    One day I happened to finding a chatting room in my QQ, there people were chatting in English. I tried to chat with some of them. To my surprised, I found the oral English of some junior students were better than me. I asked them for advice and they told me to practice more on QQ. But every day after that I would spend one hour practice my oral English on QQ. Day by day I learned from many useful words and expressions. With time went by, I found that I could even communicate some college students freely.

A Deed a Day

   It was a busy day as usual. I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder and chin. The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters. We had only about twenty minutes to eat _41__ we had to take the girls to their next activity. My husband seemed a bit _42_ that dinner was not on the table. 

   That night, I had a heavy __43__, thinking we were becoming taskmasters on an assembly line (流水线). We had become too __44__ in our own tasks and not very considerate towards those around us. We needed to do something to bring back some meaning into our lives. It needed to be something that would __45_ our own agendas and energize us toward the common good.

    I bought a notebook, named it “Our Deed Diary” and held a family meeting. I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a _46_ for others every day. It could be for each other or for people outside our__47_. And we all needed to write it down in the notebook.

    I thought one deed a day was too easy. However, it was actually __48_ than it seemed because it had to be something __49__what we had already done. Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not __50_.

    We had a rough __51__. On some days, someone would forget to __52_ a good deed, while on other days, we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary. After a few weeks though, I found myself waking up in the morning trying to __53__what good deed I could do for someone that day. My daughters began to rush to me after school to __54_me the good deed they had done.

    Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n) __55__ in our lives. Instead of always __56_ what the day will bring for us, we think about what we can do for someone else. 

    Who would have thought that trying to do a simple kindness a day would be so 57  I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only __58_ by giving to someone else from your heart. The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don’t even look for or expect anything in __59_. So, when someone does return the favor, it is an enormous and positive __60_.

American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name. In the eastern part of their range(地理分布区), most of these bears have shiny black fur, but in the west they grow brown, red or even yellow coats. To the north, the black bear is actually gray or white. Even in the same litter(窝), both brown and black furred bears may be born.

    Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, ranging in length from 5 to 6 feet, weighing from 300 to 500 pounds. Their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and hearing are not as good as their sense of smell. Like all bears, the black bear is shy, clumsy(笨拙的) and rarely dangerous. However, if cornered, the black bear can become a fearful enemy.

    Black bears feed on leaves, roots, fruit, insects, fish and even larger animals. One of the most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. Unlike many other animals, bears do not actually hibernate(冬眠). Although the bear does not eat during the winter months, its temperature remains almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute.

    Most black bears live alone, except during the mating season (交配季节). A litter of one to four cubs is born in January or February and they remain with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old. Black bears can live as long as thirty years in the wild, and even longer in game preserves set aside for them.

48. What do we know about the fur color of American black bears?

   A. Most of them have black fur.    

B. Their fur color depends on their living range.

   C. They change their fur color throughout their life.

   D. They are always of the same fur color as their brothers.

49. American black bears have a good sense of       .

A. smell          B. hearing           C. eyesight          D. taste

50. Which of the following is TRUE about American black bears? 

   A. Their way of “hibernating” is unique.

B. They are able to live at most thirty years.

   C. They are regarded as the smallest bear in the world.

   D. The babies can soon live by themselves after birth.

You are _  (61)  _ (mistake) if you think all Chinese people speak in the same way. Have you ever seen a person from Shanghai try talking to someone from Guangzhou? It is quite likely that both of them may feel _  (62)  _ (puzzle)! The Chinese language, as a whole, _  (63)  _ (use) the same set of characters, but even the same characters can have different pronunciations. That is _  (64)  _ it is difficult for people to understand each other. _  (65)  _ (Fortunate), the widespread use of Putonghua in China has made great _  (66)  _ (contribute) to people’s communication, though people from different areas tend _  (67)  _ (speak) with various accents.

People in Northern Europe are much luckier. Even though people from Sweden, Denmark and Norway have their own _  (68)  _ (office) languages, it is very convenient for them to communicate with one _  (69)  _.

For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.

     Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants (污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.

     People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.

     As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building-green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.

21. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _______.

A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill

B. man-made building materials give off dangerous gases

C. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildings

D. the flow of air indoors is limited, which is very harmful

22. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in ________.

A. all kinds of offices       B. every old house        

C. all kinds of houses         D. every modern house 

23. The indoor air pollution is caused by ________.

A. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside

B. the building way that the builders want to save energy

C. the building things that are made of man-made materials

D. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow

24. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ________.

A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors

B. plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicals

C. plants may take in more oxygen which people need

D. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy

It was Mother’s day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, its not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

    At the front of the supermarket a charity (慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better, “he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”

    By now paramedics (救援人员) had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

      Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”

      At that, the old man started crying and said, “thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.” The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smite.

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place. Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before.

Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university. The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”. Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.

4．Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.

A.they hope their children may easily find a job there

B.all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries

C.the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries

D.the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends

5．“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.

6．What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Parents want better education for their kids

B.Parents feel lonely and miss their families

C.Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family

D.Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem

Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：

·Schedule yearly exams. __11__ Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.

·Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long­term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses. __12__

·Give your eyes a break. Two­thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. __13__ Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20­second break and look at something 20 feet away.

·__14__ As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.

·Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. __15__ Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.

A．Eat your greens.

B．They can properly protect your eyes.

C．Eye care should begin early in life.

D．Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear.

E．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.

F．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight.

G．This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day.

On one particular day, I was teaching in a very   20 classroom. I was managing behavior all morning, and by lunchtime I knew I needed a coffee to     21 the afternoon. So during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the     22 , I realized I had locked my phone and my     23 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the     24 , which was a good five-minute drive. If I ran back really quickly, I could    25 it. But it was winter, and a sudden fall on the ice would only make the situation much    26 .

So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and     27 the man at the counter, who happened to be the     28 , to call a taxi for me. After I     29 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone     30 I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to     31 to my school at this point.

A moment later, the manager returned    32 to tell me that the line was     33 , and that he had not been able to     34 the taxi yet. I think both     35 and fear could be seen in my face.

Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and    36 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to     37 before the bell rang!

This experience made me     38 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has a(n)     39 influence on those who receive them.

My suggestion is that the meeting ____(put) off till next Sunday

A new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn.

"Even if companies are marketing them as educational, they're not teaching the babies anything at this time," said Anna Sosa the study's author.

Researchers listened to audio(声音的)recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers compared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks, or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.

Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names and descriptions of the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.

Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants’ play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.

Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. "Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only cognitive(认知的) skills, but social and developmental skills," she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just "make believe" activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.

32. What’s Anna Sosa’s attitude towards companies claiming that their toys are educational?

A. supportive               B. doubtful          C. uninterested          D. indifferent

33. We can learn from the text that babies in the research __________.

A. interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toys

B. liked traditional toys better than electronic toys

C. talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toys        

D. listened to audio recordings of their parents                                        

34. Children develop language more quickly when their parents __________.

A. buy them a lot of toys

B. teach them how to speak

C. read them picture books often

D. throw away their electronic toys

35. According to Adrienne Appell, playing __________.

A. can’t take the place of learning

B. shouldn’t take most of children’s time

C. can’t develop children’s cognitive skills

D. is good to children’s overall development
