    At the top of a hill,we can usually get a good view of everything around us,so from there we can plan which direction to go next.

    As we go downhill,we can see less and less,and at the bottom of that hill,even less.So,because we can see more from the top of the hill,we can also plan our future better.

    In business,education,or anything else that people do,being”on top”means being the best.A business that is”on top”is beating all its competition in the same way,a student”on top”is getting the highest grades in his or her class.

    It is necessary,however,to continue to work very hard to keep one’s position”on top”.If one allows high standards to fall through inattention,mismanagement,or poor quality control,we can say that that person’s work or business is”going downhill”.

    1.What does”go downhill”in this passage mean?

    A.See less.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B.Be in a worse condition.

    I usually doubt about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago.While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, 1 was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children between 9 and 17 have a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.

    Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation (孤独) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.

    Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation to cope.

    At the top of the list,nurturing (培育) is a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.

    To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later.They will then have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.

    Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.

    Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.

    Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable,but it doesn’t have to ruin your life.

    1.What does the author thinks of the conclusion that people in America are unhappier than 50 years ago?

    A．Surprising         B．Confusing         C．Illogical           D．Questionable

    2.What does the author mean by saying “ we can’t turn the clock back(Para. 3)?

    A．It’s impossible to slow down the pace of the change.

    B．The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.

    C．Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.

    D．It’s impossible to forget the past.

    3.According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children 50 years ago __________.

    A．were less isolated physically

    B．were probably less self-centered

    C．probably suffered less from anxiety

    D．were considered less individualistic

    4.What is the first and most important thing parents should do to help their children?

    A．To provide them with a safer environment.

    B．To lower their expectations for them.

    C．To get them more involved socially.

    D．To set a good model for them to follow.

    5.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

    A．Anxiety, though always unavoidable, can be coped with.

    B．Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated(夸大).

    C．Children’s anxiety can be removed with more parental care.

    D．Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.

    Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge(报复)of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports.

    How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?

    Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained A’s in every subject. Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A’s in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A’s in two college-level courses.

    How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren’t the only answer. “Top grades don’t always go to the brightest students, ” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students.“Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天生的)abilities counts for more. Much more.”

    In fact, Walberg says, students with high IQ sometimes don’t do as well as classmates with lower IQ. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down.

    Hard work isn’t the whole story, either.“It’s not how long you sit there with the books open, ” said one of the many-A students we interviewed.“It’s what you do while you’re sitting.”Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.

    The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.

    1.The underlined word “nerds” can probably be________ .

    A．dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills

    B．successful top students popular with their peers

    C．students with certain learning difficulties

    D．born leaders crazy about social activities

    2.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?

    A．Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students.

    B．People have unfavorable impression on straight-A students.

    C．Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films.

    D．Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society.

    3.Some students become super-achievers mainly because_________ .

    A．they are born cleverer than others

    B．they work longer hours at study

    C．they make full use of their abilities

    D．they know the shortcut to success

    4.What will be talked about after the last paragraph?

    A．The interviews with more students.

    B．The role IQ plays in learning well.

    C．The techniques to be better learners.

    D．The achievements top students make.

    5.What can we infer from the passage?

    A．IQ is more important than hard work in study.

    B．The brightest students can never get low grades.

    C．Top students certainly achieve all-around developments.

    D．Students with average IQ can become super-achievers.

    The man known as the French “ Spiderman” climbed The New York Times building on Thursday to draw attention to global warming, and six hours later another climber made the same climb.

    Alain Robert, 45, the first person to climb the 52-story skyscraper, told reporters ahead of the climb on the UN World Environment Day his aim was to raise awareness of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time.

    His manager Julie Cohen said she knew nothing about the second climber. She added that Robert’s climbs were without risk and he was a professional climber.

    Robert climbed without equipment except for climbing shoes. He was greeted at the top by the police who arrested him. 

    The second climber was also immediately arrested at the top by police. His climb at the height of the evening rush hour drew crowds and was shown live on at least one TV station.

    Several people in the crowd shouted“jump” when he stopped part of the way to rest, but there was a loud cheer as he reached the top. Wearing red pants , black climbing shoes and a white T-shirt that read “ Malaria(疟疾) No More”, the man laughed as he was led away by the police from the building.

    “ We don’t look at him as a modern spiderman,” said James Coil, a member of the police emergency services unit. “ We look at him as somebody who not only puts his life at risk but is one of members of the public as well.”

    Martin Edlund, director of “ Malaria No More”, which aims to prevent the one million yearly deaths from malaria, said the climber had nothing to do with them, but they appreciated his enthusiasm.

    56.When was Alain Robert arrested at the top of the building by police?

    A. In the early morning.     B. In the late afternoon.

    C. In the evening.          D. About at noon.

    57. We learn from the text that Robert’s climb was________.

    C. prevented by the owner of the skyscraper

    D. laughed at by the people watching him

    58. The second climber did the same thing as Robert with the purpose of_____.

    A. showing that he is as good as Robert 

    B. drawing people’s attention to global warming

    C. doing something for people’s health improvement

    D. making himself well known in the world

    59.The underlined sentence shows that________.

    A. risk is popular in the USA
