I often wonder how people can get so angry,so deep in their own belief that they become deaf to anything that may differ from their beliefs.I’ve often been told that I’m too open-minded,listening to others'viewpoints so openly that they become my own.Maybe that comes from my practice of actively listening to others.It means that I do really hear them instead of responding only out of politeness.Maybe it's because I was brought up by parents who didn’t necessarily speak to me about respecting others but modeled it for me through their own actions.They treated everyone equally,from what I remember,never looking down upon others because they were different from us.
As I raise my daughters,I try my best to show them love and understanding in all situations. When they misbehave, talk back, or break the rules,I'll lovingly analyze the reasons behind their behaviour.I'll be tolerant(宽容的)towards their differing opinions and become open and curious about their ideas.And I'll be mindful of how I treat and speak to others,showing equal respect to everyone.
My expectation is that if I show my daughters unconditional love and acceptance,they’ll learn to show the same love to others.I hope that they will not see difference as a threat,but as a way to add richness to their very existence.It's beautiful to live in a world filled with so many differences.
So,as I write this,welcoming my second daughter to my family,I'm fully aware that change begins with how I act and what decisions I make.Every generation carries its own set of problems.All we have control over is how we respond to those problems.This is what I will teach my girls:how to control their own emotional world;how to hold onto love as well as their beliefs and values;how to remember that hate and anger are never the answer and that tolerance and love will always take them further in life.
【1】The author seems different from other people in terms of_______________.
A.her deep understanding of belief B.her reaction to different opinions
C.her negative views on social politeness D.her confusing attitude towards her parents
【2】What does the author intend to do as for raising her kids?
A.Encourage them to have different opinions.
B.Teach them some useful conversation skills.
C.Punish them heavily for their bad behaviors.
D.Set them an example of love and acceptance.
【3】What do Paragraph 3 imply?
A.Love me,love my dog. B.Nothing seek,nothing find.
C.Don't put the cart before the horse. D.Music with different tones sounds beautiful.
【4】What can be the best title for this text?
A.The art of social communication B.The importance of love and tolerance
C.The ways to effectively listen to others D.The positive attitude towards hate and anger

I am a person who has always loved reading. For me, it is easy to get lost in a book and return to the world a couple of hours later having been on an adventure. As a 6-year-old, I could be found reading Harry Potter, a difficult book for a 6-year-old but I enjoyed it all the same. Now, as a student, it is harder to find the time to read books for pleasure; however, I relish the summers where I have the time to read to satisfy myself. Growing up, it soon became clear that spelling for me was not difficult and I had a wide vocabulary. This is because I began reading from such a young age.
My advice for you as English learners would be to read the books that you have often read in your own language in English. Reading, stories especially, is a great way of improving your vocabulary and spelling without noticing as you are lost in the story. For me, I have read Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in French and am currently reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Spanish. This is a really useful way of being able to read in another language because I know the story so well in English, it is easy to follow the story in the foreign language even if I do not understand every word.
This is another important point: it is not necessary to understand every word. If you understand the meaning of the sentence, each word is not necessarily important. Sometimes it is impossible to translate directly from one language to another. Quite often, if a word is used several times in a text, you can gain your own meaning from it and it makes much more sense than if you tried to translate it in the first place.
Give it a try. If you like reading you could be opening up a whole new world of literature.
【1】What can we learn from the author’s reading experiences?
A.He often spent hours taking an adventure.
B.He didn’t like Harry Potter any more with aging.
C.He could spare enough time reading for fun as a student.
D.Reading helped him a lot since his early age.
【2】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “relish” in paragraph 1?
A.Spend. B.Lose. C.Enjoy. D.Hate.
【3】What suggestion does the author give for learning English?
A.Reading English stories you’re familiar with in your own language.
B.Reading Harry Potter in different languages.
C.Translating word by word.
D.Understanding the story in your own language.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Better Ways to Read stories.
B.The Benefits of Reading.
C.How to Improve Spelling and Vocabulary.
D.Is It Necessary to Know Each Word?

Don’t know how to take care of your plants? A little spider-like robot will chase the sunlight, run to shade, dance when it’s doing well and stomp (跺脚) when it needs to be watered.
It’s called the HEXA Plant, a six-legged machine created by Vincross, a robotics company in Beijing, China.
The robot plant will crawl toward the sunlight when it needs it, then will rotate (转动) when it enjoys the sun in order to absorb its rays on all sides. When it needs to cool off, it will look for shade. It also plays with humans and dances when it is happy, moving its legs up and down. But it gets “angry” when it’s thirsty by stomping its legs.
With six legs, the HEXA Plant can move anywhere-in any direction and around any objects in its path. It’s even nimble enough to navigate (导航) unexpected drops, like if it had to suddenly step over a gap between two tabletops. It has a variety of “eyes”, including an infrared sensor (红外线感应器), a distance sensor, and a 720p camera with night vision, which could be very handy if you want it to send it out like a guard dog at night, to go check on any sudden noises. It has a built-in Wifi as well as various ports (USB) to expand its many talents.
So sure, it’ s not as cute as a garden gnome (守护精灵), but it can do a lot more than just stand there and look cute.
The inventor of the cute robot, Sun Tiangi, was inspired by a dead sunflower. He had idea why it died-whether it was because of the lack of sunshine or water. That’s when he had the idea for the walking plant. He says plants are passive. He wants to allow plants to experience movement.
【1】What can’t the HEXA Plant do?
A.Find a cool place when it feels hot.
B.Play with people.
C.Drink water when it’s thirsty.
D.Move in any direction.
【2】What does the underlined word “nimble” in the forth paragraph mean?
A.Happy. B.Clever. C.Angry. D.Passive.
【3】What inspired Sun Tianqi to invent the HEXA Plant?
A.A walking plant. B.A dead sunflower.
C.Sunshine and water. D.A strange animal.
【4】Where can we most probably read the passage?
A.In an advertisement. B.In a novel.
C.In a science magazine. D.In a storybook.

【1】 However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. 【2】 For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
【3】 Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. 【4】 Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. 【5】 And best of all, it’s free.
A.It will cost you a lot.
B.This causes major environmental effects.
C.There are many environment-friendly sports.
D.Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.
E.If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones.
F.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.
G.More and more people are concerned about environmental protection.
