A Mountain of Green Beans
Another envelope in the mail. There’s my name, Alexander Spencer, typed on the front. I throw it under the bed. The piles of envelopes are growing. The envelopes were applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend. I did open the first envelope. Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and …statement of purpose.
I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the pile began.
The pile scares me —it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.
“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.
“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,”she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.
When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.
My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.
“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”
She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.
My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.
Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?
1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.
doesn’t know how to reply
feels bored of the paper work
doesn’t want to attend college
has been too busy to open them
2. What does the author learn from the story of the green beans?
A. A good start is half done.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. A long journey begins with a single step.

3. What do you think the author will do next?

Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China’s higher education reform? It’s too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, 2011.On graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.
The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews. Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020.The goal is to make China’s higher education internationally competitive.To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.
1．Over 1,000 students and parents visited the school because .
A．they believe that the school will have a bright future
B．they believe the government is sure to approve the school
C．the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully D．they will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions
2．The trouble the students in the school may have is that .
A．the government will have no voice in the school
B．they won’t receive any diploma when graduating from the school C．other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school D．they will not learn how to be competitive
3．What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?
A．It is another kind of diploma mill.
B．It’s impossible for the school to be competitive.
C．It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.
D．Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.
4．What is the best title of the passage?
A．University of New Style. B．China’s Education Reform.
C．Modeling Hong Kong University. D．Authorized or Not?

(江西卷)Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible. Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin­offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non­stick pans
and mirrored sunglasses are by­products(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultu res have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

【吉安一中2014模拟】
阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，请根据短文后的要求进行答题。

（请注意问题后的字数要求）[1] One of the tough things about being a high school student is that you never Seem to get enough sleep at night, which often leaves you nodding off during classes. The best amount of sleep is about seven and a half to eight hours. Spending either less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping puts your health at risk.
[2] A popular solution to a lack of sleep at night is to take a “power nap” during the day, but does this work?
[3] Generally speaking, it can be beneficial. Research shows that a nap in the middle of the day—even a brief one as Short as five or
10minutes—can clear your mind and leave you with increased energy and improved productivity.
[4] But here are some things you need to know to do it correctly. To start with, every time you doze off (打瞌睡) during the day does not count as a “power nap”. The best time to take a power nap is in the mid-afternoon, when your energy level tends to decrease.[5] But how long should a power nap be? Ideally, it should be kept to between 10 and 30 minutes. Nodding off for five minutes does not really provide established sleep. If you, however, go into the deeper stage you will wake up feeling weak.
[6] However, refreshing as it might be, if you get adequate sleep at night, taking a power nap isn’t such a wise choice. The reason is that sleeping during the day can interfere with your body’s biorhythms. The brain gets used to going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day, and you don’t want to disturb this routine.
[7] One more thing to keep in mind is that a power nap should never be used as a replacement for a good night’s sleep. A p ower nap during the day is not like a tablet which will definitely work. An hour’s sleep before midnight is worth a couple of hours’ sleep after midnight. 76. What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 5 words)
