If I had to choose what language to learn next, it’s a tough decision but it’d probably be German because many people that know several languages tell me that German is their favourite language in terms of expressing themselves. And I think it might have something to do with the vast amount of vocabulary the German language has. So I think it’d be really difficult but a fun challenge. Elena (Canada, teacher) I think I’d like to learn French next because it’s a very romantic (浪漫的) language and it could be very useful in different job situations. Besides, I think it could help me understand English a bit more as well, since it was previously the language of diplomacy (外交). Bryan (USA, writer) I’d love to learn Italian next. I visited Milan last year and I think it would be great to be able to speak to some of the locals. Also, it’s quite similar to Spanish, so I don’t think it would be too confusing. Georgina (England, Olympic swimmer) I’d really like to learn French. I actually learned it some years ago, but I haven’t used it in a long time and I’ve forgotten it but it’s a language that I really enjoy speaking, and I think France is a wonderful country. James (New Zealand, travel writer) 【小题1】Which is one of the reasons why Bryan wants to learn French? A. It is easy to learn. B. It is used frequently. C. It sounds more beautiful than English. D. It allows him to express himself more clearly. 【小题2】What can we infer from the text? A. Georgina will live in Milan. B. Georgina can speak Spanish. C. Georgina feels puzzled about her career. D. Georgina wants to make some Italian friends. 【小题3】Who is the most fearless learner? A. Elena. B. Bryan. C. Georgina. D. James. 【小题4】What do James and Bryan have in common? A. They both have learned French. B. They both think France is a nice country. C. They both think French can help them understand English. D. They are both writers. |

In the winters of 2012 and 2013, National Geographic grantee (被批准人) Anders Angerbjorn and his Ph. D. student, Rasmus Erlandsson, studied an extremely threatened species, the Scandinavian arctic fox. The current population numbers are fewer than 150 individuals in mainland Europe so many of the young foxes are having difficulty finding a non-related partner. Other threats to the species include competition from the red fox for the rare small rodents (啮齿目动物) they both depend upon for food. Angerbjorn and Erlandsson monitored the arctic fox population in Vasterbotten and Norrbotten, Sweden, to identify the best areas for further conservation actions. This included tagging (贴标签于) the baby foxes, which proved to be a challenge. “When catching arctic foxes it is easy to believe that the smaller ones are the easiest to handle. In some aspects it is true. Their teeth are smaller and the jaws less powerful. However, just as human children have a hard time keeping still, the really small cubs (幼兽) do too.” “We handle the foxes in a bag while tagging, and the trick is to keep the animal still between your legs while kneeling. And here comes the tricky part. How do you keep a small, wild fox still? You cannot apply too much force. You really do not want to hurt it. Just as with small children the best tool is patience, but at the same time you want the handling to be as short as possible.” “One particular cub had a technique I had never experienced before as it continuously tried to turn onto its back, for no obvious reason. I had to reach the ears, so I quickly turned the cub upright. The cub stayed still for a few seconds, and then began to roll onto its back again. The same thing happened over and over again! Finally, I got the tags in place, and after making measurements and taking some samples, I finally let it go.” 【小题1】According to the text, the red fox ________. A. looks like the arctic fox B. is an endangered species C. needs more conservation actions D. competes with the arctic fox for food 【小题2】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Providing food for the arctic fox. B. Checking the number of the arctic fox. C. Building conservation areas for the arctic fox. D. Helping the arctic fox find a non-related partner. 【小题3】Human children are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to explain that ________. A. kids love the arctic fox B. baby foxes can be dangerous C. it is difficult to tag baby foxes D. the smaller foxes are easier to handle 【小题4】To tag small cubs, Angerbjorn and Erlandsson had to be ________. A. brave B. patient C. creative D. strong |

A walker seriously injured in a mountain-top lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital. A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous (同时发生的) incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.” Mark Jones, of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service. The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers. The organisation’s delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We’d advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly? especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.” “If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch (蹲) in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back into the ground through the other.” 【小题1】What can we learn about the victims of the incident? A. Both of the injured men are recovering slowly, B. The bodies of the two men haven’t been found. C. The four men involved may be from the same country. D. The police cannot contact the two dead men’s relatives. 【小题2】Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2? A. Because the accident is very serious. B. To announce where the victims come from. C. Because the police are looking into the accident. D. To tell the readers some facts of the incident. 【小题3】What do the last two paragraphs tell us? A. Harm done by lightning. B. Warnings from a delivery officer. C. First aid in a lightning incident. D. Safety tips on a lightning strike. |

A new study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family claims that all that time you spend parenting just doesn’t matter. But it’s a claim that, despite the enthusiastic and widespread coverage by the media, does not hold water. The research suggests that child outcomes (including behavior problems, emotional problems, and academic performance) are barely connected with the time that parents spend with their children. The researchers examined the time diaries of 1, 600 children, looking at parenting time and outcomes when the kids were aged 3 to 11 in 1997, and again in 2002,when they were between 8 and 16. This research largely reflects the failure of the authors to correctly measure parental input (投入). It just looked at time diaries from two particular days?one a weekday and the other a weekend day. Trying to get a sense of the time you spend parenting from a single day’s diary is a bit like trying to measure your income from a single day. If yesterday was payday, you looked rich, but if it’s not, you would be reported as poor. You get a clearer picture only by looking at your income?or your parenting time?over a more meaningful period. What you did yesterday should not be taken as representative of what you did last year. This is why most high-quality studies of parenting time focus instead on how often parents read to their children, play with them or help them with homework over a period of a month or longer?long enough to represent their different approaches to parenting. As an exhausted parent who doesn’t get enough time to work out, and who hasn’t seen a movie for months, I understand why so many of us might seize on studies suggesting that we should take more time for ourselves. Perhaps we should. But I agree with Ariel Kalil, a developmental psychologist, on the suggestion “that when parents spend high-quality time with their children, their children are more likely to succeed.” 【小题1】What do the underlined words “hold water” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. To be valid. B. To be surprising. C. To be confusing. D. To be usual. 【小题2】What’s the purpose of conducting the study? A. To explore the link between parenting time and child outcomes. B. To explore the link between time diaries and child development. C. To explore the link between children’s habits and parents’ influence. D. To explore the link between daily activities and children’s problems, 【小题3】How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed? A. By giving descriptions. B. By analyzing the cause. C. By making a comparison. D. By offering research findings. 【小题4】The author may agree that high-quality-studies of parenting time should ________. A. be completed in one month B. adopt some different approaches C. concentrate mainly on learning time D. be based on data of a longer time period |

How to Keep Your Self-confidence We all have ups and downs, and waves that we ride in life. However, when things are going wrong, it’s difficult to keep your self-confidence. 【小题1】 Put yourself in positive situations. Mind power can do a lot to maintain confidence. 【小题2】 What makes it easier is that when you put yourself in positive situations, you’ll develop more happiness in your life. So, do things that make you feel good and do things that make you laugh and enjoy life more. 【小题3】 Work can be really good for your confidence, but too much can cause stress, which will hurt your confidence. So, you should have an equal amount of work and joy into your life to avoid stress effectively and preserve your mental confidence. Take mental breaks. 【小题4】 Taking mental breaks will breathe new and fresh air into your life. That provides confidence in yourself. These breaks can be very simple things, such as reading a book or listening to music. 【小题5】 I know this is hard; no one likes to hear negative feedback (反馈) about themselves. But what one says about you doesn’t make up who you are. What makes up who you are is how you carry yourself in life. You have got to set a high level of self-integrity and set the bar of what is good enough for you. A. Don’t overlook your mental confidence. B. The following tips tell you how to manage it. C. Learn to adjust to criticism and hateful remarks. D. Don’t put too much stress and work into your life. E. When you feel pleased, you think less about your problems. F. When things go wrong, you need to rely on that power to keep your confidence. G. This requires not really just removing yourself from stress, but taking breaks in general. |

On my opinion we should learn to control ourselves. We should finish our homeworks first every day, and then spend a little time play video games. As students, the most important thing is to study hardly. We should try our best get good grades and become the useful person in the future. |
