When I was 11years old and living under the Israeli occupation, I took a chance and after curfew(宵禁) I ran to visit my grandmother who lived two blocks away from us.On the road, I had to hide under a truck to avoid soldiers coming my way.For 20 minutes I lay there in utter fear watching their boots walk back and forth in front of the truck.My heart was pounding so fast and loud that I was afraid one of the soldiers would hear it and I would be killed instantly.
To calm myself, I started begging God to take mercy on me and save me from these men and their guns.I remembered the words of my mother after Israeli soldiers beat my father.She told us to put our fear and anger aside and pray for the poor soldiers, who were also afraid because they were away from their homes in Israel.
I began to feel bad for the soldiers.I wondered: Where do they sleep and are they afraid of little children like me? What kind of food do they eat? Do they have big or small families? My fear eased a bit as I pictured the soldiers as people I knew.Although my 20 minutes under the truck seemed like an eternity, I believe that shedding my fear literally saved my life.
Thirtysix years later I look around and see another kind of devastation created by fear.After Sept.11, the Arab and Muslim community segregated themselves because of the level of suspicion directed at them from others.Fear of association because of ethnicity led many to retreat within themselves and their community.They stopped socializing with nonArab/Muslim colleagues and neighbors.Once again, we allow differences to separate us because of fear.
I believe it is fear we should be fighting not the “other”．We all belong to the same human tribe；that kinship supersedes our differences.We are all soldiers patrolling the road, and we’re all little children hiding under the truck.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh an d do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want
people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we wound never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

（1）
A few years I was on a bicycle trip when I got off my bike for a rest. I sat down on the grass. A few seconds later, I was covered in ants. They were swarming all over me so I got up and brushed them off. It was a strange experience but I soon forgot about it.
A couple of years later, I was living in Jordan. I had just moved into a modern flat and was unpacking plates when I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I looked over at the kitchen drawer and there was a cockroach(蟑螂) crawling out of it. I screamed. Then I grabbed a can of insecticide and sprayed it on the cockroach. He ran under the nearby bathroom door. It took me three days before I found the courage to open the bathroom door to see if he was still alive. He wasn’t.
Why did I react so violently to one lone insect when a closer encounter with hundreds of ants hardly affected me? The answer is easy: because cockroaches are cree py crawlies(令人害怕的爬虫) and an ts aren’t. Creepy crawlies are those little bugs which provoke feelings such as apprehension(忧虑), anxiety or aversion(讨厌) – they make your skin crawl.
Did you know that some people feel such a fear of bugs that it becomes a phobia(恐惧)? Psychologists have offered many explanations. Some say we associate them with dirt and disease. Or that these are life forms that are so alien to us, that we find them repulsive(排斥的) for their dissimilarity.
Insects, however, don’t follow our rules –they just do what they want and invade our space. Unfortunately, although insects and bugs have been a successful animal species up to now, many of them, like many other species nowadays, are under threat of extinction. Entomologists(昆虫学家) warn that this could upset entire ecosystems and lead to all kinds of disastrous consequences. So my plea to you is: the next time you feel the urge to stamp on, splatter or spray a creepy crawly, give a thought to the planet and stop.
1. Why did the author mention the ants in the beginning?
A. Because the experience with the ants presents a sharp contrast to that with the cockroach
later.
B. Because the author wants to show her preference to the ants and her dislike for the
cockroach.
C. Because both ants and cockroaches are creepy crawlies that the author dislikes.
D. Because meeting the ants is an unusual experience that the author can hardly forget.
2. What does “insecticide” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. A kind of fruit juice.
B. A kitchen knife.
C. Liquid for killing insects.
D. Cleanser for the bathroom.
3. How does the author feel about the bugs like cockroaches?
A. The author doesn’t mind the contact with those harmless small creatures.
B. They make the author feel so awful that they should be killed.
C. They invade our space and become a threat to humans.
D. They still deserve a place for keeping the balance of the nature.
4. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the cockroach makes the author’s skin crawl?
A. It looks so strange and different that the author can’t accept its appearance.
B. It can make the author feel sick and cause a strong dislike.
C. The author may relate it to something dirty or disease at the sight of it.
D. It reminds the author of the experience of meeting hundreds of ants.
5. Which of the following statements about bugs is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Some people may be frightened so much by bugs that it leads to a psychological barrier in
some degree.
B. People can enjoy a cleaner living environment if more bugs like cockroaches are killed.
C. Many bugs are in danger of extinction so they should be placed under human’s protection.
D. Some bugs are extremely unpleasant that people have a strong wish to destroy them.

（London）—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin p eople might be in trouble.
Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.
“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” sa id Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial Colleg e. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.
According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.
Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.
According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually o n the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.
Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabete s. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.
The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.
11.What is this piece of news mainly about?
A. Thin people may be fat inside.
B. Internal fat is of no importance.
C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.
D. Thin people also have troubles.
12. Doctors have found _____.
A. the exact dangers of internal fat
B. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabet es
C. being slim is not dangerous at all
D. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside
13. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.
B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.
C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.
D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.
14. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.
A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been proved
B. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthy
C. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim
D. it is easi er to burn off internal fat than external fat
15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.
A. a long road
B. an easy way
C. a clear difference
D. a short distance
