    Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

    Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

    Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

    Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

    1.What did the author’s classmates think about his report?

    A. interesting B. ridiculous.

    C. boring. D. puzzling.

    2.Why was the author confused about the task?

    A. He was unfamiliar with American history.

    B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.

    C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.

    D. He was new at the school.

    3.The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.

    A. annoyed B. ashamed

    C. ready D. eager

    4.In the end, the author turned things around _______.

    A. by redoing his task

    B. through his own efforts

    C. with the help of his grandfather

    D. under the guidance of his headmaster

    Ode to Joy(《欢乐颂》)，a 42-episodes TV series, is about five young women living on the 22nd floor of Shanghai’s “Ode to Joy” high-rise community. They become friends while pursuing love and career advancement. Since its appearance on April 18, Ode to Joy has been praised for its realistic description of the hidden struggles of city life. “The audience can relate to the characters since their experiences can be traced back to real life too，” commented the Dahe Daily. “Even better, female audiences can find themselves in one or two of the characters because the characters embody feminine archetypes (原型）found throughout the society.”But the idea of following a group of women as they lead a city life is hardly a pioneering concept. In many ways, Ode to Joy resembles American TV series like Sex and the City (1998-2004) and Desperate Housewives (2004-2012). These two series were praised for their feminist themes, but they also employed well-known female archetypes to illustrate the range of dilemmas women face. Deborah A. Macey, a communications professor at Saint Louis University in the US, divides these archetypes up into four ways: the iron maiden, the sex object, the child，and the mother. “The iron maiden is portrayed as masculine and career-oriented. The sex object owns her sexuality and genuinely loves her body. The child archetype is naive, optimistic, and dim-witted. The mother archetype connects the characters in the series and serves as the dominant storyteller,” Macey said on the online media forum “In Media Res”.

    Sounds familiar? Yes, these features can be seen in the characters of Ode toJoy. Andy (Liu Tao), for instance, partly embodies the iron maiden role. She's super smart, rational and direct. She moves from the US to Shanghai and takes the position of CFO at a top Chinese company. Fan Shengmei (Jiang Xin) can be seen as the “mother” in the series. Despite the fact that she s in charge of her own family issues，she takes her friends under her wing and stands up for them. Qu Xiaoxiao (Wang ziwen), the sexy and beautiful girl born with silver spoon, perfectly illustrates what is bitter-sweet relationship between friends and lovers. With that being said. Ode to Joy doesn't lack creativity. It assigns the “child” role to two characters-the straightforward, naive Qiu Yingying (Yang Zi), and the good-tempered, hard-working Guan Ju'er (Qiao Xin).

    But this category of TV series has its risks. Having five main characters means the drama isn’t story-driven but character-driven. “It’s not something you often see in Chinese TV dramas，” Yuan Zidan, Ode to Joy’s screenwriter, told Changjiang Daily. “But we want to challenge the norms.”

    1.Which of the following is NOT the reason why the audiences like Ode to Joy?

    A. Many famous actors and actresses starred in Ode to Joy.

    B.Female audiencc can find themselves in its characters.

    C.The lives of the characters can be traced back to real life..

    D It describes the real hidden life of those who are struggling in big cities.

    2. According to Deborah A. Macey, Fan Shengmei in Ode to Joy is the_______________archetype.

    A. iron maiden B. child

    C. mother D. sex object

    3.What does the underlined word “embody” mean in Paragraph 1?

    A.illustrate B. classify C. indicate D. recognize

    4.What can we infer from the passage?

    A .Ode to Joy is the first TV series to show a group of women’s life in the city.

    B..Ode to Joy is not a traditional Chinese drama because it is character-driven.

    C. The characters in Ode to Joy arc the same with those in Sex and Cify and Desperate Housewives.

    D.Andy fully illustrates the iron maiden who is both masculine and career-oriented.

    When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

    Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

    This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stone for success.

    1.According to the passage, winners .

    A. blame themselves rather that others

    B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

    C. have responsible and able colleagues

    D. deal with problems rather than blame others

    2.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .

    A. improve B. accept C. avoid D. consider

    3.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .

    A. blame him for his lack of responsibility

    B. find a better way to handle the problem

    C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

    D. ask a more able colleague for help

    4.When problems occur, winners take them as

    A. excuses for their failures

    B. barriers to greater power

    C. chances for self-development

    D. challenges to their colleagues

    Howling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.

    One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together. Perhaps it’s something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behavior.

    Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm (重新确认) status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?

    What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.

    Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to happen in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence.

    1. What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and human’s singing in chorus?

    A. The act of calling each other.

    B. The sense of accomplishment.

    C. The act of hunting for something.

    D. The sense of belonging to a group.

    2. Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?

    A. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.

    B. Wolves separate from each other after howling.

    C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.

    D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.

    3.Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to______.

    A.show their ranks

    B. find their companions

    C. report the missing ones

    D. express their loneliness

    4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means_______.

    A. howling is a signal for hunting

    B. howling is a way of communication

    C. howling often happens in the morning

    D. howling spreads from one to another
