| A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake(分享,参与) of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo(礼服). Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true. A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together." The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. "I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list." The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it. "Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said happily. Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept. In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous(奇妙的) things before us? |

| Putting in water fountains (饮水器) at schools, and teaching children about the health benefits of water, could reduce their risk of getting extra pounds, reports a new study that is published in the latest issue of the journal Pediatrics. The findings are based on a survey in 32 elementary schools of two German cities, Dortmund and Essen. The researchers, led by Rebecca Muckelbauer, a nutritionist(营养学家) at the Research Institute of Child Nutrition Dortmund, weighed about 3,000 children, and asked them about their beverage consumption(饮料消费量). At the beginning of the school year, the experts had water fountains added to 17 of the schools. The scientists also worked with teachers to carry out educational programs that promote the benefits of drinking water. In contrast to schools in the United States, there are very few schools in Germany that have water fountains. At the beginning of the study, there were no big differences in the number of overweight children in the different groups. But by the end of the school year, children in the schools with water fountains were 31 per cent less likely to gain extra pounds, compared to kids who went to other schools, where water drinking was not encouraged. Children in the schools with fountains increased their water consumption from about 3 up to 4 glasses a day, while those in the other schools continued to drink an average of 3 glasses. Over the research, the number of overweight kids upped from 384 to 385 out of 1,641 at the schools with water fountains. In comparison, the number of overweight kids at the other schools increased from 339 to 364 out of 1,309, Dr. Muckelbauer said. The experts cannot make any final conclusions and explain why the students who were encouraged to drink water were less likely to gain extra weight. Dr. Muckelbauer noted that according to a few other studies, drinking of water increases the rate at which calories are burned, while some other research suggested that water may temporarily decrease appetite (食欲). |
| 1. According to the passage, the journal Pediatrics _____. |
| A. may cover the subject of the health of children B. mainly deals with the water drinking problem C. is mainly about the mental health of kids D. must be a journal entitled by a school |
| 2. What do we know about the survey from the passage? |
| A. The teachers were also encouraged to drink water. B. The students surveyed were all overweight. C. It surveyed children in the countryside. D. It lasted for a whole school year. |
| 3. What can be learned from the last paragraph? |
| A. Drinking water certainly decreases appetite. B. Further research is needed to support the finding. C. The experts will encourage all the students to drink water. D. Why students drinking more get less pounds will be clear soon. |
| 4. What would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. Schools with water fountains B. Drink more water and become thinner C. Water fountains at schools help kids stay thin D. Water consumption at some German schools |

| The Yungang Grottoes (云冈石窟) lie on the north cliff of Wuzhou Mountain, Datong. They occupy 1 km from east to west, and hold 53 caves and over 51,000 stone statues. As excellent examples of rock-cut architecture(建筑学), in 2001, the Yungang Grottoes became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. According to UNESCO, they are a masterpiece of early Chinese Buddhist(佛教的) cave art. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Pingcheng, now called Datong, was made capital city, and Buddhism was treated as state religion. Through the ancient North Silk Road, Buddhism arrived in Pingcheng (Datong). The Yungang Grottoes absorbed Indian Buddhist art, and combined with traditional Chinese art. They were China's first major stone carved grottoes, and have a history of over 1,500 years. During the rule of Emperor Xiao Wen in Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), a monk named Tanyao was responsible for the construction of the Yungang Grottoes. The most important work on the grottoes was completed during 460 to the early 490s. The move of the Northern Wei capital from Pingcheng (Datong) to Luoyang in 494 ended the construction and carving. Some repairs continued during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and important restorations (修复) were carried out in the 11th and 12th centuries. The Yungang Grottoes include a variety of vivid religious figures. Moreover, there are a lot of different shaped wooden constructions, statues of the Buddhist story, and carvings of ancient musical instruments. |
| 1. The passage is mainly about _____. |
| A. the brief introduction to the Yungang Grottoes B. the situation of the Yungang Grottoes C. the way to protect the Yungang Grottoes D. the importance of the Yungang Grottoes |
| 2. The Yungang Grottoes became a UNESCO World Heritage Site mainly because______. |
| A. they are a masterpiece of modern Chinese Buddhist cave art B. they are excellent examples of rock-cut architecture C. they lie on the north cliff of Wuzhou Mountain, Datong D. they are China's only major stone carved grottoes |
| 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true? |
| A. Pingcheng and Datong are the same place in different names in different dynasties. B. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Pingcheng was made as capital city. C. Buddhism was treated as state religion from Tang Dynasty. D. Buddhism arrived in Pingcheng through the ancient North Silk Road. |

| 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what we've done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity (机会) to find a way out in our lives, for it goes off quickly. We should say something urgent (紧迫的) slowly, something serious clearly, something small humorously and something unsure carefully. We should never say something that did not happen, something that we cannot do, something that does harm to others. Do not easily say something about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do. Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness. To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand the core (核心) of happiness and achieve what we desire. We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in everyday life. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything legally, we can live a peaceful life. But if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart man knows to learn a lesson from his falls for he knows that every fall is a valuable experience leading to happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing (批评)others. Instead, he tends to spend more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience (道德) and not to spread others' mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards. Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life. Without happiness, one will feel terribly sorry, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all the time and that others often do wrong to him. He attributes (把……归于) every mistake to others or the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness. A well-known person once said, "Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because of his ignorance (无知)." Therefore, if someone makes mistake, we need to care about him, forgive him and enlighten (启发) him by setting a good example to him instead of losing temper (怒气) to him. Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from happiness. In order to lead a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture and history. We should love our country, keep the law and realize our own responsibility (责任), and then we are sure to have a happy life.
