When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems ,too.

One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十幾歲)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

1.Which of the following is true about the writer?

A. He is very old now.

B. He is in good health.

C. He prefers driving a car.

D. He lives in the city now.

2.In the passage, the writer tries to __________.

A. express his opinions about way of life

B. describe his life in the countryside

C. an interest in the outside world

D. persuade the reader to live in the city

3.How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By inferring.

B. By comparing.

C. By listing examples.

D. By giving explanations.

Some Habits of Super Positive People

Life is full of positive experiences．Notice them．Notice the sun warming your skin, the small child learning to walk, and the smiling faces around you．Smell the rain, and feel the wind．Live your life to the fullest potential by enjoying the beauty of these experiences, and letting them inspire you to be the most positive version﹙看法﹚ of YOU．

Living a positive life is all about creating positive habits to help you focus on what truly matters. This is the secret of super positive people．Here are some simple ideas to help you follow in their footsteps．

1._________

Life's too wonderful to waste time with people who don't treat you right．So surround yourself with people who make you happy and make you smile．People who help you up when you're down．People who would never take advantage of you．People who genuinely care．They are the ones worth keeping in your life．Everyone else is just passing through．

2._________

Your life isn't perfect, but it does have perfect moments．Don't let the little things get you down．You've got plenty of reasons to look up at the sky and say, "Thank you, I will do my best to make this a great day．" So slow down and pause for a moment to stand in awe of（敬畏） the fact that you are alive, and that you have the ability to rediscover life as the miracle it has always been．

3._________

It doesn't have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make good use of your life．Every day is a new day to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets, and move forward．Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to adjust who you are, and build on the lessons you have learned．It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life．Using today wisely will always help you create a more positive tomorrow．

4._________

It's the most positive, stress-free way to live, because the truth always reveals itself eventually anyway．So don't aim to be impressive, aim to be true．Those who are true are truly impressive．Being true means having integrity; and integrity is doing the right thing even when you know nobody is watching．

5._________

Today, give someone one of your smiles．It might be the only sunshine they see all day．Sometimes just a single genuine smile or praise can lift a person's spirits to new heights．At the right time, a kind word from a stranger, or unexpected encouragement from a friend, can make all the difference in the world．Kindness is free, but it's priceless．And as you know, what goes around comes around．

A

One morning, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen as he just finished loading his car. “I guess filling my thermos(保溫瓶) is all that I have left to do, and then I’m off.” Down the drain(下水道) went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.

With a nostalgic(懷舊的) look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender(溫柔的) as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us.

“Oh honey, I know she’s watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,” I responded, tears in my eyes.

One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, ‘Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense. Well, of course it would!

He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so.

Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact(影響) that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.

The lasting memories don’t necessarily come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary times. Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.

1.Which word best describes the author’s feeling in Paragraph 3?

A. Concerned B. Confused

C. Interested D. Touched

2.The underlined part “don’t necessarily” is similar in meaning to ________.

A. out of the question

B. possibly but uncertainly

C. certainly and absolutely

D. without any doubt

3.The message that the story intends to convey（傳達(dá)） is ______.

A. that lasting memories come from small things

B. how valuable a mother’s advice is to her children.

C. what a wise woman the mother is to her son-in-law

D. why we should respect our parents and listen to them.

Maybe you don’t think animals have certain mental powers which human beings do not have. But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.

Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run into his house and hide under a table.

I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.

When I was about two hundred meters from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened（震聾） me. Howard stopped walking and began whining(哀鳴). Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!

1.The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that.

A. Howard had a strange behavior

B. Howard should be afraid of the metal poles

C. Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightning

D. Howard bit his trousers in his teeth

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Dogs are cleverer and better than men.

B. Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.

C. Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.

D. Dogs are naturally born heroes.

3. What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?

A. It was about 200 meters from the author’s home.

B. It was destroyed in a rainy day.

C. Its roof was supported by wood poles.

D. It could produce blinding flash of lightning.

Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (鋪砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺)．Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.

Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.

You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗機(jī)) only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

1.Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?

A. Using river water.

B. Paving parking lots.

C. Throwing batteries away.

D. Throwing rubbish into lakes.

2.What can be inferred from the text?

A．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.

B．All water shortages are due to human behavior.

C．There is much we can do to reduce family size.

D．The average family in America makes proper use of water.

3.The last paragraph is intended to ________.

A. show us how to fix leaks at home

B. tell us how to run a dishwasher

C. suggest what we do to save water at home

D. prove what drinking glass is best for us

4.The text is mainly about ________.

A. why paving roads reduces our water

B. how human activity affects our water supply

C. why droughts occur more in dry climates

D. how much we depend on water to live
