    We have been driving in fog all morning, but the fog is lifting now. The little seaside villages are 36 , one by one. "There is my grandmother's house," I say, 37 across the bay to a shabby old house.
    I am in Nova Scotia on a pilgrimage (朝圣) with Lise, my granddaughter, seeking roots for her, retracing (追溯) 38 memory for me. Lise was one of the mobile children, 39 from house to house in childhood. She longs for a sense of 40 , and so we have come to Nova Scotia where my husband and I were born and where our ancestors 41 for 200 years.
    We soon 42 by the house and I tell her what it was like here, the memories 43 back, swift as the tide (潮水).
    Suddenly, I long to walk again in the 44 where I was once so gloriously a child. It still 45 a member of the family, but has not been lived in for a while. We cannot go into the house, but I can still walk 46 the rooms in memory. Here, my mother 47 in her bedroom window and wrote in her diary. I can still see the enthusiastic family 48 into and out of the house. I could never have enough of being 49 them. However, that was long after those childhood days. Lise 50 attentively as I talk and then says, " So this is where I 51 ; where I belong. "
    She has 52 her roots. To know where I come from is one of the great longings of the human 53 To be rooted is "to have an origin". We need 54 origin. Looking backward, we discover what is unique in us; learn the 55 of "I". We must all go home again—in reality or memory.

    Sub-Saharan Africa has the world’s highest hunger rate. But according to a new report, African farmers also have ideas that could help the world fight hunger and poverty. Danielle Nierenberg from the Worldwatch Institute in Washington spent a year visiting twenty-five countries south of the Sahara. In Nairobi, Kenya, for example, Ms Nierenberg found women farmers growing vegetables just outside their doorsteps in the Kibera settlement. She says they are finding ways to make their lives better. The women feed their families and sell their surplus. They use the money to send their children to school.
    Last year, about 925,000,000 people worldwide did not get enough to eat. Half of all people in the world now live in and around cities. Researchers like Ms Nierenberg are looking increasingly at creative ideas to feed those who don’t have enough good food to eat. She says there are a lot of lessons that people in the Western world can learn from Africa. And what they are doing can certainly be done in other developing countries.
    Farmers in the developing world lose between twenty and forty percent of their harvest before it ever reaches market. There are many reasons why food gets wasted. Farmers are without electricity and cold storage. They lack good seeds and fertilizer. They lack good roads. Conditions like these keep small farmers in poverty. Ms Nierenberg says more attention needs to be paid to protecting harvests. She says, “Given all that we invest in producing food in the first place, we need to devote the same amount of attention to making sure that it is not wasted.”
    In Nigeria, village processing centers are helping farmers reduce their losses and earn more money. They centers process cassava, a root vegetable, into basic food products. In Uganda, the Worldwatch report says some schools are teaching children how to grow local kinds of crops. And in South Africa and Kenya the report praises the breeding(培育) of local kinds of livestock. These animals may produce less milk or meat than other breeds, but they can survive heat and drought conditions.
    小题1:We could learn from the new report in Para.1 that         .
    A．sub-Saharan Africa has the world’s highest hunger rate
    B．African farmers have ideas to help fighting hunger and poverty
    C．women farmers grow vegetables in the Kibera settlement
    D．women farmers grow vegetables to send their children to school.
    小题2:The underlined word “surplus” in Para.1 is closest in meaning to         .
    A．private vegetablesB．side products
    C．leftover vegetablesD．home-made products
    小题3:Ms Nierenberg suggests that         .
    A．the women spend more money on education instead of farming
    B．more and more African people should live in and around cities
    C．researchers find creative ideas to feed the people suffering hunger
    D．people in the Western world do the same as the Africans have done
    小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Farmers in developing world often lose some of their harvest
    B．Small farmers in developing countries often suffer poverty.
    C．Farmers should pay more attention to protecting their harvest
    D．Attention should be paid to saving food instead of producing food
    小题5:The best title of this passage should be         .
    A．A New Report About African Farmers Fighting Hunger
    B．Creative Ideas to Feed Those Who Have No Enough Food
    C．Looking to Africa for Ideas About How to Fight Hunger
    D．Animals That Can Survive Heat and Drought Conditions

    What’s delicious, healthy to eat and comes in various colors? Eggplant! And no, it has nothing to do with chickens! This strangely named vegetable is, however, as versatile as an egg. It can be steamed, fried or baked. It can be eaten by itself or combined with meats and other vegetables.
    Eggplant was first grown in India during the 5th century B.C. Its popularity soon spread to China and then throughout Asia. Finally, during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it was like a white egg. Due to this egg-like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a “mad apple”. This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one’s health. People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity(精神错乱) and cancer.
    Fortunately, today people know that eggplant doesn’t cause insanity or cancer. In fact, eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this supper vegetable. Since it is high in fiber, eggplant can also improve digestion.
    Italy, Turkey, Egypt, China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today. Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow-white. And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish diversities(多样性) range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious!
    Today, thousands of people are gathering in Loomis, Calif, for the 23rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival. The main activity at the festival is eating delicious eggplant dishes. There is plenty more to do and see, though. Recipe contests, arts and crafts, performers, races and children’s activities all “egg-cite” festival-goers. Most people at the festival would agree — eggplant is an “egg-cellent” vegetable!
    小题1:What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
    A．simple in shapeB．various in cooking
    C．diverse in sizeD．flexible in price
    小题2:Which of the following statements about eggplants is TRUE?
    A. Eggplant was once misunderstood by the people for its bitterness.
    B. Eggplant was introduced into Europe during the 5th century B.C.
    C. Eggplant got its name for its nutrition which is as rich as an egg.
    D. Eggplant looks like what it used to be in color and shape.
    小题3:Eggplant is so healthy that it can _____________.
    A．cure the cancer with certaintyB．do good to digestion
    C．replace other vegetablesD．help relieve insanity
    小题4:The diversities of eggplant reflect in many aspects EXCEPT _____________.
    A．colorsB．sizesC．dishesD．nutrition
    小题5:The passage mainly tells us about __________________.
    A．the 23rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival
    B．the general introduction of eggplant
    C．the origin of eggplant
    D．the benefits of eggplant

    It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words, “a brilliantly（精彩地）written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
    And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten . But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
    The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either )and Herman Melville.
    Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in –depth!
    But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
    小题1:How did the author find his friend a book liar?
    A．By judging his manner of speaking.
    B．By looking into his background.
    C．By mentioning a famous name.
    D．By discussing the book itself.
    小题2:Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?
    A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
    B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.
    C．The author admitted having read 9 books.
    D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.
    小题3:By lying about reading, a person hopes to.
    A．control the conversation
    B．appear knowledgeable
    C．learn about the book
    D．make more friends
    小题4:What is the author’s attitude to 58%of readers?
    A．Favorable.
    B．Uncaring
    C．Doubtful
    D．Friendly

    Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
    Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
    Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
    It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
    小题1:The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.
    A．preparing a topic list firstB．focusing on one’s own mind
    C．directing the talk to the desired resultsD．experiencing the speaker’s inside world
    小题2:What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
    A．How to listen well.B．What to listen to.
    C．Benefits of listening.D．Problems in listening
    小题3:According to the author, in communication people tend to ________.
    A．listen activelyB．listen purposefully
    C．set aside their prejudicesD．open up their inner mind
    小题4:According to the author, the patients improved mainly because _______.
    A．they were taken good care of.B．they knew they were truly listened to.
    C．they had partners to talk to.D．they knew the roots of problems.
    小题5:What type of writing the article likely to be?
    A．Science fictionB．A news report.C．A medical report.D．Popular science

    Q: My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master’s degree. Her performance in general is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has to get over. Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?
    ---- Deborah
    A: First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy.
    You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. “Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also prove an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability.
    ---- Ms. Kravis
    小题1:What do we know about Deborah’s daughter?
    A．She is applying for a master’s degree.
    B．She is very active in her high school.
    C．Her disability prevents her studying well.
    D．She has difficulty getting over her learning disability.
    小题2:The underlined word “demonstrate” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.
    A．showB．developC．gainD．change
    小题3:What is Ms. Kravis’ attitude towards one’s declaring his/her learning disability?
    A．Supportive.B．Critical.C．Doubtful.D．Unconcerned.
    小题4:According to the passage, Mr. Kravis is probably _____.
    A．an editorB．a school leader
    C．a psychological doctorD．an educational expert

    I live in north Celebes which is near Philippines. Since early December 2010 most tropical regions have been frequently hit by rain. Just like my hometown, tropical regions only have two seasons, including the dry season that usually starts from April to September and the wet or rainy season which usually happens from October to March. But, it could be indeterminate. Sometimes the rainy season can come a month earlier or later. It can be prolonged even more than 4 months and so can the dry season. Even during the dry season, rain can occur several times in certain areas.
    The prolonged dry season in tropical areas usually causes a lot of losses. It will be very harmful to local farmers, because most of the tropical areas sre regions of the developing countries. Sometimes agricultural and plantation crops will be damaged because of so much dry land and the fact that the river used to flow the water for rice fields are also dry. Rain is very important for plants because rain contains many nutrients that plants are in great need of.
    What’s more, if the prolonged rainy season arrives and then floods usually occur in certain areas of low lands. Even for the capital city of Jakarta floods have struck several times during the prolonged rainy season. In addition to floods, the rainy season can cause many diseases. During the dry season, diseases are usually caused by mosquitoes such as dengue fever. While in the rainy season, people who have the weak immune will be more easily attacked by some diseases such as flu, fever, diarrhea, and much more.
    If you live in the other places and want to travel to the tropical regions, make sure that you have known much about the season and the effect for these months in which you want to travel as tourists. Only in that way, can you at least prepare to deal with tropical weather.
    小题1:The underlined word “indeterminate” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ _____”
    A．uncertainB．unknownC．untrueD．unbelievable
    小题2:The second paragraph mainly tells us something about _____.
    A．the effects of the dry season.B．the benefits of the rainy season.
    C．the growth of dry landD．the diseases in the dry season
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that in the wet season, _____
