    Justin’s bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated（瘪掉的）basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.
    “What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?” his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.”
    When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack--a smaller version of his bedroom--a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.
    Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.
    “Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?” he asked. “I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if I’m late on the first day it’ll make me look bad for the rest of the year.” Kenny looked really worried.
    “Relax,” Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote.”
    He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.
    “That’s amazing!” Kenny said. “I owe you one.” And he dashed off to open his locker.
    It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.”
    小题1:Why is Justin’s room such a mess?
    A．He always forgets to clean it.B．He shares the room with his brother.
    C．He has no time to clean it.D．He never throws anything away.
    小题2:In what way is Justin’s backpack a smaller version of his bedroom?
    A．He uses it as a place to store objects.
    B．He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment.
    C．His parents tell him to clean it all the time.
    D．He’s had it for as long as he can remember.
    小题3:The underlined phrase "pleaded with" means
    A．ignoredB．askedC．pushedD．Ordered
    小题4:How does Kenny feel toward Justin?
    A．Annoyed.B．Disinterested.C．Grateful.D．Angry.

    D
    Men usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can have his own way all the time. A man cannot live in society without considering the interests(利益) of others as well as his own interests. “Society” means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust(不公平) or harmful to others. One man’s decisions may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friend’s house. He sets out, driving at full speed like a competitor in a motor race. There are other vehicles and also pedestrians (行人) on the road. Suddenly there is a crash. There are screams and confusion. One careless motorist has struck another car. The collision(碰撞) has injured two of the passengers and killed the third. Too many road accidents happen through the thoughtlessness of selfish drivers.
    We have governments, the police and the law courts to prevent or to punish such criminal acts. But in addition, all men ought to observe certain rules of conduct. Every man ought to behave with consideration for other men. He ought not to steal, cheat, or destroy the property(财产) of others. There is no place of this sort of behavior in a civilized society.
    1. A man cannot have his own way all the time because________.
    A. he may have no interest in other people
    B. he has to share the same interest with the people in the same society

    3. The purpose of this passage is to_________.
    A. tell people how to behave in society
    B. illustrate the importance of laws
    C. teach people how to prevent criminal acts
    D. persuade people not to make their own decisions
    4. It is implied that there will be fewer road accidents if_______.
    A. the drivers are more considerate(体贴的) of other people
    B. there are fewer cars or walkers in the street

    Compared to adults, children seem to be moving constantly．So it's no surprise that most parents who are quizzed about their child's physical activity level describe their children as fairly active．But a new study of nearly 2,000 British school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount of physical activity their children are really getting．
    The researchers equipped 1,892 British school children, ages 9 and 10, with accelerometers that measure all physical activity during a given time period．The research, known as the Speedy study collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in Norfolk, England, between April and July 2007．
    A child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity．Although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity, a sizable minority of children were not．Overall, 39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than an hour of physical activity each day．
    But if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their child's activity level, the vast majority—80 percent—described their children as fairly or very physically active, according to the findings published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine．Interestingly, the children themselves had more awareness about their lack of physical activity．Overall, 40 percent of children overestimated their physical activity．
    But it wasn't the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical activity levels．The parents who were most out of touch about their child's physical fitness were more likely to have children who were slim．Parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical activity．The researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical activity for children even if the child is not overweight．
    "Parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately active," the study authors reported．"Increasing awareness regarding health benefits of physical activity beyond weight control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change．"
    69．According to the Speedy study, what kind of children can be judged physically inactive?
    A．Slim children．
    B．Children with less than an hour a day of physical activity．
    C．Overweight children．
    D．Children out of touch with their parents for a long time．
    70．What does the writer probably mean by saying "a sizable minority of children were not" in Paragraph 3?
    A．The amount of children's physical activity is far from the writer's satisfaction．
    B．Only a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity．
    C．A small number of children didn't overestimate their physical activity．
    D．The minority of children were not studied at all．
    71．The passage is intended to ____．
    A．encourage parents to fairly judge their child's physical activity levels
    B．persuade parents to keep an eye on their children's weight
    C．urge children to wear accelerometers during exercise
    D．advise parents to keep in touch with their children

       CHICAGO ---Call it a reward, or just “bribery(贿赂)”.
    Whichever it is, many parents today readily admit to buying off their children, who get goodies(好东西) for anything from behaving in a restaurant to sleeping all night in their own beds.
    That’s what worries parenting experts.
    “I think that reward systems have a time and a place and work really well in certain situations,” says Marcy Safyer, director of the Adelphi University Institute for Parenting.
    “But what often gets lost for people is being able to figure out how to communicate to their kids that doing the thing is rewarding enough,” Safyer says.
    Parents and experts alike agree that the dynamic(动力) is partly a reflection of the world we live in. It’s unrealistic to think a parent wouldn’t reward their children with material things sometimes, says Robin Lanzi, a clinical psychologist and mother of four who’s the research director at the Center on Health and Education at Georgetown University.
    “But you want to make sure that they match the behavior, so it’s not something huge for something small,” Lanzi says.
    She recalls hearing about a father who offered his child a Nintendo Wii game system for scoring a couple goals in a soccer game.
    Elizabeth Powell, a mother of two young daughters in Austin, Texas, knows what she means.
    “You want to raise them in a way that they’re respectful and appreciate things,” Powell says of her children. “But sometimes, you wonder now if kids appreciate even a new pair of shoes. ”
    小题1:Parenting experts are worried that ____ .
    A．today’s children are fed up with material things
    B．parents are rewarding their kids improperly
    C．today’s children are more and more demanding(苛求的)
    D．there is lack of communication between parents and children
    小题2:What Safyer says suggests that ____ .
    A．reward systems are quite limited in developing abilities
    B．reward systems work well regardless of（不管） time and place
    C．reward systems are still not made full use of to develop abilities
    D．reward systems are often used at the wrong time and place
    小题3:What can we learn from what Robin Lanzi says?
    A．She holds a different opinion from other parenting experts.
    B．She thinks children can’t behave well without being rewarded.
    C．She holds a similar belief to Safyer and gives further explanation.
    D．She doesn’t believe in rewarding children for good behavior.
    小题4:The father who offered his child a Nintendo Wii game system can be regarded as
    _____.
    A．over-rewarding his child
    B．giving his child proper reward
    C．respecting and appreciating his child
    D．giving something small for something huge

    Everyone likes to feel that he or she is special.
    Unfortunately, many of us grow up believing that we’re not special at all. We wish that we could be better at sports or more attractive. We wish we had nicer clothes or more money. Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz (《绿野仙踪》), we believe we’re not good enough just as we are. In the movie, the Scarecrow wishes that he had a brain. The Tin Man wishes he had a heart, and the Lion wants courage. In the end, each of them realizes that he already has what he needs.
    Most parents want us to be the best we can be. They sometimes try to encourage us to do better by comparing us to others. They mean well, but the message we often get is that we’re not good enough. We begin to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than someone else, but we are often disappointed. There will always be someone out there who is better than we are at something. There are plenty of people around who may not be as smart as we are but who are better at sports. Or they may not be as good-looking, but they have more money. It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time.
    Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, we all want what we believe will make us better people. What we don’t realize is that often we already have inside us the very things that we seek. Parents sometimes forget to tell us that we are special, that we are good enough just as we are. Maybe no one told them that when they were growing up, or maybe they just forgot. Either way, it’s up to us to remind them from time to time that each of us, in our own way, is special. What we are ... is enough.
    56. This passage is most likely written by a ______.
    A. teenager     B. parent C. teacher       D. coach
    57. According to the author, it seems improper for parents to ______.
    A. compare their children with others now and then
    B. give no pressure to their children 
    C. remind their children frequently they are special
    D. praise their children too much
    58. By discussing the characters in The Wizard of Oz, the author mainly wants to show ______.
    A. we are not good enough just as we are
    B. we already have inside us what we want
    C. it is impossible for us to be better than others
    D. there is always someone who is better than us
    59. What does the author of this passage believe?
    A. Not everyone can be special.                 
    B. Smart people are more special than others.
    C. The richer you are, the better you are.           
    D. We are all good enough just the way we are.

    People with bigger brains tend to score higher on standardized tests of intelligence, according to new study findings.
    However, Dr. Michael A.McDaniel emphasized that these findings represent a general trend, and people with small heads should not automatically believe they are less intelligent. For instance, Albert Einstein’s brain was “ not particularly large,” McDaniel noted “ There’s some relationship between brain size and intelligence on average, but there’s plenty of room for exceptions,” he said.
    Interest in the relationship between brain size and intelligence grew in the 1830s, when German anantomist(解剖学家)Frederick Tidemann wrote that he believed there was “ a natural connection between the size of the brain and the mental energy displayed by the individual man.” Since that statement, scientists have conducted numerous studies to determine if Tidemann’s idea was , in fact, correct. Most studies have investigated the link between head size and intelligence .More recently, however, researchers have published additional studies on intelligence and brain size, measure using MRI scans.
    For his study, McDaniel analyzed more than 20 studies that investigated the relationship between brain size and intelligence in a total of 1,530 people. The studies showed that on average, people with larger brain volume tended to be more intelligent. The relationship was stronger in women that men, and adults than children ,McDaniel noted.
    In an interview, McDaniel noted that he’s not sure why the relationship was stronger for adults and women. Previous research has shown that women, on average, tend to have smaller brains that men, but score just as well--- if not higher--- in tests of intelligence he said.
    McDaniel insisted that the relationship between brain size and intelligence is not a “perfect” one. “One can certainly find lots of examples of smaller-brained people who are highly intelligent,” he said” But , on average, the relationship holds.”
    73．What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A．The success of using MRI scans for studies on man’s intelligence.
    B．On average bigger brains mean higher IQ.
    C．The importance of our brain volume.
    D．Dr. Michael succeeded in his studies on man’s intelligence.
    74．By mentioning Albert Einstein, the writer wanted to show ___.
    A．what Albert Einstein achieved had nothing to do with his brain size
    B．probably the studies on man’s intelligence are not worth believing
    C．why hard working is more important than intelligence.
    D．the results of these studies are not true for everyone
    75．The underlined word “investigated “ could be replaced by ____.
    A．worked our   B．guessed        C．study    D．imagined
