Recently Dr. Cleiman has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true, the time of day when you feel most energetic (full of energy) is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(top). For some people the peak comes during the forenoon(上午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so.
Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has.
You cannot change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. “Habits can help,” Dr. Cleiman believes. If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn(哈欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.
小題1: Dr. Cleiman did not explain in the passage ___________.
A．how people can make their life fit their cycle
B．whether everyone has a daily cycle or not

回答問題
In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. But how do I know when I have found a good friend? I think a good friend should have certain good qualities(品質(zhì)), especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).
Above all , I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Sometimes you will meet “fair weather friends”. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. So, I think another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he is in trouble, I will do my best to help him. If I need a favor, he will not run away from me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!
58. According to the writer, what good qualities should a good friend have? (回答詞數(shù)不超過5個)
59. What will you do when your good friend is in trouble? (回答詞數(shù)不超過8個)
60. What is the meaning of understanding in a friend according to the writer’s opinion? (回答詞數(shù)不超過18個)

Creativity(創(chuàng)造性)is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
　     If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as very important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.
　     Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily an indicator of high intelligence. Just that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
　     Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention paid to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
　     It is important to give children choices. From an early age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important characteristic of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
小題1:What did the company where Dick Drew worked learn from its mistake?
A．They encouraged people to work longer.
B．They discouraged people to think freely.
C．They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.
D．They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and
improving new ideas.
小題2:Creativity is something ______.
A．that people are born with
B．that depends on intelligence
C．that is a way of using what one has learnt to work out new problems
D．that is not important
小題3:Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity?
A．They don’t understand the importance of education.
B．They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C．They pay too much attention to examination marks and language skills.
D．They think it more important to remember information.
小題4:What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?
A．Try to help them as much as possible.
B．Take no notice of whatever they do.
C．Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too much.
D．Leave them as they are.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship（關(guān)系）with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changed in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break(休息), for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
小題1:“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son ______.
A．is always busy with his studiesB．doesn’t want to be disturbed
C．keeps himself away from his parentsD．begins to dislike his parents
小題2: What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _____.
their daughter isn’t as lovely as before  
they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly
they don’t know what to say to their daughter
their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

A． Teenagers talk a lot with their friends
B． Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C． Teenagers do not talk much with their parents

No one knows for certain why people dream, but some dreams misht be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time (午睡時間) dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.
“I was astonished by this finding,” Robert Stickgold told Science News. He is a cognitive neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School who worked on the study of-how the brain and nervous system work, and cognitive studies look at how people learn and reason. So a cognitive neuroscientist may study the brain processes that help people learn.
In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze (虛擬迷宮). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried - making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.
For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the particularity stayed awake and half were told to take a short nap. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dreams before sleep and after steep - and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.
About a dozen of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these people tried the computer maze again, they were generally able to find the tree faster than before their naps. However, people who had other dreams, or people who didn’t take a nap, didn’t show the same improvement.
Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesn’t help a person learn - it’s the other way around.
小題1:It is a cognitive scientists job to study__     .
A．how people dream and learn
B．the structure of the nervous system
C．whether someone is reasonable
D．the process of understanding
小題2:The purpose of the study attended by 99 college students is to       .
A．find the hidden tree in the maze
B．test the design of a difficult virtual maze
C．train people’s memory
D．see how dreams and learning are connected
小題3:The better performance in working out the maze is connected with         .
A．how people dreamB．what people dream
C．when people dreamD．where people dream
小題4:The writer will probably continue to talk about            in the 6th paragraph.
A．how learning process caused the dream
B．how a dream helps a person learn
C．how dreams and learning influence each other
D．how to improve people’s memory

In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the one who’d lived those years with us.In fact, we don’t have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones close to us—the ones so easily overlooked. If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now！While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world’s happiness.
Saying thanks not only brightens someone else’s world, but it also brightens yours. If you’re feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need.
Of course, there are times when you can’t express gratitude immediately. In that case don’t let embarrassment sink you into silence—speak up the first time you have the chance.
Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. He had been told that the Indians did not have a word for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had exceptional generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks.
I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thank you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive and more caring?
Thankfulness sets in motion a chain of reaction that transforms people all around us—including ourselves, for no one ever misunderstands the melody of a grateful heart.
小題1:In the first paragraph the writer mainly encourages us       .
A．to express our sincere thanks timely to those around us
B．never to overlook our close friends in daily life
C．to wait for a proper occasion to show our gratitude
D．to increase the world’s happiness by saying thanks
小題2:When we say something for what others do for us, it ______.
A．is good for both us and people who help us
B．benefits the people who do something for us
C．wastes our and our friends’ time at the same time
D．does harm to both us and people who help us
小題3:According to the writer,        could be the best way to prevent ourselves from being left out.
A．seeing a doctor to find the right medicine we need
B．expressing our gratitude in an easy way
C．speaking up the moment we have the chance
D．showing others actively we are willing to help them
小題4:Mark Brain’s story is mentioned in the passage in order to show the fact that       .
A．the Indians didn’t have any words for appreciation
B．the Indians were particularly generous to others
C．some people may express their gratitude through different approaches

That year , in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners……
Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.
Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff : sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn’t seem like any of this bothered the new kid.
However, Little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him……
It was the new teacher!
The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.

Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research — the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is complete. Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish. All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away. Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality(道德) or religion.
Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. If the clone was free of genetic limitations, then the other clone would be as well. The latter could be inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term. Moreover, cloning would enable women, who can’t get pregnant, to have children of their own.
Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs. This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ(s). It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.
Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side. Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal “cycle” of life. There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development — the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment. Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance. Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear, thus leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes, and chances are that those individuals would be regarded as “objects” rather than people in the society.
Scientists haven’t 100% guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal. Thus, this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human “gene-pool”.
Regarding such arguable topics in “black or white” approach seems very innocent to me personally. We should rather try to look at all “shades” of it. I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans. Then we could regard this as for “saving life” instead of “creating life”. I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.
小題1:   Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A．Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women
B．A large number of genes will prevent us from developing
C．Prohibition(禁止) of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists
D．First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists
小題2:What’s the author’s opinion on cloning?
A．Cloning should be entirely banned
B．Cloning should be used in creating life
C．Cloning will take away the right to reproduce
D．Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs
小題3:Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
