My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It’s funny now but it wasn’t at the time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop?that was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I went back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses and worn clothes, and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he’d started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble and really I was rather uneasy about him?I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t dare to start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I got it.
The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “This woman’s crazy!” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red?as red as his hair?when I realized I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.
【小题1】The woman telling the story ________.
A. always went shopping with her family on Fridays
B. had been very busy and needed some time to recover
C. wanted a newspaper and some chocolate to take home to her family
D. bought some chocolate so that she could keep a place at the table

A. too tired to start an argument
B. too shy to look in the boy’s direction
C. more and more disappointed at losing the chocolate
D. more and more angry with the boy
【小题3】The woman’s face turned red ________.
A. because she realized that she had been quite wrong about the boy
B. because she realized that the boy was poor and angry
C. because she saw everyone staring at her
D. because she hated being shouted at
【小题4】From the story we can see the woman ________.

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.
The next day, after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon?by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, "STOP, TAKE US BACK!" When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I'd suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.
【小题1】Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A. They made a careful preparation before the trip.
B. The children were more joyful than their parents.
C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.
【小题2】The underlined expression "Our legs were like jelly" probably means ______.
A. we were weak B. we were unhappy
C. we were dissatisfied D. we were disappointed
【小题3】Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?
A. It proved to be frightening. B. It was more comfortable.
C. It turned out to be exciting. D. It made each of them tired.
【小题4】We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way
B. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon
C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion
D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident

Why is it that many people who have suffered a major shock, such as divorce or death of a family member, seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illness? One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed, many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events.
Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and long-term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.
In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences (including loneliness, problems with family and friends, and health). When questioned immediately afterwards, they said that they did not feel any better. However, their blood samples(样本) taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these “invaders”. This trend continued over the following six weeks, when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about.
The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run.
【小题1】In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events ________.
A. started to suffer psychological problems
B. enjoyed sharing their inner thought and feelings
C. were less likely to seek treatment for sickness
D. couldn’t deal with suffering effectively
【小题2】People who wrote about personal problems in the second experiment ________.
A. had more bacteria and viruses in their blood
B. had decreased feelings of loneliness
C. showed an improved white cell reaction
D. did better in their writing tasks
【小题3】What does the underlined word "invaders" refer to?
A. The white cells.
B. Bacteria and viruses.
C. Resistance to illness.
D. The reaction and sensitivity of the cells.
【小题4】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Suffering and Health
B. Inner Thoughts and Feelings
C. Illness and Health
D. Mental Illness and Social Acceptance

There is no need to head to the movie theater or download the video game app: Angry Birds can be found right in your backyard this summer?if you live in the suburb(市郊). Virginia Tech researchers recently find that birds that live in suburban areas exhibit significantly higher levels of anger than those living in country. The results were recently published in Biology Letters.
“A possible reason for this is that these birds have less space but better resources to defend,” said Scott Davies, an expert at biological sciences in the College of Science. “Living near humans provides better food and shelter, but it also means more competition for these limited resources.”
The Virginia Tech and Radford University campuses served as the suburban sites due to their levels of human impact. Rural(乡村的) sites included Kentland Farm and Heritage Park. In these settings, the researchers played a recording of a male song sparrow(歌雀) and observed how the birds responded to a simulated(仿造的) intrusion from a neighbor.
Campus birds showed a higher level of aggression: they approached and remained near the speaker, beat their wings wildly, engaged in loud singing and then began to produce ‘soft song’?a term that researchers use to describe the quiet noise that a bird makes, which indicates an attack is to be launched soon.
Though rural birds still responded to a song intrusion, they did not respond as vigorously.
The researchers placed small leg bands on the birds to identify individuals, and recorded each individual’s responses twice, several weeks apart. The suburban birds reacted more fiercely on both occasions, showing that their increased aggression persists throughout a breeding season.
【小题1】The study by Virginia Tech researchers suggests that ________.
A. there are more angry birds in suburban areas than in rural areas
B. angry birds prefer to live in suburban areas instead of in country
C. birds living in suburban areas tend to show a higher level of anger
D. birds in rural areas prefer to live near humans for food and shelter
【小题2】The researchers measured the level of different birds’ aggression by ________.
A. recording the reactions of song sparrows to their neighbors’ intrusion
B. placing small leg bands on the birds to identify different individuals
C. observing the birds’ responses to a recording of male song sparrows
D. approaching the birds in order to listen to their soft and quiet songs
【小题3】The underlined word “vigorously” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. mildly B. violently

C. discuss and examine D. inform and explain
