A 15-year-old boy learned a(n)  40 lesson about principles. On his way home he found a 41 that contained  $127 and the owner’s identification.  42 hesitation, he hopped(快速跳) onto his bicycle and went over to the owner’s  43 ---about a mile away.  He told her that he had 44 her wallet and she gave him a big hug and twenty dollars.
That evening the boy told his parents about what had happened. However, his father said, “I don’t think you should have  45 $20 for doing what you should do. A person shouldn’t be  46 for being honest.”.
He thought about his father’s  47 and decided he would return the money.  He returned to the lady’s home and   48 her  back the twenty dollars.  She didn’t want to take it,  but he told her she  49  to ,  for his father pointed out  50 to him that he had never  51 before.

In old times,  man considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries(神秘事物)of nature.  In fact a single flash of lightning 1. 6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million lamps.    
The American scientist, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to suggest that lightning is in fact electricity formed between the earth and clouds high above. It happened in 1752. In the same year, he also built the first lightning rod(避雷針)to protect buildings from being struck by lightnings.    
Modern science has discovered that lightning is very strong and powerful. A lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travels at a speed of 30 million meters per second.  Scientists have the opinion that there are about 2, 000 million flashes of lightning per year. In the United States alone, it kills almost one person per day.     The safest place to be in during an electrical storm is a closed car. Outside, one should go close to low ground for cover and not stop under a tree. Also one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house people should keep away from open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

A common misconception (誤解) -about scholarships is that they are only available for the smartest students with the highest GPAs. However, this just isn't even close to true. There are scholarships out there for every type of student seeking a college education. Let's take a look at each type a bit more in depth.
Academic Scholarships
Academic scholarships are also often referred to as merit (優(yōu)點(diǎn)) scholarships, though a merit scholarship can mean anything that has some level of contest to it. These are fox; the students with the 4.0 GPAs, the years as a part of several extracurricular (課外的) activities and the well- rounded applications. They typically have the highest payouts and are considered very well- known as they are often national awards.
Athletic Scholarships
For students with strong academics (學(xué)業(yè)的) and physical skills, athletic scholarships are the way to go. There is practically a scholarship for every single sport, from volleyball to football; gymnastics to cheerleading. So, if you are good at anything physical, you should definitely pursue an athletic scholarship.
Scholarships for Minorities
There are also many scholarships for minorities available. Some of these are general and for "all minorities as a collective whole, while others are intended for individual ethnic (種族的) groups. It is also a good idea to apply for a minority scholarship if you are part of fully of a certain ethnicity. You will get to represent your culture and possibly win money -- what more could you ask for?
Scholarships for Women
As with the scholarships for minorities above, there are also scholarships specifically for women. Since colleges were dominated (主宰) by men for many years, scholarships have been created for strong, career-minded women that need assistance paying for college expenses. If you are female, it is strongly recommended you pursue a scholarship for women. Moreover, scholarships for women are typically available in just about any field. Be specific!
小題1:In the author's opinion, ______.
A．most people are well - informed about scholarships
B．most people think scholarships should go to the smartest students
C．most people have some misunderstanding about scholarships
D．most people deserve scholarships though not having applied for them
小題2:Tom does well in his lessons and is especially good at sports. The best scholarship he can apply for ______.
A．Academic ScholarshipsB．Athletic Scholarships
C．Scholarships for MinoritiesD．Scholarships for Women
小題3:Alice is an Indian -American. She prefers to study her own culture and something about ethnology (民族學(xué)). Then she'd better apply for ______.
A．Academic Scholarships B．Athletic Scholarships
C．Scholarships for Minorities D．Scholarships for Women
小題4: How many scholarships are intended for all ethnic students?

Have you ever thought of such questions as “Why do I have to study math?”or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an actor. Should I give history up?”
Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it’s not necessary for you to understand everything. But please remember that at school,besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things.
First, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find what you like and what you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future.
Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems.At school, you should practice your brain by thinking.
Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn French at school, but you don’t need to speak French at all.But learning French can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a good job well. At school I learned French well, and now I must be able to learn German. But if you have no confidence, what will happen?
Try to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because it is hard for us to get the highest mark. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greater progress.
小題1:At school you should             .
A．stop learning the subjects you don’t like

小題4:Learning French can help us            .
A．have confidence in learning languages
B．go to France
C．get a good result in the exam
D．make greater progress

Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky （急動(dòng)的）movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span(范圍)or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation (定位)----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
　　Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive (連續(xù)的) fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently (因此), for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated (孤立的) words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
小題1:The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .
A．one’s familiarity with the text
B．one’s purpose in reading
C．the length of a group of words
D．lighting and tiredness
小題2:The author may believe that reading ______.
A．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
B．requires a reader to see words more quickly
C．demands an deeply-participating mind
D．demands more mind than eyes
小題3:What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?
A．The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.
B．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.
C．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.
D．The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.
B．Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.
C．The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.
D．The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.
小題5:The tune of the author in writing this article is ________
A．critical (批評(píng)的)B．neutral (中立的)
C． pessimistic （悲觀的 ）D．optimistic

In a growing number of English classes, teachers are leaving the classic novels on the shelf and letting students select the books they read. Supporters say that the new approach, called reader’s workshop, helps develop a love for reading in students who are bored by classic literature. They argue that the best way to motivate students to read more is to offer them more choices.
Not all educators are on the same page, however. They worry that students who choose trendy, less challenging titles over the classics won’t be exposed to the great writing and key themes of important works of literature.Student reporters Donald and Sarah express their ideas about this new approach.
Donald thinks that we should turn the page. Students should be allowed to select the books they read in English class. He says he and his classmates are allowed to pick their own books in class. That makes them more focused, and they look forward to class time. Tristin, a classmate of his at Clinton Middle School agrees. “I’m reading books that I want to read, which makes class more fun and interesting,” he says. Offering students a choice may also improve test scores. Studies by Professor John Guthrie of the University of Maryland found that students in grades 4 through 6 who had some choices in the books they read showed improved reading comprehension skills during testing. Giving students the chance to decide what they read helps build a lifelong love for reading. Isn’t that what we want for our students?
Sarah holds a different view. She thinks teachers know more about books than students do. When an English teacher assigns a book, he or she keeps in mind the reading level of most students in the class. Students who choose their own books might be cheating themselves by picking books that are not up to their reading level or that are too difficult. Furthermore, a whole class can discuss a book it reads together. That makes it easier for some kids to understand what they are reading. “The students wouldn’t be able to hold a meaningful conversation if they were all reading different books,” says Kristin, an English teacher at Fleetwood Area Middle School. “If they read the same book, their conversations would be more in-depth.”
小題1:What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence “Not all educators are on the same page”?
A．Educators have different opinions.
B．Educators didn’t appear at the same time.
C．Educators wrote in different pages.
D．Educators didn’t agree with the author.
小題2:Donald thinks that the new approach could __________.
A．helped students be more focused in class
B．draw students to reading classic novels
C．make students less worried in English class
D．encourage students to red more challenging books
小題3:Sarah thinks that the new approach might __________.
A．help students improve reading comprehension skills
B．help students hold meaningful conversations in class
C．make some students read books not suitable for them
D．make some students ignore the important works of literature
小題4:Who has the same attitude towards the new approach with Kristin?
A．Donald.B．Sarah.C．Tristin.D．John Guthrie.
小題5:The author develops the text mainly by __________.
A．listing cases
B．making comparisons
C．following time order
D．explaining causes and effects

Seth DeBolt is a plant scientist at the University of Kentucky US. He and other scientists wanted to find a source of fuel that poor people in rural areas of developing countries could use to make electricity.
The United Nations Development Program says a billion and a half people have no electricity. A billion others have an undependable supply.
Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural Indonesia. He saw that there was very little waste in the use of agricultural products. Everything that farmers grew was used for something. Even the remains of fruit that people did not eat were fed to chickens.
Little waste meant there was little that could be used for fuel. Growing a separate fuel crop would take land away from food crops. That was something Professor DeBolt did not want to do.
DeBOLT said, "The people at most risk with respect to energy poverty, typically they're the same people who have food insecurity issues as it is. And then any change in availability would be most damaging to that group of people."
But he found one item that was in plentiful supply and would not create competition between food and fuel. Coconut shells are generally thrown out. Yet Professor DeBolt says it has an "excellent" heating value. All someone needs is a way to release that energy.
DeBolt says he and his team see possibilities for coconut power. "Coconuts are growing here and these are the areas where there is possibility for energy poverty to be eased at least in part by these small-scale production systems."
The researchers say these systems could provide as much as thirteen percent of the energy needs of a country like Indonesia. Other tropical countries with large crops of coconuts and similar fruit could benefit, as well.
But DeBolt says this is not a perfect solution. There are technical questions, like how to safely deal with the dangerous waste produced in the process. And there needs to be money to get these projects started.
小題1:Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural areas of developing countries to      .
A．help farmers make full use of waste
B．seek certain materials to make electricity
C．persuade farmers to grow more coconuts
D．find a suitable place to carry out the experiment
小題2:DeBolt thought it was not a good idea to grow fuel crops because      .
A．there are plenty of coconuts
B．local farmers have no interest in it
C．it would make food problems worse
D．fuel crop has little use for local farmers
小題3:The last two paragraphs mainly tell us that coconut power      .
A．needs further experiments and efforts
B．can help solve energy problem perfectly
C．will cause technique and money problems
D．has drawn Indonesia's government attention
小題4:What might be the best title for the passage?
A．Make Full Use Of CoconutsB．Make Power From Coconuts
C．A Perfect SolutionD．Food And Energy Problems

Since ancient times, people have known about its ability to reduce pain and high body temperature. More than 2000 years ago, the Greek doctor Hippocrates advised his patients to chew on the bark and leaves of the willow.
The tree contains a chemical called salicin（柳醇）. From salicin, researchers in the 1800s discovered how to make salicylic acid（酸）. And in 1897, a chemist named Felix Hoffmann at Friedrich Bayer and Company in Germany created acetyl salicylic acid. Later it became the active substance in a new medicine that Bayer called aspirin. The "a" came from acetyl. The "spir" came from the spirea plant, which also produces salicin. And the "in" Well, that is a common way to end medicine names.
In 1982, a British scientist shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in part for discovering how aspirin works. Sir John Vane found that aspirin blocks the body from making natural substances called prostaglandins（前列腺素）.Prostaglandins have several effects on the body. Some cause pain and the expansion, or swelling（ 腫瘤; 膨脹）, of damaged tissue. Others protect the lining of the stomach and small intestine. Prostaglandins also make the heart, kidneys and blood vessels （血管）work well. But there is a problem. Aspirin works against all prostaglandins, good and bad. Scientists learned how aspirin interferes with an enzyme（酶）. One form of this enzyme makes the prostaglandin that causes pain and swelling. Another form of the enzyme creates a protective effect. So aspirin can reduce pain and swelling in damaged tissues. But it can also harm the inside of the stomach and small intestine（腸）.
小題1:What sickness can the medicine from the willow deal with according to the passage?
A．ColdB．ToothacheC．CancerD．Skin disease
小題2:What can we know about Prostaglandin according to the passage?
A．It results from pain.
B．It prevents the lining of the stomach and small intestine.
C．It causes blood vessels to work wrongly.
D．It is sometimes good but sometimes bad.
小題3:What can we know about aspirin according to the passage?
A．Aspirin can treat almost diseases.
B．Aspirin can create the protective enzyme.
C．Aspirin can harm the inside of the stomach and small intestine.
D．Aspirin can protect the inside of the stomach and small intestine.
