It has knocked off long running Zynga titles Words with Friendsand Cityville from top spots in the mobile apps charts.Industry tracker App Data reported that 13.3 million people a day used Draw Something.It wasn't overnight success for OMGPOP, the New York based developer started in 2009 and created 35 other social games before hitting the gaming jackpot.The story is similar to that of Angry Birds, the most popular game ever on a smartphone.

But too much Internet use by teens – or too little, for that matter – might be related to depression (抑郁), a new study finds.The findings, reported in the Journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For on e, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms (症状). Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non – use, could show that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr. Pierre – Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7, 200 individuals ages 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who were online more than two hours per day were consider ed ―heavy‖ Internet users,while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered ―regular‖ users.The teenagers also answered a number of health – related questions, including some standard questions about ―depressive tendencies‖ (抑郁倾向) that show how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non – users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among boys, heavy users and non – users were both around one – third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to ―regular‖ users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non –users had a 46 percent compared to regular users.Since teenagers typically go online to connect with friends. The researches find that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.56. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A.Teenagers never go online are good students.B.Teenagers never go online may get depression.C.Surfing the Internet for teenagers is bad behavior.D.Internet is the reason of teenager’s depression.57. How long does the writer suggest teens to go online per week?A.Less than 14 hours.B.More than 14 hours.C.More than 20 hours.D.Less than 20 hours.58. The purpose of Dr. Michaud and colleagues’ study is to know ______________.A.the actual time of teenagers learning onlineB.the actual number of teenagers playing onlineC.the influence on school study about teenagers onlineD.the relationship between Internet use and depression59. What’s the meaning of the word isolated in the last paragraph?A. Independent.B. United.C. SeparateD. Humorous.When I moved to the country 20 years ago, I took a job as a school bus driver. I’d never had any interest in driving schoolchildren to and from school, but 10 years later, I was still working on the school bus.There are so many good reasons why I stayed. Firstly, it was the conversations that brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers who were afraid to be starting at a new school. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently for them to get on for the trip home.Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, ―Look, Miss! Look at the camels!‖ He used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a fly would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he smartly gave up the habit.I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and cried loudly all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus stairs, she threw her arms around my neck and sobbed (抽泣) that her grandfather had died the night before.A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back. My catchphrase (口头禅) each day was that I was ―taking the monsters (怪兽) to their mothers‖.Now, it’s necessary to think how many lives I’ve been responsible for throughout the years, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely. I’ve enjoyed it, but after 20 years, it’s time to rest and park my school bus for good. Long live the school bus driver!53. When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?A. 5 years ago.B. 10 years ago.C. 20 years ago.D. 30 years ago.54. The writer enjoyed her job because ______.A. driving was her hobbyB. children made her valuableC. drivers were paid wellD. she liked the environment55. What is the writer’s future plan?A. She decides to give up the job.B. She tries to go on driving.C. She wants to have a holiday.D. She hopes to have more kids.Not long ago, I opened an interesting e-mail from Jennifer in Canada. We became friends. One day, she invited me and 11 other women to a ―Movie Night‖ to be held every six weeks at her house. We’d talk, eat and watch feel-good movies. I e-mailed her back immediately: I was in.Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifer’s make sense. In a US study, researchers measured (测量) the ha ppiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).―People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,‖ says Dr. Toupey Luft. ―Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.‖ With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的) relationships to your social circle. Here’s how:―Nobody is all positive or all negative,‖ says Luft. ―But there are people you may feel more positi ve. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.‖ When spending time with others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. ―But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,‖ says Luft. Are your friends n egative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instea d. Luft says, ―Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.‖―If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,‖ says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives. While your friendmay need to be left alone, you may want caring phone calls. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.56. What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?A. How many friends you have.B. How people you connect with feel.C. What situation you are in now.D. What kind of friends you have.57. What does the first suggestion want us to do?A. To measure our happiness.B. To check people around.C. To join a group for hobbies.D. To leave negative friends.58. Which of the following is true?A. All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.B. It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long.C. Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.D. We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.59. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.A. when your friend leaves you, you need comfortB. when your friend is sad, you should call her upC. people may behave differently during hard timesD. friends’ needs may be quite different sometimes（2012大兴一模）CI love my iPhone---it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me.I also love my computer, as it stores all of my writing and thoughts. Though I love these devices(装置) of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from them and truly communicate with others.I teach history in a high school. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes(主题) and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and share their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule---no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule before class, some of them were not happy at all.Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students believe that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to k eep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions(打断) by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and students realize that with deep conversation, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about techno logy use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.53. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A. The reasons why students should use computers or iPads in class.B. The advantages of using cell phones and computers in the classroom.C. What the writer is trying to do and what rule has been made in class.D. A new learning style that the teacher enjoys using in history class.54. According to the writer, the use of technology in the classroom may _____.A. improve teaching and offer more helpB. allow students to get on well with each otherC. help students concentrate on what they learnD. keep students from making deep conversations55. What can we infer from the passage?A. The teacher will carry on the success in the future.B. The teacher will have to cancel the rule in class.C. Some students will be punished according to the rule.D. More and more students will be absent in history class.（2012大兴一模）DThe ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful inanother way. Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.―Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?‖ asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group in Scotland. ―There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.‖Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity. The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy, and it is already being used in Scotland.Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. ―The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,‖ Taylor said. ―Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.‖When waves come towards the coast, people can set up dams(大坝) to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮). The turbine can then power an electrical generator(发电机).We will never run out of wave power. Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as oil and coal do.Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface. That would make wave powe r seem perfect for creating energy around the world. But there are some disadvantages that need us to pay more attention to.Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money. He said that its influence on animals in the sea is still unknown. Besides, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.With more research, ―Many of these problems might be solved,‖ Taylor said. ―Finding more energy sources(资源) is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run ou t some day.‖In the future, when you turn on a light button, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!56. We can learn from the passage that__________________.A. almost every country is making use of the wave power at presentB. it is necessary for us to develop wave power instead of oil and coalC. wave power will be sure to make some bad influence on sea animalsD. scientists are making efforts to find new ways of fishing and boat traffic57. What does the fourth paragraph tell us?A. Why scientists are doing the research on wave power.B. What experience that scientists have achieved so far.C. How the wave energy forms and grows bigger.D. Which countries are trying out wave power.58. What’s the writer’s attitude towar ds wave power?A. The writer believes that wave power will be used widely by man.B. The writer doubts if wave energy can be changed into electricity.C. The writer is sure the experiments will come to the end some day.D. The writer thinks that wave p ower isn’t worth researching at all.59. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Sea Animals and Wave Power.B. How Do We Get Wave Energy?C. The Advantages of Wave Power.D. Can Waves Make Electricity?（2012 东城一模）CFlorida school children chose the panther as the state animal. Florida panthers are a type of mountain lion. The Florida panther is the only group of mountain lions east of the Mississippi River. The panther stands for beauty and power of life.Is the Florida panther endangered?In 1967 the government listed the Florida panther as endangered. Endangered means that without human help an animal or plant will become extinct. Extinct means that the animal or plant will never again stay alive on earth.What do Florida panthers look like?Panthers are about 10 times as big as a housecat. Like all cats they have very sharp claws and teeth. They need sharp claws and teeth to kill and eat their food. Florida panthers are tawny (the same color as deer). The fur on their bellies and the inside of their legs is lighter, and the fur on their backs, tails, and legs is darker. These are Florida panther paw prints:What do Florida panthers eat?Panthers only eat meat. Panthers eat deer, wild hogs, raccoons, armadillos, and rabbits. Sometimes they eat birds and even alligators. No panther has ever even killed a person.What kinds of families do panthers have?Panther females and kittens make up the panther family. The father does not help take care of the kittens. Panthers may have from 1 to 4 kittens. Panthers leave their mothers when they are about 2 years old. Growing up is harder for boy panthers than girl panthers. Girls often stay near their mother. Boys must try to find a home range of their own.Where do Florida panthers live?Panthers need lots of land. The area where a panther hunts is its home range. They prefer hardwood hammocks and pine forest with lots of palmettos for their range. Panthers usually rest during the day hidden in thickets of palmetto. At dusk they begin to travel and hunt. Unless you are very lucky, you will probably never see a panther in the wild. But you can help them by protecting the lands they need to keep alive. You can support efforts to recover the panther from being endangered.53. Which of the following looks like the panther most?A. B. C. D.54. The underlined word ―extinct‖ means ―________‖.A. deadB. dangerousC. brightD. natural55. The panther was chosen as the state animal mainly because ______.A. no panther has ever killed a personB. the panther is beautiful and full of energyC. people may never see a panther in the wildD. panthers leave their mothers at an early age56. How do people protect the panther in Florida?A. They take panthers to the zoo.B. They give panthers enough meat.C. They keep the land safe for panthers.D. They help to look after small panthers.Front pawLength: 3 inchesWidth: 3.5 inchesHind pawLength: 3 inchesWidth: 3 inches（2012 东城一模）DWhen we found Tony, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were dirty. There was blood all over his right arm. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked a few yards with difficulty through the woods and fell again. When we lifted him off the ground, he tried to break away and run, like a wild animal.After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His footprints showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so weak by fear that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. He was very tired. We found him just in time. This man, like others before him, was full of fear when he knew he was lost.Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of watching out. An experienced woodsman always keeps an eye on the things around him. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction that water flows through the mountain, and everything along with him when he travels—how a tree leans across it and how a rock stands. He sees the way and the general flows of water. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times, but his way is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does get into some strange difficulty that puts him into the ―lost‖ column. A rainstorm may catch him without a com pass to show him the direction. Darkness may find him in a very hard situation, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of difficulty as a result of this poor woodsmanship. He may also worry about the trouble that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. If he is short of experience, he may keep on the move in an effort to find the camp against all bad happenings. And the result is that he might walk in circles or in the wrong direction and in the end beat himself out physically and mentally—he will be found mad and crazy.57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Tony went to look for a wild animal.B. Tony found his gun in the circle he walked.C. A man will be full of fear when he gets lost.D. A man won’t get lost if he has a sense of direction.58. The word ―woodsmanship‖ refers to ______.A. ways of protecting the forestB. the art of traveling in the forestsC. the experience of finding a lost manD. skills of helping people in the woods59. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Don’t Be MadB. Fears in the ForestC. Easy to Get LostD. What to Do in the Forest（2012房山一模）CA newspaper reporter’s job can be very interesting. He meets all kinds of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let’s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the president of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And atother times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent(通讯记者、特派员). Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is to make people pleasant. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one task to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was destroyed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never boring!53. Reporters who write on films are said to be lucky because they _____.A. can write anything they like because the film stars like themB. can see the films before most people see them in the cinemaC. can pay less than other people because they know the film starsD. can see more film stars before most people see them in the cinema54. A reporter’s work can be dangerous when _____.A. there is a flood or a riotB. he is seeing a frightening filmC. there is a football matchD. he is interviewing the president55. From the passage we can infer that, to be a good reporter, he must be all of the following except _____.A. braveB. strongC. quick in mindD. good at writing（2012房山一模） DImagine, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your officein Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day ofwork, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it has come true, with thedevelopment of China’s high -speed railway system(系统). Andthat’s not all. China has an even greater high -speed railway plan —to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and finallyEastern Europe.China is negotiating(协商) to spread its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, at the end reaching London and Singapore.China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore through Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.China’s plan for the high -speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing within two days. The new system would still follow China’s high -speed railway standards.China’s high-speed train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.Of course, there are some technical challenges we have to face. There are so many things to be improved, for example, safety. So, it’s important to pay attention to every tiny thing.But the key point is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on the railway system in the country.China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources(资源) r ather than with capit al investment(投资). Resources from those countries could stream into China to its long-term development.It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will surely create more chances for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We foresee that in the near future, millions of people will move to the western areas, where the land is empty and resources rich. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.56. Which of the following is true?A. China’s far western areas need to be further developed.B. China plans to connect Southeast Asia with Eastern Europe.C. There is enough money for China to carry out high-speed railway plan.D. Safety problem of the high-speed railway has been completely solved.57. What does the underlined sentence ―It will be a win-win project‖ in the passage mean?A. China will win for ever in the project.B. The project will win China a lot of money.C. Chinese will arrive wherever they want to go with the project.D. The project will do good to both China and the countries mentioned.58. What’s the writer’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?A. He agrees.B. He doesn’t care about it.C. He disagrees.D. He doubts whether it will come true.59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. New Railway StandardsB. Big Railway DreamsC. International Railway NetworkD. High-speed Trains(2012丰台一模)CDO you have a lucky number?

It was hot and dark. It was also very wet.Water was falling from the leaves of the trees like rain. The ground was covered with dead leaves but there were thousands of new plants growing.The most exciting plants were the large trees. Some were 50 meters high. I could only see little pieces of blue sky through the leaves. All the trees had small plants growing on them, and some of these had beautiful, brightly colored flowers.It was very noisy. I could hear lots of birds. They were hard to see but I saw one green and red parrot flying high above me. It was beautiful. The insects(昆虫) also made a lot of noise and I could feel them on my arms and legs.I didn‘t see any monkeys. They were probably sleeping high up in the treetops. I did see a small snake on the ground. I hate snakes so I walked quickly but carefully out of the forest.I wouldn‘t like to live in a rainforest but I am happy that I could see one before they all disappear from Earth.64.

He was sent to Mexico in order to investigate(调查) a Mexican drug company and stayed there for four and a half years. His efforts helped put a stop to several major drug making companies. So the bosses wanted to murder the men who brought them down. When Camarena left his office for a lunch date with his wife on February 7, 1985, a car drove up and kidnapped(绑架) him, and a month later he was killed. At that time he was only 37 years old.Shortly after his death, people in Camarena‘ s town began wearing red ribbons in his honor. Then Camarena‘ s high school friend, Henry Lozano, started Camarena Club. Hundreds of people joined the club and promised to be drug-free in order to honor the death of Camarena. And then schools in several states began to join in. Now, at the end of every October, millions of Americans wear red ribbons in memory of ―Kiki‖ Camarena. So, in 1988, the f irst national Red Ribbon Week was founded in America.Red Ribbon Week has become the largest drug education and prevention organization in the United States. It encourages communities to stand up against drugs and it encourages children to make a promise not to take drugs in their life.64. Is Red Ribbon Week held at the end of October in America?65.

There has been a new trend(趋势)in food recently—getting away from fast food and moving toward ―slow food‖.For years, the pace of life was increasing for most people. They were too busy to cook. The trouble including buying, preparing and cleaning up after a meal was becoming more bother than it was worth clearly. Luckily, there were smart business people who took the chance to provide a ―fast‖ way to deal with the problem. Almost overnight, you could drop by the supermarket and buy complete meals in packages. All you had to do was to heat it and you could be eating a delicious meal in 5 minutes. Just add salt.Still too slow? OK, just drive your car up to the fast-food restaurant, order your meal and within 2 minutes it will be handed over to you with salt.The problem is health. Fast food has much more oil, salt and empty calories and far less vitamins than food freshly prepared at home. And so, since people have always wanted to live longer and healthier, a small but growing population is choosing not only fresh food, but also organically(有机)grown food—food that hasn‘t been grown with chemical fertilizers(化肥).Another reason for changes in eating habits is undoubtedly social. Over the centuries, meal times have been used to visit, laugh and learn. That doesn‘t fit with today‘ s lifestyle and many people are looking for ways to return to that. Goodbye McDonald‘s.Finally, there‘ s something special about planning your meal, buying just the right ingredients(原料)and seeing something on your table that looks just like the picture in your recipe book(菜谱). So if you‘re too busy, maybe it‘ s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend.64. Do some people begin to enjoy ―slow food‖?65. Why did people start eating fast food?66.

A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. Once you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interests in the World Wide Web. At the same time you will find it is helpful and your life is far more interesting than before.To know the Internet, we are supposed to know the World Wide Web.The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favorite sports or film stars, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the Internet. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.E-mail is a tool people often use through the Internet.An e-mail is a way to send messages to others. It‘s much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to send e-mails, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots(点) and an ―@‖( meaning ―at‖). This is what an address looks like: Emily @ star. net. Write a message, type in the person‘s e-mail address, and then send the message on the Internet. People don‘t have to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office since the invention of the Internet.Quick, easy and interesting--that‘s the Internet!64.

But how does texting affect our everyday lives?According to a study, young people prefer text-messaging to talk with friends no matter where they are. They even want to do it under the noses of parents and teachers. It seems that some teenagers just can‘t stop texting. This could be bad for their studies and health. For example, Ann, a 16-year-old girl from New York, lost feeling in her hands after sending over 100 texts a day from her mobile phone. She will have to have surgery (外科手术) on her wrists (手腕) in order to fix the problem.But texting isn‘t all bad. It helps to make our lives better in some ways. Today many teenagers greet each other on holidays by sending text messages instead of writing paper cards. ―Texting instead of sending letters helps me save my pocket money,‖ said Chen Qi, 16, a boy from Sichuan. ―It is also eco-friendly because it saves paper.‖Texting can improve relationships between young people and their parents. In the US, man parents send their kids texts instead of shouting at them. Some say texts are more friendly than spoken messages. It‘s also easier for teenagers to accept them.Sending text messages is becoming more and more popular. But when you send text messages, keep the following advice in mind:◆ Don‘t send text messages while riding a bike or walking along a busy street. It is dangerous.◆ Don‘t send the same text message over and over again. If you haven‘t received a reply, send a different message.◆ If you have something really important to say, use the phone or make plans to meet in person rather than using a text.◆ Try to keep the text message short and make sure that your meaning is clear.◆ Be polite. Reply to people when they send you a message. It is good to let people know that you have received their messages.64. Is sending text messages part of our lives?65. What do young people like better, text-messaging or talking with each other?66. Why did Ann lose feeling in her hands?67. What advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?68.

They are not necessarily surprising, but they have worked for many people. Try them.※ Remember your mother‘s ageAs children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Knowing our mother‘ s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.※ Listen to your motherI have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are pretty useful. If you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help your mother feel close to you.※Ask your mother about your childhood historyIf you are lucky enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.Taking any measure to understand our mother is the topic of how we understand ourselves. We should follow the way of her life. When we are able to accept our mother—with all her failings, we can understand her better and it can also help us to know about our shortcomings. Remember that understanding our mother is really about understanding ourselves.64. Should we learn to understand our mother well?65. What can help us understand our mother better?66. How do we make our mother feel close to us?67. Why do we ask our mother about our childhood history?68.

The New York Times said, ―He is stunning.(令人震惊)‖ However, the story of Lang Lang‘s life is much more interesting than this simple sentence.Lang Lang was born in 1982 in Shenyang, China. He was watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon on television when he first heard Western classical music. He was only two years old then. Lang Lang began taking piano lessons at the age of three. He won the first prize in the Shenyang Piano Competition only two years later. From then on, he won many awards.However, Lang Lang‘ s success came at a price. His father was very strict with him. He was practicing the piano while other children of his age were playing games and having fun. When Lang Lang was nine, his father quit his job and took him to Beijing. There, Lang Lang entered the finest music academy in China.At the age of just 17, Lang Lang got his big chance. In August 1999, at a famous musical event in the USA, a pianist suddenly fell ill. Lang Lang was chosen to play in place of that pianist. It was a great success and Lang Lang‘s life was changed forever.Today, Lang Lang gives about 150 performances a year. He has played with the greatest orchestras in the world and at huge events such as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.Lang Lang says he is thankful to his parents because they have always encouraged and supported him.64. Is Lang Lang a famous pianist?65. Why is Lang Lang thankful to his parents?66. When did he win the first prize in the Shenyang Piano Competition?67.

Today children go away to college, and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers.Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don‘ t care deeply about them. Whether we realize it or not, this feeling of being disconnected makes people feel a kind of lonely. ―People need to feel connected,‖ says Joy Browne, a doctor in the USA. ―And they will do it in the easiest ways.‖ When family members aren‘t connected, what could be easier than forming (形成)a connection to famous people?This isn‘t something unusual, of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It‘s natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way. But that‘ s unhealthy, because these relationships aren‘t two-way.For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. We‘ll never turn back the clock to keep families from breaking. But parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins, and by telling them the children‘s latest activities and interests.We can use technology to keep connected with each other. It‘s easy to send e-mails to granddad. Better yet, take a vacation with members of your relatives—not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people, they can‘t be there to cry for us.64. Are many of children truly connected only to their parents and brothers?65. How does this feeling of being disconnected make people feel?66. Where is Joy Browne from?67. What can we use to keep connected with each other?68. What‘s the main idea of the passage?10.2012 平谷一模Acne(粉刺) is a very common skin disease. In fact it is the commonest skin disease among people. Many teenagers get acne. Usually it lasts only a couple of years and then it disappears. However, some people still have acne after the age of 20. And 5% of men over 50 still have acne. Acne ―runs in the family‖. So if your parents had had acne, you may get the disease too. And you need to look after your skin.What causes acne? Where does acne come from? The human body produces oil; this keeps the skin and hair healthy. But at times the body produces too much oil. Then the oil closes the holes round the hairs on the face. If the holes are closed, spots appear. This is called acne.The following information will help you to know some truths about acne.● Some of your friends will say:‖ If you have acne, you mustn‘t eat foods like chocolate and fried potatoes.‖ Wrong! Acne is not caused by diet, so you can eat all your favourite foods.● ―If I‘ve got bad acne, I should wash my face more often.‖ Wrong! Was hing the face is not an answer. The problem lies under the skin, not above the skin.● ―Luckily you can only get acne on your face.‖ Wrong! People can get acne on the face, neck, chest and back.So what can you do if you have acne? If you have bad acne,● don‘ t wear a tie; a tight collar(领子) around the neck usually makes the acne worse.● if it‘s a sunny day, get out into the sun. Sunshine helps acne get better.● see a doctor. There‘re many safe skin creams for acne.● if you have very bad acne, your doctor may give you pills to take. This makes your body produce less oil.And try not to worry. Most acne will be over in two years. If it helps, think of the Mexican hairless dog. It is theonly animal that gets acne. And there are no doctors for Mexican hairless dogs!64. Is acne a very common skin disease?65. How long does acne usually last?66. What causes acne?67. Where can people get acne?68. What is the passage mainly about?11.2012 顺义一模When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description ―old‖. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think ―growing old‖ is a problem since ―old‖ shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn‘t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don‘t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don‘t show my feelings through words. ----By Jack64. Is Jack a boy from a small village in the US?65. Do people like or dislike to be called ―old‖ in Jack‘s hometown?66. How did the couple feel when Jack called them ―elderly‖?67. Who introduced the reason patiently to Jack?68. What should we learn from Jack‘s experience?12.2012 西城一模In November of 1995, Leslie was working for the Department of Social Services in North Carolina. Her job is to take children out of dangerous home situations and place them in foster homes (寄养家庭). During her first such task, Leslie saw that the children she had come to pick up were carrying all of their things in plastic bags. They didn‘t have suitcases (手提箱) for their clothes. Wanting to help these children, Leslie asked her mother if she could have the family‘s old suitcases to give to them.Leslie‘s 10-year-old sister Abby asked how many foster children there were in the area and found out that there were 300. Most of those children had to carry their things from place to place in plastic bags. Leslie‘s care and the thought of those 300 children made young Abby take action. Abby decided to ask people to give away their old suitcases to these foster children. She began making and hanging posters, speaking at churches, and asking other children for help. But after a few weeks, she had not received any ones. Abby decided to buy some suitcases with her mother‘s help. That‘s how Abby Burnside set up her program, Suitcases for Kids. By March of 1996, Suitcases for Kids had collected and sent 175 suitcases to the foster children.Finally, Abby‘s efforts were noticed by the media. Her story was in newspapers and magazines and Abby appearedon popular television shows. As the story became known, Abby‘ s local chapter (分支机构) received more and more suitcases, until it collected 4,000 suitcases in 1996. Soon, Abby was traveling to different states to help set up new Suitcases for Kids chapters. By the end of 1996, there were Suitcases for Kids chapters in 19 different states. After two full years, Suitcases for Kids had set up chapters in all 50 states. By its sixth year, the little organization reached international attention, having chapters in more than ten countries. Now thousands of children around the world can carry their things in suitcases instead of plastic bags just because a 10-year-old girl decided one day that she just wanted to help.64. Was Leslie‘s work to help the foster children?65. What did the children use to carry their things at first?66. Why did Abby decide to take action?67.

In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup (民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress werehighest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do no t know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.64. How many people were questioned to do the survey?65. What were the questions in the survey about?66.

You can find it on building, sidewalks and street signs from Tokyo to Paris.It is said that the movement(运动) began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to put their words and other pictures on walls and train cars around the city. One well-known street artist(艺术家) is Swoon. She cuts out paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn‘t start her career(生涯) as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums and galleries(美术馆). The people enjoyed Swoon‘s strong and interesting style.Street artists do their work for a reason. Some of them choose street art because it is closer to the people. Some artists try to express their political opinions in their works. Advertising companies also use street art in their advertisements. The New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue recently used a street artist‘ s design for their shop windows and shopping bags.In today‘s world, artists can show their pictures to the people all over the world on the Internet. Many people, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live. Street art lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.64. Did street art start from Paris?65. Where did the street artists paint at the beginning?66. What did people think of Swoon‘s street art?67.

It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and age. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, wearing sunglasses can serve as a great way to protect。

He was sent to Mexico in order to investigate(调查) a Mexican drug company and stayed there for four and a half years. His efforts helped put a stop to several major drug making companies. So the bosses wanted to murder the men who brought them down. When Camarena left his office for a lunch date with his wife on February 7, 1985, a car drove up and kidnapped(绑架) him, and a month later he was killed. At that time he was only 37 years old.Shortly after his dea th, people in Camarena’s town began wearing red ribbons in his honor. Then Camarena’s high school friend, Henry Lozano, started Camarena Club. Hundreds of people joined the club and promised to be drug-free in order to honor the death of Camarena. And then schools in several states began to join in. Now, at the end of every October, millions of Americans wear red ribbons in memory of “Kiki” Camarena. So, in 1988, the first national Red Ribbon Week was founded in America.Red Ribbon Week has become the largest drug education and prevention organization in the United States. It encourages communities to stand up against drugs and it encourages children to make a promise not to take drugs in their life.64. Is Red Ribbon Week held at the end of October in America?65.

What’s the passage mainly about?（2012 东城一模）So if you’re too busy, maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend. There has been a new trend （趋势）in food recently—getting away from fast food and moving toward “slow food”.For years, the pace of life was increasing for most people. They were too busy to cook. The trouble including buying, preparing and cleaning up after a meal was becoming more bother than it was worth clearly. Luckily, there were smart business people who took the chance to provide a “fast” way to deal w ith the problem. Almost overnight, you could drop by the supermarket and buy complete meals in packages. All you had to do was to heat it and you could be eating a delicious meal in 5 minutes. Just add salt.Still too slow? OK, just drive your car up to the fast-food restaurant, order your meal and within 2 minutes it will be handed over to you with salt.The problem is health. Fast food has much more oil, salt and empty calories and far less vitamins than food freshly prepared at home. And so, since people have always wanted to live longer and healthier, a small but growing population is choosing not only fresh food, but also organically（有机）grown food—food that hasn’t been grown with chemical fertilizers（化肥）.Another reason for changes in eating habits is undoubtedly social. Over the centuries, meal times have been used to visit, laugh and learn. That doesn’t fit with today’s lifestyle and many people are looking for ways to return to that. Goodbye McDonald’s.Finally, there’s something special about planning your meal, buying just the right ingredients(原料)and seeingsomething on your table that looks just like the picture in your recipe book(菜谱). So if you’re too busy, maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend.64. Do some people begin to enjoy “slow food”?65. Why did people start eating fast food?66. Where can people get a meal in two minutes?67. What is meant by “Goodbye McDonald’s”?68.

A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. Onc e you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interests in the World Wide Web. At the same time you will find it is helpful and your life is far more interesting than before.To know the Internet, we are supposed to know the World Wide Web.The World Wide Web has been the most popu lar development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favorite sports or film stars, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the Internet. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.E-mail is a tool people often use through the Internet.An e-mail is a way to send messages to others. It's much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to send e-mails, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots(点) and an “@”( meaning “at”). This is what an address looks like: Emily @ star. net. Write a message, type in the person's e-mail address, and then send the message on the Internet. People don't have to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office since the invention of the Internet.Quick , easy and interesting--that's the Internet!64.

What is the passage mainly about?(2012 丰台一模)How many text messages (短信) do you send a day? 10, 50 or over 100? Now sending text messages is part of our lives. But how does texting affect our everyday lives?According to a study, young people prefer text-messaging to talk with friends no matter where they are. They even want to do it under the noses of parents and teachers. It seems that some teenagers just can’t stop texting. This could be bad for their studies and health. For example, Ann, a 16-year-old girl from New York, lost feeling in her hands after sending over 100 texts a day from her mobile phone. She will have to have surgery (外科手术) on her wrists (手腕) in order to fix the problem.But texting isn’t all bad. It helps to make our lives better in some ways.Today many teenagers greet each other on holidays by sending text messages instead of writing paper cards. “Texting instead of sending letters helps me save my pocket money,” said Chen Qi, 16, a boy from Sichuan. “It is also eco-friendly because it saves paper.”Texting can improve relationships between young people and their parents. In the US, man parents send their kids texts instead of shouting at them. Some say texts are more friendly than spoken messages. It’s also easier for teenagers to accept them.Sending text messages is becoming more and more popular. But when you send text messages, keep the following advice in mind:◆Don’t send text messages while riding a bike or walking along a busy street. It is dangerous.◆Don’t send the same text message over and over again. If you haven’t received a reply, send a different message.◆If you have something really important to say, use the phone or make plans to meet in person rather than using a text.◆Try to keep the text message short and make sure that your meaning is clear.◆Be polite. Reply to people when they send you a message. It is good to let people know that you have received their messages.64. Is sending text messages part of our lives?65. What do young people like better, text-messaging or talking with each other?66. Why did Ann lose feeling in her hands?67. What advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?68. What is the passage mainly about?（2012 海淀一模）Learning to understand your mother well is what you should do. Here are the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising, but they have worked for many people. Try them.※Remember your mother's ageAs children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Knowing our mother’s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.※Listen to your motherI have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are pretty useful. If you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help your mother feel close to you.※Ask your mother about your childhood historyIf you are lucky enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.Taking any measure to understand our mother is the topic of how we understand ourselves. We should follow the way of her life. When we are able to accept our mother—with all her failings, we can understand her better and it can also help us to know about our shortcomings. Remember that understanding our mother is really about understanding ourselves.64. Should we learn to understand our mother well?65. What can help us understand our mother better?66. How do we make our mother feel close to us?67. Why do we ask our mother about our childhood history?68.

The New York Times said, “ He is stunning.(令人震惊)” However, the story of Lang Lang’s life is much more interesting than this simple sentence.Lang Lang was born in 1982 in Shenyang, China. He was watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon on television when he first heard Western classical music. He was only two years old then. Lang Lang began taking piano lessons at the age of three. He won the first prize in the Shenyang Piano Competition only two years later. From then on, he won many awards. However, Lang Lang’s success came at a price. His father was very strict with him. He was practicing the piano while other children of his age were playing games and having fun. When Lang Lang was nine, his father quit his job and took him to Beijing. There, Lang Lang entered the finest music academy in China.At the age of just 17, Lang Lang got his big chance. In August 1999, at a famous musical event in the USA, a pianist suddenly fell ill. Lang Lang was chosen to play in place of that pianist. It was a great success and Lang Lang’s life was changed forever.Today, Lang Lang gives about 150 performances a year. He has played with the greatest orchestras in the world and at huge events such as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.Lang Lang says he is thankful to his parents because they have always encouraged and supported him.64. Is Lang Lang a famous pianist?65. Why is Lang Lang thankful to his parents?66. When did he won the first prize in the Shenyang Piano Competition?67. How did Lang Lang get his big chance to change his life?68. According to the passage, what made Lang Lang successful?2012 门头沟一模For many of us, the idea of a family is a lot narrower(变窄了) than it used to be. Today children go away to college, and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers.Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don’t care deeply about them. Whether we realize it or not, this feeling of being disconnected makes people feel a kind of lonely. “People need to feel connected,” says Joy Browne, a doctor in the USA. “And they will do it in the easiest ways.” When family members aren’t connected, what could be easier than forming (形成)a connection to famous people?This isn’t something unusual, of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It’s natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way. But that’s unhealthy, because these relationships aren’t two-way.For that, we n eed to stay connected to our own families. We’ll never turn back the clock to keep families from breaking. But parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins, and by telling them the children’s latest activit ies and interests.We can use technology to keep connected with each other. It’s easy to send e-mails to granddad. Better yet, take a vacation with members of your relatives—not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people, they can’t be there to cry for us.64. Are many of children truly connected only to their parents and brothers?65. How does this feeling of being disconnected make people feel?66. Where is Joy Browne from?67. What can we use to keep connected with each other?68. What’s the main idea of the passage?2012 平谷一模Acne(粉刺) is a very common skin disease. In fact it is the commonest skin disease among people. Many teenagers get acne. Usually it lasts only a couple of years and then it disappears. However, some people still have acne after the age of 20. And 5% of men over 50 still have acne. Acne “runs in the family”. So if your parents had had acne, you may get the disease too. And you need to look after your skin.What causes acne ? Where does acne come from? The human body produces oil; this keeps the skin and hair healthy. But at times the body produces too much oil. Then the oil closes the holes round the hairs on the face. If the holes are closed, spots appear. This is called acne.The following information will help you to know some truths about acne.● Some of your friends will say:” If you have acne, you mustn’t eat foods like chocolate and fried potatoes.” Wrong! Acne is not caused by diet, so you can eat all your favourite foods.● “If I’ve got bad acne, I should wash my face more often.” Wrong! Was hing the face is not an answer. The problem lies under the skin, not above the skin.● “Luckily you can only get acne on your face.” Wrong! People can get acne on the face, neck, chest and back.So what can you do if you have acne? If you have bad acne,● don’t wear a tie; a tight collar(领子) around the neck usually makes the acne worse.● if it’s a sunny day, get out into the sun. Sunshine helps acne get better.● see a doctor. There’re many safe skin creams for acne.● if you have very bad acne, your doctor may give you pills to take. This makes your body produce less oil.And try not to worry. Most acne will be over in two years. If it helps, think of the Mexican hairless dog. It is the only animal that gets acne. And there are no doctors for Mexican hairless dogs!64. Is acne a very common skin disease?65. How long does acne usually last?66. What causes acne?67. Where can people get acne?68. What is the passage mainly about?2012 顺义一模When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.-----By Jack64. Is Jack a boy from a small village in the US?65. Do people like or dislike to be called “old” in Jack’s hometown?66. How did the couple feel when Jack called them “elderly”?67. Who introduced the reason patiently to Jack?68. What should we learn from Jack’s experience?2012 西城一模In November of 1995, Leslie was working for the Department of Social Services in North Carolina. Her job is to take children out of dangerous home situations and place them in foster homes (寄养家庭). During her first such task, Leslie saw that the children she had come to pick up were carrying all of their things in plastic bags. They didn’t have suitcases (手提箱) for their clothes. Wanting to help these children, Leslie asked her mother if she could have the family’s old suitcases to give to them.Leslie’s 10-year-old sister Abby asked how many foster children there were in the area and found out that there were 300. Most of those children had to carry their things from place to place in plastic bags. Leslie’s care and the thought of those300 children made young Abby take action. Abby decided to ask people to give away their old suitcases to these foster children. She began making and hanging posters, speaking at churches, and asking other children for help. But after a few weeks, she had not received any o nes. Abby decided to buy some suitcases with her mother’s help. That’s how Abby Burnside set up her program, Suitcases for Kids. By March of 1996, Suitcases for Kids had collected and sent 175 suitcases to the foster children.Finally, Abby’s efforts were noticed by the media. Her story was in newspapers and magazines and Abby appeared on popular television shows. As the story became known, Abby’s local chapter (分支机构) received more and more suitcases, until it collected 4,000 suitcases in 1996. Soon, Abby was traveling to different states to help set up new Suitcases for Kids chapters. By the end of 1996, there were Suitcases for Kids chapters in 19 different states. After two full years, Suitcases for Kids had set up chapters in all 50 states. By its sixth year, the little organization reached international attention, having chapters in more than ten countries. Now thousands of children around the world can carry their things in suitcases instead of plastic bags just because a 10-year-old girl decided one day that she just wanted to help.64. Was Leslie’s work to help the foster children?65. What did the children use to carry their things at first?66. Why did Abby decide to take action?67.

In fact, they sayby the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup (民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do no t know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.64. How many people were questioned to do the survey?65. What were the questions in the survey about?66. Who were happier according to the survey, people in their thirties or people in their sixties?67. Could having children affect the levels of people’s happiness?68.
