Three years ago, I went to a boarding school. The reason for my attended such a school was that my parents was very busy. They often went abroad on business but had no time to take care of myself. Besides, they thought I ought learn to be independent. Honest speaking, the school life does benefit me a lot. I not only learned some ways to solve problem on my own but also learned how to get along with others. But that I treasure most now is the friendship that I developed into at that time. How I miss that wonderful time!

I had the honor of being elected chief of my tribe(部落). With the title came great responsibility. It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their warriors leapt from a canoe and faced us down with fierce growls, bulging eyes and much swishing of sticks. They laid a palm frond on the ground and, as head honcho, I was compelled to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. “Kia ora”, he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.
My “tribe” was my New Zealand tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they showed their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance by the All Blacks rugby team.
Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat that simmers just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.
Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our hilarious Maori elder driver being deserving of his own television show. “The wheels on the bus go round and round,” he got us singing, while he circuited(绕……环行) a roundabout three times.
A couple of days from the end of my trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I yearned to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a hill, there it was – Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “Land of the long white cloud”. Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa?” You bet I can.
1.Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?
A. Kia ora. B. Haka.
C. Tamaki. D. Hangi.
2.What does the author think of the driver?
A. He was good at singing.
B. He made the journey memorable.
C. He was not familiar with the road.
D. He performed well on a TV show.
3.What is the best title for the text?
A. A Taste of Maori Culture.
B. Hello, New Zealand
C. The Honor of Being a tribe Chief
D. The Best of New Zealand

Mars(火星)appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water,at least in the summer,scientists reported Monday."It suggests that it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars," NASA's science mission chief,John Grunsfeld,said at a news conference on September 28,2015.
The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long,scientists said."What we're dealing with is wet soil.Thin layers of wet soil,not standing water," said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson,the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's high-resolution imaging experiment.
Because liquid water is extremely necessary to life,the findings could have major possible effects for the possibility of Martian life.The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.
The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars.Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel.NASA's goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.
The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark,narrow streaks(条痕)on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.
Mars is extremely cold even in summer,and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit.But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.
The source of the water is a mystery(神秘的事物).Scientists noted it could be melting ice.It could be an underground aquifer(砂石含水层),which is rock or sand that can hold water.It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere,or it may be a combination Michael Meyer,lead scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth-something a U.S.lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.
1.What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?
A. The distance from the sun. B. The favorable climate.
C. The gravity of the earth. D. The salt in it.
2.According to John Grunsfeld,on Mars there seems to be .
A. salty water B. standing water
C. rocket fuel D. human beings
3.Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars.
A. state B. source
C. temperature D. taste
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Streams of Water Spotted on Mars
B. Astronauts Will Land on Mars
C. NASA's Mars Exploration Program
D. A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars

Long nights of winter can leave even the most positive people feeling cranky(古怪的).But for about 5% of Americans, it’s more serious: seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that most occurs in the winter. Symptoms include loss of energy, eating more and difficulty in concentrating.
The cause of SAD is unknown, but darker days probably play a role. Reduced levels of natural sunlight can disrupt your body’s internal clock, which can lead to depression. It also causes a drop in serotonin (血清素),a feel-good brain chemical. Severe cases may need antidepressant treatment. You can’t prevent the disorder from developing, but you can ease the symptoms.
Consider light therapy
Exposure to bright light that mimics(模仿)natural light is thought to affect mood-related brain chemicals and ease symptoms. It involves sitting in front of a special light box or wearing a cap-like lighted visor (盔甲),for about 30 minutes a day. Another therapy uses a “dawn simulator” that is turned on early in the morning and gradually increases in brightness, allowing your body to wake up naturally. Light therapy can have minor side effects, such as eye strain and headaches, and it isn’t recommended for people with skin sensitivity.
Go outside
Yes, even if it’s cold and cloudy. Natural light is still good for you, and it can relieve your symptoms, especially if you head outdoors within two hours of waking up. At home, open the blinds and drapes to let in the light.
Eat right and exercise
Two health basics can help here, too. A well-balanced diet can improve energy levels, and regular physical activity works to boost your mood and ease stress and anxiety which can aggravate SAD symptoms.
Spend time with friends
Make an effort to see people you enjoy, even when you’re down. Staying connected to your social circle and participating in your regular activities can offer great support during the winter months.
1.Which of the following about SAD is NOT true?
A. It most occurs in the winter.
B. It may result in the absence of concentration.
C. It results from too much exposure to the sun.
D. Causes remain to be discovered.
2.Light therapy .
A. is of no use unless being exposed to the sun for about 30 minutes a day
B. is a good way to anyone
C. can prevent seasonal affective disorder from developing
D. doesn’t suit those with skin sensitivity
3.What does the underlined word “aggravate” mean in the passage?
A. To make something worse. B. To get rid of something.
C. To make anything better. D. To get anything changed.
4.Which column could the passage come from?
A. Education. B. Finance.
C. Travel. D. Science.
