I was chosen to work in a school with disabled children. The teacher asked me to look after Nancy, a ten-year-old girl. One of her hands could not move.

A sad movie may be more suitable for you.Some scientists at Ohio University, the US, have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement《赎罪》. The movie tells the story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. After the movie, the 361 students from many colleges answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to measure different emotions, including sadness.According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believe this is because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers on the screen, their lives were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” on e student wrote. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that negative moods make people more thoughtful. “Positive emotions are generally a signal that everything is fine, you don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about i ssues（结果）in your life,” she said, “but negativeemotions, like sadness, make you think more critically about your situation. So seeing a sad movie may make you sad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and appreciate th em more.”1.How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists?A.Three timesB.Four timesC. Five timesD.Six times2.Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?A.Scientists did a survey among 316 college studentsB.The students watched a movie called TitanicC.The movie made students feel worse after watching itD.The movie made students think about their own life and relationships3.What does the write want to tell us?A.We should watch comedy movies when we are unhappyB.We should watch sad movies when we are unhappyC. We should talk with friends when we are unhappyD. We should ask scientists for help when we are unhappyBSmog covers parts of North China in 2013. In January, Beijing had only five days without smog. The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that if the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory（呼吸系统）and heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.Smog especially is a common concern. Like a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or vocation. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many Representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life," he said.China needs to develop its economy and invest(投资) in high-tech. Every Chinese wants a strong country. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can migrate to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth. 4．The effect of smog includes the following EXCEPT________. .A more people getting fearfulB.the increase of people’s incomeC．more people suffering from diseasesD.the rising of PM2.5 readings5．The underlined phrase “organic food” in Paragraph 4 probably means_________.A.delicious foodB.unpolluted green foodC.food intended for the rich and officials onlyD.food recommended by doctors6.What’s the main purpose of the passage？A.To tell us underground water is being polluted and not safe for drinkingB.To tell us with the rising PM2.5readings,the air quality is becoming worse and worseC.To tell us we could move to Mars after Earth is destroyedD.To tell us we must protect the environment while developing economyCHave you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it"s a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference. When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons. Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don"t just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That"s how we live an exciting life.7:From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone whoA．is like themselvesB．has a sense of humorC．is open-mindedD．lives an exciting life8 :People like staying in their comfort zone because they mayA．remain comfortable and specialB．be accepted easily and feel safeC．find out more interesting thingsD．discover differences among themselves9:What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.B．To introduce ways to learn about the world.C．To explain how people communicate with others.D．To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.DWhat colour is your name?
