      Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. Mr. Gordon was too stingy（吝啬）to rent a chair. Their twenty-year-old daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water’s edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately, a lifeguard was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra way. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl, with her head only just above the water, was shouting for help. She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her, she struggled with him, as drowning(溺水的) people often do. However, he was a skillful life guard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. By the time he reached it, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon had realized what had happened. They had run down to the water’s edge. Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter.
      Had the lifeguard reached her in time? Fortunately, he had. “That was quick work, young man,” Mr. Gordon said. He turned to his wife. “Give the lifeguard a dollar.” “A dollar!” Sandra cried. “Dad, how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead.” “Quite right, girl!” Mr. Gordon said, pleased by his daughter’s awareness of the value of money. He turned to his wife again and said, “She’s right. She was only half dead. Give him fifty cents.”

      A. She ran into the sea.
      B. Her life was saved by a lifeguard.
      C. She was drowned.

      B. Her mother would have saved her.
      C. She would have swum back to the beach.
      D. She would have been drowned.
      3. Why was Sandra angry with her father?

      B. He did not swim out to save her.
      C. He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness.

      资*源%库 After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?
      That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.
      However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.
      In my room, Mom’s voice compared with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.
      True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.

      A. being confident
      B. getting help from his teacher
      C. listening attentively（专心地）
      D. competing with his classmates
      6. What can be inferred from the passage?

      B. Reading made the author more sensitive.

      There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:
      I’ll never lose weight ---- I come from a fat family
      Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little.
      I am fat because I burn calories slowly
      Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism（新陈代谢）. In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.
      Exercise is boring
      Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.
      No pain, no gain
      Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.
      8. What does the author think about being fat?
      A. It is the family genes that make people fat.
      B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.
      C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from being fat.
      D. It is the consequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.
      9. According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?
      1. By taking varied exercise B. By choosing simple exercise.

C. By doing regular exercise. D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.

10. What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?

A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.

B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.

C. Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.

D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.

11. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.

B. To clarify(阐明) some false ideas about fatness and exercise.

C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.

D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.

D

If you want to help children develop language and speech skills, UCLA researchers say, listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.

The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone, the researchers found. “Adults speaking to children helps language develop, but what matters much more is the interaction，” said the study’ s lead author, Frederick Zimmerman, an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’t have much of an effect — positively or negatively — as long as it wasn’t displacing (取代) conversations between an adult and a child.

The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.

Assessed(评定) separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.

“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is,” Zimmerman said. “Although it’s mostly done unconsciously (无意识地), parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. They’ll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’re doing, such as, ‘I’m putting on your pajamas now’. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment,” she added. “If parents can carve out (分拆) some conversation time — maybe at bath time or at dinner time — that’s a wonderful thing.”

12. The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.

A. had a little effect on a child’s language development

B. could have a positive effect on a child’s language development

C. affected a child’s language development more negatively than positively

D. affected a child’s language development both negatively and positively

13. Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.

A. children should watch TV programs selectively

B. parents should let their children talk most of the time

C. the conversation between parents and children should be two-way

D. it’s no good for parents to correct their children’s mistakes when they are speaking

14. We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.

A. parents should leave a child talking alone

B. parents should let a child repeat what he or she says

C. parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper time

D. bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child

15. The underlined word “tailor” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by ________.

A. control B. improve C. pass D. adjust

How to express your anger

People can admit that their anger is not being helpful. People cannot always control what other people do or what happens around them. But people can control the way they react!

A. You can talk to a doctor.

C. Words can be extremely damaging to a relationship.

D. Try to look at the situation from the other person’s point of view.
