[1]One Friday night in May 2010, Oliver and Ione Kleven heard angry shouts coming from their front lawn(草坪). Ione, 65, stepped onto the porch(门廊) and saw two men in dark clothes struggling with something on the ground—right where she and her grandson had planted a flower bed the weekend before.
[2] “Go fight somewhere else!” she shouted, worried her plants would getdamaged. At the sound of her voice, the face of a boy appeared from beneath the two men. He looked 14. “They’re trying to kill me!” the boy screamed. Ione ran toward them and, without hesitation, caught the boy’s arm, pulling him out.
[3] “Leave him alone!” she shouted. When the men stood up, Ione saw what looked like a sharp object in one man’s hand. When she turned back toward the boy, he was moaning(呻吟) in pain and holding his stomach. The attackers began to move in on the boy again when Ione’s husband shouted: “Get lost!” The two men walked quickly and quietly across the street and drove off in a dark car.
[4]“I have to get to the hospital!” the boy cried. He lifted his shirt, and Ione could see a bloody wound on his stomach. Oliver hugged the trembling(发抖的) boy while Ione caught her cell phone and car keys inside the house. She handed the phone to Oliver. “Call 911,” she told him. “I’m going after them.” Ione took off but was unable to find the car.
[5]The Klevens then learned what had happened. Earlier that night, as the boy waited for his parents to pick him up from the high school across the street from the Klevens’ house, two men approached and demanded his wallet. When he refused, one of the men hit him in the face. The boy ran across the street. The men caught up with him, and one hurt him in the back and stomach with a sharp knife. That’s when Ione stepped in.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones . They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably."
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

Empathy
【1】Last year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people,among college students had dropped sharply over the past 1 0 years.That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time,the researchers said.Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
【2】Jennifer Freed,a co—director of a teen program,has another explanation.Turn on the TV,and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting,competing,and generally treating one another with no respect. Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
【3】There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples.Humans are socially related by nature.Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect.Besides,empathy can be a cure for loneliness,sadness,anxiety,and fear.
【4】Empathy is also an indication of a good leader.In fact,Freed says,many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things that they look for in new managers.Good social skills-including emoathy-are essential abilities that will help you succeed in many areas of life."Academics are important.But if you don’t have emotional intelligence,you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,”she says.
【5】____?For starters,let down your guard and really listen to others.“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,”Freed says.
【6】To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital,join a club or a team that has a diverse membership,have a“sharing circle’’with your family,or spend time caring for pets at all animal shelter.

Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. Your active vocabulary contains the words you understand and use in speech and in print, and your passive vocabulary includes the words you do not use but understand. Although children learn more new words than adults, the vocabulary of an adult is not fixed and can be increased. Improve your language repertoire (全部技能) with daily exposure to new words, their pronunciations and meanings.
________. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow. Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.
Find a new word every day. If you do not encounter an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.
Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word you encounter. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.
Explain the meaning of the word so that you can connect it to something memorable. Use imagery and personal relevance(关联). If you have just learned that the word “obstinate” means stubborn and unyielding, think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as obstinate in his refusal.
Use your new word in speech and in writing. Tell a friend about your boss obstinately refusing to reschedule your vacation time. E-mail your sister about how your cat is obstinate about sleeping on your pillow. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem clumsy and forced, but the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.
Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is, or to ask for the definition of a new word you have used. The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about? (no more than 6 words)
_______________________________________________________________
小题2:What should we do if there is no unfamiliar word in our daily reading? (no more than 7 words)
________________________________________________________________
小题3:What’s the purpose of the example of the word “obstinate”( no more than 15 words)
___________________________________________________________________

Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friend, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us.
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to (沉溺于) it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda(心思,计谋), and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they’re more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed(强加) from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value system of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.
(Note: Answer the questions in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)
小题1:What happens to people if they care too much for the approval of others?
小题2:The price of the approval of others is ______________
小题3:Why is it unreliable for us to live by the opinions of others?
小题4:What’s the main idea of this article?

[1]While the Amazon may seem far away, we are all closely connected to it through our actions. Now there are largely the results of great demand for forest products and agriculture land, which makes its plant and animal species in danger. Fortunately, we can help save the Amazon rainforest by making the right choices in our daily lives. By being smart consumers, we can make a difference and help reduce human pressures on the forests and rivers.
[2]Look for forest products that you don’t need to destroy forests to get. We can choose many rainforest products like Brazil nuts and coffee, which can be got without destroying forests. And at the same time the money you provide can help local people to _______________.
[3]Recycle everything possible. Such items as batteries, cloth, glass, paper in our daily life can be recycled with different techniques. For example, the collected glass pieces are taken to a glass recycling factory where they are made into new glass bottles through a series of processing.
[4]Buy the right pets. Many wild animals are illegally caught in the Amazon and sold as pets and large numbers of these animals die in the process. It’s important to ask where the animal comes from and to require a store to give you proof when you decide to buy a pet.

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意各小题后面的词数要求)。
(1) According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person's message.Intonation(语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal (not using or involving words) cues (暗看专)transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.
(2) Gestures make up a major form of nonverbal communication.  But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite.  Also, Americans often indicate "OK" with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means"money" to the  Japanese and "zero" to the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use  gestures with caution.
(3) Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about—space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated(有义务的) to apologize.  But the size of a person's "comfort zone" varies, depending on his culture or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead,________ and touch each other often.
(4) Considering the effects of nonverbal communcation, we never rea11y stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others.  That's why it’s possible to "read someone like a book. "
小题1:Why do we pay more attention to nonverbal cues in a foreign country? (no more than 10 words)

小题2:What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? (no more than 3 words)
