We live in a fast-paced and anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet. Thus we are sometimes affected by fears or anxiety impacting our life. For as long as I could remember I had struggled with anxiety. After I left university, I made friends with a Moroccan woman at work. One day she invited me to        her and her family back home. I wanted to, but I would have to travel there       and I knew we would be in a very rural area. How would I cope with my       ?
Then one day it        to me that I had a life to live. I could choose to let anxiety        me or I could go to Morocco and        something different. I was 23 years old and had never been out of the UK alone. The journey to Morocco        something inside me. I managed to cope with my anxiety. The sense of        was overwhelming and still to this day when I get afraid of going somewhere alone, I remember how        it felt when I arrived in Morocco.
Upon arrival I was so        for the generous welcome I received. My friend’s family had arranged a welcome party. The people were so loving toward me. As a moment of        felt in a faraway village, this reminded me that I was “good enough”, which helped to        my anxiety.
Waking up the next day, in the morning light, I saw the area where we were. I was        by how rural it was – and the realization that these people had very few      .
In the days afterwards, I traveled around Morocco. We went to Marrakesh and       the Atlas mountains. We had the most amazing food – lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
At the end of my        something inside me had changed. I realized I had not felt anxious for nearly two weeks.
Experiencing a different culture far away from home helped me to realize what is important in life, what really     , and with that my anxiety     . When I returned home I was much more active in        my anxiety. Working with people, helping them        their anxiety, is how I can share the love I found in Morocco.

When it comes to hard, noisy traveling, we’ve found that sometimes we’d rather read about it than actually go. Here are some bestsellers for armchair travelers.
The Station by Robert Byron. In 1928, the 22-year-old man made a journey to Mount Athos, resulting in one of the best travel books ever written, matched only by Byron’s own, much more famous The Road to Osciana.
In Darkest Africa by Henry Monton Stanley. It’s about his great efforts to save an unlucky German doctor Eduard Schnitzer, who had no desire to be rescued at all.
A Traveler’s Alphabet: Partial Memoirs by Sir Steven Runciman. A to Z and around the world. He provides priceless information of long-gone princesses, priests, and places.
South: A Memoir of the Endurance Voyage by Sir Ernest Shackleton. As the planet started the global war, Shackleton and his brave group of explorers made an unsuccessful but heroic journey to cross Antarctica from 1914 to 1917.
The Michelin Red Guide: France 2005 Reading through this final listing of all the nice hotels and wonderful restaurants in France is better than going there, listening to Chirac talk about the poisonous American culture, and spending the price of this book for a tiny cup of tea and a cookie the size of your thumb.
The Past Is a Foreign Country by David Lowenthal. This great book of an armchair exploration tells us what has happened in the past and shows the relationship between us and the past travelers.
The underlined phrase “armchair travelers” in the first paragraph refers to those who___________.

Which of the books has a very low price according to the passage?

What can we learn from the passage?

This passage is written____________ .

Oprah Winfrey, born in 1954, is all American talk show host, best known for her multi-award-winning talk show. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world. It's no surprise that her endorsement(认可)can bring overnight sales fortune that defeats most, if not all, marketing campaigns. The star features about 20 products each year On her “Favorite Things” show. There’s even a term for it: the Oprah Effect.
Her television career began unexpectedly. When she was 16 year old, she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other people’s stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world. She was on television by the time she was 19 years old. And in 1986 she started her own television show with a continuous determination to succeed at first.
TIME magazine wrote, “People would have doubted Oprah Winfrey’s swift rise to host of the most popular talk show on TV. In a field dominated by white males, she is a black female of big size. As interviewers go, she is no match for Phil Donahue. What she lacks in journalistic toughness, she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity, rich humor and, above all understanding. Guests with sad[stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in Oprah’s eye. They, in turn, often find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone, much less a national TV audience.”
“I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew. It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to fall if you’re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages, you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction” as Oprah addressed graduates at Harvard on May 30, 2013.
The Oprah Effect refers to _______

What can be inferred about Oprah’s television career?

The message from Oprah to graduates at Harvard is that _______.

Which of the following best describes Oprah Winfrey?

Once I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. Thus, on one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. When they saw the room they were a bit alarmed, for it was laid out as a studio. In front of each easy chair there was a microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink.
I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn seriously counted from one to twenty in their best accent. When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks, and for the rest of the evening there was general cheerful conversation—interrupted only by the fact that I had to take a telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time.
Or at least that was how it would appear. For, of course, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one, which was turning happily away in the kitchen. The participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. And my lengthy absence meant that I was able to obtain as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find.
I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over, and gave them the choice of destroying the tape. None of them wanted to—though for some years afterwards it always seemed to be my round when it came to the buying of drinks. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.
The writer asked his friends to count from one to twenty because _______. 

The writer went into another room to ________.

The writer turned off the tape-recorder because _______.

Which one is true according to the passage?

Teaching is more than leadership. Some of the teacher’s time and effort is directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effective organizational structure (结构) and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goals, or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group. The leadership pattern includes helping to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.
On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals (个体). Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of group unity, no set of rules for conduct in the group, no feeling of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages working together.
Standards and rules must be set to keep order, make sure of justice and protect individual rights, but do not contradict school policy. What happens when one student hurts another’s individual rights? Without clear regulations agreeable to the students and teachers, the classroom can become chaotic. Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without participation from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in destroying the class environment or finding ways to break rules.
No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and creating a positive atmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance is necessary. Conflicts arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or sport competitions, or family troubles cause stress in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to recreate a positive environment by helping students deal with conflict, change, and stress.
The underlined word “maintain” in Para.1 probably means_______.

According to the author, the teacher should _______.

From the passage we can learn that ______.

What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?

One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family，” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help？”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
“It's your turn,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
When he first met the author, David ________．

As a psychologist, the author ________．

David enjoyed being with the author because he________．

What can be inferred about David_______?

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求回答问题。（注意题目里词数的要求）
[1] Everyone knows how to spend money, but not many people know how to spend it wisely. When you learn to spend wisely, you are learning the art of saving money.
[2] Spending money wisely does not mean buying cheap goods. A pair of shoes that costs two hundred dollars is probably better than a pair of shoes that costs twenty dollars. How do you know which pair of shoes is better? For one thing, you can consider how long the shoes are going to last. If the pair of twohundreddollar shoes can last (for) five years，the average cost of the shoes per year is just forty dollars. Besides, the pair of shoes that costs two hundred dollars will be more comfortable than cheaper shoes. The pair of cheaper shoes may last only a few months and cause your legs to suffer. Why should you spend money buying pain and suffering? However, some shoes that last a very long time are very cheap. If you can find this kind of shoes, you are getting very good value for your money.
[3] When you spend money on junk food, you are using your money to buy sickness and early death. No matter how much the cost of the meal is, spending money on junk food is foolish. You will spend more money on medical services later on in life. Investing (投资) in your health means you can save money on medical costs. Many people, who live more than a hundred years old, live happily in the pink. They seldom suffer from serious illnesses. They are the ones who invest in their health and save money on medical costs.
[4] When you can treat any spending as an investment, that means you are spending money wisely. It will produce returns for you in the future. Whenever you need to buy something, please ask the question, “Is this an investment or just spending？”
