      not be the wisest person on this planet. but I will tell you a little       to happiness: Help others and live life. It is that simple. Just help a friend study for a test, or       at a nursing home . I learned this after a long, hard search.

I was feeling really       because my friend had died. Then I started a six week work at a nursing home all day every Saturday for free. My routine was to      the meal and clean up. After that, I       wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do.

One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all right. In the room I found a boy of eight       in his bed watching a movie. I was      to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home       for the aged. He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him. He motioned for me to sit down. I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness.

We started to talk, and I found out that his family       visited, and all he did every day was watch TV. I wanted to cry for him, and for my lost friend. As we talked, he had a smile on his face, and I asked him why.

"The entire two hours I've been here you've never lost that smile.      this horrible disease, how do you still       to stay happy?"

He thought for a while, and then said that too many people are dead even before they stop       .They walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have       to live for.

The boy said that he would not be like that. He wakes every morning       to see another sunrise. He keeps his window open so that he can       the flowers and feelthe heat of the sun. He also said that he has hope.

"Too many people haven't seen much of       is around here," he said," Life is full of hope and we need to live life       it is gone. "

I don’t know what happened to him. I assume he      , but his lesson lives on. I now wake up and live each day to the       . The key to life is not money or fame, but the lessons we learn from it.

The new high speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region, and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.

The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.

"For the first time, I feel home is not that far away after all," said Liang shaofu as he boarded a high speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.

The 35 year old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago, and he has now settled in Urumqi.

The 1,776 km line, which passes through Qinghai province and is the country's first high speed railway built in a high altitude region, came into service on Dec 26.

"We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season," Liang said. "Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes, so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.

More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month, and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.

The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development. All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link, leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result, Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million.

The line passes through areas that experience high winds, and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bone dry sands of the Gobi Desert.

The project could help China to promote its high speed railway technology abroad, said Ma Xizhang, director of the Lanzhou Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang.

1. How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?

A. about 12 hours.     B. About 6 hours.

C. About 18 hours.     D. About 24 hours.

2.What’s the main advantage of the new high speed railway?

A. It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou.

B. It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.

C. All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.

D. It helps to improve Xinjiang’s development.

3.From the passage we can learn _______.

A. Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can increase nearly four times

B. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad

C. the high speed railway lines can’t be built across the bone dry sands

D. the old railway lines can only carry goods now

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The new high speed railway line is good for all people to go home.

B. The new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.

C. Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou.

D. Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

1.Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?

A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.

B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.

C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.

D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

2.It is suggested in this passage that_______.

A. close relation usually have similar intelligence

B. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence

C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence

D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence

3.The phrase “at random”(Line3, para.2) means _______ .

A. purposely         B. frequently

C. aimlessly          D. independently

4.The best title for this article would be_______.

A. What Dose Intelligence Mean ?

B. On Intelligence

C. We Are Born with Intelligence

D. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence

So long as teachers fail to distinguish(区别) between teaching and learning, they will continue to try to do for children what only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."

Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity: It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny(审查).

If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them correctly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated(消除). Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.

1. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that____.

A. it is one of the most difficult school courses

B. students spend endless hours in reading

C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance

D. too much time is spent in teaching of reading

2.The teaching of reading will be successful if ____.

A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students

B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading

C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading

D. teachers can make their teaching activities observably

3.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ____.

A. children become highly motivated

B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable

C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge

D. reading enriches children’s experience

4.The main idea of the passage is that ____.

A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read

B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible

C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught

D. reading is more complicated than generally believed
