Tina and I had been good friend for years. We often did things together, so one day Tina didn’t talk to me and just sat by herself. I don’t know what was wrong. I thought about what I had done and said recent. Was Tina upset because I had done well in the history test than her? No, she was happy that I did well in school. I decided find out what was the matter. I walked over to there Tina was sitting. “Tina,” I said softly, “is anything wrong?” He answered sadly, “Yes, my cat died on last night.” I finally knew the reason what she didn’t talk to me and comforted her.

“I 【5】 (eat) with my wife and children when we heard a loud noise” he said, “ A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best 【6】 (climb) out but then I saw that one of my children was 【7】 (miss). I went back inside and found him, safe 【8】 very frightened.”

【题目】Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman living there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?

What is a yawn and why do people yawn? A yawn is often associated with a person being tired. 【1】____ People yawn for many reasons including stress, boredom, emotion and overwork.

Have you noticed that yawning seems to be contagious(会传染的)? If one person yawns, this appears to cause another person to yawn. Researchers have found that 40－60% of people who see a picture of someone yawning will yawn themselves.__ 【2】__

Some people think that yawning is rude and suggests that you are bored or uninterested. Maybe a yawn is a signal to a group that it's time to go to sleep, or if someone yawns when they're bored, it may be a sign to change the topic of conversation. _【3】__ Animals of all types yawn. If you have a dog or cat, you've probably seen your pet yawn several times. Even some birds yawn such as cockatiel parrots, Adelie penguins and Emperor penguins.

Some of the scientific explanations of why we yawn claim it is caused by physical needs. One likely explanation is that the yawning reflex happens when our blood needs more oxygen. The deep breath helps supply the levels of oxygen in our blood. _【4】_ It is also thought that the same chemicals in our brain that affect our moods and emotions cause us to yawn.

Superstitions about yawning have been around for hundreds of years and can date back to the ancient Greeks. A common superstition says that a person must cover his or her mouth when yawning so that the soul does not escape through the mouth. _【5】__ Today most people do not believe these superstitions and know that a yawn is a physical reflex.

A. Did you yawn while reading this article?

B. Yawning is not limited to humans.

C. It will make you lose interest in your work.

D. But this is not always the cause for a yawn.

E. Even reading the word YAWN can make people yawn.

F. Other people believe that yawning is a sign that danger is near.

G. Another common theory is that a yawn helps regulate our body temperature.

【题目】While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things，they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground，hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza． Though not much can be done about the first two things，there may soon be a solution to the third one，thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer！

About a year ago，NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contractor， a 3-D technology expert，to build a device（设备）that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand． The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked， tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens．

Late last year， the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time．Then comes the tomato “sauce” — a mix of tomato powder，oil and water and finally，a protein slice that resembles cheese．While the video doesn’t show the baking process，the inventor says that once the pizza is printed，it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds．

While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover，Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts．That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years．Though that may sound unrealistic，actually it is not．

Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients（配料）and then they are reduced to the powder form．This，as you can imagine，will not be so easy．But，while the printer may not be ready for space，it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth．Hopefully，NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars！

【1】Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do？

A. To ask us not to take common things for granted．

B. To show they live a difficult life there．

C. To show their life is boring in space．

D. To introduce the topic of the text．

【2】NASA offered $ 125，000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to _______．

A. create some new type of 3-D printer

B. attract more companies to work for NASA

C. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day

D. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits

【3】The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______．

A. he has no money left to go on with his research

B. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers

C. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years

D. he cannot make the food container last for decades

【4】What’s the best title of the passage？

A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better

B. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza

C. NASA is working on making pizza for common people

D. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza

【题目】After graduation from college, Joe ______ for a year seeing the country before he went to work in his father’s business.
