We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed.“I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   21 !” You’ve surely heard them.Maybe you’ve used them to describe   22 
These comments may come from stories about us that have been   23  for years—often from   24  childhood.These stories may have no   25  in fact.But they can set low expectations for us.As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations   26  my development? I was never   27  to work on cars or be around   28 .When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test.My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later,   29 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree.One of my professors, Dr.Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do.On the positive side, I   30   down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   31  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills.I explained my life   32  and told him about my   33  performance on the Army test.Bob then asked, “  34  is it that you can solve   35  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   36  from some sort of genetic defect.I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to   37 .At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   38  my belief that I was mechanically hopeless.And it wasn’t just the Army test, either.I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.  39  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   40  we choose.

                                     B
People come in all shapes and sizes,colors and races (种族). Some speak differently while others act differently.
My mother is in a wheelchair. I would like to say something about this special woman I call "Mommy".
My mom does what a mom needs to do every day. She picks me up from school,drives me to meetings,cooks dinner,and helps me with my homework. This is just part of what makes her great,though.
She is my best friend and can immediately notice when I am unhappy. She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand. Mommy makes me laugh when times are tough. I look forward to coming home because I know there is someone there who cares about what I have done.
Mommy has always tried to be like a "normal" mom. But I think my mother is a wonderful woman and she doesn’t need to change. She teaches me life lessons that no teacher or friend can. She shows me how to accept everyone for what is inside,rather than what is on the outside.
You may have realized that all the qualities (品质) I admire have nothing to do with what she looks like. Everyone could be the way she is,but most are not.
I want everyone to look beyond the surface and see what is inside others. You may fail to notice someone who is very special like my mom because you cannot accept their outside features.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red?  71  Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观者). At least, this is what psychologists(心理专家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.   72 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
 73  A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.  74  A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
  75 It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A.On the other hand, black is depressing.
B.They tells us that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up——we are born
with our preference.
C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.
D.If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys
life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G. Colors do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it .

It has been argued that an infant under three who is cared for outside the home may suffer because of the separation from his parents.The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar (留下疤痕) a child's personality and incline to emotional problems in later life.Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be sent to day care before the age of three, and many people do believe this.But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.
Firstly, anthropologists (人类学家) point out that the hidden love between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies.For example, we saw earlier that among the Ngonis the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone.But traditional societies are so different from modern societies that comparisons based on just one factor are hard to understand.
Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents and caretakers found that children had problems with it.But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects.The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be noticed by the use of statistics.Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.
Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have reported that day care had a neutral of slightly positive effect on children's development.But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
小题1:This passage is mainly talking about________.
A.children's personality
B.advantages of infants' early care
C.infants' education
D.negative effect of infant school
小题2:The phrase "day care   in the first paragraph probably means_____.
A.nursing schoolB.baby-sitter
C.boarding schoolD.primary school
小题3:According to Bowlby, children under the age of three______.
A.should not be sent to school
B.should be cared for outside the home
C.will not suffer fro m parental separation
D.don't mind who will look after them
小题4:The argument against Bowlby's conclusion shows that___.
A.children have problems with day care
B.there is no negative effect on infants who go to school before three
C.there is a long-term effect on infants who go to school before three
D.children who are sent to school before three are sent to mental illness

Moving to a new town or even a new neighborhood is stressful at any age, but a new study shows that frequent moves in childhood are related to poorer well-being(幸福) in adulthood, especially among people who are more introverted(内向的) or neurotic(神经症的).
The researchers tested the relationship between the number of childhood moves and well-being in a sample of 7108 American adults who were followed for 10 years.
“We know that children who move frequently are more likely to perform poorly in school and have more behavioral problems,” said the study’s lead author Shigehiro Oishi. “However, the long-term effects of moving on well-being in adulthood have been overlooked by researchers.”
The study’s participants, who were between the ages of 20 and 75, were contacted in 1994 and 1995 and were surveyed again 10 years later. They were asked how many times they had moved as children, as well as about their psychological well-being, personality type and social relationships.
The researchers found that the more times people moved as children, the more likely they were to report lower life satisfaction and psychological well-being at the time they were surveyed. The research also showed that those who moved frequently as children had fewer quality social relationships as adults.
The researchers also looked to see if different personality types affected frequent movers’ well-being. Among introverts, the more moves participants reported as children, the worse off they were as adults. “Moving a lot makes it difficult for people to keep long-term close relationships.” Said Oishi. “This might not be a serious problem for outgoing people who can make friends quickly and easily.”
The findings showed neurotic people who moved frequently reported less life satisfaction and poorer psychological well-being than people who did not move as much and people who were not neurotic. However, the number and quality of neurotic people’s relationships had no effect on their well-being, no matter how often they had moved as children. In the article, Oishi thinks this may be because neurotic people have more negative reactions to stressful life events in general.
“We can guess that moving often creates more stress,” Oishi said. “But we need more research on this link before we can conclude that moving often in childhood can, in fact, be dangerous to your health in the long-term.”
小题1:What can be learnt about the new study from the passage?
A.The participants were from all over the world.
B.It was carried out in two periods of time.
C.The participants were mostly old people.
D.The participants had poor health.

A.To show the relationship between moving and performance in school
B.To show the relationship between moving and well-being

小题3:According to Oishi,            .
A.moving a lot is a serious problem for outgoing people
B.moving probably makes some people feel worried and tense
C.moving frequently is likely to help people make more friends
D.moving often is dangerous to people’s health in the long-term
小题4:The fifth and sixth paragraphs mainly talk about             .
A.the process of the study
B.the results of the study
C.the importance of the study
D.the theory of the study
小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that           .
A.adults should take more care over their kids

There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy traffic.At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is really worldwide.On several occasions over the past decade,a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in distant areas away from any industrial cities.In fact,the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution.Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil)is creating a “greenhouse effect”—— keeping heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature.If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York,Boston,Miami,and New Orleans will be in water.
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age,and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen.Perhaps,if we are lucky enough,the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.Driven by economic profits, people ignore the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”.Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development.But is it really worth-while?
小题1:People used to think that air pollution_________ .
A.caused widespread damage in the countryside
B.affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C.had a very bad effect on health
D.existed merely in urban and industrial areas
小题2:As to the greenhouse effect, the author_________.
A.shares the same view with the scientists.
B.is uncertain of its occurrence
C.rejects it as being ungrounded
D.thinks that it will destroy the world soon
小题3:The underlined word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by_______.
A.counter-actB.break fromC.get alongD.communicate
小题4:This passage is primarily about________ .
A.the greenhouse effect
B.the burning of fossil fuels
C.the potential effect of air pollution
D.the possibility of a new ice age

The world is not coming to an end on December 21st, 2012, the US space agency announced to dispel (消除)widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.
The latest big screen 2012 was based on stories according to the Mayan calendar.It showed that by the end of 2012, a Planet X will collide (碰撞) with the earth.
Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet's existence, but the US space agency considered such stories as tricks."There is no basis in fact for these claims," NASA said in its website."If such a collision were real, scientists would have been tracking it for at least the last decade, and we would see it with our eyes now.Obviously, it doesn't exist and there will be no threat to the earth in 2012," it insisted."After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years," added NASA.
There is another planet, Eris, floating in space.But the small planet will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the earth, according to NASA.
And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our plant would be very little."And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the earth, big hits are very rare," NASA noted.The last major collision was believed to be 65 million years ago, resulting the end of dinosaurs (恐龙).
"We are sure that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs," the space agency said.
小题1:What played a key role in the spread of the rumors?
A.The Internet and the film 2012.B.The Mayan calendar.
C.The US space agency.D.The television screen.
小题2:The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _________.
A.the collisionB.the threatC.the Planet XD.the NASA website
小题3:We can conclude from the passage that __________.
A.the film 2012 is well accepted in the science field
B.scientists have been tracking Planet X for over ten years
C.the earth will exist for more than four billion years
D.the rumors caused a panic among some people
小题4:What do we know about Eris according to the passage?
A.It doesn't exist in the universe.
B.It won't threaten the earth.
C.It is too far to be seen.
D.It is similar to the earth.

Remember those big, colorful books with large pictures of balls or apples when you were a little kid? Those have proven to be helpful, according to a number of studies. Between 1 and 5 years old, introducing books to Children can help greatly because this is usually the age when intellectual (智力的) capabilities form.
At age 1 to 5, a child can decide whether he wants to learn or wants to be a good learner. The road to learning starts here. Their curiosity (好奇) and imagination are fed with the many pictures, sounds and colors in the books.
Children normally began school at 5 years old. But today, they go to school when they are as young as one and a half years old. This is because many parents have recognized that influencing the child's formative years (性格形成时期) is very important. The fight influence can make the child want to read in the future.
Parents should play a part in encouraging children to read. Even just reading them bedtime stories can help children feel the joy and amazement connected to reading. This can help them become better readers and better learners as they grow older.
If children are interested in reading books rather than watching television, they can improve many skills besides reading and learning. Books can act as stepping stones to intelligence. However, parents must be very careful not to overpower their children. If they force children to read books that are too hard to understand, they might think reading is boring and lose interest in it.
小题1:. This passage mainly ­­­______.
A.advises kids to spend less time watching TV
B.explains why reading is good for us
C.tells us that reading is good for children
D.suggests that parents spend more time with their kids
小题2:.Why does introducing books to kids between 1 and 5 years old help them greatly?
A.Because this is a good way to keep them away from television.
B.Because it makes them become interested in going to school.
C.Because it helps them learn much faster when they are older.
D.Because it is usually the age when intellectual capabilities form.
小题3:.It is implied in the passage that _____.
A.the writer read a lot of books when he was a child
B.parents should never force their children to do anything
C.the formative years may begin at one and a half years old
