From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one’s personality. In the past century, a new belief has arisen: the idea that personality is related to one’s ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.The blood-type personality theory (理论) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takejinoticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. The idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between 13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.There is also the possibility that people are influenced to change their personality to match the expected stereotypes (思维定式). A survey of studies made in Japan over a 10-year period found that while in the 1970s there was no relationship between blood type and personality, later studies in the 1980s found that the relationship increased a little. Researchers concluded that as the belief in the stereotypes increases, people may be changing their personality to follow the blood-type theory.Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely dismiss the belief as a modern-day superstition (迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists warn against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.57. The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain _________.A. the difference between the two blood typesB. the relationship between the two blood typesC. the influence of blood type on one’s behaviorD. the connection between personality and blood type58. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. It was lightly believed.B. It was brought to them.C. They liked and accepted it.D. They stole the idea from others.59. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Most scientists in Asia don’t believe in the theory.B. The blood-type theory began in Japan in the 1970s.C. The blood-type personality theory is about blood type.D. People don’t change their personality to match the theory.60. What is the best title for the passage?A. Is the blood-type theory popular?B. Is the personality changeable?C. Is it in your blood?D. Is it in your mind?答案：DCAC【例题一】Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir（回忆录）of Ralph W. Tyler who is one of the most famous men in American education.Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.Tyler became well-known nationality in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robert Hutchins.Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work.Although Tyler officially retired in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives(目标) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.51.

According to the study, facial expressions of our feelings are innate and are not achieved in cultural learning.This is the first research to show that blind people have the same facial expressions asthe sighted when showing certain feelings—the same facial muscles(肌肉) start working. What’s more, the research gives the new method of how people control their feelings in certain social situations. It states that people do not learn to manage their facial expressions by examining the expressions of others.In his study, David Matsumoto, San Francisco State University Psychology Professor, examined facial expressions of blind and sighted judo athletes(柔道运动员) that took part in the Summer Olympics and Paralympics(残奥会). He examined over 4,800 pictures of different athletes who came from 23 countries. Matsumoto found that both blind and sighted sportsmen had the same facial expressions, according to a specific social situation.“This suggests genes decide facial expressions of feelings,” he said.One of his findings was the “social smiles” of judo athletes who lost their match and got the second place. It is interesting to find that only mouth muscles are used in social smiles, while during real smiles, shown when a person is really happy, the eyes of a person twinkle and get smaller and the cheeks(脸颊) rise.“Losers pushed their lower lip up as if to control the feeling on their face and many produced social smiles,” said Matsumoto, “People blind from birth were unable to learn to manage their feelings with the help of examining other’s facial expressions.” He thought that there must be another system involved.“It’s possible that in order to hide sad feelings, humans have developed a system that closes the mouth so that they are stopped from crying, biting or rudeness,” he said.57. The underlined word “innate” in the first paragraph means _________.A. from birthB. from daily lifeC. from othersD. from teaching58. According to the passage, real smiles are different from social smiles in ________.A. opening the eyesB. using facial musclesC. closing the mouthD. watching others’ expressions59. How does the writer make us believe the new findings?A. By telling us an interesting story.B. By interviewing some researchers.C. By showing the results of the research.D. By giving the answers to the questions.60. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Smiles and OlympicsB. Blind and Sighted AthletesC. Social Smiles and Real SmilesD. Genes and facial Expressions答案：ABCD【例题三】Younger adults who get either little sleep or a lot of it may see a greater increase in their waistlines(腰围) over time, a study suggests.The study included 332 African-American and 775 Hispanic-American (拉丁裔美国人) men and women aged 18 to 81. The researchers measured their abdominal (腹部的) fat, at the start of the study and again five years later.Among the people younger than 40 in the research, the study found, those who said they slept for five hours or less each night gained more fat than those who averaged six or seven hours of sleep. Those who slept eight hours or more in bed each night also showed a bigger fat gain - but it was not as much as that seen in "short sleepers."The findings, according to the lead researcher Dr. Kristen, support the belief that sleep habits affect weight, and health in general. "Sleep is an important part of your overall health -- not just in whether you're tired during the day," she said.As for why sleep time might affect abdominal-fat gain, there are several facts: People who get too little sleep may be too tired during the day to exercise, while those who spend a lot of time in bed may spend less time being active, comparing to people who sleep fewer hours. Research also suggests that sleep loss changes people's appetite-regulating hormones（胃口调节荷尔蒙）-- which could, in theory, make them overeat.What’s more, depression, which is a feeling of sadness that makes peopl e think there is no hope for the future, could also be a reason. He also noted that it often affects people's sleep and has been linked to weight gain.55. ______ will get less fat gain according to the passage.A. Younger adults who sleep for five hours or lessB. People who sleep more than 8 hours every dayC. Younger adults who are from Africa or AmericaD. People who sleep about six or seven hours a day56. The underlined word “that” refers to ______.A. a fat gainB. sleep habitsC. too little sleepD. too much sleep57. What can we learn from the passage?A. The more we sleep, the more energetic we will be.B. The less we sleep every day, the less fat we will get.C. Those who are in sadness could easily get a bigger fat gain.D. The African and Hispanic adults easily get a greater weight gain.答案：DAC【例题四】Tucked away in our sub-consciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in thepassing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering —— waiting, waiting, waiting for the station."When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry. "When I'm 18." "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!""When I put the last kid through college.""When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion." "When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!"Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.“Enjoy the moment ” is a good saying , especially when coupled with the Psalm 118:24: “This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice creams, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.38. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph Three refer to _____ .A. The stationB. The retirementC. The collegeD. The destination39. The underlined sentence “Life must be lived as we go along.” in paragraph Six means ____ .A. We should give up working hard because of regretsB. We should regard our life as a trip without destination.C. We should travel as much as possible to enjoy ourselves.D. We should appreciate every second and enjoy the process40 The best title for the passage ______ .A. Treasure the momentB. Realize the destinationC. Travel on the trainD. Return to the start答案：DDA【例题一】Studies have shown it takes a doctor about 18 seconds to stop a patient after he begins talking.It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I came close to her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, trying to put socks on her swollen (肿大的) feet. I spoke quickly to the nurse, saw her chart saying she was in stable (稳定的) condition. I was almost in the clear.She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I began a long speech that went something like this: “How are you feeling? Your blood sugar and blood pressure (血压) were high but they’re better today. The nurse said you can’t wait to see your son who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have family visit from far away. I’m sure you really look forward to seeing him.”She stopped me with a serious voice. “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”I was surprised and ashamed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the pressure of this caused greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.Listening to someone’s story costs less than expensive diagnostic(诊断的) testing but is key to healing(痊愈).I often thought of what that woman taught me —the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, unexpectedly, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of sclerosis (硬化症) at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time —in a wheelchair.For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to give up my job when my hands were influenced. I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the view of doctor and patient.I tell them I believe in the power (力量) of listening. I tell them I know firsthand that huge healing takes place within me when someone stops, sits down and listens to my story.58. What does “Iwas_almost_in_the_clear” mean?A. I thought everything was clearly.B. I was about to finish my work.C. I almost made myself understood.D. I was very quickly out of her sight.59. From the 4th paragraph, we can infer the woman ____________ from the way she said.A. showed her anger and impatienceB. refused to listen to the doctorC. liked giving orders to peopleD. could not wait to break in60. What is the best title of the passage?A. Listening — a powerful medicineB. An unforgettable experienceC. A lesson given by a patientD. Care — a key to treatment答案：BAA结论推断题【例题二】When the Beijing Olympics begin this August, the world will be watching. The games have become a huge international event. People will come from around the world to watch 10,500 athletes from 205 countries compete to take home the gold. It takes years of work and billions of dollars to prepare for Olympics. But it hasn’t always been that way.The ancient OlympicsThe first recorded Olympics, in 776 B.C., were an important religious festival. But they only included athletes from about a dozen cities. Even after 200 years, the ancient games only included Greek men from about 100 cities around Mediterranean. Unlike today, the ancient games were always at Olympia, in Greece.Olympic sports have also changed a lot in the last few thousand years. The ancient games began with just one 192-metre race. In later years, the games grew to include a total of six sports tested skilled soldiers needed. These included races where runners wore fighting equipment and the pankration –-- a violent sport with few rules.The modern gamesEven the modern Olympics were once far smaller than they are today. The first of the modern games, in 1896, once had 241 athletes from 14 countries. Moreover, the early modern Olympics were not an independent event. Until 1908 the Olympics were part of the world’s fair!At the first modern Olympics, there were 43 events from ten sports. Many of the sports from the early modern games are no longer part of the Olympics. These include the sports of golf and tug of war.. There has always been a lot of disagreement over changing Olympic sports.The number of Olympic sports has constantly increased throughout history. At the Beijing games, athletes will compete in 302 events from 28 sports. Despite all the changes over the years, some ancient sports are still part of the modern games. These include running, boxing and wresting.The Olympics continue to grow and change, and they encourage us all to work harder, go faster and be stronger.52. What is the best title for the passage?A. The History of the Summer OlympicsB. The Changes of the Olympics SportsC. The Growing Events of the OlympicsD. The Increasing Sports of The Summer Olympics53. The ancient Olympics were held _______.A. as important religious festivalsB. at Olympia, in GreeceC. in 776 B.C. at Olympia, in GreeceD. in about 100 cities around Mediterranean.54. Which of the following is NOT true?A. 241 athletes from competed in 43 events in 1896.B. The first modern Olympics were held in 1896.C. 205 countries competed in 302 events at the 28th Olympics .D. 10,500 athletes will compete in 302 events at Beijing Olympics55. What can we infer from the passage?A. The Olympic Games have become a huge international event.B. The number of Olympic sports has increased throughout history.C. The Olympics encourage us to work harder, go faster and be stronger.D. While the games have grown and changed, the Olympic spirit has stayed the same答案：ABCD全文中心大意【例题一】The “halo effect” is a classic finding social psychology. It is the idea that general evaluations(评价) about a person (e.g. she is likeable) influence judgments about their specific traits(品质)(e.g. she is intelligent). Hollywood stars give the perfect example. Because they are often attractive and likeable, we naturally consider they are also intelligent, friendly and so on. That is, sometimes, not true.In the 1970s, well-known social psychologist Richard Nisbett set out to prove the fact that we actually pay little attention to our thought processes in general, especially to the halo effect.Nisbett wanted to examine the way students made judgments about teachers. They had been divided into two groups to watch two different videos of the same teacher, who happened to have a strong Indian accent. One group watched the teacher answer a series of questions in an extremely warm and friendly manner. The second group saw exactly the same person answer exactly the same questions in a cold and distant manner. In one the teacher appeared to like teaching and students, and in the other he came across as someone powerful who didn’t like teaching at all.After each group of students watched the videos they were asked to evaluate the teacher on physical appearance, mannerisms and even his accent (mannerisms were kept the same across both videos). The same as the hale effect infers, students who saw the “warm” one evaluated him more attractive, his mannerisms more likeable and even his accent as more pleasing. This was unsurprising as it backed up the idea s on the halo effect. At the same time, for those who had seen the other video, the result was just the wrong way around.The surprise is that students had no clue why they gave one teacher higher evaluations. Most said that how much they liked the teacher had not influenced their evaluation of his individual traits at all.The halo effect is fascinating and now well-known in the business world. For example, books that have “Harvard Classics” written on the front can ask twice the price of the exactsame book without it. The same is true in the fashion industry.So the next time you consider buying a pair of designer jeans or decide whether you like someone, ask yourself whether the halo effect is operating. Are you really evaluating the traits of the person? This simple check could save you wasting your money or refusing a royal friend. Or perhaps, even if you do check, you’ll still never know.56. Why does the author mention Hollywood stars in the first paragraph?A. To help us to evaluate others.B. To explain what the halo effect isC. To show us the background of the storyD. To tell us Hollywood stars are not truly friendly57. Which one do you think is NOT an example of the halo effect?A. You make friends with the people who have good judgmentsB. You prefer to buy the products advertised by a movie starC. You pay more for a simple T-shirt with a famous designer’s name on it.D. You believe your teachers are intelligent because they appear likeable58. What can we learn from the passage?A. People can do nothing to avoid the halo effectB. People use the halo effect widely in the business worldC. People often wonder how the halo effect works before shoppingD. People sometimes don’t realize the halo effect when they make judgments59. The passage is mainly about ?A. the cause of the halo effectB. the development of the halo effectC. the evaluation of the halo effectD. the influence of the halo effect答案：BADD文章标题类【例题二】Arnel Laparan grew up in Rosario. After his father died in 1970, five-year-old Arnel had to work in a small shop to help his family. The boy insisted on going to school and his mother finall y sent him to a nearby public school. “I was happy to study but my life became harder because I had to wake up earlier to do all my jobs before I went to school,” says Arnel. Worn down by all the work, he was ready to give up by the time he reached the fifth grade. Then his teacher’s words changed his life and made him study harder.Arnel finished high school at the top of his class, received a scholarship (奖学金) fromthe Philippine Normal University in Manila and got a degree in education in 1985. He took a job teaching math at a Manila private school and did volunteer teaching at the school’s adult class in the evening. “The adults were from poo r families and had to work when they were very young,” he explains. “It was touching to see how they tried to get a high school education at their age.”As time passed, he realized that helping needy students was his true calling. In 2004 he left his well-paid job and returned to Rosario. “My goal was to educate street children for free.” He began holding classes under a large tree. Slowly, more and more street children became interested in his teaching. “I taught them the basics of reading, writing and math,” says Arnel. He worked harder, walking to nearby villages, where he would give classes in parks or on playgrounds. To make ends meet, he began teaching children from rich families.In June this year Arnel borrowed a bicycle with a large sidecar from a neighbour. The sidecar holds a small wooden desk, textbooks and school supplies, and a blackboard set to the front bears Arnel’s words: “Education can be found anywhere. It is a road to progress.”The bicycle allows Arnel to visit faraway areas. He sets up an outdoor classroom and invites teenagers to his class three days a week. Many of the children have been out of school for years. Arnel also offers adult education to help out-of-school young people learn high school lessons. He does not receive any money but accepts school supplies and food for the students. He says, “I want to bring education to as many children and adults as possible. Everyone should have a chance.”57. Who decided Arnel should go to school at first?A. His mother.B. He himself.C. His teacher.D. The government.58. Why did Arnel return to his hometown to teach the street children?A. Because there were no schools in his hometown.B. Because he didn’t want to teach rich children only.C. Because he considered it’s his duty to help the poor.D. Because the country’s education should be improved.59. How does Arnel make his living?A. By serving rich families.B. By accepting school supplies.C. By receiving his family’s help.D. By offering lessons for adults.60. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Teacher on WheelsB. Classes for the Poor。

This passage is mainly about ―________‖.A. How to use ComputersB. Surfing on the InternetC. Information on the InternetD. Internet Safety RulesBDo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you‘ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it.And it immediately swims away.

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney‘s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash‘s voice, he said ‖Stop! That‘s our duck!‖The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey‘s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn‘t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, ‗ 40s and ‗ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today‘s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.()1. Who made Donald Duck film? ______A. Mickey Mouse.B. Clarence Nash.C. Walt Disney.D. Pluto.()2.

It‘s a monster!‖ They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.―When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,‖ the king said, ―If you don‘t do this, you‘ll have a beating.‖The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king‘s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. ―Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,‖ he said, ―but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.‖At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth.

If the daughter were still a monster twelve years laterELong ago ,there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.One day a student asked him, ― My dear teacher, didn‘t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.‖With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , ―Of course, I have learned much more. But it‘s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that‘s w hy I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know.‖()1.

They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful .Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher‘s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn‘t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain.()1. People go to school to _______.A. learn several subjectsB. make a livingC. get an educationD. to learn a skill()2. According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is________.A. to teach his students everything he knowsB. to know everythingC. to teach the students how to thinkD. to teach the students how to study by themselves ()3. To work out a math problem ,you need to know ________.A. only a certain formulaB. how to memorize some factsC. only some factsD. the method to work it out()4. Why were many scientists so successful?A. They received good education.B. They were very clever.C. They knew how to learn.D. They learned lots of facts and formulas.()5. How did great scientists study?A. They read a lot of books and asked many questions while reading.B. They did thousands of experiments.C. They always worked hard and never wasted time.D.

But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches.

A small fire can become a big fire very fast.Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency, with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.()1. Which is true?A.

中考英语阅读理解(共20篇)

2010年海陵区初三英语总复习阅读理解（共20篇）（来自朱庄初中）（1）Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected the papers when the exam ended.‘That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral . We wanted to show students how important honesty is,’ said Cai Wenguo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.‘I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,’ said Lang Yu Dan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. ‘Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.’ said Hua Sha.‘I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,’ Liu Qing Xi said.‘I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them,’ Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ____________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in examsD. how to get higher marks ( )2. No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to __________.A. let the students have a good restB. teach the students in a better wayC. help all the students pass the examD. find whether the students were honest( )3. From what the students have said, we know ______________________A. invigilators really help them a lotB. not all of them agree with the headmasterC. something unusual never happens in examsD. no cheating will happen if teachers trust students( ) 4. The underlined word ‘invigilators’ in Paragraph 4 mean _______ in Chinese.A.监考人B. 监视器C. 阅卷人D. 调查者( ) 5.

Here are 5R rules for us.Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more cleverly. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.Reuse You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example, give the clothes you do not use or the ones are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to young brothers or sisters.Recycle Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling we can save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted. The metal can be used to make new coke cans.Recover When you buy a box of apples, then there will be a few rotten () ones. You have two choices: one is to throw all the apples away; the other is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.Repair If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old things, or give it to people who can use it after repair it.Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let’s try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.( ) 6. The ‘Reduce ’ rule mainly asks us _____________.A. to use things more cleverlyB. to cut down lots of treesC. to use a lot of paperD. to throw away your old clothes ( )7.

Afterexamining several, he decided to buy a gold necklace with a precious stone, and asked if he could pay by cheque (支票). The assistant said that was quite in order, after my friend signed his name, he was invited into the manager's office. The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had given them a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble. Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They were polite, too. but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was guilty of a number of recent robberies. Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of stores. The note read, "I have a gun in my pocket. Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer."Fortunately, my friend's handwriting was quite unlike the thief’s.

In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice , open between December and April every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. Butover time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the dome roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the bar.The sun heats（使变热）the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms.

"It's so good we can get up later ! "said Liu.Liu studies in Chengdu No. 4 Middle School. He used to get up at 6:40 am.

He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise. He stood outside the classroom for a few minutes and looked inside through the window. He became angry at what he saw. Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.The headmaster knew what to do. He would go into the classroom, catch the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the others. He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. "Silence ! "he shouted at the top of his voice.This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the oldest-looking boy in the room, who was also the noisiest and had been shouting at others at the top of his voice. He took him by the ear and pulled him to the front of the class. "I'm going to punish you as an example to others," he said. "Now go to my office and wait for me. "Then he turned to the class and lectured them about how they should behave (行为举止) in school.When he had finished, he said, "Does anyone have any questions?"

She bas just become motherless.A few minutes ago, a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq(伊拉克).Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and dries towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down bythe war.And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.In southern parts of the country, like the second largest city, Basra, the UN is working to repair the damage(损失) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power to work again," said Geoffrey Keele, a UN spokesman.But little else can be done, in Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try.and let them escape the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50% of the Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old.

Five hopeful cities are waiting to find out where the 2012 Olympics will be held.Hosting is no easy work but it's a good chance for a country to attract tourists and make friends with people from all over the world.Two years ago, cities which were interested in hosting the Games enrolled(登记) their names. Later they handed in their reports to the International Olympic Committee(IOC,国际奥林匹克委员会). Nine cities hoped that they would have the honour. On May 18,2004, after the careful checking of each report, the IOC chose five cities: Paris, London, Moscow, Madrid(马德里) and New York City to be the possible cities to hold the 2012 Olympic Games.Since February, the IOC has visited these five cities, Moscow being the last; to hear each city's report as to how they will host the Games.Want to know the result? Some people guess that Paris will be the winner. London and New York could only show plans for gyms to be built for the Games, but Paris showed off their well-run gym that was built for the 1998 Soccer World Cup. One problem with Paris is that they ran against Beijing for the 2008 Game.The IOC members thought that French people were too proud.But don't rush to give an answer. Wait until July 6.

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main useof coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can sendout a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.( )1.From the passage we learn that locusts________.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colors to protect themselves( )2.How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A.

He had a n unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Micke y, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan , have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.( ) 16. This passage talks mainly about________.A. why cars were very importantB. when light was inventedC. which country made the first step into spaceD. how inventions effect people’s life( ) 17.

If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头 ) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes' — a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soonas you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someoneeven at an important meeting.

China Science & Technology MuseumDHow to investigate 1.Planning·Decide on a scientific problem to investigate.For example, a student named Mary has decided to research into how quickly sugar dissolves(溶解) in water.·Write down your hypothesis.You may already have an idea of what you expect to happen in your investigation.This idea is called your hypothesis.It may not be right! It is just an idea, though it may be based on work in science which you have done before.The aim of your investigation is to test your idea.·Decide what variables(变量) you are dealing with.Things like temperature, size, weight, and colour are called variables.Variables are things you can measure(测量).In your investigation, you have to decide what the variables are, which ones you will keep fixed, and which you will change.You need to change just one variable at a time.If lots of variables change at once, it won't be a good test.·Decide what equipment you need, and in what order you will do things.·Prepare tables for your results.2.Getting your evidence(证据)·Make your measurements, and record your results.3.Reaching the conclusions·Look for patterns in your results.·Present your conclusions.What links (关联) did you find between any of the variables? How would you explain these links?4.Checking your findings·Compare your conclusions and hypothesis.·Do your results support your idea?1.What does the underlined word “hypothesis” most probably mean?A .reasonB. resultC. methodD. guess2.In Mary's investigation, which of the following about the variables is true?A. She can only change one variable at a time.B. Some of the variables can't be measured.C. Her weight and age can be the variables.D. The temperature of water cannot be a variable.3.What is the passage mainly about?A. How to do a scientific research.B. How to explain a scientific finding.C. How to deal with a chemistry problem.D. How to understand some chemistry knowledge.专题二：介绍说明AIn the days before electricity, people don't worry much about sleep.They usually went to bed a couple of hours after sunset(日落) and woke at sunrise. After all, there wasn't much to do in those days after the sun went down.But then came the electric light bulb(电灯泡).And now we have satellite television, the Internet, 24-hour convenience stores, and longer hours at work.How much can we sleep? How much should we sleep?Like it or not, many of us are sleeping less on average(平均).In 1910, most Americans slept 9 hours a night. That dropped to 7.5 hours by 1975.In 2002, a study by the National Sleep Foundation found that the average American got only 6.9 hours. The news is even worse for people who work the night shift. They sleep an average of just 5 hours.Are we sleeping enough? Not if you believe in the old rule of eight hours of rest, eight hours of work, and eight hours of play.On the other hand, Norman Stanley, a British scientist who studies sleep, believes people's sleep needs are different. Some people need as many as 11 hours, but others need as few as three. How much do you really need? “To find out,” he says, “simply sleep until you wake naturally, without the help of an alarm clock. That’s your sleep need.”Meanwhile, other scientists and researchers are searching for new ways to keep us awake longer. Some are developing chemicals(化学药品) that are safer and more powerful than caffeine, the chemical found in coffee and tea. One experimental drug, CX717, kept laboratory monkeys working happily for 36 hours. Further developments may allow people to safely stay awake for several days straight. One group of researchers is studying a gene(基因) found in some fruit flies that lets them get by on one-third the usual amount of sleep. Another group is even working on an electric switch that immediately wakes up a sleeping brain.The meanings of this research are huge.On the one hand, this could lead to a world where we work longer and longer hours with less and less sleep.On the other hand, if we needed less sleep, we would have more free time to travel, read, volunteer, and spend time with family.1.How many hours did most Americans sleep a night in 1975?A.5.B.6.9.C.7.5.D.9.2.What can we learn from the passage?A.People have got enough sleep.B.People will work longer hours.C.Sleep time will be a big problem.D.Staying awake for long is possible.3.What is probably the best title of the passage?A.To Sleep or Not to Sleep?B.How Can We Sleep Longer?C.To Work or Not to Work?D.How Much Can We Sleep?BEveryone has traits(特性) that make us who we are.We have physical traits, like red hair, long legs and funny-looking toes.We also have character traits including humor, warmth, creativity and so on.Certain physical traits are fully inherited(遗传), such as blue eyes, and knobby knees.About 25,000 to 35,000 genes(基因) are in a single cell in the human body.These genes carry the traits that are passed down genetically from parents to their children.Many traits exist between inheritance and development—the interaction with environment.One example is body shape.It tends to be passed down from parents.But once diet becomes a factor, environment begins to play an important role in how the body develops.Body shape is a trait that is a mixture of inheritance from parents and influence of environment.So lots of our most important traits have been learned, rather than inherited.For example, if you are really great at video games, it's not because your parents passed down the skills in genes.It's because you have practiced a lot of video games and developed those skills yourself.If you have kids who turn out to be great at video games, it is because they put in the hours, learned the skills, and memorized the moves that are necessary to play the video games well.Of course, some of us have brains that are more advantageous to video game playing.Say you were born with a large and powerful part of the brain that controls your hand-eye coordination(协调能力).That's inherited.What you do with it, how you choose to develop that advantage, is up to you.You can pierce your nose or get a tattoo—it doesn't matter how much you change your body during the lifetime.None of those things will turn into genetic material to be passed down to the next generation.However, if your children grow up in an environment with role models who are pierced and covered in tattoos, they are more likely to get piercings and tattoos!1.is a physical trait that is fully inherited.A.The eye colorB.The special dietC.The body shapeD.The pierced nose2.According to the passage, the writer believes that .A.character traits can hardly change during the lifetimeB.the skills of video game playing are passed down to kidsC.a kid's hand-eye coordination isn't related to inheritanceD.environment plays an important role in trait development3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Why Are Traits Important?B.How Does Inheritance Influence Traits?C.Where Do Traits Come from?D.What Are Physical and Character Traits?CNight Milk and SleepA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that“night milk” contains mo re melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows' milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.1.What does the phrase “nod off” in the first paragraph mean?A.Try to keep awake.B.Try to sleep a longer time.C.Change from being awake to a sleeping state.D.Change from a sleeping state to being awake.2.According to the text, the mice being fed with night time milk .A.woke up laterB.were more anxiousC.were less activeD.could not sleep well3.Why do lots of people think milk is excellent for helping sleep?A.Because many people like drinking milk.B.Because it's been tested on mice ten times.C.Because it can make people more energetic.D.Because it contains calcium, which helps people to relax.参考答案A[主旨大意] 这篇文章主要介绍了人的睡眠时间在不同时代不同;不同的人所需的睡眠时间也不同;随着科学技术的发展,科学家和研究人员还在寻找一些新的方法,可以让人们清醒的时间更长,以便有更多的时间去做别的事情。

You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. Thelists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems.

Why Can't We Buy Energy Drinks?CAs a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passingcar lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all thebuses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.( )11. The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. none( )12. _________ would scare the author at night.A. Streetlight and car lightsB. Wild animals and enemiesC. Moving curtains and windD. Strange sights and sounds( )13. When she went to some other places, she would _________.A. walk away without othersB. take a bus by herselfC. follow others closelyD. make sure not to take a wrong bus( )14. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?A. She was usually popular among people.B. She was always the leader of the others.C. She always' got poor grades.D. She was not at all liked by others.( )15. The underlined word "overcome" means "_________" in Chinese.A. 接受B. 忍受C. 信服D. 克服Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.Ever y time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems.Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At tha t moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back.

I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so!I t doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.( )1. When did the writer get the gift?A.

But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exerc ise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.(1). Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.(2). Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories (热量), not important nutrition.(3). Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels.When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.(4). Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.( )6.

Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal.

A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past.

Teenagers also have a lot of stress from school, either from their teachers or from their friends. Some teenagers also feel stressed about choosing their education after high school. Getting a place at university can be very difficult and some cannot afford to go to university. The stress about getting a job when finishing school is hard for some teenagers. There are so many young people finishing school and not enough jobs for them. Sadly, there is nothing we can do to remove these causes of stress from the 1ives of teenagers, but you can learn the best way to deal with it.

You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as thatin a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.( )6.

These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination(想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.( )11.

Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?A. She was usually popular among people.B. She was always the leader of the others.C. She always' got poor grades.D. She was not at all liked by others.( )15. The underlined word "overcome" means "_________" in Chinese.A. 接受B. 忍受C. 信服D. 克服阅读理解（3）ASixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift.

But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.(1). Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.(2). Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories (热量), not important nutrition.(3). Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.(4). Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming.

A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks.The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the Woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe.
