【题目】阅读表达，阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

[1]Everyone has periods in his life when everything seems very hard, when there’s nobody to talk to and the mood is just getting worse and worse. There are some things that may help you lift up your mood.

[2]The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively. It is very hard, because usually when we feel depressed we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad character issues we have. But if you try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances of changing your mood into a better one are very good. _____ Instead, try to think only about the bright side of your life. Don’t forget: We are what we think we are.

[3]You should also try doing something only for yourself, something totally selfish. This could be something you wanted for a long time: maybe a short trip, a coat, a ring or anything that could lift up your mood. This doesn’t have to be extravagant（奢侈的）or costly. The point of all these is being good to yourself.

[4]Giving presents to yourself can lift up your mood. What’s more, buying things to others may be a perfect way to feel happy. Think of your friends, families, relatives or even local charities, choose one person and give him a gift that doesn’t have to be something expensive or big. It may be just a little toy to your poor neighbor’s child. Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind.

[5]Meeting a positive person should be very useful. Just try to keep your problems off the conversation. The idea here is to get out of your shell and have some interaction. Get involved with someone else and your mind will take a turn as well.

Mike was a small boy, whom hated soap and water. Three or four time every day his mother asked him to wash his dirty hands. Mike only put his hands in the water for the few seconds and then took them out again without really wash them well. One day Mike’s aunt come to visit his parents, but she brought her small son, Ted, with her. Ted, a year younger than Mike, he didn’t like washing his hands, either. When they were alone outside, Mike looked Ted’s hands and then said proudly, “My hands are dirty than yours!” “Of course they are,” Ted answered angry. “You’re a year older than I am.”

【题目】Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature．Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize．

Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received．Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns．

Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career．“It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication( 投身，奉献 ) to the short story,” said one person．

Along with the well-respected title comes 1．3 million dollars．Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way．”

Munro knew she was in the list——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win．

Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come．“When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world．Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday．

She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is．In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize．Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer．

“This is a win for us all．Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor．“But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag．”

She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang．But this may change my mind．”

【1】What is the feature of Munro’s stories?

A．They have complicated (复杂的)contents．

B．They have similar story backgrounds．

C．They have specific themes for children．

D．They have the same characters in each book．

【2】For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______．

A．her love for Canadian culture

B．her devotion to the short story

C．her special form of writing

D．her career of editing short stories

【3】What can you infer from the sixth paragraph?

A．Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize．

B．Canadian writers were respected across the globe．

C．Canadian writers have long been ignored

D．Canadians come a long way to win the prize．

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize

B．An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature

C．Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature

D．A world famous writer, Alice Munro

【题目】The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colors in meats and other food additives (添加剂) caused cancer.

Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包装）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin (青霉素) to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.

The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.

【1】According to this passage, we can know _____.

A. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat

B. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat

C. cancer was discovered in 1945

D. science has made food unfit to eat

【2】Things that are used to keep colors in meats are _____.

A. harmful B. useless C. helpless D. dangerous

【3】People use additives _____.

A. to make food more unfit to eat

B. to cause cancer

C. to change the color of the food

D. to take off the diseases of the food

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.

B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.

C. "The practice continues" means "things are still going on like that".

D. We needn't take care of what we eat.
