    Dear Michelle,
    My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses. I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring home my friends because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and I study. I wish I could live in another family that is normal, but that will not be for another 5 years when I am 18 and legal. What am I supposed to do until then?
    Prisoner of a Crazy House
    Dear 7th Grade,
    I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you mature and get older.
    While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doing is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser.
    I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.
    In the meantime, get the best grades as possible and join clubs and after-school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit with your friends at their homes.
    Unfortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. Those kids often feel lonely and separate from the rest of their friends because of their parents’ terrible deeds.
    Yet, despite this, some of these very teens grow up to be just fine. They develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher of guidance advisor who makes all the difference!
    Do it, Miss Winning 13-year-old, and keep looking forward to your own fine future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how surprising you really are.
    Best luck!
    Michelle
    小题1:The kids asks for advice on how to _________.
    A．make her mother changeB．grow up in her present situation

    小题3: Michelle advises the girl to ___________.
    A．try talking to her motherB．get used to the habits of her mother
    C．stick to her attitude towards her motherD．improve her relationship with her mother

    A．Many parents act terriblyB．You’re not speaking for yourself
    C．Parents’ manners make little differenceD．Don’t worry too much about your problem

    小题1:B
    小题1:D
    小题1:C
    小题1:D

    小题1:根据What am I supposed to do until then?及上文描述可知他主要想知道如何在目前状况中成长。故选B。
    小题1:根据下文and keep looking forward to your own fine future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how surprising you really are.的鼓励性话语，可知选D，他让这个孩子振作起来。
    小题1:根据So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits 描述可知选C，坚持自己对母亲的态度。
    小题1:根据本段描述可知主要是不用太为他现在的问题担心，因为很多孩子都面临过这样的情况。故选D。

    请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
    Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered… Is it race? Income? Where you live? In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades.
    Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in people’s health is the amount of education they have.
    In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United states census. These counts of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.
    “We looked at life expectancy(预测寿命) at age 25,” Meara says.
    “How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you’ve reached aged 25 and you’ve gone on to at least some college…”
    Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25-year-old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.
    In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact.
    Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people have made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn’t changed for less educated people.
    Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.
    “I think it’s a reminder not to be satisfactory,” Meara says. “Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn’t always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think that’s something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”
    Meara points out that education can often determine income---people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.
    Meara says education is key. People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.

    You are walking down the street, minding your own business when you see a snowball. No big deal, right? Except the snowball is as tall as you are. And weighs about a ton. Did we mention that it is June?
    That’s the experience thousand of Londoners had when they crossed paths with “ Snowball in Summer,” Goldsworthy makes sculpture （雕塑）from all sorts of things he finds outside – leaves, earth, and rocks, as well as ice and snow. He wanted to find out how busy people would react to an unexpected snowball melting in their midst.
    During the winter of 2008, he rolled 13 giant snowballs near his home in Scotland. He filled each one with a surprise in the center – such as berries, feathers, little stones or sheep’s wool – which would appear as the snow melted. The finished snowballs were stored in a deep freeze until summer, then transported to London in refrigerated trucks. At midnight on June 21, 2008, while the city slept, Goldsworthy and his helpers rolled their snowballs into place.
    People walking to work or school must have thought the sky was falling when they stumbled across snowballs the size of baby elephants. Some of them had never even seen snow in real life, and they couldn’t help touching them in great surprise. As the snow started to melt, things got even more interesting. The perfectly round snowballs took on different shapes as the stuff inside began to poke through. Two days later, most of Goldsworthy’s snowballs were gone, and their fillings scattered. But Londoners were left with a really good story about that odd summer day when the snowball came.
    小题1:What is really special about the snowballs is that ______________________.
    A．they lie in the street
    B．they are in the shape of baby elephants.
    C．they have berries, feathers, little stones and feathers in them.
    D．they appear in June.
    小题2: What was the purpose of Goldsworthy in making the snowballs?
    A．To find out people’s reactions to them
    B．To call up people’s memory of the cold winter.
    C．To show off his skills in sculpture.
    D．To let people experience the cold winter.
    小题3: Why did Goldsworthy and his helpers roll their snowballs into place at mid-night?
    A. They didn’t want to disturb other people.
    B. It was quite at that time.
    C. They wanted to avoid the traffic jam.
    D, They wanted to give people a surprise.

    Some people would go through anything just to achieve their dream. Kasia Siwosz is proof. For the final year student on the university women’s tennis team, the road to Berkeley, University of California was met with poor advice and misinformation from her home country and twounsuccessful stops along the way that fell short of expectations.
    Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (国际网球联会青少年赛).. Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. While most who grow up in the U.S. are naturally accustomed to the American tradition of collegiate (大学的) sports, such a custom is not as familiar in a country like Poland. “There’s no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic (学术的) study there. You can only do one, not both,” Siwosz said.
    Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
    When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer (转学), Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “I wasn’t happy at Baylor. The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
    After one year at Baylor, Siwosz’s luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to Lee, a former Berkeley student. Lee, who is a keen tennis player himself, met Siwosz four years ago in Texas. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”
    小题1:What does “two unsuccessful stops” (Paragraph 1) refer to?
    A．Poland and the U.S.
    B．Baylor and Berkeley.
    C．The community college and Baylor.
    D．The ITF Junior division and the Berkeley tennis team.
    小题2:Why did Siwosz want to leave her homeland for America?
    A．Poland had no culture of sports.
    B．Berkeley had always been her dream university.
    C．She wanted to play tennis and have a good education.
    D．She wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking.
    小题3: Why did she leave Baylor?
    A．The level of tennis there was not high.
    B．It was not suitable for international students.
    C．She couldn’t get along with her friends there.
    D．She was not satisfied with the education level there.
    小题4: What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．How Siwosz left Poland.
    B．How Siwosz realized her dream.
    C．How Siwosz became a top tennis player.
    D．How Siwosz transferred from Baylor to Berkeley.

    Every day millions of letters go from one country to another. Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan. Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa. On the letters are many different kinds of stamps，bought in different countries．
    The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible. It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and small packages（包裹）. It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates（费用）．
    One hundred years ago，international mail did not move so smoothly. One country did not always accept another country’s letters. Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries. Letters travelled by many different routes（路线）．Some were lost along the way．
    Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage. The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest．
    The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the questions of international mail. In 1974，men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union．Today，more than 120 nations belong to this union. From its office in Switzerland，the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world．
    小题1:From the story we can infer that ＿＿＿＿＿＿．
    A．mail is important to all countries
