    The two-week vacation at the end of summer school ended yesterday. Kevin had gone nowhere during his vacation. He had the money, but he hated to travel alone. He used to take vacations with Gary, his youngest brother, but they had a big argument at the end of their last vacation. Each of them had spent the last three years waiting for the other to apologize.
    Kevin did not feel good about being on non-speaking terms with his favorite brother. But he was not going to ask for forgiveness when, in his mind, this whole misunderstanding was his brother’s fault.
    So Kevin’s summer vacation was spent in his own “back yard.” As usual, he had planned to clean up his apartment. As usual, two weeks later his apartment looked just as it had two weeks before.
    He did do one thing new and different during his vacation. There was a new coffee shop on Foothill Street. It served 25 varieties of delicious coffee at reasonable prices, and the staff was genuinely friendly. The shop was air-conditioned at a slightly chilly temperature. About eight small round tables were inside. Outside were four bigger tables. Each had four white metal chairs around it, and several big umbrellas provided shade. Even on hot afternoons, there was usually a pleasant breeze.
    Kevin visited the coffee shop four times during his vacation. He always sat at a table outside by himself and read the free daily paper. Each day he was there, he read most of the newspaper articles while he enjoyed two cups of coffee.
    Between articles, he took breaks by watching the nearby traffic and pedestrians. The coffee shop was next to a huge parking lot. The lot was for customers of a grocery store, movie rental store, pharmacy, bank, and restaurant. Kevin considered his outdoor seat the perfect place for one of his favorite activities—people watching.
    The coffee shop, with its excellent location and coffee, had helped make his vacation a pleasant one. But he knew in his heart, had his brother been there to join him just one day, his vacation would have been a perfect one.

    1. 1.

      Why didn’t Kevin go anywhere during his vacation？

      1. A.
        Because he was short of money.
      2. B.

      4. D.
        Because he had to clean up his apartment.

      2. B.
        He had a big argument with Gary.
      3. C.
        He worked in a parking lot.
      4. D.
        He stayed at home most of the time.

        It had an effective air-conditioning system.
      3. C.
        It was often crowded with local customers.

    A few years ago, when I was still in high school, I met a wonderful and warm teacher. At that time in my life, there were many changes to adjust to, apart from the usual teenage troubles. My parents had divorced, so my elder brother and I had chosen to stay with my dad. Due to the fact that he was keeping the house, we didn’t have to move.
    During this time, my teacher took a special interest in me. Being my English teacher, she encouraged my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up. She brought me out of the shell I built.
    She became my mother, my older sister, my friend and my teacher. The one thing she couldn’t do though was to make me more girly as growing up with only my dad and brother made me a real tomboy.
    Sometimes, I would be really immature（不成熟的）, especially if she was scoring me less than others on purpose. She knew I could do better than what I was handing in and so pushed me to extend further than limits.
    When I finished school and then after college I was about to leave my hometowns she gifted me a watch that every second, with my pulse, should remind me of the one person who will forever wait and love me without reservation.

    Have you ever thought about what determines the way we are when we grow up? Remember the TV program Seven Up? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1973. We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and catch up with them at seven-year intervals: nervous 14-year-olds, serious 21-year-olds and then grown-ups.
    Some of the stories are inspiring, others sad, but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the children’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives. For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both. How about Niki? She says, “I would like to find out about the moon.” And she goes on to become a space scientist. As a child, soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India.
    But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so interesting. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do, by what they see on television or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors, including Steven Spielberg, say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives. Dr. Margaret McAllister, who has done a lot of research in this area, thinks that the major factors are parents, friends and their wider society.

    1. 1.

      What does the text mainly discuss?

      1. A.
        New ways to make a TV program interesting.
      2. B.
        The importance of TV programs to children.
      3. C.
        Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.
      4. D.
        The influence of childhood experience on future lives.
    2. 2.

      What does the underlined word “influenced” mean in the last paragraph?

      1. A.
        Impressed.
      2. B.
        Improved.
      3. C.
        Affected.
      4. D.
        Attracted.
    3. 3.

      What are the examples in Paragraph 2 meant to show?

      1. A.
        Many people’s childhood hopes are related to their future jobs.
      2. B.
        There are many poor children in India who need help.
      3. C.

      4. D.

      Spielberg’s story is meant to show that _______.

      1. A.
        going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about society
      2. B.
        a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-up
      3. C.
        parents and friends can help a child grow up properly

    In my experience, one of the greatest reasons of unhappiness is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different–we cry out for something better.That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something that has been grown in our culture.
    The root of the unhappiness isn’t that we want things to be different, however, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It’s not bad or good, but it just is.”
    Here is an example.I have written a paper, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind.Quite a few people think it bad after reading it because I think people should expect things to go differently than you planned, and that you should accept that, instead of encouraging people to change themselves or the environment as much as possible.You could accept it as the way the world works–as the way things actually are.And try to understand why that is, and follow it, as it is.
    This can be useful to whatever you do: whether it be how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they’re that way.
    It’ll save you a lot of sadness because you’ll no longer say, “Oh, I wish things didn’t go bad!”
    If you really understand what I mean, you can try a different way to live in this world:accept, and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.

    1. 1.

      What is the major reason why we feel unhappy in the writer’s opinion?

      1. A.
        We are never satisfied with ourselves and the environment around us.
      2. B.
        When we see something that makes us unhappy, we don’t know what to do.
      3. C.
        We feel hard to accept the way things happen themselves.
      4. D.
        No matter how happy we are, we never want to be happy.
    2. 2.

      What do you think the writer may say to himself when he meets something unhappy?

      1. A.
        How could I have made such a stupid mistake?
      2. B.
        I should have done better.It’s all my fault.
      3. C.
        Why is it all against my plan? It can’t be so bad.
      4. D.
        Well, I know all is what it is meant to be.Take it easy.
    3. 3.

      Why do some people think badly of the writer’s new paper after reading it?

      1. A.
        The writer hasn’t shown an encouraging attitude in his paper.
      2. B.
        The writer asks people to try to make things better.
      3. C.
        The writer reminds the people that things will go exactly as you’ve planned.
      4. D.
        The writer doesn’t think it a good idea to accept the things go naturally.
    4. 4.

      The statements below are based on the writer’s points of view, EXCEPT_______

      1. A.
        Unhappiness may be caused by human nature that we always want things to be better.
      2. B.
        Why we don’t like the thing is that we have regard it as bad in the beginning.
      3. C.
        The news media shouldn’t be so depressing if the reporters worked harder.
      4. D.
        The best way to avoid feeling unhappy is to accept the things as they are.

    GUATEMALA CITY（Reuters）---- A fish that lives in mangrove swamps（红树沼泽）across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted（适应）to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.
    The Mangrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs（圆木）, said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida .
    The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again.
    The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.
    “We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.
    In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.
    Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph.
    Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.
    “These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition（过渡）form water onto land, ” Wright said.

    1. 1.

      The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that ________.

      1. A.
        likes eating nuts
      2. B.
        prefers living in dry places
      3. C.
        is the longest living fish on earth
      4. D.
        can stay alive for two months out of water
    2. 2.

      Who will write up a report on mangrove Rivulus?

      1. A.
        Patricia Wright.
      2. B.
        Researchers in Guatemala.
      3. C.
        Scientists from Belize.
      4. D.
        Scott Taylor.
    3. 3.

      According to the text, lungfish can __________.

        move freely on dry land
      3. C.
        remain alive out of water
      4. D.
        be as active on land as in water
    4. 4.

      What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus?

      1. A.
        It was made quite by accident.
      2. B.
        It was based on a lab test of sea life.
      3. C.
        It was supported by an American magazine.
      4. D.
        It was helped by Patricia Wright.

    Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
    The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
    “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
    “Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”
    What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.
    “This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men”, said Goldspink.
    They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
    “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.
    The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age

    On the night of May 9, 2011, musician Gao Xiaosong ran his car into three other cars in Beijing.
    But it wasn’t just a car accident—he was drunk(喝醉的).
    Now, Gao has to go to prison (监狱) for six months and pay a 4,000 yuan fine.
    Gao is the first star to be punished under China’s new drunk driving law.
    From May 1 on, drunk drivers will pay a fine, and be banned from driving for five years or even forever.
    Drunk driving has become a serious social problem in China.According to the Ministry of Public Security (公安部), police caught more than half a million drunk drivers last year, a 68 % increase from 2009.
    The new law sees drunk driving as a crime.
    In the West, drunk driving is also a crime. In the US, for example, if the police catch a drunk driver, the driver will pay a fine, lose his or her license (驾照) and even go to prison. If the driver wants to drive again, he or she must do public service, and take part in educational programs.
    You may think: drunk driving is a crime? Isn’t this law too unkind? But experts say, “Not at all.”
    “It is to protect people’s rights to life and health,” Li Gang, lawyer in Chengdu, told China Daily. “Drunk driving is very dangerous. No matter what the results are, it should not be allowed.”

      3. C.

      4. D.
        the road was too crowded

    Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised," Barbara, be enthusiastic (热情的) ! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. "How right they were!
    "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It isthe paste that helps you hang on there, then the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" When others shout, "No, you can't!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted, yet she didn't stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
    We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, Cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. An author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote," Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. "
    Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, 'I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.' "
    If we can't do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius. "
    We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses--finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.

    Until recently, I hadn’t done much community service.In face, I did nothing to benefit anyone but myself.My selfishness and laziness were clear before I received an assignment from my teacher.Each student was required to complete 10 hours community service.To me, 10 hours was a huge amount of time to spend helping others.Volunterring, for me, has been a truly life – changing experience.
    My mom suggested that I organize a food drive（募捐活动）in our development（新建筑宅区）and donate what I collected to a local shelter.Anything that would help finish the project seemed like a good idea, so I agreed.I made up flyers（传单）asking for donations and placed flyers at every house in my neighborhood.
