But can positive thinking really make someone’s life bett er? Many scientists are studying positive thinking. They are finding out some very interesting information.
Your Health
The Mayo Clinic is a famous medical organization in the United States. It studies many things, including positive thinking. Their research proves that positive thinking has many advantages. First, positive thinking2．good health. Positive people don’t worry about the bad events in life, so they stay healthy. Positive people are3．likely to exercise and eat healthy foods.

Many schools want to see young children spend more time learning. Some get rid of nap time. They think time spent sleeping is wasted time. And they feel kids may not really need to nap (午睡) anyway.
Ending afternoon naps might be a mistake, though. A new study looked at school nap time. It shows that going without a nap can cause problems for some children. That makes it harder for them to remember what they learn. The new study was done by Rebecca Spencer and Tracy Riggins. Both are scientists who study learning and memory.
Children need less sleep as they get older. However, children are not all the same. They stop needing to nap at different ages. Some stop napping every day by age 4. Others still nap daily at age 6. Also, the need to nap doesn’t just suddenly disappear, Spencer said. It can come and go as children develop. Children grow very quickly. All that growth can be tiring. Children may be fine without naps at one point. A month later, they may need to take naps again.
All children need a good night’s sleep in order to remember and learn. However, some children need more sleep than others. To keep what they’ve learned, these children need to nap during the day. Nighttime sleep just isn’t enough. Riggins a nd Spencer set out to prove this. They asked children at six preschools to play a memory game. After the children finished the game, some were told to nap. The others were kept from napping. The following morning, the two scientists brought the children back.
They wanted to test how much the children remembered from the day before. They found some big differences. Students who were kept awake forgot more than students who had napped.
Scientist Peg Oliveira has also studied nap time. She says school naps can be particularly important for kids who might be suffering from (遭受) tough times at home. They often get less sleep at home than other kids. Some do not have their own room.
Others may be homeless at times.
“Those kids might not be having a solid night of sleep,” Oliveira said. For th em, school nap time is extra important. 1．The underline phrase “get rid of” in Paragraph 1 can most probably be changed by ”
A．don’t mind B．are afraid of C．keep away from D．happily agree
2．From the study of Rebecca Spencer and Tracy Riggins, the need to nap depends on
A．how old the children are B．children’s development
C．children’s sleeping hours at night D．children’s timetable
3．According the passage,which of the followings is NOT TRUE?
A．Children who often nap can remember what they learn easily.
B．In the game, the students who had napped get better results.
C．The kids who had hard times may not need more naps.
D．Some children need to nap because they don’t have enough sleep time at night.
4．According to the passage, the writer is eager to tell us that .
A．children do not pay attention to naps at school
B．children need both night’s sleep and school nap
C．there are just two ages for children to stop daily naps
D．nap time is very important during the growth of children
5．The passage is most probably taken from .

14、Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy(识字) volunteer. When I began to know what other people’s lives were lik e because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44- year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t kno w which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus timetable, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needs. Since s he did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only know items by sight, so if the product had a different sign, she would not know it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s sel f-confidence, which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make fast progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt.
At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
1．Marie didn’t go to the supermarket by bus because______.
A．she lived too close to the supermarket
B．she wanted to stay fit through walking
C．there were no bus stops in front of the supermarket
D．she had no idea which bus to take to the supermarket
2．What did the writer probably find when he was teaching Marie to read?
A．Marie learnt how to read really fast
B．Marie had no gift for learning how to read
C．It was hard for Marie to change her habits
D．It was hard for Marie to build self-confidence
3．We learn that in the end________.
A．Marie could read and became confident
B．the writer chose to help Marie’s son to read too
C．the writer decided to spend more time learning to read
D．Marie thought she learnt more from the experience than the writer
4．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The importance of learning to read
B．The difficulties that a single mother faced
C．The writer’s most unforgettable experience
D．The writer’s experience as a literacy volunteer

15、Nine-year-old Justin Henry met a force so powerful that it lifted him into midair. It made the shoes of his feet. Justin's mom had to catch his foot to stop the "monster" from taking him. Justin had just come face-to-face with a tornado(龙卷风),one of nature's strongest storms. They can reach speeds of more than 25 mph.
During a tornado, the whole neighborhood can be destroyed. Tornadoes destroy houses, pull trees from the ground, and
throw cars and trucks several hundred yards through the air. People are hurt and even killed.
The deadly weather can catch many Americans off guard. Tornadoes in the United States happen mostly in spring and summer, and often touch down in "tornado alley,” an area between central Texas and Nebraska.
Generally, tornadoes develop one at a time, but sometimes there can be a large number of them. Here are the steps how tornadoes form.
Tornadoes are born of strong thunderstorms. When warm,wet air pushes through cool, dry air,the cool air pushes the warm air up. High clouds form.
Dry air then blows in from another direction. The wind starts to spiral(螺旋).
As the wind grows stronger, air rushes in from all sides at high speeds. It forms a funnel(漏斗).
As the tornado gets stronger, the funnel stretches and becomes longer. Finally, it touches the ground.
As one of native's strongest storms, tornadoes are really powerful. How can we live through the deadly weather? Quick thinking helps many people go through deadly weather. A tornado in Van Wert, Ohio, blew the top off a movie theater just minutes after a showing. No one was hurt because the theater manager had been warned of the tornado by a tornado warning system. As a result, he told the moviegoers to hide in the stronger parts of the building.
1．How does the writer lead in the topic of tornadoes in the passage?
A．By showing Justin's experience.
B．By describing how tornadoes form.
C．By telling a story in a movie theater.
D．By explaining why tornadoes happen.
2．The second paragraph mainly talks about ______.
A．the causes of tornadoes B．the influence of tornadoes
C．people's opinions towards tornadoes D．people's activities after tornadoes
3．According to the passage, what is the correct order in which the tornadoes are formed?
①Air rushes at high speeds and forms a funnel.
②Dry air blows in and the wind starts to spiral.
③After the funnel becomes longer, it touches the ground.
④The warm, wet air and. cool, dry air push against each other.
A．④③②①B．②④①③C．②③④①D．④②①③
4．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The highest speed of tornadoes is 25 mph.
B．Generally , there can be a lot of tornadoes at a time.
C．Tornadoes are developed from strong thunderstorms.
D．Most of the tornadoes in America happen in spring and fall.

18、Do you know any 9-year-olds who have started their own museums? When Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福) was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.
Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy，” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he observed(观察) nature and then read and wrote about it. Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This was indeed “a loss to science”，Roosevelt said later.
Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him
to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors. In 140, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President(副总统). A year later, President McKinley was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th president of the USA．At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.

3．It can be inferred(推断) that________．
A．Roosevelt's mother liked mice B．everyone with asthma is small and weak
C．Roosevelt followed his father's advice D．working out in a gym is a waste of time
4．In which book might you find this passage?
