A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to         the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned      a pot of coffee  and  all  kinds  of cups-crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic, some nice looking, some plain looking, some     , some cheap. And he told them to help       to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "I've noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were     , leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is      for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your     and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.       you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,     you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this.Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and     in society are the cups. They are just      to hold life. and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by       only of the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has    us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups.  Please enjoy your coffee ! "
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make       of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak    . And leave the rest to God.

Many people have a fear(害怕) of public speaking. According to a study, it has an influence on 3 in every 4 people. This fact is surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.
Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. Don’t write details. Put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. Don’t look at your note cards for a long time while speaking. If necessary, you’re only going to want to have a quick look at the card for information, not read every last word.
Smile at your class. When it comes time to speak, there’s nothing that draws your class into your speech than a good old-fashioned smile. Be happy, because you’re about to teach your class something they didn’t know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infections. That means once you smile, it’s hard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That’ll make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.
Make eye contact. Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you’re communicating with them. Also, you’ll look like you know what you’re talking about.
Use hand motions. Move your hands along as you talk, using them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don’t want to work. Instead, you want to stay in bed,  feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope(显微镜). They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother won’t let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren’t found only in water . They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger and some of the dust ( 灰尘 ) from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs would go into your finger.

When disaster (灾难) happens, you might find yourself without water, gas and electricity. You might even need to leave your home right away. So you are supposed to plan for the bad situations before the disaster comes. Here are some suggestions：
First, have a family meeting. Plan a way to get your family members together if they can't find each other after the disaster. Choose two places for everyone to go to if it isn't safe to return home. The first should be near your house. You can go there in an emergency(紧急情况) like a fire. The second meeting place should be outside your neighborhood.
Next, choose a person outside your area who can help your family get in touch with each other. After a disaster, it is often easier to communicate over a long-distance call than a local one. The person can pass messages between your family members.
Then, get a family disaster kit ready. It should include things your family needs. It can help you survive (生存) at least for three days like bread, water, medicine and things like that. Put them in a bag so you can carry it if you leave in a hurry. When doing it, remember that different people have different needs.  Include special things necessary for elderly or young members of your family.
Finally, practice your emergency plan, and update (更新) it as necessary.
You may not be able to stop disasters, but with a little planning you can be helped.

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is way.
At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is, “You can’t.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistake is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this : Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learnt 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited(有限的) .
There is an old saying, “ If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.
小题1: If you are making a mistake, that means_______ .
A．you are careful.B．you’re kind.
C．you ‘re growing.D．you know nothing.
小题2: If you never try new things, you can’t _____ .
A．improveB．createC．spendD．A and B
小题3: After Edison failed 10,000 times, he ________ .
A．gave upB．invented the light bulb.
C．invented the computer.D．invented 10,000 new things.
小题4:When you make a mistake, you are closer to_______ .
A．timeB．moneyC．successD．everything
小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Never make mistakes.
B．You can make mistakes without thinking.
C．Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes.
D．Making mistakes is terrible.
The sun gives energy and the earth receives the sun’s energy. The way the earth interacts with the sun’s energy can be displayed in a picture called the earth’s energy budget（预算）. It displays the sun’s energy that reaches us and how much of that energy is taken in and how much is thrown back by the earth and its air. Once the energy reaches the earth, some of it is taken by land and oceans. The amount of energy that is taken in influences the temperatures. The energy that is not taken in is thrown back to space.
Generally, the amount of energy coming in is equal to the amount of energy going out. So, we say the earth’s energy budget is balanced. If more energy was coming in than was going out, the earth’s temperature would increase. On the other hand, if too much energy is thrown back, and not taken in, we would see the earth’s temperature dropping.
Of all of the sun’s energy that hits the earth, about 67% is taken in by the land, oceans, air and clouds and about 33% is thrown back into space.
小题1:The picture above shows us how ________ hits the earth.
A. the high temperature         B. the heavy rain               C. the sun’s energy
小题2:In the 2nd paragraph, the underlined phrase “equal to ” means “______”.
A. less than                    B. the same as              C. more than
小题3:Picture ______ shows us the main idea of the last paragraph.

A.       B.      C.

小题4:If too much energy is thrown back, we will feel ______on the earth.
A. cold                     B. hot                      C. warm
小题5:The amount of energy that is _______ influences the temperatures.
A. well balanced               
B. thrown back                 
C. taken in
“I had a Welsh speaking test. I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”
Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools taking a hard line on truancy (逃学)．
Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection（检查）, the more children work out better methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d miss whole days to avoid being caught.
For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.
Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.
The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,” he told James.
James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”
小题1:What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James’ study?
A．Truants are fallen behind in their studies.
B．Truants have no interest in school subjects.
C．Truants have more interesting things to do.
D．Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.
小题2:The underlined phrase “taking a hard line” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to“        ”.
A．experiencing a problem withB．having a strict attitude towards
C．finding it difficult to solveD．having little success with
小题3: By citing Adam's remark, James wants to show that      .
A．school education is not efficient and needs improvement
B．it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harm
C．school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concern
D．even good students may sometimes need a break from school
小题4: What is Philippa James’ suggestion to schools?
A．Schools should solve the problem of teachers.
B．Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.
C．Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.
D．Schools should find out who truant and how they it.
Running
Running is good for people with too much fat because it can help them become slim. It also makes people strong. But it may be bad for joints (关节). If we don’t feel comfortable in our joints, we should stop for another activity.
Walking
Walking makes our bodies relaxed (放松的). It can also help people to be slim.
Swimming
Swimming is a great way to make different places of your body strong. But it is not a good way to keep slim. The water in a swimming pool is cooler than our body. The body protects (保护) itself from the cold by keeping fat.
Cycling
Riding a bike will help us be slim and make our legs strong, too. But be careful! If you live in the city, you should ride on the bike road and be away from the busy traffic.
小题1: If you’re not well in the joints while running, you should 　　     .
A．run fasterB．keep running
C．stop runningD．drink water
小题2: While cycling in cities, you should be away from the traffic to 　　     .
A．keep quietB．keep safe
C．ride fasterD．enjoy fresh air
小题3: You can be slim if you play these sports except (除了) 　　     .

In the most southern part of our planet, there’s a place that’s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.

As the world’s least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.
Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.
Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.
Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.
What’s more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.
Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’ passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.
小题1:From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica ______.
A．is covered with snow and ice
B．rains heavily from time to time
C．has little wind most of the time
D．has sunshine during every night
小题2:Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _____.
A．find out ways to control water pollution

小题3:In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _____.
A．wear more clothes to keep warm
B．cover the windows with black cloth
C．connect research stations with ropes
D．eat more fried and canned vegetables
小题4:We can replace (替换) the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with       .
A．strong love
B．full preparation
C．pleasant introduction
D．amazing imagination
小题5:The passage is mainly about       .
A．view of the Antarctica
B．exploring the Antarctica
C．how to survive in the Antarctica
D．climate changes of the Antarctica
