Unfortunately, plenty of creepy-crawly critters(爬虫生物)like to do the same thing!Winter is the time when bugs(虫子)invade your house without an invitation. The season can be tough for such creatures. In winter the air is cold, the ground is hard and many trees have no leaves. So bugs do what they have to do to survive.Monarch butterflies head south to warmer climates. Ants crowd in deep underground colonies and eat food they have been storing all year. Many insects go into a deep sleep called diapause. There’re different kinds of diapauses, but all are similar to hibernation, a time when bigger animals become inactive in the cold. Insects go into an inactive period, too, but it often isn’t when the temperature drops.They rely on more dependable signals in the environment. For example, many insects can tell how much sunlight there is each day. They use that to tell themselves when to shut down. Bugs are cold-blooded, meaning that their inside temperature is the same as the outside. They can’t move much when it gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. So they search for any warm place.They’re looking for protection. These guys have been doing this for 300 million years, so they don’t really know they’re coming into your house. The home is a recent event in terms of their evolutionary behavior. They enter through tiny cracks or come in unnoticed on your clothes or shoes. Remember that they may be invading your homes for warmth and food, but they don’t care about humans.1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To point out that humans like to stay at home in winter.B. To mean that humans and bugs have the same living habits.C. To mean that bugs will invade humans’ houses for their winter.D. To put forward the idea that bugs are not welcome in winter.2. According to the text, what is diapause?A. It is the same as the animals’ hibernation.B. It often appears in warm areas all the year.C. It is done to keep bugs active in winter.D. It is a deep sleep similar to hibernation.3. What often decides bug(s)’diapauses?A. The lower local temperature.B. The amount of sunlight.C. Kinds of environmental signals.D. The insects’ inside temperature.4. According to the text, bugs invade humans’ homes to .A. attack humansB. look for enough foodC. seek for protectionD. show their evolutionary results5. What would be the best title for the text?A. Bugs’ Life on Cold Wintry DaysB. Why Do Bugs Invade Your Home in Winter?C. Good Relations between Humans and BugsD. What Does Diapause Mean?BThe morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view? ”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.“If you come by right now, ”the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in. ”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good. ”“How long do I have to wait for him? ”I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork, ”the assistant said.“The artwork? ”I was puzzled.The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief!6. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?A. Cheerful.B. Nervous.C. Satisfied.D. Upset.7. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.8. Why did the author suddenly smile?A. Because the dentist came at last.B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.C. Because she could relax in the chair.D. Because the assistant kept comforting her. 9. What did the author learn from her experience most probably?A. Strike while the iron is hot.B. Have a good word for one’s friend.C. Put oneself in others’ shoes.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.【拓展题型训练】阅读第二节（2013·沈阳高二检测）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Module 2 A Job Worth Doing Section Ⅰ Introduction &Reading-Pre-readingCareer values in general are when you start working in the “real world”， what are the qualities that are the most important to you personally in your career, and what long­term features of your career do you value.Values are the things that are the most important to us in our lives and careers. Our values are formed in a variety of ways through our life experiences, our feelings and our families. In the context of Career Planning, values generally refer to the things we value in a career. For example, some people value job security (安全), money, structure and a regular schedule.Others value flexibility (灵活性), excitement, independence and variety.Career values are things we feel very strongly about. For example, most of us will say that having enough money to live comfortably is important to us, but many are willing to work for less because what they value most is not money, it’s something else such as working for a specific (特定的) cause, helping people or having free time. Being aware of what we value in our lives is important because a career choice that is consistent with our core (核心) beliefs and values is more likely to be a lasting and positive choice.Section_ⅠIntroduction_&_Reading_—_Pre­reading[原文呈现][读文清障]The Human Traffic Signal①At 3,500 metres, La Paz, in Bolivia, is the highest capital in the world.

Upon completion of their primary school education, her parents started a small business. Five years ago, they moved to Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, with Ling and her younger brother. They have purchased an apartment and a small shop there. “My family isn’t short of money. My father doesn’t want me to pursue university education because he thinks it not worthwhile going to university, ”Ling said.Her father estimates it will cost a total of 80, 000 yuan in tuition fees and living expenses to finish a four-year university education. If his daughter works for four years instead, she can earn at least 80, 000 yuan in four years. With that money, she can start a small business. “In my neighborhood, at least 10 university graduates cannot find jobs and stay at home, ”her father told the reporter. He said as a primary school graduate, he earned more than many university graduates with his small business. He said his view that attending a university is not worthwhile is not groundless, pointing that nearly 7 million students graduated from institutions of higher learning nationwide this year and their employment situation is not so good.To persuade her father to support her higher education financially, Ling has done many things but in vain. After her story spread online, a survey was made on the website to seek netizens’views. More than 10, 000 netizens replied and 71 perce nt supported her father’s view. About 50 percent thought society was a good university and about 20 percent thought a person could improve himself or herself anywhere.Despite strong opposition from survey respondents, 55 readers of them said higher educa tion could broaden one’s horizons. They want to help Ling financially since she cannot borrow money from her relatives who share her father’s view.5. Why doesn’t her father support Ling’s higher education?A. Because her family is short of money.B. Because she has to enter a local university.C. Because he thinks it not worthwhile going to university.D. Because Ling’s father is a businessman.6. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. University worthless causes heated discussion.B. University will cost much money in tuition fees and living expenses.C. University students’ emp loyment situation is bad.D. Society is a good university.7. According to Ling’s father’s view, their family could at least benefityuan from her work instead of university in four years.A. 80, 000B. 160, 000C. 10, 000D. 18, 0008. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?A. Ling is likely to go to university.B. Ling will start a small business.C. Ling will give in.D. Ling doesn’t know how to deal with the situation.COn a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.“Everything went quiet in my head, ”Tim recalls(回忆). “I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line. ”Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back, ”he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk. ”After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella! ”Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.“Let’s aim for the pier(码头), ”Jac k said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim? ”he cried. “A little bit, ”the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.“Are we almost there? ”they asked again and again. “Yes, ”Tim told them each time.After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.9. Why did the two boys go to the sea?A. To go boat rowing.B. To get back their football.C. To swim in the open water.D. To test the umbrella as a sail.10.
