Well, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard. I don’t really understand how it happened, but it did. I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn’t see another day, but I always thought I’d overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat’s lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn’t see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I’d never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate——and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help!” and they heard me. Then another yacht appeared. These guys were terrific. They gave me dry clothes, and then one jumped into the bunk and hung onto me. They covered us with as much dry clothing as they could, and the guy in with me stayed to transfer his body heat to me.
小題1:The author of the passage was alone in the sea NOT because ______.
A．the wind was too strongB．the wave hit the boat
C．the safety belt was brokenD．his boat was in the darkness
小題2:He was not saved by his crew because ______.
A．he didn’t yell out “Help!”B．300 meters was long distance

小題3:It was inferred from the passage that ______.
A．he was swept overboard at about midnight
B．Wild One was the name of a crew member
C．he started ocean racing at about seven
D．he was too hopeless to take the last chance
小題4: One of the guys who saved him jumped into the bunk in order to ______.

Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad­mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten­minute walk, or doing some quick  exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we've had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(悲觀的) messages you've been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don't have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood­lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(復(fù)雜的) but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to­do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas,  you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won't improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
小題1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A．Doing nothing about it.
B．Exercising and enjoying music.
C．Writing down negative thoughts.
D．Talking about it with neighbors.
小題2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A．It helps remove bad mood.
B．It brings us a new technique.
C．It is not complicated to do so.
D．It is an area to be easily controlled.
小題3:TV may not improve your mood because it ________.
A．shows what happens around you
B．does not energize you
C．reminds you of eating and drinking
D．produces a calming effect
小題4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．Energy Level and Stress
B．How to Beat a Bad Mood
C．Bad Mood and Our Life
D．How to Control Your Feeling

Window
Bill and John，both seriously ill，lived in the same room at Marie Hospital．John lived next to the only window of the room and was allowed to  36 in his bed and watch for an hour every day．But Bill had to spend all his time  37 on his back．
They became friends soon and talked for hours every day．They spoke of their families，their children，their hobbies，and their  38 in the American army．Each day John would sit up and  39 to his roommate Bill what he could see outside the window．
Through John’s description，Bill’s world was  40 and brightened by all the activities and colors of the outside world．The window overlooked a beautiful park with a lovely  41 ,John told Bill．Ducks played on the water  42 children sailed their model boats．And a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance．As John described all these  43 ,Bill would close his eyes and  44 the picturesque scene．Bill was recovering  45 . However，John became weak day by day．
Late one night，Bill was lying in bed  46 the ceiling when John began to cough seriously．Then doctors and nurses rushed to the room．Thirty minutes later, John  47 coughing．Now，there was only silence—  48 silence．
The following morning，Bill was moved to the bed next to the window at his request．Slowly and
  49 ，he supported himself up on one elbow （胳膊）to take the first look．But to his  50 ，he could see nothing but a  51 wall．
Only at that moment did he begin to realize that the pursuit（追求）of happiness was a matter of  52 ．It was a positive attitude we chose to express．It was not a gift that was  53 to our doorstep each morning，nor did it come through the window．It was all inward journey．Whether a man is happy or not depends on his own thoughts  54 anything outward．
So Bill began to describe the  55 world to his new roommate that he saw through the only window of the room.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects （缺陷） that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   36 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   37  .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been   38  for years—often from   39  childhood. These stories may have no   40   in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作機(jī)械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  41 my development? I was never  42 to work on cars or be around 43 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later,   44 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I  45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.”  On the  46 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life  47  and told him about my  48 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  49  is it that you can solve  50  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   51  from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   53  my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.  54  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost  55 we choose.

When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”
This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (細(xì)菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.
If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.
After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize hot to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.
When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.
After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.
小題1:When you cough or sneeze, you should ________.
A．touch everythingB．cover your mouth
C．point out to the kidsD．pass the germs to others
小題2:If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better _______.
A．hold the doorB．pass throughC．close the doorD．stand to the side
小題3:From the passage we ca know the writer is a ________.
A． doctorB．travelerC．parentD．teacher
小題4:A. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the rules of behavior in public         B. the easy of communication

Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented．Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit．
If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them how they should behave．They are depending upon you to keep them safe．Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too．
Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle．Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too．
And never put a crying child on a ride．If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed．Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do． 
Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park．Let them take plenty of breaks．
“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four．“Tired kids make parents even more tired．And tired kids and parents may get hurt — physically and emotionally．” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds．“You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening．”
小題1:The second paragraph tells readers that ________．
A．children should be trained to be more independent
B．a(chǎn)dults should tell children some safety rules firstly
C．a(chǎn)dults should set a good example to behave well in a theme park
D．there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park
小題2:Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?
A．They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar．
B．They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out．
C．They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride．
D．Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride．
小題3:If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ________．
A．tell him to be relaxedB．make him share your interest
C．give up the present activityD．encourage him to be brave
小題4:We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ________．
A．he doesn’t like to visit a theme park with his children
B．parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park
C．not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park
D．visitors should arrange everything carefully before starting
