AGretchen Alexander is sightless .But she refuses to allow her blindness to limit her life activities .She enjoys archery,golf, softball,sailing and water skiing ,as well as a number of other activities that those of us who are sighted have yet to learn. She also speaks to groups about living life fully. When speaking to a group of high school students , she was ince asked if there was anything she wouldn ’t try. “I have decided never to try skydiving ,” she answered. “It would scare me to death.”Why do some people rise above their problems and live life fully, while other become defeated? Merle Shain explains it this way : “There are only two to approach life : as a victim or as a gallant fighter. And you decide whether you want to act or react.”When discouraged, a victim reacts, perhaps in pain or self-pity .But a fighter will act. A fighter will make a decision to change that set of circumstances that leave him or her discouraged . Or a fighter will decide to accept those circumstances with grace and move ahead anyway . A fighter will decide to act with courage . A fighter will take responsibility for his or herhappiness. No matter how afraid, a fighter will refuse to give in to the most defeating of all human emotions-helplessness. A victim reacts. A fighter acts. It’s your decision. It’s a decision about whether you will live your life fully and with courage, or whether you important decisions you ever make. Will you be a victim or a gallant fighter? 1.. The best title for this article would be _______.A. Gretchen Alexander’s LifeB. Victims and Fighters B. Merle Shain’s Attitude to Life D. The Way of Life 2.. What can we learn about Gretchen Alexander from this passage? A. She is more athletic than those of us who are sighted. B. She is discouraged when her dog is scared.C. She is a brave fighter during the full and active life .D.

A. the reactions of helplessness. B. decision-making. C. a fighters responsibility.D. the difference between a victim and a fighter.BJUST as the smell of good food appeals to us, the fragrant (香的) smell of flowers, as well as their color and shape, attracts honeybees to collect nectar and thus carry out the cross pollination (授粉) needed for plants to reproduceBut for plants, nectar production is costly – it requires vital energy and nutrients (营养物), so some plants try to cheat honeybees out of their food reward by using the same attractive smells falsely to advertise poor quality nectar, or even none at all.Is it possible that honeybees are fooled by these cheats ？No,bees quickly distinguish which flowers produce best nectar by their smells ,even when the smells are extremely similar,a recent study by the scientists at Newcastle university in the UK, has sown.Led by biologist Wright ,the scientists exposed worker bees to two different odors based on natural floral compounds . One odor led to a food reward having more sugar and the other food reward contained more salt. They found that the bees were able to tell apart the two odors based on their associated rewards.Wright explained that honeybees like sugary nectar and dislike salty nectar .How delicious or awful-tasting the food nectar is to them determines how strong the bees ’ preference is to the scent signals.He said that bees can learn about the signals related to nectar quality ,and they have the ways to avoid floral “cheaters.When the floral scent isn ’t correct,even if the visual aspect of the flower is exactly the same,a bee will not visit it. The study suggests that a bee ’s ability to learn which smells produce the best nectar may装----------------------订-----------------------线--------------------------------------------C.How flowers attract honeybees using their nectar .D.The reasons and the ways flowers attract honeybees.

AOnce upon a time, there was a little boy who wanted to meet t he king. He set off, walking towards the king’s castle. After ma ny years of walking, the king’s castle came into his view. How ever, as the boy drew closer to the outside of the castle, the g uards took notice of him.“Get out of here!” commanded the guards.Well, the little boy didn’t have to be told twice. He turned…an d ran right away. All he wanted to do was to tell the king wond erful things, and see all the beautiful things in the king’s hous e. But he couldn’t even get near the castle! The boy finally sto pped running, sat down and cried.A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment. He saw thelittle boy and came up. “What’s wrong, young man?” he aske d.“Sir, I walked and walked just to see the king. Butthese guards made me frightened. I wanted to tell the king h ow lovely everything is and just tell the king that I just wanted to see him!”The man looked at the little boy thoughtfully. “Look, why don’t you try again. Don’t lose heart. I’ll come with you this time.”The little boy got up and took the man’s hand. The king’s guar ds spotted them.“Look, mister, we don’t have to do this…I don’t want you to ge t hurt. We can just turn around now.”The man held the little boy’s hand and went on. The boy reall y thought the man might be crazy until he looked back up at t he guards. They were all smiling now. The little boy was surpr ised.“Who are you?” asked the little boy in surprise.“Why,I’m the king’s son. You can enter the castle and be with the king.” said the man.The little boy broke into a huge smile.1. Why did the boy want to see the king?A. To get some help from the king.B. To invite the king to visit his beautiful village.C. To share wonderful things with the king.D. To ask the king to play with him.2. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean?A. The little boy didn’t understand the guards’ words at first.B. The guards repeated the words to the boy.C. The little boy understood the guards’ words right away.D. The little boy had been to the castle twice.3. According to the passage, the young man is .A. warm-hearted B. determined C. stubbornD. mean4. Which of the following best suits the story’s lesson for us?A. Anything is possible if one tried hard enough.B. Never judge a book by its cover.C. Life can sometimes be unfair.D. Make new friends and keep the old.BTo people’s surprise, baby girls make their way directly for dol ls as soon as they can crawl(爬行), while boys will head for cars, a study has shown. The find ings, the first to show differences in very young babies, sugge st there is a biological basis to their preferences. Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London ca rried out an experiment including 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven to ys. Some were typically boys' toys ---- a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls' t oys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys; and could pick whichever toy the y liked; their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.Of the youngest children （9 to 14 months）, girls spent clear ly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the t wo and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll wh ile only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls only tou ched. There was no connection between the parents’ view onwhich toys were more suitable for boys or girls, and the childr en's choice.Dr Brenda Todd said, “Children of this age are already expos ed(暴露) to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree wit h the former idea that children show natural interests in partic ular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their c hoices. Boys through evolution( 进化, 发展) have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably thr ough hunting instincts(本能), while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color ofa newborn baby.”5. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because .A. baby boys are much more activeB. baby girls like bri ght colors moreC. their parents treat them differentlyD. there is a natur al difference between them6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?A. Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.C. Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toy s.D. The older the babies are, the more noticeable their prefere nce is.7. What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?A. Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.B. Adults purposely influence their babies’ preference.C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting .D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.8.
