When I was growing up, Mother’s Day was as important as Christmas. The energy around the house was always positive, mostly thanks to my father who made sure that his kids appreciated their mother. We would clean the house, and Mum got breakfast in bed in the morning and didn’t have to lift a finger all day. And in the evening, we went to a restaurant for a traditional Mother’s Day dinner. What I learned from my father over the years, was that no matter what, he always put my mother before himself. He absolutely loved her and never let her forget that. I maintain my father’s Mother’s Day tradition with my wife. Growing up, I learned that showing affection to the woman you love or who gave birth to you is an important part of life. You see, it goes both ways, and the love you have for your mother comes back to you again and again. Believing that and feeling it when you can may keep you from being lonely, even if your mum isn’t close by or has passed away. There are a number of us who no longer have a mother in our lives, and truth be told, there are often times when I wish my mum were still here comforting me. So instead, I remember the times she did just that. It makes me smile, and somehow, those memories of a more simple and loving life give me the comfort I’m looking for. If you are mumless, you too should find a deserving woman in your life and celebrate Mother’s Day with her. If you don’t know anyone, there are plenty of lonely mums in rest homes who would enjoy your company for a couple of hours. The visit will make both of your days, and perhaps our lives, a little bit better. 1.What did the author learn from his father? A.We should always put others before ourselves. B.It’s necessary to express love to those we love. C.It’s important to have an interesting family tradition. D.Mother’s Day is just as important as Christmas. 2.What does the underlined word “maintain” in paragraph 4 mean? A.honor B.pass on C.get rid of D.continue 3.Why does the author value the idea of showing love for one’s mother? A.It can set a good example for kids to follow. B.It is what mothers expect their children to do. C.It’s important to follow your father’s rules. D.It can warm your mother’s heart as well as yours. 4.What is the author’s advice to someone whose mum has passed away? A.Visit lonely mums in rest homes on Mother’s Day. B.Try to get used to life without a mum. C.Turn to other family members for love. D.Give all your attention to your mother-in-law. 5.How did the author feel when he was writing this passage? A.disappointed B.lonely C.warm D.content
Teenagers who start the school early are likely to weigh slightly more than those who start later. That’s the finding of a new study of nearly 30,000 Canadians between the ages of 10 and 18. Getting too little sleep can put kids at risk for a number of problems. Sleepy teens are more likely to be overweight, to have trouble concentrating and to struggle in school. Genevieve Gariepy, who works at Mcgill University in Montreal, Canada, wanted to know how earlier school start times might be connected with weight. “Overweight in teenagers is a big problem in North America,” she says. The number of overweight kids has grown over the past 30 years. So Gariepy decided to home in on the impact (影响) of school start times. Her team collected start times for 362 Canadian schools. Then they asked students at those schools to give their height and weight. In all, they collected data from nearly 30,000 10 to 18-year-olds. Among 6th-to 10th-graders, those who started school earlier were likely to be slightly heavier for their height. Every 10-minute delay in school start time was connected, on average, with a lightly lower weight among students who were the same sex, age and height. However, the difference is slight. Healthy eating and getting enough exercise will play a bigger role in keeping a healthy weight. Because the study compared kids who already started school at different times of day, it’s not clear that changing school start time would help heavier kids lose weight. To know for sure, researchers would want to compare the same kids before and after changing to a later school start time. Still, the study is a good start, says Cora Collette Bruener, a doctor at Seattle Children’s Hospital in Washington. The findings add to a growing pile of evidence that later school start time might be better for teen health, she says. 1.What is the finding of the new study? A.More and more teens are growing overweight. B.Healthy diets and enough exercise help reduce weight. C.Teens who start school earlier are a little overweight. D.Teens who start school earlier do not perform well. 2.What does the underlined phrase “home in on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.reduce B.focus on C.move to D.judge 3.How did Gariepy’s team get their finding? A.By recording the teen’s weight. B.By checking the teen’s physical health. C.By comparing different sets of data. D.By measuring the teen’s height. 4.What does Cora Collette Bruener think of the study? A.It has inspiring value. B.It lacks further support. C.It needs improving. D.It is well designed. 5.The passage is written to_______. A.discuss when schools should start. B.inform the finding of a recent study. C.warn parents to take good care of kids. D.call on school leaders to change schools’ schedules.

There are many differences between British English and American English. I used to teach a course about the differences between the two. We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language. We have examples of the same words having very different meanings, differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things. Here are some examples. A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK. A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK. Crisps in the UK, are known as chips, but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US. In the UK, a pie can be made from either meat or fruit, while in the US pies are normally made from fruit; pot pies are made from meat. Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US, not pounds and ounces. One very obvious difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on. Petrol in the UK is gas in the US. The place where we fill up our cars, in the UK, is a garage; while in the US, it’s a gas station. The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house. In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US. An elevator in the US is called a lift here, and the first floor in the US, is called the ground floor here, so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels. I could continue with this. There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language. With so many differences, no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well. 1.The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in____. A.vocabulary B.grammar C.sound D.spelling 2.It’s implied in the passage that the author may be______. A.a driver from the US. B.a cook from the US. C.a teacher from the UK. D.a gas station worker from the UK. 3.What can we learn from the passage? A.“Elevator” is commonly used in the UK. B.Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US. C.In the UK, things are measured in pounds and ounces. D.British and American people drive on the same side of the road.
An international group of coffee experts has considered Ethiopia’s coffee as the best in the world.Coffee is a top export (出口物) of the country. But at home, it is seen as national pride. Ethiopians feel good about their coffee, and enjoying a drink with friends is a long tradition. Some people say the climate produces quality beans. Morton Wennersgarrd is a coffee importer. He said, “Ethiopia has different ancient types of coffee. They are planted in places with perfect soil, perfect altitude (海拔), and climates that are really suitable for coffee processing.” Finding the best quality beans is often an issue of taste. The process is known as cupping — tasting and comparing coffee from different roasted beans, grading and then pricing them. But before international experts come to taste, coffee beans are studied in small coffee laboratories. Helen Assefa, a lab technician, describes the process, “When the coffee comes to the lab, we assess (评价) its quality first by recording the details.Then we weigh the moisture (水分) level and we examine the beans for analysis. After that we grind (磨碎) the coffee beans and taste the samples. In the end, we check for defective (有瑕疵的) beans.” Mubarik Abaoli is a lab worker.He says that testing is a very difficult and long process. “We select out the defects by hand. And we select out the defect according to the defect types.” Ethiopia has got a lot of money by exporting coffee to more than 120 countries. The country has an export revenue (税收) of more than 840 million a year. But not all the best coffee leaves Ethiopia. Forty percent of the coffee grown in the country stays there. It remains an important part of everyday life at work, at home and at ceremonies. 1.Ethiopians’ attitude towards coffee may best be described as . A.proud B.relaxed C.brave D.doubtful 2.The third paragraph is mainly about_______. A.the ways of making coffee B.the process of assessing the coffee C.the tips on planting the best coffee D.the influence of the coffee 3.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.More than 120 countries export coffee to Ethiopia. B.Coffee plays an important role in Ethiopians’ life. C.40% of the coffee grown in Ethiopia is exported. D.Ethiopians earn their living by exporting coffee. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To advertise the coffee in Ethiopia. B.To comment on coffee experts’ work. C.To introduce the best coffee in the world. D.To recommend tourists activities in Ethiopia.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA. But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many， many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices. Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution. Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson. 1.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___. A.the social movement B.recycling techniques C.environmental problems D.the importance of Earth Day 2.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from? A.The grass –roots level. B.The business circle. C.Government officials. D.University professors. 3.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection? A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest. B.They have settled their environmental problems. C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities. D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures. 4.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph? A.Education. B.Planning C.Green living D.CO reduction
It's school time again! You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer vacation is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school. Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over the classroom rules and school rules so you will know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention. You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't. Make the first move and you will be glad about what you did, and so will your new friends! Seeing friends you haven't seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations or a pair of sneakers. It can also make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders，and whatever else you need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning. 1.According to the passage, which is NOT the feeling when it is school time? A.Excited. B.Unhappy. C.Bored. D.Nervous. 2.The underlined phrase “kick off” in the third paragraph probably means____. A.start B.study C.find D.learn 3.The last paragraph mainly tells us about____ A.what to know about a new school. B.how to prepare for your first day of school.

What does it take to be a good neighbor？Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbors，ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs. One of the most important things in being a good neighbor is to respect尊敬 a person’s privacy(隐私).When someone new moves into the neighborhood it is a good idea to watch them to see how friendly you should be. If you go rushing over as soon as they move in they may think you are going to be one of those neighbors that come over at all times of the day，not respecting their privacy. It is a good idea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighborhood. This can not only put you on good terms with them，but will also be a form of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard this shows that you respect them. If you are friendly to them they are much more likely可能的 to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens. Another way of being a good neighbor is to be helpful in times of need. If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of a disaster(灾难)，it is good to offer your help. Even though you have never really talked to the people down the street，they are willing愿意的 to take the time to help out a neighbor in need. In conclusion，if you respect a person’s privacy，treat them kindly and be helpful when you see they are in need，you will be a great neighbor and anyone would be happy to have you next door! 1.When someone moves into your neighborhood you should . A. visit them as often as possible B. show respect for them C. learn about some of their privacy D. avoid meeting them 2.If you are getting along well with your neighbors you can . A. have your own privacy B. often visit their yard C. make close friends with them D. keep your family members safe 3.What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. Neighbors should help each other. B. Everybody probably gets into trouble. C. Neighbors should respect each other. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 4.In the opinion of the author，neighbors should always be . A. helpful，strong and kind B. honest，active and friendly C. respectful，friendly and helpful D. polite，honest and kind

Doctors have been researched what effect stand-up and other forms of comedy have to us. They have discovered people laugh a lot live longer. They say this is because when you laugh, your brain sends chemical around your body that are good for you. Laughing helps your body stay health and can even helped you fight pain. Maybe this explains the long lives of men like Bob Hope or George Burns. Whichever the reason is, research shows in the end, the English saying, ‘Laughter is the best medicine’, may be true after all. So, go and make someone to laugh—it just might help you live much longest.

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism. I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War. H. B. Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt directly with slavery. With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story. Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twain’s most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurrences of the word nigger. But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery. Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man.” There is much more. Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’n-head Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day. Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites, especially in intelligence, Twain’s tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth. A slave gave birth to her master’s baby and, for fear that the child should be sold South, switched him for the master’s baby by his wife. The slave’s light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class. The master’s wife’s baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave. The point was difficult to miss: nurture (养育), not nature, was the key to social status. The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech, for example—were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims. 1.How do Twain’s novels on slavery differ from Stowe’s? A.Twain was more willing to deal with racism. B.Twain’s attack on racism was much less open. C.Twain’s themes seemed to agree with plots. D.Twain was openly concerned with racism. 2.Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its ________. A.target readers at the bottom B.anti slavery attitude C.rather impolite language D.frequent use of “nigger” 3.What best proves Twain’s anti slavery stand according to the author? A.Jim’s search for his family was described in detail. B.The slave’s voice was first heard in American novels. C.Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture. D.Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent. 4.The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that ________. A.slaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters B.slaves babies could pick up slave holders way of speaking C.blacks social position was shaped by how they were brought up D.blacks were born with certain features of prejudice
