Christmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.

I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.

Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can’t wait,” I said. The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.

“Mom, may I talk to you for a second?”

“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.

And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.

“Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.

“Then what am I getting?” I asked.

She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”

The next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...

My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.

Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera — my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.

1.The underlined phrase “dropping hints” in Paragraph 1 means _____.

A. talking often B. suggesting indirectly

C. sending presents D. taking pictures

2.Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first?

A. Her mother couldn’t understand her at all.

B. Her mother didn’t buy her any Christmas gift.

C. She didn’t find her present in her mom’s room.

D. She mistook her sister’s Christmas gift for hers.

3.We can infer from the passage that _____.

A. her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointment

B. Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas Eve

C. Stacy thought it’s OK to have an old camera

D. her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A Christmas gift as wished.

B. Love is more important than gifts.

C. A wonderful Christmas.

D. Love can not be bought.

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely to have our views challenged by other members of society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advanced imprinting, telecommunications photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission(传输) and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed(侵蚀) by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to(只限于) a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. For years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse(滥用). However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.

1.In the first paragraph, the writer emphasizes the ___________ of face-to-face contact in social setting.

A. nature B. limitation C. creativity D. usefulness

2.It is implied in the passage that ______.

A. local news used to be the only source of information

B. local news still takes a significant place

C. national news is becoming more popular

D. international news is the fastest transmitted news

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Possessing information used to be a privilege.

B. Public libraries have replaced the private completely.

C. Communication means more than transmission of information.

D. Information influences ways of life and thinking.

4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is _________.

A. indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media

B. happy about the flexible changes in the mass media

C. pessimistic about the future of the mass media

D. concerned about the wrong use of the mass media

Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. 1. Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.

Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings. 2. One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. 3.

Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. 4. It’s not easy to “unlearn(抛弃)” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.

We’re all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. 5. That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.

Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.

A. Believe it or not, we’ve all been there.

B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.

C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.

D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.

E. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.

F. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.

G. More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.

Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you’re unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means(方式) to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don’t have enough tastes.

Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.

Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm(热心,热情) adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.

Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you’re hungry.

Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but someone who likes a library.

Music like Mozart’s and Bach’s shouldn’t be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you’ve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.

Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, played a bit.

Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

1.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that ________.

A. though materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied

B. though materially rich, they remain spiritually poor

C. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life

D. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage

2.It can be learned from the passage that ________.

A. more money brings more happiness

B. art is needed to make your house beautiful

C. literature can enrich your spiritual life

D. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness

3.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Interest and Enthusiasm

B. Secret of Wealth

C. Rest and Refreshment

D. House of Life

1.___You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.

First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2.___ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.

Usually summer break provides teens with an opportunity to get away from the boring life of going to school, to visit friends and have fun with them, and to make a little extra money. The summer job market for teens can be highly competitive. Half-heartedly (不认真地)looking for a job is the quickest way to get turned down over and over. 1.

2. Look at the skills required for each. Then compare these skills with those you already have. The closer the match, the more likely you will enjoy your summer job while building a good reference for future jobs.

Understanding why you want to work will also help you determine where to apply. Do you want to earn extra money for something special, or do you need the job to make ends meet? 3. These are just a few of the questions you need to answer before starting your job search.

When you’re searching for a summer job, look for help beyond the wanted signs. 4. And even if a business doesn’t have a sign or advertisement indicating that they are looking for help, stop by and ask a manager. You might fill in an application anyway, which could lead to a position in the future.

5. Ice cream shops, restaurants, grocery stores and movie theaters commonly hire students. You might take a job that has less desirable hours or that you don’t necessarily enjoy. However, summer jobs don’t last forever. You can still build your skills and experience while making money.

A. Here are some tips on finding summer jobs.

B. Take time to think about the types of jobs that are suitable for you.

C. Be flexible and creative when you’re looking for a summer job.

D. If you are poor in math, you probably would lose your job.

E. Let your family, neighbors and teachers know that you’re looking for a job.

F. A good attitude towards work sometimes can make up for lack of skills.

G. Are you looking for a job where your friends work, so you can be with them?
