Dear James,
Thanks for your letter. I’m delight that you’re coming over and we’re all looking forward to see you again. I can understand you are nervous about travelling by your own. Don’t worry! We’ll pick you up at the airport. Telling me your flight number and arrival time, and we can meet you while you arrive. Kate wonders if you could bring him some of that wonderful cheese we eat in your parents’ house last month. She keep talking about it. I don’t think it should be problem bringing it into the country. Let me know as soon as you can book your flight.
Love,
Sandra

A man was really worried about his son, 1. was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk 2.(train) his child.
The Buddhist monk said to the boy’s father, “You should leave your son to me. I will make him a man of3.(brave) within three months. However, you can’t come to see him during that period.”
Three months later, the boy’s father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the child and a(n)4.（profession） boxer（拳击手）.
Each time the boxer hit the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up. Several times later，the Buddhist monk asked，“5. do you think of your child?”
“What 6. shame!” the boy’s father said. " I never thought he could be so7.(easy)knocked down. I shouldn’t have left him here at all.”
“I’m sorry that' s all you see. Don’t you see 8. each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of9.(cry)? That' s the kind of courage you wanted him to have.”
If each time you are knocked down and you have the courage to stand up again, then you can be proud 10. yourself.

Exercise
Exercise is a way of keeping the body healthy through being active. Another name for exercise is physical fitness. Most people exercise in their spare time. Sports are some of the most popular ways to get exercise.
The two main kinds of exercise are aerobic exercise(有氧运动)and anaerobic exercise(无氧运动). Sports such as football and basketball are great forms of exercises. 1.
Aerobic exercise is energetic movement that lasts for a certain period of time.2. The lungs and the heart work harder to bring in extra oxygen. Swimming, cycling, running and rapid walking are good examples of aerobic exercise.
Anaerobic exercise is a powerful burst of movement followed by a period of rest. During anaerobic exercise the muscles need more energy than the body can make with its supply of oxygen. After the exercise a person feels out of breath because the muscles have worked without oxygen.
3.
Exercise affects every part of the body in positive ways. It improves balance and coordination(协调).4.Exercise strengthens the heart and increases the lungs’ ability to take in oxygen. Through exercise the bones and muscles get stronger, and the whole body becomes healthy and strong.
5.People who exercise generally have a more positive, happy attitude.
A. This is because they combine both of these types.
B. Frequent and regular exercise helps prevent diseases.
C. Exercise also gives people a greater feeling of well-being.
D. It also improves posture, or the resting position of the body.
E. Weight lifting, jumping, and golfing are all types anaerobic exercise.
F. Physical exercise can contribute positively to keeping a healthy weight.
G. During aerobic exercise the body combines oxygen with sugar to get more energy.
Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics.”
Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected ), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a million-dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense,” Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he
added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox（悖论） is open for future physicists to solve.
When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren’t yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.”
When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important, ”Greene said. “But I think it’s really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details．”
Greene has followed Albert Einstein’s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam.” It’s about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena（现象）-- and having fun!
1.A million-dollar question is probably very .
A. direct B. difficult
C. personal D. long
2.The books by Weinberg and Susskind .
A. are boring to read B. are mainly about math
C. are popular science books D. are only popular among kids
3.According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with?
A. Modern physics is a boring subject.
B. Interest plays an important role in studying.
C. It is not necessary to learn all about physics.
D. It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.
4.In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that .
A. kids can love science and physics B. kids can do well in physics exams
C. kids can have fun with experiments D. kids can find more strange things in life
As an oceanographer（海洋学家）， I’ve spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean, and now we’re putting that technology to use in our JASON Project, a program that’s designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In theaters throughout the country, we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them. The kids have the sensation(感受） of really being at the site with us.
I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel. In the next 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模拟) other environment. I like to call this rooms “home domes” -- small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert. or a forest. Hand in hand with these rooms, I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world. You could rent (租)a robot working in a rain forest, then go into your home dome, where you yourself operate the robot’s movements. The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robot’s environment and simulate them for you.
Today, much of the world’s population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earth’s sights. But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the globe. And simulated travel will also help protect our planet. You can’t take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fossey’s gorillas（大程猩）． But a small robot, with no animal smell, can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.
1.The main purpose of the JASON Project is to .
A. design robots B. educate children
C. explore the world D. improve technology
2.Without going outside, people in “home domes”can .
A. enjoy a guided trip B. get very close to nature
C. develop and operate robots D. send images back to scientists
3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of robot technology?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful. D. Dissatisfied.
4.According to the text, simulated travel .
A. has been widely accepted B. costs lots of time and money
C. is harmful to the environment D. is time-and money-saving
