All the students were actively in response to it and most of them have come up with their ideas.

Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It’s wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.

To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn          ; butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl. I feel that one of these — the breaststroke — is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training.

In swimming, there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:

(1) Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don’t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble.

(2) Don’t go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach. Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.

(3) Don’t smoke .Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it.

(4) Work at any activity that builds muscles.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?  (no more than 10 words)

2.Which age is best for a child to learn swimming? ( no more than 2 words )

3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. ( no more than 7 words )

4.Why can’t you swim alone according to the passage? ( no more than 10 words)

5.What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to? ( no more than 3 words )

Zhu Haoyu, 18, a history major, wears his iPod everywhere on campus. The freshman has it going out for a walk, visiting the library or lying in bed. However, he found that his habit is like displaying a big “Do not disturb ”sign for himself.

As time slips away, he has begun to regret not having conversed much with his peers around . “As I put the little buds (耳机) into my ears, I’m immersed in a universe of my own, forgetting all troubles in the real world,” said Li.

The MP3 player is one of a number of gadgets (小玩意)—starting with the Sony Walkman, which led to the iPod, iPhone and iPad —that give people the ability to shut themselves off from world around them.

Youngsters delight in handset (手持的) technology. In public, students chat on their cell phones, stopping only to talk briefly to friends. On buses or trains it’s common to see youngsters with PlayStations instead of playing poker or sharing jokes or games. And during airline flights, people watch episodes (连续剧) of US TV dramas on their iPads, rather than talking.

The BBC News magazine recently published an article saying that headphone wearing culture is making us anti-social. “Half of humankind is wired to a parallel universe that leaves them ignoring their surroundings and fellows,” wrote Tom de Castella.

Actually, it’s a decade since Apple unveiled the iPod, which promised “1,000 songs in your pocket”. In 2007 more than half of Western residents were using an iPod or MP3 player.

Entertainment is on offer in all surroundings, not just at home. But in the meantime, it has created barriers between us. Many people subscribe to the view that the headphone culture is creating a “spoilt, selfish generation that lacks civic(公民的)culture”.

However, many users of portable MP3 players argue that the device, as a mind drug, helps them relieve stress by escaping for a while. It is also said to be able to help some students concentrate on work or study. “If you want to get away from the hucksters (小贩) on the way, just start listening to your player,” said Liu, a freshman. “They do not approach people with headphones on.” This might also mean he’s blocking those who want to ask him for the directions.

Experts, however, say that short contacts or mini conversations with strangers are helpful to our mind. Many experts warn that it is dangerous to lose touch with people in our lives.

1.Zhu Haoyu found that his wearing the iPod        .

A.disturbed others

B.made it easy for him to keep in touch with others

C.made it easy for him to visit the library

D.made others unwilling to talk to him

3.What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

A.Students are always busy chatting on their cell phones in public.

B.Young people are fond of portable listening or visual devices.

C.Young people like to watch US TV dramas on their iPads.

D.People like to enjoy the networking.

4.Which of the following is not true?

A.Headphone wearing culture makes people ignore their surroundings and fellows.

B.Apple released the iPod ten years ago.

C.There are still many people support the headphone culture.

D.It’s dangerous to have conversations with strangers.

5.What is the writer’s attitude towards the headphone culture ?

A.Agreeable.

B.Critical.

C.Doubtful.

D.Neutral.

It takes less than six seconds to leave a first impression. It is said that we ought not judge a book by its cover, but come on, isn’t it the color, the design, the layout, and the title that draw us to pick up a book we’ve never heard of before? Notice what your assumptions are about a person when you are first introduced to her or him.

Something that most of us don’t take notice of is how we stand or walk. Let’s say you are going for a job interview. Within seconds you have already said a lot about yourself by the way you walk. The majority of us walk around everyday without paying any attention to what we are saying even though we are not uttering a word. There is a lot that can be said about body language from the clothes you wear to the gestures you make.

I took notice of this topic recently as I recalled something about changing my posture to improve my level of confidence. I was about to venture on a new project, which would take me out of my comfort zone. My gremlins (小精灵) were having a field day with me uttering all kinds of reasons why I couldn’t do a good job with this new opportunity. I tucked in my tummy (收缩肚子) , put my shoulders back , held my head high , and took a walk. Soon thereafter, I felt so much better. I approached the project with new possibility. Wow, what a difference ! Try it !

The ability to capture your audience when you walk into a room is sure to start you off on the right foot when going on an interview. Non-verbal signals have five times the impact of verbal (言语的)signals. So you can count on losing your audience when you walk in with head down dragging your feet regardless how much you try to change it.

A.we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover

B.a person’s appearance can be misread

2.The author approached his project with new possibility after        .

3.According to the author , when we go for a job interview , we       .

A.shouldn’t say a lot about ourselves

B.shouldn’t walk with our head high up

C.should pay enough attention to our body language and gesture

D.should only pay attention to the way we walk within the first few seconds

4.The author probably believes that        .

A.non-verbal signals are more important than verbal signals

B.non-verbal signals are not so easy to catch

C.we mainly rely on verbal signals during an interview

D.we shouldn’t pay too much attention to our non-verbal signals

5.What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A.How to prepare for a job interview

B.The way we walk says a lot about us.

C.How to read a person from the way he walks.

D.How complicated body language is.

Many women write to me perplexed(困惑的)about why they can’t form close friendships. They try new approaches, put themselves in all the right places, see therapists, and read relevant self-help books. They consider themselves interesting, loyal, kind and friend-worthy people. But for reasons unknown to them, they have a tough time forming intimate relationships. Many admit to not having even one close friend.

A recent study published in the Journal of personality and Social Psychology offers some clues as to how both nature (personality) and nurture (experience) impact our friendships. Researchers at the University of Virginia and University of Toronto, Mississauga studied more than 7,000 American adults between the ages of 20 and 75 over a period of ten years, looking at the number of times these adults moved during childhood. Their study, like prior ones, showed a link between residential mobility and adult well-being: The more times participants moved as children , the poorer the quality of their adult social relationships.

But digging deeper, the researchers found that personality—specifically being introverted (内向的) or extroverted (外向的) — could either intensify of buffer (缓冲) the effect of moving to a new town or neighborhood during childhood. The negative impact of more moves during childhood was far greater for introverts compared to extroverts.

“Moving a lot makes it difficult for people to maintain long-term close relationships,” stated Dr. Shigehiro Oishi, the first author of the study, in a press release from the American Psychological Association, “This might not be a serious problem for outgoing people who can make friends quickly and easily. Less outgoing people have a harder time making new friends.”

Families often have to relocate — across town, across the country, or across the globe. Yet, in many cases, their kids and young adolescents haven’t yet built up a bank of friendships. So the conventional wisdom is to try to minimize moves for the sake of your child, whenever possible , and to move at the end of the academic year.

1.The passage is written mainly to        .

A.offer advice to women on how to form intimate relationships .

B.explain how nature and nurture impact our friendships.

C.explain how moves during childhood affect children.

D.tell us how to help children make friends.

2.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?

A.People who moved less during childhood have better social relationships.

B.The more people moved during childhood, the more friends they have.

C.The more people moved during childhood, the better they adjust to society.

D.There is no link between residential mobility and adult well-being.

3.In order for children to maintain long-term close relationships , parents         .

A.should not relocate their homes

B.should relocate their homes within the town

C.had better move at the end of school year

D.had better move when their children couldn’t build up a bank of friendships

4.We learn from the fourth paragraph that moves during childhood         .

A.have a bigger impact on an introverted person compared to extroverts.

B.have no impact on an outgoing person

C.are a big problem for both introverts and extroverts

D.help children better adapt to new environment

5.We can infer from the passage that          .

A.our friendships are mainly affected by our nurture

B.we can move when children have made a lot of friends

C.the impact of moves will disappear when one reaches adulthood

D.there is some way to minimize the impact of moves during childhood on children

Betty Skelton was often called “The First Lady of Firsts’’ because of the many records she set. She grew up in Pensacola, Florida, watching airplanes flying to and from a nearby navy base. As a child, she persuaded her parents to let her take flying lessons. By 12, Betty made her first flight alone, though not legally permitted to do so until she turned 16.

During the 1940s, female pilots were mostly prevented from commercial and military flying. So Betty Skelton decided to use her flight skills in aerobatics(特技飞行),performing difficult turns, drops, and other exercises. She began performing and competing around the country.

She won the International Feminine Aerobatic Championship(IFAC)for three years in a row, starting in 1948. She and her little Pitts Special plane the “Little Stinker’’ became famous.

Dorothy Cochrane is an aviation expert who once studied and worked with Betty Skelton. “Betty was such a wonderful aerobatic pilot that she really set the bar high for other women to follow and she was a great role model for them. She really was as good as some of the men.”

Once Ms. Skelton had made her mark on flying, she moved on to racecars, becoming the first female test driver in the racecar industry. She set several land speed records. She also set a cross-country record, driving from New York to California in under 57 hours. And she became one of the top women advertising experts working with General Motors in support of the company’s Corvette car.

Ms. Skelton died in August, 2011, at the age of 85. Visitors to the Washington area can see her “little Stinker” plane at the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The small red and white plane hangs high in the air above the entrance to the museum.
