| Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don't think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being. When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That's why Professor Fred Lufkin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea. The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping. So it doesn't matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it's worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it's OK. Instead, it's a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past. |

| Pregnancy (妊娠) and childbirth kill more than 536 000 women a year. More than half of the cases are in Africa, according to the World Health Organization. In fact, most of the deaths are preventable, with basic medical care. The five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, long-time labor and bad abortions (流 产). Mothers' deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago in developed countries. Experts say that what kill many women are "the three delays"-the woman's delay in deciding to go to the hospital, the time she loses traveling there and the hospital's delay in starting treatment. Only about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications (并发症). Women lack education and information about birth control. Husbands and in-laws may decide where a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. However, there is no single solution for a problem with so many factors-shortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, roads and transportation- though hospital officials are trying many things now. One stopgap measure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical officers, to perform certain operations. Some African countries are now struggling to train more assistants and midwives (接生婆), and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals. But there is a long way to go. Only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital. More than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle emergencies. |
| 1. Which is not included in the five leading causes of women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Infection B. High blood pressure. C. Traveling long distances. D. Bleeding. |
| 2. The underlined word "stopgap" here probably means "_____". |
|
[ ] |
| A. final B. temporary C. effective D. instant |
| 3. What is the main idea of this passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Most problems that cause women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be treated or prevented. B. Developed countries should help African countries reduce mothers' deaths. C. The husbands in poor countries should take responsibility for their wives' deaths. D. The governments of African countries have to take more effective measures to save pregnant women. |
| 4. What is the author's attitude towards the future of preventing women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Subjective. |

| In a time of low academic (学术的) achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic (经济上的) success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little stress is put on academic instruction. In one study, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In comparison, over half the Americans chose this as one of'their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese chose group experience as one of their top three reasons while 62 percent of the more individually oriented (强调 个性发展的) Americans chose it. A stress on the importance of the group continues into Japanese primary school education Like in America, there is diversity (多样性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have primary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of finally being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. |
| 1. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. Japanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than American parents B. Japan's economic success is a result of its scientific achievements C. Japanese preschool education stresses academic instruction D. Japan's higher education is better than theirs |
| 2. More than three fifths of the American respondents (答卷者) believe that preschools should also attach importance to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. problem solving B. group experience C. parental guidance D. individually oriented development |
| 3. In Japan's preschool education, the focus is on _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. preparing children academically B. developing children's artistic interests C. developing children's potential D. improving children's personal qualities |
| 4. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens? |
|
[ ] |
| A. They can do better in their future studies. B. They can gain more group experience there. C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up. D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education. |

| The Red Panda isn't much bigger than an average size house cat. At first you may think it's a bear because of its name. They're actually a member of the raccoon (浣熊) family which you can tell if you look at their appearance. The Red Panda has a long bushy tail that is useful in two ways. It helps them stay balanced when they are high up in the trees and it keeps them warm in cold weather. Their fur is thick and reddish brown, which may be why they're known as the firefox. The Red Panda can be found in forested mountains. They're originally from the forested mountain in the Himalayas in India, Nepal and southern China. Bamboo is the most important part of their diet. They only eat the young leaves and shoots of a bamhoo plant. Red Pandas have a very low metabolic rate (代谢率) in order to deal with their low energy diet and cool environmental temperatures. They're very shy and gentle and don't hang around the wild too much during the day. If they feel endangered, they'll stand on their back legs and make a hissing (嘶嘶的) sound. Red Pandas are good climbers and spend most of their time living mainly in trees. Their claws are very strong and help them hold onto the branches. They sleep in an unusual way by curling up tightly and wrapping their tail around their head while sitting on a branch. Sometimes they'll sleep with their head beneath their chest and behind their back feet. This is the same position as an American raccoon sleeps. |
| 1. You can tell that the Red Panda is a member of the raccoon family from _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. its name B. its appearance C. its diet D. its living place |

|
[ ] |
| A. The Red Panda can only be found in India, Ncpal and southern China. B The Red Panda's tail can help it stay balanced when it is high up in the tree. C. The Red Panda eats the whole of the bamboo. D. The Red Panda has high metabolic rate when the temperature is high. |
| 3. What will Red Pandas do when they are in trouble? |
|
[ ] |
| A. They will hang around the wild during the day. B. They will climb into the trees. C. They will wrap their tails around their head. D. They will stand on their back legs and make a hissing sound. |
| 4. The Red Panda holds onto the branches with their _____. |
|

| Effective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less. Here are some hints for reading effectively. 1_____ Don't choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read. A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly. To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary. A too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help. The two extremes may at last make you give up reading. So it's better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page. 2_____ If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary at once. Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the test. This ability is quite necessary in reading. If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your "success", and your interest in reading is well encouraged. If a word really prevents you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then. I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its "troublesome image". 4_____ To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas. Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive. This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors. Day by day, your way of thinking in English will tum into a native way, which is quite important for English writing. 5_____ Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English Don't merely take English as "test". Take it as an "entertainment" instead and you will enjoy it through learning. Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like. Try to read them as loudly and impassionedly (充满激情 地) as you can. During this process, not only can you enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and youi manner of speaking English will be improved. 6_____ The last but not the least, keep on reading. If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffci from paying without gaining. |

| Dear Andy, I am an university student. I once thought life at the university is excellent, but now I changed my mind. I have three roommates, and I was the last one move into the dormitory. Last term, we got along peaceful and happily. But I find they are not willing to be with me now. They don't talk with me, and they've become even cold toward me than before. Many time, I wanted to talk with my roommates about that how I felt, but I failed to find an opening. When leaving alone, I always recall this sadness. I am an honest student. Why can I win true friendship? Yours, Li Lei ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ |
