    One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books. I thought to myself, “  36 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 37 .”
    As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,   38 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went  39 and landed in the grass.
    My  40 went out to him. So, I ran over to him.   41 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
    I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it  42 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
    Kyle was the  43 student of our class, one of those guys that really found  44 during high school. Therefore he had the honor to prepare a  45 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was  46 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be  47 !” He looked at me and smiled.
    He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to  48 those who helped you make it through those  49 years. Your parents, your teachers…but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  50 you can give him.”
    I just looked at my friend with  51 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to  52 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend  53 me from doing the unspeakable(不能说出来的).”
    Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the  54 of your actions. With one small gesture you can  55 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

    Mars Was Not Always Bitterly Cold
    Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have reported evidence that Mars was warmer and wetter long ago than it is today.  The Caltech scientists say they have directly established the temperature of Mars four billion years ago. At least, they established the surface temperature on part of the planet at that time. The researchers say it is the first such evidence to be discovered and presented.
    The Caltech scientists say carbonate（碳酸盐） minerals formed on Mars at about eighteen degrees Celsius. They reached the finding after studying a meteorite（陨石） that had its beginnings near the Martian surface.
    Today, the average temperature on Mars is sixty-three degrees below zero Celsius.
    The finding was reported on the website of the National Academy of Sciences. Caltech Assistant Professor Woody Fischer helped to prepare the report. He says eighteen degrees Celsius is not especially cold or hot. He says this makes the finding extremely interesting. Knowing the temperature can give scientists an idea of the climate on Mars long ago. It can also help them decide whether the planet had liquid water. Spacecraft orbiting Mars have shown what appear to be rivers, lakebeds and mineral deposits. These pictures suggest that, at one time, water did flow there. Mars Rover vehicles and other spacecraft have confirmed the information.
    Caltech Geology Professor John Eiler was another writer of the report. He says knowing the temperature of Mars from long ago provides valuable information. It shows that early in the planet's history, at least part of Mars could support a climate like that of Earth.
    The meteorite the scientists examined is one of the oldest known rocks in the world. It is called the Allan Hills meteorite. Its name came from the place in Antarctica where it was found in 1984. The meteorite is believed to have blown loose from the Mars' surface when another space rock struck its "home."
    小题1: The underlined word “establish” in Paragraph 1 probably means “___________”.
    A．to set up
    B．to make people accept a belief
    C．to discover or prove
    D．to start having a relationship with others
    小题2:How did the scientists reach the finding?
    A．By studying Allan Hills meteorite.
    B．By using spacecraft orbiting Mars.
    C．By studying minerals gathered on Mars
    D．By studying a meteorite on the Martian surface.
    小题3:According to the fourth paragraph, what have spacecraft orbiting Mars done?
    A．Measuring the temperature of Mars.
    B．Taking photos of the surface of Mars.
    C．Confirming that there is water flowing on Mars.
    D．Finding where human beings will probably land on Mars.
    小题4:How did Allan Hills meteorite get its name?
    A．From its original place on Mars.
    B．From where it was found on the earth.
    C．From the name of the scientist who found it.
    D．From the name of the aircraft that discovered it
    小题5: Where can we most probably read this passage?
    A．In a biography of scientists.
    B．In a geography magazine.
    C．In an environment report.
    D．In a science report.

    Here are six steps to better studying.
    Pay attention in class
    Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention.
    Take good notes
    Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It’s a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject.
    Plan ahead for tests and projects
    Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn’t happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.
    Break it up
    When there’s a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Let’s say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night.
    Ask for help
    You can’t study effectively if you don’t understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you’re at home when the confusion occurs, your morn or dad might be able to help.
    Sleep tight
    So the test is tomorrow and you’ve followed your study plan—but suddenly you can’t remember anything! Don’t panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.
    小题1:We know from the passage that a loud person is       .
    A．a student who always answers questions loudly in class
    B．someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voice
    C．a student who likes speaking with others in class
    D．a person who makes a lot of noise in public places
    小题2:According to the author, which of the following is an effective studying method?
    A．Don’t try to review everything you have learned in one go.
    B．Try to review what you’ve learned in one go.
    C．To read all your notes the night before the test.
    D．Try to remember everything on the first try.
    小题3:If you don’t understand what you have learnt, you can       .
    A．read your notes over and over again
    B．turn to people around you for help
    C．put aside the material for later review
    D．ask your teacher to explain it the next day
    小题4:By saying “Sleep tight”, what does the author mean?
    A．Sleep again after waking up.
    B．Sleep holding your breath deep.
    C．Get a good night’s sleep.
    D．Go to sleep early every night.

    About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our “act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
    We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
    The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water’s edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees(棕榈树), sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
    Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!
    小题1:Who is the author?
    A．A cameraman.
    B．A film director.
    C．A crowd-scene actor.
    D．A workman for scene setting.
    小题2:What made the author feel cold?
    A．The heavy snowfall.
    B．The man-made scene.
    C．The low temperature.
    D．The film being shown.
    小题3: What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned in the last paragraph?
    A．A new scene would be filmed.
    B．More stars would act in the film.
    C．The author would leave the studio.
    D．The next scene would be prepared.

    When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead.
    One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead—take me away” when it is dead.
    But there's a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “Wait—I'm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.
    To test his theory , Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “I'm dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “Wait—I'm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.
    Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.
    小题1:What is the function of the first paragraph?
    A．Leading the following paragraphs.
    B．Showing the main idea of the passage.
    C．Introducing the background of the passage.
    D．Giving a summary of the passage.
    小题2:Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?
    A．is weaker thanB．is stronger thanC．is better thanD．is worse than
    小题3: What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.
    B．When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.
    C．A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.
    D．Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.
    小题4:Which of the following descriptions about Dong-Hwan Choe is right?
    A．Choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.
    B．Choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.
    C．Choe first came up with an idea to explain this ant behavior，and then did some tests to prove his theory.
    D．Choe did the research on this ant behavior on his own

    Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs , teachers find students’ posture(姿势) and attention improve.
    Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey(调查) of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
    The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan,” says Witt, “ Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter（直的）. You can slouch(低头垂肩地坐)on a ball,” says Witt, “but it feels bad.” Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen( 氧气) to the brain , so the kids have more energy and can pay attention longer.
    “Besides, they’re fun.” says Pownall.
    小题1:What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will_________.
    A．pay more attention to his lessonsB．be fun
    C．like to move aroundD．sit up straighter
    小题2:How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?
    A．About four years.B．Only one year.
    C．In 2008.D．Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.
    小题3:In how many countries are the balls used as the students’ chairs?
    A．Four.B．Three.C．Two.D．One.
    小题4:Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids _________.
    A．improve the students’ posture and attention
    B．slouch on the chairs
    C．have fun
    D．Both A and C are correct answers
    小题5:Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?
    A．Sitting on a chair.B．Sitting on a ball.
    C．They are the same.D．We don’t know.

    Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
    Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
    People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
    Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
    The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
    Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.
    The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
    Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
    Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
    小题1:Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
    A．Places where people lived.
    B．People’s characters.
    C．Talents that people possessed.
    D．People’s occupations.
    小题2:According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.
    A．owned or drove a cart
    B．made things with metals
    C．made kitchen tools or contains
    D．built houses and furniture
    小题3:Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
    A．Beatrice SmithB．Leonard Carter
    C．George LongstreetD．Donald Greenwood
    小题4:The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.
    A．later generationsB．friends and relatives
    C．colleagues and partnersD．later sponsors

    One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be distracted (分心) by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
    Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
    As technology makes our world smaller and smaller, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.
    In my own life, I used to put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn with experience is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.
    小题1:The author considers it very important ______.
    A．to drive with a companionB．to have personal independence
    C．to gain certain responsibilityD．to share trust and cooperation
    小题2:The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because ______.
    A．the approaching car was very dangerous
    B．they both drove their car at a terrific speed
    C．he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving
    D．it was dark and the road was not wide enough
    小题3: From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.
    A．only one experienceB．many similar experiences
    C．a driver on a dark road D．many friends and strangers
    小题4:The need for cooperation increases because ______.
    A．people’s fates can’t be controlled by themselves
    B．certain viruses can spread in a quick way
    C．terrorism can happen everywhere and every day
    D．the world has become much more dangerous
    小题5:We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.
    A．believed in one’s own personal responsibility
    B．counted upon himself alone in everything
    C．had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment
    D．had a change on his viewpoint of life

    On the first day of the new term, I met my new headmaster at the school gate. “Follow me, please!” he said. He had a quiet, kind voice. He took me into my new classroom and left. In front of me, thirty pairs of eyes looked at me. I knew he had told the students that I was blind. I could almost feel the question behind their eyes: Blind? I felt the answer too: If she’s blind, this should be good! I heard quiet voices in a corner of the classroom. For a moment, I felt afraid. I knew at once that I had to be strong.
    “Class,” I said as loudly as I could. “I may be blind. But I am not foolish. Take those naughty smiles off your faces, and stop talking, please!” Of course, I could not see their faces; I just guessed that some of them were smiling. The class were quiet. They were very surprised. I knew that I had done the right thing.
    As the days went by, the students had more surprises. I could smell when the children were eating sweets. I could easily hear combs going through hair, students passing messages, and so on. Once I found a girl passing a message to a friend. I took the message to the teachers’ room. A teacher read it to me. On one side it said, “Do you think she can see?” on the other it said, “I think so. She always knows what we’re doing.”
    Soon the students stopped being naughty, and started to work hard. Before long, they brought in photos of their families for me to look at; I knew then they were my friends. I also knew they had forgotten that I could not see.
    小题1:In Paragraph(段) 1 the writer said she must be strong because        .
    A．she was too weak
    B．the students laughed at her
    C．the headmaster left her alone

    小题2:The students were surprised for the first time because          .
    A．the teacher seemed to know everything
    B．the teacher caught them smiling

    小题3:In the new teacher’s class the students often          .
    A．exchanged sweetsB．combed their hair
    C．wrote lettersD．read letters
