You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．
Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．
When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附著) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．
小題1: The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.
A．make a comparisonB．offer an evidence
C．introduce a topic D．describe a daily scene
小題2: How can negative people have effect on us?
A．By influencing our emotion．B．By telling us the nature of life．
C．By changing our ways of thinking．D．By comparing their attitudes to life with ours．
小題3: Some negative people base their happiness on _______.
A．other people’s pity for them B．making other people unhappy

A．change negative people’s attitudes to life
B．show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C．make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
D．communicate with negative people as little as possible
小題5:What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?
A．Favorable．B．Critical. C．Indifferent. D．Supportiv

小題1:C
小題1:A
小題1:B
小題1:D
小題1:B

小題1:推理判斷題。由第一段可以概括得知，這是用一個電話的實例來引出下文要談論的話題。
小題1:推理判斷題。文章第二段第二句It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time可知，消極的人是通過改變我們的情緒來影響我們。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段They only feel glad when they make others feel bad可知，消極的人是把自己的快樂建立在別人的痛苦之上的，故B是正確的。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。由文章第五段Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people及say what needs to be said as little as possible知，與消極的人盡量少說話，故D項正確。
小題1:推理判斷題。通過概括全文可以得知，作者對negative people持批評態(tài)度，故選B。A項贊成的，C項冷漠的，D項支持的，都不符合題意。

A man found a cocoon of a moth. He took it home so that he could    31   the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small    32   appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to    33   the body through that little hole.
Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had    34  as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the    35   bit of the cocoon. The    36   then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven（無用的） wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and    37   to be able to support the    38  , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life    39   around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was    40   able to fly.
What the man in his kindness    41    was that the small cocoon and the    42   of the moth to get through the    43   opening was a way to push fluid(液體)   44   the body of moth  45   its wings so that it would be ready to fly    46   it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and  47   would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to    48   our lives without any difficulties, we would be disabled. We would not be as    49   as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for    50  .

The Girl with the Cut - out Face
When I was a child, I often looked through a family album. I remember asking my mother why there was a   36  cut out of a photo of a little girl. But it was   37  that my mother did not want to talk about it.
  38  I looked at the album I saw that cut - out face and   39  about it. I figured there was something   40  . When I was grown up and had almost   41  about the photo, my mother must have realized I should know her   42  . She sat me down one day and said, “That cat - up photo is   43  your Aunt Anna. She has schizophrenia（精神分裂癥）.”
But why did my mother never   44  this before? I still didn’t understand. “Because people are… were…  45  of having mental illness in the family” was the   46  . But I wanted to meet Aunt Anna, and I   47 .
My mother and I traveled to the house   48   Anna lived with an Italian family. Anna looked like a question mark on legs,   49  she had lovely, clear eyes and a gentle manner. I could see the   50  to my mother. “So nice to meet you,” she said to me. “Do you have a trunk （象鼻；行李箱）？”
Did she think that I was an elephant? No, she wanted to run   51  and hide in the trunk of my car. The family that   52  her said that she always wanted to   53 .
The last time I saw Anna she was placed in a smaller old - age facility in Brooklyn.
  54  Aunt Anna, I’m not the least bit ashamed of you. I’m   55  about you now for many to see, with your sweet young face showing under a pretty bow.
And you finally found that escape you were seeking.

Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier.
“Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger,” said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. “The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses.”
Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry.
Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust.
Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone（荷爾蒙）called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes（糖尿�。�, heart disease, depression and extra weight gain.
When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study.
“Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening（令人發(fā)狂的）situation,” Lerner said.
Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.
小題1: What is the story mainly about?
A．The findings of new psychology research.
B．What you can do with anger in certain cases.
C．Different effects produced by anger and fear.
D．Healthier responses in maddening situations.
小題2:Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?
A．It’s better to be angry than to be frightened.
B．Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life.
C．Don’t control your anger and it makes you powerful.
D．Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people.
小題3:What does the underlined word “both” refer to according to the passage?
A．Fear and anger.B．Blood pressure and pulse.
C．Blood pressure and cortiso1.
D．Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.
小題4: In what ways can anger be beneficial to people?
A．By showing their optimistic side.B．By reducing their stress.
C．By reducing high blood pressure.D．By taking the place of fear.
小題5:The researchers irritated（激怒）the students by __________.
A．recording their performance secretly
B．a(chǎn)sking them to count to 6, 200 again and again
C．disturbing them and making them start all over again
D．criticizing them when they made mistakes

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party” means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.
But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.
For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.
小題1:What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Choice.B．TryC．Style.D．Goal
小題2:What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?
A There is a strange mix of people.       B. The restaurants are expensive.
C. The bill is not fairly shared.        D. People have to pay cash
小題3:What does the author think of the parties in London?
A．A bit unusualB．Full of tricks.
C．Less costly.D．More interesting.
小題4: What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience？
A．Easy-going.B．Self-centred.C． Generous.D．Conservative.
