9.How to control embarrassing moments
Have you ever done something embarrassing?At that moment,you probably wished you could disappear into air.Good news?You can keep the damage to the minimum.Here's some help.
(33)C
You are staring at a handsome boy so hard that you walk into a wall.You dropped all your books.The best thing you can do?If you're not hurt seriously,laugh it off.Say like"Hey,I can teach you to do that if you want to!"By laughing at yourself,you show people you're confident and still in control of the situation.
(34)B
Some situations are not suitable for laughing off.Your underwear falls out of your backpack.You pass gas while giving a speech.Making a joke would call more attention to what happened.What now?You can just pretend nothing happened and go on what you were doing,or you can say"Oh,that was awkward"and then move on.
(35)A
Some embarrassing situations may embarrass yourself and make someone else feel bad.You imitate (模仿) your teacher's accent just as the teacher walks in.Making a joke or running away won't make you look better.Instead,apologize,"I'm so sorry about that."It may make things right again.

A.Apologize
B.Move on
C.Laugh it off
D.Run away.

19.How do people traditionally manufacture (制造) things?They usually start with a sheet of metal,wood or other material and cut,drill (钻) and shave it to create a desired shape.Sometimes,they use a mold (模具) made of metal or sand,pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part.
Now,a completely different method is gaining popularity.
On Oct.9,2013,London Science Museum kicked off its new exhbition,3-D:Printing the Future,with over 600 3-D printed objects on display,including space probes (探测器),toy dolls and even human organs-basically any product you can think of,reported Live Science.
You ight find it hard to believe that an object can actually be"printed out"like a picture.But it is not that hard to understand how it works.Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷洒) in onto paper line by line,modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer,from the bottom to the top,gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink,the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic,resin (树脂) and certain metals.The thinner each layer is-from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be.And objects always come out in one piece,sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward.
For example,10years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost£20,000 (200,000yuan),while now it costs only about£1,000,according to the BBC.In fact,3-D printers have been around for some time,but until recently they hadn't been very popular since few people could afford them.Last year,though,saw a big decrease in the price of 3-D printers.
However,as 3-D printing technology becomes more commonplace,it may trigger certain problems.One of them is piracy (盗版)."Once you can download a coffee maker,or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-D printer,who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?"an expert on 3-D printing told Forbes News.
Even more frightening,the world's first 3-D printed gun was successfully fired in the US in May of this year,which means that 3-D printing could potentially give more people access to weapons.

53.According to the article,in the future,3-D printing technology will probablyA.
A.change the way people make products
B.be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers
C.forbid many countries to make purchases of weapons
D.take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy
54.What was the big event that happened in the 3-D printing industry last year?D
A.Over 600 3-D printed objects were on display in an exhibition.
B.3-D printing technology came to be used in various fields.
C.The world's first 3-D printed gun was successfully made.
D.The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers.
55.What is the author's attitude toward 3-D printing technology?B
A.Amused.
B.Objective.
C.Supportive.
D.Negative.

4.[1]When I was born,my mother immediately made learning a necessary and fun part of my life.Everything we did was a positive learning interaction,whether we were baking cookies or spending the day at the library.I never watched TV,not because I was not allowed to,but because it was more fun writing stories with my mom.
[2]When I finally entered a school classroom at age five,I was excited,but terrified.That first day of kindergarten I quietly sat at my desk during snack time and opened my Miss Piggy lunch box.Inside the box I found a note from my mother written on a napkin(餐巾).The note said that she loved me,that she was proud of me and that I was the best kindergartner in the world!Because of that napkin note I made it through my first day of kindergarten and many more school days to follow.
[3]There have been many  since the first one.There were napkin notes in elementary school when I was struggling with my math,telling me to"Hang in there,kiddo!You can do it!Don't forget what a great writer you are!"There were napkin notes in junior high school when I was the"new girl"with frizzy hair and pimples telling me to"Be friendly.Don't be scared.Anyone would be lucky to have you as her best friend!"In high school,when my basketball team was the first team in our school's history to play in a state championship,there were napkin notes telling me,"There is no‘I'in team.You have gotten this far because you know how to share."And there were even napkin notes sent to me in college and graduate school,far away from my mother's physical touch.Mother's encouragement,support and teaching are always with me,echoed in years of love,commitment and napkin notes.
56.Why did the writer never watch TV?(within 10words)Because it was more fun writing stories with my mom./
Because doing something else was more interesting.
57.When did the mother begin to leave the writer napkin notes?(within 8words)When the writer went to kindergarten/school./When the writer was 5.
58.Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 3.(within 2words)napkin notes

14.There are thousands of words in the English language.And every year,there are more as English continues to grow.But how many of these words do you really need to learn?(36)F
The research shows that these top 100words make up about 50% of all the words we use in English.But that isn't all.They also found that the top 1,000words account for 75% of our vocabulary.And with only 7,000words,you've covered 90% of all the words you will use in your lifetime.Unbelievably,they also found that the top 10words in English (the,be,to,of,and,a,in,that,have,I) make up 25% of all the words we use.(37)GSounds good?(38)AFor a start,most of the words that appear in the list are headwords.A headword is like a root word,with lots of other related words that come after it.For example,from the headword"run"there are"runs,running,ski run,run out of something."
(39)CSo,while the most common meaning of"run"is"to move quickly",if you say that a road"runs"in a particular direction,you're describing which way the road goes.For example,"The road runs from north to south."
So,of the 1,000high-frequency headwords there are thousands of other related words.(40)D
If you know the basic meaning of the headwords,you can often guess the meaning of the other terms and expressions.
So,get studying that list!

A.Unfortunately,it isn't that simple.
B.The list includes millions of words in it.
C.On top of that,words often have different meanings.
D.However,studying high-frequency words can still be useful.
E.The other 10% are words related to extremely specific subjects.
F.A study by Oxford Online has identified the top 100words in English.
G.So,if you take any 100-word paragraph from an article,the chances are that 25of them will be one of these words.

12.Anyone who has ever tried to stop smoking knows how difficult it is to quit.There is no lack of information about how unhealthy smoking is for you-not to mention the unpleasant smell.So why would teens ever begin to smoke?
(31)C Research shows that the majority of smokers lit up their first cigarette in their early or mid-teens,precisely at a time when children are beginning to establish their own identity apart from their parents.Smoking can be an act of rebellion(反抗) against parents or authority figures,as well as a way to fit in with others and feel accepted.
Here are some things that parents can do to help a child stay smoke-free.
Start talking to your teen about how bad smoking is for him early,well before his teens.Keep talking,too. (32)F
(33)DFor example,smoking makes your hair and clothing smell bad,stains the teeth,and reduces your lung power to play sports.
(34)BTalk about the addictive power of smoking and tell him while those few cigarettes are his choice,the addiction that occurs shortly afterwards makes him powerless to decide whether or not he wants to light up.
Work on self-esteem(自尊) and self-confident with your teen.Much of the attraction of smoking is to gain acceptance. (35)E

A.Young teens live in the moment,too.
B.Play on your child's desire to make his own choices.
C.The answer lies in the develop-mental stage of your teens.
D.Give your child the facts,but focus on the things he can relate to.
E.Help your teen to feel good about himself without having to smoke.
F.One discussion will not be enough to help your child not to smoke.
G.They won't be aware of how powerful addictive smoking is in a very short time.
