Cell Phone Madness
When I opened the box at my 12th birthday party, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had really gotten a cell phone!
As soon as I got to my 21 the next morning I 22 off my phone and asked everyone for their 23 .
It felt like I didn't even 24 in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my 25 . Luckily I didn't get 26 using it.
I was pretty 27 that the teacher did 28 that I stopped paying attention to her 29 a week later we took a test and I failed. To make matters 30 , my mom had to 31 the test.
It was hard to show my mom the 32 . She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Well, eventually, I showed her and she couldn't 33 it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
Weeks passed and my parents started to 34 the fact that I had a phone. They would say, " We have noticed that you never pay attention to us. It's like you have your own little 35 now and we don't communicate as much with your phone."
I acted like they were wrong, but then I started to wonder if it was true that I was spending too much 36 on the phone.
A week later I tried 37 a whole day without a cell phone and it didn't go that badly. I had so much 38 because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different point of view towards cell phones.
Phones really take you away from the rest of the world. I'm not saying that phones are 39 and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get 40 with your phone all day. My phone took away time from my homework and from my family. It also affected my grades．
I will keep using my phone, but I will have it under better control.

When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know something about it. There is 41 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about.
Curiosity sometimes 42 be foolish or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their neighbours are doing.
They have a strong wish to know what they are bringing home or taking outside, or 43 they have come home so early or late. To be interested in these things is silly because it is none of their 44 to know what their neighbours do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also harmful. Most probably, it may lead to a small talk which often brings harm or disrespect to others, thus 45 （hurt）others' feelings.
However, there is a clever curiosity — the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to find out all they can learn about them. Columbus could never have found America if he 46 （not be）curious. James Watt would not have made the steam engine 47 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have 48 （make）as a result of curiosity, so the clever curiosity is never about 49 （important）things which have little or nothing to do with the happiness of 50 public.

A
Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Pap arazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities —famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew thei r names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
51. It can be learned from the passage that stars today________.
A. are often misunderstood by the public
B. can no longer have their privacy protected
C. spend too much on their public appearance
D. care little about how they have come into fame
52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
53. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A. Availability of modern media.
B. Inadequate social recognition.
C. Lack of favorable chances.
D. Huge population of fans.
54. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A. Sincere
B. Doubtful
C. Disapproving
D. Sympathetic
B
It is generally believed that we are getting cleaned when we step under
a shower. We are, but we’re also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didn’t even know about. A showerhead carries thousands of bacteria called Mycobacterium. These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of being sick. When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body.
This is a finding of Norman R. Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US. Pace’s team looked at 45 showerhea ds in nine American cities. They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium.
But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health. Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry. He told the New York Times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thought. He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning.
But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms(微生物), he had some advice. Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months.
However, Pace had good news, too. He has also been testing the air in US subways. Apart from iron particles(粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. The reason is that
a train’s movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels.
55. From the finding of Norman R. Pace, after tak ing a shower, we might cough or feel
tired because _______.
A. it’s easy to get a cold when taking a bath.
B. the showerhead carries many bacteria causing illness
C. we don’t get cleaned while showering
D. we don’t get a weak immune system
56. We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.
A. having a shower in the morning is more dangerous than at other time
B. the bacteria always threat pe ople’s health when people have a shower
C. people with strong immune system needn’t fear microorganisms
D. it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower
57. The underlined word “pose” in the third paragraph probably means “________”.
A. give birth to
B. take charge of
C. watch out for
D. get away with
58. What leads to fresh air in US subways ?
A. The train’s movement.
B. Iron particles.
C. Train wheels. C. Air conditioners on the trains.

“Have you ever found a treasure?” I once asked my father. He smiled a big smile and told me this story.
“Once when I was about ten years old,” my father told me, “I went treasure hunting with my older sister. She had heard some people talking about a treasure box hidden in a hillside cave. One day we went there and spent two or three hours looking for the entrance to the cave. Then, as I was trying to squeeze between two big stones, I suddenly fell into a hole. It was the mouth of a tunnel that led to the cave. My sister and I crawled through into it. It was very dark but we had brought a flashlight and we were shocked to see that there was a large wooden box ahead of us. We ran to the box and pulled it open. It was filled with silver and gold coins. I started to count them but my sister told me to stop. “This is only money,” she said, “This is not a real treasure. If you want money, all you have to do is to work for it”.
I was going to argue with her when I suddenly noticed a big metal box on the other side of the cave. The box was filled with statues. Some statues were made of ivory or gold, with diamonds for eyes and rubies for lips. I took one of the gold statues out of the box. ‘Don’t do that!’ yelled my sister. ‘This is only beauty and art. It is not a real treasure. There must be somet hing better here.’
We searched and searched, but there was nothing else in the cave. Then the battery in the flashlight started to die. We got scared and crawled back. I wiggled through but my sister got stuck half way between the stones.
I tr ied to pull her out but I couldn’t. I ran up and down the street knocking on doors but nobody would come.
The only one who would help was a girl about my age. She got a rope and a spade and a water bottle. About an hour later, we got my sister out of the stones. I became good friends with the girl who had helped us. She was very responsible, faithful, kind and loving. When we finished college I realized that she was the woman I wanted to marry. That’s your mom. I thought I had found the best treasure in the world.”
59. Why did the father knock on doors on the street?
A. To beg for water.
B. To beg for help.
C. To tell people about the treasure.
D. To warn people of the danger.
60. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The loss of flashlight drove them to crawl back.
B. Most people in the town were not supportive and helpful.
C. The sister got stuck between the stones when she was trying to squeeze into the cave.
D. The second box was filled with famous pictures.
61. Which of the following could best describe the sister?
A. Rude
B. Greedy
C. Wise
D. Lazy
62. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. A Real Treasure
B. An Exciting Experience
C. A Helpful Girl
D. A Terrible Trip

Who Stole our Happiness?
In Denmark, happiness comes from equality; in Singapore, happiness comes from the rule of law; in the slums of Calcutta, India, happiness comes from the hearts of people that depend on each other. It’s not difficult to see whether a person is happy or not largely depends on two aspects. One is external, that is the social environment we live in; the other is internal, that is our personal attitude to life. Today, we are not happy, also can be analyzed in several aspects.
ck of faith
Most of us do not know what the expectations are in one’s whole life. Confucius lived a poor life and didn’t even have pillows when sleeping and used his arms as pillows, but Confucius said, “Happiness is within.”
2. Always comparing
“Whether a person is fortunate or not, happy or not, does not depend on how big of accomplishment he or she has achie ved, but on the way how the neighbou rs look at them.” When what we are pursuing is not happiness but to be happier than others, then happiness will be even further away from us.
3. Living in happiness without realizing it
If a light has been constantly lit, we will not pay attention to it, but if it is brighter and darker at times, or if it is on and off at times, we will notice. Similarly, sometimes we are envied by others, but we hardly notice it.
4. Not moved by beautiful things
“The spring wind is so selfless, not asking for anything in return but blossomed millions of flowers.” We may not have the ability to create beauty. We often ignore and are unaware of the natural beauty, artistic beauty, spiritual beauty and many beautiful things in life around us.
5. Do not know how to give [来源:]
Only a person who knows how to give rather than just take can be truly happy. Charity is not a privilege of the rich.
6. Not being content
How much does a person need to be satisfied? Never enough!
When we are n ot happy because we don’t have shoes, can we notice those who do not have feet? Contentment brings happiness.
7. Anxiety is everywhere
Anxiety of safety, wealth, health and anxiety of children’s education… Only a person who is carefree can be happy.
8. Too much pressure/stress
We are under a variety of pressure —pressure from work and family, financial pressure, interpersonal pressure, psychological pressure and physical pressure…
9. Standards are too high
We use our own standard to demand othe rs “If I can, why can’t you?”
We use other's standard to demand ourselves, “If he can, why can’t I?”
10. Not being oneself
A person who becomes a good son, a good husband, a good father, a
good friend, a good partner… but if a person cannot become someone that himself / herself desires, always fighting with oneself, then this person has no balance, and naturally, it is difficult for him/her to be truly happy.
63.According to the passage, which of the following did not steal our
happiness?
A. Pretending to be someone else.
B. Struggling for our life goals.
C. Having no beliefs.
D. Living an aimless life.
64. Confucius’ words are quoted to imply that _______.
A. we need to know what we are pursuing in our life
B. happiness lies in poor life
C. wise men all live in happiness
D. we should learn from him and live a simple life
65.Which of the following is true?
A. To share everything we have is a source of happiness.
B. To be what you really are is a way of achieving happiness.
C. Not to set a standard is access to happiness.
D. To know that we have an advantage over others brings us happiness.

How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. 66
Tell them you love them every morning. A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.
Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own. It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. 67 Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.
68 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents? Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 69 Listen to their old stor ies and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.
Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 70 Seek help if you are being abused（虐待）in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.
A. Parents will in turn express their love to you．
B. Forgiveness is the key．
C. Here are some ways to love your parents．
D. There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example．
E. Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can．
F. After this, share your feelings with your parents．
G. Please remember parents are as important as friends．

Failure is common in our life. No one can avoid them. When we fail in doing something, we often feel very depressing. Sometimes failure can make us lose hearts. So no one is willing to fail. On the contrary, success can bring us sense of pride. If one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will have confident in himself. Therefore, failure is the mother of success. A failure doesn’t mean one can never be successfully. Those that are always afraid failure will never succeed. In a word, as long as we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we were sure to succeed.
