    Dear John,
    I'm sorry you didn't get the part you tried out for in that play. I know how much you wanted to be in the play. Now you feel that maybe acting isn't the right future for you. I think you're wrong. You're a good actor. Do you remember when you played Caesar in your summer theatre group's play? You were excellent . People clapped(鼓掌)every time you walked on stage（舞台). Even the other actors loved you.
    All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It's part of an actor's life. Even famouse actors don't get every part they want. I think you should give acting another chance. You love it so much, and you're good at it. Don't be discouraged because you lose one part in the play. Wait a bit, and try for another one. After all , you can always give up some other time.
    Love,
    Jane

    Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.  The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
    There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb

    1. 1.

      What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?

      1. A.
        Using too much packaging
      2. B.
        Recycling too many wastes
      3. C.
        Making more products than necessary
      4. D.
        Having more material than is needed
    2. 2.

      The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______

      1. A.
        the tendency of cutting household waste
      2. B.
        the increase of packaging recycling
      3. C.
        the rapid growth of super markets
      4. D.
        the fact of packaging overuse
    3. 3.

      According to the text, recycling ______

      1. A.
        helps control the greenhouse effect
      2. B.
        means burning packaging for energy
      3. C.
        is the solution to gas shortage
      4. D.
        leads to a waste of land
    4. 4.

      What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

      1. A.
        Unpackaged products are of bad quality
      2. B.
        Supermarkets care more about packaging
      3. C.
        It is improper to judge quality by packaging
      4. D.
        Other products are better packaged than food
    5. 5.

      What can we learn from the last paragraph?

      1. A.
        Fighting wastefulness is difficult
      2. B.
        Needless material is mostly recycled
      3. C.
        People like collecting recyclable waste
      4. D.
        The author is proud of their consumer culture

    By contrast (对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
    In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more changes and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
    These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

    1. 1.

      In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would __________.

      1. A.
        succeed in climbing up the social ladder
      2. B.
        judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
      3. C.
        face difficulties and take up challenges
      4. D.
        aim high and reach his goal each time
    2. 2.

      Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growth?

      1. A.
        Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges.
      2. B.
        Little Tom won the first prize in the Speech Contest.
      3. C.
        Max picked up French while he was in Paris.
      4. D.
        Daddy’s salary rose from $3,000 to $3,800.
    3. 3.

      The best title for this passage should be _________.

      1. A.
        Facing new challenges
      2. B.
        Growth ―product or process
      3. C.
        Unavoidable feeling of self-doubt
      4. D.
        Overcoming internal fears

    We were on our way home from Houston one Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local gas station to get coffee and something to snack on since it was a good hour and a half before we got home.
    When we were done, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a man standing outside in front of the building. He was a homeless man with worn clothes and it looked like he had gone in and gotten himself some coffee or something warm to drink since it was cold this time of the year. He must have not had enough money to get something to eat.
    Then a dog walked up to the front of the building. I could tell she was a “she”, because you could tell that she had baby dogs. She was terribly in need of something to eat and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her baby dogs would not make it.
    I and my wife sat there and looked at her. We noticed that people walked by and didn’t even pet her, like most people do when they walk by an animal in front of a store. We still did not do anything. But the homeless man, who I thought did not buy himself anything to eat, went back into the store. And what he did brought tears to me and my wife. He had gone into the store and with what money he may have had, bought a can of dog food and fed that dog.
    This story plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother’s Day weekend. And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.

    Men have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.
    In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.
    The study's participants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.
    Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the bottom.
    The aggregate（总数）scores of men and women were similar.
    One of the study's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their homes.
    "The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.
    The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.
    It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.
    A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.
    The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach

      1. A.
        man are smarter then women

        man are more stupid the women
      3. C.
        a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
      4. D.
        men are more likely to receive first class university degrees
    2. 2.

      According to Timothy Bates, less women are in the smartest group because _________

      1. A.
        they are born stupid
      2. B.
        they have to spend more time to tale care of their homes than men
      3. C.
        they don’t like to take risk
      4. D.
        they are not expected to be high achievers
