Katie was in big trouble. She was such a sweet kid; a third-grade teacher always dreams of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never a discipline problem. I just couldn’t imagine what she had done to make her parents so angry.

It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sit-down with Katie would solve the problem. But it was of no use. So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.

So the next day, I asked Katie to my office. “Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade?” I asked. “I lose it,” she responded. “Every day?” “Every day.” I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don’t believe you, Katie.” She didn’t care…“Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?” I took a new track. “No. I just lose it,” she said. Well, there was nothing else I could do.

The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “Katie”.

Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn’t go to the lunch line for a free lunch (A student whose family is too poor qualifies for a free lunch). He had confided in Katie and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents. But I did. I drove to Katie’s house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I have never seen parents so proud of their child. Katie didn’t care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her. But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.

Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.

1. The author thought Katie was a girl who ________________________.

A. often made troubles at school

3. The underlined phrase “confided in” in Paragraph 5 has the closest meaning to ______.

A. trusted B. threatened

C. helped D. blamed

4.What can we learn from the text?

B. Katie’s secret of lunch was discovered by the author by accident.

C. Katie was informed that her parents had known her secret.

D. Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered.

All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.

You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half?written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged” as she explained.

My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused (疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.

These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing？”was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

Now my_sister_has_developed_a_second?hand_love_of_clean_windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.

“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others,” said Professor Michel Claes, the lead author of the study. “Canadians focus on independence and negotiation. On the other hand, Italians, for example, exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”

Claes said Canada, France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors. “We chose French?Canadians because they share the same language as France, and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar, strong and important family values,” he explained.

The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.

Canadian students reported less control and more free actions, according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.

Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada, France and Italy.

“North America has its own educational values, which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy, on the other hand, promotes respect of authority, control, and the need for permission.” he said.

Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers, and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.

“We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time, while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness, which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”

1.Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada, France and Italy ________.

A．have the same family spirit

B．have some similar cultural traditions

C．have experienced some similar social changes

D．have experienced similar cultural developments

2.How did the researchers carry out the study?

A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada, France and Italy.

B．By collecting answers of children from Canada, France and Italy.

C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.

D．By questioning children from French?Canadian families.

3.According to Michel Claes, what mainly leads to the differences in parent?children relationships among Canada, France and Italy?

A．Educational opportunities.

B．Traditional ideas.

C．Educational values.

D．Historical events.

C．Italian children have good relationships with their parents.

D．Kids from Canada, France and Italy have closer ties with their moms.

When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine．But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed．Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well．In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo．

A placebo is a sugar pill，a harmless shot，or ail empty capsule．Even though they have no medicine in them , these things seem to make people well．The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better．How does this happen?

The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself．It is as if there was a doctor in each of us．The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it．But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body．Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself．These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine，then it will act as if it did，and the body will feel better．

Placebos do not always work．The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor．If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient，then the placebo is more likely to work．So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all．

A placebo can also have bad effects．If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine，then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo．This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body．Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used．They think there is still not enough known about it．

The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is．There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind．And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo．

1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The placebo． B．The bad effect．

C．The body． D．The medicine．

2.What do we know about placebo according to the passage?

A．It contains some sort of medicine．

B．It won’t function if you are negative about medicine．

C．People who don’t believe placebo can’t be healed by it．

D．Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body

3.Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?

A．The patient needs help badly．

B．The patient believes in the doctor．

C．The doctor knows better about your body．

D．The doctor has carefully studied medicine．

4.What is the best title for the text?

A．Placebo：Work on Your Mind

B．Placebo：The Most Powerful Medicin

C．Placebo：The Best Doctor

D．Placebo：Heal Your Body

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each horse looks like any other horses. But if you get a more careful look, you will notice something quite amazing.

One of the horses is blind. His owner has chosen not to kill it, but has made him a safe and comfortable barn(畜棚)to live in. This alone is very amazing. But if you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. It is coming from a smaller horse with a small, gold-colored bell. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow. As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse and makes sure that the blind horse can hear the bell, slowly walk to where he is, and won’t get lost.

When the horse with the bell returns to the barn each evening, he will sometimes stop to look back, making sure that the blind friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect, or because we have problems or challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in trouble. Sometimes we are the blind horse which is being guided by the little ringing bells. And at other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way.

1.If you stand near the two horses and listen, you will be amazed that ________.

A. one of the two horses is blind

B. the blind horse lives in an uncomfortable barn

C. God helps the blind horse

D. the blind horse follows the ringing bell

2.Which of the following is compared to God according to the passage?

A. The blind horse. B. The gold bell.

C. The owners of the horses. D. The guide horse.

3.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. we are always the guide horse

B. God will help those people in trouble

C. the blind horse walks faster

D. the guided horse is always with us

4.The best title of the passage is ________.

A. God and the Horses

B. God Will Help Those Who Help Themselves

C. Help People in Trouble

D. The Guide Horse and Guided Horse

阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A、B、C、和D）中 ，选出最佳选项。

Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi-fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.

Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk,” said Carpenter.

But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones, ” said Linet. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”

Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.

1.From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because ________.

A. they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer

B. they make a fuss over cellphone use

C. some experts have given a warning

D. cellphones are responsible for brain tumors

2.By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” Dr Martha Linet has the idea that ________.

A. the worrying is unnecessary

B. cancer-warning labels should be on cellphones

C. there is a link between cellphones and cancer

D. cellphones have nothing to do with cancer

3.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?

A. Optimistic. B. Objective.

C. Opposite. D. Casual.

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Cellphones: is there a cancer link?

B. There is a link between cellphone and cancer

C. A research on the cellphone

D. The cellphone and radiation epidemiology

Remembering names is an important social skill. 1.

●Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

● 4.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
