| They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules (骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly. The next day, after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon-by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world. We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, "STOP, TAKE US BACK!" When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back. As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I'd suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness. |
| 1. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph? |
|
[ ] |
| A. They made a careful preparation before the trip. B. The children were more joyful than their parents. C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected. |
| 2. The underlined expression "Our legs were like jelly" probably means _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. we were weak B. we were unhappy C. we were dissatisfied D. we were disappointed |
| 3. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air? |
|
[ ] |
| A. It proved to be frightening. B. It was more comfortable. C. It turned out to be exciting. D. It made each of them tired. |
| 4. We can infer from the passage that _____. |
|
[ ] |

| It's not easy being a teenager-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you'll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don't insist he should tell you what's on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he'll clam up. Instead,let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time,remind him that you're always there for him, should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager's privacy. Never read his mail or listen to personal conversations. Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family's telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for l5 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job. |
| 1. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. how to get along with a teenager B. how to respect a teenager C. how to understand a teenager D. how to help a teenager grow up |
| 2. What does the phrase "clam up" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? |
|
[ ] |
| A. become excited B. show respect C. refuse to talk D. seek help |
| 3. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. to use the phone in a sensible way B. to pay for his own telephone C. to share the phone with friends D. to answer the phone quickly |
| 4. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs. B. Give him advice only when necessary. C. Let him have his own telephone. D. Not talk about personal things with him. |

| We could all see the Murray Uiver slowly moving back, but now all the water was gone. I couldn't believe that the Murray had dried up, not one drop of water left. One morning I went down to the river to try and catch some fish when I saw my boat high and dry (搁浅) on the bank. I rushed down the river and saw all mud-no water. The fish were just lying there, dying. I looked up to see if my friend was there. There was the nest but no eagle (鹰). I called out to her with my special whistle which I made out of steel. Suddenly a big shadow came over to me and the eagle landed in her nest and gave her young the food she was out getting while I whistled. But then I suddenly noticed she was getting thinner and had a bit of sheep's wool in the side of her talon (利爪). It was deadly quiet by the river bank, except for some sound from my dog. And also I couldn't see one native animal or bird. When I walked inside the kitchen, Mum and Dad had sad looks on their faces. "It's time for us to move, Son, because the river can no longer provide for (养活) us," said Dad. I ran out of the kitchen door with tears in my eyes, and down to the river bank, to my favorite spot. I said goodbye to my eagle, crying. When it was time to go, I saw my eagle fly up into the air with her chicks in her talons, going away to try and find another home, just like us. |

| "High income is not as good as high age, and high age is not as good as high spirits." Generally speaking, the rich are happier because money can purchase goods and services and it is the consumption (消费) of these materials that increases one's enjoyment of life.

Dancing, jogging, dieting, even singing and shouting together are said to do good to one's health. Nevertheless, some people think that high spirits is vital to the quality of one's life. If you are in high spirits, you'll find everything pleasing and comfortable in life: warm sunshine, blue sky, white clouds, happy birds, comfortable breeze, sweet smiles, and so on. You seem to have the friends across the world. Your life will be happy at every moment. You will have a good health and can make more money if you live longer.
