| My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body was. Through the years I would take a 1 at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought 2 was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are 3 . Keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon." Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first 4 , I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are 5 fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." 6 the years, Mother asked me a couple more 7 and always her answer was, "No, but you are getting 8 every year, my child." Last year, my Grandpa 9 . Everybody was heart-broken. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our 10 to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?" I was 11 when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a 12 between her and me. She saw the 13 on my face and told me, "The question is very important. It shows that you have really 14 your life." I saw her eyes wet up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your 15 ." I asked, "Is it because they hold up your head?" She replied, "No, it is 16 on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their heads.

| When I was younger, I wished for a Porsche and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes possible and took the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford that car and the dream house. All the way through junior year, my mind was planning this beautiful future. Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at the age of 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, and on the same day, my beloved fourth-grade teacher. They left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely. After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me; life is not promised and neither is my future success. While I was going through the actions in an attempt to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I was just existing. It occurred to me that life has more purposes than acquiring possessions, which will only be yours until you can no longer keep up with the payments. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with you forever and that is real success. Enjoying life's precious changes makes a person more successful than a wealthy person who is not content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior year, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning information. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the blessings and successes that come with it. I still make excellent grades, but now I dedicate weeks to studying instead of preparing for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. Success, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder(旁观者). For me, being successful means truly living life each day, being thankful, and affecting the world. 1.The main idea of the first paragraph is ____________. A. the writer drew a beautiful picture for his future B. the writer was an intelligent student at school C. the writer was mad for success D. the writer devoted himself to material success 2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A..People can truly enjoy daily life by trying to achieve material success. B.Success can only be measured with a Porsche and a big house. C.People should concentrate on today and success will follow afterwards. D.The pursuit of inner peace, purpose and happiness is a real  success.3. The purpose of the writer is probably to ____________. A..advise us to have a correct attitude towards success B.inspire us to lead an active life each day C.rem  ind us to set a goal for our lifeD.persuade us to work hard to achieve our success |

| Several years ago, I had a huge falling out with one of my best friends. So huge, in fact, that now I can't even remember what happened. In the past nine years, I've seen her twice, and each time we've been polite but distant. And that troubles me because we were once close friends. I'd like nothing more than to go back nine years, and continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you've lost throughout the years? Linking to your past The desire to reconnect with lost friends isn't unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past. "Friends from years ago are custodians(监护人)of our past," says Sandy Sheehy, author of Connecting: The Enduring Power of Female Friendship. Although you can share information about your past with friends you've met recently, you don't have a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with them. But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking that first step. Shynes s or fear that the other person doesn't want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn't be. Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them. Searching for friends Fortunately, finding lost friends isn't as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information: ＊Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com. ＊Contact your high school or college alumni(校友)office to request current address information. ＊Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend's hometown. ＊Network with other friends who might have known your friend. ＊Get in touch with any of her relatives, if you know where they live. If you know where she works, find the company's web site and search the directory of personnel. 1. What is the subject discussed in the passage? A.How to make new friends. B.How to rediscover friendships. C.How to develop healthy friendships. D.How to keep in touch with friends. 2. The underlined sentence "friends from years ago are custodians of our past" means ____________. A..many years ago old friends kept something for us B.in the past old friends took care of us C.old friends are part of our life history D.old friends know what wrong things we did in the past 3. According to the passage what makes us reluctant to reconnect old friends? A. Lack of money. B. Shortage of time. C. Regret and shame. D. Fear and shyness. 4. How can we make contact with the lost friends according to the passage? A. By asking other friends of the information on your lost friends. B. By going direct to the place where he works. C.By asking the local post office about your friends' new address. D. By putting an advertisement in your friends' local town. |

| Spring, summer, autumn, and winter bring changes in the weather, plant and animal life, and the length of days and night. Seasonal changes such as these are due to three factors, the tilt (倾斜) of Earth's axis (轴) to one side; the rotation, or turn, of Earth on its axis every 24 hours; and the revolution of Earth around the sun once every year. Since Earth remains titled in the same direction during its revolution of the sun, our distance from the sun changes, causing us to experience the changing seasons. In summer the Northern Hemisphere (半球), where we live, points toward the sun, bringing us closer to it and its more direct and powerful rays. Six months later, when Earth is halfway through its revolution around the sun, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, placing us farther from it and exposing us to the weak rays of winter. The seasons in one hemisphere are opposite those in the other hemisphere. However, one area of the Earth - the equator (赤道) - is always closest to the sun, so equatorial regions experience hot weather throughout the year. In contrast, the polar regions, always farthest from the sun, experience continuous frigid weather. In the Northern Hemisphere, we observe a gradual alteration in the angle of the sun during the year. About June 21, on the summer solstice, or the first day of summer, the midday sun reaches its highest point in the sky and produces the year's maximum daylight hours. About September 22, on the autumn equinox, the midday sun is lower in the sky. Because Earth's axis is titled neither toward nor away from the sun, equal periods of daylight and darkness result. About December 21, on the winter solstice, or the first day of winter, the midday sun is at its lowest point in the sky. This brings the year's fewest daylight hours. About March 21, on the vernal equinox, or the first day of spring, the midday sun is higher in the sky. Daytime and nighttime hours are again equal. 1. This passage is mainly concerned with ____________. A. how Earth rotates on its axis B. why the various seasons occur C. why each season is three months long D. which parts of Earth are coldest 2. What happens on the summer solstice? A. The midday sun reaches its lowest point in the sky. B. Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun. C. There are equal periods of daylight and darkness. D. The midday sun produces the greatest number of daylight hours during the year. 3. In the last paragraph, the writer presents facts about equinoxes and solstices to explain _________. A. why it is hot at the equator B. the various lengths of day and night C. why the midday sun is directly overhead D. the date of the autumn equinox 4. In this passage, the underlined word "revolution" in the first paragraph means ____________. A. a great change B. an uprising C. standing still D. circling |

| 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. 1 Our ancestors performed body painting during special occasions. However, they did not use paints like the ones sold in stores today. They used natural paints to do body painting. Today, body painting is still being practised, and it is very popular in Western countries. However, back in the 1960's, the social acceptability of this art form was always in question. 2 When body painting, you do not just use any kind of paint. 3 Artists should only use paints that can be easily washed off with water and ordinary soap. So, now you know something about body painting. If you want to practise body painting, you can join in certain classes. 4 A friend or even a family member will do, but it is much easier if you practise in a class because you do not have to worry about finding a model. Body painting is a special kind of art that requires years of practice before you can become an expert in the field. 5 The Internet can provide you with all the resources you need. You simply have to spend enough time doing research and studying all of the information that you need to know. Your mind should also be free so that you can create a beautiful work of art.
