| When I was in middle school, I was one of the smaller players on the basketball team. In our first game of the season, we were 1 to face a good team, all of whom were tall guys. Naturally, at my 2 , it would have been easy to be 3 by our competitors. On game day, my basketball coach called me over to him. He was a strong and tough coach, and in his 4 rough manner said, "Joel, you're not that 5 , but let me tell you that size doesn't matter. Don't be afraid. What 6 is right down in here." He pointed his finger at his 7 as he continued, "Joel, you've got a big heart, and you're to 8 it this year." When I heard the coach's 9 , I stood taller than usual! I thought to myself: The coach believes in me! My confidence 10 and I played better that year than I'd ever done before. It's 11 what we can achieve when we know somebody really believes in us. That coach took a little time to make a big 12 . He took time to make me confident in myself. If we're going to 13 the best in people, we need to sow seeds of 14 .

| That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. |

| An independent college claimed to have become the first school in England to make Chinese a compulsory (强制的) subject for its pupils. Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the world's fastest growing economy. Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a "handful" of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future. Mr. Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said, "One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world." "China has replaced Britain as the world's fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation's children are well-placed to thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality. "A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of the children of Brighton College." Mr. Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow pupils to learn their language. In order to lead the way, Mr. Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil."I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects." |

| A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don't laugh, it's true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say. Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained. "We don't get sick or stay well by ourselves," says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA. Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrer's research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick. We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别 的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said. |
| 1. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class. B. Because her parents used to quarrel. C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations. D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her. |
| 2. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE? |
|
[ ] |
| A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves. B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health. C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment. D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not. |
| 3. The underlined word "coma" in Paragraph2 probably means _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. surprise B. faint C. tiredness D. sadness |
| 4. The best title for this passage is _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. Family relations B. The reasons why we get sick C. Family-another cause to health D. A research about health |

| The publication of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince pleases booksellers across China. The British and American editions were No.1 and No. 3 separately on the sales chart of the Beijing Xidan Book Building last week. The book's poster is highlighted and news about the book can often be heard on the radio. Why is the book so attractive to children? With curiosity, I got a copy of "Harry Potter". At first, I wanted to glance over it and made some criticisms (批评). But, out of expectation, I have been deeply attracted by the magic world. On the other hand,one can't help asking: Where is our own "Harry Potter"? The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years. With a vast market of youngsters, China did publish many books popular among children. However, why are the present works not as good as those imported (进口的)? There come two major reasons: Firstly, quite a number of children's books are of strong sense of teaching, and lack interest and entertainment. Children often have a feeling of being "educated". No wonder they don't like them. Secondly, children's reading materials involving "idiom stories" and "Chinese talents' stories", though always in different covers, are usually much the same. Some books are plagiarized. The authors take words, ideas from someone else's work. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. In final analysis, the authors of the books seldom take children's requirements into consideration. As a matter of fact, each child has his own wonderful imagination. They hope to understand the world and nature. Similarly they have their own choices. They dislike similar stories.even if the stories are excellent. First- class reading for children should be very interesting, which contains knowledge and the essence (精髓) of national culture, which are presented in children's language. Market is a touchstone for products. The theory also holds true for cultural products. It is hoped that the authors of children's books can learn something from the good market of "Harry Potter" and write out more and better books loved by children. |
| 1. Our books have the following disadvantages EXCEPT that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. they have little sense of interest and entertainment B. many of our books are of the same C. our authors know what our children need D. the authors didn't pay much attention to the children's tastes |
| 2. What does the underlined word "plagiarized" mean in Chinese? |
|
[ ] |
| A. 改编 B. 杜撰 C. 印刷 D. 剽窃 |
| 3. The reason why Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is so popular is that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. it opens a magic world for children B. it has little sense of teaching C. it is only written in children's language D. it is advertised more on TV or poster |
| 4. What does the writer mean by writing "Where is our own Harry Potter"? |
|
[ ] |
| A. We Chinese produce more books than other countries. B. We are short of books for children and adults. C. Our authors are expected to make the market of children's books take off. D. Authors should write books named "Harry Potter". |

| Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion (坐垫) on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory. (挂件) Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book! "Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University (韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right. Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood. |
| 1. Why did Bloomsbury publish the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Bloomsbury thinks it can attract more readers B. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults C. Bloomsbury thinks the cover with an adult is better D. Bloomsbury knows kidults prefer to chose books for adults in nature |
| 2. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way EXCEPT that ______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids B. it can help kidults feel relaxed C. it is helpful to solve some social problems D. it can make people listen to their parents |
| 3. According to the writer, ______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. being a kidult is nothing wrong B. kidults have mental problems C. our society is very dull D. some people can never grow up |
