Dear Alice,
You really have two different questions here, so we’ll discuss them one at a time. Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things . You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other. It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautious(謹(jǐn)慎的) in the first term.
It’s also possible that the others are unkind. If this is so, you have to find out why you are the class “outsider”.
In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work. Is it possible that your classmates don’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to “ buy” friends with these offers?
Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friends near you ? They may have felt hurt at that time. It may take a time for them to believe in you if so. Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is. If you hear a negative answer, at least you’ll know what to do.
Yours truly,
Shelia

Again, his   5   was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the  6   because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and  7       in a hurry. Remember?”

My heart sank. I felt  11   . I hugged Keith and asked him to  12    me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question. Kevin’s answer was as immediate as his  13   , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forgot about it.”
Though Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The  14   thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was I’d made a promise too  15    and didn’t keep it as their father.

As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly   27   ．He had few   28   and no self-confidence．One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment（作業(yè)）．The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird．Now they were to write their own chapter that would   29    the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it   30  ．Today he can not recall anything   31 
about the chapter he wrote, or what   32   Mrs．Branch gave him．What he does remember is the four words Mrs．Brach wrote in margin（空白處）of the paper：“This is   33  writing.”
Four words．They   34    his life.
“   35    I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or   36  I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been   37   of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs．Brach to evaluate．She was   38    , tough and honest.“She was just what I

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

What exactly is a lie ?Is it anything we say which we know is untrue ?Or is it something more than that ?For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you, but I am short of money myself.” In fact , you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie ?
Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it’s terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise that they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at :the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face, particularly the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose  is very sensitive to changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.
Another gesture that gives liars away is what the writer Decmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls the “mouth cover”. He says that there are several typical forms of this ,such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side off the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious(未察覺的) attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself from lying.
Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth , moving about in a chair can not be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to happen more often in this situation. It is one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things , and in particular the context(上下文) which the lie is told.
小題1:According to the passage, a white lie seems to be a lie ______.
A．that other people believe
B．that other people don’t believe
C．told in order not to hurt someone’s feelings
D．told in order to take advantage of someone
小題2:Research suggests that women _____.
A．a(chǎn)re better at telling less serious lies than men
B．generally lie for more than men do
C．often make promises they intend to break
D．lie at parties more often than men do
小題3:Researchers find that when a person tells lies _____.
A．his blood pressure increases measurably
B．he looks very serious
C．he is likely to make some small changes in his behavior
D．he uses his unconscious mind
小題4:The writer of the passage______.
A．hates lyingB．enjoys lyingC．often tells a lieD．tries to study about lying
小題5:Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a sign of lying ?
A．Touching one’s earsB．Rubbing the nose
C．Moving in a chairD．Covering the mouth

                         HANS Christian Andersen put Denmark on the map of the world literature with his stories The Emperor's New Clothes, The Little Mermaid （小美人魚） and The Ugly Duckling．Now Copenhagen, the country's capital, has become the center of the world political map, with 190 world leaders attending the climate talks there, not to mention thousands of reporters．
Just how much do you know about the Scandinavian country?
Denmark is famous for its design culture．At the heart of “Danish Design” is the idea that, as poet and designer Piet Hein puts it: “There is one art, not more, nor less, [and that is] to do all things with artlessness （樸實(shí)）”．
Danish design places equal emphasis on practicality and quality．From Lego toys to furniture, Danish products are known for their clean lines, simplicity and functionality．“Remove material where it's not needed．Keep things simple and functional and make them carefully,” explained Hans J．Wegner, the first Danish designer to achieve worldwide fame: “The aim is not to create a work of art, but to produce a good chair．”
“The Danes have done a better job than most in promoting arts in Europe, considering their country's size and population, in the fields of architecture, sculpture and design,” writes Helena Smith, reporter with British newspaper the Guardian．
The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there．Some even claim that the Danes have the highest quality of life of any nation in the world．
Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American who has lived and worked in Denmark for more than 30 years, explaining why she chooses to live in Denmark rather than the US, told Germany's biggest news weekly Der Spiegel: “I just chose a simpler lifestyle, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I don't have to make a great living to survive．”
小題1:What’s the writer’s purpose of mentioning Denmark’s literature?
A．To show the readers that Denmark is best known for its stories．
B．To arouse readers’ interest in Denmark．
C．To tell the readers that this passage is related to literature．
D．To show why Denmark can attract so many political leaders．
小題2:What is Denmark famous for according to the passage?
A．Design cultureB．Making chairs
C．Writing poemsD．Climate prediction
小題3:Which statement is true according to the passage?
A．Danish design pays more attention to arts than its function．
B．Danish products don’t need much material．
C．Danish people like to keep simple life．
D．Compared with other countries in Europe, Denmark does little in promoting arts．
小題4:In Piet Hein’s opinion, the characteristic of Danish culture is _____________．
A．CreativeB．ComplicatedC．ImpracticalD．Simple
小題5:What is the best title for the passage?

Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior I student in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher, But if she is still in your school , nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance.In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies , or even your life.
Editor

A book      B newspaper   C poster     D advertisement

This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life．
Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling．The author, W．H．Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing．In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself．The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees．Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text．I’ve seen it again and again: someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all．
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history．He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透徹地) and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history．Well, he was a history teacher — if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across．To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts．As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind．Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics．
My other comment is that the text aged．The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s — none of the references(參考文獻(xiàn))seem newer than the late 1950s．As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age．
These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion．I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student．
小題1:According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________．
A．gain knowledge and expand one’s view
B．understand the meaning between the lines
C．express ideas based on what one has read
D．get information and keep it alive in memory
小題2:The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________．
A．requires great effortsB．demands real passion
C．is less natural than learning mathsD．is as natural as learning a language
小題3:What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?
A．Some ideas are slightly contradictory．
B．There is too much discussion on studying science．
C．The style is too serious．
D．It lacks new information．
小題4:This passage can be classified as________．
A．a(chǎn)n advertisementB．a(chǎn) book review
C．a(chǎn) feature story D．a(chǎn) news report
