More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle(叢林).He walked around, showing off his power and pride.

Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬)before him.

One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion's huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. "How dare you wake me up! " he shouted angrily. Lion hunted Mouse with one paw. "On the second thought, I'm in the mood for the snack, and you'll make a delicious meal." he said.

Mouse cried out, "King Lion, please spare me! If you let me live, I'll always remember your kindness. And, some day, I might be able to help you."

"How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?" That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the

way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter's net. The net scooped(兜接)him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn't run away.

When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed(咀嚼) through the ropes to make a hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse."Thank you for saving my life," said Lion ,smiling his widest smile," I was mistaken. You are not a powerless little mouse. You are a great friend!"

1.What did Lion do each day?

A. He showed kindness to animals in the jungle.

2.Why did Lion let Mouse go?

A. Because he was trapped in the net.

B. Because he took Mouse as his good friend.

C. Because he doubted if Mouse could be of any help.

D. Because he believed Mouse could save him.

C. Even the small can show great strength.

D. When the cat's away, the mice will play.

Deciding what to wear in the morning is a challenge for some people.We often worry about what others will think of us because of our clothes. But researchers are beginning to think that our clothing has an equally powerful effect on how we see ourselves.

Scientists Adam Galinsky and Hajo Adams report that there is science behind our style. In their research，Galinsky and Adams had some participants(參與者)wear white lab coats similar to the ones scientists or doctors wear. Other participants wore their normal clothes. The participants took a test that surveyed their ability to pay attention. In the experiment，participants saw cards with different-colored words on them. They had to say the color of the word they saw，not the word itself. The people wearing the white lab coats said the correct color of the word more often.

Galinsky and Adams think that the white coats made the participants feel more confident and careful. The researchers also believe that other kinds of "symbolic" clothes can influence the behavior of the people wearing them. A police officer's uniform or a judge's robe，for example，increases the wearer's feelings of power or confidence. And in workplaces that have a dress code，"symbolic" clothes may also affect how well employees do their jobs.

Fashion blogger Jessica Quirk believes that our clothes greatly affect how we feel about ourselves. According to Quirk，"There is joy and luck and confidence in what we wear. " On her blog called "What I wore，" Quirk posts a photo of what she's wearing every day. She says that people should pay more attention to what they wear. For example，we should choose a look that makes us feel more creative and happy. One way to do this at work is to "dress up for the exciting job we want，" she says，"not the boring job we have. " Another way is to wear special clothes that mean something to us. For example，Quirk wears one special pair of shoes to all her important meetings. They are her "lucky" shoes.

As Quirk points out-and as researchers have discovered-our clothes are "like our second skin. " The clothes we wear can affect our behavior. They can also tell the world something about us，without us having to say a word.

1.What do you think Paragraph 2 is mostly about?

A. Descrbing an experiment. B. The opinions of a blogger.

C. A record of two scientists. D. Advice from two scientists.

2.What happened in Galinsky and Adams' experiment? Put the steps into the correct order.

a. participants looked at the words each written in a different color.

b. the researchers counted the correct items.

c. the participants said the colors，not the words.

d. the researchers gave some participants white coats to wear.

A. d，c，a，b B. d，a，c，b C. b，a，c，d D. b，c，a，d

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The clothes we wear can affect how we feel.

B. The clothes we wear should be symbolic.

C. The clothes we wear make us feel more powerful.

D. The clothes we wear can affect what others think of us.

John spent years walking into a supermarket in his neighborhood. There he often waved to a friendly saleswoman. Recently, John got some news. To his surprise, he found the saleswoman in the supermarket was his sister Buddline.

Altogether, John has a brother and three sisters. So far he has found all of them. The children were all given up over 50 years ago by their mother. At that time, their mother lived a very hard life and had to give them to an organization.

One of the children, Deidre found their mother later in life and took care of her until her death last year. Buddline, 56, knew their mother’s name and was found by Deidre after their mother died. One by one, they found all the rest except John. They called the organization, which called John and told him about his family this summer.

When Deidre told him about their other siblings（兄弟姐妹）and showed him Buddline’s picture, John couldn’t believe his eyes because he then knew Buddline was the saleswoman in the supermarket. Soon John and Buddline made up for the lost time they spent as just a customer and a sales woman.

All five siblings met face to face for the first time in October. “I walked in and I was just kind of speechless,” John said. “The conversation got going after a while, but we all just looked at each other and we all look alike.”

In just a matter of weeks, John, who had no kids of his own and lost his adoptive parents（養(yǎng)父母）last year, got four siblings and “at least” ten nieces and nephews. “I gained a huge family,” said John, the eldest sibling.

1.We can know from the text that the five brothers and sisters _______.

A. were found by their mother

B. were helped by a supermarket

C. grew up in different families

D. set up an organization together

2.Who looked after their mother at the end of her life?

A. John B. Deidre C. Buddline D. Nobody

3.How did John feel when he recognized Buddline in the picture?

A. Sad B. Worried C. Angry D. Shocked
