Everyone feels happiness, surprise, fear, sadness and anger at some time—these are the basic emotions. It’s normal to have these feelings sometimes! There are over 600 words in English to describe them and we use the muscles(肌肉) in our faces to express them.

  Emotions enable us to react to situations—for example, anger will set your heart racing, and feeling happy will make you smile. One of the key areas of your brain that deals with showing, recognizing, and controlling the body’s reaction to emotions is known as the limbic system (中枢边缘系统).

 When remembering an emotional event, you recall not only what happened, but also how you felt. Both sorts of memory can be caused by something you heard, saw and even smelt, at the time. Scientists think that you store early emotional memories, even if you can’t remember what actually happened.

Taking the time to recognize, understand, and express how we feel is the right thing to do. When we are able to express our emotions properly, we think hand act in a better way. We have better relationships with our parents, family and friends. We understand ourselves, and others understand us. And it feels so good!

  The way we feel affects our thoughts and actions, and it is impossible to separate our feelings from the things we think and do! Therefore, it is important to be aware of our feeling and to respond to them in the right way. Feelings like anger and fear are not our enemies! We should not keep them deep inside. Instead, we should understand them and direct them in the proper way.

阅读下面文字，完成下列各题。

鼎在中国由来已久。它最初是古代的烹饪之器，相当于现在的锅，用以炖煮和盛放食品。鼎有三足圆鼎，也有四足方鼎。最早的鼎是粘土烧制的陶鼎，后来又发展为用青铜铸造的铜鼎。传说夏禹曾收九牧之金铸九鼎于荆山之下，以象征九州。自从有了禹铸九鼎的传说，鼎就从一般的炊器演变为传国的重器了。国灭则鼎迁，夏朝灭，商朝兴，九鼎迁于商都亳京；商朝灭，周朝兴，九鼎又迁于周都镐京。从商至周，都把定都或建立王朝称为“定鼎”。 

鼎自从被视为传国重器、国家和权力的象征后，“鼎”字也被赋予了显赫、尊贵、盛大等政治引申意义。譬如一言九鼎、大名鼎鼎、三足鼎立等等。鼎是我国青铜文化的代表。它既是文明的见证，又是文化的载体。根据禹铸九鼎的传说，可以推想，我国早在4000多年前就有了青铜冶炼和铸造技术。

中国历史博物馆收藏的“司母戊”大方鼎就是商代晚期的青铜鼎，它呈长方形、四足，是我国现存最大的商代青铜器。鼎腹内有“司母戊”三字，是商王为祭祀其母戊而铸造的。清代出土的大盂鼎、大克鼎等都是西周时期的著名青铜器。鼎和其它青铜器上的铭文，记载了商周时代的典章制度和册封、祭祀、征伐等史实，而且还把西周时期的大篆文字传给了后世，形成了具有很高审美价值的金文书法艺术，鼎也因此更加身价不凡。

美学家李泽厚认为，中国青铜器以其特有的三足器——鼎为主要代表，器制沉雄厚实，纹饰狞厉神秘，刻镂深重凸出，是我国青铜冶炼和铸造技术最具审美价值的工艺品。现代汉字中的“鼎”字，虽然经过了甲骨文、金文、小篆、隶书等多次变化，但仍然保留着“鼎”这一事物的风范和形体特点，其物其字几乎融为一体，都有着丰富的文化内涵。鼎又是旌功记绩的礼器。周代的国君或王公大臣在重大庆典或接受赏赐时都要铸鼎，以记载盛况。这种礼俗在我国已传承至今。

由于自古以来，鼎就是我国一种庄严的重要礼器，象征着祖国昌盛、稳固、团结、统一

和权威，亦是和平、发展、昌盛的吉祥物代表，故在当今一些重大外交场合和国家的一些

重大政治活动中，都会由鼎来唱主角。

上世纪1995年10月2l日，在联合国总部纽约，为庆贺联合国50华诞，我国政府向联合国赠送一尊青铜巨鼎——世纪宝鼎。该“世纪宝鼎”是具有我国商周青铜工艺风格的艺术精品，采用整体铸造，一次浇注成功。鼎身高2．1米，象征2l世纪。姿呈三足鼎立，双耳高耸，满身纹饰。有金文：“铸赠世纪宝鼎，庆贺联合国五十华诞。”鼎底座高0．5米，2米见方，上铸56条夔龙纹饰，象征中华民族都是龙的传人。鼎的整个造型，雄伟祥和，气势宏大，古朴典雅，美观庄重。   

2006年1月1日，我国以法律形式规定免征在我国已征收了2600年的农业税。同年9月29日，河北省灵寿县青廉村农民王三妮的一尊“告别田赋鼎”问世了。这是一位普通农民用中华民族最古老、最庄重的方式来铭记这一千古盛事。

下列对“鼎”的说明，不正确的一项是（    ）

A．鼎最初是古代的烹饪之器，后演变为国家和权力的象征。

B．鼎最早是用粘土烧制，叫陶鼎，大约在4000多年前发展为用青铜铸造的铜鼎。

C．鼎是我国青铜文化的代表，它既见证了中华古代文明，又传承了中华悠久文化。

A．商灭夏，九鼎迁于商都亳京；周灭商，九鼎又迁于周都镐京。

B．周代的国君或王公大臣在重大庆典或接受赏赐时都要铸鼎，以记载盛况。

C．我国政府向联合国赠送了“世纪宝鼎”，庆贺联合国50华诞。

D．河北省灵寿县农民王三妮铸“告别田赋鼎”，铭记我国免征农业税这一盛事。

下列表述符合原文意思的一项是（    ）

A．商周时代青铜器上的大篆铭文记载了当时的典章制度史实，形成了具有很高审美价值的金文书法艺术。

B．“司母戊”大方鼎是我国现存最大的商代青铜器，鼎腹内有“司母戊”三字，表明是商王为祭祀其母戊而造。

C．李泽厚认为，鼎以其器制沉雄厚实，纹饰狞厉神秘，刻镂深重凸出，成为我国最具审美价值的青铜工艺品。   

D．“世纪宝鼎”是体现我国商周青铜工艺风格的艺术精品，其夔龙纹饰、三足鼎立造型均有丰富的文化内涵和象征意义。   

第二节: 信息匹配 (共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面一篇文章，文章后有七个选项，从A、B、C、D、E、F、G的七个选项中选出五个符合每一段文章主旨大意的选项。

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear． (56)__________．

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings．Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about． (57) _______________．

The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s．The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand．What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage． (58)_________________．

A good teacher works in quite a different way．His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so．The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class．He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along． (59)_________________．

I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written． (60)_______________．

A．Characteristics of a good teacher

B．Qualities of a good actor

C．What makes up a good teacher

D．What makes a teacher famous

E．It is not easy for a good teacher to become a good actor．

F．The image（印象）of a good teacher 

G．Duties of a good teacher

Dear Florence,

We arrived in India last week, and the voyage was the worst experience of my entire life. I’m lucky to be alive!

The first part of the journey was terrible, because the ship hit bad weather almost as soon as we left Liverpool. But much, much worse was to come. Later, we were involved in a collision with another boat and we had to abandon ship!

We had been at sea for about two weeks and we were in the Mediterranean. There is now a canal between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea called the Suez Canal, which opened last year. Our boat stopped at Port Said, the Egyptian port at the entrance to the canal. I remember looking through the porthole of my cabin and wishing that I could go ashore and visit this fascinating place, but mummy had ordered that I was to stay in the cabin because I was feeling ill. “you must stay here for at least another two days.” I remember her saying. How wrong she would turn out to be! The ship left the port and headed towards the canal . I was alone in the cabin and I watched the port disappear into the distance. Suddenly there was a loud bang, followed by the most awful crunching（嘎吱的）sound, and the ship shook and turned slightly on its side.

There was an eerie silence for a moment, then people started shouting. Mummy came running into the cabin and told me that we had collided with another boat. She took my hand and we ran along the deck towards the lifeboats. There was a lot of shouting and people were running everywhere, but the crew were all acting calmly, helping people into the lifeboats and telling people not to panic.

Well, clearly we survived, as did all the passengers and crew of the ship. The other boat wasn’t so lucky. It sank and several lives were lost.

I will write about the rest of the journey soon. Please give my love to Aunt Claire and Uncle Eric.

Your loving cousin,

Jane
