| When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls. The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, "I don't know how to use a computer," she admits. Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病): All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says. "I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease." But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of Iife-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up-again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be." |
| 1. Why did Mary feel regretful? |
| A. She didn't achieve her ambition. B. She didn't take care of her mother. C. She didn't complete her high school. D. She didn't follow her mother's advice. |
| 2. We can know that before 1995 Mary _____. |
| A. had two books published B. received many career awards C. knew how to use a computer D. supported the JDRF by writing |
| 3. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her _____. |
| A. living with diabetes B. successful show business C. service for an organization D. remembrance of her mother |
| 4. When Mary received the life-changing news, she _____. |
| A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet C. tried to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way |
| 5. What can we know from the last paragraph? |
| A. Mary feels pity for herself. B. Mary has recovered from her disease. C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible. D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor. |

| Kids will often ignore your requests for them to turn off the TV, start their chores (杂事), or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it, you've started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their rooms, or take out the trash. Rather than saying "Do your chores now." you'll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, "If chores aren't done by 4 pm, here are the consequences." Then it's up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don't argue or fight with them, just say, "That's the way it's going to be." It shouldn't be punitive (惩罚性的) as much as it should be persuasive. "If your chores aren't done by 4 pm, then no video game time until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that's going to be your loss." On the other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off. When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you're trying to talk to him, make no bones about it; he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you. At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Don't try to communicate with him when he's wearing headphones-even if he tells you he can hear you. Wearing them while you're talking to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember, mutual respect becomes more important as children become mature. |
| 1. According to the passage, it seldom happens that _____. |
| A. kids turn a deaf ear to their parents' requests B. parents' directions sound like a broken record C. children are ready to follow their parents' directions D. parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids |
| 2. Parents will be able to deal with their children more effective- ly if they _____. |
| A. avoid direct ways of punishment B. make them do things at their request C. argue and fight with their children D. allow their children to behave in their own way |
| 3. When the kid is doing his homework, parents _____. |
| A. should provide him with a good learning environment B. can do whatever they like C. can stay aside watching TV D. must switch off the power |
| 4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. |
| A. parents should take off their child's headphones when trying to have a talk with their child B. it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents C. parents shouldn't give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect D. kids' purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control |
| 5. The main idea of the passage is _____. |
| A. that respecting each other is more important than anything else B. how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parents C. that children should make choices and decisions on their own D. how parents can deal with their kids' behavior effectively |

| Qiao is a sixth grader at Yuhui Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years. Liu, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Chicheng No. 2 Middle School. He began smoking four years ago. "Smoking is part of my life," Liu said. Qiao and Liu are not those boys' real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers start in their teens (years of a person's age from 13 to 19) or earlier. A study of 8,000 Beijing students last May told us that smoking is a problem for many Chinese kids. More than 21% of middle school students and 6% of primary school pupils said they smoked. "If young people start smoking early, they will probably get addicted to nicotine. And it will be very hard to give up later on," said a professor. Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking, that number will go up to about 10 million a year by 2030, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. So we have to learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking. |
| 1. The sentence "Smoking is part of my life." probably means "_____". |
| A. I don't smoke very often. B. Smoking is very important to me. C. I don't smoke at all. D. I'm going to give up smoking. |
| 2. What will probably happen if a person starts smoking early? |
| A. He will surely die early. B. He cannot stop smoking. C. It will be difficult for him to give up smoking. D. He will become lazy soon. |
| 3. The study in the passage shows that _____. |
| A. smoking is a serious problem among Chinese students B. there are more and more smokers in China C. some student smokers have already been seriously addicted D. most of the smokers are young students |
| 4. The main idea of this passage is that _____. |
| A. smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people B. many people die because of smoking every year C. WHO asks young people to give up smoking D. nicotine makes people addicted |

| The holiday shopping season is once again upon us. The super malls and smaller shopping centers will all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift. The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent shoppers are well aware of this fact. Even if you don't involve yourself with holiday gift buying, you could end up a victim of theft. Thieves do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper. Thieves only know that there are more potential targets of opportunity at this time of year. They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round. They'll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store to store with so much to do and so little time to do it. Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December. College students are not an exception to the rule! As a member of our university community, you're also easily influenced by the dangers of mall shopping this time of year. Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls. Close your eyes and think about the overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around. The sights, sounds and distractions all can lull you into a state of personal safety complacency. Aside from the shoplifters who steal merchandise from store shelves are the thieves who perpetrate (犯) snatch and grab crimes. And this is the sort of crime that you're most vulnerable to, especially when you find yourself carrying a large number of shopping bags and packages. However, as is the case with most other types of criminal behavior, there are a number of crime prevention measures you can take to lessen or stop your chances of becoming a victim. So take the time to read and then put into practice the following holiday shopping tips. |
| 1. The author is most probably _____. |
| A. a newspaper reporter B. a novelist C. a member of university community D. a police spokesman |
| 2. What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 3 refer to? |
| A. Shoppers. B. Thieves. C. Personal safety issues. D. College students. |
| 3. Why is a person more likely to become a victim of theft during holiday shopping? |
| A. Because he often has much to buy. B. Because he often does shopping in a hurry. C. Because there are crowds of shoppers. D. All of the above. |
| 4. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage? |
| A. To tell readers different kinds of crimes. B. To make readers aware of holiday shopping dangers. C. To give advice on selecting the perfect gift. D. To introduce American public security situation. |
| 5. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? |
| A. Holiday Shopping Safety B. Suitable Shopping Places C. Personal Safety During Holidays D. How to Identify a Thief |
