　　Jessie felt her life so boring one summer day．She was tired of watching TV, she read all her books, and her friends were on vacation．She wanted something different to do．Suddenly, she saw the lawn mower(割草機)sitting in the yard．

　　“Mom,” she shouted, “I think I will mow the lawn．” Her mom ran into the yard and said, “Oh no, you don't．You're too young to mow the law．”

　　“I'm fourteen years old and know how to do it,” Jessie said．“Besides, it would help Dad out, and he won't have to worry about it over the weekend．”

　　Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie give it a try．After all, she was home and would keep an eye on her．Jessie already knew how to start the lawn mower from watching her dad．Jessie checked the gas(汽油)to make sure it was full, and put on her gardening gloves to protect her hands．Mom watched from the kitchen window．Jessie really does know how to mow the lawn．She was very careful around the flowers and trees．When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot．Mom brought her some ice tea and said, “You sure did a great job．Dad will be very surprised．”

　　Later that day, Dad came home and said to Jessie's mom, “You didn't have to mow the lawn．I was going to do it on Saturday．It looks great．Thanks．”

　　“I didn't mow it．Jessie did．”

　　“Wow, our little girl is growing up!” Dad told Jessie what a great job she had done．

　　“It was fun, and I will do it again next week,” said Jessie．

　　The neighbor next door came by and asked Jessie if she wanted to mow his lawn and make some money．“Sure!” said Jessie．Jessie began mowing his lawn．Two other neighbors asked so, then another three．Jessie was now mowing lawns for them all and making some money．She was no longer bored! “I won't have time to spend my money,” she laughed to herself．

　　Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man．It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities．After that, it is to make hime a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human．Education is to make a man lead a better life．Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world．

閱讀理解，閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選擇最佳選項。

　　“Mind your own business．” we’re told．“Don't talk about others behind their backs．”The problem with this advice is that，not only is it unrealistic，it's also counterproductive(起反作用的)．

　　Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚語)hurts people's feelings and damages relationships．But recent research shows the opposite-that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip．

　　Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior．“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly，his gossip is letting you in on something，”says Dr．Ralph Rosnow of Temple University．“Gossip says：these are the boundaries and you are crossing them．You’re not abiding by the rules and you'd better get back in line．” Seen this way，gossip is a way to communicate criticism without conflict(沖突)，giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face．

　　On the other hand，what about ill-willed gossip，the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don't and，in nearly every country in the world，gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers．According to researchers，however，this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正確地)．“If we read bad news about well-known people，or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee，our own problems begin to pale in comparison，”says Dr．Jack Levin of Northeastern University．

　　However, that doesn't mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing，either．Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress．This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people，they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them．

(1)

What is the purpose of the text?

[　　]

A．

To encourage us to spread gossip about others．

B．

To prevent us from spreading gossip about others．

C．

To make a comparison between good gossip and bad gossip．

D．

To recognize certain positive functions of gossip．

(2)

According to the passage，people in general think that ________．

[　　]

A．

nobody pays attention to gossip

B．

it's a bad habit to gossip

C．

not all the gossip you hear is worth believing

D．

it's necessary to have a nice gossip with a friend or neighbor

(3)

It could be learned from the passage that ________．

[　　]

A．

people under much stress enjoy gossiping about others

B．

in fact most people tend to believe gossip

C．

in a way gossip helps us deal with our own problems

D．

the more there is gossip，the stronger relationships become between people

閱讀理解

　　Many years ago when people had no thermometers (溫度計), they usually touched a thing to see how hot or cold it was．The following experiment shows how easy it was to make a mistake．

　　Take three glasses: the first one with very hot water, the second one with very cold water, and the third one with water at room temperature．Then you put a finger of one hand in the hot water, and a finger of the other hand in the cold water．You hold your fingers in the two glasses for a minute．Then you use each finger, one after another, to see how hot or cold the water in the third glass is．You will find that the water is warm to the finger that was in the cold water before, but the finger which was in the hot water will feel cold in the same glass of water．

　　That is why you must always find the temperature in a scientific way．You must not try to tell the temperature as it seems to you．

　　You will often make a mistake if you take something that seems to you for a real fact．For example, when you are going to an Amusement park by bus and you want to get there very quickly, it seems to you that your bus is going very slowly, slower than the other buses．But if it is Sunday and you have much free time, it seems to you all the buses and cars are going very fast．

[　　]

A．

colder than the water in the first glass

What will you find if you put the finger which was in the first glass into the second glass according to the experiment?

[　　]

A．

The water is hotter than it is in the first glass．

B．

The water is as hot as it is in the first glass．

C．

The water is at room temperature．

D．

The water is colder than it is in the first glass．
