题目内容

It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long   1 , my friends and I had decided to   2  and take some extra courses. We had   3  the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was   4   into a stuffy (愁闷的)former laundry room and each night was a new   5  in humidity. Still, it felt   6  to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks,   7  , the thrill faded and   8  set in. I found myself sitting alone each night   9  my home and my parents.
My summer holidays had always been a   10  time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I   11  helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food   12  with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet   13 . Now I found myself missing them   14  than ever.
Finally when my   15  were at their lowest, I heard a   16  at the door. I opened it and was   17  to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my   18  heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating   19  , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the   20  that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.

Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.
1. Take pictures.
One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”. This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event, email your new contacts to let them know about it.
2. Eat alone in public.
You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.
3. Join a class, sports team, or club.
Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!
These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.
Tips:
* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.
* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).
* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!
小题1:According to the text, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining a class?
A.It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you.
B.It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby.
C.It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly.
D.It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city.
小题2: Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?
A.Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy.
B.Never turn down an invitation from your friends.
C.Offer suggestions on how to spend time together.
D.Always give a positive response to any request.
小题3:By writing the text, the author intends to tell us ________.
A.why you should change when you move to a new city
B.how you can make new friends in a new city
C.why you should make new friends in a new city
D.how you can keep in touch with strangers
A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog(博客)”.The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information,advertisements, advice and ideas for many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year. 
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products. At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service “weblogs. com”. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing. One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web-site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far. Ms. Blood says Rebecea’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything — politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on -line bank accounts.
小题1:The author wrote this passage mainly to _________.
A.introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”
B.introduce a short way of saying Weblog
C.tell readers how to write blogs
D.tell readers about blogs
小题2:From the passage we can learn that blogs cover almost everything EXCEPT ______.

C.advertisementsD.different ideas
小题3:Dave Winer closed his “weblogs. Com” because __________.
A.more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity
B.American companies used blogs to advertise their products
C.people stole money from on -line bank accounts
D.He couldn’t afford the increasing money needed to run the blogs
小题4:The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that ______.
A.it was created by a woman
B.it is about the history of blogs
C.it provides useful information and advice
D.it has editions in at least four different languages
小题5:What is the author’s attitude toward blog?
A.Objective B.Sceptical
C.Disapproving.D.Sympathetic.
Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind;
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, "Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional.network. You don't need to dress like you're going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together."
Lo go mania(品牌热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at.It's tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands.But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style.Instead of wearing logos head to toe, "walking advertisement"-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses.Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you're exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear; As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level.So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them.Sure, kittens might be cute, but they're not doing you any favors in the style department.Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!
小题1:The second paragraph indicates the importance of               .
A.impressing professorsB.getting on well with classmates
C.creating a professional imageD.dressing appropriately
小题2:The author believes that college girls should                .
A.choose a logo that suits their age
B.try to load up on well-known logos
C.use logos to show who they are
D.find their identity by trying different logos
小题3:In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?
A.Business Week.B.Parents
C.In style.D.Travel&Leisure

There is very simple way of measuring the height of a water-tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.
Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water-tower, AB, in a factory. We first of all go to where the water-tower is standing and measure a distance of, say, 25 feet from it. Then we take a stick, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.
Let us suppose the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water –tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 25 feet. We go from the water-tower until we come to point E, where with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water-tower in the same height line---that is, the top of the stick just covers the highest part of the water-tower. Every schoolboy can work out the height of the water-tower now.
Suppose that the line CE is five feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the distance BE is 30 feet. Thus, 5 is to 4 as 30 is to AB.
小题1:If we want to know how high a tall tree is,_______.
A. we have to climb up the tree
B. we have no way out
C. we must cut down the tree
D we needn’t climb up the tree
小题2: According to the passage, which of the following is correct?

小题3:It is clear from this that the problem can be settled by _________.
A.a child
B.the boy who has little schooling
C.everyone
D.a girl at middle school
小题4:To measure a water-tower in this way, _________.
A.no tool is needed
B.Besides a stick, tape-measure (卷尺) or at least a ruler is necessary.
C.we have to use nothing but a stick
D.we have to prepare a set of expensive tools
I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about them. Eventually, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.
小题1:What does the author value most in the communication with each other?
A.Deep understandingB.Saying “I’m Sorry”.
C.Attention from heart.D.Doing nothing.
小题2:The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because ______.

小题3: If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may ______.
A.hurt his feelingsB.make him embarrassed
C.encourage him to continue to cryD.stop him from letting out his sorrow
小题4: It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, ______.
A.listening is a perfect way to respond to others
B.people keep silent because they don’t know the answer
C.keeping silent means being too shy to speak
D.it is easy to form the habit of listening silently
Kids in the Kitchen
Some experts serve up some of the factors that make cooking with kids a pleasure rather than a struggle.
小题1:  
For obvious reasons, a grown-up needs to be in charge of the stove, sharp knives and electrical equipment.Dr.Colker advises parents to be watchful, even when their kids are involved in relatively safe tasks.The bottom line is to stay close by, and teach your kids to respect basic safety rules.                                                                
Leave Time
小题2:  When kids help, you’ll need extra time to teach them some skills.When you're in a hurry, give your kids tasks that don't require much guidance.As they get older and develop more skills, they will become wonderful helpers and even save your time!                                                                                           
Go for Variety                                                                                    
Our experts agree that children can enjoy more than the usual "kid food", such as chicken nuggets and pizza.小题3:  Sandra K. Nissenberg suggests exploring the produce passage in the supermarket and talking about the unusual fruits and vegetables you find.
Involve Kids in Clean-up and Table-setting
Dr.Laura Colker reminds parents that preschoolers are eager to deal with grown-up tasks.They actually "enjoy the clean-up and table-setting activities", she says.小题4:
