2．阅读理解
It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.
Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. Don't keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick!
But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.
If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper.
Some of us, just like some adults, are more private（有隐私的）than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help.
（1）The passage is mainly for ________.
A. the teachers
B. the parents
C. the teenagers
D. every reader
（2）What does the underlined sentence tell us?
A. Don't tell anything to others.
B. Don't care about what others think.
C. You should share your feelings with others.
D. You have to stay inside and think it over.
（3）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Sharing your feelings makes you closer to people.
B. Worrying too much even makes you feel sick.
C. There are many ways to speak up your feelings.
D. Teenagers are more private than adults.
（4）In the writer's opinion, what will happen if you talk with someone about your worries?
A. They will help you find ways.
B. They will laugh at you.
C. They will tell others about your worries.
D. They will share the feelings with you.

"Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows a visitor to rent a room from a local （当地的） family to understand the local lifestyle better. It also helps to improve the visitor's language ability," said a teacher, during a school meeting last term. "Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won't be disappointed （失望的）."
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London—a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family （寄宿家庭）was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest, like the Big Ben, the London Bridge and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to
our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave "homes" for Hong Kong.

Sometirmes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with（忍受）her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, "Are the things she said true or not? Mary, have you ever wondered what you're really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said. "
I did as he told me and I was very surprised to discover that about half the things were true.
I took the list to my dad. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said. "You know the truth about yourself better than any other people. When something said about you is true, it will be helpful to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but remember the truth and do what you think is right."
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure（珍惜）all your life！

5．阅读理解
In modern society there is a lot of disagreement about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who believe that their self-worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and death matters. In their single-minded dream of success, the development of many other human qualities （品质）is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire （渴望）to succeed, others take a different attitude. In a culture which values only the winners, they are strongly against competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures（压力）from their parents or society. They are always told to be the top ones, but they think it's really hard. When I teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure （失败）by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse:" I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. If I had tried and lost, that would mean a lot."
Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief. They think one's self-respect depends on how well one does compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this fear begins to dissolve（消除）can we discover a new meaning in competition,
（1）Why do some people welcome competition according to the passag?
A. It pushes society forward.
B. It improves one's abilities.
C. It develops human qualities.
D. It builds up friendly relationship.
（2）The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means .
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who depend on others most for success
D. those who are against competition most strongly
（3）Which of the following may the writer agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back.
B. Competition should be encouraged.
C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D. Fear of failure should be taken away in competition.
（4）What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B. Competition is bad for social development.
C. Ideas about competition are different among people.
D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）D
（4）C
【解析】【分析】短文大意：人们对比赛的态度不一，很多孩子过于重视成功与失败，以至于失去了其他人格品质，一些人抵触比赛，每次比赛失败后，总是找出一个借口，作者呼吁应该消除害怕失败的情绪。

6．阅读理解
When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do: Never accept food or candy from strangers, never get in a car with strangers, and so on. They think strangers may do something harmful to us.
But if we didn't start a conversation with strangers, we'd never make new friends. We'd never get a job. We may miss the happiness that comes from talking with strangers. And the more
people you know, the more chances you can get.
The following passage offers you some advice on how to break the ice.
Don't just look at your shoes. Go and say "Hi" to that new guy. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.
British: Beautiful day, isn't it?
The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it is one of the topics the British care most about. And there's a simple rule: Say "Yes" whether you agree with the person's idea on the weather or not. That's because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.
French: Where did you go on holiday?
To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French employees（雇员） get more than one and a half months of holidays every year.
American: So, where are you from?
The US is so big and people move so often that place is always a source（来源） of talk. You can try to find a connection with the place they're from. For example, if someone is from Los Angeles, you could say, "Oh, I have a friend who studied there."
（1）The writer's parents tell him not to talk to strangers because ______.
A. it was dangerous
B. the writer didn't like to talk with strangers
C. it was part of the life
D. the writer's parents were afraid to talk with strangers （2）The underlined phrase "break the ice" probably means ______.
A. put the ice into pieces

We sometimes say the lion is "the king of the jungle" because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt better. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. In the sea the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.
What is at the top of the world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than lions, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.
People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous too. For example, many years ago, in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the a number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed by the rabbits.
Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger too! If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves.
