While getting ready for school today, my 16-year-old daughter came into my room to give me a big hug and kiss. I asked her, “What do you want?” She said, “36 Mum, you always tell us to have a good day 37  we leave the house, but I was 38 about who tells you to have a good day and lets you know how much you are 39.”
I am so 40 by the capacity of love and understanding that 41 my children. My 15-year-old son asked me last night if there was a(n) 42 for him to get a summer job this year in order to help us to pay our bills. 43, in our area, he must be 16.
44 of my children depend on me so much because I am a 45 parent, but just when I pay the 46 that I will not be able to provide for them, they come up with ways to 47. I completely understand that I will 48 have to find a way to pay the bills as I do not want my children to take up anything. But for now the 49 that they have stepped up and 50 to help without anyone asking touches me.
When my daughter was two, I remember rushing to get to 51, getting to the front door and asking her to 52 and come. Then she appeared at the door with a bag that she was holding open. I said, “We don’t have 53 for this.” She stopped me and said, “Fill it with love, Mum.” I 54 to my knees and hugged her and then kissed her. From then55 she would bring the bag and I would bring the love to the door before we left for school and work.

Before discussing different kinds of emotions, let us briefly talk about how researchers   1 bodily processes, actions and behavior, and how this relates to what we do in our daily lives when we observe emotions in  2  .
Bodily processes can be directly measured by   3  of a polygraph. (测谎器)When a polygraph is skillfully used to   4  how we react bodily with what we are   5 , it is called a "lie detector". Bodily processes can also be measured  6 . This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (脸红). However, we are not always  7  of what bodily processes respond to.
Measuring action   8  behavior is the other way researchers assess the emotions.    9 , one measure of fear of snakes is how  10 a person will go to the snake. Another procedure is to have a person  11  how afraid he is, or how he feels, in this way, researchers have 12  the so-called "fear thermometer" to assess a person’s fear.  13  our everyday living, we do very much the same thing. Only not too   14 . We react to what a person does, what he says, 15  he says it, and how he looks. Is he smiling? Is his voice trembling? We put all this  16  together to infer what a person is feeling.
  17 , we do not always act as we feel. Sometimes we do things that we don’t feel like doing.  18  we say we feel one way and then we act another. Actors, for example, successfully learn to "make believe" emotions, or learn to   19  them. Thus we   20  always tell what a person is feeling by what he says or by what he does.

Drinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap（水龙头）?
In America, people will include a case or two of bottled water when buying the week's groceries（日用杂货）．When they are going to a soccer game or activity, it's common for them to grab a cold bottle of water out of the fridge with them．In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, about 29 billion bottles a year．
But all these plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment．In order to make all the 29 billion bottles, producers use 17 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 months．
So why don't people drink water straight from the tap? Some people have a strong belief that bottled water is better than water out of the tap, but that's not necessarily true．In the US, the local governments make sure water from the tap is safe．There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may go into the water．
People love the convenience of bottled water．But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable steel container instead of plastic．
Some argue that plastic bottle recycling can help．Recycled bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or clothing．Unfortunately, only one in six bottles is recycled．The rest make it to landfills（垃圾填坦场） or end as trash in other places．Plastic bottles take hundreds of years for them to disintegrate．
Water is important for you, so keep drinking it．But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change．
And yes, you can make a difference．Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours．
小题1:How many cars can be kept going for a year by the crude oil used to make 29 billion bottles?
A．100． B．I,000．C．100,000．D．I,000,000．
小题2:Why do Americans prefer bottled water?
A．Bottled water is better than water from the tap．
B．Bottled water is cheaper than water from the tap．
C．Bottled water contains beneficial chemicals in it．
D．Bottled water is more convenient than water from the tap．
小题3:What does the underlined word "disintegrate" in the fifth paragraph probably mean^
A．Be well recycled．B．Become less poisonous．
C．Break into small pieces．D．Go down below a surface．
小题4:The author's intention of writing this passage is to recommend Americans
A．drink more water from the tap
B．send plastic bottles to landfills.
C．use water bottles to power light bulbs
D．buy bottles filled with water from the tap
Barbie(芭比娃娃)，believe it or not，is 50 this year and she's still as popular as ever.A doll is a doll，but Barbie illustrates how，over the last five decades，women have become a standard for judging what freedom really means. How women are treated in different countries tells you a lot about the politics and culture of where they live.
The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities in role playing，giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up，whether to be frivolous or serious (or both)．
But in many countries that's not an option. In Saudi Arabia，where woman can't drive or go out publicly unless covered，Barbie is banned. They think Barbie dolls are offensive to Islam(伊斯兰教) and a threat to morality.
In America，she represents the swiftly changing roles of women. Barbie is fun to tease but she's as American as miniskirts_and_pantsuits in her flexible identities and her “growth” from model to astronaut.
Barbie inspired a doll­revolution movement. When a Teen Talk Barbie was programmed electronically to say “Math class is tough”，she was criticized by a national women's group and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she's a bad influence because she's too thin and encourages anorexia，that she has run through too many stereotypes(固定模式)，and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child's play.
In some Muslim countries, substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote traditional values，with their modest clothing and pro­family backgrounds. They are widely seen as an effort to resist the American dolls that have flooded the market.
Toy seller Masoumeh Rahimi welcomed the dolls，saying Barbie was “foreign to Muslim culture” because some of the dolls have little clothing. She said young girls who play with Barbie，could grow into women who reject Muslim values. “I think every Barbie doll is more harmful than an American missile，”Ms. Rahimi said.
小题1:The writer mentioned “miniskirts and pantsuits”(in Paragraph 4) to imply that ________.
A．these are the only clothes a doll should wear
B．these are very traditional American clothes for women
C．there are a range of different life options available for women
D．readers should wear these clothes more often
小题2:The underlined word “anorexia” (in Paragraph 5) most probably means“________”．
A．an illness of refusing to eat
B．giving up math study
C．the wearing of inappropriate clothes
D．a decrease in people's imagination
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．children who like Barbie dolls won't be so serious when they grow up
B．Muslim Barbies are the same as American Barbies
C．Muslim societies are generally more conservative than western societies
D．Americans have no worry about Barbie's influence on children
It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难).
There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏) –bread, vegetables and other things – not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough plan and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital education or helping the old.
小题1:According to the writer, Britain is a country____.
A．which has regular snowB．which is not well prepared for snow
C．for which snow is not a catastropheD．for which snow is a wonder
小题2:The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____
A．trafficB．communicationC．food suppliesD．service quality
小题3:After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______
A．shops have closed downB．people buy as much as they can
C．farmers can’t produce any moreD．people eat more vegetables in winter
小题4:The first reason why the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______
A．spreading salt is good enoughB．old people need more money
C．snow ploughs are not used oftenD．the hospital is more important
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety…But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm．These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-Kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up．
　 “Storm chasing (追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby，especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July．A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop．
　  Although anyone can do it，storm chasing is extremely dangerous．The power of a big storm  can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds．Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain．If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm - chasing vacations during the storm season．
　  Even then，storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement．“Storm chasing is 95％driving，”says Daniel Lynch，who spends most of his summer storm-chasing．“Sometimes you
Can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen，and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
　  However，for storm chasers，it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm，it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life，”says Jasper Morley．“Every storm is an example of the power of nature．It is the greatest show on Earth．”
小题1:For storm chasing，the first thing storm chasers do is to　　　 ．
A．head straight for the center of the storm　
B．get into the car for safety
C．wait patiently for the storm to develop
D．collect information about a coming storm
小题2:Beginners of storm chasing are advised　　　　
　 
A．not to drive in a heavy rain　B．to do it in an organized way
　		C．not to get too close to a stormD．to spend more time on it in summer
小题3:By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph，the author means that　　　
A．storm chasing costs a lot of money
B．storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C．storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
D．a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
小题4:What can we learn from the text?
A．Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment．
B．Many storm chasers get killed in the storms．
C．Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world．
D．Storm chasing is only fit for young people
Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and ducks. In the autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to the ice.
One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “There is a goose out
there.”
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very iii, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.
Then from the dark sky, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared what life it still had might be pecked（啄）out by those great swan beaks.
Instead, those beaks began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the goose’s head lifted. Its body pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if it had cried, “I cannot fly,” four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice and held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they could go, and moved slowly into the sky.
This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moments, and from it comes only one hopeful question:“ If so for birds, why not for man?”
小题1:What happened to the Canada goose?
A．It was deserted by other geese.B．It was stuck in the ice.
C．It was wounded and couldn’t fly.D．It was lost in the water.
小题2: At first the author’s friend was worried that ________.
A．the swans would not help the Canada goose
B．the swans would have the same fate with the Canada goose
C．the Canada goose wouldn’t identify with the swans
D．the swans would peck the Canada goose to death
小题3:What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?
A．They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.
B．They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.
C．They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.
D．They stayed with it and protected it.
小题4:What would probably happen to the author’s friend in the end?
A．She stood there, watching attentively, still feeling a bit worried.
B．She was on her feet, laughing at the swans and the Canada goose.
C．She was embarrassed and went on with her breakfast silently.
D．She stood there quietly, not realizing tears had come down her cheeks.
For about a decade, I knew that I needed to improve my handwriting, but I always put it off. “My typing skills are good, my communication skills are good, and all my other abilities are adequate for the job I do and the life I live. Why would I need to improve my handwriting in such a modern world?” I thought.
I was sort of hit by the fact that my handwriting needed improving quite suddenly in the form of a note from my boss. Obviously one of the notes I had posted on the office message board had been misunderstood because of my handwriting. My boss demanded that I learn to write in a neat way, something I couldn’t ignore any longer.
I tried a lot of different methods to improve my handwriting. Nowadays, there are more resources than before. You don’t even have to go to the store and can buy handwriting training materials online. I tried out a lot of these, and my handwriting did improve somewhat. Now I make sure I form every letter correctly. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, but it is better than having my comments misread.
People come up to me and tell me how nice my handwriting is. I have never thought of that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enough. In the long run, I actually have to go to a handwriting coach to improve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years of bad habits that I have to break, and this isn’t something I could handle on my own. I need someone to teach me how to write clearly from the ground up.
小题1:The underlined word “adequate” in the first paragraph probably means “    ”.
Aclear enough       B. common enough    C. good enough  D. special enough
小题2:The writer made the decision to improve his handwriting because        .
A．he had planned for that for a long time
B．he was shocked by his boss’ good handwriting
C．he was often misunderstood because of his handwriting
D．his boss asked him to work on his handwriting
小题3:How did the writer try to improve his handwriting?
A．He practiced writing mainly on his own.
B．He practiced writing and typing at the same time.
C．He joined a handwriting training class.
D．He employed a coach to teach him online.
小题4:What does the writer think of his handwriting at present?
A．Unacceptable.B．Perfect.C．Worse.D．Better.
It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you it is your aunt's birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?
One of the greatest sources of tension(紧张情绪)between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.
However, at the same time，your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.
There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease(缓解)the tension.
* Make your plans in advance．Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.
* When something with your friends interferes(干扰；冲突)with a family event, try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.
* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.
Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome(结果). You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration(体谅)for the feelings of both your family and your friends, you can solve the problem in a tender way.
