| I learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family created one. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive. Shortly after the chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs. With my mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants. One day a tragedy struck the ant farm. The pages of the diary, still wrinkled where tear drops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy.' I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, caving in all the tunnels. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of "frustration." They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed. Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more. Over the years, I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each labored at their task. The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key ingredients to success. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (不幸、灾祸) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment. Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another. Giving up, I say, is not a choice. |
| 1. The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _____. |
| A. for the ants to live in B. to get sun light in C. to keep the sand clean D. for the boy to observe |

| A. The tears. B. The earthquake C. The ants. D. The tragedy. |
| 3. What did the writer finally realize? |
| A. Perseverance is the only way to success. B. Humans cannot give up when facing adversity. C. People should admire anyone for their hard work. D. His mother taught him much more. |
| 4. When did the writer draw a more important lesson from his experience? |
| A. Before he was seven years old. B. When he was seven years old. C. Immediately after the tragedy. D. Many years after the tragedy |

| Jean-Francois Millet (October 4,1814-January 20, 1875) was a French painter and one of the founder of the Barbizon School in rural France. Born of a peasant family, Millet was encouraged by his father to study art in Cherbourg, France. He can be categorized as part of the movement called "naturalism"(自然主义). His understanding of the peasant' hard life was perfectly expressed in his choice of subject and natural preference for powerful but simple drawing and coloring. One of the most well-known of Millet's paintings, The Gleaners(《拾穗者》),first came in a vertical composition (垂直式构图) painted in 1854,and then there came the horizontal version in 1856, which is now preserved in the Musee d'Orsay. It depicts women bending over in the fields to collect the leftover's from the harvest, and it is a monumental composition devoted to the working class. Previously, servants were depicted in paintings as obedient to a noble or a king, and picking up what was left of the harvest was regarded as one of the lowest jobs in Millet;s times. However, Millet offered these women as the heroic focus of the picture. Besides, in the painting, light lights up the women's shoulders as they carry out their work. Behind them, the field that stretches into the distance is bathed in golden light, under a wide , magnificent sky. The forms of the three figures, standing against the lighter field, show balance and harmony. |
| 1. According to the passage , we can know that Millet ______. |
| A. was born in rural France B. belongs to neither naturalism nor realism C. became famous for his love of the countryside D. received his high school education in Barbizon |
| 2. As for the painting The Gleaners, ________. |
| A. it is originally a horizontal composition B. it is based on the effort of Musee d'Orsay C. it presents women in the field as the chief focus D. it shows how women are stopped from working in the field |
| 3. In the painting, the viewer can appreciate Millet's_______. |
| A. crazy interest in blue color B. strong focus on the city life C. absolute respect for the king D. particular choice of main characters |
| 4. In which of the following books can we probably find this passage? |
| A. Kings and Nobles in France B. A Guide to French Painting C. French Agricultural History D. The Founder of Musee d'Orsay |

| British paychologists have found evidence of a link between excessive (过度的) Internet use and depression, a research has shown. Leeds University researchers, writing in the Psychopathology journal, said a small part of Internet users were classed as Internet addicts and that people in this group were more likely to be depressed than non-addicted users. The article on the relationship between excessive Internet use and depression is from a questionnaire-based study of 1,319 young people and adults. The respondents answered questions about how much time they spent on the Internet and what they used it for; they also complete the Beck Depression Inventory---a series of questions designed to measure the seriousness of depression. The six-page report,by the university's Institute of Psychological Science, said 18 of the people who complete the questionnaire were Internet addict."Our research indicates that excessive Internet use is associated with depression, but what we don't know is which comes first-are depressed people drawn to the Internet or does the Internet cause depression?" the article's lead author Dr Catriona Morrison said."What is clear is that, for a small part of people, excessive use of the Internet could be warning signal for depressive tendencies." The age range of all respondents was between 16 and 51 years, with an average age of 21.24. The average age of the 18 Internet addicts was 18.3 years. By comparing the levels of depression within this group to that within a group of 18 non-addicted Internet users, researchers found the Internet addicts had a higher chance of developing depression than non-addicts. They also discovered that addicts spent more time visiting sexually pleasing website, online gaming sites and online communities. "The public speculation (推测) was further proved by this study. That's to say, over-engaging in websites which serve to replace normal social function might be linked to psychological disorders like depression and addiction," Morrison said."We now need to consider the wider social influence of this relationship and clearly prove the effects of excessive Internet use on mental health." |
| 1. Internet addicts are people who ______ according to the passage. |
| A. use the Internet more than enough B. feel depressed when using the Internet C. seldom connect to the Internet D. feel depressed without the Internet |
| 2. What is confirmed by the study according to the passage? |
| A. Depression leads to excessive use of Internet B. Depression results from excessive use of Internet C. Excessive use of internet usually accompanies depression D. Excessive use of internet is usually earlier to depression |
| 3. It is thought by the public that online communities______. |
| A. can never replace normal social function B. are intended to replace normal social function C. are associated with psychological disorders D. shouldn't take the blame for psychological disorders |
| 4. According to Dr Catriona Morrison, the public speculation________. |
| A. lacks scientific evidence B. helps clarify their study C. finds a theoretical basis D. has little scientific value |

| 1 . Being angry doesn't really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you.

Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano! 2 .Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 3 Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something , or even worse , hit their brothers or sisters. 4 . However, it's not OK for a kid to do any of those things .Kids don't want to act in this way , but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do? Well, the good news is that kids don't just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. 5 . Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training.

| Once a man got on a bus for New York. He hid in toilet, because he did not want to pay. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, "There's a bum (流 浪汉) in the toilet. Tell the bus driver." The message was past from person to person. But anywhere along the way, it changed. The bus driver was told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came in, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. This soon caused a 15-miles-long traffic jam. Under the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no bomb! ____________________________________________________________________________ |
