    Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons. “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered. “It must be to the cleverest son. But which one is the cleverest?”
    He called his three sons to him. “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room. Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune.”
    “It is a big room,” said the eldest son.
    “One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son.
    But the youngest son said nothing. He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “let us go to the market.”
    The eldest son bought straw with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of straw. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room.
    The second son bought sand with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of sand. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor.
    “What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son. “You don't have any straw.”
    “Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily. “You don't have any sand.”
    “I bought this,” said the youngest son.
    “A candle！” cried his brothers. “What good is a candle?”
    “Watch”, said the youngest son.
    He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor. It was filled with light!
    “Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said.
    And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light.

    Dear Michelle:
    My Dad hates my Mom. He tells me that she is a liar and that I should not trust her. Of course, they are divorced but they have “joint custody(共同监护)”. What a joke! I am 15, my brother is nine, and we have a life of hell, frankly.
    We live one week on and one week off. This was the brilliant idea of both of my parents, which was fair to them but ruining my life. I can’t get away from his voice and his putting my mom down. Sometimes I think about running away.
    A Hopeless Ant
    Dear Hopeless Ant:
    First, thank you for trusting me with your problem. If all you said is correct, then there are several
    things that you can and should do to help yourself, your brother, and your parents.
    ● You need a family counselor(顾问). Such a person could listen to each family member alone and
    then meet together to talk about the situation.
    If refused, you need to talk to a counselor in your school. You need to be heard, and you need an
    adult who will listen. A school counselor can organize a meeting with your parents.
    ● Perhaps you need to write to her. Writing things down allows people to go over it more than one
    time.
    I cannot imagine that she will stand passively by and do nothing at all to help once she reads how
    you feel. Your father needs a letter as well. He may not realize the destructive effect that it has on his
    children.
    ● Lastly, have a plan in mind when all else fails that is not self-destructive. Life passes very quickly, and you will grow up and have your own life.
    Above all, you need to keep yourself safe. Never doubt that it will get better. Write back and let me know how everything is going.
    The Hopeless Ant wrote the letter to _______.
    A. complain about the problems
    B. ask for advice
    C. make his father punished
    D. just play a joke
    小题1:.
    The Hopeless Ant hated his father because __________.
    A．his father always told a lie
    B．his father wasn’t friendly to his mother
    C．his father divorced his mother
    D．the Hopeless Ant couldn’t stay with his parents
    小题2:.
    According to the text, which of the following advice is in greatest need for the Hopeless Ant?
    A．Keep himself safe.B．Have a talk with his parents.
    C．Have his own family plan.D．Write letters to families.
    小题3:.
    In which part of a website may the passage appear?
    A．Entertainment.B．Advertisement.C．Life.D．Education.

    Shopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born．In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores．
    The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular．The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee．Malls are places for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just “go to the mall” and spend time with their friends．
    The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys “R” Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores．Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors．
    And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States．People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores．While, online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store．And privacy of personal information may be let out．
    小题1:Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?
    ①small stores ②superstores ③shopping malls ④shopping online ⑤supermarkets
    A．①②③④⑤B．①⑤③②④C．②③④①⑤D．①⑤②③④
    小题2:Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?
    A．Small stores．B．Supermarkets．C．Shopping mallsD．Superstores．
    小题3:Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?
    A．Because they can buy goods at a reduction in price．
    B．Because they are across the United States．
    C．Because they sell all kinds of products people need．
    D．Because they are built near small towns．
    小题4:What’s the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?
    A．Wasting time．B．Fixed prices．
    C．No chance to do physical activities.D．Leaking personal information．

    One in five American families will move every year. Moving is one of the most stress-producing events a family has to go through. Experts say it can be harder for children. How do you help your child adjust to the changes?
    The Ricardos moved from their old house to a new home. Same family, same dog-but it was harder for 9-year-old Elena. She hated the room, the house and everything. She hated leaving her friends the most.
    “ I was so emotional. I mean, saying goodbye to all my friends…..my very close friends, who was my neighbor, made me so sad,” says Elena.
    For some children, the emotional stress of moving is not much more different from the emotions when someone has died.
    “There’s that sense that, ‘I’ve lost my friends, my friends, my base, my school, my teachers-everything I knew that made me feel safe is all gone now. I have to start over,” says Dr. Tim Jordan.
    Starting over is exactly Dr. Tim Jordan’s advice. Make new friends, enter the new school and enter the new neighborhood. And here are some other pieces of advice.
    ● Explain clearly to the children why the move is necessary.
    ● Familiarize(使熟悉) the children as much as possible with the new area with maps, photographs or the daily newspaper.
    ● After the move, got the children to join in activities in the place.
    ● Help the children keep in touch with friends from the neighborhood before through telephone, letters, e-mail, and personal visits.

    A．Let doctors give children some advice.
    B．Try letting children accept the fact of moving.
    C．Let children keep in touch with their former friends.
    D．Copy the new environment in the old home.
    小题2:
    What can we know from the passage?
    A．Most American children can get used to the changes in moving.
    B．Dr. Tim Jordan lost his family, friends, teachers after moving.
    C．The emotional stress of moving is the same in some way as that of knowing someone’s death.
    D．the Ricardos lost their dogs after moving to their new house.

    With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.
    The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.
    As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.
    No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.
    Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’ minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so much as it’s good for the planet.
    小题1:The underlined part in the first paragraph means _______.
    A．lovers like staying at an eco-hotel when traveling
    B．eco-hotels are very popular in the travel industry
    C．eco-hotels are where young people love to live
    D．romantic love stories often happen in eco-hotels
    小题2: According to the passage, which of the following can match the idea of eco-hotel?
    A．It uses renewable energy.
    B．It is comfortable and fashionable.
    C．It has walls of glass.
    D．It is home to endangered species.
    小题3: From the passage, we know the Rosario Resort & Spa is a kind of hotel that _______.
    A．protects important habitats
    B．harvests food from its own garden
    C．has courses on the environment for its guests
    D．encourages its guests to participate in its greening activities
    小题4: From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______.
    A．money is the driving force behind eco-hotels
    B．eco-hotels have no advantages in competing for guests
    C．eco-hotels teach their guests the philosophy of eco-hotels
    D．the hotel industry cares more about money than the environment
    小题5: People who choose to stay at eco-hotels _______.
    A．love to take a hike
    B．have environmental awareness
    C．want to live comfortably
    D．enjoy the green atmosphere
