Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say ----- problem, I don’t want you in my life.

1. Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.

But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.

Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 2. Talking helps you move on and let go.

Write your problems. 3. When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.

Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 4.

Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 5. Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed. Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.

A.But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.

B.When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?

At the age of 95, Olga Kotelko attracted great attention at the World Masters Athletics Championships. This 5ft-tall Canadian became the oldest recorded woman indoor runner, high jumper and long jumper at the competition.

Olga now has more than 30 world records to her name and has won more than 750 gold medals. But she sees herself as nothing special, describing herself as just a plain Jane. As one of 11 children brought up on a farm, she has always been active, milking cows and doing other housework.

She has now outlived all her brothers and sisters and most of her friends but when asked what her secret is, she says there isn’t one. “I think your age is just a number. It’s not your birthday; it’s how you age that makes the difference. It’s your attitude to all the things that happen in your life that plays the biggest part.”

So can we all turn ourselves into nonagenarian (九十多岁的) superheroes? Research from Newcastle University suggests that as every 24 hours pass, we add an extra five hours to our lives — that’s over 2 months each year—partly because of improving living conditions and medical development. And in the UK the number of people who are living into their 100th year has nearly increased by four times since the 1980s. So ageing is not a terrible thing.

While Olga’s genes (基因) might help her, we’re not all prisoners to our own. After all, 75% of our later lives could be down to the lifestyle we choose to lead. A good diet (饮食) and regular exercise are key. Besides, developing friendships in mid-life also works. Dr Holland, director of Aston University’s research centre for healthy ageing, says: “The more friends you have when you’re 50-60 years old, the less likely you’re to be lonely in later life; the less lonely you are, the less likely you’re to be ill as the years go by.”

1.Olga Kotelko was well-known at the World Masters Athletics Championships because .

A. she was the oldest sportswoman there

B. she competed in several events

C. she set a new world record

D. she won a gold there

2.What did Olga Kotelko mean by describing herself as a plain Jane?

C. She was very active.

D. She was very common.

3. Olga Kotelko’s words suggest that .

A. we shouldn’t count our age up like numbers

B. we shouldn’t celebrate our birthday as we get old

C. we should try to have a positive attitude towards life

D. we should learn to change according to what happens

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that .

A. how long we live doesn’t completely depend on genes

B. Olga Kotelko succeeded because of her good genes

C. it’s hard for the middle-aged to make friends

D. it’s unavoidable for people to get old

What do Tom Sawyer and Jumping Frogs have in common? Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Twain was four years old when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with (使……入迷) life along the river——the steamboats, the giant lumber(木头)rafts, and the people who worked on them.

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of Twain’s best loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s. Children enter their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days. There’s also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It’s a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he makes them believe that it’s fun to paint, and they join in the “fun”. By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!

Although the story of Tom Sawyer is a fiction, it’s based on facts. If you go to Hannibal, you’ll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain’s boyhood home.

1.Which of the following statements about Mark Twain is TRUE?

A. He was born in Hannibal.

B. He enjoyed his life in Hannibal.

C. He spent most of his childhood on the Mississippi.

D. He often went rafting on the Mississippi with his parents.

2. Tom Sawyer Days were created ______________.

A. about forty years ago

B. in memory of a great writer

C. shortly after Twain’s death

D. to improve kids’ interest in reading

3.Who will win the fence painting contest?

A. Bob, painting the longest.

B. Julia, painting most carefully.

C. Jim, painting in the newest way.

D. John, painting in the shortest time.

4.From the white fence at Twain’s boyhood home, we know that ________.

A. the story of Tom Sawyer is based partly on Twain’s experiences.

B. the story of Tom Sawyer is based totally on Twain’s imagination.

C. Twain’s old house is painted by the fence painting competitors.

D. Twain’s old house is visited by people from all over the country.

Hu Li’s heart sank due to the color of the air. Driving 140 kilometers from Tianjin City to Beijing last week, she held her breath as the air became a charcoal grey haze (炭灰色的阴霾) . The 39-year-old businesswoman has lived in Beijing for a decade, and this past month, she said, brought the worst air pollution she has ever seen. It gave her husband a cough and left her seven-year-old daughter housebound (足不出户) . “My husband as well as I is working here, so we have no choice,” she said. “But if we had a choice, we’d like to escape from Beijing.”

The extended heavy pollution over the last month, which caused punishment in return for a day last week-called the “airpocalypse” by Internet users-has largely changed the way that Chinese think about the country’s air. On one day, pollution levels were 30 times higher than levels considered safe by the World Health Organization (WHO). Flights were cancelled. Roads were closed. One hospital in east Beijing reported they had treated more than 900 children for breathing issues. Bloomberg found that for most of January, Beijing’s air was worse than that of an airport smoking area.

The smog’s most threatening aspect is its high concentration (浓度) of PM

2. 5-particulate matter that is small enough to breathe deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, causing breathing infections, lung cancer and possibly damaging children’s development. The WHO has estimated that outdoor air pollution accounts for two million deaths per year, 65% of them in Asia.

1.Which conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?

A. Hu Li is living in Beijing.

B. Hu Li traveled to Tianjin for business.

C. The haze is harmful to people.

D. The pollution is the worst in Beijing’s history.

2.The extended heavy pollution has largely changed .

A. the way they traveled

B. the opinion about national air

C. the way they lived their life

D. the lifestyle of Internet users

3.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Hu Li’s Attitudes to Beijing’s Haze

B. The Damage of Beijing’s Haze

C. WHO Suggests Improving Beijing’s Air

D. What Caused Air Pollution in Beijing

China produces 58,000 tons of silk each year.Yet one of the most popular silk companies in the world is Jim Thompson, a brand based in Thailand.Thompson, a Delaware native, was trained to be an architect in the mid-1920s, but then joined the United States army during the World War II.He was soon appointed to the CIA and traveled around the world, including Thailand, where he fell in love with the people and their country.

Being aware of the potential in silk trade, Thompson returned to Thailand to start his own silk business upon his retirement in 1946. At that time, silk production was becoming weaker due to the slow collection process. To revive(振兴)the business, in 1947, he took a variety of silk clothes back to New York City to see if the product would be marketable to foreign consumers. He received a positive response, so the Jim Thompson Silk Company was founded in 1948.

After the establishment of his company, silk costumes soon appeared in Broadway plays and popular films such as Ben Hur, and Thai royalty, such as Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, began wearing silk often.Many also think his work contributed greatly to the Thai economy, since the silk industry continues to employ thousands of Thai citizens even today.

Jim Thompson’s success is no mystery.However, his disappearance on March 26, 1967 certainly is one.Thompson made a trip to Malaysia to visit friends and one day , ventured into the jungle (丛林) on an afternoon walk.He was never seen again despite search parties sent out by the Royal Army Air Corps and British troops.Many have their own theories on his disappearance, but none have been completely confirmed.

1.Which statement about Jim Thompson is Not True according to Paragraph 1? ____

A. He was born in Delaware.

B. He became an architect after the war.

C. He was deeply attracted by Thailand when he traveled there.

D. His company plays an important role in the global silk market.

2.Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Thompson? ____

a. Returning to Thailand to set about his own silk business.

b. Making a trip to Malaysia to visit friends.

c. Taking various silk clothes back to New York City.

d. Creating the Jim Thompson Silk Company.

A. a-c-d-b B. d-c-a-b C. a-d-c-b D. d-a-c-b

3.What does the author think of Thompson’s disappearance? ____
