Many older brothers and sisters have an irritating (惱人的) tendency to take charge, a habit   21   while growing up. We can easily see this pattern in Martha, the older sister of Mary and Lazarus. She had a strong   22   to do everything exactly right and was   23  to being in control.
The fact that Martha, Mary, and Lazarus are remembered for their hospitality takes on added significance when we note that hospitality was a social requirement in their culture. It was considered   24   to turn anyone away from your door.   25  Martha’s family met this requirement very well.
Martha worried about details. She wished to   26  , to serve, to do the right thing, but she often succeeded in making everyone around her uncomfortable. Perhaps as the oldest she feared shame if her home didn’t measure up to   27 . She tried to do everything she could to make sure that wouldn’t happen. As a result, she found it hard to relax and enjoy her guests and even   28   to accept Mary’s lack of cooperation in all the preparations. Martha’s frustration (挫折感) was so intense that she finally asked Jesus to settle the matter. He gently corrected her attitude and told her that getting caught up in   29   can make us forget the main reasons for our actions. In fact, the personal attention she gave her guests should be more important than the   30  she tried to provide for them.

                         Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心課程), but with a difference.While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class.Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力).In this way,kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.
Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum.In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E.on the chopping block(砧板), cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids.The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard."Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support.Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be.They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野)than when they played sports.The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school.The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood.
小題1:According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?
A.Lift weightsB.Climb a rope
C.CycleD.Have a balanced diet
小題2:What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P.E.on the chopping block”?
A.Schools do not pay enough attention to P.E..
B.Schools welcome P.E.but do not have time for it.
C.Schools put P.E.in the first place.
D.Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P.E..
小題3:Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?
A.More teenagers are overweight.
B.Traditional group sports teaching is not effective.
C.Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life.
D.Phys ed programs need less money to support.
小題4:How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?
A.TwoB.ThreeC.FourD.One
小題5:What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model?
A.The Phys ed teaches group sports.
B.The Phys ed provides more fitness programs.
C.The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life.
D.The Phys ed has more support from the government.

Jascha Richter once sang “don't need too much talking without saying anything” to reveal his lonely feeling in a crowd.
Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network.
It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.
Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she's in need, either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty, I would have some rewards—at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender(性別).
Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE in a foreign land and such an experience actually makes us learn how to extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.
All are friends around me. I've looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing. THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don't say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.
But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.
“Standing on a mountain high
Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
I should go and see some friends         
But they don't really comprehend”
Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.
67. 小題1:What do we know about the writer’s father according to this passage?
A.He is really a good philosopher.
B.He possibly gets on well with others.
C.He told the writer to reveal her true opinions.

68. 小題2:What’s the most probable reason the writer mentions Jascha Richter’s song twice in the passage?
A.She likes Jascha Richter’s song.
B.Jascha Richter is one of her friends.
C.The song expresses her feelings.
D.She uses it to perfects her article.
69. 小題3:Which of the following statements about the writer is TRUE?
A.She is now living abroad but doesn’t enjoy the life there.
B.She absolutely believes in her father’s philosophy.
C.She shows a positive attitude towards her relationship with others.

Whether you’re taking a trip alone or with your family, it’s easier to get sick when you’re in a new place because your body hasn’t had a chance to adjust to the food, water, and air in a new environment. Read the following tips on keeping your travel experience as healthy as possible.
Safe foods and drinks
What foods are safe to eat? Foods that have been boiled are generally safe, as well as fruits and vegetables that have to be peeled before eating. Avoid eating uncooked or undercooked meat.
Stay away from foods that require a lot of handling before serving.
Drink only bottled water when traveling. If you have to use the tap water, you should boil it first.
You can take it with you
When you’re packing, taking some painkiller and diarrhea medicine is a good idea. It’s also a good idea to pack some allergy (過敏) medicine even if you don’t take it at home, because people sometimes unexpectedly develop allergic reactions in a new environment.
Write it all down
Before you leave your sweet home, create a medical history form that includes the following information:
your name, address, and home phone number as well as a parent’s daytime phone number
your blood typea list of any ongoing health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, or AIDS a list of current medicines you are taking a list of allergies to medicine, food, insects, and animals the name, address, and phone number of a relative other than your parent It also helps if you have some basic emergency medical knowledge, not only for yourself but also for helping others you may be traveling with.

Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different. But what are those differences?
Hu Peng from Wuhan and four of his friends decided to find out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his Junior l classmates went door to door in Caidian and asked kids lots of questions. They want to learn more about village kids' everyday lives, so they asked questions like this: Do your parents teach you how to do the housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.
On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about many differences between children's lives in cities and those of children in villages. The biggest difference is about independence. Hu's team found that 60 percent of city kids can't do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they care about schoolwork a lot, and they have no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they help their parents a lot : cooking, cleaning the houses and feeding pigs. Hu's team  also found that village kids have less pocket money. Many have never used computers. They like playing in rivers or on mountains. Some don't even like to make new friends.
Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self- confidence (自信) because they have done something by themselves. But it also worried them a bit because they found they still have a lot to learn. "When we grow up, our parents can't take care of us," Hu said. "We have to learn to take care of ourselves. "  Shen Guanquan, one of Hu's friends said, "When people learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of difficult things. "

第一節(jié):閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
The other day, I bought six packages of ink for my printer, then I found a deal on better ink at the local computer store, so I went back to the $1 Store to exchange the ink for some other items.
I put the ink into a plastic bag and tied it up. When at the store, I immediately showed the bag to a clerk and told her that I was returning some items, but she was obviously very busy. Then without thinking much, I just put the bag into a cart and started shopping.
I was making my way through the crowd when a female employee suddenly yelled to stop me. I was told not to be allowed to carry a plastic bag of items around in the store and my bag should be checked.
I was astonished. There was no need for her to yell. I opened the bag and showed her the receipt. “I’m returning these to exchange for some other items,” I said.
“You should learn how to follow store regulations. Leave this bag here with the clerk. You can have it back when you check out”.
I was embarrassed and did as told to. I felt like a shoplifter. By the time I had finished shopping and exchanged the items, I was angry and then went looking for her. I wanted an apology. I found her finally and asked what her name was. She yelled at me again, “Ursula!” and stormed away.
Having got home, I called the store’s headquarters. I described my unpleasant experience. A customer service representative responded, “We will not tolerate such behavior. Give me your phone number and I will call you back.”
Two days later, I received a phone call from the representative, “I’m sorry,” she said, “but there is no one at that store named Ursula. Can you describe her? I’ll find out who she is. We do not tolerate rude behavior, nor do we tolerate lying to customers.”
By this time, I had calmed down, so I told the representative to forget about it.

My mother-in-law, Dorothy, is showing me the red notebook that’s almost as precious to her as my husband’s baby pictures. Inside the notebook is a list of the books she has read since 2007. For some people waking up in the middle of the night is a terrible thing. But for my mother-in-law, that time is a gift. At 87, she is getting the education she never had by working her way through great literature. She has now read close to 100 books, including every single novel by Anthony Trollope, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, Henry James and Thomas Mann.
My mother-in-law discusses her passion with the enthusiasm of a young girl, although she can also be a very tough critic, writing “VG’ for “ very good” in the margins next to her favorites. So far, only a handful of books have received the top prize.
Born in Ridgefield, Conn, Dorothy was the youngest daughter of an Italian gardener. She taught herself English by reading The New York Times. Eager to come to Manhattan, she became a nurse, married a dentist and spent the next several decades keeping the house and raising a family.

There were many trips to the emergency room in the middle of the night and then a long hospital stay. She stayed awake to watch over him for 15 hours a day. Always a light sleeper, she developed sleeplessness as a result of the stress.
It worsened after he died. Deeply sad and lonely for the first time in her life, she began waking up around 2am. Julian and Sylvia, the elderly couple next door suggest she read literature. And so Julian, a great lover of literature, became her “professor”, providing books from his large library. Suddenly the terrifying hole turned onto a world of amazing characters.

If you thought sports stars Yao Ming and Liu Xiang or Internet entrepreneurs Zhang Chaoyang and Ding Lei would automatically be on the list of the” Men of Our Time”,then you could be behind the times.

”Gentlemen get more respect in our society.They should be like those in the movie Titanic,who let women and children lave first in life rafts!県e told China Daily.
Shi Hua shan,a 48-year-old policeman in Gui xi of Jiangxi Province,said that he became a”man in the eyes of women” because” women love stories of heroes saving beauties".
His team has rescued more than 180 women who were taken away by force and sold as wives in the mountain regions of Fujian Province.
Some other” Men of Our Time” are:
Lang Jinghe,67,gynecologist at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing,who has made breakthroughs in ovarian cancer;

If you' re feeling stressed, rather than wallow (沉迷) in watching television, try looking out of the window, with a US study finding scenes of nature can ease off minor stress levels.
Researchers at the Human Interaction with Nature and Technological Systems Lab at the University of Washington set out to look at whether nature, either the real thing or the one depicted (描述) technologically, can impact on minor stress levels.The study involved measuring people' s heart recovery rates from minor stress when they were exposed to a natural scene through a window and when exposed to the same scene shown on a high-definition plasma (等離子) screen, or a blank wall.
"The heart rates of people who looked at the scene through the window dropped more quickly than the others.In fact, the high-definition plasma screen had no more effect than the blank wall," the researchers said in a statement.They also found that when people spent more time looking at the natural scene their heart rates tended to decrease more.That was not the case with the plasma screen.
The study, involving 90 college students, is published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology."Technology is good and it can help our lives, but let' s not be fooled into thinking we can live without nature," Peter Kahn, who led the research team, said in a statement.He said people were losing direct experiences with nature and instead experiencing nature represented technologically through television and other media with children growing up watching Discovery Channel and Animal
Planet."But as a species we need interaction with actual nature for our physical and psychological well-being," he said.
