阅读理解     On the first day of my new high school,I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the
school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, "You"re nervous and that"s okay.
Everyone is afraid of high school." I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know
about my fear,even my closest friends.
     On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle
that I couldn"t figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn"t think I could rise to this
challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock
someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.
     Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of
falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at,high school was turning out to be
not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.
Since then,I"ve been elected vice monitor of my class,which wasn"t much of a victory since only three
people ran for the four positions.
     It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is
something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some outofclass activities
because you"ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn"t straight A"s.
     Most important of all, be who you are, whether you"re a "fool", an athlete, or a lower grader. Don"t
try to pretend to be someone you"re not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.1. The main reason for the author"s fear on his first day is that ________.A. he was unable to work out the puzzle
B. his schoolmates were unfriendly to him
C. he was not familiar with the new surroundings
D. his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry2. From the author"s first day experience we can infer that ____.A. his home was far from the school
B. he got to school after classes began
C. he didn"t get any school schedule
D. he didn"t know the right way to class3. After his first week at school,the author ________.A. was still not accustomed to the schedule
B. gradually adjusted himself to the new school
C. found high school not so challenging as he had imagined
D. ran for monitor of his class against three other students4. According to the passage,the secret of the author"s success lies mainly in ________.A. making more friends
B. getting more A"s at school
C. being who he really is
D. joining in outofclass activities

举一反三
     Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for
granted, we often don"t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number
of people, __1__
     Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term "friendship". In all cases, two
people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between
them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.
     At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to
know people, __2__Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to
have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
     Then, __3__Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than
ordinary friends. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the
wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial
expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as
unfriendliness.
     Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have
the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become,
the more they depend on each other. And __4__ Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for
each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion.
     In contrast with marriage, __5__But the support and understanding that results from shared
experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship.

A. we are usually friends with only a few.
B. many factors can affect friendship and relationship.
C. people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down.
D. argument and discussion can improve personal relationships.
E. we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, etc.
F. we pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks.
G. there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people.

     Pushing children too hard is a really big social problem that seems to be getting worse. Now we
have 6montholds in music classes and swimming classes. Parents fear that if other children are attending
these classes, they will be holding their own children back if they do not enroll, too.
     The other extreme, simply taking a_laissezfaire_approach and letting children do-or refuse to
do-whatever they want, is not the answer either, of course.
     Dr. Taylor emphasizes that parents need to push their children based on what is best for children, not
what is best for themselves. If children understand that an activity is in their best interests,then they will
accept it, he finds.
     Dr. Taylor and other family experts remain pessimistic about the possibilities for widespread social
change. "The force of our popular culture, driven by money and superficial(表面上的)values, cannot
be resisted," he says. But change can take place at a "microlevel", in families and schools.
     When change does occur, the rewards can benefit everyone in the family. One mother supporting this
new approach toward parenting mentions the advantages her family experienced after her children cut
back on activities. "The biggest thing is that since we have done this, we are rested," she says. "Not only
are our kids rested, because they"re not in a ton of stuff, but my husband and I are rested, because we"re
not driving them everywhere. We weren"t living in the moment when we were always busy. We were
living by the schedule. The return on our investment of spending time together has been enormous."1. One of the reasons why parents push children so hard is that they ________.A. believe in early development in children
B. are too busy to take care of their children
C. don"t want their children to lag behind
D. want to repeat what their parents did to them2. The phrase "a laissezfaire approach" (in Paragraph 2)most probably refers to ________.A. denying them what they need
B. controlling children in a flexible way
C. developing a keen interest in children
D. letting children do whatever they want3. The best way to encourage children to work hard is ________.A. to make them believe it"s in their best interests
B. to consider the matter from parents" standpoint
C. to emphasize the importance of hard work from time to time
D. to make it interesting and enjoyable to them4. What the author doesn"t approve of in the essay is ________.A. achieving a balance between pushing children too hard and leaving them alone
B. going from one extreme of pushing children too hard to the other of leaving them alone
C. involving children in activities that will probably contribute to their development
D. enrolling them in classes that are best for children5. The new approach toward parenting mentioned in the passage most likely refers to ________.A. relieving children"s hard work and unnecessary activities
B. resisting the superficial values of pop culture
C. reducing more activities off their school schedule
D. spending more time with their children

阅读理解。      While most high school students spend most of their time worrying about who likes who,
and different relationships between their classmates,I choose to focus on my school lessons
and sports.
     When I was young,my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys
in order to build strong relationships.But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy
with the title of boyfriend.It"s indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite
sex.In my opinion,even though some high school relationships might continue after graduation,
the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.
      Firstly you have to think about such a question-whetherit is possible to hurt both of you,
or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives.My second point is that you still can date if
you hope marriage could possibly follow.Except this,there really is not any other reason for
dating.Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic.While these are nice to
have,there are many more important things at this point in our lives.
      The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high
school students.Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us.I strongly
recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers" advice
if necessary.1.The author writes this passage probably for________to read.A.high school students
B.school teachers
C.parents and teachers
D.married couples2.Between sexes,the relationship of being good friends might be__________than that of
being boy/girl-friends.A.weaker  
B.safer
C.slimmer  
D.stronger3.How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?A.Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic.
B.Studying is far more important than dating in school.
C.In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage.
D.Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family.4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph might refer to__________.A.the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at school

     It is a hot summer day, and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade. How do
you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe
you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings, and
sometimes one causes the other, but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five
senses while happiness is independent of them.
     When you are happy, little unpleasant events usually do not disturb you. When you are unhappy, you
feel as if everything is against you. You may compensate_for it by eating chocolate and sweets because
this gives you pleasure, yet you stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him
pleasure, yet this does not make him happier, especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his
health.
     The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created,
changed, transformed and then destroyed. This is the normal state of things and no one can change it.
If we stay still in a certain state, we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other
hand, if we adjust to the environment, nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing
to do with our inner joy of mind.
     The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied, and then you will see what is happening and experience it. When your mind stays quiet, you will see that happiness comes from the inside.1. What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. to make a suitable payment for
B. to let out your anger for
C. to provide with a balancing effect for
D. to solve the problems for2. According to the passage,in which of the following situations can you feel happy?A. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade when you feel thirsty.
B. You eat chocolate and sweets when you feel as if everything is against you.
C. Smoke cigarettes even though you know the fact that it is not good for your health.
D. You are free from worry or fear when your mind stays quiet.3 We can learn from the passage ________.A. happiness is more dependent on the five senses
B. pleasure sometimes arouses happiness
C. you feel happy when nothing around you changes in a certain state
D. you feel unhappy because you have to adjust to the environment4. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Pleasure Leads to Happiness
B. Happiness Changes Us
C. Happiness Is Within Us
D. Stay a Quiet Mind
