  假设你的笔友Tony因上学期高三期末数学考试未及格而倍受打击，情绪低落。请你(王华) 写一封信给他，鼓励他重拾自信，实现梦想。

注意：1. 词数100左右；

2. 不能使用真实姓名和学校名称。

Dear Tony,

  I'm sorry to hear that you failed in the last final math exam,but what worries me most is that you are in low spirits when fa?cing failure. . As senior three students,we all have taken exams of differ?ent types and experienced failure as well as success. There is no doubt that we should take positive attitudes towards our set?backs. We should spare no effort to analyze the cause of failure,which could help us escape repeating the similar mistakes. Only when we find out the cause of our failure can we make progress in our study. As for your anxiety,I think doing some sports is good for you because it can give you some time to be refreshed in both body and mind so that we can go on with our learning energetical?ly and efficiently.

  I hope all above can help you a lot. Let's work hard together and turn our dream into reality.

 

                                        Yours,Wang Hua

  I will never forget the year when I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be 1        Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought ,“What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 2      ?” Just when I started to 3        that there would not be a Christmas gift that year,three women 4        at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 5       that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 6       Somebody had thought 7        of me to bring me a gift.

  Years later,when I stood in the kitchen of my new house,thinking how I wanted to make my 8        Christmas there special and memorable,I 9        remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 10        for as many children as I could possibly reach.

  So I 11 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child,we wrapped colourful packages filled with toys,clothes,and school supplies,12       with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 13      . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts,I 14        them that they couldn’t open their presents 15        every child had come forward. Finally the 16        they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One,two,three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages,their faces beamed and their bright smiles 17        up the room. The 18        in the room was obvious,and 19        wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling—the feeling I knew 20        that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

 I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight (货运) yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can slightly 1        the brightness of sunshine and what colour red is. It would be wonderful to see again,but 2        can do strange things to people.    ;

  It 3        to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been 4     . I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so 5,otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my 6        I simply mean that the loss of them made me 7      the more what I had left.

  Life,I believe,asks a continuous series of 8        to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments,the more 9      his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. The hardest 10      I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was 11      If I hadn’t been able to do that. I would have 12      and become a chair rocker on the front perch (门廊) for the rest of my life.

  It took me years to discover and 13        this belief. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was 14        at me  and I was hurt. “I can’t use this ,” I said. “  15 it with you”’ he urged me ,“and roll it around. ” The words stuck in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear 16      it went. This gave me an idea on how to achieve a goal I had thought 17      ： playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Over brook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of 18      We called it ground ball.

  All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them,one at a time. I had to learn my 19      It was no good to try for something I knew at the start which was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of 20      I would fail sometimes anyway but on average I made progress.

  Italy is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue. That is,except in the small town of Piobbico,the self-declared World Capital of Ugly People. The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone. People who consider themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s. That’s when Ugly Club president Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands. Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where long or large noses have always been considered beautiful.

  People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly,which occurs on the first Sunday of every September,hundreds of people gather in Piobbico’s town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20,000 members. They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme. A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.

  The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone,they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly people,on the other hand,are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody,according to Lacobelli.

  Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is,the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty,especially beauty contests,Lacobelli has a serious side as well. He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they don’t meet society’s standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.

(   ) 1. Piobbico is rather special in that    .

   A. it is a very small town

   B. it is home to ugly people

   C. it receives no visitors

   D. it is the capital of Italy

(   ) 2. Why is Lacobelli elected the president of the Ugly Club every year?

   A. Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world.

   B. Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable.

   C. Because he is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere.

   D. Because he has won the members’ trust and admiration.

(   ) 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. Ugly people are most respected in Italy.

   B. The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years.

   C. Ugly people are unfairly treated in society.

   D. The uglier one is,the better life he or she lives.

(   ) 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

   A. The ugly capital of the world

   B. The ugliest person of the world

   C. The Festival of the Ugly

   D. Beauty contests should be banned

Tom：Hi,Sandy. It seems that only half of the students passed the final exam.

Sandy： Really? The exam 1.        have been very difficult this time.

Tom： Well,I’m really 2.        (surprise) too.3.      (include) himself and Scott.

Scott was 7.        much better student than his sister,and has been working so hard for the last few months.

Tom： It seems 8.        (fair) ，doesn’t it? But,from 9.       I’ve heard,perhaps he worked too hard. He was ill during the week of the exam.

Sandy： Oh,I see. These things happen,sometimes. I suppose the teacher will take his illness into account and give him a pass.

Tom： Well,there is a rumour going around 10.        the head of the department is leaving.

Sandy： Because of the bad result,you mean?

Tom： Well,I suppose so. I’m not sure. Maybe Mr Smith is going to be the new department head.

  Women are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found it’s all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素) .Although known as the love hormone,it affects the sexes differently.

 “Women tend to be social in their behaviour. They often share with others. But men tend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status ,” said Professor Ryan.

 Generally,people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.

  But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.

  Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships,but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.

  Professor Ryan’s recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37.

Half of the participants (参与者) received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).

  After a week,the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.

  Following each treatment,they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures,body language and facial expressions.

  The results indicated that,after treatment with oxytocin,men’s ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved,but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.

Professor Ryan thus concluded, “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people’s abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behaviour differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly hormonal. ”

(   ) 1. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?

   A. Placebo.

   B. Oxytocin.

   C. The gesture.

   D. The social status.

(   ) 2. What can we learn from Professor Ryan’s previous experiment?

   A. Oxytocin affects our behaviour in a different way.

   B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.

   C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others’ success.

   D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people’s behaviour differences.

(   ) 3. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experi ment?

   A. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.

   B. To know the differences between friendship and competition.

   C. To know people’s different abilities to answer questions.

   D. To test people’s understanding of body language.

(   ) 4. The author develops the text by _________.

   A. explaining people’s behaviours

   B. describing his own experiences

   C. distinguishing sexual differences

   D. discussing research experiments

10. The statue was erected as a      (memory) to those who died in the war.
