A
Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “ Mum, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mum never looked up from sewing. “ You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “ And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mum about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, mum looked carefully at the bars.
“ Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached.
I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs; I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mum came into my room. “ Mum,” I said, weeping, “ None of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. 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. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sport. 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. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. 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 for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.
One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.
They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’ s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.
The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.
The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.
12.According to the first study, we mainly infer that .
A.the game is called Prisoner’s Dilemma
B.the less a group punished itself, the lower its earnings
C.adults are much more cooperative if rewarded
D.the game is introduced in the journal Science
13.Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study?
A.Children's IQs have much to do with physical punishment.
B.The study is about violence and cooperation of children.
C.The children tested were divided into groups of four.
D.Children's mental development only relies on their IQs.
14.What does the underlined word "spanked" refer to?
A. Punished. B. Blamed. C. Tested. D. Praised.
15.What might be the best title for the text?
A. The Best Way to Correct Misbehavior
B. Punishment Is the Best Way of Education
C. Cooperation Is the Most Successful Behavior
D. Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?

Do you know what a big dream is? 16 Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 17 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
18
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friend destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 19 In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 20
A. Family and Friends
B. How Big Dreams Die
C. Does a big dream show one’s future ?
D. They simply fail until they succeed.
E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong
F. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

书面表达：
Dear William，
Recently, I have heard that you feel stressed about study. Here is some advice on how to study effectively.
First of all, learn in a relaxing way. This will remove our pressure, making study an easy job. Another way to keep up our spirits is to take part in sports. Not only does exercise build up the body, but also it provides us time to relax and fresh our mind, making us memorize things faster and longer. Music, too, is another effective means of refreshing and helping us concentrate better.
Last but not least, we should exchange ideas with our classmates. Through the communication we can find support, which will encourage us to overcome difficulties in our study.
I hope these can benefit you.
Best wishes!

Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau stands with his wife, Sophie Grego ire, as he gives his victory speech after Canada's federal election in Montreal, Quebec, Oct. 19, 2015.
“Tonight I'd like to toast(为……干杯) the future prime minister of Canada: to Justin Pierre Trudeau."
American President Richard Nixon had that to say in 1972 at a state dinner to Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau about his newborn son, Justin. Forty-three years later, Justin Pierre Trudeau has become the second-youngest prime minister in Canada. His Liberal Party(自由党) won a majority in Monday's national election over the Conservative Party(保守党).
Justin Pierre Trudeau came from Canada's political royalty. He is the son of Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Sinclair Trudeau. His father, Pierre Trudeau, served two terms as Prime Minister between 1968 and 1984. His mother, Margaret Sinclair Trudeau, came from a well-known family of politicians. She married the 51-year-old prime minister when she was 22. Margaret Trudeau was known for her partying at New York nightclubs with stars like the Rolling Stones. The couple inspired "Trudeaumania" and was frequently compared to the American Kennedys, another political royal family.
Young Trudeau graduated from McGill University in 1994. He spent his early years as a schoolteacher in Vancouver. He is married to Sophie Grégoire, a former broadcaster. They married in 2007. They have three children.
Justin Pierre Trudeau is promising "real change" in domestic and foreign policy. He told supporters earlier Tuesday that a positive campaign led to the victory.
"This is what positive politics can do," Trudeau said. "Canadians from across this great country sent a clear message tonight."
Mr. Trudeau promises to invest(投资) in rebuilding roads and bridges. He also plans to raise taxes on wealthy Canadians.
Like his father before him, the young Trudeau has already received international attention on his election as prime minister. Major American newspapers like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal published his victory on the front pages. News websites from Le Monde of Paris to the Times of London headlined the return of "Trudeaumania" in their coverage.
21. How old is the new Canadian prime minister?
A. 51 B. 47 C. 43 D. The text doesn’t tell us.
22. Which of the following statement is WRONG?
A. Ther e is more than one American president coming from Kennedy family.
B. Justin Pierre Trudeau will continue the political view "Trudeaumania"
C. Justin’s positive campaign won many voters(选民).
D. Justin Pierre Trudeau has attracted wide attention of the Press.
23. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Liberal Party has been the leading party in Canada.
B. Justin Pierre Trudeau won a victory in Canada's election
C. A great political royal family in Canada.
D. A new political star and his happy family.

Hypothermia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body starts to shake -- not very much, but uncontrollably.
The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of the cold and, if necessary, changing into dry clothes. Drinking w arm, non-alcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering.
Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up. These are all common-sense treatments.
But treatment needs to change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia. In that situation, their body temperature drops below thirty-five degrees Celsius. They lose the ability to think clearly. Their muscles become stiff. They might bump into things or fall over objects.
Members of search-and-rescue teams will first try to prevent additional heat loss. They will place extra covering around the chest, head and neck of hypothermia victims to keep them warm.
Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible. Working qu ickly to get people out of the cold is important. However, hypothermia victims must be moved slowly and gently.
Any rough or sudden movement can force cold blood from the arms, legs and hands deep into the warmer middle of the body. This sudden flow of cold blood can create shock, a serious condition. It can also cause an abnormal heartbeat. Members of search-and-rescue teams have a saying that hypothermia victims are not dead until they are warm and dead. The process of "rewarming" a person needs to be done slowly, in a hospital setting.
An extremely low body temperature can cause the heart to beat so slowly that a pulse may be difficult to find. In other words, a person who is suffering from the effects of severe cold may seem dead, but still be alive.
27. According to the text, when a person experience mild hypothermia, _____.
A. He feels cold so he shakes deliberately.

This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers are usually unknown of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy(笨拙的)._31__ They trouble us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __32__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slide into daydreams.__33_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably(最好) something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
__34__ “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. It involves(需要) slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____35____ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
B. Having interesting things to think about also helps.
C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have Coke relatively.
D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.
F. It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.
G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.

All that seemed __49__ and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to __50__ to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to __51__ others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional __52__ to help clean cars. Passers-by were __53__ and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming __54__!

W: I find it harder to say “no” than “yes”.
M: Me, too. I think most people do. When we are at home relaxing and our friends ask us for help, we usually agree, even if we don’t want to.
W: I know. Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. People tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, but they are often angry with themselves afterwards.
M: That’s true. Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, as people are afraid of losing the friendship of the person asking for help.
W: But, in fact, rejecting a request can sometimes help a relationship last longer.

I always wanted to be good at something. I was only a B student. I didn’t have any girlfriends and I didn’t have a job. But the summer after I graduated from high school, I decided that I would try my hardest and learn how to play basketball. I woke up every day at 5:00 a.m. to run and do other exercises. Then, I went to the local gym where many people played basketball every day. I played with those guys from 9:00 a.m. until noon every day for two months. I got better really quickly since I put all my effort into my training. I even asked the other guys to help me. Sonny was a tall guy who taught me how to shoot, and Skip Higgins was a short guy who taught me how to handle the ball well. I’m not going to make the college team this year or anything crazy like that, but I do think all the hard effort paid off. Now, I’m a great basketball player and my body is in top shape, too.

Not a day goes by when we don’t use the World
Wide Web. Today it has become almost as important
to every family as food and water! This year, the
World Wide Web has turned 25 years old. What
many people don’t know is that the web was at first
created to improve communication between
thousands of scientists in Switzerland.
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-old
British physicist working as a software engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. Since CERN was a huge organization with thousands of scientists, communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.
Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem. His paper suggested an information system, where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer (connected through the Internet), allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly. However, Berners-Lee’s boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.
Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters, Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web. He came up with ideas such as Hyper-text Transfer Protocol (超文本传输协议) to allow computers to talk to each other, Hyper -text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages, a server to serve the pages, and a browser (浏览器) to see them.
In December 1990, the World Wide Web was demonstrated (展示) and in 1991, the WWW project was made public, so that other programmers could develop their own browsers. Berners-Lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes. He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use — a free open software. His wishes soon came true.
Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first, it has become necessary and important to our lives, powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.
24. The World Wide Web was created to _____.
A. help people get information easily and quickly
B. support the development of mobile technologies
C improve communication between scientists at CERN.
D. make it easier for British scientists to communicate
25. As for Berners-Lee’s paper, his boss _____.
A. felt puzzled about it
B. showed no interest in it
C. was certain about it
D. had no confidence in it
26. According to the text, Berners-Lee _____.
A. doesn’t give up easily when in trouble
B. is a 55-year-old Swiss physicist
C. has worked at CERN for 25 years
D. knows little about the Internet
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The popularity of the web.
B. Interview with Tim Berners-Lee.
C. Tips on improving the website.
D. World Wide Web turns 25!
C
Color is considered one of the most useful and powerful design tools you have .People respond to different colors in different ways. Colors tell someone if you are friendly. In the same way they affect whether someone will continue clicking through your website. Colors determine if someone will start reading your article in a magazine or post on your website. Colors also help to keep people involved on your website and determine how long they stay. Of course that’s not just about the content. Colors also influence how people will respond and behave.
The next time you go into a fast-food restaurant, look closely at the colors. Do they decorate with vivid reds and oranges because they encourage diners to eat and leave quickly like many of the fast-food establishments(企业)?That is exactly the response they want.
Different cultures have different attitudes and preferences;thus ,they will have another color reaction. In China, “white ” stands for death and in Brazil, it is the color purple while in America it is black. People from warm countries respond favorably to warm colors;people from colder climates prefer cooler colors. In America , green is associated with jealousy or money. Blue (most popular ) is associated with trust ,responsibility, belonging and coolness.
This also means that color affects shopping habits. Different colors attract different kinds of customers .Red, orange, black and royal blue attract impulse(冲动的) buyers. Pink , light blue and navy attract smart budget shoppers. There is really a lot into it. To experience this, why not click on the following large companies’ websites that have spent the funds on this type of research now?
28. This passage mainly tells us _____
A. what colors mean to people in different countries.
B. colors affect people in many different countries.
C. which king of color does good to people’s health.
D. a good website should have as many kinds of colors as possible.
29. According to thi s passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Reds and oranges in a restaurant will make you stay there longer.
B. In Brazil ,the color purple is associated with death.
C. People from warm countries will like cooler colors better.
D. People 's shopping habits will not be affected by colors
30. What would the author probably talk about in the next paragraph?
A. To offer some large companies’ websites.
B. To introduce what colors mean in different countries.
C. To tell us how to use colors in our daily life.
D. To give more examples about successful restaurants.
D
Have you ever heard the phrase “we just can’t communicate”? Most people associate communication with the ability to read or write well. This might not be the case as you will soon find out.
How many times have you been to the doctor’s office and listen to an educated professional explain something to you that is just meaningless. These people keep asking you , “Do you understand ?”and sometimes out of embarrassment because you don’t want to look like stupid, you tell them, “Yes, I do understand. ”This isn’t a good way to communicate either.
How do we communicate in a positive way to get our points across(使…被理解)? Ask the person you are communicating with if they understand what you just said, if someone is talking to you, then use the statement ,“Just to make Sure That I Understand What You Just Said”and then repeat back your understanding of their conversation. Sometimes just asking a few simple questions and clarifying your understanding can bring great benefits to any communication.
In some countries like Japan for instance , you might find them reading your body language more than the words you are communicating with. Sometimes just by the way someone stands or reacts to something you said, you can get a valuable insight to what the other person means in this conversation. Don’t forget however this could lead to a misunderstanding also. Again if you think someone is communicating with their body language , try not to assume (假设)that you know for a fact what message they are trying to get across. Always ask them if they understand what you are talking about.
A person is responsible for what he says and to make sure that the other person completely understands the point he is trying to get across. Why not start using some of the simple skills used in this article to help with your communication skill, you will start to see the benefits within a short period of time.

Create an affirmation you love, such as, “ ‘I am strong; I am in control; everything has a purpose.’ ”

Exercise

第二节作文
Dear teachers，
I’m writing to persuade you to let us use the smartphone in our daily life. We know you’re afraid that we may be addicted to phone games, which will affect our study. Actually, every coin has its two sides. We still think that using the smartphone can bring us much more advantages.
First of all, I think it would be better if we can use the smartphone because not only can we go through a wide range of learning resources on the Internet but also we can download the WeCourses provided by our school. Furthermore, we can broaden our horizons by reading various news online. Last but not least, as high school students, we are building up our sense of judgment. Given chances, we are sure that we will learn how to use the smat phone effectively.
I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final decision. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Ming
