【题目】A group of frogs were traveling through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs didn't listen and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what the other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.

The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even harder and finally made himself out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words—anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. But an encouraging word can go such a long way.

【答案】After two frogs fell into a deep pit, one died because of his companions' discouraging words while the other that mistook them for encouraging ones got out. So words have powerful effects on people's attitude towards life.

We use words every day but not all of us realize their powerful influence. A student will spare no efforts to study because of others' inspiring words. On the contrary, if he is told that there is no possibility for him to succeed, he may really give up and end up as a failure totally.

My friend Mary had a traffic accident and got severely hurt. Though the chances for her recovery were little, her mother decided to tell a lie in order to cheer her up. It was the power of words that actually helped her stand up and walk again.

In conclusion, when faced with negative and discouraging remarks, we ought to turn a deaf ear to them as they will destroy our hope and faith. What matters more to us are those positive words that make us highly inspired and motivated. In the meantime, give our positive words to people around us because they will give us theirs in return.

【题目】阅读理解
Kathy Fletcher and David Simpson have a son named Santi. He had a friend who sometimes went to school hungry. So Santi invited him to occasionally eat and sleep at his house.
That friend had a friend and that friend had a friend, and now when you go to dinner at Kathy and David's house on Thursday night there might be 15 to 20 teenagers gathering around the table, and later there will be groups of them crashing in the basement or in the few small bedrooms upstairs. The kids who show up at Kathy and David's have suffered the pains of modern poverty: homelessness, hunger, abuse.
And yet by some miracle, hostile soil has produced beautiful flowers. Kids come from around the city. Spicy chicken and black rice are served. Cellphones are banned. The kids who call Kathy and David “Momma” and “Dad,” are polite and clear the dishes. Birthdays and graduations are celebrated. Songs are performed. Each meal we go around the table and everybody has to say something nobody else knows about them. Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another.
The adults in this community give the kids the chance to present their gifts. “At my first dinner, Edd read a poem that I first thought was from Langston Hughes, but it turned out to be his own. Kesari has a voice that somehow appeared from New Orleans jazz from the 1920s. Madeline and Thalya practice friendship as if it were the highest art form.”
“They give us a gift — complete intolerance of social distance. When I first met Edd, I held out my hand to shake his. He looked at it and said, “We hug here,” and we've been hugging since.”
Bill Milliken, a veteran youth activist, is often asked which programs turn around kids' lives. “I still haven't seen one program change one kid's life,” he says. “What changes people is relationships. Somebody is willing to walk through the shadow of the valley of adolescence with them.” Souls are not saved in bundles. Love is the necessary force.
(1)Why do kids come to Kathy and David's house on Thursdays?
A.To help the homeless at first hand.
B.To experience the feeling of home.
C.To learn about the modern poverty.
D.To plant beautiful flowers in poor soil.
(2)Why isn't the use of cell phones allowed at Thursday dinners?
A.Kids need to tell stories about themselves.
B.Kids are expected to care more for each other.
C.Kids have to do house chores around the home.
D.Kids prepare songs for birthdays and graduations.
(3)What gift did the writer get at a Thursday dinner?
A.The practice of the art form.
B.The pleasure of enjoying jazz.
C.The chance to listen to poems.
D.The zero distance between souls.
(4)What does Bill mean in his words?
A.Love is the power to change a kid's life.
B.Money is needed to start programs for kids.
C.A program can change a group of kid's lives.
D.Kids change their relationships in a program.

【题目】阅读理解
When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.
I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go and down I grew scared. I didn't want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.
I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night's sleep.
I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to hey can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again!

【题目】Life is full of funny moments, and not just for humans.

Over the years, studies by various groups have suggested that monkeys, dogs and even rats love a good laugh. People, meanwhile, have been laughing since before they could talk.

Jaak Panksepp, a professor at Bowling Green State University, US, said he would not be surprised if positive feelings could be produced in some animals. Dolphins, for example, have long attracted animal researchers because of the complex (复杂的) ways in which they communicate: a rich variety of sounds of different rhythms. A decade ago, researchers studying dolphins at the Kolmarden Wildlife Park in Sweden noticed a set of sounds the dolphins made during play-fighting. They concluded that the purpose of the sound was to suggest that the situation was pleasant and to prevent it from a real fight.

Panksepp has even seen evidence of joy in crayfish (小龙虾). When given small amounts of drugs such as cocaine (可卡因) in a certain place, they appear to connect that location with pleasure. “Given the chance, they will always return to that place, perhaps in the hope of getting more,” he says. Panksepp wasn’t sure it equals the same happiness that humans get from cocaine, but said it “could be in the same evolutionary category”.

More studies are needed to really understand animals’ laughter. Strangely enough, the answers may help with our own desires for cures for mental illnesses. Panksepp’s experiments may soon lead to a new antidepressant (抗抑郁) drug that works by using the pathways in the brain behind positive feelings and joy. Perhaps pleasure and laughter in the animal world will help solve the depression in our own species one day.

1Scientists are always interested in doing research on dolphins because dolphins ________.

A. understand humans’ sounds

B. show positive feeling while playing

C. make different sounds when they communicate

D. make a set of sounds during play-fighting games

2What do the underlined words “our own species” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Animals.

B. Humans.

C. Sounds.

D. Pleasure.

3From the passage we can learn that ________.

A. people learn to talk before they can laugh.

B. animals have a very good sense of location.

C. humans have known the animals’ happiness well.

D. there is still much left to learn about animals’ laughter.

4Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A. Animals Feeling Joy.

B. Man and Nature.

C. Sounds Made by Animals.

D. A Long Way to Go.

【题目】School kids have always complained about having tons of homework. A study offers ways to reduce the load (负荷).children are carrying to avoid hurting young shoulders and backs.

Children generally carry about 22 percent of their body weight in backpacks—for a teenager, that can reach more than 30 pounds of books, food, calculators, and other necessities of modern life. When that amount of pressure is placed on one or two narrow shoulder straps (带子), the weight can easily reduce blood flow to kids’ skin and muscles (肌肉).

Even at 10 percent of body weight, the pressures were still high, and that hasn’t been measured before,’’ said Brandon Macias. According to the study, the pressures were measured when the packs were loaded with 10 percent of the students’ body weight, then 20 percent, and finally 30 percent. An unusual finding came to light—even when both straps were used, pressure on the students’ shoulders was uneven (不平均的). It seems like the right shoulder becomes loaded more, which over a period of years may cause back pain.

The research team came up with the following advice based on its study. The backpack should be positioned (放置) high on the back, reducing the stress on the shoulders and back. And backpack straps should be positioned over both shoulders, lowering the amount of weight carried by one shoulder. Wider straps also reduce the pressure on the shoulders. And finally, the weight in backpacks should be reduced.

1The study mentioned above was carried out for the purpose of ________.

A. helping kids grow taller

B. improving students’ grades

C. reducing kids’ chances of having back pain

D. helping students with pressure in their studies

2Which of the following statements about the students’ backpacks is right?

A. The bag with one shoulder strap is more suitable for students.

B. The weight of the backpack should be 22% of their body weight.

C. The two straps of a bag don’t share the same weight from a bag.

D. Students usually carry a bag about 10 percent of their body weight

3The underlined phrase “came to light” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.

A. was changed B. was tested

C. was impossible D. was known

4The following are suggested by the research team EXCEPT ________.

A. using wider straps

B. reducing the weight of the school bags

C. positioning the school bags high on the back

D. using more than one bag for kids, school things
