    Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
    I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father  21 me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is  22 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no  23 than tomorrow morning.”
    My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly  24 , and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and  25 , “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all,  26 the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm.”
    That statement began a(n)   27 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my  28 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
    She changed many things. She   29  my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more  30 and my brothers and I could be better educated.
    When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand  31 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I  32 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her  33 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of  34 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the  35 beneficiary (受益者). My father became the  36 man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
    What power  37 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is  38 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never  39 .
    You can communicate that power to  40 who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

    With their weakening bodies, advanced age or increasing pressure of work or study, people have been advised and usually persuaded to have health care products. Do you remember your first time to take a nutritional supplement(营养补充品)? What was your first impression?

    Madeline on Dec. 24, 2010 7:25 PM
    Years ago, as a young mom with two small children, I struggled to keep up with the demands of a busy life. One day, I woke up feeling so tired that I knew something had to change!
    A friend gave me some Royal Jelly—an amazing substance(物质)from the beehive(蜂房). I was doubtful, but desperate…so I tried it! In time, I began to experience renewed energy and vitality(活力)like never before! Now, over two decades later, I travel all round the country, sharing my life-changing experience. I’m grateful for the energy to keep up and love to share this wonderful discovery with others.
    Blanca on Dec. 25, 2010 7:02 PM
    Ten years ago, when I was 73, my mind wanted to be busy and useful, but my body didn’t. I became tired and lethargic(无精打采的). That’s when my daughter Madeline tried to persuade me to try her special Royal Jelly. It made such a dramatic(巨大的)difference in her life, so she was sure it could help me too! Hesitating for 2 days, I gave in. She was right! I no longer felt worn out. I had a new, youthful zest(热情)for life and I’ve been OK — thanks to Royal Jelly!
    Lori on Dec. 25, 2010 10:27 PM
    When my mom Madeline was introduced to Royal Jelly, it affected my life, too! Mom gave me some of her fantastic Royal Jelly. Boy, things did turn around! I had more energy and stamina(耐力)and was finally able to keep up with high school and, eventually, college activities. Today, I’m a busy mom in my mid-thirties with two active boys and a new business! I have enough energy to do it all! I’m glad I took my Mom’s advice.

    One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear – producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
    Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
    Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（认知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three – year – old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
    Kids are not to blame. They are over – protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage.
    Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement（增强）love, respect and need for the landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
    小题1:.
    According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that_____.
    A．we are the last generation to experience nature.
    B．the author of Last Child in the Woods don’t defend parks against encroachment
    C．without having a nature experience, kids are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives
    D．children should grow up to be protectors of nature
    小题2:.
    According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will    .
    A．keep a high sense of wonder
    B．be over – protected by their parents
    C．be less healthy both physically and mentally
    D．change wild places and creatures for the better
    小题3:.
    . According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is    .
    A．the fault on the part of their parents
    B．the natural experience in their growing up
    C．the result of their own carelessness in play
    D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
    小题4:.
    In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to    .
    A. blame children for getting lost in computer games                 
    B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
    C. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature

    Daniel Defoe (about 1660~1731) was an important novelist in the English literature(文学). When he was young, he served as a soldier and had been to Spain, Italy, France and Germany. At the same time, he went in for politics. He cared much about the development of capitalism(资本主义). He had written a lot of articles against it and he was put into prison twice for that. It was not until he was nearly sixty that he began to write the famous novel Robinson Crusoe, which was published in May, 1709. It spread so rapidly that the story was known to every household very soon.
    Robinson Crusoe can be divided into three parts. The first part is about Crusoe’s three voyages, the second part about his hunting, hiding in caves farming and his hard struggles against nature on a small island, the third part about the things which happened after his return from the island. The second part is the body of the novel, in which Robinson’s characters are clearly shown.
    Defoe wrote his novel in a simple style and his language is easy to understand. His novel-writing set a milestone of the modern English novel. In his later part of life, he was in poor health and lived very poorly. He died on April 24th, 1731.
    小题1:.Daniel Defoe was ______ and the writer of ______.
    A．an Englishman, “A Tale of Two Cities”B．an American, “A Million Pound Note”
    C．a Frenchman, “The Lost Necklace”D．an Englishman, “Robinson Crusoe”
    小题2:. How old was he when he began to write his famous novel “Robinson Crusoe”?
    A．He was in his sixties.B．He was in his fifties.

    A．two, his lonely lifeB．three, his characters

    小题4:. “Every household” in this passage means ______.
    A．all members of a familyB．all people

    Sheep Smarter than Thought
    London—Sheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.
    Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces—which they think is a sure sign of intelligence.
    Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes (电极) to measure their brain activity , which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years .
    “If they can do that with faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else?” Kendrick said in an interview.
    So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.
    Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb (unable to speak, unintelligent) animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything.
    “All animals, including humans, once they are frightened, don’t tend to show signs of intelligent action,” he explained.
    In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.
    “The most important finding (of the study) is that they are able , both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized , to remember a large number of individuals for a very long time,” said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”
    小题1:From the first paragraph we can find that______.         .
    A．people used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals
    B．people used to raise sheep in a wrong way
    C．people don’t consider sheep as clever animals
    D．people have done a lot of research on sheep
    小题2:From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_____.         .
    A．scientists have learned everything about sheep’s intelligence
    B．scientists have learned a little about sheep’s intelligence
    C．scientists can’t do anything more about sheep’s memory
    D．scientists do not have to research animals’ memory
    小题3:As is known in the passage,__________.
    A．sheep are among the week animals
    B．it is not right for people to raise sheep in groups
    C．when sheep eat grass in the field their minds may be active
    D．if people feel frightened, they may become braver

    The Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.
    More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghai-­based Wenhui Daily reported.
    The World Health Organization predicted that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.
    Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence (发生) of crime, drug­taking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.
    Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable (不稳定的) emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the one-­child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.
    Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one-­child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well­being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling (咨询) to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40­minute counseling lessons,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
