"We’ll send 16 round as soon as possible,"they said. Derek telephoned his wife. "I’m not sure when I’ll be home, love,"he told her. "I’ve got to 17 for the police."

| There’s a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella. At first I couldn’t stand it; now I’m used to it. I don’t know his name. I know he’s average in appearance, wears a gray suit, and has a common face. One hot morning, when I was sitting on a tree-shaded bench in Palermo Park, reading the paper, suddenly I felt something touch my head. It was the very same man who now, as I’m writing, keeps striking me with an umbrella. On that occasion I turned around filled with anger. He just kept on hitting me. I asked him if he was crazy. He didn’t even seem to hear me. Then I threatened to call a policeman. Calmly, cool as a cucumber, he stuck with his task. After a few moments of hesitation, and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude, I stood up and hit him on the nose. The man fell down. But he immediately got back on his feet, obviously with great effort, and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella. His nose was bleeding and, at that moment, I felt sorry for him. I felt regret for having hit him so hard. After all, the man wasn’t exactly hitting me; he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella, not causing any pain at all. Of course, those taps were extremely bothersome. As we all know, when a fly lands on your forehead, you don’t feel any pain; what you feel is annoyance. Well then, that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time. Convinced that I was dealing with a madman, I tried to escape. But the man followed me, wordlessly continuing to hit me. So I began to run（I should point out that not many people run as fast as I do）. He took off after me, trying to land a blow. The man was out of breath so that I thought, if I continued to force him to run at that speed, he would drop dead right then and there. |
| 1. When the man began to strike the author with an umbrella, the author _________. |
| A. became angry B. called the police C. turned around and escaped D. turned around and fought back |
| 2. The author would most probably agree that the man was_______. |
| A. deaf B. blind C. dead D. mad |
| 3. The author felt sorry for the man because _______. |
| A. the man formed a bad habit of beating others B. he hit the man so hard that his nose bled C. the man couldn’t catch up with him D. there was a fly on the man’s head |
| 4. It can be learned from the passage that the man _______. |
| A. shouted loudly while hitting the author B. wanted to tell the author something C. ran after the author breathlessly D. acted as if he were a fly |

| A Beautiful Mind A mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive, but then Ron Howard isn’t among most directors. Despite an impressive list of credits, A Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date, combining a psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining. The Oscar winning Russell Crowe has put himself in line for further honours with his acting John Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia（精神分裂症）. A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero, not just because of his academic achievements but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness. In 1947 Nash was one of many great young minds at Princeton. "To find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself,"the proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socialising. His shyness and straightforward approach brought him few friends. After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea, Nash’s career took off and his reputation was secured. He balanced research work with teaching, which is where he met the bright and beautiful student Alicia（Jennifer Connelly）. Things in his life were going well when his talent for code breaking brought him to the attention of the military who employed him during the early stages of the cold war with Russia. However, the stress of his work made Nash’s illness develop. Crowe’s performance is perfect. He and Connelly ignite（make something exciting）the film’s passionate love story and Connelly’s wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Alicia, whose courage, strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery. |
| 1. This passage is most probably ________. |
| A. a book review B. a movie review C. a movie poster D. an advertisement |
| 2. Which can replace the underlined phrase hit on in the fourth paragraph? |
| A. come up with B. come on C. put on D. put up with |
| 3. The following statements are true EXCEPT that ________. |
| A. John Nash did not go mad totally B. Ron Howard is an outstanding director C. the stress of the academic work caused Nash’s illness D. Nash’s concentration on his work and his shyness brought him few friends |
| 4. We can infer from the text that ________. |
| A. without Alicia, John Nash would not have recovered from schizophrenia B. John Nash gave up his career when troubled by schizophrenia C. Russell Crowe won another Oscar Award after this movie D. John Nash volunteered to serve in the army |

| "What If" questions can help you think about what to do in case anything should happen. There are no right answers because every case is different. Use the questions with your parents or with friends and decide what you think might work? Think of your own solutions and make up new "What If" questions to answer. 1）You are walking to school and a gang of older bullies（person who uses his strength or power to frighten or hurt weaker people）demands your money. Do you: a. Shout and run away? b. Give them the money? Give them the money（or other possessions）— your safety is more important than money. 2）You are in the school toilet and an older student comes in, beats you and then tells you not to do anything or 'you' ll get worse' . You know who the person is and you have never done anything to him/her. Do you: a. Wait until the person leaves and then tell a teacher? b. Get it a fight with him/her? c. Accept what happened and don’t tell? Tell the teacher — you didn’t deserve to be beaten and the bully was wrong to do it. If you don’t tell, the bully will just keep on beating up other kids. 3）A gang of bullies gets you alone and starts beating you. Do you: a. Do nothing — just take it? b. Fight back? c. Shout to attract attention? d. Watch for your chance and run away? You must decide, but c.&d. together could work very well. It would be quite difficult to fight a whole gang of bullies and you might be hurt badly if you did. 4）Someone in your class always makes rude comments about you and says them loud enough for you（and others）to hear. It really upsets you. Do you: a. Ignore the comments? b. Face the bully and tell him/her off? c. Tell the teacher? d. Hit the bully on the nose? You may feel like beating the bully, but you’ll probably be the one to get into trouble if you do. Try a. first — ignoring comments is difficult, but can work if the bully gets tired of trying to get you to be angry or cry or show some reaction. Your teacher should be told about the comments because no one should make hurtful comments to others. If you are feeling brave, tell the bully off. Try practising in the mirror to get the right effect! |
| 1. What is the passage mainly about? |
| A. The bully’s behaviors. B. The questions the students meet. C. The solutions to the students’ questions. D. The advice on how to fight against the bully. |
| 2. Using Situation 4, the author aims to tell the students that ________. |
| A. they should fight back immediately B. keeping calm is the first thing they should do C. only being brave can help them solve the problem D. they should practise boxing to defend themselves |
| 3. We can conclude from the passage that ________. |
| A. all the older students like to bully the younger students B. if the students fight with the bullies, they will get hurt C. the teachers can help to solve the bullying problems D. the students’ safety is more important than money |
| 4. Which of the following statements is NOT true? |
| A. When the bullies ask for money, giving up the possessions is the right choice. B. When beaten by the bullies, the students should find a chance to run away. C. The bullies make rude comments to get the bullied students into anger. D. The students are most likely to be bullied in the school toilet. |

  Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health. This new theory argues that healing（the process of becoming healthy and strong again）is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis. Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki, Yoga, Tai Chi. These waste our time, something that is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain and x-rays that show us our broken bones. We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some "everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become dependent on them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and but never get better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Reiki to yourself, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Also, there are no side effects and it is scientifically explained. They also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair and weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. Some people may still hold that in our material world, everything depends on time. How would it be possible to find time to do Reiki? In fact, Reiki does not require more than 15 minutes of our time. It is less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well. |
| 1. The author’s attitude towards Reiki is _______. |
| A. disinterested B. serious C. positive D. doubtful |
| 2. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe? |
| A. Reiki will soon become the most popular exercise around the world. B. Reiki is an effective treatment but not scientifically explained. C. Reiki can make people less dependent on drugs. D. Reiki is a kind of cheap drug but works well. |
| 3. How many advantages of Reiki are mentioned in the last two paragraphs? |
| A. One. B. Three. C. Five. D. Seven. |
| 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. A New Way of Treating Illness B. Health and Healing at Your Fingers C. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Reiki D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Medicine |

| The concept of Emotional Intelligence（EQ or EI）was first given by Peter Salovey and John Mayer, but it became widely popular after the publication of Daniel Goleman’s best seller " Emotional Intelligence” in 1995. The meaning of emotional intelligence is " Knowing how you and others feel and what to do about it." The control center of our emotions is a small part of our brain called the amygdala（类扁桃体）, which scans incoming signals from our sensory organs（eyes, ears…）and acts as the emotional alarm center of our body. When it detects a condition that we hate, that we fear, or that could hurt us, it sends an immediate signal to the other parts of our brain that controls our actions. The amygdala’s widespread web of neural（神经系统的）connections allows it, during an emotional emergency, to take control of much of the rest of the brain including the mind. This explains why we sometimes do things “without thinking” like closing our eyes just before a flying insect hits our face or losing control during the course of a heated argument. Emotions are important for good decision-making and to keep friendly relationships with others around us. We admire people with determination who have the ability to control their emotions when they face pressure, arguments or aggression（attack）. We also enjoy being with people who can express co-operation and forgiveness. We need these emotions to be happy in our professional life as much as we need them in our private life. The majority of problems at work are caused by unmet emotional needs. The emotional-intelligent manager knows how to make out and manage the emotional needs of both the customers and his team. He or she, wants to help others feel respected, supported, helped, trusted, important, special, useful, needed and valued. When our emotional needs are satisfied, we feel better, and when we feel better, we are more productive, patient, creative, open-minded, and caring. Emotional intelligence requires that we develop our abilities in four main areas: 1）self-awareness being aware of our emotions as they happen; 2）managing emotions keeping a healthy balance of emotion and thinking; 3）recognizing emotions in others it’s a great communicating skill; 4）handling relationships managing emotions in others increases our popularity, our leadership ability and our communication effectiveness. |
| 1. When did EQ become popular? |
|
A. After Peter Salovey and John Mayer defined the term. |
| 2. Which of the following controls our emotion? |
|
A. Amygdala in our brains. |
| 3. What is the reason for most of the problems we meet at work? |
| A. Our emotional needs cannot be satisfied. B. We cannot get along well with others. C. We do not have the nerves of steel. D. We are extremely tired. |
| 4. According to the passage, "managing emotions" suggests that ______. |
| A. we should always control our emotions B. we should not always control our emotions C. we should not care so much about our emotions D. we should neither control nor free our emotions too much |

| What would you say if a drug dealer put a container of free heroin in your living room? Ninety-eight percent of the homes in the United States have containers full of a drug-television. The average American home has a TV on for more than 6 hours every day. Kids who are growing up these days watch an average of 20,000 hours of TV - the electronic babysitter, by the time they’re 15. Researchers say that a TV-viewer’s brain waves enter a pre-sleep period within 30 seconds of turning on the set and that this pattern can be addicting. Other experts point out that TV is the easiest way to escape concerned with our great addictions to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and food. There is, however, no treatment available for television addiction. Stories of TV addiction are incredible. One man said, "Last December, I concluded that TV was controlling our lives. It kept my wife and me from talking with each other. I knew I had to do something. Our efforts to control the habit had failed. Finally, I decided to kill the TV. I picked it up and threw it as far as I could into the yard. Since then, our lives have been much better. We read, talk, and even have friends. My advice to TV addicts is: Kill the TV!" |
