Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong? Or, wanted to show   1  at a party but the song you’d practised so many times suddenly   2  more difficult?
I’ve had both these  3 . As a Senior 3 student, I have to   4  many exams. Each time, I enter one, thinking “I   5  fail this time.”
But don’t be surprised --- it’s not   6   we don’t try, or don’t do enough preparation,   7 don’t take it seriously. On the contrary, it is because we put ourselves under too much   8 . It is thinking: “I must…” that makes us taste the terrible flavor of  9 ．
We often   10  to our friends: “Don’t be too hard   11  yourself!” But when we   12  our own goals, we may not listen to our own advice．
In doing so, we are making our path to success increasingly difficult．
So why not   13 this crazy pursuit(追求)to get the best? Just face the problem   14  before you with a calm mind, enjoy the hard work and you will succeed．
In my opinion,   15  a calm state of mind is a skill for life. For people who want to succeed, 16  this is a very important lesson．
So   17   time when you’re trying to draw a straight line or   18  a performance, tell yourself: “If I can just do it better than last time, it’s a   19 ． ”
Keep a calm state of mind, and you will be happy   20  you succeed or fail．

In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical(熱帶的)Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen becomes the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that are called hurricanes, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as soft circling wind hundreds — even thousands — of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the southeast winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist(潮濕) air flows in at the bottom of such a wind, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process(過程), the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is changed to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to move in a counter-clockwise motion(逆時針運動).
The life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released(釋放) by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction(毀滅) in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours, causing sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea — the mountains of water moving toward the hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
小題1:When is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane?
A．When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.
B．When it hits the coastline.
C．When it is more than 75 miles wide.
D．When its winds reach 75 miles per hour.
小題2:What is the worst thing about hurricanes?
A．The terrible effects of water. B．The heat they give off.
C．That they last about nine days. D．Their strong winds.
小題3:Here the word “downpour” means ______.
A．heavy rainfall
B．dangerous waves
C．the progress of water to the hurricane center
D．the increasing heat
小題4:Which statement about a hurricane is wrong?
A．It travels more than 75 miles per hour.
B．It usually stays about 9 days.
C．It usually causes 6 to 12 inch downpours.
D．It sometimes brings the sea water level to the height of 15 feet.

Animal experts in Croatia say a bear has learned how to trick people to let him in by knocking at the door.
They believe the 220- kilogram brown bear probably learned the trick while nudging (輕推) a door to get it to open.
Experts have a guess that the nudging was mistaken by the owners for knocking and that the bear, pleased by the result, repeated the trick.
The Loknar family from Gerovo in western Croatia said the bear had knocked at their door three times and they were now refusing to answer the door.
‘We jumped out of the window as he came in through the door and went into the kitchen to take some food for the first time.” Mum Nevenka Loknar told a reporter from a local newspaper. “I opened the door and saw him standing there and I didn’t believe my eyes at first, then I ran for it as he walked in as if it was the most normal- thing in the world.”
Bears are a common thing in the woods around here, but no one has ever heard of a bear that knocks at the door.
Mum Nevenka Loknar said, “The bear is so intelligent. It’s incredible. We’ve tried to put up lots of obstacles to stop him coming in, like a wire fence but he still gets through. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew how to use wire cutters (鋼絲剪).”
小題1:According to experts in Croatia, how did the bear learn the trick?
A．By knocking at the door several times.B．By accident.
C．By learning from the owner of a family.D．By imitation.
小題2:What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Eating at the kitchen.B．Knocking at the door.
C．Walking into the house.D．Answering the door.
小題3:It is ________ in Gerovo that a bear knocks at the door.
A．unusualB．a(chǎn) troubling problem
C．commonD．a(chǎn)n exciting experience
小題4:Mum Nevenka Loknar was surprised that the bear ________.
A．didn’t attack her family
B．knew how to use wire cutters
C．jumped across her wire fence three times
D．was clever at getting through the obstacles

The popular college rankings focus primarily on prestige as measured by the SAT scores of incoming students and how many applicants are turned away． An initiative（措施）started last fall by the Obama administration could help families go beyond these limited, and far too easily exploited, indexes to learn quickly and easily how a college is compared with its competitors nationally on important criteria like graduation rates, what a degree actually costs and how much debt a student can expect to run up by graduation day．
If the federal government makes it legally necessary to disclose this information in a clear and consistent（一貫的）way, as it should, families will be better able to make informed college choices． And this will help put pressure on colleges that perform poorly to improve．
Critics may regard this initiative as an example of government overreach． But given that the federal government spends nearly $190 billion a year on higher education aid to students, it has a legitimate interest in making sure that the money flows to the schools that best meet their responsibilities to families and students．
Congress has taken some steps to require greater transparency（透明）from colleges． The 1990 Student Right to Know Act, for example, required colleges and universities that receive federal aid to disclose graduation rates． And the 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act required schools to offer a way for consumers to determine actual costs after student aid is taken into account．
But many colleges have done a poor job of obeying federal disclosure rules, and much of the available information is not in one place． The administration’s new efforts would enforce reporting requirements and provide some new tools．
President Obama wants to expand campus-based aid to about $10 billion from the current $2．7 billion． He has proposed moving money away from colleges that fail to control tuition increases or provide good value to others that do a better job． That is a worthy idea in principle, but he will need strong data-based evidence to determine how colleges are doing．
The transparency initiatives are a good place to start and should be embraced by both parties in Congress． If students and families, facing higher tuition and rising debt, are to make sound choices, they need more and better information．
小題1:Why did the Obama administration start the initiative last fall?
A．To require colleges to make their graduation rates known to the public．
B．To help colleges perform better in the future．
C．To help parents and students make better choices of colleges．
D．To put more pressure on colleges that are not doing well enough．
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Critics agree that the government should require colleges to obey the disclosure rules．
B．Congress has approved and made the transparency initiatives a law．
C．SAT scores alone do not determine one’s choice of college．
D．Students and families find it very difficult to choose their ideal colleges now．
小題3:A most suitable title for the passage could be______．
A．Congress To Require Greater Transparency
B．What College Parents and Students Need to Know
C．What a Good College Is Measured By
D．Parents and Students Need to Make Wise Choices
小題4:What attitude does the author hold towards the transparency initiative?
A．supportiveB．criticalC．indifferentD．not stated

Donna
ANSWER:
Hi there,
Your best and easiest way is to do some chemistry experiments. Those are very easy and most probably you can do it in the lab and have charts, etc. for you. I do not have any particular one at the top of my head because I do cancer research and it is a bit more difficult than research for teenagers.

In the 1960s Professor Bolin predicted that the “greenhouse effect”, caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, would lead to important changes in the Earth’s climate. At the time his prediction were regarded as science fiction. But it is now gradually agreed that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will double from 0.03% to 0.06% in the next 50 years and that temperatures worldwide will rise by 2°Celsius.
Although a temperature rise of 2°may not seem significant, the local effects may be much greater: in polar regions a rise of 10°by 2025 is expected and in Northern Europe a rise of 4°. Indeed the first effects were expected to be felt before the end of the 20th century,
But how does the “greenhouse effect”operate and why should such a tiny proportion（比例）of CO2 have such a harmful effect? When living creatures breathe out or when things are burned, CO2 enters the atmosphere. Until recently all of this was absorbed by plants, which converted it back into oxygen.
However, the balance of nature has been disturbed. In power stations, in factories and in our cars, we are burning more and more fossil fuels( coal, oil and natural gas ) and this produces huge quantities of CO2---18 billion tons of it enter the atmosphere every year. Added to this, the destruction of forests means that less CO2 can be converted into oxygen by plants. So, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year.
小題1:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Professor Bolin’s predictions were taken seriously in the first place
B．Only a small portion of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide
C．No changes in climate will become noticeable for 50 years or more
D．The rise in temperature will probably be 2 degrees in every part of the world.
小題2:The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year because       .
A．Carbon dioxide is produced when we breathe
B．Carbon dioxide is produced when we burn things
C．More forests are destroyed and more fossil fuels are burned
D．The global temperature keeps rising
小題3:The “greenhouse effect”refers to         
A．the problem of the rising global temperature
B．the problem of increasing population worldwide
C．the problem of decreasing population worldwide
D．the problem of air pollution
小題4:The underlined word“operate”in the third paragraph most probably means“      ”.
A．playB．moveC．manageD．function

   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.
小題1: People sometimes complain _________.
A．the sky is always darkB．their studies are successful

Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice

Others __46__ to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
One common mistake is choosing an occupation for __47__ real or imagined prestige (聲望).
Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, __48__ both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal __49__. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is __50__ good reason for choosing it as life’s work. __51__, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the __52__ of young people should give serious __53__ to these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants __54__ life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take __55__ for financial gain.
