Introduction
Blenheim Palace is one of the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces. It was built between 1705 and 1722 as a reward of the British government to John Churchill, 1st Duke (公爵) of Marlborough, for defeating King Louis XIV’s army at Blenheim, a small Bavarian village on the Danube River.
The palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, which displayed strength and arm glory. It is the largest non-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Winston Churchill
In 1874, the palace was the birthplace of the duke’s most famous descendant, Winston Churchill, who was to become the UK’s Prime Minister (some would say Britain’s greatest 20th-century politician ) and Nobel Prize winner for literature. It is also in Blenheim that Winston got married to Clementine Hozier in 1908.
A lasting exhibition is devoted to the man’s life, work and writings. Winston and his wife are buried in Bladon Church within the palace.
Opening Hours & Admission
Blenheim is still the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough and is therefore not open all year round (although the park is). The palace opens its doors to visitors from 12 February to 11 December. Entry to the palace, park and gardens cost ￡11.50 during the low season and ￡13 during the peak season (Easter weekend and from 28 May to 11 September), or ￡6/￡8 for the park and gardens only.
The park is open all-year round from 9am to 4:45pm (last entry). Admission is ￡2.50 for adults and ￡1.50 for children.

It is six o’clock in the morning. You are asleep in my left arm and I am learning the art of one-handed typing. Your mother, more tired yet more happy than I’ve ever known her, is sound asleep in the room next door.
When you’re older we’ll tell you that you were born in Hong Kong in the lunar year of the pig. “It's a boy, so lucky,” our neighbors told us. They said you were the first baby to be born in the block this year. This, they told us, was good Feng Shui, in other words, a positive sign. Naturally your mother and I were only too happy to believe that.
Your coming has turned me upside down and inside out. I am pained by the memory of each suffering child I have come across on my journeys as a journalist. To tell you the truth, it’s nearly too much for me to even think of the children being hurt and abused and killed.
Last October, in Afghanistan, when you were growing inside your mother, I met Sharja, aged twelve, motherless, fatherless, guiding me through the grey ruins of her home. Everything was gone, she told me.
There is another memory of Rwanda, and the churchyard where I found a mother and her three young children huddled(蜷缩) together where they’d been beaten to death. The children had died holding on to their mother.
Daniel, these memories explain some of the protectiveness I feel for you, and the occasional moments of blind terror (恐惧) when I imagine anything bad happening to you.

Two thieves came to a house to steal something. They dug a hole in the wall of the house. There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl into the house. “Look! In comes one.” she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside, “She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didn’t believe him, so he said, “Let us two try to crawl into the house together.” At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house, too. The woman saw the mice and shouted, “In come two. Catch them! ” The two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said, “You saw them come in but where are they？I will catch them tonight.” The two thieves started running away at once.
The two thieves wanted to make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before. The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came before the house. The man and the woman were ploughing in their fields.
The rein (缰绳) broke and the woman came home for a rope. She saw two men selling sweet potatoes and wanted to buy some. She picked out two which looked like mice. At the time, the man couldn’t wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up. The woman showed the sweet potatoes to the man and said, “How they look like the two of last night!” The man said, “I asked you to fetch a rope, why don’t you hurry for it?” The two thieves ran away quickly without their sweet potatoes.

You may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.
The US government is especially worried about the problem. That’s why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. What’s more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.
One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount.
The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures. “Teenagers should not drink beverages that contain caffeine. They should be aware of caffeine’s effects on health and on how the brain works. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. They will remember less of what they just studied,” said Stallings, a member of the institute.
Companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids. However, there is no law to stop children from buying them. So the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. As for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. If not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remind consumers. The government must do that.
Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.
32. What is the US government particularly concerned about?
A. The fact that coffee contains caffeine.       
B. The practice of adding caffeine to foods.
C. The measures of avoiding caffeine’s effects.
D. The practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.
33. Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _____.
A. caffeine’s effects on health            B. teenagers’ addiction to caffeine
C. drinks which contain much caffeine     D. people’s concern about teenagers’ health
34. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____.
A. the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeine’s effects
B. the process of the government’s controlling the use of caffeine
C. the government’s responsibility of taking care of teenagers
D. the risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays
35. The author may agree that _______.
   A. headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagers
   B. food makers don’t add much caffeine to many products now
C. caffeine is good and useful for teenagers’ study
D. getting enough sleep can make people energetic

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every single decision we make shapes our current reality. 36__________ So if you’re unsatisfied with your life right now, making the effort to change your decisions will be the key to creating the life you want to have in the future.
37___________
Before making a decision, you have to understand what a decision does. When you decide to pick up a cigarette, that decision might result in you picking up another later on. But if you decide not to smoke that first cigarette and make a decision to focus your attention on somewhere else, your desire will eventually weaken and you will become smoke-free.
Carry your decision out.
38____________ Commit to making a real decision. What’s a real decision? It’s when you decide on something, and that decision is carried out through action. It’s pointless to make a decision in your head, but not doing anything about it. That’s the same as not making a decision at all.
Tell others about your decisions.
Sometimes telling other people what we’re going to do will make us follow through. I’ve been trying to become an early riser but waking up early without falling back asleep felt impossible. So I made the decision to tell people that I would wake up at 6 a.m. and stay up.39___________
Have fun making decisions.
40___________ I know decision-making might not be a fun thing, but when you do it often, you’ll learn a lot about yourself on the way, and you’ll become more confident, and making decisions will just become easier that you won’t even think about it.
A. Enjoy the process.
B. When you make a decision, act on it.
C. Examine the decision you now have.
D. Every decision you make causes a chain of events.
E. Within two days, I was able to accomplish doing this.
F. But we often go through life unaware what actions we are taking.
G. Realize the power of decision ma
