     There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product, the other as a process. People have
generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified
and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns
a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
     By contrast(对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a
journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but
the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and
unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends;there are always new ways to
experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
     In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the
unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a
new way of being is necessary for our ability togrow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so,
we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and
indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to
adapt?(适应)change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to
take a more passive role or not try at all.
     These feelings of insecurity(不安全)and self?doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to
change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a
shell of our own making.

1. Growth 2. measured 3. difficult 4. get a rise 5. their grades
6. caution7. ways 8. challenges 9. risks 10. unfamiliar

     Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during
World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January
1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.
     In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought (干旱). The State Government introduced one hour of daylight
saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the
Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian
Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South
Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so
until 1989.
    Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics
or festivals (节日). For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended (延长) daylight saving by an extra month while
South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving
plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
     The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many
other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers
in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the
broadcasters of national radio and television.

1. Daylight Saving Time was introduced in Tasmania _____.

A. to stop the drought in 1967
B. to support government officials
C. to pass a special law in the state
D. to save water and electricity

2. According to the text, which state was the last to use DST?

A. Victoria.
B. Queensland.
C. South Australia.
D. New South Wales.

3. What can we learn about DST in some Australian states?

A. It doesn't have fixed dates.
B. It is not used in festivals.
C. Its plan was changed in 2000.
D. It lasts for two weeks.

4. What do we know about the use of DST from the last paragraph?

A. There exist some undesirable effects.
B. It helps little to save energy.
C. It brings about longer working days.
D. Radio and TV programs become different.

     Many people watched the lift-off of the space shuttle Columbia on March 21, 1982. But none
watched more closely than eighteen-year-old Ted, as Ted's insects were on board the shuttle.
     The Shuttle Student Involvement Program invited students to make a science experiment. The
experiment would be done by astronauts on the space shuttle.
     Ted had always been interested in space and flight. Insect flight especially interested him. Ted
noticed that insects need gravity to take off and land. They need gravity to fly in a straight line. But
in space, there is no gravity. Could insects fly in zero gravity? That is what Ted wanted to find out.
     Ted made an experiment called "Insect in Flight Motion Study". He entered his experiment and
soon news came that it was a winner.
     A large team of scientists and engineers helped Ted get his experiment ready to fly. There were
many questions to be answered first. What kind of insects would Ted use in his experiment? The
insects would have to be strong enough to live on the shuttle for nine days without much food. What
kind of container would hold the insects? Would the insects die during the shuttle flight?
     After months of hard work, the "insectronauts" were chosen. A group of moths, flies, and
honeybees were put into a special box and put onto the space shuttle. When Columbia flew into
space, it was carrying insect passengers.
     On March 24, astronauts Gordon Fullerton and Jack Lousma took out the box that held the
insects. They began filming the insects with a special video camera.
When the space shuttle landed Ted was able to watch the video film of insects. Just as he thought,
most of the insects did have trouble flying in zero gravity. The flies did well. But the moths' flight
seemed "uncontrolled". They would often just hang in the air. The bees had the most trouble. They
couldn't fly at all! The film showed bees spinning around in all directions. Others were just floating
about in the box.
     Ted learned the answer to his question about insects' flight in zero gravity. But he also learned
a lot more. He learned about the hard work needed in making a successful experiment.

1.What does the underlined sentence "it was a winner" mean?

A. Ted could fly in space.
B. Ted won a prize.
C. Ted's experiment was accepted.
D. Ted won in a race.

2. What did Ted want to find out?

A. Whether the insects could fly in space.
B. Whether the insects could fly in a straight line.
C. Whether the insects could land after flying for a while.
D. Whether the insects could take off after resting for a while.

3. Of the three kinds of insects sent into space, which one flew worst in zero gravity?

A. The flies.
B. The honeybees.
C. The insects.
D. The moths.

4. Who did the experiment?

A. Ted himself.
B. Ted's friend.
C. A large team of scientists and engineers.
D. Two astronauts on the space shuttle.

5. How did Ted learn the answer to his question about insects' flight in zero gravity?

A. By asking the scientists and engineers.
B. By studying a book written by the astronauts.
C. By going into space and watching the insects' flight himself.
D. By watching the video film made by the astronauts.

     Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run
away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can
defend (保护) themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
     Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant
have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more
spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to
reach.
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some
grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.
     Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an
unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the
caterpillar.
    Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance,
has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液) A single experience with
this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.

1. To defend themselves, oak trees use________.

A. chemical means
B. physical means
C. bitter chemicals
D. sandy materials

2. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?

A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.

3. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Plants and Animals
B. How Plants Defend Themselves
C. Attacks and Defenses
D. How Animals Eat Plant Leaves

     We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one
place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more
easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
     When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth
in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the
migration of the fish, which is called "salmon". This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to
salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives
birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when
they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the
seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
     Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the
season of bad weather arrives, the lobster get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the
ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.
     So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other
times we don't. Maybe living things just like travel.

1. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _____.

A. find food more easily
B. enjoy warmer weather
C. give birth
D. find beautiful places

2. The mice in northern Europe move when _____.

A. they need fresh water
B. the weather is bad
C. the place gets too crowded
D. they haven't enough food

3. This passage is mainly about _____.

A. why animals move from one place to another
B. how animals can find food easily
C. new discoveries of animals traveling
D. some problems with traveling

     When people advise your children to"get an education", they tell you only half the truth. What they
really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.
      Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name
happens to be George Washingon or Thomas Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary
school.
Get a college degree, if possible.With a BA, you should start to find a job. You have to put on the
brakes now. If you do go for a master's degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class
university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing (报酬递减率) begins to work.
Do you know, for example, that long-distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors?  Yes, each driver was paid $28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $27,930.
     A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or
chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not
very bright future. There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the  world
by far.
     If you became a PhD in English or history or political sience or languages or-in philosophy, you take
the risk of becoming over-educated for our national demands.
     Thousands of PhDs ars selling shoes, driving taxis, waiting on tables and filling out applications month
after month, and then may be taking a job in some high school or college with the pay much less than a
door-keeper makes.

1. According to the writer, society expects education to turn out people who will .

A. stop learning for a higher degree
B. take up a master's degree at once
C. go on studying in a first-class university

     One of the greatest killers in the Western world in heart disease. The death rate (率) from the disease
has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about
four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Mdical experts know that people can reduce their chances
of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying
more attention to reducing stress (压力) in their work.
     However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the
disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart
disease. Instead of supporting such programs,however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums
of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on
treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten
to fifteen years. In this time,modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques.
Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky (有风险的) a few years ago are now
performed every day in U.S.hospitals. The result had been a huge increase in heart surgery.
     Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out
that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts
interest and money away from the question of prevention.Second, it causes the costs of general hospital
care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they
must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just
those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are
encouraged to perform surgery-even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary-because the
equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was
often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example,
only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However,more than 100,000 of these
operations are performed in the United States every year.

1. What effect has modern technology had on medicine?

A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.
B. It has helped save the lives of most patients
C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries
D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease

2. "To do this" (in Paragraph 3)means _____.

A. to help patients recover
B. to increase the number of heart surgeries
C. to get back the money spent on the equipment
D. to buy new equipment for the treatment to heart disease

3. The author would agree that _____.

A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease
B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions
C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before
D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease

4. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Greatest Killer in the West
B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent
C. Modern Technology and Heart Surgery
D. Heart Surgery:Advantages and Disadvantages

     Millions of years ago dinosaurs lived on the earth. In the days of dinosaurs, the whole earth was warm
and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.
     We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and
strong. They could kill dinosaurs.
     There may be other reasons that we don't know about yet. Scientists are are trying to make more
