A very close friend phoned me this weekend and asked a specific question about earning a few extra dollars each month online. For the benefit of keeping her name and details secret, I will call her Annie in this article. You see Annie suffers from a severe form of inaction syndrome; she is full of great ideas that never materialize into cash and she is having a problem finding the link that will achieve this.
Somebody once said that knowledge is power, yet we constantly find from readers of our website that they have knowledge to burn and still do not have power. Just look at the academics in universities all around the world; they have so much knowledge that they should control the wealth of the world. In truth they work for peanuts and very few of them ever achieve the power of independence. So knowledge certainly isn’t power. Therefore, we should change that “wise” statement to:“Power is the ability to use knowledge to your own benefit.”
That paragraph was inserted because Annie is a typical academic—strong on talk and plans but a little weaker on actions. In the period of a twenty-minute conversation, she expounded（阐述）a whole list of plans and ideas to make the extra few hundred dollars each month she was seeking. Any one of her many ideas was a potential money maker, but she had taken action on none of them. At one time she said, “I’m lost as to what to do next.”
That was my cue（提示）to get involved. “Take action,” I advised.
All that is wrong is that Annie was inactive without knowing it. In five minutes we drew up a plan of action and agreed to talk again in a month to review progress. When we finished the conversation, she sounded much happier and more motivated than when we started. Annie just needs a little nudge into beneficial action.
1.What’s the problem with Annie?
A. She has too many great ideas.
B. She never puts her ideas into practice.
C. She suffers from a strange illness.
D. She knows little about making money online.
2.What is the most important according to the author?
A. The ability to use one’s knowledge.
B. The ability to acquire knowledge.
C. A great deal of knowledge.
D. A good understanding of oneself.
3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Annie will succeed in later life.
B. Annie is going towards success.
C. Annie doesn’t realize her problems.
D. Annie talks too much in daily life.
4.The underlined word “nudge” in the last paragraph probably means________.
A. push B. advice C. training D. Power

Known as the "crazy nest lady", Katie Deline-Ray isn't quite sure how many mini handmade harbors she's knitted for injured baby animals. But she's certain it's a lot.
Deline-Ray is founder of Wildlife Rescue Nests. She designs and makes strong, soft nests, which she donates to wildlife rescue groups to use as little recovery nests for sick and injured animals. She also shares her patterns for others to copy.
Deline-Ray began making her nests in 2013, while she was recovering from a broken hand, and "spending too much time online."One thing led to another -- as happens on the internet -- and she discovered a woman who was making similar nests for U.S.-based wildlife groups, as an alternative to the hard boxes used to contain the animals these groups care for.
"I thought it was such a wonderful idea and went searching to see whether there was anything like it set up for our wildlife rescues in Canada," she says. "To my surprise there wasn’t. So I started contacting wildlife rescues and they agreed to try some out." Some modifications were made to already-existing patterns. And then, like a little bird taking its first flight, the nests went out into the world.
These days, Deline-Ray sends nests -- always for free -- to 60-some wildlife rescue groups, where injured birds and rabbits nestle inside the soft spaces while they are recovering.
Her future plans include making more nests, organizing new volunteer knitters and helping as many wildlife rescuers as possible take care of their animals in this charming way.
“I have no formal training with wildlife, just a great love for it.” Deline-Ray says. “I love making the nests because I have a great admiration for all the amazing work the wildlife rescues do. I feel like I have a part in giving back to wildlife in a small way.”
1.According to the passage, we can know Katie Deline-Ray ____.
A. admires what the wildlife rescues do
B. has designed the first nest pattern in the world
C. knits nests which are only intended for injured baby birds
D. keeps a record of the nests she has made over the years
2.What can we infer from the passage?
A. People must receive some training in order to help wildlife.
B. Katie Deline-Ray set up Wildlife Rescue Nests based in Canada.
C. Deline-Ray was once encouraged by an American woman.
D. The nests Deline-Ray made were sold all over the world.
3.What do you think of Katie Deline-Ray?
A. Modest. B. Caring. C. Cautious. D. Honest.
4.What can be the best title?
A. Useful Man-Made Nests.
B. A Wildlife Protection Program.
C.A Crazy Nest Lady
D. Birds Need More Rescue Nests.

It’s not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero. I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.
If you saw her, you wouldn’t think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts(选拔赛), but didn’t notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what.
Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest --- in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed--- but that didn’t stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.
After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero--- and my hero, too.
1.What did the writer think of Sandra Keierleber at the beginning?
A. Common B. Honest C. Pretty. D. Strong

Dear Betty,
My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.
Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?
Yours,
Knowing Nothing
Dear Knowing Nothing,
It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.
Yours,
Betty

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。
While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
·Try physical activity.
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing (释放) the pressure through exercise or physical activity. 1.
·Take care of yourself.
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into situations of stress. 2.
·Make time for yourself.
3. Don’t forget, play can be just as important as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
· 4.
Stress can result from disorganization (杂乱无章) and a feeling that “there’s so much to do ,and not enough time.” Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and, as a result , you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time. 5. Set out to do the most important tasks first.
A. Bear in mind the most important task.
B. Schedule time for both work and play.
C. Check off each task as it is completed.
D. Make a list of the things you need to do.
E. For example, you could take your job as your hobby.
F. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.
G. Running, walking, or playing tennis are just some of the activities you might try.
