         My son was a second-grader. He went to school by bus every day. He was the first student on in the
    morning , as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself
    and it was a comfort to realize the school staff were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment.
          One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called
    the school. " perhaps he's just a bit late," said the secretary. " I will call the driver to see if those children
    are home." A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I
    called his friends' parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all " No"
          By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas. My husband wasn't
    at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out
    when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. "He's okay." I heard. " He was asleep on the seats in the
    dark, under a couple of jackets. Since it's dark, can he spend the night with my family?"
          I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of
    the list to the driver, so he could check off the children's names when they got off the bus. I think highly of
    the school for taking the cautionary(警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.

    1. From Paragraph 1 we learn that ___________

    A. the author's son went home by bus every afternoon
    B. the author's son came to school earlier than other students
    C. the author's home was farther than that of any other student
    D. the author was a teacher in her son's primary school

    2. At first the secretary thought ___________.

    A. the author's son was still at school
    B. the author's son was at his friend's home
    C. the school bus would arrive in a while
    D. there might be something wrong with the school bus.

    3. The author's son probably spent the night ___________.

    A. in the bus                    
    B. at his own home
    C. at the driver's home            
    D. in the secretary's office

         If you are above the age of 40 then there are chances you would not know much about Snap Music.
    But if that is the case, then ask your daughter or son, and perhaps, they'd even perform it for you. Indeed, Snap Music is one of the cool hip hop rap styles that support hip hop music. In simple words, Snap
    Music is the music to which you "snap (捻着手指发劈啪声) your fingers and move with the rhythm.
    This may seem relatively easy, but sure enough, it has its share of uniqueness which makes it stand apart.
         The theoretical and technical characteristics of Snap Music are slow-paced beats, regular and timed
    snapping of fingers, which created pleasing rhythms. Often as rappers rap, they get the audience clapping
    or snapping along with them.
         Snap Music was from Atlanta. It gradually made its way to the other parts of America. It is generally
    believed that Snap was inspired by Crunk Music and it is Atlanta's Crunk style. But they are quite
    different. While Crunk has high energy, Snap has an unhurried feel to it . An occasional whistle or a
    polyrhythmic (多节奏的) combination can he heard; this is done to improve the feeling of the music. It is
    also said that the music was made for the club-crowd and at first was meant for dance lovers; but as the
    form developed, it turned out to be rather slow.
          There is a wide audience for this type of music. Here , this type of hip hop music is often simple with
    not much depth or story. But then again, how many rap songs have depths and story these days? So , if
    you are a teenager or a young adult, you might just enjoy the change that Snap offers.

    1. We can learn from the text that US Snap Music ________.

    A. is well known for its fast beats
    B. is most popular in Atlanta
    C. is very similar to Crunk Music
    D. has changed in the development process

    2. Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of Snap Music?

    A. simple stories    
    B. high energy    
    C. whistles      
    D. diverse rhythms

    3. The text is written to ____________.

    A. advise people to enjoy Snap Music
    B. explain why people like Snap Music
    C. teach teenagers to perform Snap Music
    D. give a brief introduction to Snap Music

          Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do
    not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, " Happiness depends upon ourselves." In
    other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
         The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time
    thinking about future - for example, getting into college or getting a good job - that we fail to enjoy the
    present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite
    music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and
    healthier lives.
          Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget
    about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping
    others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel
    happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy
    food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

    1. The best title of the passage is ___________.

    A. Money Make You Happy                
    B. The Secrets of Happiness
    C. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy  
    D. Good Friends Make You Happy

    2. The writer thinks that _____________

    A. everyone knows how to live a happier life
    B. it's wrong to spend time on work
    C. hobbies take up too much time
    D. doing good things for someone can make you happier.

    3. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

    A. Reading a good book                
    B. Traveling to a foreign country
    C. Playing a sport                      
    D. Spending time with close friends

                                                Autumn blues? Let the sunshine in.
         Falling leaves, whithering flowers, sold winds, faint sunshine.   1  Spirits can be low.
         People who suffer from " the autumn blues" often are extremely exhausted , lack energy, need more
    sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight.
         " The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder
    (SAD), is not known yet," says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center. " But
    recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused
    by changes in the availability of sunlight."
         One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood,
    sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter.   2  Another theory is that brain chemicals
    that transmit information between nerves may be altered(改变) in individuals with SAD. It is believed
    that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.
          "      3   Remember, spring always lives in your heart," Chen says.
          Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.
    1.Go outdoors and get some sunlight. More around. Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory( 呼
    吸) system and blood circulation and regulate the nerves system. Thus , exercise is calming and relieves
    one's mood.
    2.Relax at work. Stretch, breathe deeply. Take a tea break. Think of your next vacation.
    3.   4  Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.
    4. Look at bright colors, such as red and orange.
    5.  5   Blooming plants are cheering
    6.Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed. Recall some happy memories.

    A. Exposure to light  may reset the biological clock.
    B. Decorate your room and work space with flowers
    C. It is a sad season, but you can try to make it happy.
    D.That is the way you can use to lighten yourself.
    E. Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.
    F. For many people ,late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression. Autumn always gives
        us a beautiful scene.

         I am so exciting that I can’t wait to share with you what I experienced today. I gave my first lesson
    in our school, which left me the deep impression.
      When I entered into the classroom, my students began to make much noise. I stood on the platform,
    knowing what to do at first. But soon I realized everything must be done. I asked the kids that they liked
    English songs. They all say “Yes.” I sang a song I had practiced many times. To my great surprise, all the
    kids turned their attentions to my class.
         From this experience I know however happens, we must stay calmly at first and find a wise solution.
