    They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
    As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤)　us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.
    The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.
    We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)　the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.
    As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.
    小题1:Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
    A．They made a careful preparation before the trip
    B．They children were more joyful than their parents.
    C．Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
    D．The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.
    小题2:The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means            .
    A．we were weakB．we were unhappy
    C．we were dissatisfiedD．we were disappointed
    小题3:Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?
    A．It proved to be frightening.B．It was more comfortable
    C．It turned out to be excitingD．It made each of them tired.
    小题4:We can infer from the passage that          .
    A．experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way
    B．one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.
    C．the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.
    D．the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.

    小题1:C
    小题2:A
    小题3:A
    小题4:C

    小题1:细节理解We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.结果是：shocked at how narrow the path was，当然是not as lovely as they expected. 最已混淆的是D，但从全文看他们的旅途不愉快，主要是身体虚弱而非夏天的热。
    小题2:推理归纳path出乎预料的艰难，太阳火辣，决定返回，回来时必然是“软弱无力”
    小题3:推论总结as the pilot tossed(翻转)　the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!”可看出他们胆战心惊， frightening早已代替了comfortable。
    小题4:细节推论作者显然是在开玩笑的提出了第四种方式—买本杂志舒舒服服的看大峡谷，不用担惊受怕。on mules 没有尝试无从谈起，排除A。穿衣多少没有谈到。排除B ，从pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted,，可知有意制造惊险，并无危险事故，排除D。

    Some time people call each other “scared-cat”,but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense,and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn't realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things:It will defend itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.
    Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry,scared,or aroused by other emotions (feelings),our bodied go through many physical changes.Out hearts beat faster,and our muscled get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too get ready to defend ourselves or run.
    Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger—or hit somebody—and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always wise to express your feelings freely.
    Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger,sadness,and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel churned up inside.It can actually be bad for your health.(It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either;all feelings need to be expressed.)
    Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away.It's as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you'd smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are you'd see little fruit flies hovering all over them.They'd be rotten.
    You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist,but they'll still be around.And at last you'll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.
    小题1:The best title for this article is _________.
    A．Emotions Affect Our BodiesB．What Happens to a Frightened Cat
    C．What Happens to An Excited PersonD．Feelings that People Have
    小题2:The underlined words “churned up” in the fourth paragraph mean _________.
    A．gradually they'll disappearB．they won't exist any more
    C．they will hover all overD．your body stays tense
    小题3:The author wrote this article in order to _________.
    A．tell us that it isn't good to keep feelings inside
    B．give us some advice on how to express our feelings
    C．make us face the problem that we have to deal with feelings
    D．make us know that it isn't always wise to express our feelings freely

    Things can go wrong on-a number of people on the road. During the rush hour one evening, two cars hit each other and both drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly went into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her stop suddenly. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road’. Seeing a cake-flying through the air, a truck driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck and fell onto the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic to move again. In the meanwhile, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles.

    Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
    For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on e hundred dollars!”
    This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only on e was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
    He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
    Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
    Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
    This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
    小题1:How much did the lottery winner lose?
    A．One hundred dollars.B．Two hundred dollars.
    C．Three hundred dollars.D．Four hundred dollars.
    小题2:We may infer that the author believes people should _______.
    A．buy lottery ticketsB．make use of half-truths
    C．not take anything at face valueD．not trust the Yucky Company
    小题3: What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?
    A．final increaseB．big advantage
    C．large shareD．total saving
    小题4:What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?
    A．False statements are easy to see through.
    B．Half-truths are often used to mislead people.
    C．Doctors like to act in advertisements.
    D．Advertisements are based on facts.
