Long ago, a white elephant was         to the king. Only the king could have a white elephant. And the white elephant must be a very good one. People wanted to take a look at the animal. On its way to the king, the white elephant attracted (吸引) many people. They ran into the street and shouted, “A white elephant is coming!”
All the people liked the cute elephant. Some gave it        to drink. Others sang songs to the elephant. A boy put a red hat on the elephant’s head.

We are living a fast life. It seems that everything has to be fast, for example,          food, fast Internet, fast roads, fast money. Every day we try to get things done          , but there are some moments that we have to slow down and enjoy our lives.
We are always           every day. I have to work eight hours or more a day at my full-time job. When I get home, it’s always over seven o’clock. I make an effort（努力） to          something. I try to find a bit of time for my hobby—writing. I hardly ever write and work         weekends. Those are my days to try to recharge （休整）and reduce the stress from my work. I sleep on the sofa during the day,           some beer in the open air or go out for a picnic if the weather is nice.
What I’m trying to say is this: if you don’t take some time to slow down once in a while（偶尔） and         your life, it will pass you by. You can be unhealthy both in body and mind if you don’t take the time to relax. So this weekend, don’t make any          . Just get up on Saturday morning            your body says it’s time to get up. Make some coffee, step outside and get          fresh morning air, turn on the radio and prepare yourself for nothing.

We have to accept the truth: Sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.
For example, we all have days like this: our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned, or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn’t come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for him or her. We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom, we should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact, it’s good for our health.
“Chinese people have passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part of traditional medicine,” said Mrs. Li, a 60-year-old woman from Hangzhou. “My parents taught me to do this. It’s a part of our folk（民间的）culture. ”
Mrs. Li is a member of a group of people who love shouting. Each morning, she and some of her friends climb to the top of a hill and let out loud shouts before starting their daily exercise. They believe that shouting is good exercise for their lungs（肺）and it brings them a lot of fun.
“Sometimes I shout out and other shout back,” said Mrs. Gu, another shouting lover. “It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable. ”
Dr. Peter Calafiura, an American doctor, agrees that shouting can have a positive influence on people’s health.
So, next time you start your morning run, why not try to shout out first? It will make you healthier.
The underlined word “bear” in Paragraph 2 means “__________” in Chinese.

Mrs. Li learnt to shout to make herself feel better from __________.

Where does Mrs. Li shout every day?

What does Dr. Peter Calafiura think of shouting?

The passage is mainly about __________.

Tea bag drinking is most westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.
Who invented the tea bag? 

The underlined sentence “Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK” probably means “________ in the UK”.

This sentence “today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.” tells us ________.

From the passage we can learn that Thomas Sullivan was very ________.

What can be the best title for this passage?

根据短文内容，从短文前的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将该选项前的番号填在答题卡相应位置。 

The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mum makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is well-known only by a birthmark around his right eye.
Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan (抢包山), but the sport of catching the hottest baozi from a small mountain doesn’t really exist (存在), of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ends up on only a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark instead.
  McDull was at first a supporting character in a story about his cousin McMug, a smart baby pig and “what parents expect of their children.” But interestingly, the wooden-headed McDull gradually became more attractive when he told his classmates that if he became the class monitor, he would treat everyone with strawberry cakes. McDull tried to speak out one sentence in his speech, “If you choose me, you will be...painful.” For him, it looks only a little bit different from an “A” when he gets an “E”.   
    In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience (观众), “I suddenly realize that there is something you cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no money... Actually, being silly is not funny---it could mean failure (失败). Being fat is not funny. Being fat does not even mean you are stronger. Disappointment is not funny, either. When I grow up, and face the strict world that isn’t funny, what should I do?” He is still happy, however. He always starts again with a new dream when one fails him.
 The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mark confused, who has some simple thoughts, such as God creates humans, because he loves humans and he wants them to be happy. “Maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull. McDull makes people realize that they used to be as simple and happy as him. If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a world full of problems.   ” says Alice Mark.

读下面一段短文，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。
Shanghai is the biggest city with the largest population in the world. It is also the     (fast) growing city. Its name means “on the sea”, because it sits on the shores of the East China Sea. The city used to be a         (fish) town, but these days it is not only a major financial (金融的) centre, it’s also famous for its art and culture.
    (visit) to Shanghai can be taken from the airport to the centre in a fast train. The train travels up to 430 km per hour. Once you are in the city, you   (can) miss a popular area along the Huangpu River. Also, Shanghai Museum is a great place. And if you want to try the local food, you should go to Yang’s Fried Dumplings. You can get some nice dumplings and a bowl of delicious soup for only ¥ 15.
Now Shanghai is getting very “heavy” from all the growth. As a result, the city is going down the soft ground. Since 1921, it has      (go) down for almost two meters.
