阅读理解。     Cold weather can hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their
cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside
for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
     Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you"re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. I you must leave them
outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and
plenty of non-frozen water.
     If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig
into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them
with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet"s water. Sometimes owners don"t realize that a
water bowl has frozen and their pet can"t get anything to drink. Animals that don"t have clean and
unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.1. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.
B. They are used to living outdoors.
C. They build their won shelter.
D. They like to stay in warm places.2. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. To know when to bring them inside.

阅读理解。     You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be
strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
     First, you must ask yourself, "Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or
from the side?" You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
     Let"s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the
same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度)
to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
     If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail
half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45 ° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch
the wind, but it shouldn"t flap (摆动). It shouldn"t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out
too far, and the boat will slow down.
     Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want
to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can"t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction
and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside
the boat.1. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors" strength.
B. Wave levels.
C. Wind directions.
D. Size of sails.2. What does the word "It" underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.
B. The wind.
C. The sail.
D. The angle.3. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.
B. Allow the sail to flap.
C. Lower the sail.
D. Tack the boat.4. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.
B. In a tourist guidebook.
C. In a physics textbook.
D. In an official report.

阅读理解。                                              Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
     Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation
born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down
because "everyone"s winter." And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before.
As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them "the overpraised generation."
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out
two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here"s how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic - you"re a born artist, point guard,
or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it"s sure to succeed without much effort and regards
failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it"s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from
future difficulties.
     On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and
learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn"t on the line as much, the growth mind-set
sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it"s quick to rethink, change and
try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.
     We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn"t be able to live in the world.) But
parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and
misdirecting praise. Dweck"s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional
program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make
sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.1. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don"t do well at school.
B. They are often misunderstood.
C. They are eager to win in sports.
D. They are given too much praise.2. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A. doesn"t want to work hard
B. cares a lot about personal safety
C. cannot share his ideas with others
D. can succeed with the help of teachers3. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.
B. Talent comes with one"s birth.
C. Scores should be highly valued.
D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.4. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck"s study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.
B. Prevent them from making mistakes.
C. Guide them in doing little things.
D. Help them grow with praise.

阅读理解。     In a recent announcement, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)said that they
have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide.
    Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online
through a new $60 million program, known as edX. "Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses," Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the
plan.

She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source
edX platform.
     "Fasten your seatbelts," Hockfield said.
     Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with
teaching to a global population online.
     The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit (非盈利的) organization based in
Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30
million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and

     Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television
companies.
    Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general
public, and  then they have sold audiences to advertisers.
    An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on
Saturday and Sunday afternoons-the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising
time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.
      Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising
dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising
departments of major corporations realize that sports attract made viewers. They also realize that most
business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars
and life insurance.

However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from  the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and
business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling
high-priced cars. business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks  
continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings.
     Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of "company cars" and computer, with such viewers, these programs don"t
need high ratings to stay on the air.
