I sat at my seat waiting for the school paper to be passed around. I waited anxiously, knowing that once I received it I would know how good a writer I really am.

When the paper arrived at my classroom, I nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. With the school paper in my hands, I returned to my seat. About a month earlier, I had handed in one of, what I believed to be, my best stories. I named it Symbol of Success. The head of the English Department at my school, Professor Cullen, had said that she would include some reviews of students' stories in the latest school paper. Professor Cullen was known for her rough criticism. Impressing her was very hard but I wanted to be the first to do so.

I sat at the edge of my seat as I read through the other story reviews. There wasn't one story that got more than three stars .I became calm and wasn't anxious to know my review. It was long after that I heard someone shout out "Five stars?! Seriously !" from behind me. I turned around and saw the shocked expression of Gene's face, "Peter, your story got five stars!" I couldn't believe what I had heard . I turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen. She wrote that I had a gift for story writing.

I was proud that I achieved what I thought was impossible. For so long I believed I wasn't as good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of writing skills. But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing. The review and the five stars meant the world of me. Those five stars became the symbol of my success.

1.How did the writer get the school paper?

A. He rushed ahead to get the first one.

B. His friend helped him get the first one.

C. The publisher sent it to him first

D. His teacher gave it to him first.

2.What can we learn about Professor Cullen?

A. She was very cold to her students.

B. She was hated by her students.

C. She seldom praised her students.

D. She was very gentle to everyone

3.We can learn from this text that Peter _______.

A. had thought his story was better than those of others

B. was always anxious to know the other story reviews

C. looked through a few stories that got four stars

D. didn't know he got five stars until someone told him

4.Why did the review and the five stars mean the world to Peter?

A. Because they helped him learn writing skills

B. Because they made him see his writing talent.

C. Because they helped him enter a key university

D. Because they made him happy for some time

Contrary to people's previous knowledge, it's food shortage not dietary preference that motivates birds to migrate thousands of miles back and forth between breeding and non?breeding areas each year, a new research shows.

“It's not whether you eat insects，fruits or candy bars or where you eat them that counts，but how reliable that day?to?day food source is，” said the study leader W．Alice Boyle of the University of Arizona.

To figure out the underlying pressure that drives some birds to leave home for the season，Boyle examined 379 related species of New World flycatchers(捕蝇鸟) and compared their sizes，food types, habitats, migratory behaviors and whether or not they fed in flocks.

To compare the birds，the researchers constructed a “supertree” showing the exact evolutionary relationships among different species.

A computer analysis then determined whether a particular species was migratory because it ran in the “family” or whether something in the bird's environment was forcing it to leave each season.Boyle and her colleagues found that food shortage was the number one issue that predicted a species' migratory behavior. “Food availability is the underlying pressure, not diet and habitat，” Boyle said.

An alternative strategy that the birds use to handle food shortage is to hunt in flocks, since a group is more likely to find a new source of food than an individual.

“If you suffer from food shortage, you have two options，” Boyle said.“You can either hunt with other birds or you can migrate.”

1.Birds were thought to migrate in order to ________.

A．seek their favorite food in a new place

B．avoid being constantly hunted

C．breed more young in a new place

D．adjust themselves to the changes of weather

2.What is Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?

A．The aim of the research.

B．The basis of the research.

C．The process of the research.

D．The findings of the research.

3.The passage implies that ________.

A．the birds' food sources are getting rare in the world

B．the living surroundings are severe for birds

C．birds search for food separately

D．birds can survive only by hunting in flocks

4.For what purpose does the author write the text?

A．Educating readers.

B．Informing readers.

C．Drawing people's attention.

D．Condemning the bad environment.

Last year，researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy，the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said.

1. Jennifer Freed，a co-director of a teen program，has another explanation. Turn on the TV，and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect. 2.

There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples.Humans are socially related by nature. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human — and having empathy is decisive to those relationships. Research ers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. 3.

Empathy is also an indication of a good leader.In fact，Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 4. “Academics are important.But if you don't have emotional （情感的） intelligence，you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，” she says.

What's the best way to up your EQ （情商）? For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others. 5.

To really develop empathy，you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a “sharing circle” with your family，or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

A. Today，people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.

B. “One doesn't develo p empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，” Freed

says.

C. Humans learn by example and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.

D. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else — both what they think and

how they feel.

E. Good social skills, including empathy, are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help

you succeed in many areas of life.

F. Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety，and fear.

G. Everyone is different，and levels of empathy differ from person to person.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

1. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?

A. To explain what they are.

B. To introduce BookCrossing.

C. To stress the importance of reading.

D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.

2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The book. B. An adventure.

C. A public place. D. The identification number.

3. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?

A. Meet other readers to discuss it.

B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.

C. Pass it on to another reader.

D. Mail it back to its owner

4. What is the best title for the text?

A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour

B. Electronic Books: A new Trend

C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back

D. A Website Links People through Books
