On my first day of high school, going into math class, I was pointed and laughed at by two of my classmates. I initially thought my fly was open, or that something was stuck in my teeth. But as I took my seat, I heard one student whisper, “Why is a black boy taking Honors?” So, my fly wasn’t open. An honors level class had simply been taken by a student whose skin was brown. Many people think my clothes should be big enough for me to live in, or expect me to listen to only “black music.” In seventh grade, a group of my classmates fixed their cold stares on my clothes. They called out to me, “Go get your gangsta clothes.” In one of my Spanish classes, the teacher asked me, “Do you like rap music or rock music more?” I replied, “Rock.” The look of shock on my classmates’ faces made me uncomfortable. Now I still take all Honors courses. I still wear clothes that fit me. My music library covers from rock to pop to techno, and almost everything in between. When it comes to choosing my friends, I am still colorblind. I continue to do my best to work in school in order to reach my goals; and yet, when I look in the mirror, I still see skin of that same brown. I believe in being myself. I believe that I myself should decide who I am and what actions I take in life. In high school, popularity often depends on your willingness to follow trends. And I’ve been told that it doesn’t get much easier going into adulthood. But the only other option is to sacrifice my personality for the satisfaction and approval of others. This can be appealing, but I’m not going to do that. 【1】Why did his classmates laugh at him? A. His fly was open. B. Something was stuck in his teeth. C. He went into the wrong classroom. D. They had prejudice against him. 【2】What are black people usually believed to do? A. Listen to rap music. B. Wear small clothes. C. Take Honors courses. D. Attend Spanish classes. 【3】What does the underlined word “colorblind” probably mean? A. Making friends of the same skin color. B. Having no idea what friends to make. C. Treating people equally and fairly. D. Feeling hurt and offended inside. 【4】What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Following Popular Trends B. Being Content with Myself C. Having Faith in Skin Color D. Changing My Personality |

There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends. Marina, 27 years old, says, "I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn't consider her my best friend. Best friends don't pay for your wedding. Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying. While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together. Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren't speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother's emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don't care deeply about their mothers. It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well being. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always "trumps"(王牌) friend. 【1】The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”. A. differ B. prevent C. benefit D. change 【2】What do we know from the passage? A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend. B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship. C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship. D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother. 【3】The author proves his statements mainly by _________. A. listing data B. giving explanations C. quoting sayings D. making examples 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A. How to be a good mother and daughter？ B. Who is a mother’s best friend? C. Mother or friend? D. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend? |

Skeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews. Perhaps that explain why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming. So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.” Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”。 A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. That’s a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly. 【1】 According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”? A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”. B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet. C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities. D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment. 【2】Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s books? A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests. B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world. C. The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews. D. Industry–funded media present confusing information. 【3】The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_____. A. voice a different opinion B. find fault with Lomborg’s book C. challenge the authority of the media D. point out the value of scientific views. 【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye. B. To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews. C. To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in presenting information. D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media. |

Caregivers care for someone with an illness, injury or disability. Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. 【1】 Women especially are at risk for the harmful health effects of caregiver stress. These health problems may include stress and anxiety. There are ways to manage caregiver stress. The first thing is to learn ways to better help your loved one. 【2】 To find these classes, ask your doctor or call your local Area Agency on Aging. Take time out to meditate（冥想）or reflect. Spending 10 to 20 minutes twice a day to “clear your head” can work wonders when you’re feeling overburdened. Some caregivers learn meditation techniques from classes or books on the subject, while others simply take time out to quietly reflect. 【3】 Exercising is another good way to help mind and body recover. It’s one of the best-known techniques for reducing stress and keeping healthy. A quick walk several times each week gives you significant health benefits. 【4】Your library may offer exercise DVDs. Invite a friend over to join you. 【5】 Nursing a garden, watching a favorite TV show, or reading an article that interests you. Your favorite hobby can help “center” you and remind you that you still have a life outside of caregiving. You must make some time－even for 10－to take care of yourself. A. Stress from caregiving is common. B. Try to do something you enjoy every day. C. You’d better keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings. D. Find caregiving resources in your community to help you. E. Whichever way you choose, it’s important that you focus on clearing your mind. F. There are many good indoor choices, too, from walking in place to yoga or tai chi. G. Some hospitals offer classes that can teach you how to care for someone with an injury or illness. |
