Starting high school means many changes in your life. Most teenagers look forward to the first day of high school, but still feel a little bit nervous. In order to make your high school life easier, you can follow these tips.
Learn all you can about your first day before the first day. Take part in some activities that are held at the school for new students to know the school better. If parents are invited to these activities, take yours with you. Carefully look over all the materials you receive. Be sure you know where the school’s buildings are.
Get the things you will need for class. Buy the things suggested on your teachers’ supply lists and place your materials for each class separately.
Keep up with your high school workload（工作量）. If you find you’re not doing well in a subject, make use of after-school study groups or ask your teacher to help you with your schoolwork. Consider private tutoring to get you through a difficult time.
There’re more extracurricular（課外的）activities in high school than in middle school, such as clubs, music and theater groups, student government, and sports teams. Make friends and be seen at such school activities. Join a club or other organizations to meet people and develop friendships. Ask someone in school activities if you don’t know how. This is a good time to do what you like doing and an opportunity to try new things. Who said school has to be all work and no play?
Since you’ll attend more activities in high school than in middle school, you’ll have to learn how to manage you time…

Which animal has the fastest snapping jaw (顎)? If you're guessing a shark or perhaps a larger animal, you'll have to think smaller. The trap­jaw ant, which lives in Central and South America, moves its mouth parts at 35 to 63 meters per second. Another way to think about this is that the ant's jaws close at 125 to 233 kilometers per hour. That's 2, 300 times faster than the blink of an eye.
Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using high­speed video techniques. Sheila Patek, a biologist, says the key is that the jaws have a springy (有彈性的) system, which is critical in getting explosive (爆發(fā)性的) speeds.
Consider a bow and arrow. If you try to throw an arrow with your arm, it won't go very far. If you use a bow, elastic energy stored in the bow is released almost instantly when you release the arrow with your finger or a latch. The combination of the springy bow and latch mechanism is what makes the arrow zoom through the air.
Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move. As the ant closes its jaws, it uses them to push off the ground—all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video. A snap of the jaw can send an ant up to 8.3 centimeters into the air. That's like someone who is 1.7 meters jumping 13 meters high! Not only can they quickly escape from enemies, but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once. It would be hard for their enemies to grab just one.
People have suspected the ants used their jaws to jump for over a century, but could only prove it with today's modern video equipment.
小題1:The fast speed of the trap­jaw ant's jaw lies in ________.
A．its light body
B．its springy system
C．its living environment
D．the length of its jaw
小題2:The passage uses “a bow and arrow” as an example to show ________.
A．how an arrow gets so much energy to fly
B．why the trap­jaw ants have springy system
C．why the trap­jaw ants jaws move so fast
D．how a bow and arrow works
小題3:Which of the following may amaze the scientists most?
A．How high the ants can leap by using their jaws.
B．How quickly the trap­jaw ants can move on the ground.
C．How wonderfully the springy system in the trap­jaw ants' jaws works.
D．How quickly the trap­jaw ants can grab food or enemies.
小題4:According to the passage, the trap­jaw ants' jaws keep them safe because ________.
A．they can catch their enemies easily with their jaws
B．their jaws make them difficult to recognize
C．their jaws help them find food easily
D．their jaws help them escape from their enemies

Psychologists(心理學(xué)家) have known that what's going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Professor Remi Radel wanted to investigate(look into) how this happens -- whether it's right away, as the brain receives signals from the eyes, or a little later, as the brain's higher-level thinking processes get involved.
Radel chose 42 students and each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating on the day of the test. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.
For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word, the person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they'd seen -- a food-related word like gateau (cake) or a neutral (中性的) word like bateau (boat).
Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception (直覺), Radel says—it's not because of some kind of processing happening in the brain after you've already figured out what you're looking at.
"This is something great to me, that humans can really realize what they need or what they hope for, to know that our brain can really arrange for our motives and needs," Radel says. "There is something inside us that selects information in the world to make life easier.”
小題1:The purpose of Radel's research is to let us know ____.
A．how our thinking has effect on our senses happens
B．what it is the good time for students to have lunch
C．whether poorer children think coins are larger than they are
D．whether hungry people think pictures of food are brighter
小題2:In the experiment 20 words that flashed on the screen had something to do with “____”.
A．boatB．food C．mind D．weather
小題3:Which of the following is true about the experiment?
A．The students should stare at the words in the book.
B．Each word appeared slowly in order that the participant could read it exactly.
C．After each word flashed on the screen, the person was asked to finish two tasks.
D．On the day of the test, all the students were very hungry because of the delay of their lunch.
小題4:What does the new study find?
A．Actually our brain can arrange for our motives and needs.
B．In the experiment the brain was totally controlled by the senses.
C．People who had just eaten saw all the words more clearly than hungry people.
D．The participants saw the words look different long after the brain dealt with the information.

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．
People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace．We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job．If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing（裁員）．After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team．
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.   71  Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.   72 
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.    73  If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
   74  Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.    75  At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
B．Everyone was new to the network once.
C．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
D．When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
E. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
F. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
G. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

A villa (別墅) designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks to nanotechnology (納米技術(shù)) applications with self-healing polymers (聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls will include special particles that turn into a liquid when squeezed (壓榨) under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material.
The NanoManufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by December 2010. The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Buildings” (ISSB) is funded under the EU’s Sixth Framework program. This potentially life-saving scheme is led by German building manufacturer Knauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant（防震）homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time. Wireless sensors(傳感器) will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas levels.
The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board. Prof Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape. If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the ruins to pick out where the embedded（嵌入的）sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed. Also, we can get information about anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue.”
小題1:The aim of the passage is to ________.
A．report a piece of interesting news
B．promote tremor-resistant homes
C．inform us of the nanotechnology development
D．tell us something about a tremor-resistant home
小題2:The villa can resist earthquakes because _______.
A．it will be built on a special place
B．the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymers
C．the special particles can make its walls stronger
D．the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack
小題3:If the tremor-resistant home falls down, _______.
A．rescue work can be done more quickly and accurately
B．the intelligent sensor network will stop working
C．no one can be hurt in the earthquake
D．a(chǎn) warning signal will be given to other residents
小題4:What Prof Wilkins said suggests that _______.
A．he is doubtful about the project
B．he thinks the tremor-resistant home is perfectly designed
C．he is confident in the tremor-resistant home
D．the tremor-resistant home still needs to be tested in a real situation
小題5:It can be inferred from the passage that tremor-resistant home _______.
A．is still being tried out
B．is already under construction
C．has been in wide use
D．will be put into wide use soon

Have you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts, but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves, bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks(樹皮) of trees.
An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.
小題1:This passage mainly talks about ______.
A．the change of color in locusts
B．the protective coloration of animals and pests
C．how a certain sea fish protects itself
D．a(chǎn)nimals or pests can dye themselves different colors
小題2:Locusts are ______ but they aren’t easily wiped out(消滅)by their enemies because _______.
A．a(chǎn)nimals; they are powerful enough
B．beasts; they are dangerous to their enemies
C．pests; they take on the same colors as crops
D．birds; they fly very fast
小題3:What does the underlined word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．can’t be seenB．can be seenC．can’t moveD．can’t change
