   I still remember that night after my senior high school entrance examination. Even though I was at the top of my class,I was not good in history. At around 10 pm,I tried to sleep,and my eyes just wouldn't close. Suddenly,I saw my dad coming into my room,with smile on his face,asked me to go to sleep. I told him that I couldn't get to sleep. He called me into my room and put his hand on my head. I didn't even realize that I had fallen asleep. I took up my exam the next day and the result was satisfied. It's tough to put into word what parents do for us but times like this reminds me just how wonderful parents truly are.

   Question:

   Hi,Carolyn. I am Amanda. My problem is with Stacy,my roommate of three years (we,re all 24) . When my other roommate,Joanna,and I have an issue (such as emptying the dishwasher) , we talk through it calmly and non-defensively,we apologize,and it's all good. Stacy becomes extremely defensive,gets worked up,and lashes(严厉斥责) back at us. What's more,she’ 11 never .bring up anything that bothers her. She keeps it all bottled up,and then occasionally will explode.

   She's also super-competitive with us about everything,extremely judgmental and negative. She gets angry that I keep in contact with certain people she doesn't like. I don't let her control me. I do my own thing and generally feel sorry for her,but I'm finding it harder and harder to ignore her controlling nature.

   We've been friends for six years now,and I've gotten to the point where I know this is terrible and I need to move out when my lease(租约) is up next year. I just need to figure out how to live with her in the meantime!I'm constantly living in fear of the next explosion.

                                                      Portland 

   Answer:

   It's not only an exhausting way to live,but also completely counterproductive. There isn't much you can do about her; it's neither possible nor your place to re-raise her into someone comfortable with weaknesses in herself and others.

   However,there is a lot you can do about yourself,just by opening up and backing off,which might also serve Stacy well if any kindness toward her is sincere. When she gets defensive,say: aHey,you're my friend and I love you. This really is just about dishes." When she turns things back on you,weigh whether she has a point and freely acknowledge when she does instead of getting defensive right away.

   Try to be calm and warm. Give her defensiveness no fuel. If this doesn't repair the friendship,it will at least make you live in peace.

   Finally ... the season of sun,fun,and freedom!36 Follow these steps to keep yourself healthy and safe.

   Don’t rely on sunscreen. Yes,you need to slather(大量地涂抹) sunscreen on exposed skin,but other precautions are just as important. Seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and protect your skin and face with clothing,a hat,and shades.

   37 If you feel thirsty,you’re already dehydrated (脱水的) —that puts you at an increased risk of hot weather-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke ( 中暑).

   Know the signs of heat stroke. When its hot or humid,it becomes harder for your body to release the heat generated during exercise. If your core temperature becomes too high,heat stroke can set in. Avoid ending up in the emergency room by starting slower than normal,then gradually increasing the intensity of your workout over two full weeks. 38 

   Turn down the car radio. Here's a scary fact: 39 So cut out any distractions(分心的事物) while driving 一 from exciting music to texting — that can raise your risk of having an accident.

   Learn these lifesaving swim moves. Drowning is the second-most-common cause of accidental injury or death in adolescents. 40 Stick to zones with a lifeguard present,never swim alone,and learn these simple swimming skills — even if you never plan on getting wet. 1. Turn yourself around in a flill circle while in the water. 2. Float on your back. 3. Tread(踩) water. 4. Swim 25 yards (the length of a standard swimming pool) .

   G. The period between May and September is the deadliest time for teen drivers.

   I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone,N. C. , where I ate at F. A. R.M. (Feed All Regardless of Means) Cafe. You can volunteer to earn your meal,pay the suggested price ($10) or less,or you can overpay — paying it forward for a future customer's meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Cafe opened in York in April,I signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).

   F. A. R.M. and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafes. In 2003,Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation,helping others copy her pay-what-you-can model.

   “I think the community cafe is truly a hand up,not a handout,^ Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society,but people typically dori 51 feel good about going there.

   “One of the values of the community cafe is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here,no one needs to know whether you volunteered,underpaid or overpaid." 

   The successful cafes not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhoods — whether it's a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some- offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we’ re all in this world together. '

   My 10 am-1 pm shift at Healthy World Cafe began with the cafe manager — one of two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly,but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift,I ordered my earned meal at the counter,together with other volunteers. After lunch,I walked out the door,with a handful of new friends,music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.

   B. She overpaid for her food.

29. What is the advantage of community cafes compared with soup kitchens?

   I live in Minnesota,which is unfairly famous for terrible winters. Buffalo is far more wintry,whereas Seattle's winters are more bitter. Our winters tend to be brilliantly sunny and cheerful. But,of course,s different for a visitor.

   Lightweight thermal (保暖的) wear is good. Back in the day,we wore layers and layers of heavy woolens. A boy of 13 carrying 35 pounds of wet wool on his back does not feel very cold. Today you can buy outfits filled with goose feathers as well as thermal boots and caps to keep you warm.

When I was a youth,there was no such phrase as global warming. We never got warm,not even at night,when we slept under piles of blankets because Dad believed that if you couldn,t see your breath ' when you talked,then the thermostat was turned up too high and you were wasting fuel. So 45 degrees was room temperature,and we wore long woolens to bed.

   We arose in the cold,dark dawn,and walked forth into the snowstorm to catch the school bus. We huddled(蜷缩) by the highway,praying for the bus to come,while wolves moved around eyeballing us for signs of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves,then the winters of today are a walk in the park.

   Enduring winter is only a start — embracing(拥抱) winter is what you should struggle for. Winter gives a sense of purpose and saves one from a life of self-gratification,lying down and posting photos on Facebook. You have promises to keep. A sidewalk to clear. Two inches of snow over a layer of ice — you may as well set a leg trap for the elderly as leave the walk unswept.

   You have children to raise. Remove their fingers from their smart phones,and lead them outdoors so they can absorb the wisdom of winter. We are animals. Life is not mainly about self-expression. It is about finding food and clothing and shelter,about sticking with the pack and not wandering off. Everyone,is just as cold as you. No complaining.

32. What are Minnesota's winters like in the author's eyes?

   A. They are wonderful.

   B. They are unbearable.

   C. They are colder than Buffalo’ s.

   D. They are comfortable for visitors.

33. When the author was young, .

   A. he kept talking to keep warm

   B. he suffered from winters’ nights

   C. his dad tried his best to warm him

   D. his room was always at a high temperature

34. The underlined part “the winters of today are a walk in the park” in Paragraph 4 implies that today's winters are.

   A. warm   B. quiet

   C. short   D. pleasant

35. The author suggests that people .

   A. store enough food for cold winters

   B. lend the neighbors a helping hand

   C. step outside and appreciate winters

   D. say goodbye to modem technology

   Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games,it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles - you can come together with them in the virtual world. 

   Bill Wyman,former bass player in the Rolling Stones,has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own experience suggests quite the opposite.

   Last year,I bought Guitar Hero III for our 14-year-old son,Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.

   A few months later,while I was away on tour,a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along to a track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack's friends taught him how to play along to his favourite songs using just his index finger on the bass string. He got it right away.

   Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players 一 how to strum the strings with one hand while making chord shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now,preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.

   Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument,it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognisable sound the first time he plugged in.

   So let's not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and,in our son's case,gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.

24. What's Bill Wyman's attitude towards music video games?

   A. Approving. B. Negative.

   C. Unconcerned. D. Curious.

25. The first time Jack played with a real electric guitar,he.

   A. did it successfully

   B. taught his friends how to play

   C. didn't know how to strum the strings

   D. didn’ t know how to play along to a song 

26. Jack's case shows .

   A. Guitar Hero is a useful game .

   B. kids should learn an instrument

   C. parents should encourage their kids

   D. computer games are harmful for kids

27. What's the best title for the text?

   A. A new computer game

   B. The story of a guitarist

   C. In defence of Guitar Hero

   D. The best way to play guitar

           3 Brilliant British Races BOGNOR BIRDMAN (JULY 18-19) 

   Every summer,thousands of people from around the world gather in Bognor Regis on the southern coast of England to see who can fly the longest distance in homemade flying machines before jumping into the English Channel. The record,set in 1992,is 292 feet. Frequently,participants compete in special clothes. Dr. Who and his Tardis,a group of flying doughnuts(油炸圈饼) ,and a skateboarding cow have all taken the leap in past competitions. They didn't get so far.

            WORLD HEN RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS (AUGUST 1) 

   Chickens are extremely difficult to train,but that doesn 51 stop about 50 international hen owners from entering their birds in the World Hen Racing Championships each year in Bonsall,England. Keeping alive a century-old tradition,the hens race along a 50-foot course. While some owners let their untrained chickens “wing it,” others try to get their chickens into competition shape with daily“sprints (短跑) ” during the months leading up to the race. 

          BRITISH LAWN MOWER RACING ASSOCIATION’S 12-HOUR RACE (AUGUST 8) 

   Mowing the lawn(刈草坪) for 12 hours straight is some people's idea of an impossibility. For others,it's the most interesting part of the summer. Drivers start their engines at 8:00 in the evening,and,in teams of three,work straight through the night until 8:00 the next morning,averaging 25 mph. Last year,the winning team finished a record 311 miles on the course in Billingshurst,England,doing justice to the association's motto: “Per Herbam Ad Astra,” or “Through the Grass to the Stars."

   My history teacher Mrs. Sherman in my 11th grade is a great influence on me. She was the person who helped me develop an interest in 41 . Most importantly,she had faith in me,forcing me to 42 myself and helped me become the first in my family to attend a four-year college.

   One of my readers was thought to be a 51 . So,naturally,we started getting 52 . Then,a twist of fate Beth,the potential donor,was discovered to have a cancerous tumor (^5%) on her own kidney. We were 53 to learn this.

   Beth would need an operation,but she could be 54 . She kept thanking me over and over for 55 her life. But we all know the 56 . Beth saved her own life — by being so 57 ,and volunteering to save the life of a 58 .
