    I believe the very nature of writing is to set the writer free, not to impress readers. I encourage my students to write freely. By now we taste the good of free writing and enjoy it very much. And I imagine you may have tons of questions about free writing. First, how to improve my logic? 1.The power of writing has to do with its emotion, and logic, and therefore we try extra hard to be logical — but this kind of forced logic is not something we can force on ourselves, or on our writings. When we let our emotional voice come out freely, our logical voice will also come out — that is the charm of free writing. Read your own free writings, you will find many free writings are quite logical indeed. You are not that illogical as you thought of yourself.

    2.Yes, sometimes our ideas are boring, and sometimes we are boring people — so what? Who says we have to be amazing all the time? Let’s respect our human reality. The good thing we need to do is to continue to write patiently. Persistence wins the battle. Sometimes the idea may seem boring to us, but as we continue to write, something else will come up. 3.Our writing does not have to be immortal(不朽的) or amazing. Writing is just a way to express ourselves. Please don’t worship writing.

    Now, what if my writing often shows my dark side that I don’t want to see at all?

    4.As human beings, we all have our dark sides. What is the right way for us to become better people? To face them honestly or to hide them and pretend they never exist? Honesty is always the best policy. Our dark sides need to be expressed, and free writing is a perfect outlet. The miracle is, after you express yourself truthfully, you will have less negative emotions, be more at peace with yourself, and have more compassion(同情) for others. 5. Many of my students have experienced the healing effects of free writing. And I believe you will experience the same wonderful healing.

    A. This is a very honest question.

    B. Logic is only one aspect of writing.

    C. Then, what if my ideas are boring?

    D. And free writing is exactly the opposite.

    E. We write to free ourselves, and also to free others.

    F. Have you ever wondered why free writing sets us free?

    G. Our goal is not to amaze people, but to express ourselves.

    Crazy Festivals

    Mike the Headless Chicken Festival

    In 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen attempted to cut off the head of Mike, a chicken, so his wife could cook it up for dinner. However, the bird didn’t die and lived another year and a half, making regular trips to the fair, where people paid a quarter to see the amazing headless chicken bird.

    Today, the spirit of Mike the headless Chicken is celebrated with a two-day May festival in Fruita, Colorado, which includes live music, a golf tournament（锦标赛）, and lots of tasty chicken.

    Roswell UFO Festival

    In the summer of 1947, a flying saucer(碟状物) crashed on a large farm outside the town of Roswell, New Mexico. The government says it didn’t come from outer space, but many top UFO researchers believe it did.

    When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

    When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

    When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

    For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.

    It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

    1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to _____.

    A. become serious about her study

    B. go to her friend’s house regularly

    C. learn from her classmates at school

    D. share poems and stories with her friend

    2. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.

    A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

    B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London

    C. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared

    D. we parted with each other in London

    3.According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.

    A. call each other regularly

    B. have similar personalities

    C. enjoy writing to each other

    D. dream of meeting each other

    4.What is the best title for the passage?

    A. Unforgettable Experiences

    B. Remarkable Imagination

    C. Lifelong Friendship

    D. Noble Companions

    Nobody likes an old poop（傻子）. Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.

    Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled（溢出）water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle（咯咯地笑）rather than a scolding.

    Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.

    Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.

    1.If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, it means ______.

    A. you are humorous B. you are blue

    C. you lack humor D. you are funny

    2.According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ______.

    A. laugh at him B. chuckle

    C. scold him D. feel embarrassed

    3. In the author’s opinion, if your mother serves green eggs and hum to you on your graduation day, she is ______.

    A. boring B. serious C. considerate D. humorous

    4.What is the best title for the passage?

    A. How to Develop a Sense of Humor

    B. Ways to Become a Healthy Individual

    C. The Function of Humor

    D. Proper Attitudes Toward Humor

    Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

    My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.

    I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.

    Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.

    Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”

    1.The best title for the passage would be _________.

    A. Break away from Modern life

    B. Touched by the Moon

    C. A Bottomless well of Silence

    D. The Pleasures of Modern Life

    2.The writer felt sorry for himself because __________.

    A. there was too much pollution.

    B. there were too many accidents on the road.

    C. he failed to see the fullest moon.

    D. he didn’t adapt to modern inventions

    3.Modern things are mentioned mainly to ___________.

    A. show that the writer likes city life very much.

    B. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.

    C. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.

    D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.

    4.The author wrote the passage to __________.

    A. show the love for the moonlight.

    B. want to communicate longing for modern life.

    C. advise modern people to learn to live.

    D. express the feeling of returning to nature.
