Is smile just a facial expression? Of course not! It is not only used to express pleasure, affection, and friendliness, but also the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs：“Never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that smile is a language all its own—a universal language—understood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will. One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed quite unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. On the outside stood a young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, brilliant smile covered his face. The magic power of that smile made all bitterness within me melt, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I remarked, in passing. Then, obeying an impulse(冲动), I turned back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” At that moment I felt changed. Carlos’ smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said, ‘Thank you!’’’ “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly confused. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that.” I insisted. “He’ll understand, I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. 【1】The writer marched angrily out of the store because________. A. he bought nothing B. he was unlucky to meet with a rigid clerk C. he was unfriendly D. he conflicted with the clerk in the store 【2】What do you think of the woman? A. Curious and sincere with good English. B. Helpful and curious with poor English. C. Enthusiastic and diligent with good English. D. Warm-hearted and diligent with poor English. 【3】In the following paragraph, the writer may mention________. A. how he used smile to solve problems B. how hard he tried to look for the young man C. the lesson Carols had taught him D. how he became a big person of ten feet tall 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A. A rigid clerk. B. A powerful smile. C. A helpful woman. D. An impressive young man. |

We all have some people whom we respect very much, like our family members, our friends or our teachers. Respect often means different things to different people. There are several aspects that many people can agree on, though. For example, at its most basic level, respect means being kind and considerate to others. Respect can take many forms. Don’t make fun of others. Put yourself in other people’s shoes and think about how they feel. Remember the Golden Rule: treat others the same way you’d want to be treated. Respect is important because it sets the proper stage for all our human interactions. Friendship, love, and even basic communication must all start with respect. Everyone wants to be respected. To get respect, though, you must also show respect for others. It’s always a two-way street. You can’t be impolite to others and expect respect in return. It’s easy to show respect. Be polite. Look for the best in people rather than concentrating on their mistakes. Show compassion to others and try to put their interests before your own. Make others comfortable when they’re uneasy. Help out whenever you can. When you pay it forward, amazing things can happen. And be respectful to everyone. The world is an unbelievably huge place filled with billions of people, each one of whom is unique and special. And they all deserve your respect! Be careful, though. Not everyone will show you respect all the time. In fact, you’ll probably see examples of impolite behaviour each and every day. How you respond to impolite behaviour, though, can make a huge difference. If you choose to respond to impolite behaviour by acting rudely yourself, you’ve gained nothing. You’ve only continued the pattern of impolite behaviour and set a bad example. Instead, act respectfully and set a good example. Consistently acting respectfully might just help others learn from your example! 【1】According to the Golden Rule, __________. A. you’d better walk in others’ shoes B. you can’t play jokes on other people C. you should pay attention to your feelings D. the way you are treated depends on yourself 【2】By saying “It’s always a two-way street” in Paragraph 4, the writer probably wants to tell us “______”. A. People should respect each other B. It is always safe to walk in the street C. Some leave and others come back D. There is only one street to go through 【3】The fifth paragraph is mainly written to tell us ______. A. where to find respect B. how to correct mistakes C. when to help others in time D. how to show respect for others 【4】According to the passage, what should we do if someone is impolite to us? A. Show him/her true respect. B. Leave him/her alone. C. Be kind to him/her sometimes. D. Set a special example to others. |

Food is extremely important to us human beings and rice is one of the main food in the world. Australian researchers have discovered a way to genetically engineer rice which would provide significant health benefits to more than half the world’s population. A study undertaken at the University of Tasmania, published in a respected journal of the National Academy of Sciences, discovered a method to increase the resistant starch (抗性淀粉）content in rice, making it more digestible and leading to lower rate of diabetes (糖尿病）and overweight. Steven Smith, the lead author of the study and a foreign expert for the Chinese government who has been appointed to work on crop improvement projects by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said increasing the higher resistant starch content gave this “designer” rice many added health benefits. “We have discovered that we can increase the amount of resistant starch in cooked rice, which could provide health benefits for a large number of people in Asia and beyond,” Smith said in a media release on Friday. “The same approach can be adapted for use in other cereals, including wheat. Not only can it have benefits for diabetes and obesity, but also for disorders of the bowel(肠）including cancer.” Rice is the main food for more than half the world’s population, providing much of the world with most of their calories. Smith said that as the rate of diabetes and obesity in Asian countries continued to grow, his “designer” rice could provide a way to limit health problems. “Not only does resistant starch reduce the possibility of a ‘sugar hit’ but it also reduces the appetite and promotes the growth of the healthy germs.” Smith said. Smith divides his time between the University of Tasmania and his research lab in Beijing where he hopes to make significant advance in sustainable (可持续的）living. 【1】What do we know about the study? A. It is part of Chinese crop improvement projects. B. It will have a significant effect on crop researches. C. It was jointly（联合地）carried out by Australia and China. D. It helps solve the food problem for over half of the world’s population. 【2】Based on the text, the resistant starch ________. A. exists in large amounts in cooked rice B. decreases the possibility of a “sugar hit” and provides more calories C. is helpful in digestion and lowers the rate of overweight and diabetes D. increases people’s appetite and improves the growth of healthy germs 【3】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _________. A. resistant starch B. cooked rice C. the approach D. media release 【4】Where does this text probably come from? A. An environmental report. B. A medical journal. C. An engineering textbook. D. An agricultural magazine. |

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Positive thinking does not mean you have to find every idea absolutely wonderful. It 【1】 (do) mean you have to be ready to explore an idea and to try and bring out whatever good features it has .The next step might be to find the 【2】 (weak) in the idea and to try and strengthen them, rather than use them 【3】 (simple) as an excuse for rejecting the whole idea. Finally, the idea, after it 【4】 (explore), may not be used because there is a 【5】 (good) one or because, good 【6】 it is, it is not suitable. There is 【7】 (something) wrong with being positive about an idea at first and then 【8】 (reject) it later, when you see that it won’t work.

Most of which we see is beauty and nature. One of the exceptions to the beauty is the litter some people throw out their windows as they are driving on the roads. One of the few drawbacks to living in the countryside is that public service, such as litter collection, are little available than they are closer to the city. A helping habit that my family practise regularly are picking up litter in our surrounding area. We have become so accustomed to do this that my little brother will often say, “There's some litter, Daddy, stop the car!” And we would often pull over and pick it up. It may seem strange, and we actually enjoy it. We pick up litter in parks, on sidewalks, practically anywhere. Once I even saw a complete stranger picking up litter close to where we live in. He smiled at me and said, “I saw you doing it, and it seemed like the good idea.” |
