At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs — it was the sound of my favorite violin. “Thief!” I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief. Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!” Hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.” I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?” “Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied. “Then, I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He trembled(颤抖) for a moment and ran out without looking back. I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo. A few years later, at a music competition of senior high school students in Melbourne, I was invited to judge the final. Finally, a violin player called Merritt won the first prize with his strength! After the award, Merritt ran to me holding a violin box, excited, asked, “Mr. Brian, do you still know me? You have given me a violin, which I have been treasuring until today! Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret…” It turned out that he was “Mr. Ram’s nephew Michael”! Tears welled up in my eyes. 【1】Why did the author address the boy “Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael”? A.Because Michael is the boy’s name. B.Because he mistook the boy for Michael. C.Because he wanted to protect the boy’s self-respect. D.Because he would like to make friends with the boy. 【2】Who is the author? A.The housekeeper. B.The house owner. C.The boy’s uncle. D.The boy’s teacher. 【3】Which of the following can best describe the author? A.Kind and devoted. B.Thoughtful and generous. C.Humorous and selfless. D.Warm-hearted and energetic. 【4】What message does the story convey? A.Music has a strong power. B.Being kind can get rewarded. C.Practice makes a good musician. D.Small kindness can make a difference. |

In so many ways, cyberspace(网络空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love. Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity(身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star. Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this stress on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat? But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail. Supporters say that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually(智力地) first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way. But others argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully change their words to fit whatever image(形象) they want to give. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This unavoidably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person. So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.” 【1】What do we know about the passage? A.It is possible that people can’t find true love online. B.Appearance is important for relationship online. C.A shy person will definitely become talkative online. D.People are encouraged to create images in cyberspace. 【2】What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us? A.The face is the reflection of heart. B.Don’t judge a book by its cover. C.Things are not always what they seem. D.Inner beauty is more important than appearance. 【3】What does “this” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A.One’s imagination. B.Love relationship. C.The online friend. D.The real friend. 【4】What is the author’s attitude towards looking for love cyberspace? A.Positive. B.Disappointing. C.Unconcerned. D.Objective. |

From encouraging schoolwork and sports to modeling values as a child grows, parents have great influences on their children’s lives. They are, however, not the only influences—especially after children enter school. While parents may want to lead their child along a certain path, a parents’ job is to prepare a child for independence and the ability to achieve what they choose. To parent effectively, it’s not enough to simply avoid the obvious dangers like abuse, neglect. Indeed, the National Academy of Sciences delineates four major responsibilities for parents: maintaining children’s health and safety, promoting their emotional health and happiness, developing social skills, and preparing children intellectually. Many studies suggest that the best-adjusted children are brought up by parents who find a way to combine warmth with clear behavioral expectations. Parents may find the Four C’s helpful: care (showing acceptance and affection), consistency (maintaining a stable environment), choices (allowing the child to develop independence), and consequences (using results of choices, whether positive or negative). Not every parenting style is for the child’s benefit. There is such a thing as overparenting, which can cripple children as they move into adulthood and make them unable to deal with the difficulties. Two examples of overparenting styles include “helicopter parenting,” in which children are over-monitored and kept out of harm’s way, and “snowplow parenting,” in which potential difficulties are removed from a child’s path. Both can negatively impact a child’s later independence, mental health, and self-worth. Of course, there is such a thing as too-little parenting, too, and research proved that lack of parenting often leads to poor behaviors in children. This may be, in part, because it encourages the young to be rely too much on peer culture. Finally, parents should try hard to be loving but firm, while giving children enough space to develop their own interests, explore independence, and experience failure. 【1】According to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3, good parents ______. A.take advantage of positive results to guide children B.simply avoid the obvious dangers like abuse and neglect C.care about children’s physical, emotional and social well-being D.bring up their children in a changeable environment 【2】What does the underlined word “cripple” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Damage one’s body. B.Weaken one’s ability. C.Hurt one’s feeling. D.Shorten one’s way. 【3】How does the author develop the passage? A.By telling stories. B.By making comparisons. C.By analyzing data. D.By expressing opinions. 【4】What’s the best title of the passage? A.What are unhealthy parenting styles? B.What are the responsibilities of parents? C.How do good parents treat their children? D.How do parenting styles affect children’s development? |

Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things. You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything. 【1】 Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you. This is by far the most important tip in this article. Sit down and get a move on! Reading more about motivation won’t help. Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help. 【2】 So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you. Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.” 【3】 You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice. A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self-belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream. Think about how far you have come. You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it. Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done. Think about it. Write down your past successes. 【4】 You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results. Accept failure as a positive learning experience and judge unsuccessful work and mistakes as part of the growth process. When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it. Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent. 【5】. A.Do you feel the push-back of laziness? B.Only doing helps get everything going. C.Be aware of your self-talk and stay confident. D.This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t take action. E.Push through! Daily motivation tricks help you to realize your dreams. F.Consider using a diary to keep track of them. G.And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success. |
