13．I'm a real book lover．Every time my friends visit me，my nose is buried in a book．Wherever I go，I always have a book with me．Novels，history books，stories about people，journals and news-I read them all and I've learnt a lot，too．For example，many things in life happen for the best even if we don't like or understand them．
Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime 娱乐 for me？I probably first learned about it from my parents．My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books．The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading．And it will be a life-long habit．
No one ever asked me why I liked to read．They just saw me and asked，"Oh？Is that for school work？"And I just shook my head，"No．It's just for fun．"While reading a good book，I can totally forget myself and fly to another world．It's like exploring through someone's eyes，which is just as exciting as watching a movie．
Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing，to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge．What a pity to see our imagination disappear，for we don't exercise it often．Readin can even be good for one's health，I think．Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!

25．Among the gifts my parents have given me，which is the most valuable one？A
A．A love for reading．
B．Picture books．
C．Good health．
D．A lovable pastime．

27．If we don't use our imagination often，D．
A．it is bad for our health
B．we will soon learn how to write
C．it will help us to have a good rest
D．it will soon disappear
28．What does the passage mainly talk about？C

12．Have you ever taken a test that you thought you could have passed easily，only to make some silly mistakes that really hurt your grade？More than a few students have done that．And some seem to do it over and over again
There are several problem areas that can cause students to goof up or do poorly in a test that they could have passed．
Some students can become overconfident in their knowledge of the subject matter．They think they know the material better than they actually do．It is easy for students to misjudge their own knowledge，and when they realize that they don't know the material，it is too late．
What happens more often，though，is that some students feel they are smart enough to be able to guess their way through a test．So they don't bother studying the material．They are overconfident in their ability to figure things out．In either case，overconfidence can result in lower grades in tests．Does this apply to you？
Another thing that can happen is that students underestimate （低估） the difficulty of the test．They expect an easy test，but the teacher throws in a real tough test that they haven't prepared for．Sometimes the teacher may cover material in the test that students weren't expecting．That can happen，especially if you weren't paying attention in class．
Finally，there are students who don't feel that getting a good grade is important to them，so they don't bother to study or even try to do well．Such students may be trying to punish their parents，have a poor image（形象）of themselves，or are just plain foolish．Hopefully，you are not one of these students．

11．Recent studies have shown that there is a link between anxiety and intelligence and it is a positive one．Fear allows you to react to a potential threat in good time．Being too happy all the time means that you don't think about potential problems．（36）GBut the response means that their imagination is highly active．An active imagination keeps you safe from threats．
The general belief about anxiety is that it's a negative thing．Because suffering from anxiety is not pleasant，most of the people who deal with it hope they don't have to．（37）CScience is showing that a little bit of anxiety is a good thing．
In 2002，Israeli psychologists ran a test on 80students．The students were under the impression mat they were there to appreciate artwork on a piece of software．However，the researchers rigged（在…上做手脚）the program．（38）ESo they were men encouraged to contact IT．
Finding IT brought new challenges．As the students left the room，they met various problems．（39）Dsomeone also stopped them to ask them to complete a survey．The test found that the participants who really wanted to reach IT to fix the virus had the highest amount of anxiety．The students who had less anxiety couldn't focus．They stopped to complete the survey，pick up the papers，etc．
Obviously，the anxious students had a greater sense of the threat．（40）BTherefore，anxiety can actually give us higher chance to succeed!

A．So when does worry become a bad thing？
B．Thus，they tried their best to achieve their goal．
C．But this does not necessarily need to be the case．
D．Some students came across dropped papers as they walked by．
E．Instead of viewing artwork，the students found a computer virus．
F．Often kids and adults with anxiety have a very negative view of themselves．
G．People with anxiety are sometimes responding to a threat that doesn't exist．

10．Born on August 9，1963，New Jersey，Whitney Houston almost seemed bound to become a singer．Her mother Cissy Houston was the choir（唱诗班）minister at New Hope Baptist Church，and it was there that a young Whitney got her start．
When she was 19，Whitney Houston was discovered in a nightclub by the famous Clive Davis of Arista Records．In 1983，Houston made her debut（首演）on national television．In 1985，she released her debut album Whitney Houston and almost immediately became a sensation．Over the next year，her hit singles Saving All My Love for You and How Will I Know helped the album reach the top of the charts，where it staved for fourteen weeks in a row．Houston won a Grammy in 1986 for Saving All My Love for You．
By 1992，Whitney Houston was on top of the world，but her life was about to get very complicated very quickly．That year she married the R&B singer Bobby Brown．At first the marriage was passionate and loving，but things turned sour as the decade progressed and both Brown and Houston battled drug abuse．
In spite of these growing personal troubles，Whitney Houston continued to progress in her career，crossing over successfully into acting in 1992by starring in The Bodyguard．Her single from the movie，I will Always Love You，proved to be Houston's biggest hit ever，spending a record-breaking fourteen weeks on top of the US charts．
In the late 1990s and early 2000s，Whitney Houston's increasingly rocky marriage，struggles with drug and health problems threatened her career．Over the next few years，Houston attempted to break her drug habit and divorced Bobby Brown in 2007．
After almost a decade of struggling with her personal life，Houston seemed to be pulling herself together．She released a new album，I Look to You，in 2009．The recording received a warm welcome from music fans．
In early 2012，Houston worked on a new musical film Sparkle with Jordin Spark．Unfortunately，Houston didn't live long enough to see it．

Good morning!Boys and girls，
As we know，World Reading Day which falls on April 23rd is drawing near．The purpose of the global festival is to promote reading and publishing．
Nowadays，a lot of students prefer to spend much time in watching TV and they are crazy about Internet．So，most of them don't have enough time to read books．And still worse，they don't like reading．However，reading is necessary．I firmly think that by reading，we not only enrich our life，and broaden our horizons but also learn to perfect our personality．Now that reading is good for us，let's develop a good habit of reading．I strongly suggest that every one of us should read at least one or two good books every term．At the meanwhile，we can set up a reading club where we can exchange what we get while reading certain books．．
