    It's going to be a chaotic(混乱的)day. How do I know? It’s Monday. OK, joking. But, I do predict that today will be filled with the normal last-minute tasks, fire drills, and unforeseen events. So, how do you keep yourself from being swept away in the stream of chaos? How do you remain calm while others are rushing and panicking? There's a problem… Panic! When things don't go as planned, how do you react? Are you the calm one who works to fix things? Or the one running around like Chicken Little screaming that the sky falling? Getting upset or alarmed can seem like natural reactions to a problem.
    Here are a few tips to kelp you remain calm in the face of the storm:
    ? Don't Panic  You are better able to find a solution if you   aren't panicking. If you can keep your head when others are losing theirs, you will be able to make a dear decision in the chaos.
    ? There Aren't Many True Emergenaes   My time as a Naval Officer taught me a­bout true emergencies. In the military, when there is a problem, people can get hurt or die. This is not usually the case when the office copier or email server goes down. Keep things in perspective. There are very few true emergencies in life.
    ? Avoid the "Fight or Flight"   When you are stressed, your body will want to go into "fight or flight." Your body was designed to keep you safe from danger, but its natu­ral reflexes aren't always the best solution against a project gone away. Keep your emotions in check and ensure that your physical reflexes don’t make bad decisions for you.
    ? Head Into The Problem    While everyone else is running away, true leaders walk into a problem. Sticking your head in the sand only makes things worse. Instead of trying to ignore the situition, get to the heart of the issue as soon as possible. Only then can you address it
    How Will You React? When you find yourself ready to lose it, take a step back. Ask, "In this truly an emergcncy?" Keep your head when others are losing theirs. And you'll find that you are that much closer to a solution.
    小题1:The author writes the first paragraph in order to______.
    A．describe a chaotic dayB．advocate a way of lifeC．introduce a topicD．make a joke

    A．there are seldom true emergencies in life
    B．there are many true emergencies in life
    C．some emergencies are really urgent
    D．some emergencies can't be predicted
    小题4:What would the best title for the passage?

    In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, all of us need to know how to learn well. Yet evidence suggests that most of us don’t use the learning techniques that science has proved the most effective.
    The scientific literature evaluating these techniques goes back to decades and across thousands of articles. It’s far too extensive and complex for the average parent, teacher or employer to look through. Fortunately, a team of five leading psychologists have done the job for us.
    Professor John Dunlosky and other psychologists closely examined 10 learning strategies and rated each from high to low utility(实用) on the basis of the evidence they’ve gathered. Here’s part of their conclusions:
    In contrast to familiar practices, the effective learning strategies with the most evidence to support them aren’t well known outside the lab. Take distributed practice, for example. This strategy involves spreading out your study time, rather than engaging in one marathon. Cramming (死记硬背）information at the last minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but the material will quickly disappear from your memory. It’s much more effective to look through the material at intervals over time.
    And the longer you want to remember the information, whether it’s two weeks or two years, the longer the intervals should be.
    The second learning strategy that is highly recommended by Dunlosky is practice testing. Yes, more tests---but there not for a grade. Research shows that the mere act of calling information to mind strengthens that knowledge and aids in future retrieval (检索). While practice testing is not a common strategy---despite the strong evidence supporting it ---there is one familiar approach that captures its benefits: using flash cards. And now flash cards can be presented in digital form. Both distributed practice and practice testing were rated as having “high utility” by Dunlosky.
    小题1:How did the psychologists study and rate the learning strategies?
    A．By analyzing the materials gathered in the past years.
    B．By asking some students questions about their study.
    C．By doing some experiments on the objects in the lab.
    D．By asking parents and teachers to look through the articles.
    小题2:The underlined word “extensive” in Para.2 means _____.
    A．small in amount
    B．easy or quick to do
    C．more than is needed
    D．dealing with a lot of information
    小题3:About distributed practice and practice testing, it’s true that _____.
    A．many students have benefited a lot from them
    B．they were first put forward by John Dunlosky
    C．only a small number of experts know about them
    D．psychologists are studying whether they are effective
    小题4:The strategy of distributed practice shows that ______.
    A．we should not study for long hours every day
    B．reviewing what we have studied is of little help
    C．the shorter the interval is, the better we’ll study
    D．doing repetition at intervals is the best way
    小题5:The evidence shows that the strategy of practice testing ______.
    A．is a way to use flash cards to help study
    B．is mainly used to help us remember well
    C．helps know about students’ grades in time
    D．is a way widely used to strengthen memory

    In my long years of teaching, I often ask my student to read the texts until they can recite（背诵） them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
    In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?
    Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
    小题1:What do the students think about the teacher’s advice? _______.
    A．The English teacher tries his best to help them with English.
    B．The English teacher is very kind to them.
    C．The English teacher asks them to do something useless.
    D．The English teacher should let them study on their own.
    小题2:When the students are against his suggestion, the writer_______.
    A．often criticizes them
    B．patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts
    C．wants to give up his idea
    D．is afraid that he is criticized by the headmaster.
    小题3:Why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text?_____.
    A．Reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying English.
    B．Reciting the texts is the best way of learning English.
    C．The students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them.
    D．Reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching.

    Katharine Collins, a second-year college student
    The course has been very interesting, but I was expecting a little more one-to-one time with my teacher．
    We do about four assignments （作业） each term, each of which is about 3,000 words．However, sometimes they are not that helpful．We hope to be given the right to write feedback （反馈） after every assignment, but we had no feedback at all throughout the first year．We are given grades about three weeks after we hand the assignments in．There is no feedback on where we have gone wrong or how we might improve．

    What will power your house in the future？Nuclear，wind，or solar power？According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US，it might be leaves — but artificial (人造的) ones.
    Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用)．Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.
    The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂)．Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house.
    Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.
    The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.
    The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.
    With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries，especially in India and rural China.
    小题1:Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?
    a．artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygen
    b．the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cell
    c．the artificial leaves are put in water
    d．the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity
    A．c，a，b，d B．c，b，a，d
    C．b，c，a，dD．c，a，d，b
    小题2:The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.
    A．build up more power stations in the world
    B．provide cheaper energy for developing countries
    C．offer people in developing countries access to pure water
    D．gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process
    小题3:The main idea of this passage is ________.
    A．an introduction to the history of artificial leaves
    B．a mixture of water power and solar energy
    C．giving energy to the poor
    D．an invention copying photosynthesis

    In the past, going to a piano teacher was the most popular way to learn how to play the piano. You could get one-to-one teaching and have the opportunity to learn as much as the teacher knew. If you didn’t have private lessons, you could still learn the piano, but you would have to teach yourself. This was easy for some, but very difficult for most. However, with technology developing today, there is at last another way that you can take piano lessons. You can take an online course.
    An online course is much cheaper than a private lesson. If a private lesson costs 30-40 dollars per week, just think about how quickly that adds up. You can take a whole online course in piano for just a fraction(小部分) of the money that you would spend on weeks of private lessons. Also, private lessons are usually only one hour per week. So you would have to wait for your next lesson to continue your learning. However, online piano courses are quite different.
    With an online piano course, you can work at your own pace. You can also take as many lessons per week as you want, or go back and listen to your last lesson if you have forgotten anything. Most adults who want to learn how to play the piano enjoy being able to go back and listen to the lessons again.
    Of course if you need someone to sit beside you and offer you immediate feedback(反馈) as you are playing, you might not get that from an online piano course. However, the lessons online can be viewed（观看） at any time, or as often as you’d like, which means that you can get your own type of feedback from an online piano course.
    小题1:This passage mainly tells us ______.
    A．the disadvantages of the traditional ways of learning to play the piano
    B．the differences between traditional piano courses and online courses
    C．why people prefer online piano courses to traditional piano courses
    D．the advantages of learning to play the piano through an online course
    小题2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 want to tell us?
    A．That private piano lessons shouldn’t be that expensive.
    B．That taking private piano lessons really costs a lot.
    C．That not everyone can afford to take piano lessons.
    D．That the price for private piano lessons has increased greatly.
    小题3:How did the writer make his points clear?
    A．By giving detailed data.
    B．By giving many examples
    C．By writing about his own experiences
    D．By comparing with the old ways.

    Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. the sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
    Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
    People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
    Today, we know that the little iron in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.
    It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
    小题1:A good title for this reading passage is______.
    A．Popeye the Sailor
    B．The Truth About Spinach
    C．A Mistake with Numbers
    D．Folic Acid Makes You Strong
    小题2:Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?
    A．People liked folic acid.
    B．They thought Popeye was funny.
    C．Spinach had a lot of iron.
    D．They thought spinach made them strong.
    小题3:A research group told people that spinach______.
    A．made Popeye strong
    B．was a green vegetable
    C．had less iron than other green vegetables
    D．had more iron than other green vegetables
    小题4:The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.
    A．ironB．spinachC．folic acidD．exercise
