阅读理解     In a cold winter, a couple had to move out from the luxury villa because of bankruptcy. The husband
worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, "he doesn"t love
me anymore, he just cares his business—not me".
     One day, she began to take a bath, he stopped her at the door, "Let me take it first, OK?" "Why not
let me shower first," she asked. "I was tired, sweetie, you take it later, OK?" She was totally depressed.
     On a morose day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer, a few words blurred her eyes
—it was his diary:
     Today, I was quite sad, she asked me why I was always taking the bath first, and I said to her, I was
exhausted. She was unhappy, in her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but how can I do? I wasn"t
as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, there was only a shower in such a freezing winter.
But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a litter warm, so every time I
rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer,
at least1℃,2℃or 3℃
     Now I can"t give her comfortable life, bring her the luxury restaurant, buy expensive dresses for her,
but at least, I can give her 1℃love.1. Why was the husband always taking the bath first? A. Because he was tired from work.
B. Because he didn"t love her anymore.

B. moving
C. diseases
D. failure3. The best title of the passage may be ______.A. A trouble
B. 1℃love
C. Husband and wife
D. A romantic love story

举一反三
     One kind of female butterfly mates only once in its life —and then closes its wings to avoid
"harassment" when pursued by persistent and unwanted males, a Japanese researcher said.
     Observations of the Small Copper Butterfly, a colourful orange and black butterfly, showed that some
females closed their wings when males flew by, but only when they were males of their own species, said
Jun-Ya Ide, an associate professor at Kurume Institute of Technology in Fukuoka, western Japan.
     "When we looked into why, the males were courting the females. They do this very stubbornly, so the
females sometimes try to get away-or prefer to stay unobserved," he added.
     Ide and his colleagues brought a model of a male butterfly near the females to test their reactions and
found that young females that had yet to mate kept their wings open, but those that had already mated
closed them.
     Not only can the persistent attentions of unwanted suitors harm the delicate females, fleeing from them
—with the male often in pursuit —uses up strength and can even shorten their lives, he added.
     "Closing their wings makes them less visible, helping them avoid communication with their own species. We figured they were trying to avoid harassment by males," Ide said.1. What does the word "harassment" mean in the paragraph?A. sexual invasion  
B. embarassment  
C. attack  
D. threat 2. Why some some females closed their wings when males flew by?A. because the female butterfly mates only once in its life.
B. because they close their wings to avoid "harassment" when pursued by persistent and unwanted
males.
C. because they don’t like the male butterfly at all.
D. because they are afraid of the male butterfly.3. According the the passage, which is correct?A. The females closed their wings when males flew by.
B. The female butterfly mates only once in its life.
C. Only the model of a male butterfly can make the young female butterflies to keep their wings open.
D. Not only can the persistent attentions of wanted suitors harm the delicate females, fleeing from them
—with the male often in pursuit -- uses up strength and can even shorten their lives.

 footballer into a global attractor.Even now that he has left Manchester United for Real 
Madrid,instead of Barcelona or Milan,it might be because of her.
     "Posh Spice" has become a name for Victoria.The Collins Dictionary even has the

      Before  meeting Victoria Adams,Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer
 with a bright future at Manchester United,but that was about all.
     Since he married her in 1999,he has become the most famous player British sport has 
ever produced,and,some say,the most influential man in the country."When they got 
together,she was clearly the more popular of the two," said Andrew Parker,a sports expert

It"s believed that,behind the high walls and iron gates of their "Beckham Palace",it is 
Victoria who decides everything.
     When their baby boy,Brooklyn,fell in 2000.Beckham left a United training session to 
look after him,and this led to his being dropped from the team.Many were sure it was 
Victoria who had asked her husband to stay at home.During a trip to the United States 
this year,Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public.They would not 
have recognized him if they met him in a car park.
     She may appear to have taken a back seat,but Victoria is still at the forefront of the
 "Posh and Beck" project. 1.From the passage,we can conclude that at home ______. A.Beckham listens to his wife

阅读理解。

     Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he
was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas
would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or
risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no
health insurance.
     After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He
left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic
Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their
loved ones-a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
      Jason Swencki"s son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the
online children"s forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids
from all over," says Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through,
so he doesn"t feel alone."
     Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United
States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
     These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines
and supplies to people-225 to date-who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fightit.org has
raised about $ 23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic
Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
     Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause,
while still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting
money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members. "But Christopher
is the only person I know saying people need help now."


1.Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?A.He needs to go to the doctor every day.
B.He studies the leading cause of diabetes.
C.He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D.He encourages diabetics by writing articles.2.Diabeticrockstar.com was created for ________.A.diabetics to communicate
B.volunteers to find jobs
C.children to amuse themselves
D.rock stars to share resources3.According to the text, Kody ________.A.feels lonely because of his illness
B.benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
C.helps create the online kid"s forums
D.writes children"s stories online4.What can we learn about Fight It?A.It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
B.It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
C.It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
D.It owns a wellknown medical website.5.The last paragraph suggests that Thomas ________.A.works fulltime in a diabetes charity
B.employs 22 people for his website
C.helps diabetics in his own way
D.tries to find a cure for diabetes
