For example, you breathe faster,your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit(打) someone, butsometimes, you hide(隐藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. Theproblem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angrysometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It’s help ful to talk aboutyour anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, thosebad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start tofeel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug(拥抱); go for abike ride; think about good things, etc.Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse.Don’t let your angercontrol you.16．You may not get angry when _____.A．there is too much homework on this weekendB．your favorite basketball team wins the gameC．a friend breaks your favorite thingD．your parents don’t let you watch TV17．_____ shows that you’re not angry.A．Taking a faster breathB．Getting a headacheC．Getting a stomachacheD．Wanting to protect someone18．According to the passage, you can do everything when you get angry except(除了)_____.A．go for a bike rideB．think about good thingsC．talk to a good friendD．say bad things to the people around you19．This passage is mainly about _____.A．angerB．excitementC．happinessD．sadnessF1 is a very fast car race.

You are glad that your prayer has beenanswered.But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, "Papa and Mama, giveme some money please. My pocket money is all gone (用完) already.""No," they say, "Your age is dangerous. If you have too much money to spend, itwon't do you any good." Then you have to stay at home because you dare（敢）not go outwith an empty pocket.Another time you tell your grandma, "Grandma, see, I am a grown-up now.""Good, now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me when I go and have a rest."To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing thework, which only a grown-up can do. After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give theknitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes (批评) your work. Youhear what she says, "Such a big girl can't do such easy work." You wish then you were achild again.But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can't help it.

Other advantages of team sports like basketball,football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun.Teams usually have a good social life too–you’ll go to lots of parties and make manyfriends.Collect（收集）somethingOne of the best hobbiesfor under–18s is collecting things.

Don't just depend on(依赖) your experiences to give advice.☆Think about the results of taking and not taking your advice. When possible, thinktwice about all the possible results. This is more important for really difficult problems.☆Understand that the person may not take your advice. Someone asks for your advice,but he or she may not take it. When you give advice, the idea is to give someone thetools(方法) to make their own decision, not make the decision for them. The personknows more about the situation than you do, so your advice may not be the best. Don't besurprised when a person doesn't take your advice. Live with it, and let the person live withhis or her decision.☆Don't be afraid to let the person know that you don't have anything to say if you arenot able to give any advice.

Many things can make you angry. When your teachergives you too much homework, when your teamloses an important game, when a friendborrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster,your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit(打) someone, butsometimes, you hide(躲藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. Theproblem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angrysometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It’s help ful to talk aboutyour anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, thosebad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start tofeel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug(拥抱); go for abike ride; think about good things, etc.Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse.Don’t let your angercontrol you.16．You may not get angry when _____.A．there is too much homework on this weekendB．your favorite basketball team wins the gameC．a friend breaks your favorite thingD．your parents don’t let you watch TV17．_____ shows that you’re not angry.A．Taking a faster breathB．Getting a headacheC．Getting a stomachacheD．Wanting to protect someone18．According to the passage, you can do everything when you get angry except(除了)_____.A．go for a bike rideB．think about good thingsC．talk to a good friendD．say bad things to the people around you19．This passage is mainly about _____.A．angerB．excitementC．happinessD．sadnessF1 is a very fast car race.

After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give theknitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes (批评) your work. Youhear what she says, "Such a big girl can't do such easy work."

There are someways for you to give advice.☆Listen to the person asking you for advice. Every situation(情况) is special, sonever think you know all about a problem. Listen to the person who wants advice, andlearn as much as possible about the situation.☆Put yourself in others' shoes. Think about what you will do if you are in the samesituation. Don't just depend on(依靠) your experiences to give advice.☆Think about the results of taking and not taking your advice. When possible, thinktwice about all the possible results. This is more important for really difficult problems.☆Understand that the person may not take your advice. Someone asks for your advice,but he or she may not take it. When you give advice, the idea is to give someone thetools(举措) to make their own decision, not make the decision for them. The personknows more about the situation than you do, so your advice may not be the best. Don't besurprised when a person doesn't take your advice. Live with it, and let the person live withhis or her decision.☆Don't be afraid to let the person know that you don't have anything to say if you arenot able to give any advice.

He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom (智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous (嫉妒) of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. He tied the basket to the front part of his body and tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.Then his youngest son walked by. “What are you doing, Father?” he asked and Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me.

His palace was always decorated (装饰) with beautiful orchids (兰花) and other flowers. As the king grew older, he knew that one day he would have to give up his throne (王位). So he had to find someone to rule the country.The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the country and give every citizen a single orchid seed (种子). He then announced (宣布) that the person who grew the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was especially excited about the news, because he had experience in growing flowers himself.David planted his seed in a pot and put it in a place where it would get lots of sunlight. He watered it carefully every day. But hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow.Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty pot to the palace. “Your Majesty (陛下), I am sorry to say that l could not grow an orchid. But I hope you can see that l tried my best,” he said.The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge (法官). He believed that David’s honesty would make him the right person to make sure of the justice (公正) in the country.22．According to the king’s order, who could be the next king?A．The man who was the smartest.B．The man who was the most honest.C．The man who could plant the best seed.D．The man who could grow the most beautiful orchid.23．What do we know about David?A．He told a joke to the king.B．He failed to grow the king’s orchid.C．He was good at growing orchids.D．He was chosen to be the next king. 24．What can we learn from the story?A．David was the only winner in the end.B．It is stupid of the king to choose David as a judge.C．It is impolite of David to give an empty pot to the king.D．The king believed honesty was very important for a judge.25．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Honesty is the Best Policy B．How to Grow OrchidsC．Flowers are the Best Gifts D．It’s Very Easy to Grow Orchids七①Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict (预测) the end of winter? How about that elephants never forget things? Or that dogs can smell the strange? That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans.①Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future? That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea.①Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings came down. Many people were hurt. But there was something amazing. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming? In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why? They believed a disaster was coming. They thought this, in part,because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts (专家) said 150,000 could have lost their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami (海啸) hit the island.①Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting (预测) disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds and turtles. Can animals really tell the future?①Experts say it’s unlikely (不可能的) that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals. 26．According to the passage, we know many animals ________.A．can tell the future in different ways B．have better sense abilities than humans C．act strangely after some natural disasters D．use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes27．The word “behaviours” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A．actions B．senses C．ideas D．feelings 28．How many examples do the writer use in Paragraph 3 to support the idea that animals can tell the future?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four D．Five. 29．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Animals are good at helping farmers.B．Animals are good at finding their homes.C．Animals seem to know the future problems.D．Animals seem to know the weather changes.30．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Can Animals Predict the Future?B．Do Animals Have Stronger Senses?C．How Do Animals Save People’s Life?D．What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future?八Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.I saw so many kinds of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running.As I crossed the finishing line, I was so proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience.31．Why did the writer join in the running race?A．He was crazy about running for the race.B．He just wanted to try something new.C．He though he had rich running experience.D．He expected to see if he was strong enough.32．How did the writer’s feeling change during the race?① He decided to keep on running.① He felt very proud of himself.① He was kind of embarrassed.① He regretted joining in the race.A．①→①→①→①B．①→①→①→①C．①→①→①→①D．①→①→①→①33．What did the writer try to tell us?A．We should volunteer as teenagers.B．We should cheer up for old people.C．We should run our own race in life.D．We should try our best to be No. 1.附答案及解析1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．A解析：本文主要介绍富美子在纽约度过的快乐时光，及她对纽约的喜爱之情。
