Every evening, 15-year-old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her uniform, and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables．Her father is disabled, so the modest profit the two of them earn must cover food, clothing and other necessities for all seven children and their parents．Despite having precious little time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary school．But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future． Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams．“We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty, their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director． Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them． Dr．Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams．Participants then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical school and science labs．Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School．Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer． “When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with Camfed Ghana．“Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages．” “I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia．For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father’s disability, the experience was important．“She told one of the camp mentors（辅导员） that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia．“But at the camp, it was different．She made friends with girls who have similar struggles．She took part in every single activity, every single game．On the last day, she said to her mentor, ‘The camp has challenged me to study hard．Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel．’ 1.How many are there in Rashida’s family? A．Seven B．Eight C．Nine D．Ten 2.According to the passage, Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp is ． A．a program to help poor girls to have ambition B．a program to help poor girl students to get university education C．a program to help poor girls to study hard D．a program to help the poor families 3.Why did the camp lead the students to visit universities and training colleges? A．To show they are better than their schools B．To encourage them to get good education． C．To show them what they are like D．To get them to touch the advanced equipment there 4.What can we infer from the passage? A．Rashida has become friends with her mentors B．Rashida’s mentors has encouraged her a lot． C．Rashida was sad because of her father’s disability． D．Rashida has had her new dream since the camp

While it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided．The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress． ◆Try physical activity When you are nervous，angry or upset，try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity．Running，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try． ◆Take care of yourself You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest．If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough，or if you’re not eating properly，it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor． ◆Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment．Don't forget，play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．Go window-shopping or work on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy． ◆Make a list of things to do Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do，and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you may not achieve anything．Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time，checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first． 1.Which of the following statements shows that you have fallen into stressful situations?

Jan．7, 2008 --- French President Nicolas Sarkozy would marry his girlfriend, former supermodel Carla Bruni on Feb．8 or 9, media reported Monday． The report said that in December --- less than a month after Sarkozy met Bruni --- he gave her a heart-shaped diamond engagement ring． Carla Bruni, Italian singer, former model and girlfriend of France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy, holds the hand of her son Aurelien while wearing a pink heart-shaped ring during a visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan．5, 2008．French newspapers reported that Sarkozy would marry her early in February． Sarkozy and his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, divorced in October．Their marital（婚姻）problems became well known in May 2005 when she appeared in public at the side of event organizer Richard Attias． A marriage to Bruni, a one-time star of the catwalks who is now a singer, would be Sarkozy’s third: He divorced his first wife, Marie, in the late 80s --- after he had met and befriended Cecilia． Political analyst Dominique Moisi said that a Sarkozy proposal to Bruni could be part of his desire to head off any future arguments, and the speed of their visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan．5, 2008 would fit with his personality as a busy man in a hurry． “Apparently, he’s going to marry her, so the problem will be behind him,” Moisi said．“He will increase the opportunities to travel with her, and to say to the French, ‘You see, I must remarry… You need a first lady．’” Bruni, an Italian-born French citizen, has dated famous men including Mick Jagger and Donald Trump．She has also reportedly been linked to singer Eric Clapton and actor Vincent Perez． 1.What is the correct order of Sarkozy’s marital history? a．Long marriage to Cecilia b．Visiting ruins with Bruni c．Getting divorced from Marie d．Giving Bruni a diamond ring e．To marry the former supermodel A．c-a-b-d-e B．e-d-c-a-b C．c-a-d-b-e D．a-c-d-b-e 2.What did Moisi really intend to inform the readers? A．The president will spend more time staying with Bruni B．Sarkozy is good at balancing state and personal affairs C．It is not easy for President Sarkozy to seek a new love D．It is a doubt whether the marriage would have a bright future 3.The possible purpose of the last paragraph is to _________ A．provide some unknown stories about Bruni’s love affairs B．show uncertainty about the former supermodel’s loyalty C．imply that past experiences have little effect on a person D．prove Bruni one of the most popular and attractive females 4.Which would be the best title for the news?

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me．” However, that’s not really true．Words have the power to build us up or tear us down．It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone’s else or ourselves --- the positive and negative effects are just as lasting． We all talk to ourselves sometimes．We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though．In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit． This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down．Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative．So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves．We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back．The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!” Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have．But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others．For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange．And the clear will probably respond in a similar manner．Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive． Words possess power because of their lasting effect．Many of us regret something we once said．And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid． Words possess power: both positive and negative．Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively．We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best．Negative words destroy all those things．Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours． 1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________． A．not sticks and stones but words will hurt us B．inspiring words give us confidence C．negative words may let us down D．words have a lasting effect on us 2.There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _______ A．almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves B．we can benefit from talking to ourselves C．talking to ourselves always gives us courage D ．it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone 3.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _______ A．praise ourselves B．remind ourselves C．make ourselves relaxed D．give ourselves amusement 4.The author would probably hold the view that ___________ A．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers B．negative words may stimulate us to make more progress C．people tend to remember friendly words D．it is better to think twice before talking to others

阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 Autumn blues? Let the sunshine in falling leaves, withering flowers, cold winds, faint sunshine．For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression．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．Exposure to light may reset the biological clock． Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered in individuals with SA D．It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances． "It is a sad season, but you can try to make it happy．Remember, spring always lives in your heart," Chen says． Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression． - Go outdoors and get some sunlight．Move around．Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory（呼吸） system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system．Thus, exercise is calming and relieves one's mood． - Relax at work．Stretch, breathe deeply．Take a tea break．Think of your next vacation． - Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket．Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits． - Look at bright colors, such as red and orange．Color therapy improves mood． - Listen to your favorite music．You can dance to it, or just lie on a cozy couch, reading a novel． - Decorate your room and work space with flowers．Blooming plants are cheering． - Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed．Recall some happy memories．
