    We’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element of chemistry in it.
    Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin. Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar(醋), because it can produce poisonous gas.Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.
    Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient（成分，尤指烹饪） makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.
    Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.

    When you leave home to go and live somewhere else, you naturally take your own personality and cultural ways with you. When you arrive in a new country with a different culture you can experience different kinds of feelings and reactions. For example, you may feel confused and nervous, and like to depend on others.
    If you do experience these things, then you are probably experiencing culture shock. For example, coming to Australia from another country certainly gives you a chance to face many new things: the buildings look different, and the food is not what you are used to. You may not be able to speak with other people confidently.
    Learning to function effectively in a new culture is not easy. Meanings in cross-cultural situations are often unclear. This can be stressful because you are not sure what others expect of you or what you can expect of them. In these situations it is natural to feel anxious and frustrated(挫折). If you recognize that these feelings are a normal part of the experience of living away from “home”, you may be able to deal with them more efficiently. Your sense of humor and openness will also help. As you gain greater understanding of the new culture, you can expect the stress to disappear.
    Dealing with culture shock needs a special effort, but it is the most important to remember that you are not alone in your feelings of distress. Most people in their first weeks and months in a new country experience similar reactions.
    小题1:This passage mainly tells us _______.
    A．How to adapt（适应） to a new environmentB．how to live in Australia happily
    C．how to study in a new environmentD．how to avoid being nervous
    小题2:Why do people have many kinds of feelings in a new country?
    A．Because they are surprised at everything they see.
    B．Because buildings are very beautiful.
    C．Because culture shock does have a great effect on them.
    D．Because they have to learn something quickly.
    小题3:The stress may disappear slowly as you __________.
    A．have the ability to get along well with others
    B．can know more about the new culture
    C．can consider the stress to be normal
    D．are humorous and have a good mood
    小题4:Which of the following is the most important thing in dealing with culture shock?
    A．Your efforts.B．Your attitude.C．Your feelings.D．Your humor.

    Forget hard work and perseverance. Getting ahead is as simple as tidying your desk.
    According to a leading expert, having a cluttered environment reflects a cluttered mind, but the act of tidying up can help you be more successful. The advice comes from Jayne Morris, the resident"life coach" for NHS Online, who said it is no good just moving the mess around. In order to clear the mind, unwanted items must be thrown away to free your "inner world", she said.
    Ms Morris, who claims to have coached celebrities to major business figures, said:“Clearing clutter from your desk has the power to transform your business. " How? Because clutter in your outer environment is the physical sign of all the clutter going on inside of you. " Clearing clutter has a chain effect across your entire life, including your work. Having an untidy desk covered in clutter could be stopping you achieving the business success you want. " She is sure cleaning up will be helpful even though some of history's biggest achievers lived and worked in messy conditions.
    Churchill was considered untidy from a boy throughout his life, from his office to his artist's studio,and the lab where Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin was famously untidy.
    Among the recommendations is that simply tidying a desk at work and an overflowing filing cabinet(陈列柜) will instantly have a positive impact on "your inner world. " Anything that is no longer used should not be put into storage but thrown away completely.
    Keeping something in the loft, garage or other part of the house, does not help because it is still connected to the person "by tiny energetic li.nes", Ms Morris. claims.
    She said, "The things in your life that are useful to you, that add value to your life, that serve a current purpose are charged with positive energy that refreshes you and enriches your life. But the things that you don't ever use and don't need anymore have the opposite effect on your energy.
    Things that no longer fit or serve you, use up your energy. "
    小题1:The underlined word "cluttered" (in Para.2) is closest, in meaning to __
    A．messyB．briefC．complexD．aggressive
    小题2:Which of the following statements does Ms Morris agree to?
    A．Changing the position of staff frequently will help to build up a clear mind.
    B．A tidy office will lead to a success in your business affairs in no time.
    C．To have a free mind, we need to throw away unneeded items at times.
    D．You can pack up your things in garage or loft to cheer you up.
    小题3:According to Ms Morris, an untidy desk probably means that         
    A．you are quite a failure
    B．you are in a messy mind
    C．you are toe tired to deal with it
    D．you have achieved the business success
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Less untidy, more successful.
    B．How to improve your inner world.
    C．Cleaning up makes you less intelligent.
    D．Being bigger achiever needs more effort.

    It’s a natural phenomenon. The minute you think you want to buy something new, you go online to read reviews about it. Not only is this done with shopping, it’s also done for movies to see , restaurants to go to and almost everything that is worth having an opinion on. The concept of writing down a review for all to see is something that has caused the birth of reviews sites. These are sites where people post reviews on other people, services, businesses, products and more.
    In some cases you have professionals do the review and in some other cases you will have the average person write it up. Review sites have a number of ways in which they can gain revenue for themselves in the form of advertising. In some cases, a business can pay his way through to a better listing spot. This does not mean that a positive review will be promoted where it is not warranted (担保).
    Review sites are largely a public forum and it is not necessary for people to reveal their identity. Since people are anonymous (匿名的) and sign up access is open to all, there are chances that reviews will be planted or will be negatively written simply to discredit a particular product or service.
    There is a lot of criticism towards these websites since they do nothing to control the kind of entries made or the source of these entries. On the other hand, there are professional review sites. These people are accountable for each of their reviews. Any doubts you have will be addressed personally by the one writing the review. Such sites work on much better principles allowing for a fair opinion.
    Considering they have a better reputation, they are aware of some the latest products that are released worldwide. This gives you a better chance of finding reviews of the latest product. While a review site will help you narrow down your choice, it by no means should influence your final decision. That is based entirely on the way you see fit.
    小题1:Nowadays, before buying something, people usually ________.
    A．ask the opinion of othersB．surf famous review sites.
    C．ignore topics of review sites.D．read reviews on the Internet.
    小题2:The underlined word “revenue” in Paragraph 2 probably means”______”.
    A．the announcement posted by sites
    B．the income earned from sales or services
    C．the freedom of writing reviews
    D．the program made by advertisement companies
    小题3:What do we know about the professional reviews sites?
    A．The reviews on the sites are written mainly by professors.
    B．Those who write the reviews on the sites are serious sometimes.
    C．The reviewer addresses your doubt personally for you.
    D．The reviewers on the sites are ready to write to you if you like.
    小题4:This passage was written mainly to tell us________.
    A．to make good use of review sites
    B．to consult something with reviewers
    C．not to make a decision before reading reviews
    D．not to believe some review sites

    I recently ran into a friend I hadn’t seen for a long while．Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides．Before we parted she said，“You'll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply  “dropped in’’  I would take my friend by surprise，and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway，staring at me，and asking，“Oh，err …what brings you here?”
    Whatever happened to the unannounced drop-in visit? When I was growing up in the 1960s, it seemed that people - mostly relatives, but also friends - were always popping in. My parents would put coffee on，and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it．Then the conversation would begin…The neighbor lady，a worrier，was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened．The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke．My Polish relatives arrived in packs…But I never heard my parents say anything like “We weren’t expecting you’’ or “This isn’t a good time．”Drop-in visitors had a certain right of way and became No．1．
    What happened to such visits? Actually I know the answer．Times have changed．Everybody gets busy with work．There is no longer a stay-at-home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest．Exploding malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment．
    Just the other day a former student of mine showed up．“I'm sorry for the surprise visit．”my student began．“I just wanted to see if you still lived here．I'll only stay a minute．”My response was immediate.“ No, you won’t,” I said.“Just come in, sit, have coffee, and we’ll talk.’’
    I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza．And we had a lovely time．I have tried to keep the drop-in tradition alive though it takes some effort．
    小题1:The author thought of his friend’s invitation --- “You’ll have to drop in sometime”--- as _______.
    A．a nice way of refusal
    B．an excuse of leaving
    C．a kind of politeness
    D．an expression of surprise
    小题2:The underlined phrase “ pop in”  in the second paragraph means _________.
    A．make many friends
    B．make a special date
    C．have a good time
    D．pay a sudden visit
    小题3:The woman from the neighborhood used to visit the author’s home to ________.
    A．seek comfort from my parents
    B．make new friends
    C．1isten to my parents’ story
    D．taste nice dishes
    小题4:From the third paragraph of the passage，we can infer that __________．
    A．the author misses the lost good days
    B．unexpected visitors are still welcome now
    C．modern people prefer outdoor activities
    D．there are more jobs for the housewives now
    小题5:The author writes the passage intending to __________.     
    A．encourage people to be drop-in visitors
    B．explain how to deal with unexpected visitors
    C．share his feelings about the drop-in tradition

    Dear editor,
    Mary is my friend and she is a very good-hearted girl. She’s always the first to help out others. But her habits make me mad sometimes and she just won’t change her ways. For most situations, that’s just fine with me, as I know it’s what make her who she is. However, sometimes it’s just so hard for me to bear her behavior. She has recently got a cellphone, but she often borrows mine to make calls. My phone has a chain with it. She always tries to open it like her own phone. I usually open it for her, but not always, as sometimes I’m driving my car, so she needs to get it out of my purse and open it herself.
    This weekend we were at a party in a faraway village. She borrowed my cellphone. As it was cold outside, I let her take it outside without opening it. Now it’s broken because she didn’t open it properly. I wouldn’t be so mad, but over the weekend she also borrowed my car and never offered to pay for the gas, which made me very angry. She should have offered to pay for the gas. As I have mentioned, she’s the type to help out others when and where she can. Perhaps because of that, she thinks others should also do the same for her. Sometimes I just think she is very childish. I don’t want to hurt her, but I do want to let her know that not everyone can accept that. What should I do to let her know that?
    Yours,
    Lily
    小题1:What is Lily’s purpose in writing this letter?
    A．to advise us to be careful when making friends.
    B．To tell others what kind of person Mary is.
    C．To tell Mary what she thinks of her.

    A．Mary doesn’t have a cellphone
    B．Mary doesn’t have any good habits
    C．Lily is sometimes not pleased with Mary’s behavior
    D．Lily has asked Mary to change her ways.
    小题3:What happened at the weekend party?
    A．Mary lost Lily’s chain.
    B．Mary left before the party was over.
    C．Lily’s cellphone was broken.

    I have a friend named Monty Roberts. He has let me use his horse ranch(养马场)to put on events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
    Last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant(流动的)horse trainer. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be when he grew up.”
    “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday. He put all his heart into the project and wrote about his dream in great detail. He even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of the buildings, stables and the track, and even a detailed floor plan for a 4000-square-foot house on it.”
    “The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later ,he received a large red “F” on his paper with a note, ‘See me after class.’ The boy went to see the teacher and asked why. The teacher told him there was no way for a young boy like him to do that because owning a horse ranch required much money and resources, and then added ‘If you’ll rewrite his paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”
    “The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what to do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it’s a very important decision for you.’”
    “Finally, a week later, the boy turned in the same paper without any change and stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’”
    “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.”
    Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
    小题1: The teacher gave him an “F” for his written paper because the
    teacher thought 　　    .
    A．he didn’t do a good job in his studies
    B．he described an unrealistic goal in his paper
    C．he came from an itinerant horse trainer’s family
    D．he wrote his paper without the help of his father
    小题2: Why did the boy turn in the same paper without any change?
    A．Because he made up his mind to stick to his dream.
    B．Because his father stopped him from rewriting it.
    C．Because he was angry about his teacher’s words.
    D．Because he had put too much of his heart into it.
    小题3: From the story we can infer that the boy was actually 　　    .
    A．Monty himselfB．the author himself
    C．Monty’s friendD．an unknown person
    小题4: According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT
    that 　　    .

    B．the boy might have got a higher grade if he’d rewritten his paper
    C．the boy succeeded in turning his dream into reality in the end
