When she came back, she wrote an article about the impression of Britain for the school newspaper. The following are parts of her article:Personal SpaceBritish people like a lot of space around them. They don't like to make physical contact of any kind with strangers and feel very uncomfortable if anyone stands too close to them. One example of the British 'keep their distance' is that people do not often shake hands with one another at all.Making Polite RequestIn making polite requests, British people like to use very indirect language, using the conditional tense and negatives. Amita, an Indian student said: 'British people never got to the point. They go around this way and that way, using twentywords where three would do. It's really hard to communicate with them. David, British High School Official gave his comment: 'Some nationalities do not always seem very polite; 'I want this' or 'I want that', no smiles nor a please nor a thank you'. SmilingSome students say that British people smile a lot, compared to many national groups - often for no particular reason. The British smile as a greeting, smile when asking for something, smile on receiving it.King, a Korean student once said: 'The British are so insincere(不诚恳的). They smile even when they are not happy or pleased to see you. One girl smiled at me every time we passed each other and I thought she really liked me. So I asked her to come out with me and she refused She was leading me on and then turned me down.' Well, she maybe did not realize that she was smiling and probably smiled at everyone. But it is easy to see how this could be misinterpreted by someone in whose culture smiles are used only to express genuine warmth.But still many students comment that they do not find British people in shops, banks, at reception desks smile enough to make them feel welcome.69. British people need a lot of space around them, so they __________.A) make physical contact with othersB) stand close to other peopleC) don't often shake hands with othersD) don't like strangers70. To make polite request, British People __________.A) say directly what they needB) say indirectly what they needC) use less words than necessaryD) use very polite words71. According to David, __________.A) British people are not polite enoughB) people from other countries are not polite enoughC) it is important to use 'please' and 'thank you'D) people from other countries always smile72. King thought British people are not sincere because they __________.A) smile to show refuseB) smile even are not happyC) smile to show politenessD) smile at everyone73. The underlined word "misinterpreted" in this passage probably meansA) understood correctlyB) understood wronglyC) expressed easilyD) expressed difficultly74. The best title for Linxi's article may beA) Watch The EnglishB) Always Be PoliteC) Students From Different CountriesD) Polite British PeopleBWhat makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don't yet account for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, don't. _____75_____, computers don't even have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer _____76_____ is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a "purpose".Of course, people have several goals that do not make ______77____ to attribute to computers1. One might read a restaurant guide in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to _____78_____ a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.However, these physiological and social goals give rise to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A. goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find information about the name of a restaurant which ______79____ the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is, the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to get information or knowledge, what we are calling____80______ goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer might "want" to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the case of the computer2, it might well arise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.75.A. However B. In addition C. In fact D. Instead of76.A) program B) instruction C) system D) function77.A) success B) sense C) scene D) point78.A) find B) go C) look D) watch79.A) orders B) sells C) supports D) serves80.A) understanding B) learning C) knowledge D) awarenessC．Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

He didn’t look safe.He said, “I am here to help you , ma’ma. Why don’t you wait in the car where it is warm? BY the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”Well, all she had was a flat tire （爆胎）,but for an lady ,that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for the jack and changed the tire. But he had to get dirty, and his hands hurt. As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She was grateful for his help.Bryan just smiled as he finished the work. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened if he had not stopped. Bryan never thought about being paid. This was not a good job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give the person the assistance he or she needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”He waited until she started her car and drove off.

Choose the best answer. (12)Linxi had taken part in a 6-month international student exchange scheme to Britain. When she came back, she wrote an article about the impression of Britain for the school newspaper. The following are parts of her article：Personal SpaceBritish people like a lot of space around them. They don’t like to make physical contact of any kind with strangers and feel very uncomfortable if anyone stands too close to them. One example of the British ‘keep their distance’ is that people do not often shake hands with one another at all.Making Polite RequestIn making polite requests, British people like to use very indirect language, using the conditional tense and negatives. Amita, an Indian student said: ‘British people never got to the point. They go around this way and that way, using twenty words where three would do. It's really hard to communicate with them.’ (David! British High School Official gave his comment: ‘Some nationalities do not always seem very polite; ‘I want this’ or ‘I want that’, no smiles nor a please nor a thank you.’SmilingSome students say that British people smile a lot, compared to many national groups--- often for no particular reason. The British smile as a greeting, smile when asking for something, smile on receiving it.King, a Korean student once said: ‘The British are so insincere. They smile even when they are not happy or pleased to see you. One girl smiled at me every time we passed each other and I thought she really liked me. So I asked her to come out with me and she refused. She was leading me on and then turned me down.’ Well, she maybe did not realize that she was smiling and probably smiled at everyone. But it is easy to see how this could be misinterpreted by someone in whose culture smiles are only to express genuine warmth.But still many students comment that they do not find British people in shops, banks, at reception desks smile enough to make them feel welcome.69.British people need a lot of space around them, so they ________.A) make physical contact with others B) stand close to other peopleC) don’t often shake hands with others.D) don’t like strangers70.To make polite request, British People________.A) say directly what they need B) say indirectly what they needC) use less words than necessary D) use very polite words71.According to David,________.A) British people are not polite enough B) British don't like people of other nationalitiesC) it is important to use please "and 'thank you' D) people from other countries always smile72.King thought British people are not sincere because they________.A) smile to show refuse B) smile at people they are not pleased to seeC) smile to show politeness D) smile at everyone73.The underlined word "misinterpreted" in this passage probably means ________.A) understood correctly B) understood wronglyC) expressed easily D) expressed difficultly74.The best title for Linxi's article may be________.A) The British in My Eyes B) Always Be PoliteC) Students From Different Counties D) Polite British PeopleB. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (12分)What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don’t yet account for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand don’t.75 , computers don’t even have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer 76 is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a “purpose”.Of course, people have several goals that do not make 77 to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to 78 a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.However, these physiological and social goals give rise to several intellectual or cognitive(认知)goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find information about the name of a restaurant which 79 the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is, the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to get information or knowledge, which we are calling 80 goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer might “want” to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the case of the computer, it might well arise out of the “goal” to learn more about restaurants.75.A. However B. In addition C. In fact D. Instead of76.A. program B. instruction C. system D. function77.A. success B. sense C. scene D. point78.A. find B. go C. look D. watch79.A. orders B. create C. supports D. serves80.A. understanding B. learning C. feeling D. awarenessC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.(14分)Number 1 is the simplest number, but has the most complex cultural meaning in Chinese culture. It has the meaning of the beginning, the origin, and the whole w81 was first suggested by Lao Zi, a well-known philosopher in ancient China in his classic text-TaoTe Ching. Meanwhile, this number was r82 as “the mother of all creatures” by some other Chinese philosophers in ancient times. Chinese people respect it for its meaning of the first and winner the s83 as in Western culture. It is easy to find how people love the word from Chinese ancient literature. There are over 260 phrases and more than 420 idioms b84 with this word in Chinese language system. In Chinese culture, it is n85 lucky nor unlucky. The combination with some other numbers has positive meanings, such as 1314. I86 pronunciation in Chinese sounds similar to lifetime or forever, which is widely used between lovers. Sometimes, I sounds similar to the word “You”. The common use of 5211314 in network language means “love you forever” 521 s87 means “I love you”, which is the most beautiful line to all.D.

Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened if he had not stopped. Bryan neverthought about being paid.

He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give the person the assistance he or she needed, and Bryan added, ""And think of me.He waited until she started her car and drove of It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed home disappearing into the twilight.88.Why did the old lady stand on the side of the road?(2’)_______________________________________________________________________89.The old got no help before she met Bryan, did she?(1’)_______________________________________________________________________90.What, wrong with the old lady's car?

(12 分)Why isn't a dollar worth as much as it used to be ？One dollar is always worth the same amount，that is, 100 cents But the value at a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities of life such as food, house, clothes and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it.No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing, but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so they demand more goods. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there’s a shortage of goods, the prices also go up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies keep gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up.Families need to know what happens to their money, They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people plan a family budget. A budget is a list of monthly expenses. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you're spending too much on entertainment. Or if you're spending too much on clothes, you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.69.

The value of the dollar will remain to be the same amount.C. the value or the dollar will increase greatly.D. None of the above will happen.71. Why does the cost of living keep increasing?A. Workers are always poorly paid.B. Producers offer more and more goods.C. People want to buy more and more goods.D. Government does less and less to stop it.72.Why do families need to know what happens to their money?A. To have a better lifeB. To make more moneyC. To avoid loss of money.D.

Reading comprehension (阅读理解):A.Choose the best answer.Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, scanning the distance for his next wave，when his board suddenly stopped moving. He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board. “I could have touched its eye with my elbow,” says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.In his horror and confusion，he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the shark's teeth. He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water. Then, with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers，the five-meter-long shark simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.Although sharks are often categorized as killers that hunt and eat as many humans as they can, this is factually inaccurate. Sharks very rarely kill humans. A person has a greater chance of being struck by lightning or drowning in a bath than of being killed by a shark. Only 74 people have been reported killed by great whites in the last century. But great white sharks can reach six meters in length and weigh 2,200 kilograms or more. With frightening jaws that can hold up to 3,000 teeth arranged in several rows，they could very easily kill and eat a helpless human in the water. Why is it, then, that most people survive attacks by great whites? Shark researchers are trying to comprehend the reasons that allow people to escape without being eaten.The most common explanation is that great whites don't see well. It has been thought that they mistake people for the seals or sea lions which make up a large part of their diet. There is reason to doubt this，however. Recent information shows that great whites can actually see very well. Also，when attacking seals, great whites shoot up to the surface and bite with great force. When approaching humans, however, they mostoften move in slowly and bite less hard. They soon discover that humans are not a high ―fat meal. “They spit us out because we're too bony,” says Aidan Martin，director of Reef Quest Center for Shark Research.Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things. It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat, but also to gather information. Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers, when sharks bite surfboards or other objects or people，they are likely just trying to learn what they are.69.After Craig Rogers fell into the water, the shark_________.A) bit his surfboard B) bit his fingersC) swam awayD) attacked him70. It is difficult for the author to understand why great whites_________.A) often let humans escapeB) kill humansC) have so many teeth D) grow to six meters or more71. Which of the following is closest in meaning to make up in line 2 of paragraph 4?A) create.B) areC) increaseD) depend upon.72. In the last century,_________people have been reported killed by great whites.A. about 2200B. not more than 80C. at least 3000D. only73. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A) Great whites eat low-fat, bony meals more slowly.B) Great whites see well enough to include seals, sea lions, and humans in their diet.C) We now know great whites don't mistake humans for other animals.D) There is reason to doubt that great whites see well enough to attack humans.74.According to the passage, we can learn__________.A. Sharks are really terrible killers to the human beings.B. Most people who are attacked by sharks can escape from the sharks monthsC. When the sharks come approach humans, they don’t move quickly but bite harder.D.It is true that sharks bite just for killing and eating.B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.What makes people different from computer programs？What is the missing element that our theories don't yet account for？The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories fora reason to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, don't. In fact, computers don't __75___, have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer___76___is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a "purpose".Of course, people have several goals that do not make __77__to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to __78___a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.However, these physiological and social goals give rise to several intellectual or cognitive(认识的) goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find information about the name of a restaurant which __79__the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is, the type of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to find information or knowledge, what we are calling ___80___goals. These goals can be held by computers too a computer might "want" to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the case of the computer, it might well rise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.75.A. However B. In addition C. In fact D. Instead of76.A. program B. instruction C. system D. function77.A. success B. sense C.scene D. point78.A. find B. go C. look D. watch79.A. orders B. create C. supports D. serves80.A. understanding B. learning C. feeling D. awarenessC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems, i_______ serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to people to change their habits and leave their cars at home.One possible is to make it more e________ for people to use their cars by increasing charges for parking and in tougher fines for anyone who b______the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day. This system, known as "road pricing", is already being introduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car.A_______ way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts (郊区）of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for the final stage of their j______.Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to u_______ the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an acceptable level.D. Answer the question.He almost didn’t see the old lady stand on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he stopped his car and got out, walked towards her.Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe.He said, “I am here to help you, ma’am.Why don’t you wait in the car where it is warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawl ed under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or tw o. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was just passing through. She coul dn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. An y amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful thing s that could have happened, had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about bein g paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were many people who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan ad ded, “And think of me.”He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing da y, but he felt good as he headed home, disappearing into the twilight.88.Why did the old lady stand on the side of the road?89.The old got no help before she met Bryan, did she?90.What’s wrong with the old lady’s car?91.How did Bryan help the old lady with the car?92.Why didn’t Bryan ask the old lady to pay for what he had done for her?93.If you meet a stranger who is in trouble, will you help him/her? why?

This may s eem strange to you. because nearly 70% of the earth’s surface（表面）is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only use the other 3%—the fresh water from rivers, lakes, and other sources. And we can’t even use all of tha t, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, the fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly—almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting ourvaluablewater, one of the first step is to develop ways of reusing it.

Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.Even so, he enjoyed it so much that he worked day after day to improve. Despite his efforts, they would always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.The young man wasn’t going to give up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time makin g just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasn’t making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, “I can’t find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect”. And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and happy.It is well-known that perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man — whose name was Geppetto — more joy than any other famous puppet-maker had ever got from any of their creations.1．Why did the young man want to learn to make puppets according to Paragraph One?A．Because he liked it.B．Because everyone thought he was talented.C．Because his teacher told him to do so.D．Because he was not clever, he had to make a living2．What was the ending of the poor puppets made by the young man?A．They were kept by the young man.B．They were thrown by the young man.C．They were shared by others.D．They were collected by his teacher.3．What can we learn about Geppetto from the third paragraph?A．He was laughed at by the others.B．He could only make one kind of puppet.C．He had collected all the puppets he made.D．He made a lot of money by selling puppets.4．When the puppet, Pinocchio, was made, ________.① Geppetto was already an old man② Geppetto was satisfied with it③ Geppetto was much happier④ Geppetto planned to throw it awayA．①②③B．①②④C．①③④D．②③④5．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Many hands make light work.B．No one can do two things at once.C．A good beginning makes a good ending.D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.C15、Hollywood child star Shirley Temple died on Monday Feb 10th2014, at home in Woodside, California, from natural causes.

It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat. But they did not know how it should be used. Finally they boiled(煮沸) the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon(咸肉) for dinner, ate the leaves, and threw the tea soup away. However, tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale(麦芽酒) as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition.Before the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals — breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, big meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788—1861) experienced a ＂sinking feeling＂in the late afternoon. So she invited friends to join her for an extra afternoon meal at five o’clock in her castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for ＂tea and a walking the fields＂.The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common form of service soon came into practice. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine china from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second bottle (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small fire. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.1．The story of the old couple in Paragraph 1 is to show ____________.A．how impolite the old couple wereB．how English people cooked teaC．how difficult it was to introduce tea to EnglandD．how little English people knew about tea in those days2．The underlined phrase ＂sinking feeling＂in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of _________.A．hunger B．loneliness C．thirst D．anger3．Which statement is right according to the passage?A．Tea was first introduced to England in the 16th century.B．Ale was the national drink of England after King Charles II.C．The habit of drinking tea in Britain came from the upper class.D．Anna, the Duchess of Bedford first served afternoon tea in London.4．We can know from the passage that afternoon tea ____________.A．helps raise the price of tea and china in EnglandB．leads to the wide planting and large production of tea in EnglandC．is not only an extra afternoon meal but helps bring people togetherD．helps bring King Charles II and his wife together in their childhoodE17、Have you ever wanted to travel back in time?

Reading comprehension (阅读理解):A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）: ( 7分) Linxi had taken part in a 6-month international student exchange scheme toBritain. When she came back, she wrote an article about the impression of Britainfor the school newspaper. The following are parts of her article:Personal SpaceBritish people like a lot of space around them. They don t like to makephysical contact of any kind with strangers and feel very uncomfortable if anyone stands too close to them. One example of the British keep their distance is that people do not often shake hands with one another at all.Making Polite RequestIn making polite requests, British people like to use very indirect language, using the conditional tense and negatives. Amita, an Indian studen t said: ‘British people never got to the point. They go around this way and that way, using twenty words where three would do. It’s really hard tocommunicate with them.’ David, British High School Official gave his comment: ‘Some nationalities do not alway s seem very polite; ‘I want this’ or ‘I want that’, no smiles nor a please nor a thank you’.SmilingSome students say that British people smile a lot, compared to many national groups – often for no particular reason. The British smile as a greeting, smile when asking for something, smile on receiving it. King, a Korean student once said: ‘The British are so insincere(不诚恳的). They smile even when they are not happy or pleased to see you. One girl smiled at me every time we passed each other and I thought she really liked me. So I asked her to come out with me and she refused. She was leading me on and then turned me down.’ Well, she maybe did not realize that she was smiling and probably smiled at everyone. But it is easy to see how this could be misinterpreted by someone in whose culture smiles are used only to express genuine warmth.But still many students comment that they do not find British people in shops, banks, at reception desks smile enough to make them feel welcome.69. British people need a lot of space around them, so they____________.A) make physical contact with others B) stand close to other peopleC) don t often shake hands with others D) don t like strangers70.

He tried to grow a rose of a new c_______ to win the silver cup (银杯) for the Rose of the Year. Mr. Flowers' glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boysof around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or t_______at one of Mr. Flowers' glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers didhis best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and endof the school day.But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times.Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to p_______his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had tried to driveaway the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. Hehad e_______ picked up all the stones that he could find aroundhis garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice (布告) made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had w_____ the words: DO NOT THROW STONES ATTHIS NOTICE.

Read and answer the question.(12)Everyone knows about physical health, but how much do you know about metal health? Although it’s harder to see, it can be just as important.Oct.10 was World Mental Health Day. The theme for this year is “Depression,a global crisis”. It reminds us that we should pay more attention to our mental health, particularly that of young people.A hospital in Harbin did a report on the day, they did research on the mental health situation of 2,151 middle school students. The result showed that about 49 percent of them have some mental issues. The main reasons for these issues are the stress from tests and dealing with relations with teachers, classmates and parents.A person’s home environment has a lot to do with the issues, especially as parents and relatives put more pressure on children. Pressure also comes largely from competition among classmates, the report said.Many cities have done similar surveys. Experts found that the mental health issues among young people are becoming more and more serious all over the country. According to Qi Yuanli, a doctor at the People’s Hospital in Guangdong, because teenagers are in a key period of development both physically and mentally, they are easily influenced by others.In fact, everyone in modern society experiences a different level of pressure. The key is how to deal with it. Experts suggest that people should stay optimistic and develop more hobbies. “Students should talk more to friends instead of staying alone, and work harder for their dream instead of dreaming alone,” said Luo Jingbin, a professor in Zhaoqing, Guangdong.88.How often is world mental health day held?89.What was the result of the research on the mental health of 2151 students?90.Which is more important to teenagers, physical health or mental health?91.Home environment has nothing to do with a person’s mental, does it?92.What do experts suggest people do to deal with pressure?93.How do you deal with pressure in your life?Writing (作文): (共20分)Write a report for the school newspaper in at least 60 words according to the given situation.（根据所给情景为校报写一篇不少于60词的报道。
