 Darla and Erin were called to the teacher’s office for breaking the glass apple on Mrs. Thimble’s desk. They sat opposite Mr. Barlow and they looked quite nervous.

 “Would either of you like to explain what happened?” Mr. Barlow asked.

Darla took a deep breath, “I was looking at Mrs. Thimble’s glass apple. The sun was shining on it, and it made a rainbow on the desk. I thought the rainbow would get bigger if we moved the apple.”

 “So you moved it?” Mr. Barlow asked.

 Darla pointed at Erin. “She did it, but the rainbow got smaller. I tried to get the apple back, but it fell on the floor and broke. “

 “Thank you, Darla. Erin, tell me what happened in your own words,” Mr. Barlow said.

 “Darla said she wanted to make the rainbow bigger, so I told her how my sister used a sun catcher to make a rainbow on the ceiling. I tried to show her that, but she said the rainbow was getting smaller and she could do it better. She tried to take it, and the apple fell on the floor. It was her fault(过错).”

 “It was not!” Darla cried angrily.

 Mr. Barlow stood up. “Do you want to know what I think?”

 “Yes!” They said.

 “I think Darla wanted to make the rainbow bigger and Erin tried to help. “

 “Exactly!” Erin said.

 “Not so fast,” Mr. Barlow said. “Erin, you thought you could make the rainbow better, but Darla didn’t want to. You two argued, and the apple fell and broke. Does that sound right?”

 “So, we’re both to blame(负有责任), “Darla said.

 “Yes. The real blame isn’t in who broke the apple,” Mr. Barlow said. “It was in the fact that you both touched something that didn’t belong to you.

 “I guess we did,” Erin said.

 “We should say sorry to Mrs. Thimble,” Darla added.

 “I think you both learned a valuable lesson,” Mrs. Thimble said, smiling in the doorway.

 It’s something we know naturally: flowers make people happy. That’s why we give them as gifts to others when they need cheering or buy some for our homes when we want to bring a little life and joy. But is this just a matter of tradition or is there really something special about flowers that makes people lift spirits?

 The truth is that the idea that flowers have a noteworthy ability to make people happy isn’t just an unplanned observation(观察),it’s actually a judgment supported by science.

 A behavioral study conducted at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. 122 men and women were given either a flower or other things. Those who got flowers smiled more and talked more. Researchers found that flowers can immediately influence people’s happiness, making them smile and express joy when they receive them.

 However, this effect isn’t disappearing. In the long-term, participants (参与者) of the study reported feeling less stressed and anxious after receiving flowers, and expressed a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction. Most interestingly, these positive effects don’t stop at just them; they also reach their friends and families. In the study, the presence of flowers led to increased relation with family and friends.

 We can see that the positive effects of having flowers around the house are measurable(明显的),but can we understand why it is that flowers are so good at making us happy? Dr. Jeannette, a Professor of Psychology at Rutgers, says, “Flowers can make the space more welcoming and create a sharing environment. “Indeed, being able to help people connect with one another could be a possible explanation for flowers’ powerful influence, as close relationships have been shown to be the biggest factor (因素) that keeps people happy. The Rutgers researchers thought that the happy-making effects of flowers could come down to the sensory stimuli (刺激 )they provide, like pleasant smells and beautiful colors, or their common meanings, having long been seen as a symbol of positive things like love, friendship, and caring.

 In any event, for whatever reason it may be the case, there’s no doubt that flowers just light up something inside of us that makes us feel happy and alive.

27. Flowers can be gifts for others who need cheering because ______

A. sending flowers is a kind of tradition

B. flowers are more special than other gifts

C. receiving flowers helps make a judgement

D. flowers are able to bring people happiness

28. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Happy emotions caused by flowers will go away soon.

B. A room with flowers around may make people share more.

C. Women were influenced more than men when they got flowers.

D. The presence of flowers has no effect on improving family relations.

29. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us?

A. How flowers have positive effects on people.

B. What the positive effects of flowers exactly are.

C. How people’s understanding of flowers developed.

D. What the key factors of building close relationships are.

D

 Playing is a key part of the learning process for almost all of the children. There are different ways in which children play, but one of the most important is role-playing. This involves a child taking part in an activity during which he or she pretends(装扮)to be another person.

 Experts on child development believe that role-playing can increase the connections in children’s brains that help them learn. Language skills are some of the most important aspects of learning. When children role-play, they must work out steps that need to be taken to complete a task, and create plans to act out a story. These activities enable children to develop their spoken language skills. They become able to organize others and to give directions.

 Children’s social skills can also be developed. Children have different roles in group activities. Some are leaders while others are followers. At times, the children will disagree, so they must learn to compromise with one another. That is to say, they need to accept something slightly different from what they really want so that both sides are happy at the end. Children further learn about cooperation and sharing and, hopefully, begin to understand things from another person’s point of view.

 Besides helping children learn some kinds of skills, role-playing develops children’s imaginations and can therefore assume (呈现)a number of forms. For example, boys may pretend to shave like their fathers or perform several different tasks around their homes. Girls, meanwhile, often pretend to be mothers to do some daily tasks, particularly if it involves caring for young babies. Sometimes children may imagine belonging to a group of superheroes or copy real-life situations. They might dress up and assume different roles. Another example is the performing of stories they read in books, which is also very common when they role-play.

 Another beneficial aspect of role-playing is that it can help children deal with certain actions that may cause them emotional pain, such as the fear they face when going to school for the first time or making a visit to the doctor. If children role-play situations like these beforehand, the fear that they experience when doing these actions in reality frequently becomes less. For this reason, experts encourage parents to allow their children to role-play and even to take part in these activities to help their children manage to control their fears.

 Role-playing can benefit children in many ways. There is no activity for which young children are better prepared than imaginable play. Nothing is more dependable and risk-free, and the dangers are only pretended.

30. According to the passage, children when role-playing.

A. receive benefits from their emotional pain

B. follow teacher’s steps and plan to finish a task

C. prefer performing superheroes to their parents

D. act out what happens in daily life or book stories

31. The word “compromise” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ _______”.

A. give up something to reach an agreement

B. express opinions clearly to win an argument

C. apologize to someone to start a conversation

D. communicate effectively to make a connection

32. The writer probably agrees that

A. it is hard to develop imaginations if children act out real-life situations

B. parents can role-play with their children to help them deal with fears

C. children are encouraged to support others’ views in group activities

D. it is dangerous for children to act out in an imaginable play

33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Is Role-Playing Risk-free?

B. Is Role-Playing Leaders’ Game?

C. Role-Playing in Child Development

D. Role-Playing in Family Communication

17-Year-Old Is Youngest to Fly Around the World

 On August 24,17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria, completing a five-month effort to fly around the world. He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone.

 Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his birthday during his trip around the world.

 He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank(油箱),which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground.

 Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all, covered 33,630 miles.

 Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission(批准)to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan.

 Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks.

 He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land -just as it was getting dark -on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air.

In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. 

 Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year.

 Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said.

34. When did Mack land his microlight plane in Bulgaria?

35. How did Mack keep in touch with people on the ground?

36. Which part of the trip was the most difficult for Mack?

37. Do you think Mack is a role model for young people? Why or why not?(State at least two reasons)

Dear Chris,

I’m glad to tell you about the volunteer work I did. Last summer, I got an opportunity to volunteer at a Children’s Home in the community. My main duty was to take care of children aged five to seven years old. They were very friendly. They showed me big smiles when they saw a bag of gifts I brought for them. I did lots of things with them. I read stories, sang songs, and taught them something I was good at. It was a wonderful day. I was happy to be able to do something for little kids.

Yours,

题目②

Teamwork is important for teenagers. Last term, Liz, Anne and I entered a science competition. Our task was to create a poster board with information about spaceships. After discussion, each of us got a job. Liz and Anne went to the library to look for more information about spaceships. I searched for the pictures we needed on the internet. The next day, we organized the information and decided what we wanted to put on the board. After that, we spent three days making the poster board. Finally, we won second prize. When working as a team, I learned how to work well with my partners. I listened to them carefully and I respectfully and confidently expressed my ideas. My communication skills have improved a lot.
