假定你是李华，最近你在一个国外的青少年网站里看到一个寻求帮助的帖子，内容如下：

Hi there，

I'm 15 years old and I don't know what kind of career I should pursue. And I'm starting to worry about it.

My school is competitive. Competing with my classmates， I'm under great pressure. In order to get high grades， I have to try so hard that I feel very tired all the time. Gradually， I lose interest in study， and I even fall asleep when studying.

Is there anyone who has experienced the same kind of problem and is willing to help me？

Thank you！

Depressed Maggie

Galaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute（聋哑）school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.

She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely.

They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.

Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.

As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100％ better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”

Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ‘‘I’m going to tell your parents I’ll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.

As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ‘‘This is Kazrim.” Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.

He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.

The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.

1.How did Galaxy and Kazrim get to know each other?

A. They met each other by chance.

B. They were introduced to each other.

C. They once studied at the same university.

D. They both served in a special needs school.

2.How did Galaxy probably communicate with Kazrim before she took him home?

A. Writing words on paper.

B. Using the sign language.

C. Judging from his expression.

D. Speaking her native language.

3.What can we learn about the two young people from the passage?

A. They fell in love at the first sight.

B. They cheated each other to win love.

C. They mistook each other for being mutes.

D. They ignored the anger of Galaxy’s parents.

Baby girls make their way to dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show consistent differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.

Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged nine months to 36 months. They were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were boys' toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.

Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent much longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choice.

Dr Brenda Todd said: “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”

1.Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because .

A. baby boys are much more active

B. baby girls like bright colors more

C. parents have an effect on their views

D. there may be a biological difference

2.Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with according to the study.

3.What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?

A.Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all．

B.Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls．

C.Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys．

D.The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is．

4.What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?

A. Adults bring about babies’ preference on purpose.

B. Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.

C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.

D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.

Uncivilized behavior by passengers unacceptable

For the first time, airline passengers have been blacklisted for uncivilized behavior. Their names will remain on the blacklist for one or two years, according to an announcement by the China Air Transport Association on Saturday. The blacklisting means they will not be able to travel by air until their names are removed from the list.

Blacklisting passengers who disobey the rules for traveling by air and so place their own interests before everything else, including safety, has long been overdue (迟到的，延迟的).

There have been frequent reports of passengers making a scene when their flight was delayed or when they believed that they were not treated as they should be on a flight.

Yet it is natural for some flights to be delayed because of reasons such as bad weather or mechanical problems that need to be solved. However, some passengers seem to take it for granted that their flight must take off at the time stated on their ticket, and they even assume that the members of the cabin crew are simply there to do their bidding(吩咐).

They forget that they should behave themselves in the first place and that respect is reciprocal (互相给与的).There is no reason for them to be respected when they do not show enough respect for others.

Observing rules can never be over-emphasized when it comes to flight safety. No one has the right to disregard the rules for any reason. Of course, airlines should provide quality services to meet the needs of passengers. Yet, even if passengers are not satisfied with the service provided, there is still no reason for them to flout the rules that are designed for the safety of all.

The blacklisting of these three passengers should serve for others to know they have to toe the line (顺从集体).

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Never before have airline passengers been blacklisted.

B. At no time should flights be delayed, whatever the reasons.

C. Members of the cabin crew should be at the passengers’ service at any moment.

D. If an airline passenger is blacklisted, he or she will never be allowed to travel by air.

2.The underlined word “observing” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. abolishing B. violating

C. setting D. obeying

3.According Paragraph 4, the author’s attitude towards some passengers is ________.

A. Tolerate B. Curious

C. Critical D. Neutral

4.The text is most probably taken from ________.

A. a research paper B. a newspaper report

C. an advertisement D. a flight guide

As you know it, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even cause social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grain output has declined because climate change. Then lots of farmland have been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Then how should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection or improve the ecology. On other hand, strict measures should be taking to protect farmland. And for the moment, I think, we should study hardly to develop sciences and solve the food shortage in the future.
