| Once President Roosevelt's house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. 1 this, one of Roosevelt's friends wrote to him and 2 him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt 3 immediately, saying, "Dear friend, thank you for your letter to 4 me. I am all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three 5 : Firstly, the thief only stole things from me 6 did not hurt me at all; 7 , the thief has stolen some of my things 8 all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man 9 me who became a thief." It is certainly 10 for anyone to be stolen from. However, President Roosevelt had three reasons to be 11. This story tells us we should learn to be grateful in our life. There is a 12 from Mahatma Gandhi-Live as you were to die tomorrow; learn as you were to live forever. Great people are always 13 their love to the world, just as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and so on. How about us? You can not do 14 , but still you can do something. So, be grateful to your life, all the people and the things in your life. Be grateful to nature, for the fresh air you 15 , the clean water you drink, and the beautiful flowers you smell. Be grateful to your parents, for they 16 to you and taught you right from wrong. Be grateful to your 17 , for they taught you with great patience. Be grateful to your friends, for you have known 18 since you were 9 or 10 and faced the 19 together for so many years. 20 I want to say: being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life. Why don't we have a try? Let's get it started! | ||||

| Animal experts in Croatia say a bear has learned how to trick people to let him in by knocking at the door. They believe the 220- kilogram brown bear probably learned the trick while nudging (轻推) a door to get it to open. Experts have a guess that the nudging was mistaken by the owners for knocking and that the bear, pleased by the result, repeated the trick. The Loknar family from Gerovo in western Croatia said the bear had knocked at their door three times and they were now refusing to answer the door. ''We jumped out of the window as he came in through the door and went into the kitchen to take some food for the first time." Mum Nevenka Loknar told a reporter from a local newspaper. "I opened the door and saw him standing there and I didn't believe my eyes at first, then I ran for it as he walked in as if it was the most normal- thing in the world." Bears are a common thing in the woods around here, but no one has ever heard of a bear that knocks at the door. Mum Nevenka Loknar said, "The bear is so intelligent. It's incredible. We've tried to put up lots of obstacles to stop him coming in, like a wire fence but he still gets through. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew how to use wire cutters (钢丝剪)." |
| 1. According to experts in Croatia, how did the bear learn the trick? |
| A. By knocking at the door several times. B. By accident. C. By learning from the owner of a family. D. By imitation. |
| 2. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 5 refer to? |
| A. Eating at the kitchen. B. Knocking at the door. C. Walking into the house. D. Answering the door. |
| 3. It is ________ in Gerovo that a bear knocks at the door. |
| A. unusual B. a troubling problem C. common D. an exciting experience |
| 4. Mum Nevenka Loknar was surprised that the bear _____. |
| A. didn't attack her family B. knew how to use wire cutters C. jumped across her wire fence three times D. was clever at getting through the obstacles |

| The tea gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates. The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got. Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing (加工) tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days. Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out on shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment (发酵)under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea. The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world. |
| 1. In the first paragraph, the word "pruning" means . |
| A. regular cutting of the plants B. frequent watering C. regular use of chemicals D. growing the plants high in the mountain |
| 2. One of the reasons why women are employed to do the picking is that . |
| A. they work harder than men do in the picking B. they can throw their pickings more easily into the baskets C. their fingers fit them better for the job D. they can more easily find the twin leaves |
| 3. How many processing steps for black tea are mentioned in the last paragraph? |
| A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. |
| 4. What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage? |
| A. To introduce various methods of tea processing. B. To persuade readers to buy tea from Sri Lanka. C. To tell a story that had happened in the tea gardens. D. To inform readers of tea growing, picking and processing. |

| As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents' efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. "In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children's IQ scores," Lewis says. "And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is." The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. "Middle children are invisible," says Lewis. "When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are that it's the middle child." There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: "When the TV is on," Lewis says, "dinner is a non-event." |
| 1. The writer's purpose in writing the text is to . |
| A. show the relationship between parents and children B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table C. report on the findings of a study D. give information about family problems |
| 2. By saying "Middle children are invisible" in Para. 3, Lewis means that middle children . |
| A. have to help their parents to serve dinner B. get the least attention from the family C. are often kept away from the dinner table D. find it hard to keep up with other children |
| 3. Lewis' research provides an answer to the question . |
| A. why TV is important in family life B. why parents should keep good order C. why children in small families seem to be quieter D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life |
| 4. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to? |
| A. It is important to have the right food for children. B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner. C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently. D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner. |

| Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure-those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee-jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers. It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee-jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee-jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago people's lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival. Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environments；they buy food in shops；and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee-jumping. |
| 1. A suitable title for the text is " ". |
| A. Dangerous Sports:What and Why? B. The Boredom of Modern Life C. Bungee-jumping:Is It Really Dangerous? D. The Need for Excitement |
| 2. More and more people today are . |
| A. trying activities such as bungee-jumping B. climbing the highest mountains C. coming close to death in sports D. looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places |
| 3. People take part in dangerous sports nowadays probably because . |
| A. they have a lot of free time B. they can go to hospital when they are injured C. their lives are short of excitement D. they no longer need to hunt for food |
| 4. What does the word "thrill" in the first paragraph mean? |
| A. a strong feeling of excitement B. a feeling of unhappiness C. a feeling of feeling upset D. a feeling of being frightened |
