failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human
condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge
that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child"s hurriedly-made table
as "perfect"! Even though it couldn"t stand on uneven (not same in height) legs. Another way is to shift (转移) blame. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real
world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, that no one can win all the time and
that it"s possible to enjoy a game even when you don"t win. A child who"s not invited to a birthday party,
who doesn"t make the honor roll or the baseball team feel terrible, of course. But parents should not offer
a quick comfort prize or say "It doesn"t matter" because it does. The young should be allowed to
experience disappointment and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children exactly alike. But it can make a positive
contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask "Why did I fail?" Control the natura
l impulse (冲动) to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, and how you can improve.
If someone else can help, don"t be shy about asking them.
B. how to fail
C. the ways to prevent failures
D. the importance of facing failures
B. everyone makes mistakes
C. failures are not common in our lives
D. no one can grow up without failures
most parents try their best_________.
B. to teach their children about knowledge of failure
C. to provide their children with the knowledge against failure
D. to keep their children from realizing that they failed
B. children should be encouraged to get rid of disappointment by themselves
C. parents should judge what their children have done as it is
D. children should learn to enjoy a game that they won"t win
B. face it yourself and not ask others to help.
C. forget it as soon as possible.
D. think it over and find way to improve it.

has settled in with the first friends that came along despite the friends" questionable quality?
Making new friends can be quite nerve-racking for a teen, especially if he/she has low self-esteem and confidence levels. Finding friends with similar values can be even more challenging.
Parents play an important role in their children"s lives. You need to teach your kids on how to pick the "right friends".
1. Sign your teen up for 1 or 2 extracurricular activities. It can be a sports team, an art class, or a dance class. Pick something he/she would enjoy or ask your teen to pick the class he/she would like to
participate in. This way you give your teen power to choose what he/she wants to do. The point is your
teen cannot make friends if he/she has no place to meet new people.
2. Guide him or her on how to _____. For example: Teach your teen to carefully choose his or her
friends. Direct your teen to ask himself or herself what he/she is looking for in new friends. Get your teen to write down 5 qualities or characteristics he/she would like the new friends to have.
3. Encourage your teen to think about how he/she wants his or her friends to influence him or her. Ask him or her to think of 5 ways he/she would like to be influenced. Ask him or her how she would not like to be influenced.
Teens are a very special part of our society. They are our tomorrow! Today, it is up to us to inspire
them to be all that they can be!

cornea (角膜) transplant. Before the operation, Mr. Palmer was happy to leave the housework to his
wife. However, since he had a cornea transplant, he has become liking to do the dusting and washing up,
and developed the good habit he didn’t have before.
Mr. Palmer said, "Since having the transplant operation, my vision is almost 20/20. I can now notice
every spot of dust and dirt, and can"t help but have a go at cleaning it up. For some reason seeing the
grime(尘垢) gets on my nerves and I have to do something about it. It started as a joke that I must have
been given the cornea of a woman. There"s a reason why men don"t clean like this and I think it’s because we just don"t see the dirt, but I see it everywhere I go."
Mr. Palmer developed corneal disease Fuchs Dystrophy six years ago. The condition caused the inner surface of the cornea - the thin layer that covers and protects the iris (虹膜) and pupil (瞳孔) that is
responsible for two thirds of the eye"s vision - to slowly die. This meant that over time, the sight of Will"s
right eye had dropped so much that everything appeared unclear. It was also sensitive to light. Later, Mr.
Palmer got the cornea transplant.
Scientific studies have suggested that up to a third of organ transplant patients have inherited changes in their personalities, preferences and skills from their donors. Researchers have proposed various theories,
including the idea that memories are stored in organ tissue as well as the brain and can therefore be passed on to transplant patients.
B. a kind of cancer
C. an eye disease
D. the short-sight
B. Because he became obsessed with cleaning
C. Because he developed a habit of fast reading
D. Because he could see things more clearly
B. they are likely to live in the donors for ever
C. they are unchangeable once they came into being
D. they are stored well in organ tissue
B. Will Palmer can see nothing except the dirt around him.
C. Will Palmer develops all the same preferences as the donor.
D. Will Palmer used to do housework together with his wife.
B. give an example of transplant
C. introduce a new cure for eye disease
D. offer us some news on medicine
chimpanzees(黑猩猩). Experts say it is now time for dolphins to be treated as "non-human persons"
after research showed their brains have many features connected with high intelligence. Just like us: A
bottlenose dolphin shakes hands. They believe it is cruel to keep such intelligent animals in amusement
parks, or to kill them for food or by accident when fishing. Some 300,000 whales and dolphins die in
this way every year.
A study carried out by Lori Marino, a zoologist at Emory University in Atlanta, scanned (扫描) the
brains of dolphin species and compared them to the brains of humans, monkeys and chimpanzees. She
said, "Many dolphin brains are larger than our own and second in whole only to the human brain when
corrected for body size."
Dolphins have long been known for their intelligence. However it had been believed that chimpanzees - who can achieve the intelligence levels of three-year-old children - were the brighter of the two.
New studies suggest that in fact dolphins - especially species such as the bottlenose - are more
intelligent. They have particular personalities, a strong sense of the self and can think about the future.
They are also “cultural” animals, with new types of behavior being picked up by one dolphin from another. In one piece of research, bottlenose dolphins were shown to be able to recognize themselves in a mirror
and use it to observe various parts of their bodies.
Dolphins" famous intelligence has also made its way into fiction. In Douglas Adams"s story, the
Hitchhiker"s Guide to the Galaxy, dolphins escape from Earth after humans fail to understand their
warnings that the planet is about to be destroyed.
B. Because they can shake hands like humans.
C. Because they can amuse humans in parks.
D. Because they are more lovely than chimpanzees.
B. monkeys
C. chimpanzees
D. humans
a. think about the future
b. learn from each other
c. recognize themselves in mirrorsd. help humans protect the earth better
B. a, c, d
C. a, b, c
D. b, c, d
B. Whales are just as intelligent as dolphins.
C. Monkeys have larger brains than chimpanzees.
D. Dolphins will develop more human behaviors.
B. show their intelligence
C. prove humans" intelligence
D. express their warnings
Many international students choose large schools. But a growing number of them are attending smaller ones.
Douglas Bennett, the president of Earlham College in Indiana, has written several articles aimed at
helping students choose a college that best fits their needs. He says one of the important things for the
international students to consider is the size of a school. He says Earlham College is small for a reason.
"We"re that small because we think we educate much more effectively and much more powerfully because we stay small. It stretches everyone more. It draws everyone into more different kinds of activities."
Of course, there are also good arguments for attending a larger school. Many big schools are widely
recognized. And in some cases that might lead to more job interviews than a degree from a lesser known
college. Larger schools also have more money, which can mean more resources for education and
research.
In addition to size, Douglas Bennett says there are other important things to consider. For example:
Which programs at the school are the strongest? Some schools have stronger programs in the sciences.
Others are stronger in the liberal arts. Also, what do the school’s top students go on to do after they
graduate? What kinds of activities are offered that might add to the educational experience? Are there
sports teams? What about a radio station or newspaper?
But Douglas Bennett says . "The most important choice you make is who you choose to be
yourself. If you"re prepared to bring your best self to the college, then it matters where you go to college. On the other hand, if you choose not to prepare to work very hard, it doesn"t matter where you go."
2. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
A graduate from a larger school may get a job more easily than one from a school of smaller size.
3. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words. (within 6 words)
4. Which kind of school will you choose if you are an international student, a large one or a smaller one? Why? (within 20 words)
5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.
saying studies showed a clear link. "Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入,摄入),
through diet or a vitamin supplement," Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.
Garland"s research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the
relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. "There"s
nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer," he said, urging governments and public health officials to
do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is member of a team at San Diego Moores
Cancer Hospital that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health.
Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at
around 100 international units(IU)a serving. "People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to
raise their intake to 1000 units per day" Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines
established by the National Academy of Sciences.
The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern
areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.
"African Americans, who don"t produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin color, could also
benefit significantly from a higher intake," the authors said.
B. it can"t harm people"s health
C. it can lower cancer risk
D. it is not taken enough every day
B. a doctor
C. a medicine scientist
D. a public health official
B. Fortified orange juice.
C. Fortified yogurt.
D. All of the above.
B. African people
C. American people
D. Oceanian people
