         Few people ever took notice of Mr. Jimmy Tan whenever he entered a room. He was a shy, quiet
    and simple man who preferred to keep to himself in public. On the other hand, Mr. Thomas Kim, a
    fellow scientist, was a man everyone would notice on the streets. He wore bright outfits with huge flower
    prints, spoke with a booming voice, and his laughter could be heard from all corners of a room. In
    addition to the differences in their characters, Mr. Kim and Mr. Tan were also great rivals at work in the
    Institute of Future Science.
         On Christmas Eve, everyone left work early to celebrate the special occasion, except for Mr. Tan
    and Mr. Kim. They were in their laboratory analyzing the results of their latest experiments. Mr. Tan
    realized that something special was taking place in his experiment -the bacteria he had cultured were
    growing extremely quickly under high pressure and at a very low temperature. After noting down the
    findings in his notebook, he left the room to prepare for another round of tests. Shortly after, Mr. Kim
    entered.
         "Hey Jimmy," Mr. Kim called out, "do you have an extra copy of the laboratory booking form?"
         There was no reply, so Mr. Kim looked through Mr. Tan's things. He soon found Mr. Tan's
    notebook and was horrified to see that Mr. Tan had managed to make one of the most important
    discoveries in modern science. He then looked into the deep-freeze cupboard where a dish containing
    the bacteria was kept. He put them into his pocket and returned to his own laboratory.
         Mr. Tan came back an hour later to find his notebook and the dish missing. He knew that Mr. Kim
    had taken them and went to Mr. Kim's laboratory to find out. When he opened the door, he found Mr.
    Kim lying on the floor motionless. His face was pale and his skin had turned black. The deadly bacteria
    had been handled improperly. He shook his head and left.

    1. From the first paragraph we know Mr. Kim was a quite ___    person.

    A. famous
    B. hardworking
    C. wealthy
    D. outgoing

    B. the notebook and the dish
    C. the cupboard and the bacteria
    D. the dish and the bacteria

    4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

    A. Mr. Kim was afraid Mr. Tan might succeed ahead of him.
    B. Mr. Tan's bacteria grew very fast in a warm container.
    C. Mr. Tan worked much harder than Mr. Kim.
    D. Mr. Kim was so tired that he fell down into sleep.

    5. What happened to Mr. Kim in the end?

    A. He died on Christmas Eve.
    B. He was arrested by the police.

         In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small
    notepad (记事本)and a hole for a pencil.
         I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.
    Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current
    paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil? The pad is more
    modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
         "I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years." I
    say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil.
    Can't you afford a pen?"
          My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well. I've always kept the stand in the kitchen.
    I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days."
         Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one
    hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was
    cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the
    children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the
    back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."
         This story-which happened before I was born-reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is,
    as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to
    wor k. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.
    Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.
    Those symbols have travelled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden
    breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.

    1. Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

    A. To leave messages.
    B. To list her everyday tasks.
    C. To note down maths problems.
    D. To write down a flash of inspiration.

    2. What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?

    A. It has great value for the family.
    B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.
    C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.
    D. It should be passed on to the next generation.

    3. The author feels embarrassed for             .

    A. blaming her mother wrongly
    B. giving her mother a lot of trouble
    C. not making good use of time as her mother did
    D. not making any breakthrough in her field

    4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    A. The mother is successful in her career.
    B. The family members like travelling.
    C. The author had little time to play when young.
    D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.

    5. In the author's mind, her mother is             .

    A. strange in behaviour
    B. keen on her research
    C. fond of collecting old things
    D. careless about her appearance(B)

         A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥
    100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, "Who would like this ¥100 bill?" The students
    began to put up their hands at once.
         Then he said, "I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this." He then made the
    bill into a ball. Then he said, "Who wants it now?" The hands went back into the air.
         " Well," he said, "What if I do this?" and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up
    the dirty, crumpled bill and said, "Who still wants it?" Hands went back into the air.
         "My friends," he said, "you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money,
    you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ¥ l00!"
         Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the
    things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value

    B. Smiling changes mood.  
    C. Smiling helps stay positive.
    D. Smiling defeats diseases.
    E. Smiling attracts people.
    F. Smiling relieves stress.  

    1. _____ 
         Like a flower with a pleasant scent, your smile can draw people close enough to see inside you.
    That's Smile Power. A smile has the power to radiate the qualities that make you beautiful on the
    inside - kindness, friendship, honesty, respect, patience, and self-control. So please give smiles away
    like flowers. Let your smile be an invitation for others to get to know the great person behind the smile.
    Then let people see that your smile doesn't stop at your mouth. It goes all the way to your heart. On the
    other hand, we are drawn to people who smile and we want to know a smiling person and figure out
    what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away-but a smile draws them in.
    2. _____ 
         Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change
    for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you to have good feelings. So smile is a good state
    of mind, you have a smile, then you will have better feelings. So when you are smiling you lighten up the
    room, change the moods of others, and make things happier.
    3._____
        The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just
    try smiling your way through the day - you'll look younger. Then you will feel better and have more
    confidence, thus are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at
    meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently because of your confidence.
    4.  ____
        Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and
    overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. This is because when you smile, there
    is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. You can sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then
    smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. You will be happy to see your stress
    disappears quickly.
    5. _____ 
         Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body
    is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by
    smiling. So smile is a positive state of mind, every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift
    to that person, a beautiful thing and then other people will also answer your smile.

          Never shall I forget the first English lesson giving by Miss Liu. One Monday morning, when she
    entered the classroom, we found out that she was a young and beautiful lady. Then she introduced
    her and said they shouldn’t call her Teacher Liu but Miss Liu. Later, she asked us to go to the
    blackboard and said something about ourselves with English in turn. When it was my turn, I felt too
    shy that I didn’t dare to say anything before the class. She went up to me and said kind, “Don’t
    be afraid. I believe you can do well.” At last, I went to the blackboard.
        She praised me for that I had done.
