The stories we share with one another are important.They show wisdom and provide inspiration.They are important to our development.But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Considering the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news,people are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told.Bobette Buster said it like this,“The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle.When they are finally uncorked,their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story:they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves:the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside.And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important:It proves we are trustworthy.It displays we are human.We are not perfect or better.It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development.Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely.But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not.There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
1.What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A.It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.
B.It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C.It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D.It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.
A.story?sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B.people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C.people so metimes have no courage to share their stories
D.some stories make themselves feel uneasy
3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A.Freed. B.Broken.
C.Unfolded. D.Untouched.
4.The writer aims to convince us to ________.
A.be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B.share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C.remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D.realize the importance of being honest when making

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A.B.C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.
In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.
Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.
In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. Instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.
1.Tokyo is different from London in that ________.
A. it has a smaller population
B. it is an international city
C. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot in Tokyo
D. its people are friendlier and more polite.
2.What time does the writer think is the worst time to go into the street?
A. When the night-clubs are closing.
B. At 8 o'clock in the morning.
C. When the train is overcrowded.
D. At 11:30 a.m.
3.What does the writer say about Japanese trains?
A. There are not enough trains.
B. They are very nice and comfortable.
C. They leave and arrive at the right time.
D. They often run behind schedule.
4.From the writer's observation, we can see that fires break out in Tokyo ________.
A. occasionally B. quite frequently
C. not very often D. twice a day

Contrary to people's previous knowledge, it's food shortage not dietary preference that motivates birds to migrate thousands of miles back and forth between breeding and non?breeding areas each year, a new research shows.
“It's not whether you eat insects,fruits or candy bars or where you eat them that counts,but how reliable that day?to?day food source is,” said the study leader W.Alice Boyle of the University of Arizona.
To figure out the underlying pressure that drives some birds to leave home for the season,Boyle examined 379 related species of New World flycatchers(捕蝇鸟) and compared their sizes,food types, habitats, migratory behaviors and whether or not they fed in flocks.
To compare the birds,the researchers constructed a “supertree” showing the exact evolutionary relationships among different species.
A computer analysis then determined whether a particular species was migratory because it ran in the “family” or whether something in the bird's environment was forcing it to leave each season.Boyle and her colleagues found that food shortage was the number one issue that predicted a species' migratory behavior. “Food availability is the underlying pressure, not diet and habitat,” Boyle said.
An alternative strategy that the birds use to handle food shortage is to hunt in flocks, since a group is more likely to find a new source of food than an individual.
“If you suffer from food shortage, you have two options,” Boyle said.“You can either hunt with other birds or you can migrate.”
1.Birds were thought to migrate in order to ________.
A.seek their favorite food in a new place
B.avoid being constantly hunted
C.breed more young in a new place
D.adjust themselves to the changes of weather
2.What is Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?
A.The aim of the research.
B.The basis of the research.
C.The process of the research.
D.The findings of the research.
3.The passage implies that ________.
A.the birds' food sources are getting rare in the world
B.the living surroundings are severe for birds
C.birds search for food separately
D.birds can survive only by hunting in flocks
4.For what purpose does the author write the text?
A.Educating readers.
B.Informing readers.
C.Drawing people's attention.
D.Condemning the bad environment.

Almost all of us heard the story “Here Comes the Wolf” when we are little kids. What we can learn from the story is we must be honest. Therefore, there’re lots of phenomenon of dishonesty nowadays.
Being honest does great harm not only to other people and also to yourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for an example. After drinking this kind of milk, the baby had big heads while their legs and arms were still thin, what badly affected their health. To my great relief, the producers got accused and punished net all the serious consequences in the end.
