A
Dear Rose,
My brother is often in a bad mood, which makes me in a bad mood. What should I do?
Jenny,
It can be hard to be around someone who is in a bad mood. Since you can’t change another person’s mood, try to focus on what you can control: your own mood and reaction.
You might find it easier to stay in a good mood if you leave your brother alone when he feels grumpy (脾气暴躁的). The next time he is in a bad mood, go to a quiet place in your house. Read, exercise, draw, listen to music — do something that makes you feel happy.
Your parents might have some good suggestions for you, too.
Dear Rose,
I play soccer, but sometimes I play badly. How can I do better?
Jarom,
To be good at anything, determination and practice are important. Listen closely to your coach, watch other players, then practice, practice, practice! Professional athletes continue to practice their sports each day, knowing that if they start to get lazy, they won’t keep or develop their skills.
In addition to practicing with teammates, you can work on drills on your own.
Learning more about the sport may help too. Your coach can likely direct you to some good resources on skills development.
Dear Rose,
I was moved up a grade a few years ago. Now, almost everyone in my previous grade asks me why. It wouldn’t be a problem, except some boys ask over and over just to be annoying. What do I do?
Allison (by email)
If you’re sure that they are trying to be an noying, you might respond with something humorous. For example, you could say something like “They told me that the lunch lines would be shorter.” Use the situation to turn annoying questions into something to laugh about.
21. What should Jenny do when her brother gets bad tempered?
A. Accompany him.
B. Change his mood.
C. Leave him in a quiet place.
D. Try some pleasant things.
22. When talking about Jarom’s problem, Rose especially stresses the importance of .
A. practice
B. team spirit
C. determination
D. the coach’s help
23. What’s Allison’s problem?
A. She cannot get along well with her classmates.
B. Some boys in her class annoy her on purpose.
C. She is bored with being asked the same question.
D. Her friends cannot accept that she moved up a grade.
24. What can we learn from the answer to Allison’s question?
A. Laughter is the best medicine.
B. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C. Humor can ease the tension in many situations.
D. A sense of humor makes you easy-going.
B
Sam Allred suffers from a rare and incurable kidney (肾脏) disease. One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video — and Sam —became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldn’t have expected the response.
“The Doctors (The television show) called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”
During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sam’s mother, had an idea about Sam writing a children’s book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sam’s experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.
“I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.
Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.
“A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.
Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to re alize Sam’s ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.
Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.
Sam’s father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground. He asked the company for help.
“FedEx Ground learned about Sam’s pillow project,” says Erin Truxal, manager of public relations for FedEx Ground. “We thought, ‘What a perfect way for us to get involved.’”
The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.
Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the children’s hospitals in every state. His goal is simple: “Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick,” he says.
25. We can learn from the text that Sam Allred _____.
A. was a healthy boy
B. was popular at an early age
C. sang the song with his sister
D. worked in his father’s company
26. What is FedEx Ground’s attitude towards Sam’s career?
A. Doubtful.
B. Surprised.
C. Approving.
D. Uninterested.
27. Which of the following can best describe Sam Allred?
A. Optimistic and warm-hearted.
B. Honest and responsible.
C. Unusual and confident.
D. Friendly and brave.
C
On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the
hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.
There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.
The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.
28. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. The views remind us that we are in a wooden house.
B. There are many windows in the wooden house.
C. The scenes are colorful and changeable.
D. The lakes outside the windows are quite different in color.
29. By mentioning the names of the trees, the author aims to show that ______ .
A. the kids have learned much knowledge
B. the kids are very familiar with trees
C. the kids like playing in trees
D. the kids find trees useful learning tools
30. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. The door is a good position to enjoy changing seasons.
B. The seasons make the scenes change.
C. The weather often changes in the forest.
D. The change of seasons is easily felt.
31. What is the main purpose of the author writing the text?
A. To share the joy of living in the nature.
B. To introduce her children’s happy life in the forest.
C. To show that living in the forest is healthful.
D. To describe the beauty of the scene around the house.
D
Show rooming
One of the biggest challenges facing brick-and-mortar retailers(实体零售店) in recent years has been the “show rooming”. Driven by the desire to get the best prices, many shoppers are now visiting brick-and-mortar stores to personally check on products that interest them, only to leave and then buy the items online. The new trend is forcing retailers to find out new ways to keep consumers from leaving their store for cheaper prices online.
Recent research found that 40 percent of U.S. shoppers have shown roomed previously, with big-box retailers suffering the most. Specifically, the study shows that Best Buy, Walmart and Target are the most likely brick-and-mortar stores to have shoppers test out a product in-store and then purchase it online later, while Amazon is benefiting most from the practice, with nearly 60 percent of shoppers using the online retail giant(巨人) most often to make their show rooming purchases.
Smart phones have pushed show rooming into the front. Shoppers no longer have to wait until they get home to see if they can find a cheaper price for the products they’re considering buying. With smart phones, consumers can now compare virtual prices, at both other brick-and-mortar stores and online ones while still inside a retail store. If they can find what they’re seeking for less online, the majority will be seeking the first exit. A recent study showed that 45 percent of customers shopping at brick-and-mortar stores walk out and buy their purchase online for a discount of as little as 2.5 percent.
This puts pressure on retailers to provide both an in-store experience worth staying for and an online presence that can attract shoppers who are show rooming in other businesses.
To cut down on show rooming, many retailers are adopting new methods to keep shoppers in their stores. Among the steps they’re taking are price-matching guarantees that allow shoppers to pay a discounted price
if they find it cheaper online. This ensures that even a show rooming shopper can make the purchase in the store—regardless of whether they find the cheaper price online.
Another popular method to fight against show rooming is to give shoppers the ability to buy something online and pick it up at the store. This reduces shipping costs and gets customers in the store, where they may be encouraged to make an additional purchase.
It is also important for businesses to take into consideration what makes shoppers purchase something in-store rather than online, and meet those needs. Research has found that more than 8 in 10 Americans consider being able to take the goods home immediately and the ability to touch and feel them—the most important aspects when deciding to purchase in a store rather than online.
32.According to the passage, a show rooming shopper tends to ______.
A. pay for everything online
B. purchase online for a lower price
C. rush to buy things in a store
D. have better bargaining skills
33.What contributes to the growing popularity of show rooming?
A. The advertisement by online retail giants.
B. The competition between big stores.
C. The wide use of smart phones.
D. The decline of the brick-and-mortar stores .
34.The underlined words “seeking the first exit” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A. leaving as soon as possible
B. searching for lower prices
C. locating the first exit quickly
D. making a purchase on the spot
35.The last three paragraphs mainly talk about ways of ______.
A. advising shoppers to buy more
B. preventing purchase online
C. satisfying customers’ needs
D. increasing sales at stores

Some Steps for Breaking Through Your Comfort Zone
A comfort zone is a self-imposed boundary where a person will refuse to push past. Doing so usually fills him or her with nervousness and anxiety. So let's talk about breaking out of this comfort zone.
Get information. To break through your comfort zone you need to first educate yourself. Your goal here is to find out about whatever skill you're pursuing. You'll talk to people who have done the same thing. 36. And you'll check out articles on the Internet about this subject.
Have a plan. After educating yourself it's important to create a plan of action. With this step you're going to write down a step by step blueprint for how you're going to break through your comfort zone. 37. Then you create a plan to get to each level. In this plan you need to create benchmarks. These are mini goals that put you one step close to pushing past your comfort zone.
38. This is an important step because the people in your life will keep you on track. You want them to give you that “push” as you're pushing your boundaries. They will make it hard for you to quit because you know you'll look foolish if you did.
Remain positive. There will be times when you experience a negative outcome, something that shakes your confidence and makes you feel scared. The trick is to not let anything prevent you from blasting past the point of comfort. Recognize that you will have negative outcomes. 39.
Keep expanding your comfort zone. 40. Find stuff that you never imagined you would do. Like teaching a class on the subject that once filled you with fear. Or you could work on a related skill.
A. Look for new challenges.
B. You can't become an overnight success.
C. Have people around you know of your plan
D. You start with the easiest thing to do
E. It's a natural part of the process.
F. You won't have time to think about your fear.
G. You'll read books on the subject.

Over the last 15 years, as a doctor, I have had heart-to-heart conversations with countless patients near the end of their lives. The most common emotion they express is 41.

One afternoon, when I mentioned these 51to his wife and son, they looked disbelievingly at each other and then 52at me. They thanked me for being so kind but 53my patient was unlikely to express such feelings. To make sure his family could actually hear his 54, I took my huge family video camera with me the next morning and with the patients’55, recorded an open letter from him to his family. When I gave them the 56letter, both his wife and son were moved to tears.
The experience 57an idea that has grown into the Stanford Friends and Family Letter Project, which can help people complete their life review tasks: remembering treasured moments; apologizing to those we may have hurt; 58those who have hurt us and sayi ng “I love you”.

Dear Alex，
I’m Li Hua, monitor of Class one, Grade Two. I am very delighted to learn that you are coming to our class to study with us next term. I , on behalf of the whole class, welcome you to China warmly.
It is a great honor for me to tell you some information relevant to the local life. First, our traditional foods are steam-bread and rice. I hope you can get used to them soon. In addition, the climate here is very similar to that in the U.S., so there is no need for you to worry about it. When it comes to public transportation, you will find it really convenient to travel around by subway or bus.
Last of all, I would appreciate it if you can do something, such as helping us practice our spoken English , and introducing something about American culture, to promote the understanding and friendship between the students of the two countries.
Looking forward to seeing you.。
