    Gardening can be a very relaxing hobby for many people and this wonderful experience is not just for adults. Children are interested in gardening as well, if given the chance to explore nature and science in this way. Gardening can bring joy to both children and their parents alike, especially when the experience is shared together.
    The time that is spent gardening together builds precious memories within their hearts and minds for years to come. When you are gardening with your children, try to give them their own special area. Keep their area in the center of the best soil and light, as you want to make sure of a successful gardening experience.
    Plastic tools easily break and are difficult to use in the dirt, so when you are gardening with your children, give them real tools to use if possible. Even offering to let them use your tools is a way to admit the worth of the work they are doing. It is also important to talk with your children about the whole process of gardening, from planting to the harvest. They need to understand how things work and the importance of what they are doing.
    Show off the children’s gardening work by taking friends and visitors for a walking tour through the garden and point out the children’s particular spot. When you give attention to the children’s work, this is a great motivation（动机） for children to continue wanting to be involved. Do not force children to take part when they are in a bad mood or if they are becoming bored. Instead, allow them to do something different, like building a scarecrow(稻草人)! This makes the gardening experience even more interesting. As you work together side by side with your children, you will encourage a love of the land in them, as well as create lasting memories of time spent with you.

    There are a great number of people in the world while few people are great.I think there is probably only one great person out of 10，000 at best，and most probably much less than that.
    The reason why there are only few of them is that most people do not pay the price of greatness.There are so many people who want to be great，why only very few of them actually pay the price? The answer to the question explains the difference between the almost 100% people who want to be great and the much less than 0.01% who actually be so.The reason is that the road to greatness is full of pains.
    Greatness requires sacrifices and there is no sacrifice without pain.The kind of sacrifices required for greatness is the ones that make the process continuously painful for long time.If you only want to be good it may be painful just every now and then，and many people can still handle it.But being great is a total difference.The pain is much deeper and it is continuous，so very few people can endure this kind of pain.Most people naturally choose things that bring pleasures to them.It's unnatural to choose pain over pleasure，let alone doing it continuously for long time.But that's what I believe is the secret to greatness: The secret to greatness is choosing pain over pleasures continuously for long time.
    小题1:What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
    A．To compare.　　　　　　　　　B．To list statistics.
    C．To lead up to the topic.D．To give information.
    小题2:If one person only wants to be good，what will he/she face?
    A．Occasional pains.B．Continual work.
    C．Constant pains.D．Various difficulties.
    小题3:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Pleasures mean greatness.
    B．Greatness equals sacrifices.
    C．What's greatness.
    D．Greatness lies in continuous pains.

    Happiness through Honorable Actions
    Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
    Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
    Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement. Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
    Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
    In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
    There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
    小题1: According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ______.
    A．self-respect B．financial rewards
    C．advertising abilityD．friendly relationship
    小题2:The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ______.
    A．lyingB．stealingC．cheatingD．advertising
    小题3:The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” means ______.
    A．offering advice to the clerk B．telling the truth to the clerk
    C．asking the clerk to be more attentiveD．reminding the clerk of the charged item
    小题4:How does the positive cycle work according to the author?

    When was the last time your family sat down together to have a dinner?
    The speed at which we live today no longer allows for slow eating habits. Most people work long hours. There is lots of fast food and eating out is now on the increase. Often, food is eaten in front of the television in silence, or a child eats alone in front of the computer.
    When I was a child, every evening around the same time, one of the children would be asked to set the table, and then we'd go and wash our hands: before the meal. This was the time of day when we would talk about our day at school. But now things have changed a lot.
    A family environment plays an important role for children in learning to communicate with others and understanding table manners, such as waiting for others to finish before leaving the table and not speaking with a mouth full of food. Parents’ likes and dislikes of a certain food will also influence a child's own likes and dislikes. Studies have shown that children who often eat with their families have better results at school than children who eat with their families less than twice a week.
    Regular meal times give children the chance to discuss their problems with family members. They can also learn to respect others around the table. Talking to your children over dinner is the best way of having their-trust. Children learn good eating habits from their parents at a very young age. Family meals are important. Prepare them for your children.
    小题1:Some families eat less together because __________.
    A．most children live in a school
    B．people are busy with their work
    C．table manners change a lot
    D．food in the restaurant is better
    小题2:Children who often eat with their families _________.
    A．turn out to do better in their studies
    B．prefer to share food with others
    C．show concerns about families
    D．are interested in cooking
    小题3:Which word can best describe the writer's attitude towards eating together with families?
    A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Worried.D．Grateful.
    小题4:Which would be the best title of the passage?
    A．Table manners of a familyB．The importance of meals
    C．Why should the family eat together?D．How to choose food for your family?

    Ever wonder how this season’s celebrations affect the environment? Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic:

    The holidays are a wonderful, cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents. But I’m not like most people. I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeer are, and more importantly, how I can calculate those impacts.
    Lately I’ve been particularly curious as to whether Santa’s old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.
    I should mention that, surprisingly, I was unable to find statistics specific to Santa’s magical flying reindeer, so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals. In other words, don’t complain to the government about the damage Santa is causing the environment based on this article.
    Santa’s yearly trip around the globe is 44,000km long, twice the average of a North American driver. If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip, then reindeer power only needs to push Santa’s sled forward. To complete the trip in 12 hours, I estimate they must travel at a speed of about 3100km/h. To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!!
    So the next question is: how much food is in 980 million calories? Well, if they’re eating corn, they’d need to eat 16,500 lbs each — or 1.6 acres of food. Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that we’ll leave for another calculation.
    We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are “letting out” some of that corn in the form of methane (甲烷，沼气). A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons. With methane causing 20 times the global warming damage of CO2, and the altitude increasing that damage by 1000% that another 20 times, we can put Santa’s round-trip emissions at 15,488 tons. This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally-friendly car would release on the same trip!
    Bad Santa.
    小题1:Which aspect does the writer NOT include in her analyses about reindeer’s influence on environment?
    A．Distance covered.B．Calories consumed.
    C．Tons of waste let out.D．Money spent on food.
    小题2: According to Paragraph 6, how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed 10 reindeer?
    A．1.6.B．16.C．12.8.D．128.
    小题3:Which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree with?
    A．Christmas celebrations are really a waste of money.
    B．Vegetarians are more likely to survive than meat-eaters.
    C．Raising animals has a negative influence on environment.
    D．The car industry does less harm to environment than farming.
    小题4:Which of the following words best describes the language style of the passage?
    A．Humourous and concerned.B．Cheerful and friendly.
    C．Academic and formal.D．Serious and boring.
    小题5:Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
    A．Is Santa driving clean and green?
    B．Santa, watch where you’re going!
    C．Santa Claus is coming to town!
    D．Let’s reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!

    1During the First World War, some Americans indirectly benefited because of the war. With two million white men fighting in Europe and no new immigrants entering the country, many jobs in the United States became available to blacks and women for the first time.
    2Both groups proved their ability to do any kind of job. Women became railway conductors, brick layers, and factory workers. Their presence in traditionally male workplace produced many problems. Men were annoyed by women’s higher productivity and willingness to work for lower pay. Working mothers were often criticized for leaving their families. But many women welcomed the responsibilities. “It was not until our men were called overseas,” said one woman bank executive, “that we make any real onslaught on the realm of finance, and became tellers, managers of departments, and junior and senior officers.”
    3Women who did not take jobs helped in the war effort in other ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance the war.
    4American manufacturers offered jobs to large numbers of black Americans for the first time as a result of the war. Most factories were located in the North. To take advantage of these new job opportunities, many black families moved from their homes in the South to the Northern cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit.
    5White Americans were of two minds about the role of black Americans in the war effort. On the one hand, black workers’ ability to learn new jobs quickly and do them well strengthened the home front, and the black men’s fighting ability helped the Allies win the war. However, many whites did not want to acknowledge that blacks were capable, effective workers. White soldiers returning from the war had no desire to compete for jobs with blacks on equal terms. At the same time, many blacks were not willing to a lesser role once the war had ended.
    小题1:Why could American women and backs find jobs during World War I?
    A．They were taken to serve the war.B．They had their equal right at that time.
    C．Workforce was in great need.D．They had better productivities.
    小题2:Which of the following is Untrue according to the above passage?
    A．Blacks women were not allowed to fight in World War I.
    B．All American women went to work during World War I.
    C．Northern cities applied more blacks during World War I.
    D．Women and blacks earned a lot during World War I.
    小题3:Which of the following is the main idea of the whole passage?
    A. Americans benefited a lot from World Ward I.
    B. World War I had strong effect on America.
    C. Some Americans benefited from World War I indirectly.
    D. U.S.A. women and blacks contributed much in World War I.
    小题4:Which of the following shows the right structures of the above passage?
    A．1→23→45B．1→2→3→4→5
    C．1→23→4→5D．123→4→5

    The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard. But in the rich world, children can       from a different kind of poverty — of the spirit.   , one Western country alone now sees 14, 000 attempted suicides ( 自杀 ) every year by children under 15, and one child      five needs psychiatric (心理上的) advice.
    There are many good things about       in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between      and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices.   , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbors working      and often shares in that work..
    A child       in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's       ：helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies -- rather than      playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets      playing with dolls.
    These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the      children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world,         , are provided with a watch as one of the      signs of growing up, so that they can      along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows …

    Wolves travel in groups, and they perform almost all the other activities of their lives in the company of fellow wolves. This is one of the most important facts that modern science have learned about wolves and one of the things that most clearly explain their way of life.
    The pack is usually a family group. It is made up of animals related to each other by blood. The centre of a pack is a pair of wolves----an adult male and female that have produced young. The other members of the pack are their offspring (后代): young wolves ranging in age from pups to two- and three-year-olds. Most packs have 6 or 7 members, although some may include as many as 15 wolves.
    Relationships among creatures that live close together in groups are often very complex, and this is true of the ties that connect the members of a wolf pack. Scientific studies of captive(被捕获的) wolves and wolf packs in the wild have shown that many complex rules of behavior seem to govern the way that the animals relate to each other.
    When wolf pups are born into a pack, one of the most important things they must learn is the “language” of the group, the method by which pack members keep in touch with each other, sharing information and communicating their feelings. Scientists have discovered that wolves have a very complex system of communication.
    The most famous wolf sound is, of course, the howl, and it is a very important part of wolf language.
    When people think about howling, they usually imagine a sad, lonely sound made by a wolf sitting all alone on a hilltop in the moonlight. However, this picture in most human beings’ mind is not completely true. Wolves howl at any time, not just at night, and they often howl together, not alone.
    Group or chorus howling is another means by which the members of a wolf reaffirm(重申) their ties with each other and their closeness as a group. One wolf----often the male leader----will point its nose at the sky, open its mouth, and start to howl. Immediately the other members of the pack rush to stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder, and join their voices to his. Each wolf howls on its own note so that a big chorus of slightly different sounds is produced.
    Chorus howling often takes place before a wolf pack goes out to hunt. At the end of a successful hunt, the pack may also celebrate with a group howl. While wolves are on the track of prey(猎物)，they are usually silent.
    There are occasions when a wolf will howl by itself. This may happen when an animal is separated from the pack. Pack members seem to recognize each other’s voices and will keep responding to the howl of their wandering relative until the group is reunited.
    Because howling is a sound that carries over a considerable distance, it is very useful in communications among separated members of a pack. Howling is also used when members of different packs have to get in touch with each other to pass on information about their locations and their purposes.
    小题1:What makes communication the most important part of wolves’ lives?
    A．Living in packsB．Hunting at night
    C．Occupying a large areaD．Finding fellows
    小题2:What most likely happens to young wolves after the age of four?
    A．They leave the pack and live alone.
    B．They leave the pack to form packs of their own.
    C．They continue to live as part of the pack.
    D．They take over the leadership from their parents.
    小题3:How many members do most wolf packs consist of?
    A．3—4B．4---5C．6---7D．10---15
    小题4:To what human activity could wolves’ “chorus howling” best be compared?
    A．A baby crying from hunger
    B．A family having an argument
    C．A group of people singing at a concert
    D．A sports team cheering before a game
    小题5:When will wolves howl according to the passage?
    A．Only during the night.B．When separated from the pack
    C．When there is moonlightD．While on their way to tracking prey

    When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones-the kind of modern, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines．But the US has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be incredibly         to tear them all down and         them with greener versions．
    An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses．And it would take an average of 65 years for the         carbon emissions (排放) from a(an) __    _ energy-efficient (节能) home to make up for the         lost by destroying an old one．
    So in the broadest sense, the greenest home is the one that has already been built．But at the same time,          half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering our          , offices and other buildings．"You can't deal with climate         without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust．
    With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the         energy-efficient．Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that         over time and let in more outside        .
         ,there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from       ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home．And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help         property owners from rising power        .
