shark attacks on humans every year.
The sea anemone
(海葵) may look like the beautiful flower for which it's named，but fish that swim too close may regret it.The sea anemone，which lives on the sea floor，uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind of poison—making them helpless and fit to be eaten.
The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous.Scientists believe that the world's seas hold some 1，200 different surgeonfish species and think that they injure about 50，000 people per year.But the surgeonfish poison can also bring great benefit—they are useful in the development of new drugs.
