Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong? Or, wanted to show   36  at a party but the song you’d practised so many times suddenly   37  more difficult?
I've had both these   38 .As a Senior 3 student, I have to   39  many exams. Each time I enter one thinking “I   40  fail this time.” , I get a low mark.
But don't be surprised --- it's not   41  we don't try, or do enough preparation, or take it   42 . On the contrary, it is because we put ourselves under too much   43 . It is thinking ‘I must…’ that makes us taste the terrible flavor of   44 .
We often   45  to our friends, “Don't be too hard   46  yourself!”. But when we   47  our own goals, we may not listen to our own advice.
In doing so, we are making our path to success increasingly difficult.
So why not   48  this crazy pursuit(追求) to get the best? Just face the problem   49  before you with a calm mind, enjoy the hard work and you will succeed.
In my opinion,   50  a calm state of mind is a skill for life. For people who want to succeed,   51  this is a very important lesson.
So   52  time when you're trying to draw a straight line or   53  a performance, tell yourself, “If I can just do it better than last time, it's a   54 . ”
Keep a calm state of mind, and you will be happy   55  you succeed or fail.

Most recently, it’s very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews.
Naturally, it’s easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We—as parents—are so eager to protect our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself all the time that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I’ll let them fail.
I’ll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure—along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.—will be part of growth for them. Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today. From terrorism (恐怖主义) and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish.
My children are faced with hard situations in their own life almost each day, but they try to negotiate (协商) everything now. It’s a small price to help them learn a skill they’ll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don’t come with them on job interviews. 
小题1:Why do parents go along with their kids on job interviews?
A.Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties.
B.Because they think they can protect them from being hurt.
C.Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews.
D.Because their kids strongly request them to do so.
小题2:According to the author, what is helpful to kids’ development?
A.Protecting them.B.Keeping them safe.
C.Leaving them alone.D.Blaming them.
小题3:The author believes experiencing failure in life can make kids ___________.
A.become healthier than other kids
B.grow in this challenging world
C.develop all social skills
D.escape from natural disasters
小题4:If the writer’s boy goes to a job interview, she probably will ___________.
A.go with him to protect her kid from difficulty
B.stay home but give him directions over telephone
C.wait outside and talk with other parents
D.let him go to the interview by himself
小题5:Which of the following might be the best title of the text?
A.Never help your kidsB.Let your kids fail
C.Go to the interview with your kidsD.Live without parents

Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”. Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make.Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak.
Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls.The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their reponses.Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became.Alert(警惕的).Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.
"In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger.' " Hare told.Discovery News.
Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.
Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the caller’s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.
In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too.According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.
While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害兽). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.
小题1:The text mainly talks about
A.the study on the language of squirrels
B.the comparison between squirrels and chickadees
C.the calling for the protection of squirrels
D.the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies
小题2:If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make ____.
A.whistles with chucksB.pure chirps
C.whistles without chucksD.repeated chucks
小题3:The underlined word “tidings” in pardgmph 6 probably means ____.
A.difficultiesB.poisesC.messagesD.languages
小题4:What can be learned from this text?
A.Squirrels communicate with cach other as humans do.
B.Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.
C.Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels.
D.Birds such as chickadees don’t have their own language.

In Wiltshire, England, volunteers are being sought to visit a nature protection area to count the butterflies living there and on surrounding fields. The project is promoted by all environmental protection organization, which has contributed to improving the living environment for wild animals. Recently, the organization has issued an appeal to help it observe environmental changes based on the record of butterflies and protect the environment.
In the area, the local people have planted many special flowers with the help of the organization, aiming to see whether these flowers will interest the rare and beautiful butterflies. The project officer Sarah Marshall says,“It will be a suitable habitat (栖息地) for butterflies. They are great‘indicator species’ as they are easily affected by climate changes so they make a brilliant early-warning system for the environment.” She also points out that volunteers are needed to record the number or species of butterflies, and based on the change happening to the butterflies, the hidden environmental problems in the area can be found out in time.
The organization is seeking volunteers to help monitor butterflies from April through to September. They will walk a fixed route and record the different butterflies they encounter along the way. Each visit should take no more than two hours, and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to count the wildlife. “Staff will provide back up, so if the weather is poor on the day you are to visit (butterflies don’t like to fly in the rain, wind or if it’s too cloudy) we can have someone else do your job,” Sarah points out.
No previous experience is necessary as training and support will be provided, but a keen interest is essential. If you are interested please contact Sarah on (01380) 725670, ext 278, email—sarahm @ wiltshirewildlife. org.

Believe it or not, oceans and seas are easy to be harmed by the development of human society. They are also influenced by man-made pollution easily. It is human beings that do great harm to the ocean ecosystems(生态系统).
The coral reefs(珊瑚礁)are fine ecosystems that provide food and protection for many ocean creatures. The coral in almost all of the oceans is in danger from pollution.Chemicals from factories end up in the seas and oceans and destroy coral reefs. If the coral systems die some ocean creatures will be sure to die out.
Protecting the ocean also has something to do with the protection of ocean wildlife like dolphins. The fishing industry depends on modern ways to catch many fish in order to earn more money. But the nets for fishing also seize other sea animals. The fishing boat workers are advised to check their nets and set other ocean animals free. But the boats are in a hurry to make money and often other ocean animals are caught with fish.
Offshore oil spills(近海石油泄露) can destroy the ocean environment because oil kills all ocean life. The world depends on oil and because there is a great amount of oil off the shore of many countries, the need for oil is more important than the risk of the oil spill. However, the fact is that one human mistake can lead to an ocean environmental accident that will cause years of damage to the fine ocean ecosystems. Oil spills will kill all the creatures in the area of the spill. The oil will be washed up on shore and destroy the ecosystems along the shore including birds.
Everyone who cares about the environment should be interested in protecting the ocean, and all of us should do something for the protection of the ocean.
小题1:According to the passage, the ocean is harmed easily as a result of      .
A.the overuse of the oceans
B.the change of natural conditions
C.the increase of population by the sea
D.the increasing activities of humans
小题2:What does the second paragraph mainly tell readers?
A.How ocean creatures depend on coral reefs.
B.Coral reefs are home to ocean animals.
C.The great harm caused by factory pollution.
D.The importance of protecting coral systems.
小题3:The underlined work “seize” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced with“      ”.
A.catchB.attractC.placeD.cover
小题4:Why do people continue to get oil in the sea at the risk of oil spills?
A.Because they believe the oil spill can be stopped.
B.Because there is a large amount of oil in the sea.
C.Because they are in great need of oil.
D.Because getting oil in sea is easier than on land.

Many ESL (English as a Second Language) students in the United States enroll in (注册学习) academic preparation programs and are in their late teens or early twenties. This is often a time when students are looking back on childhood in a different way. Their childhood memories and their viewpoint on those memories can be very useful for the production of wonderfully creative writing.
For this project, the students began in class by closing their eyes and trying to return to their childhood years in order to bring early memories to their mind. After imagining for a few minutes, they began to tell each other what they remembered about those years and tried to describe a particular incident that stood out in their memories.
That evening they wrote in their journals about the incident, embellishing (润饰) the story as much as possible. The next day, they read the story to a different partner and got feedback (反馈意见). The partner’s job was to: ask more questions to bring back the writer’s memory; help the writer make sure that past tense verbs were used correctly, focusing on the difference between those things that were still true and needed present tense and those things that belonged specifically to the past. Two days later, students made necessary changes or additions and turned in a typed copy of their story. I then made my own comments about their work and asked them to revise their work. The third draft (稿子) produced some very good work.
小题1:The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _____.
A.show readers the difficulty he had in his work
B.explain his idea of English learning
C.show readers how ESL students live and study
D. tell readers how he taught his ESL students to write
小题2:What did the author ask his students to write about?
A.What they saw around them.
B.Their predictions for the future.
C.Their childhood memories.
D.Their opinions of the United States.
小题3:In what order do the students write their compositions according to the passage?
a. share their writing with their classmates
b. exchange their memories
c. write their stories
d. ask for others’ feedback
e.  make some changes to their compositions and have them typed
f.  corrected by the teacher

Since people first sent rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Some of them, like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spaceship. But much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart.
Some things we send into space fall back toward the earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So there is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm.
But space junk falling on housetops (屋顶) is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting (绕轨道飞行) the earth. Two big things become many smaller things. They then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.
So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet? Marco Castronuovo, an Italian researcher, talks about sending a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere.
Mr. Castronuovo has proposed (提议) using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite would jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.
Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean-up have been too great. Mr. Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.
小题1:Much of the space junk _____.
A.was thrown by the astronauts
B.is from broken spaceship
C.is made up of small pieces of things
D.returns to the earth piece by piece
小题2:Scientists are most worried that the space junk _____.
A.will stop the future space vehicles
B.will do harm to the atmosphere
C.will fall on the housetops
D.will burn up in space
小题3:What does Marco Castronuovo think of his system?
A.It can remove space junk completely.
B.It can save a large amount of money.
C.It can create a large amount of space.
D.It can develop robotic technology.
