Public health officials say they have proved the relation between weather condition, known as EL Nino, and malaria(疟疾 ).
New research shows that malaria cases increase sharply in a South American country a year after an EL Nino event. However, scientists are not sure why this happens.
El Nino usually happens every four to seven years. It is caused by a warming of the surface of waters in the Pacific Ocean. EL Nino develops when winds near the west coast of the South America become weak. This permits a large mass of warm water from nearby Australia to move east along the equator toward the coast of South America. As the water moves east, storms develop, normal winds and ocean water change their directions, which can cause very bad weather around the world.
Scientists have connected El Nino with diseases, such as malaria. The lack of rain caused EL Nino in some areas of the world results in poor harvest. Since the lack of food makes people weak in health, scientists believe that starving people may be unable to resist malaria and other diseases. However, public health experts do not understand why malaria cases increase in the South American country a year after an El Nino although people there are not starving. Manuel Bonner, a public health expert in London says the research did not show dry EL Nino weather is connected with malaria. One likely cause, he says, is the quick increase of mosquito populations in rainy seasons after an El Nino period. He says because malaria cases become fewer in dry EL Nino years, people may have less resistance to the disease.
1. Which of the following is the main cause of El Nino ?
A.Storms which develop in the Atlantic
B.Less strong winds near the west coast of South America
ck of rain in many parts of the world
D.Surface waters warming up in the Pacific
2. Malaria cases increase after an El Nino probably because_______.
A.mosquito grow larger in number in rainy season
B.there are more mosquitoes and the human body’s resistance to malaria becomes
weak
C.medical service is poor
D.starving people are not as strong as before
3. What would be the best title for the text?
A.No El Nino, No Malaria
B.From El Nino to Malaria
C.El Nino and Malaria

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wished to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
68. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks ________.
A.life for a child is fairly easy
B.a child is always loved whatever he does
C.if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D.only children are interested in life
69. The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A.life is not enjoyable since each age had some pains
B.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C.childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
D.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.
70. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _______.
A.examples of successful young men
B.how to build up one’s position in society
C.joys and pains of old people
D.what to do when one has problems in life.

When several people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you are alone observing one behavior or a person at two different times, you may see different things. The followings are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions(感知,认识):
(1)E ach person’s perceptions of oth ers are formed by his or her own cultural
conditioning, education, and personal experiences.
(2)Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we
deal with what’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same yardstick (标准) to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.
(3)Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious
to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states.
This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory(矛盾的) information i s particularly obvious, but i t can be done. When we ignore the stimulus--- “He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting.” We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information ---“All kids get into mischief(顽皮). Taking a book from a bookstore isn’t such a big deal.” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information--- “It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”…
1.The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _____
A.the abilities of one’s auditory and visual sensors.
B.Cultural background and personal experiences.
C.Experiences one learns from others
D.Critical measures taken by other people
2. While observing a particular person,________.
A.one is likely to take all aspects into consideration
B.one pays more attention to his/her advantages.
C.Children often differ from grown-ups in perception
D.One tends to choose certain cues(提示)to look for
3.Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because
_____.
A.their measuring yardsticks are not the same
B.either of them may be slow to catch information
C.the time for observation is not long enough
D.each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions
4.The word “stimulus” in paragraph 4 refers to _____.
A. something attractive
B. selective perception
C. contradictory information
D. shoplifting
5. The worst thing in selective perception is that ______.
A.perceived information runs against your desire
B.facts can be totally ignored or distorted(扭曲)
C.importance of the contradictory information can be overrated(估计过高)
D.the same information may not be dealt with in the same way

Dick was a twenty-year-old man. His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun (修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.
One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hosp ital. He said to the nurse, “I’m a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward (安排一个三等病房) for me, please.”
“Can’t anybody help you?”
“No, madam,” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s nun and she’s poor, too.”
“I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know!”
“Well, then,” Dick said with a smile. “Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill (账单) to my brother-in-law.”

Hong Kong pop star Zhang Guorong（张国荣）, 46, jumped out of a window of Man darin Oriental Hotel at the start of April, 2018, leaving behind sorrowful fans and suicide（自杀）note which newspapers said was caused by emotional problems. His death shocked the public and the incident again brought a serious topic to suicide.
Zhang was best known globally for his part in the blockbuster film “Farewell My C oncubine”, where he played a homosexual（同性恋的）Chinese opera singer. The popular 1993 film won a lot of awards including the world-famous Palmed and at the Cannes Film Festival. However, such achievements could not make Zhang content with his life. It was reported that long before his death, Zhang had been suffering from depression.
According to experts, about 5 to 10 percent of people are suffering from depression, some of whom are not even aware of the illness. And 10 to 15 percent of people suffering from depression will be likely to commit suicide.
Statists（统计学家）also show suicide is the leading cause of death among young adults. It leads to 3.6 percent of all deaths each year in China, a survey said. Last year, 287000 Chinese died after committing suicide. The female rate is 25 percent higher than the male rate. For this reason, the media must let people know the negative（负面的）influence of Zhang’s tragedy in its reporting. It is shameful to talk too much about his death. Although his achievements in arts were great, his final choice cannot be praised, let alone calling his death a “perfect end” to a shining life.
The media should guide people —especially Zhang’s fans—to shake off their sorrow quickly, learn a lesson from their idol’s tragedy, find a release f rom the pressure of their lives and value their priceless lives.
1．Why on earth did Zhang choose to kill himself in such a way?
A．Because he was not as popular as he was before.
B．Because he was disappointed at his life.
C．Because he suffered from high pressure from his fans.
D．Because he dropped out of the hotel accidentally.
2．What does the word “blockbuster” in the second paragraph probably mean? A．most popular. B．very interesting. C．ordinary.
D．boring.
3．What’s the best title of the pass age?
A．The End of a Famous Star. B．Depression Causes Deaths.
C．How to Face Suicide. D．A Perfect End of Life.

Colour helps you see things. But man and some monkeys and apes (猿) are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can see colour. To any other mammal, such as the dog, the world looks like a black-and-white photo. Dogs hunt mainly by listening and sniffing (闻).
Like other animals, dogs see best when things move, The animals they hunt seem to know this. A hunted rabbit or deer will “freeze”. Then the dog may not see it at all.
Birds can see colour. They need to, because they fly and need to find places to land. Colour helps them judge distance and shape. In this way they are able to catch bugs (昆虫) in the air or to light on branches.
Some birds see things even better than you do. The birds that eat bugs can see them from far away. And even a very young bird can see a hawk high in the sky. So sharp eyes and a sense of colour help birds find food and also help them find where their enemies are.
4. ______ can see colour.
A. All the animals
B. All the mammals
C. Man and dogs
D. Birds and monkeys
5. In order to find their food, dogs mainly use their ______.
A. eyes and noses
B. ears and noses
C. eyes and ears
D. mouths and ears
6. The word “freeze” in the passage means ______.
A.the hunted animals are frozen on the ground because of cold weather
B. the hunted animals’ temperature is becoming lower and lower until it drops
below 0℃
C. the hunted animals will stop running and stay in the same place without
movement
D. the hunted animals are so frightened that they can’t move any longer
7. Colour helps birds ______.
A.see better than man
B. see better than dogs
C. see how colourful the world is
D. see clearly where food and
enemies are
Man proposes, God disposes. 谋事在人，成事在天。

When asked such a question: Which is better, to get scores or to get abilities, many students' answer like mine would be that to get abilities is better than to get scores. To make it clear, we have to compare the both sides.
Two different aims lead to two different methods and two different results. If we are eager to get good marks, our teachers would take a cramming-duck hand to force us to do much hard work. We have to learn by heart a lot of lifeless knowledge. We have to recite many many poems and texts. We have to carry a heavy school-bag. We have to do much homework after school. All of what we do is merely for a single purpose----to pass examinations. As a result we cannot enjoy any thing. We have no free time. We have no holidays. We have no games and plays. We have no pleasure. We have no childhood. In the end, we have no skills or capabilities except some dead knowledge from books. We are not able to wash our clothes. We are not able to cook meals. We are not able to labour in the fields. We are not able to operate machines in the factories. In a word, we cannot do any practical work.
On the other hand, if we intend to gain abilities, our teachers will take flexible and varied measures in their teaching practice. They will provide for all the students chances to share equal education and we students are supposed to enjoy all-round development. While we learn knowledge from books, we are showed how to use computers, how to make a radio or recorder, how to make experiments and researches in sciences; how to play the piano or violin, how to sing or dance, how to draw or paint pictures and portraits; how to prepare a dish or how to make bread; how to plant trees and grass, how to go in for farming by means of scientific methods; how to do business and how to keep in touch with others. All in all, we can play an active part in our studies. At last we will master not only book knowledge, but also the other three abilities----living abili ty, working ability and manageable ability. Thus, we will serve the people better.
By comparing the two ideas, we can come to a close that the purpose to get scores
is far worse than the aim to get various abilities. Only when we know well both scientific knowledge and practical skills, can we live happily and work wonderfully in the society in the coming future.

Tradition says that at the beginning of the sixth century one of the tribes(部
落) in Ireland was called Celt. The chief(酋长) of Celt had a beautiful daughter,
named Ellis, who was from childhood, fond of having honey. When she grew up, lots
of knights(爵士) and princes from neighboring countries came to propose marriage
to her. Ellis fell in love with a young master of a southern tribe who was among
the proposers. They were soon in love with each other. At last they decided to
get married. On the wedding day Ellis entertained the honored guests with honey
wine made from the honey which had been presented by the young master. After
drinking the wine, the guests sang high praise for it. They said the wine was as
sweet as love. But there was too much wine for them to drink up. They were intoxicated (沉醉)with the sweet honey wine. It took the young couple a whole month
to drink up.
From then on it was very popular among the local people to drink honey wine within the first month after the man and woman's marriage.
