Moving to a new neighborhood，town，state，or even country can be a pretty scary  experience.All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won’t know the kids  at your new school.
The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried.This is perfectly normal but don’t let these emotions overrun your thoughts！You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.
Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult.However，as you begin the moving process，keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house，school，and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent！If you’re moving to a new state or even a different country and won’t see your friends for a long nme，don’t despair.Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters.Also，thanks to the  Internet，it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies.With  your parent’s permission，you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new  experiences.Include your thoughts，tales of your new adventures，even pictures of new friends，your new house，and new town.Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.
Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week.This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.
While moving is tough on kids of any age，high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens.“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience，especially if you are into your junior high or senior year.Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives.Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases，and when they are torn from that there’s often resentment (怨氣)．” However，Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy，there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.

The Cambodian government says more than 378 people died and hundreds more were injured in a stampede(踩踏)during the celebrations of the annual Water Festival late Monday in Phnom Penh.

Less than 24 hours after the tragedy(悲劇), Cambodia’s most serious loss of life in decades(十年), the government founded an organization to investigate(調(diào)查)how so many died on what was meant to be one of the nation’s most joyous occasions.
Most of the victims(犧牲品)were young people in their teens and twenties. They were some of the estimated(估計(jì))two million who had flooded to Phnom Penh for the Water Festival, which marks the end of the rainy season.
Most suffocated on the bridge, which thousands of people were using to leave Diamond Island, an entertainment(娛樂(lè))area in the middle of the river. Others drowned(溺水)after jumping from the bridge into the water.
Buot Panha, 19, said shortly after 9: 30 on Monday evening he ended up trapped(圍困)with his friends in the middle of the bridge, fighting to breathe while terrified people struggled all around him.
Being tall saved his life, since he could stretch(伸出)his neck to take in oxygen(氧氣). Shorter people were unable to do that, he says, which may be why two-thirds of the victims were women.
He tried to help a woman who was trapped with two children near him. She was screaming for people to help. Being tall, Buot Panha grabbed(抓住)one child and pushed him above the crowd to help him breathe.
But then some of the young men were told to jump off the bridge into the river to make room. So he handed back the child, squirmed his way to the edge, and jumped.
Some like Buot Panha were fortunate, jumping into the river below and swimming for the shore. But many simply could not move, and died where they lay.
Buot Panha says his first Water Festival will be his last. He vows(發(fā)誓)never to come back.
【小題1】The passage is mainly about　　　.

A．Water Festival celebrations
B．a(chǎn) stampede in Cambodia
C．a(chǎn) teenager, Buot Panha
D．a(chǎn) woman and her children
【小題2】What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A．It is the biggest tragedy in decades in Cambodia.
B．It is the most serious loss of life in decades in Cambodia.
C．The government ordered an investigation.
D．Water Festival is Cambodia’s most joyous occasion.
【小題3】The underlined word “suffocated” (in Paragraph 4)probably means　　　.
A．breathed in
B．felt uncomfortable
C．died from too little oxygen
D．left in a hurry
【小題4】Which of the following is TRUE about Buot Panha according to the passage?
A．His being tall saved him in the river.
B．He struggled through the crowd to save one child.
C．It was his first time to attend the Water Festival alone.

Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The Manhattan High Line is different. Raised 25 feet above the ground, this massive metal structure once supported a rail line. The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories and warehouses. It was hardly used after the 1960s, and much of it was torn down. However, one section remained in an area of Manhattan called Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming more and more valuable as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.
But the High Line was not destroyed. In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city. It holds an elevated park, with beautiful gardens, a sidewalk and great views of the city. The idea to change the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they attended a community meeting to decide the fate(命運(yùn)) of the High Line. David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the structure for its historical significance. Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line, they saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city, and they realized that the High Line had potential to become a park. There was growing interest in improving urban centers, and so the project quickly won support and funds for construction were easily obtained.
The first section of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike. Each part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like balconies (陽(yáng)臺(tái))with wonderful city views. Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are thickly planted. Other sections have wide walkways planted with wild flowers. Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years – a railway line overgrown with weeds.
【小題1】The underlined phrase “a dead weight” in Paragraph 1 means_____.

A．something with potential to be better.
B．something with historical interest.
C．something which is a danger to people.
D．something useless which slows progress.
【小題2】According to Paragraph 2, David and Hammond wanted to save the High Line because they_____.
A．thought it had historical value
B．wanted to reopen the train line
C．thought it would bring them money
D．were interested in improving the city
【小題3】From the last paragraph, we can learn that the park ______.
A．is different in its design
B．is covered with trees
C．didn’t change at all
D．became a natural countryside
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT true about the High Line?
A．It is situated above ground level.
B．Only part of the line remains.
C．It is now a popular park.
D．Trains still use the line.

Can you believe everything that you read? It seems as if every day, some new articles come out about a new discovery about this or that. For example, water is bad for you, or good for you. The answer depends on which scientific study has just come out. People cannot decide which food items are healthy, how pyramids were constructed, and why dinosaurs disappeared. When we look for answers we sometimes can believe persuasive researches and scientists. But how trustworthy are they really? Here are two examples of scientific hoaxes (騙局).
As far back as 1726, Johann Beringer was fooled by his fellow scientists into thinking he had made an amazing discovery. The fossils of spiders, lizards, and even birds with the name of God written on them in Hebrew were unlike anything that had been found before. He wrote several papers on them and was famous for those only to have it revealed that they were planted by jealous colleagues to ruin his reputation.
When an early human being was discovered in 1912, scientists at this time were wild with excitement over the meaning it had for the theory of evolution. There were hundreds of papers about this Piltdown man over the next fifty years until it was finally discovered to be a complex hoax. The skull (頭骨) of a man had been mixed with the jawbone of an orangutan (猩猩) to make the ape (猿) man.
The next time you read the exciting new findings of a study of the best scientist, do not automatically assume that it is true. Even qualified people can get it wrong. While we certainly should not ignore scientific research, we do need to take it with a grain of salt. Just because it is accepted as the truth today does not mean it will still be trustworthy tomorrow.
【小題1】What does Paragraph 1 want to say?

A．Researchers and scientists are not perfect.
B．Something that we read may not be true.
C．Researchers and scientists know everything.
D．People don’t know whether water is good or bad.
【小題2】What is the reason why Johann Beringer was fooled?
A．His fellow scientists wanted to make fun of him.
B．His workmates are eager to become famous too.
C．These scientists made a mistake because of carelessness.
D．His colleagues envied him and did so to destroy his fame.
【小題3】The excited scientists thought that this Piltdown man ______.
A．was in fact a complex hoax
B．was a great scientific invention
C．contributed to the theory of evolution
D．had the skull like that of an ape
【小題4】What does the underlined phrase “with a grain of salt” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Happily.B．Generally.C．Doubtfully.D．Completely.
【小題5】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Hebrew is probably a kind of language.
B．Truths of science will never be out of time.
C．People believe scientists because they are persuasive.
D．We are advised to believe famous scientists.

When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
【小題1】Jack brought the couple their food very fast because[_______________.

A．the manager asked him to do so B．he respected the elderly
C．the couple wanted him to do so D．he wanted more pay
【小題2】When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became[____________.
A．nervous B．satisfied
C．unhappy D．excited
【小題3】In Jack’s hometown,______________.
A．people dislike being called “old”
B．people are proud of being old
C．many people reach the age of seventy or eighty

A．lost his job in the restaurant

Finding true happiness is a universal aspiration (渴望). We all want it, but can we all have it? Genuine happiness is written all over our faces when we are truly contented, and, likewise, a forced smile does nothing to hide underlying sadness.
Believing that everyone can create their own lasting joy, Matthieu Richard has been declared the Happiest Man in the World. Richard earned his “happiest man” status after a series of laboratory tests in 2004. Richard has shared his thoughts on happiness with a worldwide audience. As an experienced speaker, he has explained his insights into happiness to everyone, from students to corporate groups. Looking inwards to find joy rather than relying on outer conditions, he believes, is the way to achieve well-being.
“It’s quite clear that the outer conditions are not enough. The way we interpret those outer conditions in our inner experience is what determines either a sense of well-being or misery. We love to go jogging for fitness and we do all kinds of things to remain beautiful, yet we spend surprisingly little time taking care of what matters most: the way our minds function. It’s the essential thing that determines the quality of our experience.” Besides this, Richard stresses that it is not what’s happening around us that makes us unhappy, but rather the way we choose to react to it.
The pursuit of happiness is becoming a modern obsession（癡迷）. As life becomes more complex, our ability to process our reactions to various outside influences comes under strain. “Genuine happiness” he says, “doesn’t mean pleasant feelings one after the other. It’s more like a series of qualities that we can develop as skills — like openness, genuine love, compassion, inner strength and inner peace.” 
【小題1】Richard has been declared the Happiest Man in the World _______.

A．because he has shared his thoughts on happiness with a worldwide audience
B．a(chǎn)fter he has explained his insights into happiness to everyone
C．a(chǎn)fter a series of laboratory tests
D．because he tries his best to achieve happiness and well-being
【小題2】According to Richard, what is the best way to achieve well-being?
A．Interpreting those outer conditions in our inner experience.
B．Looking inwards to find joy rather than relying on outer conditions.
C．Spending little time taking care of what matters most.
D．Reacting to various outside influences in the modern world.
【小題3】What determines the quality of our experience?
A．The way our minds react to outer conditions.
B．Insights into happiness that we hold.
C．The constant pursuit of happiness in our life.
D．Those outer conditions affecting our happiness.
【小題4】How can we pursuit happiness?
A．Go jogging for happiness.
B．Do everything to remain beautiful.
C．Make sure that our minds are functioning normally.
