and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down.
"I wish I could take one of my children out alone," said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I"ll watch her other three. And
when she watches two of mine, I"ll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me" time. Christie"s daughter,
McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie
was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. "She"s like a different child when there"s no one
else around," Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn"t have to make
an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my
children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close
to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃的) son, Tom, doesn"t stutter once during our activities
since he doesn"t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who"s always a follower
when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child-talking, sharing, and
laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in
a while.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
B. curious
C. regretful
D. friendly
B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers.
D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
B. it"s tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents" full attention
D. parents should watch others" children

When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how 10 or how uncomfortable something
is, we will always choose to 11 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is
making a 12 for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person

| An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was vital enough, his lack of response could ensure the sender rang him up. If the sender wasn"t important enough to have his private number, the communication couldn"t be that important. My friend is now even more senior in the same company, so the strategy must work. Almost every week now, there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it"s only because we haven"t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it. ______. Firstly, you junk anything with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters, or from any address you don"t recognize or feel confident about. Secondly, e-mails don"t all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there"s a tendency for correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless discussion or to accept a point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it. Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn"t have to be the same length as the original. We all have e-mail pals who send long, chatty e-mails, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. The charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail with a brief reply. | |||
| 1. Which sentence in the passage it the closed in meaning to the following one? The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails. | |||
| ______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||
| 2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence. (within 10 words) | |||
| ______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||
| 3. What advice is given in the last paragraph? (within 10 words) | |||
| ______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||
| 4. For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph 1? (within 10 words) | |||
| ______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||

| Most people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer (作曲家) begins, how he manages to keep going-in fact, how and when he learns his trade-all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery (神秘). One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration (灵感) plays in a composer"s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for. The composer, therefore, does not say to himself:"Do I feel inspired?" He says to himself:"Do I feel like working today?" And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself:"Do I feel sleepy?" If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don"t feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn"t feel like working, he doesn"t work. It"s as simple as that. | |||
| 1. What would be the best title for the text? | |||
| A. Composer: a man of mystery B. Practice makes good music C. Relation between sleeping and music D. Music: product of nature | |||
| 2. The words "covered in complete darkness" underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean _____. | |||
| A. difficult to be made B. without any light C. black in color D. not known | |||
| 3. Most people seem to think that a composer _____. | |||
| A. finds it difficult to write music B. considers it important to have a good rest C. should like to talk about inspiration D. never asks himself very simple questions | |||
| 4. The author will most probably agree that composers _____. | |||
| A. are born with a gift for music B. are people full of mystery C. work late at night for their music D. know a lot about eating and sleeping | |||

| I believe that my country, Poland, is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents-to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. It"s not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept--that"s why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away-even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore! Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. It"s widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together--extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得)! You can share other members" troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time! In Poland, a wedding, Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house get together and cook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about. You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What"s more, almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am. | |||
| 1. When the writer was a child, he / she ______. | |||
| A. found people were crazy about bread B. began to realize the importance of food C. thought that cutting bread was amazing D. learned people hardly baked their own bread | |||
| 2. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because ______. | |||
| A. he/she makes food from scratch B. his/her parents would blame him/her C. some customs still have effect on him/her D. many people are still working hard as farmers | |||
| 3. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, ______. | |||
| A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long time B. the whole family often have meals together nowadays C. it"s common for women to get together to cook for a few days D. family members can know more about each other by having meals together | |||

| It"s great fun to explore (探索) new places-it feels like an adventure, even when you know you"re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles. ● Do the map reading if you"re being driven somewhere. It"ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you" re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you"ll have to move to the back seat. ● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You"ll need a good map, a compass (指南针), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金). Tell someone where you"re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up. ● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it"s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit. | |||
| 1. Sitting beside the driver, you should ______. | |||
| A. direct the driver when necessary B. look ahead to see where there"s a turn C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable D. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to | |||
| 2. Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out? | |||
| A. To get information when in danger. B. To be saved in case of an accident. C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration. D. To tell him/her what"s going on with the group members. | |||
| 3. Orienteering activities can ______. | |||
| A. make people work fast B. help people stay healthy C. help people organize other activities D. make people get prepared for sports |
