This way they can see how many different animals come to d【7】 during the night.

The students are encouraged to take care of the injured and small animals. If they find a dead animal in the area, they study where the animal fits in the foot chain and how and why it d【8】.

【解析】

这篇短文主要介绍了南非克鲁格国家公园南十字学校特殊的教学方式。他们利用自然作为教学工具，老师和学生走进自然和动物及植物一起合作学习。他们就是想通过这种方式让人们关爱我们的地球，我们的环境。

【1】句意：老师和学生不坐在教室里，相反他们穿过森林，或坐在树下。

根据前后句意相反可知，应该表示“相反”，故填Instead。

【2】句意：这所学校教这个国家其他学校所有相同的科目。

前面有提示词“teaches”，学校里所教的应该往“内容”，“科目”方面进行联想，根据首字母可知，应该填subject；same这个词是个干扰词，后面不能填单数形式，all the same…,所有相同的……，注意名词的复数变化。故填subjects。

【3】句意：老师和他们的学生们到大自然去和动植物一起工作。

根据本句中的“work with animals and plants”和下文中的“The school is in an area where animals live wild and can be hunted.”可知，学生的学校在野外，也就是在大自然中，故填nature。

【4】句意：这些能被用来学习任何事情，从数学，社会科学到语言。

根据后面的from...to... 是一个选项的提示范围，做的定语。可知是任何事情，故填anything。

【5】句意：例如这一天的第一节课是数学，但是教学方法是非常特殊的。

结合后文的具体描述In this school you won't hear a teacher saying "C___6__ how many apples Jane has in her basket."以及but都是关键性的提示词，就是为了突出此种教法与众不同，所以填写special。

【6】句意：在学校里，你不会听到老师说“数一数简的篮子里有多少苹果”。

根据本句中的how many和首字母C可知，表示数一数有多少苹果。故填Count。

【7】句意：这样他们就能看到在夜晚有很多不同的动物来喝水。

前面的提示词“river”很关键，同学们来到河边观察不同种类的动物做什么，结合实际生活中的常识，自然联想到喝与吃等相关动作。故填drink。

【8】句意：如果他们在这一地区发现一只死动物，他们就会研究在脚链上的位置，以及它是如何和为什么死的。

根据If they find a dead animal in the area这个条件状语从句中有个关键的提示词dead可知，这些学生会研究这只动物是如何死的，以及为什么死的，故填died。

【9】句意：我们必须使人们明白我们正在为环境/地球做什么。我们需要关爱我们地球。

根据上文描述可知，这所学校就是为了让学生走进大自然，从而保护我们的地球和环境。故填earth / environment。

【10】句意：我们需要关心我们的星球

根据上句话可知，学生学习的目的是为了保护地球和环境，当然也是我们的星球，根据首字母p可知，应该填planet。

【题目】 Most people need to hear those “three little words” -- I love you. Sometimes they hear them just in time.

I met Connie in the hospital where I worked as a volunteer. Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer(癌症), she was cheerful. I asked if she needed anything. “Oh, yes,” she said, “would you please show me how to use the TV? I enjoy the soaps.” Connie was a romantic. She loved soap operas, and movies with a good love story. As we became familiar, she said how annoyed it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman.”

　　“I know Bill loves me,” She said, “but he has never been one to say he loves me. I’d give anything if he’d say ‘I love you,’ but it’s just not in his nature.”

　　Bill visited Connie every day. In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps. Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill, who was a carpenter and made furniture. He and Connie had no children, but they’d been enjoying retirement by travelling, until Connie got sick.

One day, over coffee I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives; how we love to get cards and love letters.

　　“Do you tell Connie you love her?” I asked, and he looked at me as if I was crazy.

　　“I don't have to,” he said, “She knows I do!”

　　“I'm sure she knows,” I said, “but she needs to hear what she has meant to you all the years.”

　　Two days later, I saw Bill leaning up against the wall in the hallway and staring at the floor. The head nurse told me Connie had died at 11 a.m..When Bill saw me, his face was wet with tears. Finally, he took a deep breath. “I have to say how good I feel about telling her.” He stopped to blow his nose. “I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her…and loved being married to her. You should have seen her smile!”

I went into the room to say my own good-bye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill. “To my wonderful wife…I love you!”

【题目】 Imagine there is a glass on a table in front of you. It has water in it but it is not full. How do you describe the glass? "Half full or half empty?"

If you say half full, you might be an optimist. If you say half empty, you might be the opposite - a pessimist.

Optimism and pessimism represent your general attitude toward certain situations or to life in general. And your attitude about life may be more important to living than you think.

A new study suggests that your level of optimism may affect your health. People who are optimistic may live longer than those who are pessimistic.

Researchers at Harvard University's School of Public Health in Boston did the study. They compared women with "a general expectation that good things will happen" to women who were less optimistic. They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases, including cancer, heart disease and certain types of infection.

Eric Kim is one of the study leaders. He says there is increasing evidence that strengthening psychological (心理的) resilience may help prevent disease. Kim says that these new findings suggest that people should make efforts to increase their resilience and optimism. He says optimism is connected with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of dealing with difficulty. Optimists tend to take better care of themselves by exercising, eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep.

However, the researchers say that healthy behaviors of optimistic people only partly explain the connection with reduced risk of disease.

For the study, researchers looked at information gathered on 70,000 women in the Nurse's Health Study. This massive study began in 1975. It collects health information on those involved in the study every two years. The Harvard researchers looked at the level of optimism of the women, as well as other factors such as race, diet, physical activity level and overall health. They found the most optimistic women had nearly a 30 percent lower risk of dying from disease.

Kaitlin Hagan, another study leader, says earlier studies show that a person can use simple, low-cost methods to increase optimism. For example, thinking about and writing down the best possible outcomes for areas of their lives, like their careers or relationships.

Leslie Ralph, a clinical psychologist and counselor, has several ideas about how to increase optimism. She says each night you might plan to do two or three simple, enjoyable activities the next day, such as watching the sun rise, visiting a friend, dancing to a favorite song or reading a story with your child. And the counselor adds offering praise or support to someone can also improve your own outlook. A smile and "thank you" from another person may help you feel more optimistic.

【1】What do we know from the passage?

A.Relations lie among optimism, pessimism and a glass of water.

B.Good expectations increase risk of dying from disease.

C.An optimist is more likely to live healthily.

D.Supporting someone may receive praise of a pessimist.

【2】What does the underlined word "resilience" mean in Paragraph 6?

A.The ability to recover from difficulty or change.B.A way of thinking and reacting to things.

C.Factors that influence one's health.D.The ability to experience the sense of touching body.

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.To Be Optimistic or PessimisticB.To Look on the Bright Side or the Opposite

C.Increasing Optimism Keeps You More ActiveD.Looking on the Bright Side Might Help You Live Longer
