    Without any hesitation,he said,“I’d be better off dead.” Hearing those words come out of my best friend’s mouth tore my heart apart.He has repeated that phrase more than once,and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording.

    I met my best friend about three years ago.After knowing me for six months,he told me about his struggles with depression.Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked.He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time.I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child,causing him to have suicidal(自杀的)thoughts.

    He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults,especially those in his family.In spite of this,he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak.Thus,when it comes to helping him,convenience is not in my vocabulary.It does not matter where I am or what I am doing,for he takes priority.Sometimes he just needs the assurance of my voice telling him that everything is going to be okay and that I will not let him down.

    Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice the scars on his arms from cutting.It seems that other kids have every right to make fun of him and to look down on him.But no one holds such a right,so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly.When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices,I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally.Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.

    My best friend once told me that if he had not had me,he would not be alive.He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take the way out(轻生).Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can impact on someone’s life.With the fragility of life as it is,I believe in the necessity of encouragement.

    1.According to Paragraph 1,hearing his friend’s words,the author felt .

    A.puzzled B.painful

    A.The author hardly spares time to help his friend.

    When you are travelling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?

    You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.

    Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!

    The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.

    1.To a foreigner, the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting a ________．

    A. motorbike B. car C. taxi D. bike

    2.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?

    A. To make sure there is a meter in it.

    B. To take a taxi parked outside hotels.

    C. To take a taxi going on the road.

    D. To bargain with the driver over the price.

    3.It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.

    A. there were too many traffic jams on the roads

    B. the signs were written only in their own language

    C. there were no signs at the farthest corners

    D. the quality of the roads was not good

    Rebecca, who is a 25-year-old woman, has a rare condition. She can remember all the events she has experienced in her life. The events are so vivid, as if they happened just moments ago. But her vivid memories often become a reality. Rebecca said, “When I relive memories, the emotions come back. So if it’s something that happened when I was younger, my emotions are about what I felt then. I also re-experience pain. For example, I remember falling over and hurting my left knee when I was three. When talking about it now, I’m getting pain in my left knee.”

    However, there are times when Rebecca’s memories prove to be too overwhelming, and she has learnt relaxation and mindfulness(聚神) techniques to solve. “At school, it is a hindrance. I’m not very quick at processing things, so there is always so much going through my mind. At night, I have to sleep with the radio on and a soft light. If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind just recalls all these memories and I can’t sleep,” Rebecca said.

    In addition, Rebecca has no control over whether the memories she recalls will be positive or negative – recalling painful experiences with such vividness that she has suffered from post-traumatic (创伤后的) stress disorder. Rebecca said, “Recently, I went back to my old school for my sister’s high school graduation. Being in that building again brought all those memories flooding back. I burst into tears and had to leave.”

    Rebecca and her mother Mrs. Barnes got in touch with the University of California in 2011. It was there that Rebecca knew she had Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). It’s reported that Rebecca is one of just 80 people worldwide, who have HASM. “Finding out about HASM has been such a positive experience. Now, Rebecca has been more positive and able to do things independently, which has been excellent,” Mrs. Barnes said.

    1.What’s wrong with Rebecca?

    A. She hardly sleeps well at night.

    B. She usually gets hurt easily by others.

    C. She can’t distinguish between reality and dreams.

    D. Her vivid memories lead her to experience sufferings.

    2.What does the underlined word “hindrance” mean in Paragraph 2?

    A. Priority B. Difficulty.

    C. Advantage. D. Opportunity.

    3.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

    A. Rebecca had a strong dislike of going to school.

    B. Rebecca was moved to tears at her sister’s graduation.

    C. Rebecca and her sister once studied in the same school.

    D. Rebecca enjoyed a happy life during her high school years.

    4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Rebecca_____.

    A. has got her life improved gradually

    B. was influenced by her mother to be positive

    C. was admitted into the University of California

    D. became well-known due to her rare condition

    For a long time, the traditional method of identifying liars was to watch their body language, including facial expressions.

    What if the person appears to be nervous? Is the person unable to look me in the eye? Is he or she look around the room? What about other nervous movements, such as fidgeting（坐立不安）or shifting from side to side? Many people—from parents to police officers and airport security personnel—depend on this method. But does a person’s body and face reveal the truth? Not according to a new study.

    Talking, it seems, is the best way to smoke out a liar. That is what researchers in the United Kingdom found out recently. Their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble—an airport.

    The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security agents. Some of the agents used spoke conversation-based methods to question these make-believe passengers. Others depended instead on the person’s body language, like lack of eye contact and showing signs of nervousness. The agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars. The study found that these conversation-based techniques can help you recognize when a person is lying to you. Like many methods, this conversation method has a name. It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE, for short.

    The British government partly financed this study. The American Psychological (APA) published the findings. Body language cannot be trusted. Using body language and facial expressions to catch someone in a lie is really hard. And it only works, seemingly, by chance.

    Thomas Ormerod is the head of the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex in England. On the APA website, he reported that the “suspicious-signs method”—or using body language—“almost completely fails” in finding lies.

    1.What are the questions in Paragraph 2 intended to do?

    A. Show traditional ways to recognize a liar.

    B. Launch a survey among readers.

    C. Show the writer’s puzzlement.

    D. Invite the readers to think twice.

    2.What should volunteers in the investigation do?

    A. Answer questions only using words.

    B. Pretend to be airport security agents.

    C. Act as passengers as researchers required.

    D. Communicate with researchers by talking.

    3.Which would be the best way to find out a liar according to the study?

    A. Looking him in the eye.

    B. Asking open-ended questions.

    C. Making use of body language.

    D. Observing his facial expression.

    4.What will the author continue to talk about based on the passage?

    A. Misunderstandings of catching a liar.

    B. The “suspicious-signs” method.

    C. How the CCE method works.

    D. The new concept of CCE.

    KING LEAR Part 3

    NARRATOR: As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father, she begins treating him disrespectfully. When Lear wants to speak to her, Goneril tells her servant, Oswald, to say she is sick. She encourages her staff to be disrespectful towards Lear and begins complaining about the hundred soldiers Lear has brought with him. However, King Lear soon has a friend by his side. The Duke of Kent, who Lear ordered to leave Britain, cannot abandon his king. He therefore comes to Lear disguised as a servant called Caius and asks for a job.

    (Enter Lear, several of Lear's soldiers and Kent disguised as a servant.)

    LEAR: OK, Caius. I'll give you a trial. And if you prove to be good at your job, I'll keep you on as my servant. (Oswald enters.) Hey, you there. Where's my daughter? (Oswald ignores the king and hurries out of the room.) Hey. What's going on? Call him back. Is he deaf? (A Soldier rushes out after Oswald.) It's as though the whole world has gone to sleep. (Soldier reenters.) Where's that servant? Why didn’t he come back when I called?

    SOLDIER: Sir, he answered me very rudely and said he would not come back.

    LEAR: I don’t believe it!

    SOLDIER: Sir, I am sorry, to tell you this, but it seems to me that you are not being treated with the respect due to a king. Everyone here, including your daughter, is behaving very coldly towards you.

    LEAR: Mmm. I suspected the same, but I kept telling myself it was my imagination. Please tell my daughter I wish to speak with her. (Soldier bows and leaves. Oswald enters.) Ah, come here my man and answer me. Who am I?

    OSWALD: My lady's father.

    LEAR: Your lady's father? Is that all I am to you, you dog, you slave! (Lear raises his arm as though to strike Oswald.)

    OSWALD: I'll not be hit, my Lord.

    KENT: (Kent kicks Oswald's feet out from under him.) And you won't be laid flat on your back either, I suppose. Now get up and get out of here. (Oswald leaves.)

    LEAR: My thanks, Caius. I can see you will be a most valuable servant.

    (Enter Goneril.) What's up, daughter? You always seem to be frowning lately.

    GONERIL: Is it any wonder that I frown when your soldiers are continually drinking and fighting? I thought when I told you about their behaviour you would make them behave, but now I hear you have insulted Oswald. I do believe you are encouraging your soldiers in their bad behaviour.

    LEAR: Is this my daughter scolding me?

    GONERIL: I have had enough of your soldiers. They are expensive to keep and you don't need them. Besides, their drunken behaviour and bad manners are disgusting. You will send half of them away. And unless you want me to get rid of the rest of them too, I suggest you teach them how to behave properly.

    LEAR:That's a lie. My soldiers are good men who know how to behave properly. I won't stay here to be insulted. I still have one more daughter. She'll scratch out your eyes when she hears how you've treated me. Men! Get my horses ready and collect my baggage. I'll leave immediately. I won't stay where I'm not welcome. (Lear and companions leave.)

    NARRATOR: Lear sends Kent on ahead to the castle of his other daughter, Regan, to tell her that he will soon be arriving. Goneril sends her servant Oswald to Regan to tell her side of the story.

    1.Why did the Duke of Kent disguise himself as a servant?

    A. To find a chance to meet Goneril.

    B. To share some of the king’s wealth.

    C. To find a job in the court.

    D. To serve and help his king— Lear.

    2.From the passage, what is the relationship between Goneril and Regan?

    A. Sisters. B. Couple.

    C. Sister and Brother. D. Brothers.

    3. Which of the following best describe the character of King Lear in this passage?

    A. A wise king and father.

    B. A cold-hearted father.

    C. A cruel and selfish king.

    D. A stupid and a bit stubborn man.

    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选项。

    Testing the five-second rule

    You may have seen a friend drop food on the floor, pick it up, and eat it, while declaring, “Five-second rule! ” It’s said that food dropped on the floor for five seconds or less is still likely to be clean. 1. .

    Students at Britain’s Aston University, led by microbiology professor Anthony Hilton, tested the rule and found it to have some scientific basis. The study’s results show that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria than if it sits there for longer, according to Hilton.

    The students also found that the type of flooring where the dropped food lands has an effect. 2. Bacteria are most likely to transfer from tiled (铺瓷砖的) surfaces to moist food when the food has stood there for more than five seconds.

    3. Therefore, consumers should still be cautious. “However, the findings of this study will bring some light relief to those who have been employing the five-second rule for years, despite a general consensus that it is purely a myth,” professor Hilton said in a statement.

    The research team at Aston also surveyed 500 people to find out who employs the five-second rule. Of the people surveyed, 87% said they would eat food dropped on the floor, or have done so in the past. 4. “Our study showed people are also more likely to follow the five-second rule, which our research has shown to be much more than an old wives’ tale,” Hilton says.

    Still, scientists say you should be careful about eating food dropped on the floor, especially if you have doubts about the cleanliness of the surface. 5.

    A. But is that true?

    B. Carpeted surfaces posed the lowest risk.

    C. Of those people, the majority were women.

    D. We’ve just lost our last excuse to eat food off the floor.

    E. Usually people recover from the infection in five to ten days.

    F. There is still a risk of infection if certain bacteria are present on the dropped surface.

    G. A biologist points out that one in six Americans get sick from food poisoning every year.
