One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障礙物).
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
小題1:Why does the writer write the first paragraph?
A．Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.
B．Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.
C．Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.
D．Because he wants to use readers’ similar life experience to understand the article better.
小題2:By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know__________.
A．a(chǎn)nyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end
B．what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground
C．man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down
D．the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure
小題3:What does the underlined word “restriction” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A．束縛B．放縱C．搖擺D．牽引
小題4:In the writer’s opinion, ____________.
A．without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress
B．kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom
C．restrictions are necessary for us human beings
D．we don’t need any freedom at all

Sharon has been a serious runner for six years. She has completed three marathons and several shorter races. Each week she runs about 20 miles.
Her favorite shoes? A $25 pair of Champion shoes she bought at Target. “I like running in simple shoes,” she said, “The more you pay, the more trouble you get.” She is right. Money often buys higher-quality goods, but not when it comes to running shoes.
Over the last forty years, running has been popular as a leisure (閑暇的) sport. In 2009, 476,000 runners took part in a marathon. In 1976, the number was just 25,000. Sales of running shoes reached a record $ 2.36 billion in 2009, 60 percent more than ten years earlier.
But some of those dollars may not have been well spent. In 2007, Scottish researchers tested running shoes at three price levels, ranging from $80 to $150, and found that low-cost and mid-cost shoes within the same brand protected runners’ feet just as well as high-cost ones, sometimes even better.
“The common idea is that if you pay more, you will get better shoes,” said Abboud, director of the Institute of Motion Analysis and Research at the University of Dundee in Scotland, “Our research did not show that.” Professor Abboud and his colleagues have just completed a similar study, as not yet published, with nearly the same results.
If you want to run well and run safely, consider fit first and price last. “You want a shoe that helps you keep a balanced position,” said Mark Montgomery, manager of the JackRabbit Sports store in Union Square in New York, “A more expensive shoe is not always the solution.”
“The less you think about a shoe, the better,” said Ms Bakoul, a marathoner.
小題1:According to Sharon, ________.
A．expensive shoes will give you more trouble
B．higher-quality shoes will protect your feet better
C．taking part in marathons is very important for runners
D．running about 20 miles a week is the best for your health
小題2:From the passage the reason why much money is not well spent is that ________.
A．it was spent on running
B．it was spent on high- cost shoes
C．running needs the cheapest shoes
D．money often buys higher-quality goods
小題3:From the passage we can infer __________.
A．running as a leisure sport will be no longer popular
B．Professor Abboud thinks the common idea is right
C．Ms Bakoul is against the research results
D．Mark Montgomery agrees with Sharon
小題4:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．The More, the BetterB．Run Well and Run Safely
C．The Less, the BetterD．Fit First and Price Last

Before my first summer vacation at college, my roommate Ted asked me to work with him on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea of spending two months in Argentina was exciting. But I was afraid of it. I had never been far from New England. What would it be like in a strange country? What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.
In the end I turned down the invitation. As soon as Ted asked somebody else to go, I began kicking myself. I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was afraid, and had ended up feeling depressed (沮喪的) . That unhappy summer taught me a valuable lesson out of which I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you worried; don’t do what makes you depressed.
At the end of my senior year, I began to think about becoming a writer. But my professor was telling me to aim at teaching. I hesitated (猶豫). The idea of trying to live by writing was a lot scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.
Giving up on what I really wanted to do depressed me. Right then I learned another lesson. To avoid that kind of depression meant having to bear a certain amount of worry and concern.
When I first began writing articles, I was frequently required to interview big names. Before each interview I would get anxieties (焦慮) in the mind and my hands would shake. One person I particularly admired was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed the very model of confidence. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright and had anxietyattacks. I went on doing those frightening interviews. Then I realized that I was even looking forward to the interviews. What had happened to those anxieties?
Well, in truth, the anxieties were still there, but there were fewer of them. I had benefited from a process of overcoming them. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often enough, he will eventually learn that there isn’t anything to be worried about. This brings me to a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it. The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary (可怕的). But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
小題1:What does the phrase “turned down” mean in the second paragraph?
A．To say “No” to his roommate.B．To say in a low voice.
C．To put away the invitation.D．To take the invitation.
小題2:We can infer from the passage that the writer________.
A．finds it difficult to make decision
B．has found out what causes anxiety
C．was inspired (受啟發(fā)的) by Duke Ellington’s stage fright
D．no longer feels anxious about new experiences
小題3:Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?
A．Hesitation leads to depression.
B．Anxiety can be a positive drive.
C．Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.
D．Depression is a signal that one is growing up.
