    Travel Unaccompanied
    Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
    Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
    In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
    Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30­year­old.
    Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
    The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
    小题1:Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
    A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
    B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
    C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
    D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
    小题2:Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
    A．it will finally build your character
    B．you have to make things on your own
    C．you depend on yourself whatever happens
    D．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
    小题3:What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
    A．He started traveling at an early age.
    B．He was once shot in the arm.
    C．His website inspires others a lot.
    D．He used to work as a salesman.

    小题1:A
    小题2:C
    小题3:D

    文章大意：很多人喜欢独自旅行。
    小题1:答案：A　细节理解题。由第二段第一句话“...believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.”可知，Wegscheider认为每个人都应该至少独自旅行一次，所以A项符合。
    小题2:答案：C　细节理解题。由第三段前两句话“In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging.”可知，独自旅行是很有挑战性的，因为独自旅行时，一切都要靠自己。
    小题3:答案：D　推理判断题。由第四段第一句话“Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.”可知，Chris Richardson过去的职业是销售员。由第四段第三句话“He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier.”可知，A项错误；由第五段第一句话可知，B项错误；由第四段第二句话可知，C项无交代，所以错误。

    Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard，they also relax just as well.Numerous vacations help  the couple to maintain their health and emotional well­being­­and it’s no surprise to health care professionals.
    “Rest，relaxation，and  stress  reduction are very  important for people’s well­being and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities，such as exercise and meditation，but vacation is an important part of this as well，” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing，so a rested，relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better，” said Withers.
    Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation has on one’s mental health is great，” said Francine Lederer，a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation，even if it is a 24­hour time­out.” The trips could be good for their health，good for their family and good for their businesses.
    The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010，and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them.France topped the list，with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued，but that’s not always good for the individual，the family or the employer.
    Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this，the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker，making it actually more difficult to shift into less­stressed states，” Mulhern said.
    小题1:How did the author introduce the topic of the text?

    A．weaken reaction system
    B．cure serious diseases
    C．reduce the level of well­being
    D．decrease the risk of heart disease
    小题3:Expedia’s survey shows that Americans________.
    A．dislike family gatherings
    B．have the shortest vacation
    C．enjoy as many vacations as the French
    D．think much of spending long hours on the job
    小题4:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
    A．One should never wait to relax.
    B．Work and rest go against each other.
    C．Time and opportunity wait for no man.
    D．A relaxed mind determines everything.

    A proverb says :“Time is money.”But in my opinion, time is even more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent ,we can earn it back .However when time is gone ,it will never return .This is the reason why we must value time.
    There is no doubt that the time we have is unusually limited. So even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things .As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve our society and our nation in the future.
    But it is pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time .They spend their valuable time smoking, drinking and so on. They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.
    In a word, we should get into a good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.
    小题1:When we say “Time is money.”we mean ______
    A．Time is equal to dollars, pounds…B．Time is gold .

    Some students get so nervous before a test; they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test­takers.
    Sian Beilock: “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry，it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”
    Professor Beilock and another researcher，Gerardo Ramirez，have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam，highly anxious test­takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
    Sian Beilock: “What we think happens is when students put it down on paper，they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation. They might realize it's not as bad as they might think it was before and，in essence(本质上)，it prevents these thoughts from popping up when they're actually taking a test.”
    The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
    The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.
    Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.
    Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.
    Prefessor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of  B＋，compared to a B－ for those who did not.
    Sian Beilock: “What we showed is that for students who are highly test­anxious，who'd done our writing intervention(排解)，all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.”
    But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．The result in the math test agrees with that in the biology test.
    B．In the first math test, students who sat quietly performed better.
    C．In the second math test, students who wrote about their feelings did worse.
    D．Some college students are highly anxious test­takers while others are not in the tests.
    小题2:What may happen if students have the problem of test anxiety?
    A．Test anxiety is sure to cause students to fail the test.
    B．Test anxiety can improve students' performance to some degree.
    C．Students' attention and memory resources run out when worried.
    D．Students may not be admitted into their favorite college if worried.
    小题3:The result of the research suggests that ________.
    A．proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thing
    B．facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve more
    C．avoiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxation
    D．taking no action before difficulty may result in success
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．It is important for students to overcome test anxiety.
    B．Anxious students overcome test anxiety by writing down fears.
    C．It is a common practice for students being worried before a test.
    D．Being worried before tests does harm to students' performance.

    To Friend or Not to Friend
    We all love our parents and turn to them when we're in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
    In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
    These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there's also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don't get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
    It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don't want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
    A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn't take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent's friend request, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”
    Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
    小题1:From Paragraph 2, we learn that ________.
    A．parents feel secure about their privacy online
    B．social networks successfully fill the generation gap
    C．parents have realized the importance of social networks
    D．social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
    小题2:Teenagers may refuse a parent's friend request because ________.
    A．they hide something from their parents
    B．they are unwilling to be watched by parents
    C．their parents tend to fall behind in technology
    D．their parents make negative comments on them
    小题3:The passage is mainly about ________.
    A．privacy online
    B．social networks
    C．the generation gap
    D．parents' friend requests
    小题4:The passage is written mainly for ________.
    A．parentsB．teenagers
    C．teachersD．researchers

    IMAGINE that you are in school, giving a speech to your class.
    Now think what it feels like when stammering(口吃)makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to other people.
    The King’s Speech, which won the best picture at
    the Academy Awards, highlights(突出) stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britain’s King George Ⅵ, who became king after his brother Edward Ⅷ gave up the crown to marry an American woman.
    As a result of British actor Colin Firth’s performance, people are starting to realize that stammering can damage a person’s self-confidence and cause him/her to escape from life.
    “The problem is unseen and unheard,” said Norbert Lieckfeldt, an expert at the British Stammering Association, in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.
    “Stammering masks(遮盖) your ability,” he said, “It's a serious disability(残疾).”
    Most stammerers face bullying(欺负) in school, something that is “usually carried over into the workplace”.
    George Ⅵ’s stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people realize. “Some simply don't like the sound of their own voice; others are scared of speaking in public,” she said.
    Travis Treats from Saint Louis University’s department of communication sciences in the US, praised The King’s Speech. He said it shows that “how one’s speech does not mean what one is inside”.
    He also added that people who stammer need to be heard and our society should recognize that they have a lot to give to the world.
    小题1: What is the point of the first two paragraphs?
    A．To tell readers about speech speaking.
    B．To show how harmful a stammer is.
    C．To draw the attention of readers to the problem of a stammer.
    D．To show how a stammer makes a person popular
    小题2: According to the article, King George Ⅵ _____.
    A．was a hero during World War Ⅱ
    B．took the place of his brother
    C．married a divorced American woman
    D．was a failure because of his stammer
    小题3: What is Norbert Lieckfeldt’s view of the challenge of a stammer?
    A．A stammer can destroy a person’s self-confidence.
    B．A stammer is a serious problem for many people but it is often ignored.
    C．People who stammer need to have their own voice.
    D．People who stammer do better in work than in school.

    There has been an outpouring of love for a 23-year-old disabled woman whose dog was killed in front of her while a groomer(美容师)tried to trim(修剪)its claws.

    Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis(硬化症), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, “I would like to buy her a new dog. ”
    A story about the death of Crouch’s pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Macomb Daily. Crouch said a groomer tied Gooch up with a collar, and then she and a man sat on the dog to trim its nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.
    Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored. “If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can’t do that. ”Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.
    “This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待), ”Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills said.
    People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue in Roseville, said, “We have puppies to donate and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog. ”
    “When Gooch was with me I was happy, ”Crouch said, “I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There’s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again. ”
    小题1:People called and emailed to　　　　.

    B．offer help and care to Laurie Crouch

    A．the groomer was careless
    B．the groomer didn’t know how to trim the dog’s nails

    小题3:What do we know about Crouch’s dog?
    A．It was a specially trained service dog.
    B．It was trained to do many things for people.
    C．It was Crouch’s only friend.
    D．It could offer some help to Crouch.
    小题4:What does the passage mainly tell us?

    B．A cruel groomer killed a disabled woman’s dog.
    C．People’s love for a disabled woman who lost her dog.
    D．A disabled woman loves to have the dog as company.
