    In February 2006, Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada. The sound of children shouting made her turn around. To her horror, Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son. Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away. She then began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could. A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear. But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her children’s lives. A local policeman described it this way: “… I guess when your back is up against the wall, … we come up with super-human strength.”
    Where does this “super-human strength”, courage and quick thinking come from? Experts say it comes from stress! In stressful situations, the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action. These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run away from it.
    When we think of stress, we usually think of its negative effects. Studies, though, show that moderate levels of stress are actually helpful. In fact, the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel.
    Stress causes the brain to release adrenaline(肾上腺素) which in turn increases our energy and excitement. The chemical gives us clearer minds and helps us to do more. This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.
    Adrenaline that is not released for long periods of time can cause us to increase and strengthen our abilities instead of weakening them. We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit. Stress can also make us more confident. Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future. Who knows? Today’s stress may even prepare for the next polar bear that comes along!
    小题1:In the first paragraph, the case of Lydia Angyiou is mentioned to______.
    A．introduce the topic to be followed
    B．remind us of the unexpected danger of life
    C．praise Lydia Angyiou for her bravery
    D．show the importance of super-human strength
    小题2:What does the policeman probably mean by saying “your back is up against the wall”?
    A．You are helped.B．You are inspired.
    C． You are confident.D．You are cornered.
    小题3:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Brave MotherB．The Cause of Stress
    C．The Benefit of StressD．Super-human Strength

    “Three? Two?” The students  47 restlessly(不安地) in their seats.
    “One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained   48 .
    The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   49 ,” he said. “I just want you to  50 you that, even although you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   51 you don’t know.

    He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth £100 million. But hard-working Owens can stop for at least a moment's celebration after making his first £1 million at the age of 16. Owens, who has used a computer since the age of seven, began teaching himself basic web design at the age of ten when he was given his first Mac computer. He used his pocket money to fund his first business project, website Mac Box Bundle at just 14 which has made £700,000 since its establishment in 2008. Mac Box Bundle sells a combination of popular Mac applications which are worth up to $400 together for under just $100 and donates 10 percent of the money to charities.
    He then established an advertising company Branchr a year later and worked on the business after school and at weekends. Branchr made a surprising £500,000 in its first year. Branchr works as a platform for website owners to sell advertising.
    Owens, from Northampton, currently employs eight staff---all adults---around the UK and America as sales and technical assistants. The young man lives with his parents. His mother who is a company secretary said he was inspired to go into business after observing the huge success achieved by Apple's chief executive officers(首席执行官) Steve Jobs.

There is no magical formula(法则) for business, It takes hard work, determination and the drive to do something great. My aim is to become a leading name in the world of Internet and mobile advertising and push myself right to the top of the game.
    The teenager insists his professional success has not affected his personal life, and says his interests include photography and playing the guitar. "My friends and I don't really talk about my success. To them I'm just a normal teenager and it doesn't change anything between us."

    When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was   36 , and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my   37 . His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re   38  my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in   39  ……”
    He didn’t finish the   40 , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was   41 . He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.
    Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade   42  because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being   43  in the future. And every time I tell this story some people agree with this   44 .
    But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my   45  in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to   46  an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest   47  of his knowledge and it would have been   48 to other students. How could I   49  give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
    I know  50  reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like   51  too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up  52_ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is  _53 enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
    Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did   54  him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have _55
    him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

    For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!
    The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, "I'm singing in the rain", a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.
    Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.
    If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.
    小题1: The author felt depressed because she __________.
    A．couldn't consume her waking hour
    B．had not seen a film for a long time.
    C．had not finished her work on time
    D．had worked on a hard job for too long
    小题2:The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to__________.
    A．take photosB．find a solution to the project
    C．hop along the pathD．cheer herself up
    小题3: The underlined part "to no avail" in Paragraph 1 probably means " __________.".
    A．unsuccessfulB．unrelatedC．uninterestingD．unexpected
    小题4:In the author's opinion, __________.
    A．a bath can make people relaxed
    B．depression is usually caused by hard work
    C．walking in a busy city centre harms people's health
    D．adults should express their inner feelings freely
    小题5:The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) __________.
    A．explanationB．suggestionC．introductionD．reminder

    While firing off pictures of a curious five-month-old fox, photographer Simon Czapp soon realized his subject had quite an interest in photography herself. The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed right on top of it. And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot, the fox stood on the shutter release button (快门按钮) and took her own frames.
    Mr Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie. She has been at the animal park in Ashurst, Hampshire — home to wolves, deer and other animals in 25 acres of ancient woodland — after being abandoned by her mother.
    Mr Czapp said, “Jessie was very playful and curious and not at all camera shy. Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her. Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod (三脚架). She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over.”
    He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up. At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance. Mr Czapp added, “She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture. As I was leaving with the public’s viewing window behind me, I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it. But when I checked the memory card afterwards, I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two pictures of me photographing her. I couldn’t believe a fox had gained an advantage over me! Jessie is a lovely little fox. There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too!”
    小题1:The underlined word “frames” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.
    A．photographersB．picturesC．buttonsD．advantages
    小题2:What do we know about Jessie from the passage?
    A．She arrived at the park five months ago.
    B．She lives at the park together with some other foxes.
    C．She was sent to the park because her mother left her.
    D．She loved the life in the park so much that she left her mother.
    小题3:What is the RIGHT time order of the following steps in Jessie taking a photo?
    a. Jessie pressed the shutter release button.
    b. Mr Czapp left the camera to take a photo.
    c. Jessie climbed onto the camera and balanced herself.
    d. Mr Czapp set up his camera on a tripod.
    e. Jessie stood up to look at the back of the camera.
    A．d, e, c, b, aB．a, b, c, d, eC．c, b, e, a, dD．d, e, b, c, a
    小题4:From the passage we can infer that __________.
    A．foxes are better at photographing than men
    B．some foxes are more friendly than humans
    C．Mr Czapp and Jessie took photos for each other
    D．Jessie gained an advantage over Mr Czapp in photographing
