My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症)last summer. Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed---my mother became my child, and I became her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gradually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience. My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients. When I visit her, feeling busy and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative. But when I appear cheerful and attentive, she is happy. This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people. I always thought I was very tolerant, but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”. With my mother I can now really be tolerant. Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness（不得体）. Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice. Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t offend（冒犯）anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant. I have also learned that everything has special value. When my mother got sick I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it. They are young and have enough going on with their education, and starting their careers. I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter. The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that I’m feeling overwhelmed（难以承受）, but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative（主动地）. They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. It shows me that it’s all worth it. 【1】Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. How I Cared for My Sick Mother B. How I Became More Tolerant C. What I Have Learned from Alzheimer’s D. Why I Am Feeling Overwhelmed 【2】Which of the following is common behavior of Alzheimer patients? A. Being curious about everything B. Being sensitive to others’ moods C. Being afraid of strange people D. Being particular about clothes 【3】We can infer that the writer’s daughters are ________. A. naughty B. selfish C. traditional D. considerate |

It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn’t fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who’s accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease. During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions. “We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.” One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize last year, TCM became even more famous internationally. However, all these achievements in TCM don’t mean that it’s problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects. Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine. “Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization. 【1】The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to . A.introduce the film to readers B.show TCM is increasingly popular C.arouse readers’ interest in Western medicine D.prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries 【2】We can learn from the passage that . A.TCM is not exact in curing diseases B.10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by locals C.86 countries have cooperated with China on TCM D.Tu Youyou’s success contributes to the popularity of TCM 【3】According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should . A.combine western medicine B.face no challenge at all C.give an exact description of its effects D.complete with western medicine 【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A.A report on TCM B.Opinions about TCM C.TCM & Western Medicine D.Traditional healing spreads |

The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep，but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep． Charles Czeisler，a professor at Harvard Medical School，and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment．For five days in a row，the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep．Their sleep patterns were monitored all night．Before and after each trial period，the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin（褪黑激素）was in their blood at any given time． When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books，they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning．People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights，and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion（分泌）was delayed by an hour and a half． The researchers conclude in today's journal article that gives the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents，more research into the"long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed．"Czeisler and colleagues go on，in the research paper，to note"Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk．" However，software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day，and there are also glasses that are made to filter（过滤）short wavelengths．While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users，it needs more research． 【1】In Charles Czeisler's experiment，all the subjects were asked to ______ ． A.sit in a row and receive the strict tests B.have their sleep patterns observed all night C.read a paper book and an iPad at the same time D.have their blood tested per hour during the trial 【2】The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to ______ ． A.feel less sleepy and tired in the day B.fall asleep more easily after reading C.have a lot more melatonin secretion D.become less energetic the next morning 【3】The special software recently developed can ______ ． A.remove the blue light from your devices completely B.help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength C.weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading D.be used in all the e-things widely and safely 【4】What's this passage mainly about？ ______ A.No e-reading in bed before sleep B.New software for night e-readers C.Wrong behaviors before bedtime D.No games on iPad in bed． |

Patients and doctors alike have long believed in the healing（治疗）power of humor. It is claimed that humor not only affects patients' moods, but can actually help them recover faster. Several studies seem to support this. Patients in better spirits are known to have a larger number of immune cells（免疫细胞）. Some have even claimed to have healed themselves of serious illnesses by reading comics and watching comedies. Despite all this,many researchers are not convinced. They point out the fact that many sufferings have been known to disappear naturally, with or without a daily dose of laughter. They also say that while optimism in general does seem to be related to better health, it is hard to tell which comes first. Humor in times of stress, however, clearly makes us feel better. On one level, it takes our minds off our troubles and relaxes us. On another, it releases powerful endorphins, a chemical produced by your body that reduces pain. There are cases where the appreciation of a good joke is indeed directly related to a person's health. It can show, for example, whether a person has suffered damage to one particular area of the brain: the right frontal lobe（额叶）. Scientists confirmed this by having people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list. Subjects with normal brains usually chose endings that were based on a relatively complex synthesis（综合）of ideas. Subjects with specifically located brain damage,however,responded only to slapstick（闹剧）endings,which did not depend on a particular context.When pressed,the brain-damaged subjects saw the logic in the correct endings.They simply did not find them funny. Of course, humor is largely an individual matter. Next time your friend does not get one of your jokes, there is no need to accuse him of being a lame-brain（脑残）. However,you might suggest that he lighten up-for the health of it. 【1】What does the underlined "this" in the second paragraph refer to? A.The fact that happy patients' have more immune cells. B.The fact that patients and doctors believe in humorous patients. C.The fact that humor helps improve patients' moods and recovery. D.The fact that comedies and comics help cure patients of their diseases. 【2】How does humor help reduce our stress? A.By providing us with optimism and courage. B.By helping reduce the number of immune cells. C.By making us laugh out loud to forget our troubles. D.By distracting（分散）our attention and releasing pain-reducing chemicals. 【3】What can the experiment in the sixth paragraph confirm? A.The relationship between good jokes and people's health. B.The connection between beginnings and endings. C.The relationship between complex ideas and brains. D.The connection between jokes and brain damage. 【4】Which would be the best title for the passage? A.Humor contributes to good health. B.Which comes first,humor or health? C.People need humor in times of stress. D.Humor can cure different illnesses. |

No matter what Gary did, it was never enough to please his father.【1】 When he described the wonderful girl he’d fallen in love with, he got a lecture warning him that she might be different than he thought. 【2】He tried to talk him out of it, explaining the advantages of being close to the family and the disadvantages of moving. Finally, Gary got angry, “Dad, I’m moving to get away from you!【3】” This time, to Gary’s surprise, his dad said with tears in his eyes, “All I ever wanted was to make you better and help you to be successful and avoid risks. 【4】 It’s why my business is so successful. Do you want me to ignore my experience and just be a cheerleader?” “Dad, our relationship isn’t about productivity,” Gary explained. “You’re my dad. Sometimes I need praise more than a push and approval (赞同) more than advice. 【5】 It’s not enough that you love me; I need you to appreciate me.” That’s an important lesson.
