| In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots (点) . During the following years , farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often. The circles are called "crop circles" because they appear in the fields of grain-usually wheat or com. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken;it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax.Probably young people were making them as a Joke or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax , people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. They couldn' t do it. They couldn ' t enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn ' t flatten the grain without breaking it. Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate(交流) with us and that the crop circles are messages from them. Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles-the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations; crop circles often appear in groups , like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those. |

| 4. That the crop circles are made by_______is probably true. |

| As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. " The woods " was our part-time address,destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend's house and found him not at home, his mother might say,"Oh.he's out in the woods." with a tone (语气) of airy acceptance. It's similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I'm looking for is on the golf course or at the gym,or even "away from his desk".For us ten-year-olds, " being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while. We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods ,throwing rocks, shooting frogs , picking blackberries , digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound. Often we got "Lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical; the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly-tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in. It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). In March.the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree,and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria. |

| A. spend their free time B. play golf and other sports C. avoid doing their schoolwork D. keep away from their parents |

| A. The activities in the woods were well planned. B. Human history is not the result of exploration. C. Exploration should be a systematic activity. D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly |

| Photographs are everywhere. They decorate(装饰) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos,people can see wild animals , cities in foreign lands , and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories. Reporting the news through photos is called photojoumalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times,they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book,which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change. Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty (贫穷) caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later,the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine's pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children. Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however,can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture. As historical and artistic documents (文献), photos can become more important over time. Today photojoumalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish (发表) them in books and on the Internet. |
| 1. The underlined word "They" in the first paragraph refers to _________. |
| A. beauties B. photos C. goods D. events |
| 2. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos _________. |
| A. are also works of art B. are popular ways of reporting news C. often shock the public D. can serve as a force for social change |
| 3. What can we learn from the passage? |
| A. News with pictures is encouraging. B. Photos help people improve their life. C. News photos mean history in a sense. D. People prefer reading news with pictures. |
| 4. The text is mainly about _________. |
| A. telling the story through pictures B. decorating the walls of homes C. publishing historical papers D. expressing feeling through pictures |

| One moming a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man. it was a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death. Only after a week's leave-during which he read novels,listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach-was Rudenstine able to return to work. In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying, "l am so busy. " We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and , we imaglne , to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax-this has become the model of a successful life. Because we do not rest,we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength , the quiet giving us wisdom. How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week-for followers of some religions-for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks.share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world. Rest is a spiritual and biological need; however,in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities ,we may feel terrbly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, "Remember the Sabbath" is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow. |
| 1. The "alarm" in the first paragraph refers to " ________ ". |
| A. a signal of stress B. a warning of danger C. a sign of age D. a spread of disease |
| 2. According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to _________. |
| A. be able to work without stress B. be more talented than other people C. be more important than anyone else D. be busy workingwithout time to rest |
| 3. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they ________. |
| A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions B. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life C. fail to realize that religions force them to rest D. think that taking a rest means being lazy |
| 4. What is the main idea of this passage? ________ |
| A. We should balance work with rest. B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest. C. It is silly for anyone to say "I am so busy." D. We should be available to our family and friends. |
