13．James Cameron was born in a small town in Canada on August 16，1954．At 15 he discovered what he wanted to do with his life．（66）FThe movie was Stanley Kubrick's 2001：A Space Odyssey．
Cameron set his hope high．（67）BBut he didn't know anything about cinema．What's more，he lived far away from Hollywood，the place for him to realize his dreams．
（68）EHis father told him they would be moving to California and living only a few miles from Hollwood．At that time，he had a great desire to attend film school，but his family couldn't afford it．So he went to study physics at Fullerton College．
Before long Cameron dropped out of college and began earning his living as a truck driver．But he still hadn't given up his dream of becoming a movie maker．His first professional film job was an art director in 1980，and in 1984 he wrote and directed the Terminator．（69）AAfter it came a series of successful science fiction action films．
Cameron now could do whatever he wanted．He had several projects in mind，including Titanic．（70）DBut it ended up earning almost  2 billion．After Titanic，Cameron started making Avatar in 2005．It took his team two years just to do the technical research，but the movie has become another huge success．
A．It was a huge success．
B．He wanted to make movies．
C．Cameron had to face the facts．
D．This movie cost  200 million to make．
E．However，Cameron got a lucky break in 1971．
F．It happened one night after he saw a movie．
G．They used high technology to get the effects they wanted．

12．Keeping healthy
（66）D      
Habit is something we do very often．We do not think when we are doing it．We can have good habits or bad habits．This passage gives some advice on how to be healthy．It tells you what you must do if you want to be healthy．It also tells you what you must not do．It talks about good habits and bad habits．
（67）A
"Early to bed，early to rise，makes a man healthy，wealthy and wise．"This is an old English saying．Have you heard of it before？It means that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning．If we do，we shall be healthy．We shall also be rich（wealthy）and clever（wise）．
（68）C
Is this true？Perhaps it is．The body must have enough sleep．Children need ten hours'sleep every night．If you do not go to bed early，you cannot have enough sleep．Then you cannot think properly and you cannot do your work properly．You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy！
（69）B
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning．This is not good for them．We must sleep at night when it is dark．The darkness helps us to sleep properly．When the daylight comes，we must get up．This is the time for exercise．Exercise means doing things with the body．Walking，running，jumping，swimming and playing games are all exercise．If the body is not used，it becomes weak．Exercise keeps it strong．
（70）F
Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body．This is very important．Blood takes food to all parts of our bodies．The brains in our heads also need blood．We think with our brains．If we keep our bodies healthy，and take exercise，we can think better！

A．Using a proverb to tell us how to keep healthy
B．Getting up early----one best way to keep healthy
C．The importance of sleeping
D．Introduction to keeping healthy
E．The importance of the blood in our body
F．The benefit of exercises．

11．Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes．One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color．They do this for many reasons．Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group．（71）B Let's look at some different examples of body painting．
（72）A Among the Masai of East Africa，when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people，they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red．This ceremony take place every seven to fourteen years，so there is not an exact age for participating in it．The Samburu，also from East Africa，like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive．
（73）D To show that he has killed a lion，a man will paint his body with a natural white material，making special marks to represent this accomplishment．The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults．
One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa．Once a year，they have a beauty contest for men．（74）GThen they add white and black circles and lines．Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth，which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful．（75）E．

As you travel，enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa．
A．Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life．
B．Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war．
C．The ceremony expresses hope for rain．
D．The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave．
E．The women then decide which man they like best．
F．The men pretend to fight each other．
G．The men paint their faces yellow and red．

10．Health is the most important thing in the world．Nothing is more important than health．If we take away our money，houses，cars，or even our clothes，we can still survive．（71）D．That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly．
How can we keep healthy？In order to eat healthily，I usually avoid eating food high in fat，like French fries or cookies，which are junk food．（72）E Besides，I only eat little meat．
（73）A  Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body．Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy．
What's more，I think friends are an important part of one's health．（74）CI always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone．When I am with my friends，I always laugh．Laughing is also an important part of health．It is good to stay with my friends．
By eating properly and exercising regularly，I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy．By spending time with my friends，I can keep my mind as well as my body happy．These things sound easy to do，but not many people can manage them（75）F．

A．On the other hand，doing exercise is very important．
B．There are some people who like staying alone，but they keep healthy．
C．Many studies show that people with a narrow range of social contacts often get sick．
D．But if our health was taken away，it is certain that we would surely die．
E．I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins．
F．I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy．
G．Some people appear fat because they often eat too much．

9．Most students develop a fear of tests．It is mainly because they lack self-confidence．Fortunately，overcoming your fear of tests is not difficult，as long as you follow the tips below：
（71）DThose who think that they are not well-prepared are usually those who fear tests the most．As long as you know that you have studied well and for long enough，you will be successful．
（72）BAs long as you have studied well，you will be more confident of your ability to succeed in the test．
（73）AThis way，you know what to prepare for and you can gain confidence about how well you will do in the test．
You should know that tests only measure your ability，not your intelligence．So，even if you think you will do badly in one test，be sure that there are other tests to come in which you can do better．（74）F
（75）GHowever，with the right attitude and preparation，you can overcome your fear of tests through the use of these tips．

A．Ask your teacher beforehand about the material that is going to be covered in the test．
B．be confident of yourself．
C．Only if you overcome your fear can you achieve much in the tests．
D．Make sure that you are well-prepared．
E．Never be afraid of the coming test．
F．As long as you think that there is another tomorrow，you can overcome your fear of this one test．
G．A fear can be a hursle （障碍） to success．

8．"Nature does not hurry，yet everything is accomplished．"---Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes，realize that you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic．You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less，and disconnected sometimes．Your environment doesn't control your life---you do．I'm not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower．（71）D
1．Do less．
Cut back on your projects，on your task list，on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．（72）F Save smaller，routine tasks for later in the day，but give yourself time to focus．
2．Have fewer meetings．
（73）B And they eat into your day，forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows，and making you rush．
3．（74）A
When you do the important things with focus，without rush，there will be things that get pushed back，and that don't get done．And you need to ask yourself：how necessary are these things？What would happen if I stopped doing them？
4．Practice mindfulness．
Simply learn to live in the present，rather than things so much about future or the past．When you eat，fully appreciate your food．When you are with someone，be with them fully．When you are walking，appreciate your surroundings，no matter where you are．
Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．
（75）E

A．Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary．
B．Meetings are usually a"big waste of time"．
C．The world likely won't end if you don't pass one of the examinations．
D．But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt，if they work for your life．
E．Remember the quote：if nature can get everything done without rushing，so can you．
F．Pick 2-3important things---or even just one important thing---and work on those first．
G．Give yourself more time to get ready and get there．

7．Madhav was a poor but hard-working man．（71）C He had a son named Kishan．
One day，Madhav was working in his yard．He was singing happily as he worked．He had no hair on his head．The sun was shining，and so was his head．A fly（苍蝇）flew around him and sat on his head from time to time．（72）A
Just then，his son，Kishan，came to him．Kishan liked listening to his father sing．（73）B He wanted to help his father．He asked him if there was anything that he could do．
Madhav told him to sharpen （磨快） an axe （斧子） that was lying nearby．Kishan picked up the axe and began to sharpen it．Then he noticed that a fly was troubling his father again and again．It came and sat on his father's nose．His father drove it away，but it came back immediately．His father was becoming annoyed by the fly．（74）E
As soon as the fly came and sat on Madhav's head，Kishan took up the axe and struck it hard on his father's head．（75）F It was his foolish action that had wounded his father．He started crying and ran home to call his mother．The mother took Madhav to the hospital．The wound was deep and dangerous．For months．Madhav could not do any work．Kishan could never forgive himself for his foolish action．

A．The fly made him feel very angry．
B．He also loved watching him at his work．
C．He had a habit of singing when he worked．
D．He was happy to know that his son liked his songs．
E．Kishan thought of a good way to teach the fly a lesson．
F．However，the fly flew away and the axe fell on his father's head．
G．So he picked up the sharpened axe and stood behind his father．

6．Ways to fight the flu
The flu is annoying enough on its own．In order to keep yourself from it，follow these tips．
★Get the flu vaccine（疫苗）．It's the best way to protect yourself against the flu．（71）F It also helps the people around you because there's less chance you will catch the flu and pass it on．
★Wash your hands often．Hand washing is an important way to protect against germs（细菌） like flu viruses．（72）E So get in the habit of washing your hands when you come home from school，the mall，or anywhere else where you are around a lot of people．
★（73）B Flu viruses travel through the air，so try to stay away from people who look sick．It's also a good idea to avoid touching your nose，eyes，and mouth-three places flu viruses can easily enter the body．
★Cough or sneeze into a tissue（手巾纸）-not into your hands．That way，you're not spreading the virus when you touch surfaces that other people may touch too．
★（74）A You don't want to pass your germs to someone else．And staying home is a great excuse to watch your favorite movie，play video games，or read to have a good rest．（75）C
You also can fight the flu by getting enough sleep，eating healthy foods，drinking plenty of water，and getting regular exercise．
Don't let the flu ruin your fall and winter fun．Fight back!

A．Stay home if you have the flu．
B．Keep your distance if someone is sick．
C．Rest can help the body recover faster．
D．Take some medicine as soon as you have the flu．
E．It also helps protect against other germs and illnesses．
F．Getting vaccinated doesn't just protect your own health．
G．Don't let the flu fall at one of the most exciting times of the year．

5．（71）EOne of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club．It's great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there's never anything to do during the school holidays．
    The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club．（72）DPets，clothes，pop music or dancing groups，sports，making things？The list is endless．
   Next you need some friends to be in your club with you．（73）AAll you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you．
    （74）FYou should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up．That'll keep you busy for ages．
    At your first meeting you should make up a rule book．And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters!The best clubs are always secret!
    Now you have just about everything you need，except membership cards．These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them．（75）GWhy not leave some space for a photo of yourself？That will make the membership card really look like it．
    So there you are，get clubbing!Once you get started you'll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A．That's easy．
B．Enjoy your own club!
C．Invite a designer to join you．
D．What are you interest in？
E．Some vacation is just around the corner．
F．Then you need to pick a name for your club．
G．Use a bright thick pen to make a special design．
