Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. But friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concerts that the nature offers you? And with the timely(及時(shí)地) rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident(信心) in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success”.
Attitude(態(tài)度) decides everything. With an optimistic(樂觀) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.

Have you ever heard of Paynes Prairie(大草原)? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21,000 acres. This protected land is called a reserve, which is managed by the Florida Park Service.
The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone(石灰石)broke down and the ground settled. It is covered by wet prairie plants. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it was flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.
Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10,000 B.C.. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest farm where cattle are fed in Florida was on Paynes.
William Bartram who lived 200 years ago visited Paynes Praire in 1774. Bartram was the first person who described nature through personal experiences as well as scientific observations. At that time he called Paynes Prairie the “great Alachua Savannah". Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of animals live here in winter. The variety of animals is increased by the presence of pine flat woods, wetlands and ponds.
The Paynes Prairie Reserve State Park is open all year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for entertainment. In the park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horses. And you can see Florida as it was in the early days.
小題1:The second paragraph is mainly about   _______.
A.how the present Paynes Prairie basin came into being
B.what the present Paynes Prairie basin is covered by
C.why the present Paynes Prairie basin is unchanged
D.when the present Paynes Prairie basin began to exist
小題2:All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _______
A.the Florida Park Service manages Paynes Prairie
B.you can have fun in the Paynes Prairie Reserve State Park
C.there used to be a big cattle farm on Paynes Prairie
D.William Bartram was the first person to visit Paynes prairie
小題3:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A.call on people to protect wildlife of Paynes Prairie
B.introduce Paynes Prairie to people
C.tell people the recorded history of Paynes Prairie
D.a(chǎn)ttract people to visit Paynes Prairie
小題4:What will the writer most probably talk about in the paragraph that follows?

I’m a teacher. But there are days, like today, when I wonder why. The results of an English quiz taken by my fifth-graders were depressing. Despite my best efforts, the world of pronouns remains a mystery to them. How I wish there were a way to make the study of our language as exciting as a computer game, so the glazed (目光呆滯) looks would not appear in their eyes at the mention of the word “grammar.” I remember my husband’s words: “Why don’t you quit? You’d probably make more money by doing something else, and you wouldn’t have papers to grade every night.”
Tonight I have a stack of papers to grade, which I promised my students I would return tomorrow. But a friend, whom I haven’t seen in a year, is visiting from Belgium, and I told her I would keep this evening free.
Sitting in traffic behind a distant stoplight, it’s hard not to replay the day. A voice reports the body of a local youngster, missing for weeks, has been identified.
This missing child has had a deep effect on my students. They wondered, “If it happened to her, could it happen to me?”
My children had found the answer themselves. They got out their pencils, markers and made cards. Cards were written with words of compassion and love for a mother and father they didn’t know. Cards were filled with red hearts, golden crosses, flowers and angels. Their cards, intended to comfort others, comforted the children themselves by leading them past the anxiety, back into the world of security (安全) that should be theirs.
And then I remember why I’m still teaching. It’s the children. They’re more important than a lifetime filled with quiet evenings and more valuable than a pocket filled with money. My classroom, a child-filled world of discovery, of kindness and of caring is the real world.
It’s time to call my friend. I have promises to keep. She’ll understand. After all, she’s a teacher.
小題1:The writer wonders why she is a teacher because _____.
A.her students often play games in class
B.teaching is not a well-paid job
C.her students feel bored with grammar
D.she feels frustrated at teaching
小題2: The students’ attitude to the missing child’s parents might be that of _____.
A.doubtB.unconcern C.sympathy D.tolerance
小題3:What is the most important according to the writer?
A.A pocket filled with money.
B.The kind and caring children.
C.A lifetime filled with quiet evenings.
D.The freedom to control her own time.
小題4:What promise will the writer keep?
A.To grade papers that night.B.To help a student with homework.
C.To accept her husband’s advice.D.To meet her old friend.

People live in different parts of the world and lead different types of lives. Their lifestyles change across the different areas in the world. What is the difference between a city and country life? Let us see.
We can see the modern facilities everywhere in the city like the Internet, telephone, television and satellite communication facilities are widely available in the city. A majority of families in the city are enjoying this technological advancement.
The increasing population has led to an imbalance in human population. More and more industries have led to environmental problems like pollution.
However, the rise in economic growth has resulted in a self-centered nature of society. While technological advancement has brought the world closer, human beings have gone far apart from each other.
The country is not crowded with constructions all over. Houses are rather widely spaced with enough room for fields and gardens. The country is the only area fortunate enough to house the greens. People in the country live in close to nature. Apart from people, there is room for pets and animals that help keep a balance in nature.
Due to a lesser number of people in the country, it is not overcrowded by people. These areas have least amounts of pollution. Pollution is less also because of very less number of industries in the country. The life may not be as enjoyable as that in the city, but the people there are generous, kind and friendly. The country is the one where humanity(人性) is still alive.
Every coin has two sides to it. While we can’t enjoy expensive things and technology in the country, it is rich in its relationship with ‘nature’. The city life is modern in technology and career opportunities. However, the falling humanity and a bad environmental balance affect the bright future of city life.
小題1:What’s the main purpose of the passage? _________.
A.To persuade more people to live in the country.
B.To inform us of some information about a better life.
C.To tell us differences between city life and country life.
D.To explain why people don’t want to live in the city.
小題2:Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage? __________.
①                   ①                                       ①
A.②③④⑤⑥B.②③④⑤⑥⑦C.①②③④⑤⑥D.④⑤⑥②③
⑦                                           ⑦                ⑦
小題3: According to the passage, the main reason for pollution is ____________.
A.technology and economyB.population and industries
C.population and humanityD.industries and balance.
小題4:The underlined word in the fifth paragraph most probably refers to ___________.
A.green gasB.green buildingsC.green landsD.green animals

A.it’s up to you whether to choose city life or country life.
B.both city life and country life have advantages and disadvantages.
C.more and more people will move to the country in the future.
D.the young prefer city life while the old choose country life.

In many parts of the world,cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized, which will mean much saving,no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis,who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people. By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. And by 2020, cars will travel in convoy linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would bum about ten percent 0f the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”
小題1: We know from the passage that governments and car manufacturers        .
   A. do not believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020
   B. are devoted to the technological revolution in car industry
C. consider the predictions seriously
   D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production
小題2: Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?
   A. The car will speed up out of control.
   B. We will own as many cars as we want.
C. All cars will be driven by computers.
D. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones.
小題3:The leader of the research team believes that the present car culture will change because        .
A. cars play a very important role in daily life
B. many societies would stop functioning without cars
C. cars should not be owned by one individual
D. it causes many deaths to human society
小題4:The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy” in the last paragraph is        .
A. in line         B. sidelong
C. side by side     D. shoulder to shoulder
小題5: What will happen if cars are joined to each other electronically in 2020?
A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.
B. The weather condition will not have effect on motorists.
C. There will be less pollution caused by car.
D. All trains will burn less fuel than present.

What can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn later.
The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one’s earning potential shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.
“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.
Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism(交友狂癥). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.
But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?
“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of ‘friend’,” said Meghan Daum, who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.
小題1:The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _______.
A.if you have more friends you will not live happily
B.the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn in your late life
C.the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live
D.friends can make more money for you
小題2:According to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means________.
A.you have the ability to earn more money
B.you will not feel lonely
C.you are quite content with your life
D.you have the ability to get along with others in various situations
小題3:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship.
B.Friendship plays a more important part in our daily life than anything else.
C.Friends are currency.
D.Friends give you success.
小題4:We can learn from the passage that _______.
A.if you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future
B.graduating from college means that you can make a fortune in the future
C.friends mean a form of currency
D.friends can make you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed

Kids are far better than adults at learning how to speak multiple languages. Research now shows that very young infants might have some of the best language skills of all.

A new study suggests that babies between 4 and 6 months old can tell the difference between two languages just by looking at the speaker's face.They don't need to hear word.Sometimes between 6-8 months of age, babies raised in homes where just one language is spoken lose this ability.Babies from bilingual(雙語的) homes, on the other hand, keep the face-reading ability until they're at least 8 months old.
Researchers in Canada studied 36 babies from English-speaking families.Twelve of the babies were 4 months old,12 were 6 months old, and the rest were 8 months old.Each baby sat on his or her mother's lap and watched video clips(電影片斷) of a woman talking.The woman was fluent in both English and French.In some clips, she read from a storybook in English.In other clips, she read in French.In all of the videos there was no sound.
小題1:What is mainly discussed in the passage ?
A.Language teaching.
B.Language learning
C.Babies and language learning
D.Parents and language teaching
小題2:What do the underlined word in the second paragraph refer to ?
A.Two or more.B.Foreign.C.difficult.D.At least one.
小題3:We can know from the passage that    .
A.a(chǎn)ll the babies in the study are of the same age.
B.the babies could hear the woman's voice while watching the videos.
C.the stories the woman read were written in either French or German.
D.it's still unknown how babies could tell the difference between languages.
小題4:Why did the 8-month-old pay no attention when the language was changed ?
A.They had lost the ability to distinguish different languages.
B.They were too tired to open their eyes and fell asleep.
C.They couldn't hear what the speaker was talking about.
D.They had lost the interest in bilingual speakers.
