I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves，most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact，I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into，take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief，I，at fourteen，decided to become a writer.Here too，reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say，but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with，or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read，because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works，what doesn't and，in the end，together with lots of practice，
what voice he has.
Now I am in college，and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a law student，my reading is in fact limited to subject matter —the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road，all from the comfort of my own armchair，to experience，though secondhand，exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

6．What effect does reading have on the author?

Are you bad at math? If you answer yes，consider this question: Are you bad at math because you didn't study hard enough to learn the material or because you lack the ability to be good at it?
As it turns out，many children believe that they don't do well on math tests because they're intellectually incapable (无能的) of understanding the material.They have no reason to try harder，thus trapping them in a state of being bad at math.
Educators Miles Kimball and Noah Smith argue that this is a big problem.Kimball and Smith write，“Math is the great mental subject of an unconfident America.If we can convince you that anyone can learn math，it should be a short step to convincing you that you can learn just about anything，if you work hard enough.〞
Psychologist Carol Dweck took on the task of convincing a group of students that if they worked hard they could become smarter.The truly remarkable part of that study was not that the kids improved and earned higher grades；it was that Dweck noted that a few of the tough boys in the group were brought to tears，learning that the level of intelligence they could reach was limitless—it was entirely up to them.
Of course，not all of us will become genius mathematicians，but the majority of us can become skilled and maybe even good at math.As Mashable points out，while dyscalculia (计算障碍)，a math disability，is a real thing，only 6 percent of the population is likely to have it.For the rest of us，it's a confidence problem，or a lack of belief that with hard work，we'll improve.Thankfully，we now know better，and we can pass on that information to the next generation.

C．it's useless to put in the effort
D．they have understood the material
C[推理判断题。

由第二段“...because they're intellectually incapable (无能的) of understanding the material.They have no reason to try harder ...〞可推知，他们认为自己智力不行，努力也没有用。

]
9．According to Miles Kimball and Noah Smith，．
A．math is a big problem to deal with
B．most Americans don't like math at all
C．math is an important subject at school
D．one can learn anything as long as he works hard
D[细节理解题。

由第三段“...that you can learn just about anything，if you work hard enough.〞可知，他们认为只要足够努力，人们什么都能学(好)。

]
10．In Carol Dweck's study，the students ．
A．passed the tests easily
B．became good at math soon
C．didn't get higher grades in the test
D．know their intelligence depends on themselves
D[推理判断题。

由第四段最后一句可知，学生理解到自己是否聪明取决于他们自己。

]
11．What does the underlined part“that information〞refer to?
A．Math disability doesn't really exist.
B．Everyone is likely to learn math well.
C．Math cannot be ignored at any time.
D．Confidence is important in one's life.
B[判断推理题。

由最后一段“For the rest of us，it's a confidence problem，or a lack of belief that with hard work，we'll improve.〞可推知，that information指的是“每一个人都可能学好数学〞。

D
The home of the future won't be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today.But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams.No two homes will be the same.People will be able to buy “house kits〞containing a basic house structure，with movable walls，doors and windows.They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear，others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created.Skilled workers such as builders，gardeners and electricians won't disappear because machines can't replace them.Teachers will still exist because students need human contact.But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more at home.The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future，but these holidays won't be for everyone because they won't be cheap.Short space trips will develop first，and then
space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation.By the end of the next century，there will be holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won't exist in the future.Instead，there will be e­paper which people will be able to use over and over again.This will develop in order to save natural resources.E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and new articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear some time in the future.This isn't going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes.We will have to explore the universe and find another home.At some point in the distant future，either we stay on the earth and die with it，or we leave and move to another planet.There won't be any other choice.

B．it won't waste natural resources
C．it will be cheaper to produce
D．it will be convenient to carry

How to Make a Good First Impression
Have you ever met someone and walked away with “fool〞or “loser〞in mind? Are you afraid of being that someone and having others not like or understand you? Happily，you can get rid of these worries and fears by learning some effective skills on how to make a great and lasting first impression.Let's get started.
Talk about your interests and hobbies. 16．It is always a great conversation starter! Ask if they like a specific band or singer.The more you have in common，the easier it will be to carry on the conversation.
Smile.Especially when first meeting someone.It's not necessary to show your teeth，just a meaningful grin (露齿而笑) will do. 17，or people will feel you're being fake or that you don't like them.
18．Stay focused on the person you are speaking with and certainly not on anything else to avoid them feeling unappreciated and unwanted.Often if the person has an eye problem，like an eye that turns in，you're put off by this.Instead，focus on
the person's nose or mouth.
Have a sense of humor.Born funny people are just themselves and the humor shows.Don't worry if you are not a born funny person. 19．Don't keep serious all the time while you are talking to a new friend.
Be yourself.Don't pretend to be someone you're not，or you are stuck with that label forever.Be yourself.That may be what everyone says but it is entirely true！20．If somebody finds out you have been lying to him or her，they will be very hurt and it will be hard for them to forgive you easily.
A．Appreciate others
B．Make eye contact
C．Never lie to anybody about yourself and always be honest
D．Keep smiling when you are talking to a new friend
E．People who try to be funny can be funny if they try hard
F．Be careful not to change from a smile to a straight face too quickly
G．Ask the other person about what their hobbies are
【语篇解读】文章讲述了应该怎样做才能给人留下一个好印象。

16．G[前文提到讨论自己的兴趣和爱好，所以答案是G，询问别人的爱好。

] 17．F[前文提到微笑时应做到露齿而笑，下文提到否那么人们会认为你不喜欢他们，显然也是说的微笑时应该注意的，所以答案是F。

]
18．B[下文讲述的是眼神的交流，所以答案是B。

]
19．E[前文提到不要担忧你天生不是一个幽默的人，假如你努力想要成为一个幽默的人那么有可能成为一个幽默的人，所以答案是E。

]
20．C[前文提到永远做自己，不对任何人说谎，所以答案是C。

How to protect our environment
With the development of modern industry ，more and more garbage is produced ，much of which is hard to recycle.Many rivers and lakes ，even oceans are badly polluted.In addition ，many people cut down some trees to make money ，which has a bad effect on the atmosphere.Unfortunately ，some of us have done nothing but complain.
How to protect our environment is a major problem today.And most people are
very concerned about this problem.In order to protect our environment，we should deal with the garbage properly and we also should plant more trees.We should start a campaign and every citizen takes action.It is a long process，but we must carry it out.In a nutshell，it is urgent that every one of us do something about it.。
