People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: mother’s day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days，families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries(面包师), telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays. 1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? A. Parents bring up children. B. Parents give love and care to children. C. Parents educate children to be good persons. D. Parents pass away before children grow up. 2.On Father’s Day, what do people often do? A. They wear carnations. B. They have outdoor barbecues. C. They attend religious services to honor parents. D. They visit the cemetery. 3.What do you think “florists” do? _________. A. They sell flowers. B. They make and sell bread. C. They offer enough room for having family parties. D. They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. 4.Which do you think is right about “carnation”? _________. A. It has only two kinds of colors. B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes. D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素)and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day. So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired? Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting workers in good health is due to emotional problems.” What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body. 1.What surprised the scientists a few years ago? A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood. B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work. C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue. D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins. 2.According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired? A. Challenging mental work. B. Unpleasant emotions. C. Endless tasks. D. Physical labor. 3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea? A. He agrees with them. B. He doubts them. C. He argues against them. D. He hesitates to accept them. 4.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___________. A. have some good food. B. enjoy their work C. exercise regularly D. discover fatigue toxins

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic (机械师) had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is: Great talent is not enough. I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant（顾问）who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.” There is an old saying that goes, “Job means just over broke (破产)”. And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn. When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger. 1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that________. A. he is just one of the talented people B. he is ready to help others C. he has a sharp sense of hearing D. he knows little about car repairing 2. “Live within their means” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by_______ . A. spend more than they can afford B. do in their own way C. live in their own circle D. live within what they earn 3.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author? A. They don't work hard enough. B. They lack financial intelligence. C. They don't make full use of their talents. D. They have no specialized skills. 4.The main purpose of the author is to tell us_________ . A. how young people can find a satisfactory job B. what schools should teach students C. why so many talented people are poor D. how McDonald's makes much money

Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new mobile at full price. A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phones than men. Fortunately, there’s a solution. The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe. Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem. Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mails or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone. Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a website and see the phone’s location. He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety:“60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!” 1.Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic for discussion. B. To inform us that mobile phones are useful. C. To warn us that we should be careful. D. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip. 2.The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means “ ”. habits of using mobile phones B. fear of losing mobile phones C. eagerness for new mobile phones D. independence of mobile phones 3.Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia? A. Avoiding using a phone for some time B. Learning more about modern technology C. Protecting one’s phone against any damage D. Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work 4.What is the passage mainly about? Attitude towards mobile phones B. New mobile phone technology C. Disadvantages of mobile phones D. Solutions to nomophobia

Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how. Plan your time carefully When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First, arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time. Find a good place to study Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios or TV! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. Make good use of your time in class Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says. Study regularly When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer. Develop a good attitude towards the tests The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. It helps you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried. There are other methods that might help you with your study. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
