In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation(模仿) is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
小题1:
.Imitation proves useful when you        .
A.know you are uniqueB.lose the balance of life
C.begin to learn something newD.get tired of routine practice
小题2:
To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.
A.forget daily fear and painB.choose the right example
C.ask others for decisionsD.stay away from stars
小题3:
According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are          .
A.eager to influence others with their knowledge
B.ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C.eager to discover what their ancestors did
D.willing to accept others’ ideas
小题4:
The trouble a creator faces is          .
A.the lack of strong motivationB.the absence of practical ideas
C.how to search for more materialsD.how to use imagination creatively
小题5:
The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to __________.

Texting in the street—your funeral
Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.
One in ten  41  users has already been  42  because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to  43  lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.
To test the danger of texting while  44  , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a  45  path while trying to  46  in a message on the phone.
Around them, screens  47  up instructions to avoid stepping on  48  colors on the floor.
She found that people missed one in five  49  because they were so busy with their phones.
“In  50  life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is  51
to go unnoticed by people  52  and walking,” she said.
Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the  53
of phones to make texting on the move  54  . That could  55  easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.
“The safest thing is  56  people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57  a lot of people in business are  58  to carry a mobile phone and be in  59  24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls  60  , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

In business, there is a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy(策略)and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size .Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.
In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.
How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.
In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right , rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . That kind of strategy must come from the top.
小题1: What does the underlined part “gain an edge ”in Paragraph 2 mean ? 
A.Increase the speed.
B.Get an advantage.
C.Reach the limit.
D.Set a goal.
小题2:. The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ___________.  
A.spending more time and performing worse.
B.spending more time and performing better
C.spending less time and performing worse
D.spending less time and performing better
小题3:What can we learn from the text?  
A.how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.
B.how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.
C.Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.
D.Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.
小题4:. Which could be the best title for the text?  
A.Improve quality? Serve better.
B.Deliver value? Plough ahead.
C.Reduce time? Move faster.
D.Need speed? Slow down.

A motivational strategy that parents can employ with their kids, is to frame tasks and responsibilities in the context of what the end benefit is for them.I call this strategy WIIFM ("What's in it for me?" ).
When a teen can combine an understanding of WIIFM with a sense of passion about achieving a goal, barriers will start to fall away.At our teen summer camps, we arrange an event near the end of the 10-day session that helps campers identify an important life goal and mentally break through their biggest barrier to achieving the goal. We pass around 12-by-12-inch pine boards.We tell campers that this activity is not about breaking a piece of wood.It's about how you can get what you want in your life.It's about breaking
barriers to grab on to your goals.
They have the power to break through any barrier.It has nothing to do with body size or physical condition.The skinniest, smallest teens will break through the board almost as easily as the big ones.
We talk to the campers about the reasons they might have had for not reaching their goals in the past.Maybe they got lazy and decided it wasn't worth the effort.Maybe they failed and let their fear of failure hold them back.But this exercise is about putting the past where it belongs.Today is about making new choices.
By this point in the program, we ask them to think of the goal they've set or themselves and write their goals on the boards.Then they write the possible obstacles which may hold them back on the opposite sides.An inch of pine now stands between them and their dreams.
The facilitators and their teammates gather around.The support is strong.One by one, they break through the barriers and grab their goals! All around us teens are laughing, crying, hugging, and holding up the broken pieces of their boards.The confidence shown on their faces is beautiful.
While arranging such an activity in one's home is almost unrealistic for parents, the value of helping a teen break through a personal hairier simply by being there as moral support can not be overestimated.More help for parents in the form of videos and articles is available at our website, in our blogs and in a monthly e-newsletter.
小题1:The 12-by-12-inch pine boards are used as ______.
A.materials to test one's musclesB.signs of goals in one's life
C.assessments to show one's progressD.symbols of barriers in one's life
小题2:We can learn from the passage that through the event the campers ______.
A.become hard-workingB.get moral support
C.gain confidenceD.set right goals
小题3:Which is the best title for the passage?
A.The Power of WIIFMB.What's in It for Me
C.The Importance of GoalsD.Motivational Strategies
小题4:The passage is intended for ______.
A.teensB.parentsC.campersD.tutors

Parents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives.However, doesn't it seem that many of us come to have conflicts with them when we start high school? We're less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions—we even rebel against them.
Why? It may be the so-called "generation gap".A generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents
are ignoring us, don't understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them.
The key reason is our desire for independence.In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions.But parents resist this.They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do.Debate and discussion often come to nothing.Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.
Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school."She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world," Zhang said."Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, 'How was your last exam? or 'Have you made any progress in physics?" To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily."Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her.After, she comes to apologize and comfort me.But I know, she doesn't completely understand me," Zhang said.Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.
The generation gap can be harmful.Because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about.There are quarrels, even over trivial things.When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies.Some of us even become afraid to go home after school— a very serious situation for the whole family.
小题1:Which of the following is not included in article?
A.The causes of generation gap.B.The effects of generation gap.
C.One example of generation gap.D.Ways of narrowing generation gap.
小题2:Which of the following is one reason for the generation gap according to the passage?
A.Modern society changing very fast.
B.Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children.
C.Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other.
D.Young people liking to escape from the control of their parents.
小题3:Which of the following word has the closet meaning to the underlined word "perfunctorily"?
A.attentivelyB.indifferently
C.flatteringlyD.seriously
小题4:In the view of the author,____.
A.parents should allow their children more freedom
B.parents and children should not stay together
C.the younger generation should value the older generation
D.academic records are more important than one's inner world

There have been great changes in the lives of women. During the twentieth century ,there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have about eight children, of whom about five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器) and convenience(方便) foods.
This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.
小题1:Women marrying at the end of the 19th century ________.
A.would have fewer children than those today.
B.would have more children than those today.
C.lived as hard as those in the 20th century
D.lived more comfortably than those in the 20th century
小题2: According to the passage, a woman in the 19th century would likely to have about eight children and _______.
A.only about three of them could live more than five years old.
B.only about three of them could live for five years.
C.about eight children lived to be more than five years.
D.about eight children lived to be less than five years.
小题3: From the second paragraph, we know _______.
A.women today are not willing to run their home together with their husbands.
B.women today wouldn’t like to do any housework.
C.women today will return to work after they have their babies.
D.were unlikely to find jobs like the mothers before .
小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is right ?
A.in the past most women often stay at home after leaving school
B.women today like to marry men younger than themselves
C.women today are playing important parts in work and family life.
D.husbands today needn’t do any work at home.

Many people think that the BBC news programs are better than those on other channels because the BBC is not a commercial company. It pays for its programs from the television license money which everyone must pay if they have a television.
The BBC, which is often known as "Auntie", is the biggest news collecting operation in the world. It has the world’s largest network of foreign correspondents (通讯员;记者). Ten percent of the BBC’s annual budget is spent on news collecting, reporting and presenting. More than 1,700 people work for the BBC news service.
The BBC produces more than 214 hours of news and current affairs programs for radio and television each week. Each television news program costs about £78,000 per hour and each radio news program costs approximately £4,800 per hour. In the UK, about 19 million people ― almost 35% of the total population, watch the BBC television news progams every day.
Developments in technology are improving news collection and presentation every year. The BBC now uses special cameras in the TV news studios to film the news presenters, and captions― the words and sentences at the bottom of the screen, are now produced automatically by computer.

Increasingly ,over the past ten years ,people—especially young people—have become aware of the need to change their eating habits ,because much of the food they eat ,particularly processed foods ,is not good for the health .As a result ,there has been a growing interest in natural foods :foods which do not contain chemical fertilizers ,widely used in farming today .
Natural foods ,for example ,are vegetables ,fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic(有机的)matter . In simple terms ,this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter ,which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers , the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of food grown in commercial farming areas .
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy grassland for cattle .Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry (家禽):there are battery farms ,for example ,where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish .Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins .
There are other things of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet .Take ,for example ,the question of sugar .This is actually a non-essential food! Although another natural food ,such as honey ,can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary ,we can in fact do without it .It is not that sugar is harmful in itself .But it does seem to be addictive : the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year !Yet all it does is provide us with energy ,in the form of calories .There are no vitamins in it ,no minerals ,and no fibre .
It’s very important that nowadays fibre is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet .In white bread ,for example ,the fibre has been removed .But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables .It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables ,certain diseases are comparatively not often seen .For this reason ,the importance is placed on the eating of wholemeal(没有去麸的面粉)bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.
小题1:People have become more interested in natural foods because            .
A.they want to keep fit
B.they want to taste all kinds of foods
C.natural foods are more delicious than processed foods
D.they want to return to nature
小题2:Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that           .
A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbage
B.they live in very crowed condition
C.the eggs they produce lack vitamins
D.they are allowed to move about and eat freely
小题3:According to the passage,_________.
A.people need sugar to give them energy
B.sugar is bad for the health
C.the use of sugar is habit forming
D.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful
