18．To be punctual is important for us because people rather expect us to be on time for appointments．But it seems not easy to be on time every time．Here are some useful methods to help you be punctual．
Plan your route．If your destination（目的地） is unfamiliar，go online the night before to map out your route and see how long it's going to take．Then you will know when you have to leave the house．
Do as much as possible the night before．Make your mornings less stressful（有压力的） by doing what you can the night before to make your time enough．Get your clothes ready．Set the breakfast table．Make your lunch if you need to take it．
Make a time table．You need to make a time table if you have lots of things to do in a day．For example，the time you get up，the time you leave the house，and the time you wait for the bus．You also need to estimate（估计） how long it takes．
Give yourself a gift of being early．If you plan to get to your destination 15minutes early，you'll probably never be late again．Being early seems a waste of time．But you can do something you love．Read the newspaper，read your favorite blogs and even call a friend．It really can be a gift．

5．On a cool November afternoon in Fleming Island，Florida，Melissa Hawkinson，41，was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead．What was that？She thought．As she drove up to the scene，she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore．"It was going down pretty quickly，"Hawkinson recalls．She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water．Water is going to be cold，she thought．
     She took off her vest and leather boots，got into the icy water，and swam to the car，where she found Cameron Dorsey，five，trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him．
     Hawkinson tried to open the door，but it was locked．So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door．She pulled the boy free，swam to shore，and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock．The driver，the boy's suicidal father，swam back to land on his own．Afterward，Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket．"For ten or 15 minutes，I couldn't stop shaking，"she said．
     There's nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson，an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile．Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day．Why do some people act quickly，willing to take a risk for a stranger？What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it？Hawkinson，the Granite Mountain Hotshots （能手，高手）---19 of whom lost their life this past summer in Arizona---every hero who puts his or her life on the line to save another：what makes them brave？
     Moreover，can bravery be learned，or is it a quality with which you are born？The answer is complex．Bravery taps the mind，brain and heart．It comes from instinct，training and sympathy．Today，neurologists，psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery，trying to uncover the mystery．
21．It can be learned from the passage thatB．
A．Melissa Hawkinson was a 41-year-old nurse
B．Melissa Hawkinson was kind and courageous．
C．Melissa Hawkinson was picking up her five-year-old son
D．it was spring when the accident happened

A．No one else was available except Melissa Hawkinson．
B．The father committed suicide because of the divorce．
C．The father was saved in the end by Melissa Hawkinson．
D．Not everyone was ready to risk saving the five-year-old boy．．
23．How does the writer find other people on the dockside？C
A．Warm and ready to help            
B．Thoughtful
C．Kind of cold-blooded             
D．Not skillful at swimming
24．What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage？A

B．To call on us to learn from such people as Hawkinson．
C．To remind people of risk while saving others．
D．To show people bravery can be learned．

9．Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships．For example，in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure．Yet it also has other uses．A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child．A smile may show love or politeness．It can also hide true feelings．It often causes confusion （困惑） across cultures．For example，many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper．Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places although this is less common in big cities．Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places； some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough．In Southeast Asian cultures，a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings．Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile．
Our faces show emotions （情感），but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture．The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions．Rather，there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted．For example，in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do．When with friends，Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly．
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural backgrounds in the United States．People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others．The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different．If we judge according to our own cultural habits，we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly．
28．What does the smile usually mean in the U．S．？A
A．Joy                            
B．Politeness
C．Love                           
D．Thankfulness
29．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile canD．
A．show friendliness to strangers      
B．show personal habits
C．be used in the wrong places        
D．be used to hide true feelings
30．What should we do before attempting to"read"people？A
A．Understand their cultural backgrounds
B．Learn about their relations with others
C．Find out about their past experience
D．Figure out what they will do next
31．What would be the best title for the test？D
A．Cultural Differences                        
B．Smiles and Relationships
C．Habits and Emotions                        
D．Facial Expressiveness．
19．Light traveled faster than sound．
6．My suggestion is that we should be set off early tomorrow．
3．As I sat beside the window of our classroom that afternoon，my heart sank further with each passing car．This was a day I'd looked forward to for weeks：Miss Pace's fourth-grade，end-of-the-year party．
I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace looked for cookie volunteers．Mom's chocolate chips were well-known，and I knew they'd be a hit with my classmates．But two o'clock passed，and there was no sign of her．Most of the other mothers had already come and gone，dropping off their sweet offerings．
The three o'clock bell soon took me away from my thoughts and I took my book bag from my desk．
I decided I would slam the front door，and refuse to return her hug．But when I arrived，she wasn't at home．
I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door．
"Robbie，"she called out a bit urgently．"Where are you？"
I could then hear her rushing anxiously from room to room，wondering where I could be．I remained silent．Coming through the door，she said："I'm so sorry，honey，"she said．"I just forgot．I got busy and forgot．"
Then my mother did something completely unexpected．She began to laugh!How could she laugh at a time like this？I rolled over and faced her，ready to let her see my rage （愤怒）．
But my mother wasn't laughing at all．She was crying．"I'm so sorry，"she said．"I let you down．I let my little boy down．"
I was moved by her tears．
I tried to remember her kind words from times past when I'd skinned knees or cut myself，times when she knew just the right thing to say．
"It's okay，Mom．We didn't even need those cookies．There was plenty of stuff to eat．Don't cry．It's all right．Really．"
We didn't say another word．We just held each other．When we came to the point where I would usually pull away，I decided that，this time，I could hold on，perhaps，just a little bit longer．

4．Influenced by their families and society，many youths are infatuated with expensive famous brands．But not every youth is as rich as a millionaire and people are getting worried about this．
According to a recent survey，one out of five pupils wears clothes of well-known brands，including a belt worth 560 Yuan，more than a half of an ordinary worker's salary．Among the 100middle school students surveyed，as many as 70own famous-brand clothes，60have famous-brand watches and 45possess famous-brand bicycles．Two of them even wear over 1500Yuan worth of suits．
Most young people who come from ordinary families will try to steal money to have better food and clothing if their parents don't satisfy their needs．A boy named Chen even killed another boy simply for 500Yuan and was sentenced to nine years'imprisonment．
