My nephew’s 10-year-old son came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to inside and joined him in a game. After for an hour, I suggested that we relax for a while. I fell into my favorite recliner（躺椅）to let my neck muscles relax. He'd slipped out of the room and I was catching a few moments of peace and quiet.
"Look，Alice,” he said as he ran over to the chair where I was sitting "I found a kite. Could we go outside and it?"
Glancing out a nearby window, I noticed it was outside. “I'm sorry, Tripper,.” I said, sad to see his eyes. "The wind is not blowing today. The kite won't fly.”
The 10-year-old replied, “I think it's enough. I can get it to fly,” he answered as he ran out to the back door .
Up and down in the yard he ran, pulling the kite to a small length of string. He ran back and forth，as hard as his ten year-old would carry him, looking back at the kite behind. After about ten minutes of determination, he came back in.
I asked, "How did it go?"
"Fine，”he said, not wanting to admit ．“I got it to fly some”
As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, "I guess I'll have to wait for the ．”
At that moment I heard another Voice speak to my . "Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way waiting for the Wind.”
And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to what we want to do. We wait for the Wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted（耗尽）our own ．We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!

〔1〕There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.
〔2〕Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions and “word combinations”, which means groups of words that often or always go together.
〔3〕Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context （上下文）, the more words one is exposed to（接触）, The easier one will find English to learn . Keep a writing pad close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then _______________________ in a dictionary.
〔4〕Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.
〔5〕Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.
1. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________ ____________________
2.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 5words)
____________________________________________________________ _____
3. Why does the author think context is important in learning English? (no more than 15 words)
___________________________________ ______________________________
4. What does the word “it” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) probably refer to? (no more than 9 words)
___________________________________ ______________________________
5. How would you increase your English vocabulary after reading the passage? List two ways. (no more than 18 words)

Does Being Famous Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their privacy. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. In the end, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of following celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice（正义）. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
1.It can be learned from the passage that stars today _________.
A. spend too much on their public appearance
B. are often misunderstood by the public
C. can no longer have their privacy protected
D. care little about how they have become famous
2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
B. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
C. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
D. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
3.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A. There are huge population of fans.
B. They get little support from society.
C. They get few good opportunities.
D. Many modern ways of getting news are being used.
4.What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A. Sincere. B. Doubting C. Supporting. D. Disagreeing.
