Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.
Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.”
Blue interrupted, “You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life.”
Yellow chuckled(咯咯地笑). “The sun is yellow, as well as the moon and the stars. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile.”
Red could bear it no longer. “I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood-life's blood! I am the color of danger and bravery. I bring fire into the blood. I am the color of passion and love.”
Purple stood at his full height. “I am the color of royalty(皇室) and power. I am the sign of authority (权力) and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”
Finally Indigo(靛蓝) spoke with determination, “Think of me and I am the color of silence. I represent thought and reflection. You need me for balance and contrast(对比), for prayer and inner peace.”
The colors went on boasting(吹嘘), each showing off his or her own advantages. Suddenly there came a flash of bright lightening. Thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down. The colors were scared to death.
In the midst of the quarrelling, rain began to speak, “You foolish colors. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me.”
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.
From then on, when it rains, colors will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color.
Whenever a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.
（1）Why did the colors quarrel?
A.Because they often fought for some reasons.

（3）We can know that ________.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Traditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions (情感) and encourage them to take part in activities such as art, dance and music.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to take part in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
The findings of the study go against accepted wisdom that boys do better when taught together with girls.
Tony Little, head master of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor (量身定做) lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine（女性的） and prefer the modern genre （类型） in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.
（1）The author believes that a single-sex school would __________.
A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"
B.help boys to be more competitive in schools.
C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D.naturally strengthen boys' traditional image of a man
（2）It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.
A.behave more responsibly.
B.grow up more healthily.
C.perform relatively better.
D.receive a better education.
（3）According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.
A.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B.boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D.teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit
（4）What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 8 mean?
A.lovely
B.sharp
C.serious
D.dull

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s nice being nice to others; it’s also great to give people a hand. However, if you start to hurt yourself by doing so, then this is not so healthy. 1 If you fear that you might fall into this category, the following tips will help you to stand up for yourself and regain your self-confidence.
2
Although you may often stay silent if something is wrong or bothers you, it is better to speak your mind right away. You don’t have to be rude, but you do have to be firm and direct. Don’t do things for others if you don’t really want to. Speak up, and soon others will be seeing you in a whole new light.
Start small.
3 This will allow you to practice being brave and self-confident. Tell a person who has cut in line in front of you to move to the back of the line, or tell a salesperson to do that. Before long, you will be confident enough to stand up to your friends and family members.
Judge well.
When dealing with others, you have to exercise good judgment. 4 If a colleague isn’t doing his part, you should rightfully demand that he start doing so. However, if a taxi cuts you off in traffic, just let it go.
5 Rome wasn’t built in a day. If you want to get back again after having been a pushover(耳软心活的人), it’s best to take one step at a time.
A. Express yourself.
B. Regain your confidence.
C. Startspan> by speaking up for yourself with strangers.
D. Everyone has the right to live without being judged.
E. If you slip back into the pushover mode every once in a while, don’t blame yourself.
F. Sadly, some people are so easily pushed around that they come to be seen as pushovers.
G. It’s one thing to be confident, but quite another to forcefully say no to an unreasonable request.

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
Lake Titicaca, a famous lake in South America, lies on the border between Bolivia and Peru. But the lives of the ancient people, who once lived around the lake and culture was thought to be highly developed, have long remained a secret. Recently, however, scientists (take) part in an exploration project at the lake have found 1000-year-old temple beneath the water.
Divers from the study group have discovered a building that scientists think is the remains of a temple (build) by the people who once lived beside the lake. The project leaders hope to begin raising (value) materials from the site later this week bad weather forces a change in their plans.
"The scientists have not yet had the chance to study the materials (careful)," said the project (found), John Aubi. "But some have put forward the idea that the remains date from this period because they are similar those found elsewhere."
So far, they (make) more than 200 dives into water 30 metres deep. During these dives, they have been recording the ancient remains on film. There will be a meeting, starting later this year to review the film.

That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I've struggled with confidence all my life. I still do. And in way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway confidence., the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.
