    December 2
    Sharon called about four times today. At least it shows she’s trying to explain something to me. I feel a little better.
    December 3
    This morning Sharon said she had only told one person and didn’t know why everyone seemed to know. Yes, I am an adopted (收养的) daughter. But she had promised to keep it a secret for ever!
    December 5
    I wish I had a friend I could really trust all of the time. I thought I found that friend, but I haven’t and it’s making me miserable (痛苦的)! It’s wrong to tell her all about it. She gains my trust, and then loses it.
    December 7
    I have a nice room, beautiful house and everything I’ve ever wanted. My adoptive parents will give me all the things I’ve ever dreamed of. Yet all the money in the world can’t buy what I want now. I want for Sharon to be my best friend again.
    December 10
    Sharon just called. She said she thought it might help if we spent more time together. She worried that I would switch schools (转学). She is the best friend I’ve ever had. When I’m with Sharon, I can be myself. I need Sharon’s friendship. I need it more than I’ve ever known.

    Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand (商标) of product on the shelf.
    Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged (包装) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
    When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
    The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
    It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
    The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote(推销)  their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius (天才) to sell it.”
    小题1:Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
    A．The cost of its package.B．The price of the product.
    C．The colour of its package.D．The brand name of the product.
    小题2:The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off”(in Para. 3 ) means that the colours _____.
    A．attracted the customers strongly
    B．had weak effects on the customers
    C．tricked the customers into shopping
    D．caused the customers to lose interest
    小题3:Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
    A．The way to promote goods.
    B．The discovery of a genius.
    C．The team to produce a good product.
    D．The brand name used by successful producers.
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
    A．Choice of Good ProductsB．Disadvantages of Products
    C．Effect of Packaging on ShoppingD．Brand Names and Shopping Tricks

    When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.
    It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.
    The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.
    Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.
    On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?
    I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.
    小题1:Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?
    A．Having a car ride.
    B．Taking the train twice.
    C．Buying more than one toy.
    D．Touring the historic district.
    小题2:According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?
    A．Building confidence in herself.
    B．Reducing her use of private cars.
    C．Developing her sense of direction.
    D．Giving her knowledge about vehicles.
    小题3:The underlined word “paralyzed” (in Para. 5) is closest in meaning to “_______”.
    A．displayed
    B．justified
    C．ignored
    D．ruined
    小题4:Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?
    A．Airplane.
    B．Subway.
    C．Tram.
    D．Car.

    I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
    I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
    It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
    Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
    The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
    It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.
    小题1:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
    A．I was waiting for good fortune.
    B．I was trying to find an admirable job.
    C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.
    D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.
    小题2:The author decided to write a novel ______ .
    A．to finish the writing course
    B．to realize her own dream
    C．to satisfy readers’ wish
    D．to earn more money
    小题3:How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?
    A．Disturbed.B．Ashamed.C．Confident.D．Uncertain.
    小题4:What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?
    A．It pays to stick to one’s goal.
    B．Hard work can lead to success.
    C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.
    D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something.

    My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night lights, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.
    It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting (适应) well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.
    In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.
    For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you,” said one of them.
    I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cellphone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.
    小题1:The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ___________.
    A．she watched the scene with her daughter
    B．the scene was very exciting and interesting
    C．the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson
    D．the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children
    小题2:After he daughter went to college, the writer ___________.
    A．didn’t get used to the change for a long time
    B．often cried as she missed her daughter so much
    C．realized she hadn’t done enough for the daughter
    D．failed to have a good sleep every night
    小题3:What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?
    A．Happiness.B．Anger.C．Sadness.D．Excitement.
    小题4:We can infer that watching Toy Story 3 ___________.
    A．made the writer know her daughter didn’t want to go to college
    B．improved the relationship between the writer and her daughter
    C．helped the writer realize how important education was
    D．made the writer miss her daughter even more

    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 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 overcome. 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 demonstrate 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 overcoming her learning disability.
    小题2:According to Ms. Kravis, what can Deborah do about her daughter’s low test scores?
    A．Keep them secretB．Explain the reasons
    C．Stress other aspectsD．Work hard to improve
    小题3:What is Ms. Kravis’ attitude toward one’s declaring his/ her learning disability?
    A．SupportiveB．OpposedC．DoubtfulD．Unconcerned
    小题4:According to the text, Ms. Kravis is probably         .
    A．an editorB．a school leader
    C．a psychologicalD．an educational expert

    For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed（消耗） by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted（轻松地） movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!
    The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping（单脚跳） along the path singing, "I'm singing in the rain", a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.
    Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.
    If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.
    小题1:The author felt depressed because she __________.
    A．couldn't consume her waking hour.
    B．had not seen a film for a long time.
    C．had not finished her work on time.
    D．had worked on a hard job for too long.
    小题2:The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to__________.
    A．take photos.B．find a solution to the project.
    C．hop along the path.D．cheer herself up.
    小题3:The underlined part "to no avail" in Paragraph 1 probably means
    " __________.".
    A．unsuccessfulB．unrelated（不相关的）C．uninterestingD．unexpected
    小题4:In the author's opinion, __________.
    A．a bath can make people relaxed.
    B．depression is usually caused by hard work.
    C．walking in a busy city centre harms people's health.
    D．adults should express their inner feelings freely.
    小题5:The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) __________.
    A．explanationB．suggestionC．introduction D．reminder
