    An English saying goes: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” That means we should relax after a day’s hard work or we’ll be unhealthy.
    Many students know that if they want to get ideal jobs with good salaries, they must do well in high school so they can enter good universities. Therefore, they spend all day studying without time to relax.
    However, not all students can go to top universities even if they work very hard. Students are pressurized by parents and teachers who are just concerned about their studies and exam scores while ignoring their hobbies and individual differences. As a result, students are forces to work harder and harder. Furthermore, there is pressure coming from students themselves. They realize they have a slim chance of getting into a top university as competition is fierce. So, they put a lot of stress on themselves and stay in a nervous state day after day. If they keep it up,   they’ll suffer illnesses; both psychological and physical.
    What students need is relaxation. This doesn’t mean that they should give up their ambitions and stop studying hard. It means “work while you work, play while you play”. If you can do this, you will improve your health greatly. You’ll feel yourself suddenly fresh, just like recovering from a terrible illness. You’ll find that your studies are not a burden(负担) anymore.
    小题1:The underlined part in the first paragraph might mean all the following EXCEPT______.
    A．too much work may bring trouble to anyone
    B．overwork without rest is sure to make one foolish
    C．Jack becomes dull because he works too much
    D．Anyone who doesn’t work will break down
    小题2:What trouble have both the parents and teachers brought to the students?
    A．They don’t know how to let the students relax.
    B．They give too much burden for them to bear.
    C．They don’t love those who work the hardest.
    D．They fail to understand what the students need most.
    小题3:What causes the student’ pressure from themselves?
    A．That they don’t know how to get top universities.
    B．That they want to relax but have no chance.
    C．That they fail to relax themselves during their work.
    D．That they think too much about the result of their work.
    小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．What to do to relax yourself.
    B．The serous situation for the poor students.
    C．Some problems caused by the misunderstanding of learning.
    D．How to be a healthy and successful learner.

    小题1:D
    小题2:B
    小题3:C
    小题4:D

    小题4:主旨题：从全文的内容：可知这篇文章讲的是因为父母和老师的压力和来自自身的压力，很多学生一直学习，不会放松，这样做其实会适得其反，甚至会危机学生的健康，文章介绍如何成为一个健康成功的学习者，选D

    Many women write to me perplexed(困惑的) about why they can't form close friendships.They try new approaches，put themselves in all the right places，see therapists，and read relevant self­help books.They consider themselves interesting，loyal，kind，and friend­worthy people.But for reasons unknown to them，they have a tough time forming intimate relationships.Many admit to not having even one close friend.
    A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology offers some clues as to how both nature(personality) and nurture (experience) impact our friendships.Researchers at the University of Virginia and University of Toronto，Mississauga studied more than 7,000 American adults between the ages of 20 and 75 over a period of ten years，looking at the number of times these adults moved during childhood.Their study，like prior ones，showed a link between residential mobility and adult well­being：The more  times participants moved as children，the poorer the quality of their adult social relationships.
    But digging deeper，the researchers found that personality—specifically being introverted (内向的) or extroverted (外向的)—could either intensify or buffer (缓冲) the effect of moving to a new town or neighborhood during childhood.The negative impact of more moves during childhood was far greater for introverts compared to extroverts.
    “Moving a lot makes it difficult for people to maintain long­term close relationships，” stated Dr.Shigehiro Oishi，the first author of the study，in a press release from the American Psychological Association，“This might not be a serious problem for outgoing people who can make friends quickly and easily.Less outgoing people have a harder time making new friends.”
    Families often have to relocate—across town，across the country，or across the globe.Yet，in many cases，their kids and young adolescents haven't yet built up a bank of friendships.So the conventional wisdom is to try to minimize moves for the sake of your child，whenever possible，and to move at the end of the academic year.
    小题1:The passage is written mainly to ________.
    A．offer advice to women on how to form intimate relationships
    B．explain how nature and nurture impact our friendships
    C．explain how moves during childhood affect children
    D．tell us how to help children make friends
    小题2:Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
    A．People who moved less during childhood have better social relationships.
    B．The more people moved during childhood，the more friends they have.
    C．The more people moved during childhood，the better they adjust to society.
    D．There is no link between residential mobility and adult well­being.
    小题3:In order for children to maintain long­term close relationships，parents ________.
    A．should not relocate their homes
    B．should relocate their homes within the town
    C．had better move at the end of the school year
    D．had better move when their children couldn't build up a bank of friendships
    小题4:We learn from the fourth paragraph that moves during childhood ________.
    A．have a bigger impact on an introverted person compared to extroverts
    B．have no impact on an outgoing person
    C．are a big problem for both introverts and extroverts
    D．help children better adapt to a new environment
    小题5:We can infer from the passage that ________.
    A．our friendships are mainly affected by our nurture
    B．we can move when children have made a lot of friends
    C．the impact of moves will disappear when one reaches adulthood
    D．there is some way to minimize the impact of moves during childhood on children

    When 19­year­old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make­A­Wish Foundation(基金会), nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make­A­Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
    Sophia told us that Make­A­Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980. “It's a charity(慈善机构) that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make­A­Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true，” Sophia explained.
    We asked Sophia how Make­A­Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so, with everybody's help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a “policeman” for a day. “When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of Make­A­Wish，” explained Sophia.
    Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make­A­Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.
    小题1:Sophia found out about Make­A­Wish because her best friend had ________.
    A．benefited from itB．volunteered to help it
    C．dreamed about itD．told the author about it
    小题2:According to Sophia, Make­A­Wish ________.
    A．is an international charity
    B．was understood by nobody at first
    C．raises money for very poor families
    D．started by drawing the interest of the public
    小题3:What is said about Chris in Paragraph 3?
    A．He has been a policeman since he was seven.
    B．He gave people the idea of starting Make­A­Wish.
    C．He wanted people to help make his dream come true.
    D．He was the first child Make­A­Wish helped after it had been set up.
    小题4:Which of the following is true about Make­A­Wish volunteers?
    A．They are important for making wishes come true.
    B．They try to help children get over their illnesses.
    C．They visit sick children to make them feel special.
    D．They provide what is necessary to make Make­A­Wish popular.

    Reseachers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately juage 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes．“Shoes convey useful information about their wearers，’’the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
    Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone’s shoes．In the study，63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants．Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
    Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people．However，some of the more specific results are strange enough．For example，“practical and functional’’ shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant" people，while ankle boots were more linked with ‘‘aggressive’’ personalities．The strangest of all may be that those who wore‘ ‘uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities．And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from “attachment anxiety"，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes．
    The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities．
    小题1:What does this text mainly tell us?
    A．Shoes Call hide people’s real personalities．
    B．Shoes convey false information about the wearer．
    C．People’s personalities call be judged by their shoes．

    小题2:The participants were asked to      
    A．provide pictures of their shoes
    B．look at pictures of different shoes
    C．design a personality questionnaire
    D．hand in their commonly worn shoes
    小题3:Which of the results is beyond people’s expectation?
    A．Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes．
    B．Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes．
    C．Aggressive people are likely to wear"ankle boots．
    D．Fashion shoes are typically worn by outgoing people．
    小题4:People suffering from“attachment anxiety” tend to      
    A．wear strange shoesB．worry about their appearance
    C．have a calm characterD．become a political leader
    小题5:The author wrote the text in order to      
    A．inform us of a new studyB．introduce a research method
    C．teach how to choose shoesD．describe different personalitie

    It all began with a stop at a red light.
    Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006 . While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other.
    “Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.”Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered （纠缠）her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something.
    “What do you want to do?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?”
    Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds to charity, while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home.
    Eventually, that’s what the family did. The project —crazy, impetuous （鲁莽的） and utterly inspiring — is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: “The Power of Half.” It’s a book that, frankly, I’d be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.
    At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference — for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a column a week ago, it described neurological evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction. The Salwens’ experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness.
    Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space to retreat to, so the family members spent more time around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.
    小题1:The best title for the passage should be “______”.
    A．The Less, the Better
    B．An Expected Satisfaction
    C．Something We Can Live Without
    D．Somewhat Crazy but Inspiring
    小题2:What does the underlined word “inequity” most probably mean in Paragraph 3?
    A．Unfairness.B．Satisfaction.
    C．Personal attitude.D．Reasonable statement.
    小题3: What does the underlined sentence “Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager.” means? ______
    A．Never give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager.
    B．Unless a child is realistic, never give an answer immediately.
    C．Give an answer if the child is reasonable.
    D．Don’t respond to a child's demands firmly without consideration.
    小题4: What can we learn from the last paragraph?
    A．The Salwens regretted selling their house.
    B．The relationship between the family members of the Salwens is much closer.
    C．Small houses can bring happiness.
    D．The Salwens intend to buy another big house.
    小题5:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap.
    B．Unselfishness has nothing to do with people’s primary satisfaction.
    C．Hannah asked her parents to do something charitable and they sold their house.
    D．The writer’s children asked him to sell their house.

    At the age of 11, Peter Lynch started caddying(当球童) at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Mass. “It was better than a newspaper carrier, and much more profitable,” the Fidelity vice chairman recalls. He kept it up during the summers for almost a decade. “You get to know the course and can give the golf players advice about how to approach various holes,” he says. “Where else, at age 15 or 16, can you serve as a trusted adviser to high-powered people?”
    One of those people was George Sullivan, then president of Fidelity’s funds, who was so impressed with Lynch’s smarts that he hired him in 1966. “There were about 75 applicants for 3 job openings,” Lynch says now. “But I was the only one who had caddied for the president for 10 years.”
    In between caddying and managing money, Lynch went to Boston College on a scholarship from a program called the Francis Ouimet Fund. Named after the 1913 winner of the U.S. Open, the fund launched in 1949 which is open to Massachusetts kids only. Ouimet executive director Robert Donovan says, “Help with college is a logical extension of friendly relation between golfers and their favorite caddies, because there is a close tie to train up them to be excellent that happens between the players and the kids who carry their golf poles. And for the teens, caddying is all about being around successful role models.”
    It is obvious that caddies who are finally successful include all kinds of outstanding personnel, from actor Bill Murray, to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, to former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch.
    Of course, the great number of financial giants who caddied in their youth might be coincidence, but Dick Connolly thinks not. “Caddying life teaches you a lot about business, and about life,” he says. “You learn to show up early and look people in the eye when you shake their hand, and you learn how to read people -- including who’s likely to cheat and who isn’t.” Connolly is a longtime investment advisor at Morgan Stanley’s Boston office, a former Ouimet scholarship student and, along with Peter Lynch and Roger Altman, one of the program’s biggest supporters. He wants to share the most important lesson he learned on the links, so he says: “One golfer I caddied for told me that if you want to succeed in any field -- golf or business -- you have to spend a lot of lonely hours, either practicing or working, when you’d rather be partying with your friends. That’s true, and it stuck with me.”
    小题1:Which of the following may Peter Lynch agree about caddying?
    A．He could have a relaxing job as a caddie.
    B．He could make more money from the golf players.　　
    C．His duty was to advise the players how to play golf.
    D．His caddying experiences contributed to his later career.
    小题2:Why was the Francis Ouimet Fund set up to support Massachusetts kids only?
    A．Because of the advice from the rich golf players.
    B．Because of those giants with caddying experiences.
    C．Because of the great success the caddies have achieved.
    D．Because of the friendly relation between golfers and their caddies.
    小题3:According to Dick Connolly, caddying experience in your youth_____.
    A．helps you learn to live with loneliness
    B．teaches you a lot about business and life
    C．makes it possible to meet with great people
    D．offers you chances to communicate with others
    小题4:Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
    A．Legend of Peter Lynch.
    B．An introduction of Golf Caddying.
    C．Golf Caddying into Future Success.
    D．Five Giants with Caddying Experiences.

    In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh（法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off.
    Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，"Oh boy，bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it's going to rain." I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile.
    Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，"Oh that bus left five minutes ago." Dreams of head-cutting！
    It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsym pathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(递送). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way . A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling fo the receiver.
    Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this. When you're tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
    Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy（同情），I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，"Oh，that's all right I'll catch the next one." Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轰炸的）person is sure to have.

    A．was mad at the sales agent
    B．was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
    C．wished that the sales agent would have had dreams
    D．dreamed of cutting the sales agent's head that night.

    B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.
    C．Receiving bad news requires great courage.
    D．Learning ancient traditions can be useful.

    It was the end of the school term and my son Tom had less than three months left before he would finish his six years at high school. During this time he had developed a love for basketball. Sadly, because of my work over the last twelve months, I had only been able to attend a few of his games; however, I was determined to get to his last game for the school term.
    Tom’s team came out in the first 10 minutes with a burst of goals that saw them leading by just over 20 points at the end of the first half. The second half changed as the other team quickly played themselves back into the game. Tom’s team started to miss an increasing number of shots. It was at that point that the coach called his first time out.
    The noise of the spectators (观众) became quiet as the coach spoke to them. He had the team standing in a half circle, but he squatted (蹲) down, looking up at them and fiving some very calm and clear instructions on what they needed to do in the last couple of minutes. As he stood up to allow the team to return to the court, I saw him give some further words of encouragement to all of them.
    You could see that he knew that the team was fighting to save the game and that he needed to lift them up. By squatting down he placed himself in a position where he was talking up to them, rather than down or at them, and as the players went back onto the court his words of encouragement served to lift their energy and spirits.
    Well, Tom’s team went on to win the final by 5 points. As I drove away I thought about what can happen to us all in our everyday life. One of my favourite quotes is about the half filled glass of water --- “Is it half full or is it half empty?” Like the coach, the answer to this quote all depends on how you look at things.
    小题1:Why did the writer come to see his son play basketball?
    A．Because his son would graduate from high school.
    B．Because he felt sorry for never watching his son play.
    C．Because it was a final his son played a key role in.
    D．Because he had a strong interest in basketball himself.
    小题2:By squatting down, the coach wanted to _____ .
    A．talk about what the players were doing wrong
    B．make the players feel better
    C．prevent spectators from hearing what he said
    D．show his anger at the bad performance of the players
    小题3:What is the writer’s attitude towards the coach?
    A．Negative.B．Supportive.C．Interested.D．Unconcerned.
    小题4:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．A father should care about his son at school.
    B．Playing hard is rewarded with a close match.
    C．What a coach says has the most influence on players.
    D．Looking at things positively is important in hard times.
