who had gathered around me were arguing as to 2.________should have the honor of receiving me 3.________a guest in their house.Finally，I accepted the offer of an old woman who lived alone in a little house.While she was getting me 4.________into a tiny but clean room，the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to a small town some 20 kilometres away 5.________there was a

8.________.Any observant people have noticed that a wild animal will allow a man or other potential enemy to approach only up to a given distance before it escapes.“Flight distance”is the terms used for this interspecies spacing.As a general rule，there is a positive relationship between the size of an animal and its flight distance—the larger the animal，the greater the distance it must keep between itself and the enemy.An antelope will escape when the enemy is as much as five hundred yards away.The wall lizard’s(壁虎) flight distance，on the other hand，is about six feet.Flight is the basic means of survival for mobile creatures.Critical distance apparently is present wherever and whenever there is a flight reaction.“Critical distance”includes the narrow zone separating flight distance from attack distance.A lion in a zoo will flee from an approaching man until it meets a barrier that it cannot overcome.If the man continues the approach，he soon penetrates the lion’s critical distance，at which point the cornered lion turns back and begins slowly stalk(逼近) the man.Social animals need to stay in touch with each other.Loss of contact with the group can be fatal(致命的) for a variety of reasons including exposure to enemies.Social distance is not simply the distance at which an animal will lose contact with his group—that is，the distance at which it can no longer see，hear，or smell the group—it is rather a psychological distance，one at which the animal apparently begins to feel anxious when it goes beyond its limits.We can think of it as a hidden band that contains the group.Social distance varies from species to species.It is quite short—apparently only a few yards—among some animals，and quite long among others.Social distance is not always rigidly(刻板地) fixed but is determined in part by the situation.When the young of apes and humans are mobile but not yet under control of the mother’s voice，social distance may be the length of her reach.This is readily observed among baboons(狒狒)in a zoo.When the baby approaches a certain point，the mother reaches out to seize the end of its tail and pull it back to her.When added control is needed because of danger，social distance shortens.To show this in man，one has only to watch a_family_with_a_number_of_small_children_holding_hands_as_they_cross_a_busy_street.1．Which of the following is the most suitable explanation to “Flight distance”？A．Distance between animals of the same species before escaping.B．Distance between large and small animals before escaping.C．Distance between an animal and its enemy before escaping.D．Distance between certain animal species before escaping.2．If a lion’s critical distance is penetrated，it will ________.A．begin to attack B．try to hideC．begin to jump D．run away3．The example of “the children holding hands when crossing the street” in the last paragraph shows that ________.A．social distance is not always neededB．there is no social distance among childrenC．human are different from animals in social distanceD．social distance is sometimes determined by outside factors(因素)4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Critical DistanceB．Spacing in AnimalsC．Relationship between AnimalsD．Psychological Distance1．On_arriving，he invited me to meet his family.

As the pace of life continues to increase，we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life，being on the go from morning till night，it is hard to __1__ down.But relaxation is __2__ for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a __3__ part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.In fact，it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give __4__ to life.It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and __5__ health.The amount of stress a person can bear __6__ very much on the individual.Some people are not afraid of stress，and such __7__ are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities.Others lose heart at the __8__ of difficulties.When exposed to stress，in whatever form，we react both chemically and physically.In fact we make a choice between __9__ and fight.And in more ancient days the choices made the __10__ between life and death.The crises(危机) we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme，but however little the stress，it requires the same response.It is when such a reaction __11__ long，through continued exposure to stress，that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have __12__ links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our

she would go to the ball with him even without his inviting her.Contrary to Paul’s attitude，Egare sang praise for her beauty as well as her wisdom and 6.________ gave her a large bouquet(束) of flowers

Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University says eighteen states have full－time virtual(虚拟的) schools.There are no buildings.All classes are online.Online learners might work at different times.But there might be set times for class discussions—by text，voice or video—and virtual office hours for teachers.Florida started the first statewide public virtual school in the United States in 1997.Today，the Florida Virtual School offers more than ninety courses.Fifty－six thousand students were enrolled as of December.Almost sixty percent were female.The school’s website says each student was enrolled in an average of two classes.Two－thirds were also enrolled in public or charter schools.Other students are home－schooled or in private schools.Florida Virtual School has now opened the Florida Virtual Global School.Students in other countries pay for classes.Janet Heiking teaches an English class.She lives in Indianapolis，Indiana.Her students live as far away as Africa and Japan.She says they are taking her Advanced Placement class to prepare for attending an American college.They can earn college credits by passing the A．P. test.So how good are virtual schools？Studies have shown mixed results，as that new report from Indiana University notes.For example，students at Florida Virtual School earned higher grades than those taking the same courses in the traditional way.And they scored higher on a statewide test.But virtual school students in Kansas and Colorado had lower test scores or performed at a lower level than traditional learners.Studies also find that virtual schools may not save much in operating costs.Education experts say the mixed results suggest the need for more research to find the best ways to teach in virtual schools.Also，they say schools of education need to train more teachers to work in both physical and virtual classrooms.1．Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of virtual schools?A．There are no buildings and all classes are online.B．Students prepare for attending American colleges.C．The students can live as far away as they can.D．Online learners might work at different times.2．The underlined word “enroll” in the second paragraph probably means ________.A．register B．dismissC．invite D．attract3．What’s the disadvantage of virtual schools according to the studies?A．Virtual school students had higher test scores than those traditional learners.B．There aren’t set times for class discussions.C．Virtual schools may not save much in operating costs.D．Virtual school students performed at a lower level than traditional learners.4．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.A．people have different opinions on virtual schoolsB．virtual schools have many disadvantagesC．teachers in the United States are not enoughD．more research remains to be done about virtual schools1．And in more ancient days the choices made_the_difference between life and death.

beetles.They have a way of sending out light signals every now and then.If you see them at night on a tree，you might think it is a brightly lit Christmas tree.That is the kind of light these fireflies produce.But the light they send out does not have heat like the bulbs we use，and the firefly’s light is cold.Actually these beetles could be the most efficient bulbs if we knew how to use them，for almost all the energy they produce gets changed into bright light—cool light.How do they do it？The back portions of their abdomens (腹部) are pellucid.There are cells of crystals or chemical substances inside which get broken down byenzymes (酶)．Some energy is released in the form of light.The fireflies send out light signals at fixed intervals.And the purpose behind it is to attract beetles for mating (交配)．But one firefly’s signal is different from another’s，depending on its sex and the type of family it belongs to.If a firefly sends out a light signal at a fixed interval but gets a response either too soon or too late，it will ignore the light signal.It is like a perfect dance sequence.If you are faster or slower than your partner，the dance fails.Fireflies come from two families of beetles.One family of fireflies is usually found in Europe，North America and Australia.The other family of fireflies is found in the Pacific islands.There is another type of beetle which gives out a softer light.It is called the glow worm.1．What’s the difference between the light of the bulb and the firefly’s light？(No more than 15 words)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2．How do fireflies send out light signals？(No more than 20 words)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3．On what condition will fireflies attract

words)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4．List three places where fireflies live.(No more

feeling of triumph by showing we’re better than someone else in a certain way.According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons—that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves.Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else’s expense.Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes.Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us.We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin.The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society.This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people.Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it’s different from things which are happening around it.The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is.If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we don’t laugh because nothing unusual has happened.But if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh.A good joke－teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh.1．The underlined word “inferiority”(in Paragraph 1) means________.A．something that is not as good as something
