阅读理解。     There are all sorts of good sensible reasons to avoid getting angry . Not only does it make us feel
bad , it also makes us do stupid things without noticing the risks and it can be self-destructive ( 毁坏
性的) . 1 But like all emotions ,anger has its purposes, which can be used for good effects .
Anger is a motivating force .
      In fact anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force.    2  .When we see
something as beneficial , we want it more when we are angry . So, when used right, constructive anger
can make us feel strong and powerful and help push us on to get what we want.
     3
     It may sound like a strange thing to say , but angry people have something in common with happy
people. That"s because both tend to expect favorable results. By comparison those experiencing more
fear are more pessimistic (悲观的) about the future and expect further terrors.
     Anger can benefit relationships.
     Society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it .The problem is that when we hide our
anger, our partner doesn"t know he"s done something wrong. And so he keeps doing it   4   The
expression of anger, if reasonable and aimed at finding a solution, can actually benefit and strengthen
relationships.
     Anger provides self-understanding.
     Anger can also provide understanding into ourselves, if we allow it. Getting angry leads to a positive
outcome. Anger help discover our own faults. If we can notice when we get angry and why, then we
can learn what to do to improve our lives    5
A. Anger reduces violence.
B. Anger can encourage self-change.
C. Angry people are more optimistic.
D. And that doesn"t do our relationship any good.
E. That"s because it"s a very strong social signal that a situation needs to be solved.
F. Most of us treat our anger as though it"s unreasonable, unshowable and unmentionable.
G. Anger can turn us on and thus push on towards our goals in the face of problems and barriers.

阅读理解。     An "apple polisher" is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a
bribe(贿赂),but is close to it.
     All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices ? just about
everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George
Fox and his party, but failed.
     There are other phrases meaning the same thing as "apple-polishing" ?? "soft-soaping" or "butter-up".
A gift is just one way to "soft-soap" somebody, or to "butter him up". Another that is just as effective is
flattery, giving someone high praise ?? telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how
talented and wise he is.
     Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the
thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so
little of it.
We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But we just
lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to
ourselves.
     Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good
example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got
tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣).They overpraised him to the
skies, as a man of limitless power.
     He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered
the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might
show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.1.Which of the following activities has nothing to do with "apple-polishing" ?A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks
B. An employee tells his boss how good he is at management
C. A knight(骑士)is said to be of limitless power by his followers
D. A teacher praised his students for their talent and wisdom.2.Which of the following statement about flattery is TRUE according to the author ?A. Too much flattery can carry us away
B. Flattery is too empty to do people any good
C. Flattery can get nothing but excessive(过度的)pride
D. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.3. King Canute of Denmark and England took his followers to the seashore because __________.A. he was sick of his normal
B. he disliked being overpraised any more
C. he wanted them to realize how wise he was
D. he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king4. The author thinks that flattery can do good to those who _________.A. are really excellent
B. lack confidence
C. are politicians or in high offices
D. think highly of themselves

阅读理解。     Many of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in history books are great
conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward
are often never mentioned at all.
     We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the
length of the year; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of
them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure
of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries
are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as
conquerors.
     It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages;
hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage(野人) is good,
but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them
how to do it most efficiently-this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done-is not being
civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able
to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater
number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only
has it won, but because it has won, it had been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it
means saying that might(权利) is right.1.The author thinks that the conquerors and generals and soldiers ________.A. only appear glorious in history books
B. are greater than any other people
C. are not as great as described in history books
D. do not really help civilization forward2. As it is indicated in the passage, the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier is put
   on the highest pillars in the great cities of the world mainly because ________.A. people respect them very much
B. they fought bravely to protect their cities
C. people think they fought too brutally(野蛮地)
D. they conquered many cities and countries3.What is the writer"s attitude towards the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries ?A. Positive.
B. Critical.
C. Ironic.
D. Respectful.4.The author says that civilized people________.A. should not have any quarrels to settle
B. should not fight when there are no quarrels to settle
C. should settle their quarrels without fighting
D. should settle their quarrels by killing the other side

阅读理解。     Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney, Jr. a professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, infected
six student volunteers with virus, the most common cause of colds. A few days later, when they were
coughing and sneezing, he gathered 37 more people and divided them into three groups. Group 1
members spent three days and nights in the same room with one of the infected students, separated
by a screen so they couldn"t touch one another. Group 2 sat around a table while an infected volunteer
talked, coughed and sang to them. Group 3 held hands with an infected student for ten seconds, and
then touched their own noses or eyes.
     Although most scientists at the time, the mid-70s, believed colds were spread by virus-laden
droplets spread through the air when infected people coughed or sneezed, Gwaltney suspected
physical contact might play an important role. Sure enough, of the 15 people who had touched a
student volunteer, 11 became infected-compared with only one of those who had been sitting at the
table, and none who had spent three days and nights together.
     "The best evidence we have is that hand-to-hand contact is the most efficient way of transmitting
virus," says Gwaltney. The study was one of a series that helped establish Gwaltney"s reputation as
a leading authority. Dr. Robert Couch says, "It would not be inappropriate to call him Mr. Common
Cold."
     When Gwaltney is asked how close scientists are to finding a cure, he replies: "If you mean "get
rid of", I don"t think we"re going to be able to do that with cold viruses any time soon. But if you
look in the dictionary, you"ll see that "cure" is explained as a successful treatment. And we"re not just
getting more effective at treating the symptoms (症状)-we"re getting at the root cause too. "1. Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney conducted the experiment in order to__________.A. find out the most common cause of colds
B. infect the student volunteer
C. find out the role physical contact plays in the common colds
D. find out the role virus-laden air plays in the infection of colds2. The result of the experiment shows that _________ plays an important role in the infection of colds.A. sneezing at the infected person
B. touching the infected person
C. sitting together with the infected person
D. talking with the infected person3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Dr. Gwaltney was sure that hand-to-hand touch is the cause of the common cold.
B. Only one of the people who had spent three days and nights together became infected.
C. Dr. Gwaltney conducted many an experiment as to the cause of colds.
D. Dr. Gwaltney tested altogether 43 volunteers to see how they could develop colds.4. Mr. Common Cold is______.A. a newly-found virus
B. a nickname (绰号) of respect to Dr. Gwaltney
C. a method to cure colds
D. a way by which the other scientists laughed at Dr. Gwaltney5. When Dr. Gwaltney gives a reply in the end of the passage, he means that______.A. they have found the fundamental cause of colds
B. they have managed to wipe out the cold viruses
C. they have meant to experiment more
D. they have made much progress in dealing with colds

     Every country has many good people who help to take care of others. Some high school and college
students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in a hospital, orphanage (孤儿院) or
home for the aged.
     They read books to the people who must be in these places or they just visit them and play games or
listen to their problems. Other young people volunteer to collect food or money, or they work in the
homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow
their lawns. There is a group of volunteers to meet almost every need. For boys who no longer have
fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to
baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to know about things that boys usually learn from their
fathers. Every city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go play games or to learn crafts.
Some of these clubs have movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or
other places of interest. Most of these clubs use many high school and college students as volunteers
because they still remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the
happiest people in the world are those ________________________.

阅读理解     If you are a human, you can"t help but experience the time when everything seems to be going wrong
and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during the low time that words of
encouragement from family, friends, coworkers or even strangers can boost your spirits.  It is also during
the low time that destructive words can be devastating (毁灭性的) and make you sink deeper and deeper into depression.
     For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when
two of them fell into a deep pit (深坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
     The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them
to stop. Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it.
     When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at
him to tell him to give up. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were
encouraging him the whole time.
     Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do
choose the chance to say something positive! Don"t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to
someone else.1. Why did the frog that succeeded in jumping to safety neglect the other frogs" comments?A. Because he would like to jump out of the pit.
B. Because he could hardly hear what the other frogs said.
C. Because he didn"t want to give up his hope.
D. Because he had a positive attitude toward life2. We can infer from the frog succeeding finally that ________.A. encouragement is not important in our lives
B. persistence is bound to victory
C. miracles sometimes happen by accident
D. success must belong to us if we keep on working3. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. There is no way to go when we go wrong.
B. Life depends on encouragement.
C. Destructive words will lead to death.
D. Words are playing an important role around us.4. The writer mainly wants to tell us ________ in the last paragraph.A. the power of words
B. positive words
C. negative words
D. the opportunities to say something.5. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to this passage?A. The frog that made it finally thought his friends were encouraging him.
B. The frog that died finally ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit at first.
C. The two unfortunate frogs would never get out because they are both deaf.
D. The author advised us to choose the chance to say something positive
