and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during the low time that words of
encouragement from family, friends, coworkers or even strangers can boost your spirits. It is also during
the low time that destructive words can be devastating (毁灭性的) and make you sink deeper and deeper into depression.
For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when
two of them fell into a deep pit (深坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them
to stop. Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at
him to tell him to give up. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were
encouraging him the whole time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do
choose the chance to say something positive! Don"t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to
someone else.
B. Because he could hardly hear what the other frogs said.
C. Because he didn"t want to give up his hope.
D. Because he had a positive attitude toward life
B. persistence is bound to victory
C. miracles sometimes happen by accident
D. success must belong to us if we keep on working
B. Life depends on encouragement.
C. Destructive words will lead to death.
D. Words are playing an important role around us.
B. positive words
C. negative words
D. the opportunities to say something.
B. The frog that died finally ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit at first.
C. The two unfortunate frogs would never get out because they are both deaf.
D. The author advised us to choose the chance to say something positive

举一反三
of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body
image.
Body image is a person"s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.
1 You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
2 Here are some ideas.
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body
do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.
That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have
nonsports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 3
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look well and feel good about yourself. Good physiques
(体形) don"t just happen. __4 _ A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour
three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits-regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and
skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on-can help you build a positive body image.
__5 _ Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy a quick wit (智慧), and
all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you"re good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that selfimage and body image can be changed.
G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?
many people said yes to it. Today much of that is changing. The first computer system was introduced
for use in business in the mid-1950s. Since then, the number of computer systems used in business,
government offices, and institutions has grown rapidly. In 1975, about 250,000 systems were in use
in the United States. This figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.
The computer is an important factor in our lives. Each year we use computer more and more to
help us to collect data and to provide us with information. At one time people thought computers were
only useful to banks, department stores and governments. But today the rapidly increasing numbers of
computers are used for many other purposes. Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected
(影响) by a computer? The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer. The
newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer. Even radio programmes are
often prepared by computers.
Computers today are playing important roles in education, transportation and medicine. They are
used to predict the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop defense systems. They are being
used by businesses, governments and institutions. There is no doubt that their uses will become a greater
part of our lives.
The influence (影响) of the computer is great. The list of its uses could go on and on. Computers
now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.
B. no use at all
C. not understood by many people
D. liked by people
B. have known it clearly
C. don"t want to know about it
D. don"t like it
B. likes computers
C. thinks computers have developed rapidly
D. thinks we can"t live without computers
without knowing why? Going from sadness to anger to joy in a matter of minutes can make many
teens feel as though they"re losing their control. But why is the feeling of being on an emotional roller
coaster (急转突变) so common among teens?
Dealing with constant change and pressure is part of the answer. Maybe you"re starting a new
school and not able to see old friends as much. Getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports
or other activities can be a concern for many teens. It might feel as though there just isn"t enough time
to do everything.
Being a teen means struggling with identity and selfimage. Being accepted by friends feels
extremely important. Teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and
family. You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also
seem overwhelming (压倒的) and even a bit lonely at times. As fun and exciting as this time is, it also
can be a time of confusion and conflict.
Another important cause for mood swings is biology. When puberty (青春期) begins, the body
starts producing sex hormones. These hormones cause physical changes in the body. But in some
people, they also seem to cause emotional changes-the ups and downs that sometimes feel out of
control.
Feeling irritable or shorttempered can be signs of depression. So can feelings of boredom or
hopelessness. Many people think of depression as feeling sad, but depression can also bring feelings
of moodiness, impatience, anger. When depression gets in the way of enjoying life or dealing with
others, that"s a sign you need to do something about it, like talking to a counselor or therapist (治疗
专家) who can help you deal with it.
Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to handle: recognize
you"re not alone, catch your breath, count to 10, talk to people you trust, exercise, cry or wait.
B. reasonable
C. predictable
D. natural
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
B. What the result of depression is.
C. Bad mood can cause bad effects.
D. It"s important to be dependent.
B. Angry.
C. Unhappy.
D. Impatient.
food, toys, and many other things.
2 For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European
countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the
French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then
the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the
largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company.
3
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their
homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time,
other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. 4 Many Europeans usually worry about the
quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be
sure about the quality of the things on TV.
5 They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to
work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
A. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe.
B. They call teleshopping "Junk on the air".
C. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
D. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
E. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from
the American companies.
F. Teleshopping is popular among people.
G. German teleshopping business is controlled by America.
A Native American and his friend were in downtown New York City, walking near Times Square
in Manhattan. It was during the lunch hour and the _1_ were filled with people. Cars were honking,
taxis were 2 around corners, sirens (汽笛)were howling, and the sounds of the city were almost
3 . Suddenly, the Native American said,"I hear a cricket."
His friend said,"What? You must be 4 . You couldn"t possibly hear a cricket in all of this 5 !"
"No, I"m sure of it," the Native American said,"I heard a 6 ."
"That"s crazy," said the friend. The Native American listened 7 for a moment, and then walked
across the street to a big cement plant where some bushes were 8 . He looked into the bushes,
beneath the branches, and sure enough, he 9 a small cricket. His friend was utterly 10 .
"That"s incredible(不可思议)," said his friend."You must have superhuman ears."
"No," said the Native American."My 11 are not different from yours. It all depends on what you"re
listening for."
"But that can"t be," said the friend."I could never 12 a cricket in this noise."
"You, it"s 13 ,"came the reply."It depends on what is really 14 to you.Here, let me show you."
He 15 into his pocket, pulled out a few coins, and discreetly 16 them on the sidewalk.
And then, even with the noise of the 17 street still blaring in their ears, they noticed every head
within twenty feet 18 and look to see if the money that tinkled on the 19 was theirs.
"See what I 20 ?" asked the Native American."It all depends on what"s important to you."
