【题目】 Empathy (同理心)is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.

What Is Empathy?— Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.

Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.

Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.

It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.

1Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?

A.Because people tend to center themselves.B.Because everyone lacks empathy.

C.Because empathy is a strange quality.D.Because it's better to give than to receive.

2Which situation can empathy be used in?

A.When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.

B.When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.

C.When a criminal is cheating a victim.

D.When a dancer is dancing to music.

3What does the underlined sentence "An empty jug cannot fill a cup" mean?

A.An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.

B.It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.

C.Adults should set an example to kids.

D.Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.

4What is the main topic of the passage?

A.How to train kids to have empathy.

B.How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.

C.How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.

D.Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.

【题目】 Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: Keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The idea behind it is simple — larger fish are probably older. If you keep the smaller young fish, they won’t be able to reproduce, so there will be fewer fish.

But fishing out the largest fish from a population may also have an unwanted effect: Over time, fewer adult fish get really big. If only the smaller fish reproduce, then future generations become smaller.

One scientist, Dr David Conover has spent the last decade studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule.

In his experiment, Conover used six groups of fish. For two groups, Conover followed the “keep the big ones” rule and took out the biggest fish. For two other groups, he removed only the small fish. For the last two groups, he removed fish at random (随意地).

After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. It showed that if only small fish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish will also tend to be small.

For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the big ones” groups for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he calculated it would take at least 12 years for the fish in those two groups to return to their original size.

In other words, it takes much more time to recover.

1The underlined word “it” (Paragraph 1) refers to “________”.

A.the activityB.the fish

C.the ruleD.the fisherman

2What’s the purpose of the “keep the big ones” rule?

A.It helps to protect fish numbers.

B.It helps to protect fish size.

C.It teaches people how to fish.

D.It helps people catch bigger fish.

3After the first five years of his experiment, Conover found the “keep the big ones” rule ______.

A.made no difference to fish size

B.made the fish smaller on average

C.made the fish bigger on average

D.made the fish reproduce more quickly

4What is the author’s intention in writing this article?

A.To encourage people to stop fishing.

B.To urge governments to forbid fishing.

C.To describe a scientific experiment about fishing.

D.To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.

【题目】January means it’s time for coats and gloves and cold weather. While many of us are preparing ourselves for the cold weeks ahead, in some cities winter is the “hottest” season of all because it’s the time for winter festivities.

Every year 2 million people visit the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan. This internationally well-known event began in 1950, when some local high-school students built six snow statues in Odori Park. Since then, the festival has grown to include lots of snow sculptures as well as a snow-sculpting contest that draws competitors from all over the world.

In December, Finland created its 13th annual Snow Village, which will remain open until April, if weather permits. Snow Village lies nearly 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. The village is designed by builders skilled in working with snow and ice. Visitors can take a tour of the village, eat in a restaurant made of ice or go dancing in the disco igloo(拱形圆顶小屋). They can also spend the night in a hotel made of snow. There’s even an ice chapel(小礼拜堂) for couples who want to get married in Snow Village.

Since 1935, the Fur Rendezvous has been held every February in Anchorage, Alaska, America’s most northern state. Among the festival’s many attractions is the World Championship Sled Dog Race, which draws sled dog teams from many countries. Dogs also take center stage in the Dog Weight Pull, in which dogs compete to see which one can pull the heaviest weight. The festival features sports like skiing, basketball, boxing and softball as well as the Grand Prix Auto Race in downtown Anchorage. True to the festival’s name, there’s also a fur auction(拍卖), where buyers buy real Alaskan furs. The first Fur Rendezvous lasted only three days. Now it’s a 10-day event that attracts thousands of visitors.

1What can we learn about the Sapporo Snow Festival from the second paragraph?

A. How it got started. B. How long it lasts.

C. Who is in charge of it. D. How much it costs to attend it.

2What happens at Snow Village?

A. Skating matches. B. Design contests.

C. Indoor weddings. D. Cooking competitions.

3Anyone who visits the Fur Rendezvous can .

A. buy what he wants B. play any sports he likes

C. attend a strength competition D. come across different sled dogs

4what do the three winter festivities mentioned in the text have in common?

A. They all last ten days. B. They are all held every year.
