        Mr. Ma, a famous mental doctor (心理医生) from Beijing once said at an important meeting, "Now
    many young students can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they
    have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents
    and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem."
        Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. A middle school student from Xi'an was doing badly in his lessons.
    He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one
    night he left his home without telling his parents. Another student, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai,
    was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn't think of anything to write.
        A recent report from a newspaper says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental
    problems. They often feel worried and very unhappy. Unluckily many of them won't go and ask for help.
    Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others won't talk about their secrets.
        At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma gave some good ideas to young people: 
        ◆ Talk to your parents or teacher often. 
        ◆ Join in group activities. 
        ◆ Try to get on well with the people around you. 
        ◆ Go to see a doctor if you often feel unhappy.

    2. The schoolgirl's problem happened whenever she ______.

    [     ]

    [     ]

    A. It's important for children to live with their parents.

         "I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the Internet." 
         "I often check my e-mail forty times a day." 
         "I often spend more than three hours during one time on the Internet."
         "I spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-1ife' friends."
         Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction (瘾) called Internet addiction.
    Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. Internet addicts lose control of the
    time they spend on the Internet. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug (毒品) use.
         For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they
    called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab:he was surfing the Internet for several
    days straight.
         Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the
    teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time on the
    Internet than in the real world of friends and family. Is "surfing the Internet" a hobby or an addiction for
    you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms (症状):
         ●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend
    hours on the Internet.
         ●You can't wait for your next online time.
         ●You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
         ●You go out with your friends less and less.
    1. What does the beginning of the passage tell us?
    A. How to become an Internet addict.
    B. What an Internet addict usually does.
    C. Where to find an Internet addict.
    D. Why to write this passage.
    2. How does the writer describe the addicts of Internet?
    A. It is something like making friends.
    B. It is a way of producing drugs.
    C. It is like taking drugs.

        Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine.
    There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each
    afternoon, sewing or reading.   
        After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear
    through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It
    really looks terrible."   
        One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.   
        Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.
    What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!   
        Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers
    through my own dirty window.   
        That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty
    window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?   
        Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through
    my own dirty window?"   
        Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

    A. the woman was sitting by her window   
    B. the woman's window was clean   
    C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon   
    D. the woman's window was still terrible
    3. "It dawned on me" probably means "____".

    [     ]

    A. I began to understand it   
    B. it cheered me up   
    C. I knew it grew light   
    D. it began to get dark
    4. It's clear that _____.

    A. the writer had never met the woman before   
    B. the writer often washed the window   
    C. they both worked as cleaners   
    D. they lived in a small town
    5. From the passage, we can learn ______.

    [     ]

    A. one shouldn't criticize others very often

         The following story took place long ago in Israel. One day when government officials were rebuilding
    a barn (谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole come out.
    A while later they saw mice running out, one after another.
         Then, everyone thought that all the mice had run away. But when they started to clean up, they saw two
    mice squeezing (挤) out at the exit of the hole. After a while,the mice finally got out. The strange thing was
    that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other
    near the exit of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
         Everyone was puzzled, so they went closer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind
    and could not see anything, and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he
    could pull the blind one with him to run away.
         After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During meal time, the group
    of people sat down and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
         One serious official said:"I think the relationship (关系) between those two mice was that of emperor
    (皇帝) and minister (大臣)." The others thought for a while and said:"That was why!"
         A smart Israel said:"I think the relationship between those two mice was husband and wife." Again the
    others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense; so they agreed with him.
         A Chinese said:"I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son." Once again
    the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they agreed with him another time.
         At that moment, one Samaritan looked at other people, and asked:"Why did those two mice have to have
    a certain relationship?" Suddenly, the group looked back at the Samaritan and remained speechless. The Rome
    official, the Israeli and the Chinese who had spoken earlier all did not dare to answer. In fact, the true love is
    not based on benefit (利益), friendship or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
    1. What was in the hole?

    2. Did those last two mice run away at once after they came out of the hole?
