【题目】It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment.They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.

It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions(性情),but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are,as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern,by observing our own behavior.We can be strangers to ourselves.If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior?If our minds were an open book,we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover,we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—we infer characters that weren't there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us.We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make,people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance(符合)with their true desires.Therefore,we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice:"We are what we pretend to be,so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."

1According to the passage,personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to______.

A. determine one's behavior B. reflect one's taste

A. The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.

3What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.

B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.

C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.

4What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?

【题目】There's a lot of discussion these days about fit kids. Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical exercise, and has a healthy weight. If you're fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do. 1

Eat a variety of foods, especially fruit and vegetables.

You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. If you eat different foods, you're more likely to get the nutrients (养分) your body needs. 2

Drink more water and milk most often.

3 And there's a reason why your school cafeteria offers milk. Kids need calcium () to grow strong bones, and milk is a great source of this mineral.

Listen to your body.

What does it feel like to be full? When you're eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don't notice when they need to stop eating. 4 Over a period of time, it can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

Be active.

One job you have as a kid — and it's a fun one — is that you get to figure out which activities you like best. Not everyone loves baseball or soccer. Maybe your interest is kickball or dancing. 5 Find ways to be active every day.

A. Eat less and take more exercise.

B. When thirsty, you should choose cold water.

C. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.

D. Taste new foods and old ones you haven't tried for a while.

【题目】People who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.

Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.

Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)-not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity. They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线). Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.

So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.

1According to the passage, in the past most people travelled________.

A. for fun B. for knowledge

C. to get experiences D. to make a living

2How many reasons for travelling are mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. Three. B. Four.

C. Five. D. Six.

3In the writer’s opinion, travelling can be________.

A. expensive B. funny

C. helpful D. tiring

4What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Different kinds of travelling.

B. Travelling enriches our mind.

C. Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling.

D. The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.

【题目】We face problems in our everyday life.1Don’t worry. As long as you are breathing, you can solve problems.

Be aware of problem.

First of all, it is important to know and understand the problem clearly.2Following questions like why, what, how, when, where and who will take you to the root cause of the problem.

Analyze the problem.

Analyzing the problem will give you time to think of a proper solution.3They can be diagrams, flowcharts or a lists, etc.

Plan a strategy.

Planning a strategy will help you waste less energy and time in attempting all the solutions. This step includes knowing the pros and cons of applying a solution. In this way, you can abandon the strategy that you don’t find worthy to apply.

4

Leave out the information that is not required for the solving of the problem. You need to be accurate with the details. Keeping the unrelated information can sometimes complicate the simple problem as we tend to overlook the important information.

Carry out the solution

Putting the solution into effect in a correct way to get the result expected is important while solving a problem. You need to be creative while actualizing a solution just in case some other problem arises while applying the solution. 5

【题目】The UP Series is a series of documentary films produced by Granada Television that have followed the lives of fourteen British children since 1964, when they were seven years old. So far the documentary has had eight episodes(连续剧) lasting 49 years (one episode every seven years) and the documentary has been broadcast on both ITV and BBC.

The children were selected to represent the range of social economic backgrounds in Britain at that time, with the assumption that each child’s social class predetermines their future. Every seven years, the director, Michael Apted, films material from those of the fourteen who choose to participate. The aim of the series is stated at the beginning of 7 Up, as, "Why do we bring these children together? Because we want to get a glimpse of England in the year 2000. The shop assistant and the manager of the year 2000 are now seven years old."

The subjects are first seen on a group visit to London Zoo, where the narrator announces “We brought these 20 children together for the very first time.” The series, however, only follows fourteen. Because the show was not originally intended to become a repeating series, no long-term contract was signed with the participants. The interviews since 7 Up have been voluntary, although the participants have been paid an unknown sum for their appearance in each film.

Although the series began as a political documentary, it has become a film of human nature. In the director’s commentary for 42 Up, Apted comments that he did not realize the series had changed tone from political to personal until 21 Up. He also comments that this realization was a relief to him and allowed the films to breathe a little more.

1When was the fourth episode of the series made?

A. 1985. B. 1992. C. 2000. D. 2005.

2What was the goal of the Up Series at the beginning?

A. To research human nature.

B. To predict the future job changes.

C. To gather the 20 children together.

D. To foresee England in the year 2000.

3What can we learn about the participants in the documentary?

A. They joined in it for free.

B. They were not on good terms.

C. They did not expect a repeating series.

D. They were praised for their appearance.

4Why did Apted think the realization was a relief?

A. He could breathe a little more.

B. He could direct the films more freely.

C. He had finished the whole series finally.

D. He changed his idea about human nature.
