Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time, I'll take a close look at their bookshelves.What they keep on their shelves,in my eyes,is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests.The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.

    My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school ﹣ Nineteen Eight﹣Four, The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full﹣time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(职业的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present.

shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.

    It's often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well﹣organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned.

Imagine this. There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like ?The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower Rediscovering Our Greater Strength ,suggests that willpower(意志力) is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.

    Here is a famous experiment in the book:The Marshmallow Test.In 1972,Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four﹣year﹣olds to six﹣year﹣olds.In the experiment,each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖) on a table in front of them.They were given two choices: they could either eat it or,if they waited fifteen minutes,they'd be given a second one (and then they could eat both).

    So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine,70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes.But the other 30% showed willpower they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow.But then Mischel discovered something really interesting. Twenty years later, he got in touch with the children, who, by then,were in their early twenties.And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.

    Willpower is like a muscle(肌肉),and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.So,if you do daily "self﹣control exercises",such as making your bed or brushing your teeth,you'll improve your overall willpower. And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.

    Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired.If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat.

    That way,you'll build up your willpower again.

    And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!

(1)How many children got two marshmallows in the Marshmallow Test in 1972?  

A.180.

B.240.

C.420.

D.600.

(2)In Paragraphs 2&3, the famous experiment explains   

A. more kids have stronger will power

B. will power influences people's lives greatly

C. how people practice children's will power

D. marshmallows can help improve will power

(3)The writer probably agrees that   

A.all the language learners have strong willpower

B.willpower can't be improved by doing some daily things

C.young kids don't need to practice willpower like grown﹣ups

D.people with strong willpower can achieve their goals more easily

(4)According to the passage, people who   might have strong willpower.

A. do regular piano practice every day

B. give up morning running halfway

C. eat as much junk food as they like

D. usually get up late on the cold morning

Money can make you happy,only if you spend it in a clever way.

Buying a new car makes you happy.However,you will forget this happy feeling when the car gets old.But if you spend a week traveling.It's more possible that you'll remember the great experience,and you'll remember the feeling for a long time.A new study has found that spending money on experiences makes people happier than on material things.

   For material things,it's possible that you'll care about every little things.If you buy a nice pen,and someone else buys one with less money,it is possible that you may be unhappy because you spend more money.When it comes to experiences like trips,you won't think like that.If the experience is generally good,you will be happy with the price.

   Material things can be compared more easily.If you buy an MP3 and then see a more suitable one,you may regret buying the first one.However,if you have a nice dinner at one restaurant,and then learn about another better restaurant,you'll not regret the first meal.

   Material things can cause jealousy(嫉妒).For example,if you buy a new toy and find that your friend has a better toy,you will feel unhappy.Instead,if you travel to a beautiful place,then no matter where your friends have gone,it won't make the memory of your trip less happy.

    On a June afternoon in 1752, the sky began to get dark over the city. As the storm broke, most people surely hurried inside, but not Benjamin. Franklin. He decided it was the perfect time to fly a kite. Franklin had been waiting for a chance like this. He wanted to show the connection between lightning(闪电) and electricity,and to do so, he needed a storm.

    He walked into field, and flew a kite with a piece of rope tied to it. A key was tied to the rope. The lightning hit the kite, and electricity passed through the rope to the key. Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock(电击). This, he said, proved(证明) the electrical nature of lightning.

    For many years, schools have taught the story of Franklin's experiment. Millions of schoolchildren have been amazed by his courage and his scientific spirit of looking for the truth. However, new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact. Although Franklin's experiment took place, more than one scientist has questioned what really happened.It's true that he did the experiment with the rope and the key. But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key, he would certainly have died from the electric shock.

    Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to find out the facts. Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton's head. Many reports suggest that although the falling apple certainly provided ideas,there is nothing to show that the apple actually hit him on the head,

    In fact, fiction is often more interesting than the truth.People have been more encouraged by Franklin's spirit than by the facts themselves. But in science, facts should be tested by experiments and research, and we should not always believe everything we read or hear even if it is a great story.

(1)Franklin did the experiment in order to prove   

A. he was an excellent scientist

B. flying a kite in the storm was safe

C. he was not afraid of lightning

D. lightning was a form of electricity

(2)The underlined word "fiction" probably means something   

A. not true

B. quite different

C. not safe

D. quite necessary

(3)Some scientists questioned whether Franklin    in the experiment.

A. flew a kite

B. touched the key

C. was present

D. discovered electricity

(4)The purpose of the passage is to tell us   

A. Franklin's spirit is encouraging

B. fiction is more interesting than the truth

C. Franklin's experiment is not real

Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope (羚羊) wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, "I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed."(1)  the first thing the lion thinks about is,"I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death." So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.

This is life: full of chances and challenges.(2)   For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word "exam" meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up,I got to know competition well.(3)  

Each time I saw children playing games,and heard their laughter,I wished I were that age again.(4)   So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.

   I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English﹣speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly.(5)  It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.

C. There must be competitions in one' s life, so people can improve

    "To clear the garden path." Answered Jo.

    When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.

    Jo laughed and shouted, "How are you? Are you ill?"

    Laurie opened the window and said," I'm better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week".

    "I'm sorry," said Jo. "Are you bored?"

    "Yes, very." he replied.

    "Don't your friends come to visit you?"

    "No. But I don't want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache."

    "Girls are quiet."

    "I don't know any girls."

    "You know us."

    "That's true! Can you come and visit me?" cried Laurie.

    " I'm not quiet, but I'd like to come," replied Jo. "I must ask Mother first." She ran back into her house.

     A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie's house. A servane took her upstairs.

    "Here I am!" she said brightly. "Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange (牛奶冻) for you."

    "That looks delicious," Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.

    Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.

    "A nice room!" she said. "I can read to you if you like."

    "No, let's talk," replied Laurie.

    "All right," said Jo, "I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop."

    "You have three sisters﹣Amy, Beth and Meg." Laurie continued.

    "How do you know this?" Jo was surprised.

    "You call each other's names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven't got a mother."

    Jo felt sad when she heard this.

    "Why don't you come and visit us?" she said, "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time."

    "Thank you. I'd like to come very much." Said Laurie.

    "We know all our neighbours except you." Jo said, " I'm glad we're friends now."

    She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said," Besides(除了……之外) plays, I also love books." Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.

    "Wow!" she said, "All those books!"

    Laurie said, "A person needs more than books."
