Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”
　　So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called Goosehead. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.
　　After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called The Goosehead Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All About Ashley,” where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen. “I was so happy. But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I got very stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen—I didn't even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you'd be stressed, too!”
In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business, “Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And don't listen when _______, because I heard 'no' a lot. Just keep going until you hear 'yes'!”

It’s no secret that many students love music. Whether on your way to class, heading to the gym or hanging out with your friends, music just makes you feel good. Depending on the style you choose, it can give you energy or calm you down. Here are some other important reasons for listening to music.
Childhood memories. No matter how old you are, you will always remember a song from your past. Many people keep in mind a piece of music, or a number of pieces, from their childhood. Often when you hear that song, you begin to think of particular childhood memories, such as the song Old Houses in My Hometown. Music can bring back memories you may have forgotten.
Concentration development. Listening to music helps you develop your powers of concentration, especially when you are learning to play a musical instrument. This focus will also be useful in everyday life. You will concentrate deeper in school lessons, or even just in a simple conversation.
Motivation. Often , a song playing on the radio or from a CD will remind you of a situation you are experiencing. Sometimes just listening to that song can give you motivation to get through the situation at hand. Music can often touch us more deeply than words and makes us ready for a challenge.
Encouraging creativity. Music is a creative work of art. Though not everyone who listens to music becomes an artist, people listening to music are likely to feel more creative in the task they are doing, such as writing, painting or even cleaning the house.

In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It is difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people on the planet do not have enough to eat. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of          . Hunger kills more people per year than AIDS and malaria (疟疾) combined.
The UN calculates that almost two-thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a small number of people who don’t have enough to eat. There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars, droughts, floods and the overuse of farming land. All of them affect food production. But the most important reason is, quite simple, poverty — which has increased recently due to the economic effects of the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people point out that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution.In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population and there are of course many areas of the world where people generally have more than enough food. Overweight is a far bigger problem than hunger there.
小题1: What’s the main topic of the passage? (no more than 3 words )
                                                               
小题2:Where do most of the hungry people live? (no more than 3 words)

小题4:What does the underlined word “they”(line 4, paragraph 2 ) probably refer to? (no more than 6 words)

[1]Everyone wants something in life， love， money， success and so on. Yet too many people fail to achieve their goals， and nearly all of them are for the same reason.
[2]It‘s true that terrible things do happen to people during their lives， though no fault of their own， which may make them feel upset. Generally speaking， however， getting what you really want out of life is just a matter of the following three simple steps.
[3]Firstly， you have to decide what it is you want the most. But do not make a list of wishes; try to focus on one thing at a time. If you‘re not sure about where you want to go， you‘d better think it over first and not hurry to perform.
[4]Secondly， create an action plan. This will be your map for getting from ”____________________” to ”where you want to go”. You know what you want， and what steps you are going to take to get it. For example， if you want a better job， start with a skills assessment and maybe some extra training. Then you‘ll need to sell yourself and your skills either to your present employer or to a new employer.
[5]Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really get you lost without a clue of how to get there. Not to worry， though， books， biographies and such， can be of great help.
[6]The third and final step is to execute. Do what you planned. Take the steps you outlined on your road map and keep going on all the time. If you run into some people who are against you， simply ignore them.
[7]Never give up the goal. Keep pushing. Whatever you do， do not lose heart until you have what you desire in your hands. Never think that you can’t turn your dream into a reality.

[1] My high school, like many others, was extremely competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure of trying to get excellent grades while joining in extra-curricular activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families.
[2] I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other, but after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less. I tried to go to her gymnastic meets and soccer games, but I had my own play rehearsals（排练）and meetings.
[3] Then one day I came home, an empty house and I found a note from my mom. She was at my brother’s baseball game. However my sister was at her friend’s, and would be dropped off.
[4] At five o’clock I went to turn on the light on the front porch and saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friend’s father. I heard them talking.
[5] “Is anyone at home?” the father asked.
[6] “Just my mean elder sister, Sara, and she’s probably in her room as usual,” my sister replied. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know who this man and my sister was making me sound like one of Cinderella’s wicked (可恶的)stepsisters. I opened the door, thanked the father for _______________, then shut the door and started to cry.
[7] To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room. But I realized that what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn’t been a good elder sister.
[8] I had lost track （路线，方向）of what was important, and what really mattered. I had been fallen into a whirlpool（漩涡）of pressure and competition, and it took my sister’s honest observation to show me that the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone---certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in not more than 15 words for each question.?
① “Hello” is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello. It is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change — how might we change — if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
② It can boost（促进）productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation (参与) and better grades.
③ Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were more likely to kiss one’s hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant one. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.
④ It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).
⑤ So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello to each other. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.
小题1: In the first paragraph, what does the author mean by saying “it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults”?
小题2:The research shows that if the school teachers greet their students each morning individually, the students______________________.
小题3: Three effects of smiling on health are: (1) ___________ (2) _____________ (3) _____________
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Bullying (欺负) can take a variety of forms, from the verbal being taunted or called hurtful names to the physical being kicked or shoved, as well as indirect forms, such as being excluded (排除)from social groups. A survey I conducted with Irene Whitney found that in British primary schools up to a quarter of pupils reported experience of bullying, in which about one in ten cases was persistent(执意的). There was less bullying in secondary schools, with about one in twenty-five suffering persistent bullying, but these cases may be particularly recalcitrant.
Bullying is clearly unpleasant, and can make the child experiencing it feel unworthy and depressed. In extreme cases it can even lead to suicide, though this is thankfully rare. Victimized pupils are more likely to experience difficulties with interpersonal relationships as adults, while children who persistently bully are more likely to grow up to be physically violent, and convicted of anti-social offences.
Until recently, little help was available to teachers to deal with bullying. Perhaps as a consequence, schools would often deny the problem. “There is no bullying at this school” has been a common refrain, almost certainly untrue. Fortunately more schools are now saying: “There is not much bullying here, but when it occurs we have a clear policy for dealing with it.”
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS)
小题1:According to the first paragraph, the fact that _________________ belongs to an indirect form of bullying.
小题2:The survey the author conducted indicates that as students grow older, ______________.
小题3:Bullying is likely to cause ________________ feelings among victimized children.
小题4:One possible reason why schools denied the problem of bullying was ______________.

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.

The tasty cream-filled golden sponge(海绵) cakes have been an American favorite for decades. These are just a few of the sugary treats made by the beloved Hostess brand. But after more than 80 years, Americans have to say goodbye to these iconic (标志性的) desserts. Early last week, Hostess announced it is going out of business.
"Many people have worked unbelievably long and hard to keep this from happening," said Hostess CEO Gregory F. Rayburn. "Hostess Brand has no other alternative than to begin the process of getting down and preparing for the sale of our iconic brands." Along with Twinkles (奶油蛋糕) and Wonder Bread, cupcakes and other sugary treats may disappear from the shelves.
In the past decade, Hostess has experienced difficulties with its management and high labor costs. The company had money troubles in the past, but this time there was no way to recover. Along with the loss of sugary treats comes the loss of nearly 20,000 jobs. Hostess fans hope that another company will buy out the Hostess.
The downfall of Hostess is due not just to the company's financial problems, but also to a changing America. Our country's tastes and lifestyles are not the same as they were eighty years ago. Americans have become more health-conscious, and they are demanding more healthful food products. As a manufacturer of high-calorie products, Hostess does not fit into this new way of life.
To make matters worse for Hostess, Americans do not eat as much bread as they once did. "More and more people are choosing one-dish meals," said Harry Balzar. "The tradition of bread as a side dish is going out." Americans are finding alternatives to their morning toast too. Instead they’re choosing quick snacks like yogurt and energy bars.
Will Twinkles become an image of a bygone(过去的) America? Hostess fans hope that it will secure its spot on supermarket shelves for years to come. We can only wait. And maybe eat fruit for dessert instead.
