I start to wonder what else had changed since I’d been gone. My parents are in an awkward puzzle, wondering how to treat me now----whether to treat me—still their daughter—as one of them, an adult, or as the child they feel they sent away months earlier.
I run into two of my best friends from high school; we stare at each other, expressionless. We ask the simple questions and give simple answers. It’s as if we have nothing to say to each other. I wonder how things have changed so much in such a small amount of time. We used to laugh and promise that no matter how far away we were, our love for each other would never change. Their interests don’t interest me anymore, and I find myself unable to relate my life to theirs.
I had been so excited to come home, but now I just look at it all and wonder: Is it me? Why hadn’t the world stood still here while I was gone?  My room isn’t the same, my friends and I don’t share the same promise, and my parents don’t know how to treat me—or who I am, for that matter.
I get back to school feeling half-satisfied, but not disappointed. I sit up in my bed in my dorm room, surrounded by my pictures, dolls. As I wonder what has happened, I realize that I can’t expect the world to stand still and move forward at the same time.  I can change and expect that things at home will stay the same. I have to find comfort in what has changed and what is new; keep the memories, but live in the present.
A few weeks later, I’m packing again, this time for winter break. My mom meets me at the door. I have come home accepting the changes, not only in my surroundings, but most of all in me.

“We’ve been good friends for so many years. And I don’t think you meant to do that ...” I said to myself, looking at Jack, my friend who was running across the  36   field.
How I wish I could join them! But it was impossible because of the pain in my left foot, caused by Jack.
I first met Jack in a football match in the elementary school. When my team looked as if we were  37 , Jack, who was watching, volunteered to join us. He was so confident and skilled that we won. From then on, Jack and I often played together and became best friends.
But something happened before an important football match between Class Six and my class. My class had so many good players that we had to  38   the best ones. Jack and I were in  the same  team. The match was close in the first half. I saw my chance and was ready to score a goal. Suddenly, Jack  39   me. He slid to stop the ball, but collided  with my left foot. I knew I had lost the chance to score and was  40   the field. But what really hurt me was that Jack didn’t say sorry.  And when some of my teammates said he did it on purpose to  41   me from scoring, I felt even  42 .
Now I stand here, with tears in my eyes. I don’t want to  43   those words but I don’t know how to persuade myself they are  44  . Then everything changes when Jack scores and wins! How excited I am!
While I am still  45   in excitement, someone pats my shoulder. It is Jack, with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry that you can not join in because of my  46   . But you see, Jason, we beat them! No matter whether you joined in or not, you’ve made a contribution. Come on, let’s celebrate!” Suddenly, I am  47   by the players. The sunshine is so bright that I close my eyes. Riding high above my teammates, I feel so happy. And I know the  friendship  between Jack and me will last forever.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have   11  how difficult it is to write a   12  children’s book. Either the author has aimed too   13 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,   14  the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are   15  very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 16  who hears the story and the adult who   17  it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this,   18  the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not   19  to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as   20  of children’s literature(文学) were in fact written for   21 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often   22  the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a   23   and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(连环画), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop   24  to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so   25  that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥协) over the bedtime story.

Your genetic makeup plays a big part in determining your size and weight. If both your parents are tall, there is a good chance you’ll be tall. But if your parents are smaller than average, you may want to rethink that professional basketball career!
The same goes for your body type. Have you ever heard someone say a person is “big boned?” It’s a way of saying the person has a large frame, or skeleton(骨骼). Big bones usually weigh more than small bones. That’s why it’s possible for two kids with the same height, but different weight, to both the right weight.
Being overweight can run in someone’s family, but it may not be because of their genes. Poor eating and exercise habits also run in families and these may be the reasons the members of a family are overweight. And even though some kids gain weight more easily than others, when they eat right and exercise, most kids can have a healthy weight that’s right for them. It’s true- the way you live can change the way you look.
How much your weight is a balance between the calories you eat and the calories you use. If you eat more calories than your body needs to use, you will gain too much weight. If you spend you free time watching TV, your body won’t use as many calories as it would if you played basketball, skated, or went for a walk. But if you eat more and exercise less, you may become overweight. On the other hand, if you eat less and exercise more, you may lose weight.
小题1: Which one can be used as the best title of this passage?
A.What Makes Me the Weight I Have?
B.How Can I Lose More Weight?
C.What Makes Me the Height I Have?
D.Is the Way You Live Important?
小题2:_______ might be the most important in determining your size and weight.
A.Your father and mother
B.Your genetic structure
C.Your diet and habit
D.Doing exercise in the morning
小题3:If two kids are of the same height _______.
A.they must have large frames.
B.they must be of the same size
C.they must be of the same weight
D.their weight might be different
小题4:Which one of the following is TRUE according to the third paragraph?
A.Eating right and exercise normally can keep you healthy.
B.The members of a rich family must be overweight.
C.The way you live has nothing to do with the way you look.
D.the members of a poor family can’t be overweight.
小题5: ______ can help you to get your weight right.
A.Watching TV in your spare time.
B.Eating more and doing less exercise
C.Eating less and doing more exercises
D.Sleeping more in your spare time

By choosing to let go of the past, we sweep out all the ashes that weigh us down and affect every aspect of our health, and our peace of mind.
My friend Jean was divorced after a thirty-year marriage that produced three daughters, one son and eight grandchildren. Because she actually raised them single-handedly, Jean was hurt and angry that the children didn't take her part after the divorce. For months she refused to attend any family celebration to which her former husband Jim was invited. When I reasoned that her children’s understanding of the relationship with and between the parents was probably altogether different from hers, she stuck to the belief that she was right.
One day Jean called in tears. “Saturday is my granddaughter's birthday, and I want to be with her, but I can’t bring myself to face my former husband.”  “Jim isn't the problem,” I said gently, “it's false pride. Instead of holding on to the painful past, which is over and done, let the feelings go and get on with your life. You're depriving yourself of the joy of sharing in these important occasions, while Jim feels free to experience them. Tell me, would you rather be right, or be happy?”
That must have done the trick because when Saturday arrived, Jean appeared at her daughter's home carrying her famous chocolate-chip cookies and a beautiful birthday
cake.
How great it feels to let go! And the more we practice the art of letting go of all negativity, the better able we become to devote our thoughts, our time, and our energy to living joyfully in the present, what ever age we happen to be.
小题1: It can be inferred that ____.
A.Jim did very little to bring up the children during their marriage.
B.The writer thought Jean and Jim shouldn't have divorced.
C.The children were on their father's side and didn't invite Jean to any family celebration.
D.Jean had been too tough on Jim before they divorced.
小题2:The underlined phrase “depriving yourself of” is closest in meaning to ____ .
A.persuading yourself to getB.taking away from yourself
C.taking false pride of yourself D.talking yourself into showing
小题3:In the writer's opinion, ____.
A.Jean and Jim should be remarried
B.a broken family could live together in peace
C.to be happy is more meaningful than to be right
D.everyone should look into the future

Autumn means different things to different people. It all depends on your personality, said British naturalist Richard Mabey. "Personality shapes your view of the season," he said. "You may see it as a fading away, a packing up(结束), or as a time of packing in another sense – the excited gathering of resources before a long journey."
If this is true, perhaps it tells us a little about, for instance, Thomas Hood, the 19th Century English poet. About November, he wrote:
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees
November!
On the other hand, another English poet John Keats, already sensing he was seriously ill, was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language, To Autumn. He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it.
According to Richard Mabey, Keats has the biological evidence on his side. Autumn is not a time of slowing down, but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures. For example, just at the moment that Keats's "gathering swallows" (in To Autumn) are departing for Africa, millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland, Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. According to scientists, before falling, the leaves transfer their chlorophyll(叶绿素) and carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safe-keeping over winter. What remains are the natural antioxidants(防老剂) in the leaves: the yellow and orange carotenoids(类胡萝卜素), and another protective chemical specially produced for autumn, the bright-red anthocyanin(花青素). High color is not a signal of deterioration(退化) and decline, but of detox(排毒的) ability and good health.
A century after Keats, the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: "Suppose we saw ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn. [And that we could] disintegrate(瓦解) like autumn leaves…dropping their substance like chlorophyll. Would not our attitude towards death be different?"
小题1:From Thomas Hood’s poem, we may infer that _______.
A.he suffered a lot from cold November
B.he missed the shining summer days very much
C.he had a negative attitude towards autumn
D.he enjoyed butterflies and bees very much
小题2:Which word can best describe Loren Eiseley’s attitude towards autumn?
A.Optimistic. B.Fearful. C.Doubtful.D.Realistic.
小题3:In autumn, leaves turn yellow before falling because ______.
A.they can’t bear the freezing
B.they can’t get enough water from the wood part
C.chlorophyll and carbohydrates have been lost through leaves
D.chlorophyll and carbohydrates have come back to the wood part
小题4:What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.Man can never live long, just as leaves must leave the tree annually.
B.Man is different from autumn leaves, which will come again the next spring.
C.Man should treat death calmly, just like autumn leaves fall to the ground.
D.Man should have a positive attitude towards death, quite different from autumn leaves.
