Early this month, on the Egyptian-Israeli border not far from her hometown, a series of bombings killed 35 people and injured more than 160. Despite the attack, life quickly returned to normal. Living under the threat of attack is normal here.
Israel teenagers’ interests are not very different from others’. “Low-cut jeans(低腰牛仔裤)and miniskirts are very in,”said Hinanit, an 18-year-old teenager.
“You cannot let the fighting control what you do and don’t do. Of course I am scared sometimes, but I still go out and have fun. Yon always have to be careful, and things are probably more dangerous now, but I still love Israel. It is my home, and I would not leave it for anything!” Cohen said.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian boy named Bilal lies in a hospital bed, with his friends round, praying for his life. He has been in a coma(昏迷)since Israeli soldiers shot him on his way to school last month. In this recent military action, Israeli soldiers have killed at least 83 Palestinians, including 24 children.
Palestinian children lead a dangerous life under the watchful eyes of Israeli soldiers. Israel presents them as terrorists(恐怖分子)and faceless stone throwers. Many Palestinian children have been driven away from homes into crowded and hungry refugee camps with their families. “Even if we are surrounded by Israeli soldiers and have no food, we will stand and defend our country,” said Fatima Al-Aidi,a 13-year-old teenager, who lost a friend in Israel’s recent attack. “I hope to carry a lot of weapons and take my revenge(报复)one day. I hope the day comes when the enemy leaves Palestine.”
小题1:The underlined sentence “Despite the attack, life quickly returned to normal” means “     ”.
A.Life has returned to normal as a result of the attack
B.Life remains normal even if there was an attack
C.Life has returned to normal, although there was an attack
D.If there is not the attack, life will return to normal
小题2:Cohen’s words suggests that she        .
A.is living in horrorB.is peace-loving
C.wants to join the armyD.doesn’t let fighting change her life
小题3:How does Israel think of Palestinian children? They are______
A.lovelyB.smartC.friendlyD.dangerous
小题4:What can we learn from what Fatima Al-Aidi said?
A.He was in poor health.

试题【Early this month, on the Egyptian-Israeli border not far from her hometown, a se】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.
For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.
Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.
小题1: The second paragraph tells us that                .
A.people who have a high IQ always have a high EQ
B.EQ is the opposite of IQ
C.people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard life
D.people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ
小题2:What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled
children?
A.Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.
B.There was no change in the normal students.
C.The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.
D.The disabled students were more willing to help others.
小题3: Which of the following is the writer’s attitude toward EQ and IQ?
A.IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.
B.IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.
C.EQ can get people hired.
D.A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?
A.A person’s brainpower.B.IQ, EQ and success.
C.IQ and a person’s character.D.A person’s IQ and EQ.

Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!
However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
小题1:Which one of the followings is probably an example of Japanese directions?
A.“Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
B.“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you.”
C.“The post office is about five minutes from here”
D.“The post office is at Street Kamira.”
小题2: People in Los Angeles don’t give directions in miles because _________.
A.they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance
B.they prefer to lead you the way
C.they often have no idea of distance measured by miles
D.they prefer to use body language
小题3: Greeks give directions by __________.
A.using street namesB.using landmarks
C.leading people the wayD.giving people a wrong direction
小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.
B.People in Yucatan give wrong directions on purpose.
C.People in some places give directions using landmarks.
D.People in some places give directions in time.
小题5:What does the writer want to tell us?
A.It"s difficult to travel without a map.
B.It"s important to use body language when you are travelling.
C.In different countries, there are different styles of directions.

Warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him. Later, a Canadian scientist George Kell proved the English scholar was right. Dr.Kell filled an open jar(罐子)with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put them both in the same low temperature. And the warm water froze first.
What was the reason? Some of the warm water changed into vapour. It went into the air. This meant that less of the warm water was left to freeze. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water.
小题1: Sir Francis Bacon was__________________.
A.an American chemistB.an English scholar

小题2: Dr.Kell’s jars were both_____________________.
