A bully(欺凌弱小的人) is a boy or a girl who acts mean (unkind) or hurtful to others, especially weaker persons bullies sometimes hit, kick, or push people, and they sometimes use words to call names or scare them. A bully might say mean things about someone, take a kid’s possessions or make fun of someone on purpose. Some bullies force people to do things they don’t want to do.

Why do bullies act so badly? Just to look for attention. They might think bullying is a way to be popular or a way to get what they want. Most bullies are trying to make themselves felt more important-when they pick on someone else, it makes them fell big and powerful. Some bullies come from families where everyone around has a normal way to act. Some bullies are copying what they’ve seen someone else do. Some have been bullied themselves.

Bullying can be a big pain, but you don’t have to let bullying get the best of you. Sometimes just acting bravely is enough to stop a bully. If you walk by and hold your head high as though you’re not afraid, a bully may be less likely to give you trouble. Bullies want a big reaction to their meanness. Acting as if you don’t notice and don’t care is like giving no reaction at all, and this just might stop a bully’s behavior. If you are being bullied, it’s very important to tell an adult. Teachers, principals, parents, and lunchroom helpers at school can all help to stop bullying. Don’t hit, kick, or push back to deal with someone bullying you or your friends. Fighting back just satisfies a bully, and it’s dangerous, too, because someone could get hurt.

Which of the following is advisable if you are being bullied?

       A.Giving the bullies a satisfactory reaction.

       B.Putting up with the bullies’ behavior.

       C.Turning to grown-ups for help.

       D.Acting bravely and fight back.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us      chasing the same thing.

One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell    . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I     the countryside for some place I could rent for the     possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road    the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was       , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner ,rented it, and      a corner to camp in.

The locals knew nothing about me,      slowly, they started teaching me the      of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began     to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a       American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of        .

What I had believed in, all those things I thought were        for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.          on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my        with my neighbors.

Four years later, I moved back into       . I saw many people were having a really hard time,         their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to        a handful of people .There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in         if we hadn’t banded together.(团结起来)

The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about       we can all get by together.

When we Americans shop at the grocery stores today, we don’t seem to be surprised at the sight of strawberries in the winter or perfect tomatoes from Holland. In the space of a generation, we’ve become accustomed to eating food that’s never grown roots in local soil. In fact, most produce(农产品) grown in the United States travels an average of 1,500 miles before it gets sold.

Trucking, shipping and flying in food from around the country and the globe has a very bad effect on the environment and on public health. Take grapes for example. Every year, nearly 270 million pounds of grapes arrive in California, most of them shipped from Chile to the Port of Los Angeles. Their 5,900-mile journey in cargo ships and trucks gives off 7,000 tons of global warming pollution each year, and enough air pollution to cause dozens of asthma(哮喘) attacks and hundreds of missed school clays in California.

The way we eat has a great influence on the health of the planet. By choosing to eat lower on the food chain, and focusing on local and organic(有机的) produce, we can reduce global warming and air pollution, avoid poisonous chemicals, support local farmers and enjoy fresh, tasty food.

People are rediscovering the benefits of buying local food. How your food is grown, stored, transported, processed and cooked can all influence how it affects climate and the environment. Transportation-related influences are particularly important for imported foods. NRDC calculated the transportation influences of importing fresh produce and wine widely consumed in California. They directly compared the climate and air quality influenced by importing these foods instead of growing and consuming them in California. Their analysis shows that—all else being equal—locally grown foods are a better choice.

72. From the passage we can learn that most produce sold at the grocery stores in the US     .

A. is grown by local farmers                          B. is from foreign countries

C. comes from far away                              D. is out of season

73. What would be the effect of transportation of foods?

A. It pollutes the foods during the transportation.

B. It makes the cost of the foods much higher.

C. It makes the foods less fresh and tasteless.

D. It causes air pollution and global warming.

74. Which of the following may have a bad effect on the health of the planet?

A. Eating higher on the food chain.                 B. Eating locally grown foods.

C. Eating more organic produce.                   D. Eating fresh and tasty foods.

75. The main purpose of the passage is         .

A. to help the local farmers grow and sell their produce

B. to tell people that imported foods are less healthy

C. to warn people of the harmfulness of food transportation

D. to get local people to reject the imported foods

 

“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to.

Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump(树桩) for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.

A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s not about going to a temple to burn some incense(香) hopes that the gods will give you good fortune; it’s practical advice you can follow each day.

Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups; those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.

It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day.

I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners, my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not.

As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem.

Finally, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.
