4.Have you ever been afraid?Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster?Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test,or your palms(手掌) sweat when it's your turn to give your report in front of the class.Perhaps you   get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully (欺负人的人) who chooses you.
We all have fears sometimes.That's true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be.Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn.And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard.Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet.Some people even enjoy being a little scared (恐惧的).That's why they like to watch scary movies.
Usually,our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear.However,sometimes this happens when there doesn't seem to be anything to be frightened about.When you feel scared but there doesn't seem to be a clear reason,that's called anxiety (焦虑).For some kids,the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time.For others,it might appear only at certain times,like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere.For some people,this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.
Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do.Your parents can take you to a doctor,who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious.But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself.

15.Some people believe the world will come to an end if they say"no".Thoughts that stop us from saying"no"include:"If I say‘no',everyone will hate me.People will think I'm rude."Saying"no"to people you will harm them in some terrible way.
None of the above will happen if you say"no".People don't really care that much!Imagine someone asking to wear your new jacket and you say"no".Even if that person asks why,you can be honest and tell her you've decided not to lend it out.You don't have to apologize or make up excuses.Imagine you ask your friend for a lift and he says,"Sorry,the car's full already."Do you feel hurt?The fact is that the car's full.That's all.
That doesn't mean it's always easy to say"no",especially when you care about the person.Here are some confident ways of saying"no"that don't sound rude.How about saying,"I'll get to my homework right now.""I really don't have time to do that now.Can you get someone else to do it for you?"
If you act like it's no big deal to say"no",and just stay relaxed,then it doesn't have to be that important for the other person to get you to say"yes".If you're at a party and someone hands you a beer,you can pass it on to the next person,or calmly say"no thanks".
Using humor is a good idea to avoid doing something you don't want to do.But if using nice jokes isn't easy for you,the following TIPS may help:Make an Excuse:It makes me throw up; Avoid It:I'm going to be late; we'd better hurry; Pour It on:Are you serious?I can't believe you said that!Switch Directions:Wait.I have to tell you about what Jenny said to me.

12.There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life,one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things,persons,events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things:the pleasant parts of conversation,the well prepared dishes,the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore,they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks,they sour the pleasure of society,offend (hurt) many people,and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature,such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).It grows into a habit,unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong,but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them,and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination,it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them,and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune,nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselves public objections,no one will defend or excuse them,and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not,it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them.Otherwise,it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
71.People who are unhappyD.
A.always consider things differently from others
B.usually are affected by the results of certain things
C.usually misunderstand what others think or say
D.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
72.The underlined phrase"sour the pleasure of society"in Paragraph 2 most nearly means"B".
A.have a good taste with social life

D.enjoy the pleasure of life
73.We can conclude from the passage thatC.
A.we should pity all such unhappy people
B.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C.people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D.unhappy people can not understand happy persons
74.If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit,the author suggests that people shouldA.
A.prevent any communication with them    
B.show no respect and politeness to them
C.persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

B.laughs at the unhappy people
C.suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness

19.Modern zoos are different from those built fifty years ago.At that time zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world.The animals lived in cages with iron bars.Although the zoo keepers took good care of them,many of the animals did not feel comfortable,and they often fell ill.
In modern zoos,people can see animals in more natural conditions.The animals are given more freedom in larger places so that they can live as they would in nature.Even the appearance of zoos has changed.Trees and grass grow in cages,and water flows through the places the animals live in.There are few bars; instead,there is often a deep ditch,filled with water,which surrounds a space where several sorts of animals live together as they would naturally.In an American zoo,the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees,some small animals and many birds,and large enough for the birds to live naturally.In a zoo in New York,with the use of special night light,people can observe certain animals that are active only at night,when most zoos are closed.Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water.
Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors,but also keep and save rare animals.For this reason,fifty years from now,the grandchildren of today's visitors will be able to enjoy watching these animals.

56.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?D
A.American Zoos.       B.Wild Animals.
C.Protecting Animals.  D.Modern Zoos.
57.In modern zoos,A.
A.animals have more freedom
B.animals are no longer taken good care of
C.different kinds of animals are kept separately
D.visitors can walk wherever they like
58.The biggest difference between modern zoos and zoos in the past isC.
A.modern zoos are larger
B.modern zoos have more animals
C.modern zoos provide natural living conditions for animals
D.modern zoos do not have keepers

A.a zoo in Now York is only open at night.
B.Americans spent more money in building zoos 50years ago
C.zoos fifty years later will be different from what they are today
D.modern zoos play an important part in protecting rare animals.

13.New research finds a link between poverty and poor decision making.The findings may explain why poor people sometimes make bad choices that continue their hardship.
Earlier studies have found the poor less likely to escape poverty.But there has been little research on why the poor make decisions that make their lives harder.Until recently,it was economists who studied poverty,not psychologists.Eldar Shafir,a psychologist in Princeton University says now scientists from both fields work together.Mr.Shafir and his team did two experiments.One took place at a shopping center in New Jersey.Another was carried out among sugar cane farmers in rural India.
The New Jersey experiment involved individuals with low paying jobs and others belonged to the middle class.All the volunteers were asked what they would do if their cars needed repairs.
The volunteers were given two imaginary situations.In the first,the car repairs cost﹩150.In the second,﹩1,500.
"And what we found is that the poor and the rich performed equally well on almost all the tests."
Not so when the researchers raised the repair costs to﹩1,500.
"Now the poor performed significantly worse."The poorer lost about 13IQ points on average.This is about the loss experienced when a person has not slept for one night.
The scientists then wondered if the same person reacted differently when he was rich and when he was poor.The Indian sugar cane farmers earn most of their money once a year,when the harvest comes in.But the money often does not last through the year.
"So they find themselves basically rich after the harvest when the income comes in and poor just before the harvest.
The researchers gave them tests similar to the ones taken by the people in New Jersey.They tested the Indian farmers before the harvest and after.
And the results were much the same as with the mall shoppers.
"They performed much more slowly and with many more mistakes when they were poorer than when they were richer."
Mr.Shafir says the results support 50years of research that shows all humans have limited mental power to deal with things in life.
"And so the insight here is that,having not enough of something in a way makes it harder to make good decisions for everything else."

61.What is true about earlier studies?B
A.They were done by economists and psychologists.
B.They found it hard for poor people to become rich.
C.They explained why poor people made poor decisions.
D.They showed the poor people cared less about their health.
62.In the first experiment,the poor performed worse becauseC
A.they had not slept for one night
B.it was just an imaginary situation
C.the increased price affected their decision
D.they didn't take the second situation seriously
63.The Indian sugar cane farmersD
A.are smarter when they are poor
B.earn money all through the year
C.earn lots of money so they think they are rich
D.feel rich after the harvest and poor before harvest
64.What do the two experiments have in common?A
A.They got similar findings.
B.They were carried out in the rural areas.
C.They were carried out by economists only.
D.They chose two groups of people with different income.
65.What could be the best title for the passage?C
A.Once poor,always poor?
B.Why are poor people poorer?
C.Poverty weakens brain power.
D.Different experiments,different findings.
