13．

In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning．It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous．In those days，there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers．Young men，or"stewards"helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers'luggage but they did not provide food and drinks．But then in 1930，a woman called Ellen Church invented the"stewardess"．
Ellen Church was born in 1904on a farm in Iowa．She was a different child．She didn't want to work on a farm or marry a farmer-she wanted a more adventurous（冒险的）life．Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital．For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot's license．
Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport．She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man's world．Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous，she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot．But she had another idea．Most people were frightened of flying because flying was still an unreliable（不可靠的） way to travel．There were often delays，many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick．Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B．A．T．agreed．
The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses．
At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes，but passengers loved the stewardesses．In 1940there were around 1000of them working for different airlines．The early"stewardesses"had to be under twenty-five-year-old，single and slim．When a woman joined an airline，she had to promise not to get married or have children．It was hard job and not well paid．They worked long hours and earned 1dollar an hour．
In the 1970s，stewardesses were not pleased with their job and airlines had to make some changes．Since the 1970s，"stewardesses"have been called flight attendants．They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past．

81．The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests thatC．
A．the word"stewardess"was made up by Ellen Church
B．Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane
C．Ellen Church was the first woman who looked after the passengers
D．Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane
82．From the second paragraph，we learn thatA．
A．Ellen did not behave in the same way as most of other girls
B．Ellen's family was not rich enough to support her education
C．Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital
D．Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely
83．The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job wasC．
A．her flying experience
B．her university education
C．her nursing experience
D．her life attitudes
84．According to the passage，in the 1940s a woman had toD if she wanted to be a stewardess．
A．be a nurse
B．be married
C．be a mother
D．be young
85．The passage mainly talks aboutC．
A．the background of early flying pilots
B．the experience of flying passengers
C．the history of early flight attendants
D．the development of airplanes．

12．Dear Liz，
My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life．
Life is busy and exciting．Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10  million and heavy traffic．I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside  the city．There are Mr．and Mrs．Phairat，their son Sanan，who is 18，the daughter Chinda，who  is 16，and Grandpa and Grandma．
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda．The school teaches about 70percent  in English，and 30percent in Thai．I've learned some spoken language，but Thai writing is very difficult．The cooking lesson is my favorite．I'm learning all about Thai food and culture．People don't use chopsticks here，but spoons and forks．When I come back，I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal．
Last weekend we visited some temples．We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok．I  thought it was great，but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they're taking me to Phuket  Island，where the beaches are even more beautiful．The month after next，we're going to travel  to Mr．Phairat's hometown in the north of Thailand．The Phairats own land there，and they  have two elephants．I'm going to ride those elephants-and even wash them．Sanan and  Chinda say it's really fun．
I'm amazed by everything in this country，especially by the elephants．Elephants are an  important pan of Thai culture and way of life．They have been a traditional symbol of  Thailand for many years in times of war and peace．In the seventh century，a Thai king trained 20，000elephants for battle．
I'll tell you all about my Thai boxing lessons next time I write．
Love，
Mandy

10．One day，when I was a freshman in high school，I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home．It looked like he was carrying all of his books．I thought，"Why would anyone bring home all his book on a Friday？He must really be stupid．"I had quite a good weekend plan （parties and a football），so I shrugged （耸） my shoulders and went on．
As I was walking，I saw several kids running toward him．They ran at him，knocking all his books out of his arms and he fell down．His glasses went flying．He looked up and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes．
My heart went out to him．So，I ran over to him．As I handed him his glasses，he looked at me and said，"Hey，thanks!"There was a big smile on his face．It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude．Over the next four years，Kyle and I became best friends．
Later Kyle became the top student of our class，one of those guys that really found themselves．Therefore he had the honor （荣耀） to prepare a graduation speech．On the graduation day，I could see he was nervous．So，I patted him and said，"Hey，big guy，you'll be great!"He smiled．
He cleared his throat，and began．"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years．Your parents，your teachers，maybe a coach …but mostly your friends．I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him．"
I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met．He had planned to kill himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home．"Thankfully，nothing happened．My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable．"
Not until that moment did I realize that with one small gesture you can change a person's life．For better or for worse．

9．The Great Barrier Reef（礁） in Australia is one of the most beautiful places in the world．It is the world's biggest natural living structure．However，the amount of coral（珊瑚） that covers the reef has dropped by over half in the last 27years．This is because of storms，bleaching（漂白） of the sea and a growing number of a special kind of starfish．These starfish take the food that the coral needs to survive，or they will die．
Scientists say that the coral can be saved if this type of starfish is controlled （控制）．They also say we must lower global pollution levels．If nothing is done，the amount of coral in the reef will go down a lot over the next 10years．
Coral reefs are very important for the sea．They make food and provide protection for young fish．But the Great Barrier Reef isn't the only one in danger．Coral reefs around the world are being destroyed because of the sea becoming warmer．In September，scientists said that a reef in the Caribbean was very close to being completely destroyed．An increase of acid （酸） in the sea is also stopping the reefs from fixing themselves naturally when they are damaged．
Unfortunately，coral reefs take a long time to grow back．This means that a lot of effort is needed to protect them．But one problem that can't be helped is tropical cyclones （热带气旋）．These can do a huge amount of damage to the reefs．The Great Barrier Reef has been damaged by six cyclones over the past seven years．

8．One day I heard that one of my dear friends had lost his mother．This made me sad，for my friend was very close to his mother．He had been by her side as she traveled through her long and hard journey with cancer．At this time，many memories about my loved ones that had passed away came to me．Finally these memories passed，but it was really sad to think that my friend would have to go through the pain．
Three times I tried to write all e-mail to my friend and three times words failed me．I am a person who is not often lost for words and I decided to have a sleep．Before waking up I could hardly wait for my computer to work，the words I needed were there．I was still left with a heavy heart although I had sent an email．
They say that everything in this universe is balanced and indeed it is．Three days later．I received his reply letter．1was happy to hear that he'd been admitted to Cambridge University．It served as a genre reminder for me that my friend would be okay and that life would go on．
Everything in life is balanced．Without the lows，we would never appreciate the highs．No matter how dark the clouds seem to be，the sunshine is always there and you just wait for the opportunity to shine through．

7．As a child，I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost．These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments．
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much．There was never complete darkness，but always a streetlight or passing car lights，which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal．Out of the corner of my eye，I saw the curtains （窗帘） seem to move when there was no wind．A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day．My imagination would run wild，and my heart would beat fast．I would lie very still so that the"enemy"would not discover me．
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost，especially on the way home from school．Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home．That was no problem．After school，though，when all the buses were lined up along the street，I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places．On school or family trips to a park or a museum，I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight．Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others．Being popular was so important to me then，and the fear of not being liked was a serious one．One of the processes （过程） growing
up is being able to realize and overcome our fears．Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life．

6．There is a famous English saying"You are what you eat"，and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you．Many experts （专家） use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit．For example，too much sweet food makes a person overweight．To avoid being fat，kids are told to keep off sweet food．However，a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food．
"When we say some people‘sweet'，we mean they are kind and friendly to us．Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts．"said Brian Meier，a scientist from the study team．"Taste is something we experience every day．What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste．"
In one of their experiments，college students were asked questions about their character-whether，for example，they were soft-hearted or not．Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food．According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer．
In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such ascookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren't．For example，people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city，visit sick children in the hospital and so on．
The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their tase for sweet food．So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful．Next time，try some ice-cream．

36．The underlined word"it"refers toB．
A．the sweet food
B．the eating habit
C．the American team
D．the English saying

B．Kids are told to keep away from sweet food to be fat．
C．What you put in your mouth will show your character．
D．If people want to be kind or friendly，they can try some sweet food．
40．It can be learnt from the passage thatC．
A．scientists asked college students questions about their future
B．scientists told college students not to eat sweet food
C．people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
D．people's character has nothing to do with their taste．

5．A teacher from America visited a school in China．In one class，she watched sixty children learn to draw a cat．The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard，and sixty children copied it on their paper．The teacher drew a small one on the top of the big one and then put two small triangles （三角形）on the top of it．The children drew in the same way．The lesson went on until there were sixty-one cats in the classroom．Each student's cat looked exactly the same as that on the blackboard．
The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was surprised because the teacher methods were different from those in her country．A children's art lesson in her country produced a lot of pictures，and each one is quite different from the others．Why？What makes this difference in educational methods？In a classroom in any country，a teacher teaches more than art or history or language．
In a country such as the United States or Canada，students are asked to work and find answers by themselves．The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas．In countries such as China and Japan，students often work together and help each other in the classroom，but the teachers teach，and the students listen．The students are asked to memorize a lot．They have to learn the same textbook，do the same homework and give the same answers．

31．Which of the following looks like the cat on the blackboard？A

32．The students inC are helped to find answers by themselves．
