The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It me of how many people I've seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can't why people don't move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those situations in which someone doesn't even that the light is red, and just keeps going. That is why so many accidents happen! All these situations make me about the purpose of traffic lights.

However, it's even more to imagine letting people make their own at crowded crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next? I guess I do like the idea of a system to traffic. And I'll do my best to the traffic rules: to go, to be , and to stop when I'm supposed to.

It occurs to me that my have done much the same for me in of teaching me how to live. They have given me many lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to live with and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my doesn’t go astray (误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires. And there also have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to school regularly and work hard.

If I obey these rules, my life will be as as it can be. Just as I'm wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I'm walking the street, I'm wise to pay attention to the "life " given to me by my parents.

B

“Can I hug you?” community nurse Joyce Jebambula asks with a smile as she welcomes me back to her village. “Of course,” I say as I put my arms around her. It’s an unbelievable moment. Just at the height of the outbreak more than a year ago, there was an “avoid body contact” rule here. It’s now been removed.

One of the most challenging parts of reporting this outbreak over the past 18 months is that I haven't been able to touch anyone in the worst-affected countries. When Ebola(埃博拉病毒) survivors described in tears describing losing their families, I had to almost sit on my hands to avoid reaching out to comfort them.

The outbreak was declared over in Sierra Leone on 7 November. I returned for the celebrations. But despite reaching this long-awaited milestone, all is not well.

Ibrahim Koroma, 21, clings to his survivor's certificate outside the home. All 17 of his family are now dead. The certificate is one of his most prized possessions. "He does not pose any risk to the community" it reads.

Ibrahim tells me how his landlord has allowed him to stay in one of the rooms of his former family home until the end of the year. He says he doesn't know what he'll do after that. He does some part-time work, relying heavily on help from neighbours. His two little sisters and little brother died in the very room where he now sleeps. He says he often lies awake thinking about them, feeling very bad.

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the worst on record. In past outbreaks there had only been a few hundred deaths and a few hundred survivors. It was thought Ebola could live for only three months. But research has now shown it can linger for at least nine months. Scientists are still trying to find how long it could be infectious.

1.When interviewing Ebola survivors the author _______.

A. couldn’t touch the with hands.

B. kept comforting them with hands

C. held their hands to show sympathy

D. couldn’t help comforting them with hands

2.Ibrahim Koroma values his certificate because it_________

A. is a sign of his contributions

B. shows he is healthy person

C. has been the only one for patients so far

D. is a great honor to have it in his village

3.We can learn from the passage that___________

A. Ebola an only survive a few days

B. Ibrahim’s neighbours treat him badly

C. Ebola still influences Ibrahim’s life

D. there were once 17 people in Ibrahim’s family

The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).

It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Disappearance of African elephants.

B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.

C. The effect of African elephants' search for food.

D. The eating habit of African elephants.

2.What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?

A. Fixing the time. B. Worsening the state.

C. Improving the quality. D. Deciding the conditions.

3.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?

A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.

B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.

C. They are home to many endangered animals.

D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.

4.The passage is developed mainly by _____.

A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes

B. pointing out similarities and differences

C. describing the changes in space order

D. giving examples

I was with a group of businessmen, and we were dealing with a question—What is a good person?

At a certain point during the discussion, one of the students—a young man of about 30—described an event that happened at Christmas. He and his five-year-old son were decorating the Christmas tree, and a little boy came to the front door begging. If you ever visit Mexico, you will see that the people there take begging as nothing to get upset about and nothing to get embarrassed by.

So, this little boy came to the door, a boy about the same age as my student’s son. The father and the son went to the front door, and the father went back with his five-year-old son and said to him, “Give him one of your toys.” At the words, the little boy quickly picked up one toy, and his father said to him, “No, no-give him your favorite toy.”

And the little boy, like a little tiger, said, “No way!” He cried; he refused. But the father, like a big tiger in a way, insisted gently, “No, you must give him one of your favorite toys.”

And finally the boy, with his head down, picked up a toy he had just gotten. The father waited in the living room, and the boy walked to the front door with the toy in his hand. The father waited and waited.

What do you think happened?

After a couple of minutes, his son came running back into the living room, his face lighted up. “Daddy,” he said, “can I do that again?”

I think I have got the answer to the question.

1.From the passage, we can learn that in Mexico ________.

请阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

My mom has eyes in the back of her head.She also taught me from an early age to be suspicious of strange men, especially when they give you presents.One day, a “nice man” bearing flowers managed to steal 20 euros from her purse, while she was holding it in her hands.“He said he was collecting for a church charity so I pulled out a euro,” she explains, “He said ‘no, no, that’s too much’ and offered to look in my purse to find a smaller coin.He must have slid out that 20 euro note at the same time.I did not even notice until an hour later.I felt so stupid.”

According to neuroscientists, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket is not having nifty (熟练的) fingers, it’s having a working knowledge of the loopholes (漏洞) in our brain.The most important of these loopholes is the fact that our brains are not set up to multi-task.Most of the time that is a good thing — it allows us to filter (过滤) out all but the most important features of the world around us.But a good trickster can use it to against you.This kind of trick involves capturing all of somebody’s attention with other movements.Street pickpockets often use this effect to their advantage by manufacturing a situation that can not help but overload your attention system.Other strategies are more psychological.Pickpockets tend to hang out a “beware of pickpockets” signs, because the first thing people do when they read it is check they still have their valuables, helpfully giving away where they are.And in my mom’s case, the thief’s best trick was not coming across like a pickpocket.“He was a very nice guy and very confident.Not someone that would cause you to suspect,” she says.Apollo Robbins, a stage pickpocket, said smart move, like moving your hand in an arc (弧) motion rather than a straight line, is another popular strategy employed by tricksters.

At last, it should be pointed out that most thefts are opportunistic.The skill level of most thieves is far less than you think.But they are opportunistic enough to keep up with new technology.

A.People’s brains are not designed to multi-task.

B.People’s brains can filter out all but the most important features.

3.In the author’s opinion, _________.

A.people’s brains have many loopholes

B.thieves are more skillful than opportunistic

C.his mom’s losing money is nothing but a by-accident experience
