Sometimes we experience pain that seems just too big to feel, too frightening to face - it looks like a tsunami. So, we run. My tsunami came when I was nine years old. I was woken up by my mother’s screams - “Bob? Bob?! BOB!” I ran to my parents’ bedroom. My father was on all fours, unconscious. My mother was crazy - desperately trying to figure out how to stop what was happening. I ran to the phone - 9-1-1, the neighbors, anyone - “help us!” Soon rescue came, but my father didn’t come back to life. When my friends came to comfort me, I remember “pulling myself together” as I walked toward them, determining to show them that I was fine. The more I denied my pain, the more I was praised by the adults around me-”Oh, look how strong she is!” So, I kept saying “I’m fine.” Over and over and over. I said it enough - performed it enough - that I even fooled myself. I believed that I was okay. But pain doesn’t just “go away” - that whole “time heals” thing is a total crock. 30 years after my father died, when I looked around for an explanation for all the years of destructive behavior, I couldn’t find the root of the pain in my life because I had covered it up so well. All the “I’m fine” - 30 years of them - buried the pain of that nine years old girl. Her pain had been trying to come out, to be heard, to be healed. And, finally, it was. After years of treatment, I found my way back to that night where the pain started, back to the tsunami. This time, I didn’t run. It hurt - it still hurts - but now, when it hurts, I let the pain come. Fm not scared to say, “I’m not fine” - because I know, eventually, I will be. 【1】What did the author do when her father was in danger? A. She ran out to look for rescue. B. She kept calm and asked for help. C. She offered first aid to him at once. D. She was too afraid to do anything. 【2】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “crock” in Paragraph 5? A. fact B. theory C. experiment D. lie 【3】Why was the author praised? A. She behaved politely. B. She seemed to be confident. C. She could look after herself. D. She could handle the blow properly. 【4】What lesson can we get from the author’s experience? A. Hiding our pain can be harmful. B. Expressing pain is not very easy. C. Being strong means hiding one’s pain. D. Children are good at covering up their pain. |

Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years. In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows. In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need. But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages. 【1】Why do people move to live in cities or towns? A.Because they can live more comfortably there. B.Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life. C.Because they mainly want to find work there. D.Because they are sure of having a better life there. 【2】Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district? A.Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district. B.People usually work and live in the business district. C.A business district usually lies in the city center downtown. D.Nearly every major city has its own business district. 【3】In the United States, many people work in the center of a big city________. A.and live there B.but live in the suburbs of the city C.and live in another city D.but live in rural areas 【4】We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ________. A.has been going on for more than 2,000 years B.will surely continue in the future C.may not continue in the future D.has now stopped already |

The fashionable technology of virtual reality (虚拟现实) (VR) --- the wonderful world created by computers --- is finally here, but before you rush out to buy the headset, you’ll want to take notice of experts’ warnings. “These devices are designed mostly for adult use,” said Dr. Justin Asgarpour, Vancouver optometrist (whose job is to examine people’s eyes and to sell glasses). Little research has been done about the long-term effects of VR on children, but makers have not designed the VR headsets for young eyes. VR headset maker Oculus Rift states that younger users may suffer from discomfort or ill health effects, and they are in a very important period of visual development. “What a study has suggested is that a VR device can actually cause what we call amblyopia, potential lazy eyes, in these children with pre-existing visual conditions,” Dr. Asgarpour said. Even children without underlying eye conditions could experience problems, like temporary double vision. Adults should be careful too, according to the doctor, who says longer virtual reality experiences can lead t balance problems. You should be careful of your surroundings and be careful not to trip over wires. Those with heart conditions are advised not to play. But there are some positive health uses of virtual reality. The technology has been used to treat conditions like fear of heights, and it’s also being used to help treat addictions. “What we’re trying to do is take people into a drug-related setting and let them experience cravings (extremely strong wishes for something,)” Dr. Zach Rosenthal with Duke University said. He and his team take addicts inside a virtual house and use a series of tones to condition them to reduce their cravings. A lot more research needs to be done about the long-term health effects of VR, but in the meantime you had better spend only a limited time on VR and make sure your children use it as little as possible. 【1】What may be Oculus Rift’s attitude to children’s use of VR? A. Discouraging. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Curious 【2】What did Asgarpour say about VR? A. It could help to improve users’ balance. B. It was badly in need of improvements. C. It could be used to treat heart disease. D. It might cause kids’ sight problems. 【3】Why does the author mention Rosenthal’s study? A. To explain the harm of addictions. B. To prove VR’s beneficial effects. C. To comment on VR’s medical uses. D. To discuss people’s cravings for VR. 【4】What are scientists expected to find out? A. Why children are showing much interest in VR. B. How people can use VR to improve their health. C. Why VR is getting more popular at the present time. D. How VR influences users over a long period of time. |
