Many Chinese kids, known as "left-behind" children, hardly ever see their parents, because their parents are migrant workers.
Li Ling, 11, is a left-behind child. Her parents have been working in Zhejiang for 10 years, while she lives with her grandparents in Guangdong. She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival. As the number of migrant workers in China increases, the number of left-behind children is rising fast. Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17. They account for 37. 7 percent of rural children and 21. 88 percent of all Chinese children
The large number of left-behind children has already become a social issue. If left unsolved, it will cause serious problems, Wang Zhenyao, director of the China Philanthropy Research Institute, told China Daily. The education level of adults supervising（監(jiān)管） these children is generally not that high. They can only take care of the children's personal safety and daily living, being unable to care for their educational and spiritual needs. Meanwhile, the absence of parental support will make some left-behind children lack self-confidence. They may be slower in physical and emotional growth than their peers. Others may even become "problem youths".
To solve this problem, the government is taking action. For instance, 30 provinces and cities have allowed certain children to attend school and take the college entrance exam in the city where their parents are. However, Wang suggested that the country do more, such as making policies encouraging migrant workers to work in their hometowns. He also said that a well-balanced child welfare system is needed. "These children are the future of the nation, so they deserve our loving care and protection," Wang said.
小題1:Left-behind kids hardly see their parents because _______.

試題分析：
全國17歲以下留守兒童人數(shù)眾多，他們缺少教育和父母關愛，導致他們缺乏自信、生理心理成長緩慢，有些成為問題少年。雖然各地采取了一些措施，但還有許多問題有待解決。
小題1:細節(jié)題。由第一段Many Chinese kids, known as "left-behind" children, hardly ever see their parents, because their parents are migrant workers.一句可知，留守兒童很難見到父母是因為他們的父母是農(nóng)民工，農(nóng)民工專指在外地城市謀生的農(nóng)民。故選擇C項。
小題2:細節(jié)題。由第二段She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival一句可知，Li Ling 去年春節(jié)與父母團聚了，排除A項；第三段最后一句Others may even become "problem youths"表明只是部分留守兒童成為問題少年，排除B項；第二段Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17一句說明17歲以下留守兒童有6100多萬，C項說的是全部留守兒童有6100多萬，排除。最后一段Wang suggested that the country do more說明國家還有許多可做。故選擇D項。
小題3:主旨大意題。全文先介紹了17歲以下留守兒童目前的數(shù)量，接下來討論了留守兒童因為缺乏教育和父母關愛而存在的問題，最后說明一些地方采取的措施以及有待解決的問題。A項文章無依據(jù)；C,D兩項只涉及文章一個方面，不能涵蓋全文。故選擇B項。
小題4:推斷題。留守兒童是一個社會問題。本文主要討論的不是教育問題，排除A項；不是娛樂問題，也不是就業(yè)問題，排除C,D兩項。故B項正確。

Italy is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue. That is, except in the small town of Piobbico, the self-declared World Capital of Ugly People. The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone. People who consider themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s. That’s when Ugly Club president Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands. Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where long or large noses have always been considered beautiful.
People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly, which occurs on the first Sunday of every September, hundreds of people gather in Piobbico’s town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20, 000 members. They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme. A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.
The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone, they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly people, on the other hand, are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody, according to Lacobelli.
Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is, the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty, especially beauty contests, Lacobelli has a serious side as well. He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they don’t meet society’s standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.
小題1:Piobbico is rather special in that     .
A．it is a very small townB．it is home to ugly people
C．it receives no visitorsD．it is the capital of Italy
小題2:Why is Lacobelli elected the president of the Ugly Club every year?
A．Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world.
B．Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable.
C．Because he is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere.
D．Because he has won the members’ trust and admiration.
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Ugly people are most respected in Italy.
B．The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years.
C．Ugly people are unfairly treated in society.
D．The uglier one is, the better life he or she lives.
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．The Ugly Capital of the WorldB．The Ugliest Person of the World
C．Festival of the UglyD．Beauty Contests Should be Banned

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒)my luck?”“And Paul-why didn’t he pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?”When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.”that’s being friendly. But“l(fā)ucky dog”?There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ”is another noise that says one thing and means another . It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up(包藏) in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s got a date for Saturday night? Good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture(姿態(tài))?The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.
小題1:This passage is mainly about_____.
A．how to interpret(understand) what people say
B．what to do when you listen to others talking
C．how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D．why we go wrong with people sometimes
小題2:According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that_______.
A．we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B．we tend to（傾向）doubt what our friends say
C．people usually state one thing but means another
D．people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
小題3:In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.”In the second paragraph, the pronoun “it”refers to____.
A．being friendlyB．a(chǎn) bit of envyC．lucky dogD．your luck
小題4:When we listen to a person talking , the most important thing for us to do is _______.
A．notice the way the person is talking
B．take a good look at the person talking
C．mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes

Travel Unaccompanied
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone．
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents．
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone．It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own．
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year．He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old．
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
小題1:Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

If you live in America in the 21st century you'll probably have to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are. It's become the default response when you ask anyone how they are doing: “Busy!” “Crazy busy!”. It is, pretty obviously, a boast disguised as a complaint. And the common response is a kind of congratulation:“ That's a good problem to have, ”or“ Better than the opposite.”
Notice it isn't generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU or commuting by bus to three minimum-wage jobs who tell you how busy they are. What those people are is not busy but tired. Exhausted! Dead on their feet. It's almost always people whose busyness is purely self-imposed work and obligations they've taken on voluntarily, classes and activities they've “encouraged” their kids to participate in. They're busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because they're addicted to busyness and dread that they might have to face in its absence.
Almost everyone I know is busy. They feel anxious and guilty when they aren't either working or doing something to promote their work. It's something they have chosen. Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance(令人安心的保證），a measure against emptiness, obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or tiny or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.
Idleness is not just a vacation. It is as necessary to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as ugly as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration.” Idle dreaming is often the essence of what we do”, wrote Thomas Pynchon. Archimedes' “Eureka” in the bath, Newton's apple :history is full of stories of inspirations that come in idle moments.
小題1:When many Americans say “Crazy busy”, they mean______.
A．they are really tired of their present situation
B．they are really proud of their present life
C．they are complaining about their current work
D．their life are full of all kinds of problems
小題2:The writer mentions Archimedes'“Eureka” and Newton's apple to show that________.
A．history is full of interesting stories
B．Archimedes and Newton were very busy, so they made great discoveries
C．people may get inspiration when they are idle
D．inspirations come from hard work
小題3:The word “its” in the second paragraph refers to_________________.
ambition      B. anxiety         C. busyness        D. dread
小題4:From the article, we can infer that ___________________.
A．generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU tell you they are busy
B．“Dead on their feet” means “being tired out”
C．a(chǎn)ll the kids are self-imposed due to the drive and motivation
D．The author seems to agree that idleness is better than busyness

You may have seen a lot of frogs, but if you haven't, you must have heard about frogs. However, have you heard about a frog that can kill a person?
These small brightly colored amphibians (兩棲動物) live in the tropical  rain forests of Central and South America. They are best known for their ability to kill persons even though they are no more than 2 inches long. If we touch their poisonous skin without proper protection (such as gloves), we may die! For animals of this size that can be so deadly, they are certainly one of the world's most poisonous animals! Who are they? They are poison arrow frogs or, simply, poison frogs.
Poison frogs acquired their name from the Indians. The Indians catch and kill many of these frogs before hanging them upside down over a campfire. As the frogs get hot, the poison drips out of their skin. The Indians collect the poisonous liquid in a bottle and dip(蘸) the tips of their arrows into the bottle. Once the tips are dried, they are ready to be used for their arrows for hunting.
There are about 170 different types of poison arrow frogs in the world. Though most species have bright markings, either in stripes or patches, on their black bodies, some just wear noticeable single-colored coats. Their shocking skin colors-usually in yellow, red, green, blue or orange-serve as a warning sign to other animals. The sign simply says,” Stay away or pay with your life!” They certainly do not bluff.
小題1:We can infer that the Indians may kill poison frogs in order to______.
A．treat diseasesB．a(chǎn)void being bitten
C．hunt animalsD．eat their meat
小題2:According to the passage,  poison frogs______.
A can grow to several meters long                   B. like to change colors on the back
C. have bright-colored skin or markings            D. are on the edge of dying out
小題3:Which of the following best explains the last sentence of the passage?
A．Poison frogs don't want to kill others.
B．Poison frogs do not just scare others.
C．Poison frogs want to stop others from coming near.
D．Poison frogs just pretend to be dangerous animals.
