What should you do if you see a group of people fighting? What if a robber (强盗) breaks
into your home? The correct thing to do is to dial 110--China's emergency telephone number.
In China, the number 110 originates from a 46 day--Jan. 10. Can you see why this day was
chosen? The date of Jan 10 (1.10) spells out the number itself.

lot 47 . During 2011, 110 emergency centers answered over 135 million phone calls. According

cases (刑事案件).
When faced with 48 , most people know that they should call 110. But few of them, may
know how to make a 110 call. "110" is a free call that people can make either by fixed telephone
or mobile phone. There is no need to 49 a city code (区号) before 110 when calling with mobile
phone.
A. deal with B. quicker C. as soon as D. clearly E. untilThe most important thing when calling 110 is to keep calm. You need to say your name,
location, your phone number and describe the situation as 50 as possible. If you are too nervous
to say anything, just follow the telephone operator's instructions.
If the phone is busy, don't hang up. You should hold on 51 the operator answers it.
As well as China, almost every country has its own emergency number. In the US, 911 links
callers to emergency services including police, fire and ambulance (救护车). The system is able to
provide the physical location of mobile telephones, which makes it 52 to get to the scene. In the
UK, people call 999 when they are in an emergency.
Next are some figures about the figure 110:
● "110" is a 24-hour emergency number.
● On average, every telephone operator answers 800 to 1,000 emergency calls every day.
● Operators should 53 an emergency call in 57 seconds.
● Police set off no more than one minute after receiving information from telephone operators.
In cities, police are required to get to the scene in five minutes. In suburbs, it is ten minutes.
● In China, 95 percent of cities and towns have 110 emergency centers.
● There are more than 24,000 telephone operators around the country.

How do you like your school? Have you ever written to your headmaster to express your
idea? Here are some letters written by students from different schools.
Luke, 14, from Jiangsu:
I will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school, we students have to wear
school uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports kit (服装) looks really dark and old. It
can't stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange colors and make a new type
of uniform. I hope our headmaster will think about it.
Danny, 14, from Zhejiang:
I have two suggestions for my headmaster. First of all, I think we should have more hobby
classes in science, such as plane model making class and computer programming class. It is really
boring to study basic subjects all the time. And second, I hope we can have more PE lessons or
more time for physical exercise. Lots of students now don't have a strong enough body.
Sam, 15, from Shanxi:
I'd like to say thank you to our headmaster. About one week ago, I got a bad cold after

my parents came. I really want to thank him for that.
Helen, 14, from Shandong:
In the letter I wrote, I want to talk about the possibility of personal classes. Now many middle
schools are trying the "personal class" system. Students don't have regular classes. They can
choose lessons they want to take. I think it is more effective. And it is also good for exercise. We
don't have to stay in one classroom all the time.

Edward Sims was born in 1892. He was the fifth child and only son of Herbert and Dora
Sims. Herbert was a carpenter (木匠), and did a successful b 81 making furniture. He decided
that his first-born son would be a carpenter just like him. For this reason, Edward was kept away
from school and worked with his father.
However, Edward was not born to be a carpenter. T 82 he had a fit body, he didn't have
strong arms like his father. When he tried to find another job, he found it difficult because he had
never learnt to read or write.
One day, he went for an interview at a law office. The job was a runner, taking papers from the
office to other offices in the city. The lawyer was pleased to see that Edward was physically fit;
but when he discovered that the young man couldn't read or write, he d 83 not to employ him.
"How can you deliver documents to other offices," he asked, "if you can't read the addresses on
them?"
Greatly d 84 , Edward left the building and went to wait for a bus to take him back home.Next to the bus stop, a man was selling newspapers from a stand (摊位).
"Excuse me, young man?" he said. "Would you look after my stand for a moment?"
For the next 20 minutes, Edward sold newspapers, lots of them. When the man came back, he
was so happy to see his new assistant's honesty that he o 85 him a job. Edward took it
immediately.
In the next few months, the two men progressed from working on newspaper stands to
s 86 newspapers, cigarettes, candy and other goods in a shop. Then they opened a second shop,
and a third. Finally, they had a chain of 25 shops in three cities.
Edward became very rich, so he employed a private teacher to teach him read and write. The
teacher was e 87 amazed at what Edward had achieved. "Imagine what you could do if you
were able to read and write when you were younger!" he said.
D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
When Li Meng chose to learn biological science at university, he believed that a popular
major(专业，主修课程) would later find him a good job. However, things changed when he
graduated; he had to spend a whole year job hunting and finally got a position as a biology
teacher.
Biological science is among the 15 college majors with high unemployment (失业) rates,
from 2012 to 2013, according to a list released by China's Ministry of Education on Oct 14. Some
other popular majors such as marketing, animation (动画), tourism management and E-commerce
are all on the list.
How did these majors lose their popularity? Huang Jin, secretary of the Communist Youth
League committee at Guangxi University, said that many popular majors are set up in too many
universities and then lead to tough competition in certain fields. Besides that, many universities
open popular majors to attract students, but they could not ensure the education quality.
Although some students have decided not to choose these majors, experts suggest that the list
could only be one reference (参考).There is more to consider, such as personal interests and strong
points.
What's more, the popularity of a major may change; the knowledge you've gained would not.
"However lower the employment rate is, you can get a good job as long as you are good
enough," said Niu Yuxi, an English major at Guilin University of Technology in Guangxi.
Beyond that, university is more than a preparation for a good job. "University is not only a
place for career training. We should also value the moral education," said Yang Yuliang, president
of Fudan University, at the opening ceremony of the new semester.
88. Which subject did Li Meng major in at university?
________________________________________________________________
89. What kind of job did he get finally?

90. List three majors which are among the 15 college majors with high unemployment rates.

91. Why did these majors become less popular? (In no more than 10 words.)
