None of my skirts or shorts end above my knees. That is my choice.So why, why did I feel so attracted? My family and I were in a shopping mall, and there it was, waiting —a skirt specifically designed not to cover anything. It looked like something one of those modern schoolgirls would wear.I checked my purse. The skirt cost DS|10. I had the money. I could buy it. I imagined walking into school and my friends' jaws dropping. Boys would ask me out, and I would be happy.I_could_buy_it,_no,_I_should_buy_it.I showed my mother. She was surprised but said it was my decision. My sister looked on enviously.I went into the dressing room to try it on. So sure was I that this skirt would change me, somehow make me not what I am but what I wished to be. I slid my jeans off and put it on. Now for the decisive moment, I looked in the mirror. There I was —a terrible girl in a Superman Tshirt and sneakers. My glasses fogged up as I started to cry.The skirt did not change me. Though it fit well and might make me look good in the eyes of today's world, it was not me. I am not a girl who wears cool clothes to fit in.I took the thing off and went back into the comfort of the modesty (质朴). My mom knocked on the door.“Emily, are you okay？”I wiped away m y tears.“I'm fine.” I looked in the mirror again and saw a blond slim girl with thick glasses. I saw myself.1．How did the author think her friends would react to her new skirt?A．They would start to copy her new style.B．They would think of her as a goodygoody.C．They would be amazed to see the big change in her.D．They would envy her when they saw how beautiful she looked.2．The underlined sentence indicated the author ________.A．hesitated about buying the skirtB．was able to afford to buy the skirtC．made up her mind to buy the skirtD．worried about others' opinions on the skirt3．The author cried because ________.A．the skirt made her look so goodB．she found that she looked ugly in the skirtC．she was disappointed that the skirt did not fit wellD．she realized it's a wrong decision to make a change4．What is the main point of the article?A．It's important to be yourself.B．Others' opinions don't matter at all.C．Girls should wear clothes with modesty.D．It's better for girls to wear conservative clothes.BUnder the cold clear water of Lake Huron, researchers have found a fiveandahalffootlong piece of wood that is 8,900 years old. The wood, which is tapered (使成锥形) on one side in a way that looks deliberate, may provide important clues to a mysterious period in North American prehistory.“This was the stage when humans gradually shifted from hunting large animals to fishing, gathering and agriculture，”said anthropologist John O'Shea.“But because most of the places in this area that prehistoric people lived in are now under water, we don't have good evidence of this important shift itself. We just have clues from before and after the change.”With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), O'Shea and his colleague Guy Meadows began exploring the area several years ago. In 2009 they reported finding a series of stone features that they believe were “drive lanes” used by ancient Indian hunters.Since that discovery, O'Shea and Meadows have worked on identifying human campsites, which are typically located away from hunting areas. On their 25foot boat, the researchers first spotted the ancient wood object using a small piece of equipment with a camera. Then a team of divers —including O'Shea — went down about 100 feet to get it.The wood's age has now been fixed by means of carbon dating. It is currently undergoing more detailed analyses to determine whether there has been human modification, which visual examination suggests.“Th e first thing you notice is that it appears to have been shaped with a rounded base and a pointed tip，”O'Shea said.“It must have been created. It looks like it might have been used asa tent pole or a pole to hang meat.”In addition to the wood, the researchers have collected many other samples from the bottom of the lake. O'Shea and his colleagues will need to wait for calmer weather before they can resume their search for evidence of human life under the great lake.5．During the mysterious period mentioned in the passage, the Lake Huron area ________.A．was deserted by ancient IndiansB．witnessed the start of agricultureC．was taken up by large animalsD．began to be covered by water6．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．The findings of John O'Shea and his colleagues may prove a previous theory.B．The effort that John O'Shea and Meadows made before 2010 was meaningless.C．Some equipment was used to support the discovery.D．John O'Shea and his colleagues didn't draw the final conclusion from visual examination.7．What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?A．How the wood was found.B．Why the wood is important.C．Preparations that were made for the discovery of the wood.D．Conclusions the experts have made from the discovery of the wood.8．What do we know about the future plan of John O'Shea and his colleagues?A．They will explore another lake soon.B．They will study the weather around Lake Huron.C．They will have a long holiday before going back to work.D．They will continue to explore Lake Huron.CScientist Kathy Berry started thinking about her own routine of putting sugar in her coffee and started a study to test how little routines influence our experiences.The first experiment involved two groups and each participant was given a piece of chocolate. The first group was asked to relax and then eat the bar at any time. The second was given a set of detailed instructions to follow before eating. The group that went through the specific chocolate eating routine actually enjoyed eating the chocolate more than the other group. The key, according to researchers, is in the deliberate participation of the task. Random (随机的) movements didn't add to the joy. People who participated in a simple routine before eating, particularly after a delay between the routine and consumption, enjoyed the food more.What researchers found is that when we participate in short and deliberate behaviors, we tend to enjoy our experiences more. The data was so clear after four different experiments that researchers may now begin looking at how routines could help us recover faster after an operation, reduce our pains, and enlarge our life experience in other ways.I am a mom of four kids but I've got plenty of routines of my own. Some are little and silly. Others are quiet and personal, such as my routine of morning gratitude (感恩) and the prayer at the end of the day. But they all do the same things — they slow me down, reduce my stress, allow me to pause and connect, to become present and to be mindful of the moment. Each of them does help me enjoy my life and that often leads to gratitude and appreciation.9．In the first experiment, the participants of the second group was asked to ________.A．have a short relaxationB．eat the chocolate at randomC．give a piece of chocolate to othersD．follow detailed instructions10．Why did researchers carry out the four different experiments?A．To further confirm the researchers' assumption.B．To persuade people to join in the experiments.C．To find out the different effects of daily routines.D．To question about the result of the first experiment.11．From the last paragraph, we can infer that the author's routines ________.A．make her selfcenteredB．have no influence on her lifeC．bring her a better lifeD．change her life completely12．What is the passage mainly about?A．Healthy eating can bring people more joy.B．Little routines can influence our experiences.C．Experiences do matter in our daily lives.D．Living a life of gratitude can make people happy.课下力量提升(十七)Ⅰ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。
【拓展阅读】英语Unit1Alandofdiversity(新人教版选修8unit1)
A land of diversity同步素材（选修8 unit 1)背景文件From Gold Rush to Golden StateThe first federal census conducted in California in 1860 counted 308,000 residents--population had almost tripled since 1847. While gold mining was still an important factor in the state economy, Californians were finding other ways to earn a living. By the mid 1850s, the state's farms had made California self-sufficient in raising wheat. Cattle ranching flourished, and by 1860, local ranches produced four times as many cows as they had in 1848. Still, everyone in the booming state was painfully aware of the difficulties of bringing goods in and sending them out: there was still no rail link to the eastern United States.There were other, more ominous signs of the transition from the Gold Rush boom to the problems of a permanent society. Even in the 1850s, as the limits of the gold bonanza for single, independent miners became apparent, white "American" miners were resentful of the other national groups represented in the camps. While they usually accepted non-English-speaking Europeans, they had less tolerance for Latin American miners and none at all for Chinese. In 1850, the new California legislature adopted a Foreign Miners License Law, charging all non-U.S. citizens $20 per month. This fee proved unreasonably high, and the law was repealed the next year. Before the law was repealed, however, many Chinese left the mining camps, moving to San Francisco, where they soon established themselves in the city's business community and created America's first "Chinatown." But many more came to the "Mountain of Gold." The height of Gold Rush immigration came in 1852: of the 67,000 people who came to California that year, 20,000 were from China. Chinese miners who continued their search for gold found increasingly harsh treatment at the hands of their fellow miners. The legislature adopted a new foreign miners' tax of $4 per month, and anti-Chinese feeling surfaced in many mining camps.At last the railroads came, and the end of California's physical isolation from the rest of the United States not only changed the economy but altered anti-Chinese attitudes. Debate on the route of a transcontinental railroad was unable to overcome disagreement over whether the railway should follow a northern or a southern path, until the coming of the Civil War in 1861. With the slave states part of the Confederacy, this sectional stumbling block vanished. Indeed, the construction of the railroad may have been the most important immediate effect of that war on California. Although a California battalion served in Virginia and other California troops were sent to New Mexico, most volunteers who enlisted never left the state and spent their military service guarding federal installations. California wheat and wool from California sheep did their part for the Union effort as well.In January 1863 work began on the Central Pacific line that was to run east from Sacramento and link California with the East. On May 10, 1869, at Promontory Point, Utah, it joined its sister road extending from the East, the Union Pacific. But completion of the Central Pacific rested on the use of Chinese laborers. At one time, more than 10,000 Chinese worked on the line. White workers proved unreliable, unwilling to face the dangers and grueling work when rumors of new gold and silver strikes promised easier alternatives. The Chinese, on the other hand, demonstrated physical courage and intellectual resourcefulness in meeting the challenges of laying track and handling the high explosives needed to blast routes through the Sierras. Many also helped build the NorthwestPacific and Southern Pacific lines. In 1870, there were 63,000 Chinese in the United States, almost all in California.The railroads the Chinese built, however, contributed to a situation in which racial bias became still more ugly. As railroads spread throughout the state, California's economy and population patterns quickly changed. Easy access to rail lines made citrus growing and other large scale agricultural pursuits an important element in the state economy.Farming in California never resembled the model seen in the Midwest or the Plains, where homesteaders could acquire cheap government land for family farms. Once it became clear that the United States would control California in 1846, the Mexican governor P韔Pico hurriedly signed 800 land grants, giving them fraudulent dates so that they would appear to precede the American takeover. Even earlier land grants tended to be vague and contradictory in wording, no matter what other claims they had to validity, and this meant that much of the best land for farming and ranching lay with old grants that were to be challenged in the courts over decades. Only the well-to-do could afford to spend this much time and money, and would-be small farmers usually had to content themselves with being squatters or giving up their dreams. This pattern was strengthened with the coming of the major rail lines: much of the remaining public land went to the railroads as subsidies for constructing their lines.Farming in California was therefore always commercial farming, the patterns of land ownership reinforced by the need to invest substantial money in irrigation and reclamation. Irrigation, in turn, did not become feasible during the boom of canals and stream diversion in mining. Thus it was not until the 1860s that large scale, irrigated farming became common. When major rail construction ended in the early 1870s, Chinese laborers moved easily into agriculture, proving themselves skilled farm workers and enterprising operators of small garden farms of their own. The expansion of irrigation canals in Southern California also drew the Chinese to these farms, making this group of immigrants a statewide phenomenon.Accordingly, hostility to the Chinese spread from the northern mining camps to farming regions and factory sites throughout the state. Anti-Chinese sentiment was exacerbated by the fact that the transcontinental railroad had ended California's comparative insulation from economic cycles in the rest of the United States. A national depression in the mid 1870s struck California, where labor leaders like Denis Kearney fired anti-Chinese feeling. In 1882, Congress passed the first Chinese Exclusion Act, which barred further Chinese immigration for ten years.。

姓名，年级：时间：课下能力提升（八）Ⅰ.阅读理解Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe。
Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear。
Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate （迁徙) north。
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense。
If the changes come too quickly， animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100， many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far。

拓展阅读：Sanxingdui Ruins Prove Diversity of Chinese CivilizationAncient ruins located on the upper reach of China's Yangtze River have provided evidence of the diverse origins of Chinese civilization.The Sanxingdui ruins in Guanghan, Sichuan Province are of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which can be dated back some 3,000 to 5,000 years.Chen De'an, an archaeologist with the Sichuan provincial archaeological team in southwest China, said that the ruins were home to three different but consequently developed ancient cultures.Jade ware featured with unique characteristics and processed with advanced technology for the times, suggests that the Sanxingdui culture in the first phase had interacted with the cultures of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River about 3,700 to 5,000 years ago.The second phase culture in Sanxingdui represented by bronze, which occurred afterwards, had been dominant in the Shu Kingdom, and extended influence on other cultures while also being influenced by civilizations from the central region and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.Chen said the ancient kingdom of Shu located in Sanxingdui was a stable, independent political entity that was more advanced than tribe culture. The kingdom was a typical "ancient kingdom" bordering the ancient hinterland.The ruins also serve as a convincing proof that the origins of Chinese civilization are diverse.Chen said that Sanxingdui ruins, which archaeologists have been excavating for two decades, will not only "belong to" the archaeologists, but also to the experts in other fields in the new century.The study of the ruins is a systematic project which includes geology, environment, hydrology, and more sciences.Chen said that archaeologists in future excavations are expected to uncover such mysteries as, where the raw material for the bronze came from, and when and why the civilization disappeared.。

The terracotta army was discovered by accident in 1974 at Xian, in China, when local farmers digging a well broke into a pit containing 6000 life-size terracotta figures. Excavation in 1976 revealed two further pits both filled with terracotta warriors. On the eastern side of the tomb a number of small pits have been found containing the bones of horses and smaller size terracotta figures of grooms. Since then discoveries have continued to be made at the site and to date the remains of nearly 8000 terracotta figures have been recoverescination in the discovery of theTerracotta Armyand it is now regarded as the 8th Wonder of the Ancient World.
The terracotta army was guarding the tomb of the First Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang di, who lived over 2200 years ago. He became famous for unifying the warring states into what is now China, and for becoming the country's first emperor. He is remembered for instigating the building of the Great Wall of China, and the fanatical fear of death and an obsessive quest for the secret of immortality. This craze for life and the fear of death ultimately gave us the legacy of the terracotta warriors.
The terracotta warriors are unique. Not only are they life-size and individually modelled in clay, but the detail of the figures is astounding. Not only can we observe the construction of body armour of terracotta army, with even the heads of rivets standing out, but the soles of the shoes of the kneeling warriors are modelled with fine tread patterns. The hands and the heads of the terracotta warriors were made separately, and each head is reputed to be different and individual. Although all the warriors were in the pits they had been buried in, many of them were in pieces andhave had to be restored. The museum technicians and craftsmen who undertook this difficult task often had to remodel parts to restore areas of the figures that were too badly damaged to be reconstructed.
