The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with maths or American history. It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte High School.

I was rather shy back then, content to 9 around with my few friends and to concentrate on my 10 I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect scores and enough 11  to go to college.

But my good record soon became a 12 to my well-be?ing. In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me in?to his office. He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation. I looked at him, my heart 13 fast. This was the 14 for my hard work? I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office.

I was 15 about the decision, finally agreeing to com?promise. I wasn't the only speaker―I would 16 the hono?ur with five other students. Still, it was doubtful whether the task was 17 me. How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people?

Graduation day soon arrived and, as 18 ,1 was nerv?ous. I'd been practising my speech for days, and I had it

19 But I had never been so 20 in my life. The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my 21 came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the platform without falling down. But within minutes, I was 22 , heading back to my seat.

Now I still have the 23 of that speech. My voice trembled a little,but 24 it was clear and strong. I'm proud of that tape. I achieved something I'd never 25 I spoke in front of hundreds of people. 26 I didn't realize it at that time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the 27 to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually  break free of my 28

I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation. But I'm glad I did. I know it may well turn out to be one of my shining moments.

B [2015 •湖北八校高三第二次联考〗Imagine a house that keeps itself warm in the winter?time. Think of the savings in terms of fuel bills and unfriend?ly emissions. Such houses in fact exist, called "passive hou?ses". The concept of these highly energy-efficient buildings took root in the 1990s, before slowly consolidating as a niche construction (生态位构建)concept in the 2000s. Are passive houses now actively moving into the mainstream as sustain?able buildings?

For Brian McGarry, an economics lecturer who built a family house based on passive housing criteria in the Pyrenees this year, the arguments look convincing. As his first full winter in the low energy house draws in, we asked him to keep us informed. Do passive houses work?

I had never heard of a passive house in February 2012, when I purchased a plot of land. Nor did I expect that I would be persuaded to build a pre-constructed , custom-designed house based on energy-efficient passive house criteria. It promised to be easier and quicker to build, cheaper to run, and more comfortable to live in. The objective was to incor?porate the fundamental concepts of passive energy manage?ment into my project: an airtight and highly insulated build?ing envelope; large south-facing double or triple-glazed win?dows (if possible, filled with argon gas) that passively cap?ture the energy of the sun; a heat recovery ventilation(通风设备)system to provide fresh air; and a simple, low-cost heat?ing system consisting of a modern wood-burning stove, a bathroom heater and a portable radiator backup for when the sun doesn't shine and temperatures decline. No significant limitations were placed on the design, and it had excellent en?vironmental credentials (认证).Moreover, the cost was no more than a conventional build.

After six months in use, the house is proving to be both cheap to run and remarkably comfortable—staying cool in the hot summer was effortless, as long as the windows were shuttered or shaded from the sun. Now staying warm in the cold, high-altitude December climate also seems easy, so far.

Winter arrived in force in the Pyrenees in November, with abundant snowfalls and temperatures as low as minus 8° Celsius. Though early days, the house has responded well : the stove is lit during cold evenings but the portable radiator has not yet been needed. This type of construction seems not only to make economic and environmental sense, but to en?hance our quality of life, too.

5.We can learn from Paragraph 1  that passive houses

 A.     consume extra energy to keep warm in winter and cool in summer

B.     had been introduced for a decade before the birth of the theory

C.     appeal to both the self-builders and those constructors

D.     refer to a certain house comfortable, costly and also pleasing

6.Regarding the passive energy management, the houses have characteristics EXCEPT •

 A.     using south-facing windows to take in solar energy

B.     providing energy for taking a shower when it's rainy

C.     supplying fresh air with a special heat recovery system

D.     placing more demands and restrictions on the design

7. How did Brian McGarry find his self-built passive house? 

A. Very unaffordable.       B. Energy-consuming.

C. Comfortable to live in.      D. Awkward to use.

8. What is the writer's attitude towards the passive house?
A. Supportive.                B. Critical.

C.  Oppositive.               D. "Doubtful.

Eating different coloured foods can keep you healthy, as well as change your mood and behaviour. Here is a list of colours, which can change your life.

Blue/Purple

Blue is considered to be peaceful and calm and it has the same effect on our health. The blue/purple colour in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are an?tioxidants (抗氧化剂)that are particularly heart-healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure. Out of all the blue and purple foods available, blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level. An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Ex?amination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.

A food and health expert says that blue and purple colour foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.

Foods that contain blue and purple colours are: red?dish eggplant (especially the skin) , blueberries, black?berries, purple grapes, etc.

Green

We all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothio-cyanates, which help resist cancer.

Dr Ashok Agarwal , a food and nutrition specialist , explains ,"They are excellent sources of folic acid, vitamin K, as well as carotene (胡萝卜素).Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure.,,

Foods that contain the green colour are : broccoli , cab?bages ,cucumbers, etc.

Red

Lycopene (番茄红素)in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, and also provides protec?tion against heart attacks.

Dr Smith says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associ?ated with greater health benefits as compared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body. Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection, storage and cooking of the produce.,,

Foods that contain the red colour are: tomatoes and tomato products, watermelon, guava, red onions, red chili, red apples, red grapes, cherries, etc.

Orange

The orange foods are also rich in carotene, which is a particularly good antioxidant.  These foods are com?monly considered eyesight foods because they contain vi?tamin A.

Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in pre?venting cancer, particularly the lung and stomach canc?er. Foods that contain the orange colour are- carrots, mangoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc.

  A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offer?ing each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and de?pendable. The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的).

Actually , the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotion?al intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink, a less resistant soul.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence : when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ele?ments for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20 % ; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

1. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that

 A.     the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiments

B.     emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence

C.     candy can be used to measure a person's emotional in?telligence

D.     the ability of self-control plays a role in personal suc?cess

2. Which of the following is TRUE about EQ and IQ accord?ing to the text?

A. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.

B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.

C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.

D. There is no link between EQ and IQ.

 3. The underlined word " upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means "_________ ".

A. optimistic                           B. floating

C.  excited                             D. kind

4. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?

 A. Information about famous people with high EQ.

B. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.

C. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.

D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.

B [2015 •成都外国语学校高三月考] There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own idea of success to the ex?tent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactori?ly. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favourable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.

For some people,simply being able to live their life with the least misery and sufferings is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuc?cessful when judged by their own standards of success. Be?cause not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-con?fidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.

A wise man once said to a young man who was experien?cing frustration (挫折)with his own professional success, "You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in travelling. Sometimes one can be very suc?cessful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the sub?way downtown. " The man added, "You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been un?successful at something you really like,and to which you have given your best effort."

5.According to the first paragraph, what is implied as basic in achieving success?

 A.     Ability and goals.

B.     Goals and determination.

C.     Ability and environment.

D.     Goals and environment.

6.     Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because ________ .

 A.     their life is busy and miserable

B.     they haven't reached their own standards

C.     they set their goals at too low a level

D.     they are not rich in material possessions

7. From the last paragraph we can tell that_______________ .

 A.     success means achieving great goals

B.     success comes from great goal setting

C.     success means efforts and favourites pay off

D.     success has nothing to do with the distance of your travel

8.The purpose of the passage is___________  .

 A.     to give us a clear definition of what success is

B.     to talk about how to achieve success

C.     to state what our life goal is

D.     to discuss the importance of goals

If you are sending a text message, watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使..... 萎缩)the brain? research suggests.

A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex re?searchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices simultaneously could be changing the structure of our brains."

Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, de?pression ,anxiety and lower grades at school.

The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between differ?ent types of technology. This could mean sending a text mes?sage while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environ?ments and experience.

Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of Lon?don―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.

Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technol?ogy can have on our memory and attention span. The Univer?sity of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99, and found 20% had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.

  Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.

1.  The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2
means "____________ ,"

A. on one's own                      B.  at no time

C.  at the same time                D.  by accident

2. All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT__________ .

 A.     saving time

B.      a shortened attention span

C.      lower grades at school

D.     depression and anxiety

3.  What can increase grey matter densities?

 A.     Sending a text message while listening to music.

B.     Students' doing their homework.

C.     Taxi drivers' learning the map of London.

D.     Speaking on the phone while watching TV.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of this pas?sage?

 A.     Media multitasking is becoming more popular

B.      Multitasking shrinks the brain

C.      Multitasking may shorten attention span

D.   People are worried about their memories
