“Ceci, wake up. It’s an earthquake!” That’s what Cecilia Wallace heard her mother shouting on the early morning of February 27th.
Cecilia is a 7th-grader. She, her parents and her brother, Sam, were in Chile’s capital city, Santiago, the day a big earthquake hit Chile. And like just about everyone else, they were shaken out of their sleep.
“It was so frightening,” Sam wrote. “The shaking was so huge that I will never go on a ride again.” Cecilia and Sam wrote about their earthquake experiences. Their reports were later posted on the website.
Cecilia, Sam and their parents were staying in an apartment on the 15th floor of a building. They were lucky. Their building stayed standing, because it was built to withstand earthquakes.
Not everyone was as lucky as the Wallace family. More than 800 people died. Many older buildings fell down during the earthquake.
The damage in Santiago wasn’t as bad as in other parts of Chile. So the supermarkets were open for business on the morning of the quake. But it wasn’t business as usual. “The supermarkets have been crazy with people rushing to buy their food for the next while,” Sam wrote.
Not everyone was able to get money to buy food that morning. So Cecilia and Sam made food bags to distribute to people who were begging outside the supermarket. “We gave some to a kid of my age. I made sure he got cookies and bread.” Sam and Cecilia’s mother wrote that the kids also collected money for the Red Cross.
It’s certainly an experience Cecilia, Sam and their parents will never forget. Thankfully, they lived to tell their stories.
1.What was Cecilia doing when the earthquake happened?
A．Walking in the street.
B．Having class at school.
C．Sleeping in bed.
D．Playing with Sam in a park.
2.The underlined word “distribute” probably means “_____”.
A．give outB．throw awayC．give upD．sell out
3.Why were Cecilia and her family able to survive the earthquake?
A．Because they escaped before their building fell down.
B．Because they managed to escape from the fallen building.
C．Because they were helped out of the fallen building by others.
D．Because the building they were living in was strong enough.
4.From the text we can see Cecilia is a _____ girl.
A．humorousB．kind-heartedC．braveD．selfish
5.How can we know more about Cecilia’s experiences in the earthquake?
A．By watching TV.
B．By getting online.
C．By listening to the radio.
D．By reading newspapers.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
Depression is much higher amongst female bosses than male bosses，a new US survey finds.Dr Tetyana Pudrovska，the study's first author，explained：“Women with job authority－the ability to hire，fire，and influence pay－have greatly more symptoms of depression than women without this power.But men with job authority have fewer symptoms of depression than men without such power.”
The study followed 1，500 middle-aged women and 1，300 middle-aged men who all graduated from high schools in Wisconsin.The men and women were surveyed in 1993 and 2004 to look at the connection between how much authority they had at work and symptoms of depression.
The results showed that amongst men and women with lower levels of authority at work，women had slightly higher levels of depression.This is normal since overall women suffer from depression slightly more than men.Amongst men and women with higher levels of authority at work，however，it was women who had many more symptoms of depression than men.Men in authority actually had a 10% lower risk of depression，while authority increased the risk of women having depressive symptoms by 9%.
Dr Pudrovska continued：“What shocked us is that women with job authority in our study are advantaged in terms of most characteristics that are strong signs of positive mental health.These women have more education，higher incomes，better jobs，and higher levels of job satisfaction than women without job authority.Yet，they have worse mental health than lower－status(地位)women.”
The cause of this discrepancy is not known，but Dr Pudrovska says：“Years of social science research suggests that women in authority positions deal with interpersonal anxiety，negative social interactions，negative stereotypes，prejudice，social isolation(社会孤立)，as well as resistance(抵抗)from colleagues.Women in authority positions are viewed as lacking in the assertiveness(果断)and confidence of strong leaders.But when these women display such characteristics，they are judged negatively for being unfeminine(不像女性的)．This causes mental stress.”
Men，on the other hand，do not have to face these kinds of negative stereotypes about their abilities.
1.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Female bosses get less stress from work than male bosses.
B．Female bosses get the same stress from work as male bosses.
C．Female bosses get the same stress from work as employees.
D．Female bosses get more stress from work than male bosses.
2.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A．The higher levels of authority，the fewer women suffer depression.
B．The higher levels of authority，the more women suffer depression.
C．The lower levels of authority，the more men suffer depression.
D．The lower levels of authority，the more women suffer depression.
3.What did Dr Pudrovska think of the results?
A．Exciting. B．Surprising.
C．Disappointing. D．Inspiring.
4.What does the underlined word“discrepancy”in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Difference. B．Excellence.
C．Preference. D．Reference.

Self-confidence, motivation, support and knowledge are the main factors determining if one succeeds or fails. Each of these factors influences our chances of success in a different way. 1..
Lack of self-confidence is probably the most dreadful enemy of success. 2. Even the most capable person is sure to fail with such an attitude. If it is your case too, improving your self-confidence is a must.
Motivation is equally as important as self-confidence. 3. You may even not try to achieve the goal that lies before you. It is important to find out what is the best motivation for you. If you have to do something that does not motivate you, just treat yourself with a reward after you succeed. Of course, this reward should consist of something that will motivate you to pursue(追求) a success.
4. While it is not a must for succeeding in your goals, a lack of support can often lead to failure. It is also true that some people cannot succeed without a proper support from their surroundings. These people often lose their motivation or worse, their self-confidence. If you know such a person, supporting him or her is a right thing to do. Also surround yourself with the right people. You will see the results soon.
Pursuing realistic goals is also important for a success. You should always make sure that your goals are achievable. 5. Unrealistic goals usually lead to a fast failure and also make many people embarrassed.
A. As we know, many people try but do not succeed.
B. Consider all your knowledge and skills when setting up a goal.
C. Motivation is something in yourself that can push you forwards.
D. There are several main reasons why some people cannot succeed.
E. Supportive family and collective workplace are also very important.
F. Without it, you will not push yourself towards a better performance.
G. Thinking you are not good enough to achieve your goals is the same as deciding that you will not succeed.
