American businessman Robert P McCulloch bought the bridge for $2.5 million in 1968 and moved it—stone by stone—across the Atlantic Ocean．He rebuilt it in Lake Havasu City，Arizona—a small town in the middle of the desert，where the temperature is often more than 40 degrees．Nowadays，thousands of tourists come to see the bridge，and there is an English village with watersports facilities，shops and restaurants．The Guggenheim MuseumsThere are not one but five Guggenheim Museums．Solomon R Guggenheim opened the first collection of modern art in New York in 1959．Another museum opened in Italy，and then，in 1997，two more Guggenheims opened：one in Berlin and the other in the Basque city of Bilbao，in the north-west of Spain．It is now one of Spain’s biggest tourist attractions，and every year hundreds of thousands of people come to see the paintings and other works of art．The newest Guggenheimmuseum is the Virtual Museum--the world’s bigge st Internet art gallery(美术馆)．72．What degrees is the usual water temperature of the Blue Lagoon?73．How much did McCulloch pay for the bridge?74．Where will you go if you want to enjoy paintings and other works of art?75．Which place is the hottest in the text?（34）Imagine this：a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper．You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show．Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye，but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled．Nanotechnology(纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way，and it is being studied and developed all over the world．Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命)．Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science．Imagine nanobots(纳米机器人) in medicine．Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks．For example，they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒)．Other machines may stay in the human body for ever to heap organs(器官) that are not working properly．When could all of these happen?

Students in Kunming Xinying Middle School have some good ideas．Recently fifty-four students of the school held an activity in which they made their own environmentally-friendly shopping bags．Most students used old clothes to make their bags．They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them．But Wang Shuncheng，a Junior 2 boy，chose a different material(材料)．He made his bag with old newspaper．Is a newspaper bag strong enough to hold shopping? Wang says it is，“No problem．I put six bottles of water in the bag，”he said．“It’s strong enough!”Chen Lisi，a girl，had a more traditional way to make her bag—she wove(编织) a bamboo bag．It was not an easy job．With her grandfather’s help．Chen spent a whole afternoon making it．She also wove wool(毛线)flowers on the bag．Making bags was not all the students did．They had another job：to persuade their parents and relatives to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags instead of plastic ones．The school will show the bags so that shops and stores can get some ideas from the students’ work．61．From the passage we know that ________．A．plastic bags have not been used in supermarkets for some timeB．plastic bags cannot be bought from most supermarketsC．most supermarkets will stop providing free plastic bagsD．people must bring their own bags when they do shopping in supermarkets．62．Besides the plastic bags，________ other kinds of bags are mentioned in the passage．A．two B．three C. four D．five63．The main purpose of the activity is ________．A．to teach the students how to make more shopping bagsB．to get the students to learn to do things by themselvesC．to give the students an environmental protection lessonD．to get their parents and relatives to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags64．The underlined word“persuade”in the last paragraph probably means ________．A．劝说B．指导C．命令D．监督65．The school will show the bags in order to ________．A．encourage the studentsB．make some moneyC．get some work for the studentsD．give some ideas to shops and stores（31）61-65．CBACD（32）35-38．ABBD（33）72．Between 35 and 40 degrees. 73．$ 2.5 million74．To the Guggenheim Museums. 75．Arizona.（34）61-65．CADBC（35）51-55．AACBC（36）61-65．CBCAD。

jobs：she served coffee in the student union，was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service．But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs．One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer．The woman seemed anxious．Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books theycould order．The woman left the store less worried，and Gloria

family could not afford an operation，and the boy lived in shame，hiding his hand in his pocket all the time．Gloria persuaded(说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story．After the story was broadcast，some doctors called，offering to perform the operation for free．Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation．The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say，“Thank you．”What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!At Smith's bookstore，Gloria always realized she was working for the customers，not the store．Today it's the same．The TV station pays

chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin(白皙皮肤)，my legs were very white．In the UK this is not a fashionable look at all．Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin．The darker the skin，the better the look．I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!As I walked around one shop．two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time，talking quietly to each other in Chinese．I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave．After we left the shop，she asked me what was wrong．I complained(抱怨) about the shop

Sun cream starts to work immediately.BIn 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(行李)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 1904 on 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 studie d 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 hospitalbut 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 unr eliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),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 1940 there were around 1000 of 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 longhours and earned ＄1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in 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 inthe past.18.( )The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.A. the word “stewardess” was ma de up by Ellen ChurchB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a planeD. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane19.( )From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girlsB.

Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely20.( )The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.A. her flying experienceB. her univer sity educationC. her nursing experienceD. her life attitudes21.( )According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.A. be a nurseB. be marriedC. be a motherD. be young22.( )The passage mainly talks about _______.A. the background of early flying pilotsB. the experience of flying passengersC. the history of early flight attendantsD. the development of airplanesB26.00(up to 16 years of age)3.When does the coach leave Windermere if you choose Tour B?A. 09.45 hrsB. 17.00 hrsC. 12.00 hrsD. 16.30 hrsC“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shivering. Are you old? Do you want acup of hot tea?”“I’m not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!”“We are here to help you. Don’t worry about anything. I don’t know you. But Iknow many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came toLondon by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(马车).”“Why, yes. You’re right. But how do you know these things?”“ I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us yourproblem.”“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mother’s money for expenses(开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.”Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listen ing carefully to Helen’s story. He hearsevery detail.Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angryquickly. Everyone is afraid of him.”“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes.“No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place.

It was hisopening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watchin g an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggestedas an answer.“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what youwant.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everyt hing you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living inexcess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continu ed to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checkingaccount and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom.

You are driving along a desert or on a mountain.You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago.Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobilephone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This inventionmay be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) tofind the user’s position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start yourcar, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or atelephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control thesatellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches.Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.13.According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________.（2）can’t be lost in a new city（3）can’t find their way in different countries（4）can learn about the culture of an unknown place（5）can spend the least time getting to another place14.We can learn from the passage that ____________.A.t here are three parts to the GPSB.a GPS can’t b e put into a watchC.a GPS can help you start your carD.t he GPS are becoming more and more expensive15.The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “____________”.A.

2013中考英语一轮（阅读理解第1集）主要选自2012年的模拟题、中考真题，有些选自2011年的模拟题、中考真题.Stress is a bit of a fashionable buzz word. There are similarities and links between stress and anxiety - both can lead to unpleasant, disabling symptoms.So try these ten easy relaxation tips to feel more relaxed and in control.1.Take a short break and leave a stressful situation. If you are at work, offer to run or go for a short walk. A few minutes away can help you think clearly and the walk will get rid of some of the tension in your body.2.Take a break from the activity you are working on and do something different. Sometimes it helps to come back to a stressful task later when you feel more relaxed instead of persevering.3. Listen to relaxing music while you work. Listening to classical or nature music has been shown to lower heart rate and slow breathing. People often report feeling calmer after listening to calming music. Develop the habit of playing music in the background while you work for easy relaxation.4. Take regular breaks during the day. Spend 5-10 minutes to read something uplifting or humorous, or chat with a friend.5. Practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is the ability to be fully aware of the present moment. It is a skill that helps to reduce stress and depression. Start by spending 5 minutes a day just sitting in the quite noticing the sights, sounds and bodily sensations you are having.6. Change your focus. As people feel more stressed their attention becomes focused on what they believe to be the cause of their stress and they ignore other information. Write down the things that were good about the day. Keep a diary..7. Have a hot bath or shower. This will help to get rid of the tension in your muscles which is a normal result of stress.8. Write down the things that are worrying you. If you are worried it is very difficult to relax easily. Once you have written them down then see how much control you have over them.9. Keep things in perspective. Ask yourself ‗how important is it?‘ ‗How important will it be in a year‘s time?‘ Many of the things that cause stress are not important when we look at the big picture.10.Slow your breathing and purposefully relax your body for quick results. This will be easier if you have learned easy relaxation methods that you can use when you need them. I‘ll add more relaxation techniques in a future post.1. How many ways are offered to deal with stress?A. sevenB. tenC. elevenD. twelve2. Which kind of music isn‘t helpful to lower heart rate and slow breathing?A. rock musicB. country musicC. natural musicD. classical music3. Which is a good way to get rid of the tension your muscles?A. run or go for a short walk.B. take regular breaks during the day.C. have a hot bath or shower.D. slow your breathing and purposefully relax your body.4. What‘s the meaning of the underline word mindfulness in the passage ?A. 漫无目的B. 聚精会神C. 三心二意D. 天马行空5. The passage can most probably be found in a book.A. travelB. mathC. historyD. science参考答案1——5 BACBDLike many other sports, table tennis began as a mild social activity that you do for pleasure. It was popular in England in the second half of the nineteenth century under its present name and various trade names such as Gossima and Whiff-Whaff. After the name Ping-Pong (an imitation of the sound made by the ball striking the table and the vellum bats that were used) was introduced by J. Jaques & Son, the game became a fashionable craze.The game was popular in Central Europe in 1905-10, and even before this is a modified version had been introduced to Japan , where it later spread to China and Korea. After a period when it had dropped out of favor in Europe, the game was revived in England and Wales in the early twenties. by that time 'Ping-Pong' had been registered as a trademark, so the earlier name of table tennis was re-introduced. National associations were formed and standardization of the rules began, both in Europe and the Far East. Then, over the next sixty years, table tennis developed into a major worldwide sport, played by perhaps thirty million competitive players and by uncountable millions who play less seriously. However, the game itself has not changed in essence since its earliest days, though it is faster, more subtle and more demanding than it was even only twenty years ago.1. Which isn‘t the name of the table tennis ?A. GossimaB. Whiff-WhaffC. Ping-PongD. badminton2. Why the name ―Ping-Pong‖ was so called?A. The Chinese people named it.B. An trademark for business.C. The Japanese named it.D. an imitation of the sound made by the ball striking the table and the vellum bats.3. From where we can infer from the passage was the table tennis spread to China?A. JapanB. KoreaC. EnglandD. Wales4. When was the table tennis developed into a major worldwide sport.A. in the second half of the nineteenth centuryB. in the early twentiesC. in the 1910sD. in the late twenties5. The passage mainly talk about ?A. the name of the table tennis.B. the invention of the table tennisC. the history of the table tennisD. the popularity of the table tennis参考答案1——5 DDADC结束你知道吗，其实狗也可以分好几种，有的鼻子灵敏有的奔跑速度赛子弹，有的却是胆小鬼。

K. ，young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen．With this right also comes duty．For young people to use their right to vote wisely，they must have an understanding of the needs of society，and they must also learn how politics(政治观点) work．Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights to people when they are too young．The question is，how young is too young?64．An adult has the right to do certain things．Please give an example．65．At what age can one get a driver’s licence in England?66．In which countries do young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen?67．Does everyone agree to give all the rights to people when they are too young?（19）Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide people with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes，toothpaste，shampoo and so on．Many people like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own．But，if you travel to Beijing，remember to bring your own things．Starting from June，some hotels in Beijing no longer provide people with these disposables．They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things．Many disposable things are made of plastic(塑料)．People throw them away after only using them once．It is a waste of natural resources(资源) and is very bad for the environment．Do youknow．one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things．In Beijing，people throw away about 19000000 kg of plastic bags and 1320000 kg of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down(腐烂)．So the less plastic we throw out，the better．Wherever you travel，bring your own things and use them again and again．根据短文内容，填空或回答问题。

*************************************1、、【2012模拟】Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆)along the sideof the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day 1 will go there and see this wonderful place.”One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.As the afternoon went on, he began to know how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting.A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows.The girl said, “Sure, I know.” and invited him to sit on the porch (门廊).As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.34.

Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept t hese things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾站). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆) and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumpedrubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖土), which looks like black earth. It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.38. You can most probably read the passage in _______.A. a history bookB. a TV guideC. a science bookD. a telephone book39.

By reusing and recycling it.参考答案38-41 CABD*************************************************************结束3、、(2011嘉兴、舟山)When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck！”from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”？If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit！”People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole year of good luck!( )1. ________ is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition.A. A rabbit’s footB. A falling leafC. A cheerful wish from friendsD. A shooting star( )2. From Paragraph 3, we know that ________.A. shooting stars can often be seenB. people can see a shooting star on a rainy nightC. your wish may come true if you see a shooting starD. people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star( )3. British people try to catch 12 falling leaves because ________.A. the leaves fall in autumnB. there are so many leaves to catchC. the leaves can bring them a lucky monthD. they want to have a whole year of good luck( )4. In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to(指) ________.A. treesB. peopleC. leavesD. years( )5. The passage is mainly about ________.A. how to wish upon a starB. things that bring good luckC.

AHow do you feel when you stay in hospital alone? Jenny, 13, a US student, feels bored. She knows the feeling because she has been in hospital many t imes herself.

2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇（二）议论文（6）A famous study was done in a school by a professor(教授) from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude(态度)．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re th e naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And everyday after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇（一）议论文（1）Do you want to live a happier, less stressful (有压力的) life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world —and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 tim es a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing —it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest —I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I wa s worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real — and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!48. In which country was the first Laughter Club started?A. Britain.B. America.C. Australia.D. India.49. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?A. Surprised.B. Pleased.C. Nervous.D. Stressful.50. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?A. After a few minutes.B. After a few hours.C. After a few seconds.D. After a few days.51. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.B. 40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.C. Adults laugh more often than children in a day.D. Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.（2）Nowadays，a new method is used to decide who are the top students in school．The best students are those who not only get high marks，but also follow the rules and the behavior standards(标准) for middle school students．Here are some of the new rules and standards．Tell the truth．Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? If you have，then don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do．If you have played computer games for two hours in your room. don’t tell your parents you were doing homew ork．Learn to be loving and caring．Good students love animals and care for other people．Learn to work together with others．It would be mole fun when more people work together．Did you quarrel with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger．Be friendly to the people you are with．Try to think of others，instead of only yourself．Be open to new ideas．Have you ever thought that people could lire on the moon? Perhaps you’ll discover Earth Ⅱ someday．Don’t look down on new ideas．Everyone’s ideas are important．You should welcome them，because new ideas make lire better for everyone．Use the Internet carefully．The Internet can be very useful for your studies．Some websites(网站) on the Internet aren’t f or kids，so make sure to visit the web pages that are good for you．You can use the web for fun or homework．Can’t you find any good websites for children?61．The new rules tell kids ________．A．how they can study well B．what they should do at schoolC．how they can get high marks D．what is right and what is wrong62．The main idea of the fourth paragraph is about ________．A．making the team stronger B．being a good friend to othersC．working together with others D．quarrelling with others63．If someone says that human beings will discover Earth Ⅱ someday，what should you do?A．Laugh at it．B．Welcome it．C．Leave it alone．D．Refuse it．64．Good websites for children can ________．A．help them with their studies B．do homework for themC．make life easier D．be a waste of time65．The passage mainly tells us how to ________．A．do more at school B．care for othersC．use the Internet D．be top students（3）Just a Quick Nap 只要打个盹儿Do you feel a little sle epy after lunch?

You will have the chance to travel to many different places and meet a lot of different people. That will open up your eyes.However, there are also disadvantages of being a professional musician. One of the biggest disadvantages for most musicians is that they don't always have enough money. Most of the time, you will be looking for jobs. Sometimes you won't be able to find a good job. Another disadvantage is the place you live in. If you want to be a musician, you usually have to move to an area that has a lot of jobs, such as New York City. The cost of living in these areas is usually very high. The third disadvantage is that you can't have a stable family life. Different jobs will take a musician to different places, so most musicians are unable to have a regular family.61. The advantages of being a professional musician include all the following EXCEPT ________.A. making a lot of money all the timeB. traveling to many different placesC. meeting a lot of different people62. Which is NOT a disadvantage of being a professional musician?A. Not always having enough money.B. Being unable to have a stable family life.C. Having the chance to meet many different people.63.
