My family loves the Golden Rule. But in all our years of treating others as we want to be treated, I have learned that this famous motto is a failure. That’s especially true in my family’s choice of food. My family of two parents and three daughters eats together only on birthdays, and even then, only at dinner. The other 1,090 meals of the year are eaten around different schedules. Even though our lives are totally a mess, for the five important meals each year, we eat as a family. When we were younger, my mother would prepare a delicious feast with the birthday girl (or birthday father) who was the guest of honor that day. Later, as my sisters and I were allowed to use the cookers, we made birthday meals for our parents. My parents prepare Indian food for our birthdays. They cook special party foods: tiki, samosa and sweets that would make any dentist worried. Being from northern India, they also make southern food that we rarely taste: bland idly, spicy samber and much more. This is the food they love best, and to show love, they make for us what they enjoy. Yet this is not the food my sisters and I would choose. For our parents’ birthdays, my sisters and I cook European foods: Finnish summer soup, German apple cake, Norwegian flat-bread and so on. Although my parents appreciate the food, we know this is not the food that they care for. My mother tries to cover her criticisms (批评) in praise, saying, “The soup is delicious，but it has very little flavor (味道).” My father refuses to eat pie, wondering what makes Europeans eat cooked fruit and raw vegetables. Despite different desires and tastes, we put the least bitter flavor into everything we cook according to the rule of treating others as we want to be treated. 【1】When does the family eat together? A.When they spend holidays. B.When they celebrate festivals. C.When they celebrate everyone’s birthdays. D.When they celebrate the parents’ birthdays. 【2】What would the author’s parents make for the kids’ birthdays? A.Something the Europeans would eat. B.Something the parents would like to eat. C.Something the kids really wanted to enjoy. D.Something that is only eaten in northern India. 【3】What would the mother do after eating what the kids made? A.She would refuse to eat what was not delicious. B.She would tell her daughters what she loved directly. C.She would bring forward her opinions in a polite way. D.She would suggest raw vegetables instead of cooked fruit. 【4】What does the author want to tell us in the text? A.Being good at cooking is necessary. B.Everyone has his own desire and taste. C.Kids should be grateful to their parents. D.Treat others according to their true preference. |

For some students, there's nothing better than sitting back during school breaks with some friends, family and a couple scary movies, not having to worry about homework. There are also students (such as myself) who get anxious during school breaks because we don't have anything to do. Over fall break I got a slight head start on my homework, wrote an article for this paper, did some laundry and other chores and slept about 10 hours every day. And I still found myself feeling bored. During breaks many students take the opportunity to camp while it's still warm outside, or ski if it's not. But you know what's happening to the people who make a habit of avoiding homework or productive activities over breaks? They're messing up their sleeping patterns, by procrastinating and then cramming in homework that's suddenly due in two days, and finally wishing the break could last a little longer. This is why we should make it a point to do homework over short breaks. I'm not saying that professors give students a 10-page essay to write or have them finish an entire book during a break — I'm just encouraging students to make use of time to get ahead. Breaks are for family, friends and oneself. Doing a lot of homework during breaks can make one feel burnt out, but it will benefit everyone to take some time to catch up or get ahead so that when the break ends and we have to pull ourselves back to reality, we're not left hoping uselessly for a longer break. When teachers give you homework over fall break, they' re forcing you to use your break the way you should. A break is meant to give you the gift of time, and it should be used wisely. Work today so you can party tomorrow. Party today and you'll be hating the work tomorrow. 【1】What do we know about the author during school breaks? A.She doesn't just want to get relaxed. B.She never gets bored due to her study. C.She tries to keep herself as busy as possible. D.She enjoys the life without homework anxiety. 【2】What does the underlined word “procrastinating” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Depending on. B.Turning to. C.Picking out. D.Putting off. 【3】Which of the following statements would the author agree with? A.One should avoid parties over school breaks. B.Studying properly over school breaks reduces stress. C.School breaks are for students to relax rather than study. D.Students should do much homework during school breaks. 【4】What's most probably the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To show the importance of homework. B.To explain why school breaks are useful. C.To tell us how we should spend school breaks. D.To give us some tips on how to study at home. |

Did your mother ever say you'll feel better after a good cry? It turns out Mom is right as usual — crying really is healthy. What's more, letting yourself feel blue and accepting those feelings will help you feel better in the long run, according to a new research. In three separate studies both online and in a lab, researchers at UC Berkeley evaluated the responses from 1,300 adults regarding their psychological (心理的) health and emotional well-being (幸福感). In one study, 1,000 participants filled out a survey evaluating how they felt about the statement, “I tell myself I shouldn't be feeling the way that I'm feeling”. Those who agreed with the statement scored lower on tests of well-being. In other words, letting yourself feel bad is better for your mind and mood than trying to control negative thoughts. “We found that people who habitually accept their negative emotions experience fewer negative emotions, which adds to better psychological health,” said study senior author Iris Mauss, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at UC Berkeley in an article on the university's website. In a society where the importance to be happy is emphasized daily on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms, letting yourself be down in the dumps can be tough. Just remember that true happiness isn't always what people say it is. “It turns out that how we approach our own negative emotional reactions is really important for our well-being,” said study lead author Brett Ford, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. “People who accept these emotions without judging or trying to change them are able to deal with their stress more successfully.” So next time someone tells you to “turn that frown upside down”, ignore them. Embrace your inner Eeyore for a while. 【1】How did the researchers carry out one of the studies? A.They gave the participants different tests. B.They compared their own thoughts with others. C.They studied the participants' everyday experiences. D.They compared the participants' thoughts and their feelings. 【2】What does the underlined part"be down in the dumps"in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Be lonely. B.Be depressed. C.Be positive. D.Be comfortable. 【3】What did Brett Ford try to show in Paragraph 5? A.It is better for people to accept negative emotions. B.We should never try to change others' thoughts. C.People who accept themselves are happier. D.Positive people tend to be less stressed. 【4】What would be the best title for the text? A.Turn your frown upside down. B.Listen to your mom to feel better C.Stop feeling bad about feeling bad. D.Stop feeling the way that you're feeling. |

Like many parents of a certain age, I grew up riding my bike freely, playing pickup sports and settling disputes (争论) with my friends on our own. 【1】 Even if they do have time, many aren't allowed to wander their neighbourhoods in search of playmates. So how do you promote free play? Here are a few key factors to consider. Start with the neighbours. Caring families can easily work together with the neighbours and create a shared space for kids to play freely. 【2】 Make it accessible. Avoid using fences, gates or other barriers because it's better to promote accessibility to the agreed-upon location. 【3】 It should be either in your yard or on the sidewalk or other area which is a 10-minute walk away. 【4】 Who wants to go out when no one else is around? Playing out front where everyone can see each other brings others outdoors. If you don't have a front yard, a driveway or a courtyard will do. Reduce formal activities. 【5】 Avoid scheduling every afternoon, and limit screen time so outdoor play fits in. Walk and bike with your kids when you can and greet your neighbours. A.Ensure it's visible. B.Kids need unscheduled time for free play. C.Both adults and children like free play very much. D.The play area works best if it's immediately available. E.It's as simple as knocking on doors and introducing yourself. F.Every kid should learn how to get along well with their neighbours. G.But now many kids have little opportunity for free play on their own. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语进行续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Bessie Curtis was spending a year in the countryside with her uncle and aunt. Early in the spring her uncle had given her a young turkey. “There, Bessie,” he said, “that is one of the prettiest turkeys I have ever seen. I will give him into your care, and on Thanksgiving Day we will have the turkey on the dinner table.” For some time Bessie fed the turkey every day without feeling particularly fond of him. Very soon, however, the turkey began to know her; he not only ran to meet her when she brought him his corn and meal, but he would follow her about just the way Mary's little dog did. Her uncle often called after her: “Everywhere Bessie goes, the turkey is sure to follow as a knight (骑士).” But she was so sad! She remembered her uncle's words when he gave her the turkey: “On Thanksgiving Day we will have the turkey on the table.” If Bessie had been like some little girls, she would have told her trouble to her uncle. But she never mentioned it to anyone, although she cried herself to sleep several nights before Thanksgiving Day. At last the day and the dinner time came! With a heavy heart, she seated herself at the table. Her uncle and aunt noticed her serious face, and thought that she missed her father and mother. “Come come,” said her uncle, “we must cheer up, no sad looks on Thanksgiving Day. Maria, BRING IN THE TURKEY.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100左右。 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The door opened and something was brought in on a big plate. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
