When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark(标记) the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could — and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused(拒绝) to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
小题1:What does “Week by week her list grew” mean in the first paragraph?
A.As time went by, she discovered more shortcomings of mine.
B.She made a longer list of my shortcomings the next week.
C.She more and more disliked me as time went by.
D.She added one more shortcoming on the list every week.
小题2:What did the father ask her daughter to do when she complained(抱怨) about her “enemy”?
A.To pay no attention to her “enemy’s” gossiping.
B.To keep away from her “enemy” at school.
C.To write down what the girl said and accept the truth.
D.To do whatever she wanted to as usual.
小题3:Why did her father refuse to take the list her daughter made?
A.Because he wanted her daughter to perfect herself.
B.Because what the list said were not his shortcomings.
C.Because he thought the list didn’t belong to him.
D.Because he believed the list could be well kept by her.
小题4:Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A.Not an Enemy, But a Good Friend B.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C.My Father and I D.My Childhood

To see the world is one thing; to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business friend.
You can have someone to talk to
Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn’t you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.
                           
One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.
You can meet a good friend
Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.
You can have someone to watch out for you
When you’re in a foreign land, you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don’t you find a travel companion now!
Let’s find out how…
小题1:What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A.To introduce a travel company.
B.To encourage us to have a travel partner.
C.To explain how to be a perfect travel partner.

小题2:What’s the best title for the 3rd paragraph?
A.You can have someone to share the expenses with
B.You can know the local culture well
C.You can enjoy food with your partner
D.You can save money by bargaining together
小题3:Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion?
A.Traveling alone is not fun.
B.Buying souvenirs isn’t necessary.
C.Many people fall in love when traveling.
D.It’s better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.
小题4:Which of the following things is NOT mentioned?

A mum saved her daughter’s life with her newly learned first aid skills. Sonya Hall, 33, of Denny Avenue, Lancaster, had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three year old daughter Tilly.
Sonya, who also has son Emmen, six, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Children’s Centre in Lancaster. Then she was faced with every parent’s worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tilly’s life.
Sonya said: “Tilly was playing with her brother and they were fighting over a toy. Emmen won the fight. Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing. I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had learned the day before which were so fresh in my mind. I began doing mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions (胸外按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime.”
After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors came. Since then, Tilly has been diagnosed (诊断) with Reflex Anoxic Seizure (反射缺氧发作). Sonya said: “The seizure can happen when there’s any unexpected pain, fear or fright. It is just so lucky that the day before it happened, I had been practising first aid.”
The Empowering Parents First Aid course is run by Lancashire Adult Learning. Sonya said: “I am just so glad I did the course and learnt the first aid skills. I always feared I would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but luckily I had the knowledge and skills to deal with it.”

Friendship continues to remain central to our lives. Friends often affect our health and energy. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friends for support and sharing rather than just communicating with their relatives. We may have a very unclear understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us. There are certain things you do to help you make friends or at least help you get close to people whom you want to make friends with.
The first step to make friends with people is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are interested in him, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his name can help. To make the other person feel important, you need to be a good listener and to encourage him to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion, but do not make fun of him.
The second step is to develop trust in each other. You need to share opinions with this person and it is necessary for you to develop a habit of seeing things from his point of view. To become the best of friends, you must show concern and consideration for your friends’ desires and opinions.
The third and final step is to show your support and encouragement towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to be a friend matches with what that person can and wants to do in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be easy and successful.
小题1:What can we learn about friends and friendship?
A.Friendship is not important in our life.

小题3:We can infer from the passage that _____.
A.you can’t call your friend by his name

The name England comes from the words “Angle land”.The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries,after the Romans had left.The French name for England is Angleterre,which also means “Angle land”.There were also invasions (侵略) of southern England by Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany).English people are sometimes called Anglo­Saxons.The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland,Ireland,Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as Brittany).
England at first became a series of kingdoms,the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from West­Saxon).The names of many of the areas in England come from this period—for example,the name Sussex comes from South­Saxon,Essex from East­Saxon,and East Anglia from East­Angle.The Vikings then came from Denmark,and later the Normans invaded from France. Eventually England,Wales,Scotland and Northern Ireland were united,forming the United Kingdom.
The English language is the main language spoken throughout England,although there are many different accents.It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words,because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans,and used in religion and education until recent times),German (the language of the Angles,Saxons and Jutes),French(the language of the Normans),Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings).
There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language;mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire).
小题1:According to the first paragraph,which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The Romans were forced to leave England when the Jutes attacked there.
B.The Celts used to live in England but left for some reason.
C.Southern England once was attacked by Saxons and Jutes.
D.Angles and Saxons came from different parts of northern Germany.
小题2:In the history of England,________once was the strongest kingdom.
A.SussexB.Wessex
C.EssexD.East Anglia
小题3:What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A.English words are hard to spell and to pronounce.
B.England had been invaded by most of the countries of Europe.
C.The English language was influenced by several foreign languages.
D.It’s hard for people who have different English accents to communicate.
小题4:Why do many people in the UK speak a foreign language nowadays?
A.Because they are required to learn a foreign language at school.
B.Because they plan to live outside the UK in the future.
C.Because they have moved from other countries.
D.Because they have worked in other countries.

In-line skating(滚轴溜冰)is a fun sport that everyone can enjoy. Follow these safety tips to keep skating safe and fun.
Step 1: Gear up!
Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear(护具).
Step 2: Buckle up!
Strap(绑紧)on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly(紧贴)around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.

Step 3: Fall down!
You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you surprised that it doesn’t hurt?
Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.
Step 4: Stop!
Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.
The brake stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.
The T stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.
Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.
Step 5: Roll around!
Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.
小题1:According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?
A.Learn to fall and stop safely.
B.Find a class and skate fast.
C.Relax and have fun.
D.Buy expensive gear and skates.
小题2:In the step right after “Buckle up!” you should practice how to _____________.
A.skate fastB.brakeC.fall safelyD.put on gear
小题3:To begin a brake stop, you should let your right skate roll forward, bend your knees, and _________.
A.turn your foot
B.press your right heel down
C.put your wrists out in front
D.tighten your skates
小题4:How is the passage organized?
A.It tells stories about skating.
B.It gives descriptions of skates.
C.It uses a question-and-answer form.
D.It gives step-by-step instructions.
