    Honesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version (版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else.”

    Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have. Try being honest, and notice how well it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that: In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.

    At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.

    It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength.

    1.The black words “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “______”.

    A. to be honest

    B. to be unreal

    C. to become clear

    D. to come from an imagined world

    2.Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?

    A. Be your true self rather than follow others.

    B. Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.

    C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.

    D. Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.

    3.What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?

    A. Honesty can be of great help.

    B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.

    C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.

    D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.

    4.In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express ______.

    A. one must be brave to be honest

    B. it’s difficult to be honest when others are not

    C. one should be honest when making a deposit

    D. honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future

    Fashion always keeps at least one eye on the future. Now scientists are lending a hand, developing tomorrow’s super-powered（超能）clothing such as coats that can recharge（再充电） your MP3 player and make you stronger.

    For example, electronics could get recharged in the future simply by plugging（插上插座） them into your outer wear, because Australian researchers are designing clothing that can collect energy from a person. The coats would include small things that change vibration energy（动能）from a person’s movements into electricity. High-tech fabrics（纤维品）would carry this energy to batteries（电池）.

    “It will look like an ordinary（common）coat but have super energy,” said Adam Best, an Australian head research scientist. “This kind of technology has important uses for soldiers in the field and could mean they no longer need to carry heavy batteries,’’ Best added. “Above all, they’d be wearing the battery, not carrying it.” Besides helping soldiers, these coats could also have common uses for common people, such as powering radios, mobile phones, MP3 players or medical things. Solar-powered handbags could do the same thing.

    Thanks to self-cleaning fabrics developed by scientists working for the U. S. Air Force, underwear and sports clothing could go weeks without washing. The general idea of clothes that never get dirty can be found in the 1951 film The Man in the White Suit. The new technology helps keep off water, oil and bacteria（细菌）.

    High-tech fabrics could also help serve as protection. For example, future fabrics could lead to soft helmets（头盔）that turn hard in an accident.

    Not all the possible fabrics of tomorrow are necessarily high-tech. For example, chicken feathers（羽毛） and other things of the farming industry could get changed into wool-like fabrics or cotton-like ones, helping use fewer fabrics made from oil.

    Scientific development is also creating wool that doesn’t become bigger or smaller after washing. And future clothing could help soldiers shoulder heavy bags and help people walk. But not all electronic coats have such uses—some might serve as video game players with high technology and the latest fashion joined together perfectly.

    The world of fashion is set to be taken by high-tech clothing that works as you wear!

    1.“This kind of technology” means “________”.

    A．clothing that makes you stronger

    B．self-cleaning clothing

    C．clothing that helps people walk

    D．self-powered clothing

    2.How can high-tech fabrics protect people from danger?

    A．We will no more get hurt because of heavy batteries.

    B．High-tech fabrics serve as a kind of protection for soldiers.

    C．A soft helmet will become strong when you hit into something.

    D．Future clothing keeps us away from dirty things and bacteria.

    3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

    A．You can get electronic energy from your clothes in the future.

    B．Self-cleaning coats are developed for American scientists.

    C．We will no longer use fabrics made from oil in the future.

    D．The future high-tech clothing will be used only for soldiers.

    4.What would be the best title of the passage?

    A．Fashion Changes with Technology

    B．Tomorrow’s High-tech Clothing

    C．New Technologies Change the World

    D．What We Will Wear in the Future

    When did you last see a polar(极地的)bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island , New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.

    Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

    The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

    The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental（精神的）. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says,“When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away(漂走).”

    1.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that __________.

    A. they must reach the age of 60

    B. they should be easy to make friends with

    C. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months

    D. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February

    2.Doctors __________.

    A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively

    B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming

    C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer

    D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming

    3.According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that __________.

    A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

    B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

    C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

    D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

    4.The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for __________.

    A. they can remain young

    B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter

    C. they find it enjoyable and interesting

    D. they might meet fewer troubles in life

    5.The passage is mainly about __________.

    A. a group of cold-water swimming lovers

    B. the polar bears' life

    C. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming

    D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

    When I was young, I was kind of shy. Fortunately, I changed a lot by junior high. Shyness gets in the way of success, but it doesn't have to hold you back. Here are some tips that may help you overcome it.

    1. The excitement of being lost at something that you love can help you forget your nervousness while showing off in public.

    Next, why not get more chances to speak in public? For me, when I got to high school, I took speech classes. 2.

    Then, don’t think about what will happen. It’s possible that you might be laughed at when speaking. 3. What really happens is better than what we imagine.

    Finally, remember past successes. Whether it is making a successful speech, remembering past successes can help inspire you to get future success. 4. If you succeeded in the past, then you can succeed again!

    It's actually natural to be a little bit nervous about meeting new people, making cold calls, or giving a speech. That nervousness doesn't have to keep you from succeeding, though.

    A. First of all, you’d better concentrate on what you enjoy.

    B. These successes are "proof" that you can do it.

    C. I still feel a little uncomfortable when I realize.

    D. However, others may not even notice your mistake.
