One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I   1  the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked   2  the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old,   3  freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short   4 . The boy had a big smile on his face   5  he had just been set free from some sort of   6 . The boy would then fall to the grass,   7 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could again, still with a   8  on his face.   
Kids, when they fall down, don't view their falling down as failure, but   9 , they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they   10 . While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was   11  touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so   12  and so natural — no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only   13  was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a   14  — just being himself—being completely in the moment. He was not looking for   15  or was not worrying about whether   16  was watching. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him   17  and that it would be   18  if he did fall. No, all that   19  to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that   20  and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits（追求) in life.

Once upon a time, on an isolated island in the Java sea, lived short people who dominated(支配, 占優(yōu)勢(shì)) the food chain. Standing no more than three and a half feet tall, these human ancestors hunted giant rats, lumbering lizards（笨拙的蜥蜴), and miniature elephants.  
It sounds a bit like a fairy tale, but it's true. Unearthed relics on the island uncovered the remains of a race of tiny human ancestors. Homo floresiensis, as the newly discovered species has been named, apparently could date back to 13,000 years ago. This means they have a lot in common with modern humans.
So how and why did these people get so small? Scientists suspect that it's due to the fact that this race lived on an isolated island with limited resources. Take the miniature elephants for example. When elephants first came to the island either by swimming or by some kind of natural land raft, they were probably close to full size. But since there wasn't much to eat, over time smaller elephants lived longer and better. The smaller the elephant was, the less it had to eat to stay strong and healthy.
Scientists call this the "island role", and it can apply to humans as well as animals. Given the island's sparse(稀少) food supply, it makes sense that the early humans living there would have evolved (進(jìn)化) a body size requiring less food to survive. So bigger isn't always better.
In the floresiensis, at least, getting smaller was the way to go.
小題1:According to the passage, the fact Homo floresiensis are very small is based on________.
A．the islanders in the Java SeaB．the human ancestors
C．the unearthed relicsD．a(chǎn) newspaper report
小題2: The underlined word "miniature" in the first paragraph most probably means______.
A．tinyB．a(chǎn)ctiveC．rareD．wild
小題3:People on the island got so small because____________.
A．they did not have enough food to eat.
B．they gradually developed for lack of food.
C．they shared less food with elephants.
D．they remained alive as the elephants.
小題4: What might be the most suitable title of the passage?
A．The history of short people
B．Short people from a fairy tale
C．The proofs on short people
D．Short people on an isolated island
小題5:According to the passage, getting smaller can make people and animals ____
A．run quicklyB．live longerC．live weakerD．run slowly

Do you want to have a close friend? Do you know how to make a good friend? Now, let me tell you. Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (聳肩) for an answer.
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.
小題1:What does the underlined word scared( in para.2) mean?
A．holyB．frighteningC．happyD．sad
小題2:The main idea is _________.
A．how to start a conversationB．how to praise a person
C．how to make friendsD．the importance of making friends
小題3:What kind of people are easy to become friends?
A．who are happy every day.B．who often speak ill of others.
C．who are good at communicating .D．who share the same interest.
小題4:If a person shrug , what does he/she mean?
A．being very proudB．making no answer
C．being very happyD．be humorous
小題5:Most people enjoy talking to one _______.
A．who speaks highly of themB．who are very out-going.
C．who is always smilingD．who points out their shortcomings

Dear Editor,
I have just returned home after studying for a year in Germany. But it seems that my parents don’t understand me now. They expect me to be the same person I was before I went abroad, but I’m not! Why can’t they let me be myself?
Jimmy
Hi, Jimmy,
As far as I know, people who have lived abroad often find that the adjustment （調(diào)整） to returning home is more difficult than their adjustment to living in a foreign culture. Why? We expect to have some problems when we go to a new place, speak a different language and learn the rules of a different culture ... But home? ... we know that place!
Your parents expect that the same person who boarded the airplane one year ago will be returning. Especially if they have never been abroad themselves, your parents probably won’t understand the changes that living abroad can cause in a person. On the other hand, you may have maintained (保持) an ideal mental image of your loved ones while abroad, an image that is broken into pieces when you return.
Remember you have been living a different lifestyle in your host country, and you have probably become very independent while staying there alone. Now that you’re home, you will be expected to conform （順應(yīng)） again to the lifestyle of your family. As a result, you may be upset about your parents’ involvement in your life.
Communication is the key to overcoming this problem. Tell your parents how you are feeling. Share with them information about cultural re-entry（重歸）, and ask them to be patient. This does not mean that you have to forget your experience and give up everything you’ve learned! Learn to find a balance between the old and new, just as you did when first adjusting to your host country’s culture.
小題1:What is Jimmy’s main purpose in writing the letter?
A．To criticize his parents.
B．To ask for advice about his studies.
C．To complain about his parents.
D．To ask for help.
小題2:What does the editor think of Jimmy’s problem?
A．It’s unusual.B．It’s normal. C．It’s serious.D．It’s interesting.
小題3:The editor thinks that both Jimmy and his parents ______.
A．have changed in the past year
B．have unrealistic expectations of each other
C．need to behave like they did before
D．need to find a balance between the good and bad
小題4:The author suggests that ______ would help solve Jimmy’s problem.
A．patience and trust
B．patience and politeness
C．better communication between family members
D．a(chǎn) deeper understanding of the host country’s culture

I got interested in the idea of standing desks about a year ago. The health advantages of standing instead of sitting for eight hours a day are clear, so when the company Ergotron invited me to review their WorkFit C-Mod Dual Desk, I jumped out of my chair---really.
After several hours putting the desk together, I finally got to try it out. The standing desk had a desktop that I could use for writing.
At first I absolutely loved it. Standing during the day instead of sitting was fantastic. Although I felt more tired after all that standing during the day, I knew the health benefits were worth the slight discomfort. However, after the initial novelty (新奇)of the desk wore off, I realized that I could not use it in the long term.
It was just not practical. While using the desk for a month , I could definitely foresee problems arising from using it full time.
I enjoy having a lot of things on my desk. The standing desk just did not have enough room for all of my things.
I can easily foresee awkward situations when I put that desk in an office space. When someone comes into your office, does your guest have to stand as well? If you office is big enough, maybe you have room for two chairs for you and a visitor, which is great. Yet for the ordinary worker in a small office, the standing desk creates a very awkward situation.
Additionally, the amount of money I would have to spend to replace my current workspace with a standing desk was another issue. The desks I have looked at were highly expensive.
Yes, spending the day standing can offset(抵消) many of the negative effects of too much sitting, but we humans are designed for movement. Through activity changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, you can easily increase the time you spend on your feet. Best of all, those options are completely free.
小題1:When the author was asked to try the standing desk out, he was ____.
A．excitedB．surprisedC．unhappyD．uninterested
小題2:When first using the standing desk, the author ___.
A．thought it was boringB．thought it was wonderful
C．felt less tired than usualD．felt quite uncomfortable
小題3:According to the author, a standing desk ____.
A．takes up too much spaceB．is suitable for long-term use
C．is cheaper than traditional desksD．is impractical though good for health
小題4:What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
A．How to use the standing desk.B．What he does during the workday.
C．His opinion on the standing desk.D．The advantage of the standing desk.

The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假貨), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.
Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (聯(lián)歡晚會(huì)), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.
“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous.
In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.
A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the“Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.
To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (動(dòng)力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.
小題1:The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ______.
A．Spring Festival GalaB．electronic products
C．fake cell-phones D．Olympic buildings
小題2:According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ______.
A．the action that a person imitates famous people
B．products with poor techniques and quality
C．those similar names to famous brands
D．a(chǎn)nything that imitates something famous
小題3:We can infer that the mainstream culture ______.
A．may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture
B．is the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture
C．will be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture
D．is held back by “Shanzhai” culture
