    I learned about life from an ant farm.When I was seven years old, my family created one.First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive.Shortly after the chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels.I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do.After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs.With my mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants.
    One day a tragedy struck the ant farm.The pages of the diary, still wrinkled where tear drops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy.'I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, caving in all the tunnels.Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die.I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm.My mother reported that the ants were dying of "frustration." They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed.
    Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm.Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of teamwork.Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves.I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.Day in and day out, each labored at their task.The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key ingredients to success.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity （不幸、灾祸） is a natural part of life,and must be accepted.Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment.Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another.Giving up, I say, is not a choice.

    Many women write to me perplexed(困惑的)about why they can’t form close friendships. They try new approaches, put themselves in all the right places, see therapists, and read relevant self-help books. They consider themselves interesting, loyal, kind and friend-worthy people. But for reasons unknown to them, they have a tough time forming intimate relationships. Many admit to not having even one close friend.
    A recent study published in the Journal of personality and Social Psychology offers some clues as to how both nature (personality) and nurture (experience) impact our friendships. Researchers at the University of Virginia and University of Toronto, Mississauga studied more than 7,000 American adults between the ages of 20 and 75 over a period of ten years, looking at the number of times these adults moved during childhood. Their study, like prior ones, showed a link between residential mobility and adult well-being: The more times participants moved as children , the poorer the quality of their adult social relationships.
    But digging deeper, the researchers found that personality—specifically being introverted (内向的) or extroverted (外向的) — could either intensify of buffer (缓冲) the effect of moving to a new town or neighborhood during childhood. The negative impact of more moves during childhood was far greater for introverts compared to extroverts.
    “Moving a lot makes it difficult for people to maintain long-term close relationships,” stated Dr. Shigehiro Oishi, the first author of the study, in a press release from the American Psychological Association, “This might not be a serious problem for outgoing people who can make friends quickly and easily. Less outgoing people have a harder time making new friends.”
    Families often have to relocate — across town, across the country, or across the globe. Yet, in many cases, their kids and young adolescents haven’t yet built up a bank of friendships. So the conventional wisdom is to try to minimize moves for the sake of your child, whenever possible , and to move at the end of the academic year.

    1. 1.

      The passage is written mainly to        .

      1. A.
        offer advice to women on how to form intimate relationships .
      2. B.
        explain how nature and nurture impact our friendships.
      3. C.
        explain how moves during childhood affect children.
      4. D.
        tell us how to help children make friends.
    2. 2.

      Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?

      1. A.
        People who moved less during childhood have better social relationships.
      2. B.
        The more people moved during childhood, the more friends they have.
      3. C.
        The more people moved during childhood, the better they adjust to society.
      4. D.
        There is no link between residential mobility and adult well-being.
    3. 3.

      In order for children to maintain long-term close relationships , parents         .

      1. A.
        should not relocate their homes
      2. B.
        should relocate their homes within the town
      3. C.
        had better move at the end of school year
      4. D.
        had better move when their children couldn’t build up a bank of friendships
    4. 4.

      We learn from the fourth paragraph that moves during childhood         .

      1. A.
        have a bigger impact on an introverted person compared to extroverts.
      2. B.
        have no impact on an outgoing person
      3. C.
        are a big problem for both introverts and extroverts
      4. D.
        help children better adapt to new environment
    5. 5.

      We can infer from the passage that          .

      1. A.
        our friendships are mainly affected by our nurture
      2. B.
        we can move when children have made a lot of friends
      3. C.
        the impact of moves will disappear when one reaches adulthood
      4. D.
        there is some way to minimize the impact of moves during childhood on children

    The passengers on the subway who caught a glimpse of me may have thought I was strange. In particular a gentleman sitting opposite me was always staring at me, looking at the cheese bread on the floor in front of me and then staring back at me. A passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop, but the gentleman might not think so. “Next stop, St. Patrick Station” — my stop was quickly coming up. I had few minutes to either take the cheese bread, which nobody else was claiming, or left it there.
    In those few minutes I felt my pride getting in the way. “What would others on the subway think of me if I took the cheese bread? Would they think that I was poor and hungry? Would they think that I was stealing?” The ignorant thing to do was say “yes” to any of those self-imposed questions. Actually, they were just my own thoughts. Though I would leave the subway, walk a block to my office, get settled at my desk, and sit comfortably in my office for the whole day, I couldn’t get rid of the enormous sense of guilt and regret.
    My thoughts once pushed me towards pride and ignorance, but finally I had to admit I was wrong. This missing cheese bread could be a gift for a homeless person who suffered from cold and hunger. So why not overcome a little bit of my pride and pass along so much kindness?
    Just as the doors opened at my stop, I grabbed the cheese bread and left the subway. It felt awesome, but I didn’t care if people were looking at me or what they were thinking. Instead of going directly to my office as usual, I walked a few more blocks up to Queen’s park, where I often saw a homeless man sitting outside. I always wanted to give him something, but only today I walked toward him, who wrapped himself in a sleeping bag. I was full of satisfaction, and so did the homeless man, I thought.

    1. 1.

      The gentleman kept staring at the author because _______.

      1. A.
        he wanted to talk to the author
      2. B.
        the author appeared too nervous
      3. C.
        the author was going to get off
      4. D.
        he might think the author dropped the bread
    2. 2.

      The underlined word “self-imposed” in paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.

      1. A.
        easily obtained
      2. B.
        deliberately created
      3. C.
        strongly supported
      4. D.
        completely unaccepted
    3. 3.

      Why did the author grab the cheese bread when he got off?

      1. A.
        He noticed that no one was looking at him.
      2. B.
        He didn’t want to see the cheese bread to go to taste.
      3. C.
        He valued kindness more than his own pride.
      4. D.
        He remembered a homeless man at that very moment.

    A “lost tribe” that reached America from Australia may have been the first Native Americans, according to a new theory.
    If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it.
    On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals (土著人) in boats.
    To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said .
    Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people of the South Pacific Region.
    The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology (人类学) in Mexico City, have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand years before the arrival of people from the North. “We think there were several migration waves into the Americas at different times by different human groups,” Dr. Gonzales said. “The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains a most contentious topic in human evolution.”
    But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists, so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they were consistent(一致) with an Australian origin.

    1. 1.

      It is generally considered that the first Native Americans came from ________.

      1. A.
        North Asia
      2. B.
        Australia
      3. C.
        South Pacific
      4. D.
        South Asia
    2. 2.

      The skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico have ________.

      1. A.
        the broad skull shape
      2. B.
        the narrow skull shape
      3. C.
        different features of Aboriginal Australians
      4. D.
        the same features of Native Americans
    3. 3.

      The underlined “contentious” is similar in meaning to “________”.

      1. A.
        likely to cause great interest
      2. B.
        difficult to solve
      3. C.
        well-known to all
      4. D.
        likely to cause argument
    4. 4.

      Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

      1. A.
        Research on skulls can draw an exact conclusion.
      2. B.
        DNA tests have proved the fact that the first Native Americans came from Australian.
      3. C.
        Scientists are still not sure about the origin of the Native Americans.
      4. D.
        People began to enter America across the Bering Strait about 12,700 years ago.

    Greeks play a special game at Easter and it’s good fun! The rules of the game are as follows: 1.Everyone picks out a hard-boiled Waster Egg.2.Each player finds a partner.One person will be a “holder”, and the other will be a “tapper”.Holders should hold the egg with either the pointy end or the round end facing up.Tappers should hold the egg with that same end facing down.Tapping must be done pointy-end-to-pointy-end or round-end-to-round-end.3.With one good tap, the tapper tries to crack the holder’s egg.One player will end up with a cracked egg.4.Each player finds another partner and repeats steps 2 and 3.（After one end of the egg is cracked, players may continue to play using the uncracked end）.5.A player loses when both ends of his egg have been cracked.The winner is the person who still has an uncracked egg.6.Enjoy eating the eggs!
    Dye your Easter eggs.With an adult’s help, dye hard-boiled eggs red using food coloring or egg dye.For a nice sheen, use a paper towel to rub some oil on each egg.But don’t use too much oil---you wouldn’t want your egg to slide out of your hand when you play the egg-cracking game!
