【題目】The Greatest Navigational Journey

In 1787 Captain Bligh was given command of “The Bounty”, a three-year-old merchant ship. His mission was to transport breadfruit plants from the island of Tahiti to the West Indies. We know the popular story of this voyage and the rebellion, in which Bligh has been presented as hard, violent and thoroughly unpleasant captain. However, there is quite a lot of evidence to suggest that this picture is far from being true. He seems to have been unusually thoughtful about the health and welfare of his men. For example he made sure that his crew got exercise, insisted on cleanliness on his ship, and adopted the practice of giving them a drink which prevented scurvy every day.

When Captain Bligh arrived in Tahiti, it became clear that it would be some months before the breadfruit trees were ready to be taken to the West Indies. Instead of going off right away, he gave his crew extended shore leave. This may have been a mistake as many were unhappy about leaving when the time came. Finally, on the return journey the rebellion took place. The ship was under the command of the rebels and Captain Bligh had to leave in a small boat.

Captain Bligh’s achievement was to get to dry land successfully. It is one of the supreme examples of seamanship. Apart from Bligh there were 18 members of his crew sailing in an open boat about 23 feet long and 7 feet wide. They took with them 25 gallons of water, 150 pounds of bread and 30 pounds of pork. They had no guns or other weapons. The boat was so low in the water that it seemed likely to sink at any time. On one occasion Captain Bligh tried to land on an island to get more water. He and his men were attacked by hostile natives and one of the crew was killed. At this point Bligh decided to sail directly to the Dutch settlement on the island of Timor without stopping. The distance was about 4,000 miles. The voyage took about 42 days and he had no advanced navigational equipment. However, his skill and commitment proved equal to the task and amazingly no one else died. It was truly a remarkable achievement.

【題目】While I was teaching in China, I became interested in acupuncture（針灸）. It was after returning from China and witnessing how successful it had been that I reached the decision to become an acupuncturist myself. I was lucky to discover that the town where I lived had a famous college of traditional acupuncture.

Alternative medicine such as acupuncture is particularly important for me because I firmly believe that it works on the level of body, mind and spirit. This is very different from Western medicine which is supposed to work only on the body. When a person is ill, it is believed that there’s something in their life that is putting their energy levels out of balance. What alternative therapies（療法）try do to is kelp to gradually push that energy back into balance. The result is that any disease present might naturally disappear as it cannot survive when energies are balanced.

I’ve treated a wide range of people for various conditions, for example people suffering from stress and anxiety. To acquire a qualification in acupuncture, I took a course that lasted three years. I had to go to the college about one weekend in three. I also had a large amount of homework and practical work to do, which I did two or three evenings a week. This involved locating pints on different people. As you can imagine, this isn’t straightforward as people are of different sizes and have differently shaped bodies.

In the future I hope to set up an alternative health clinic which will involve myself as an acupuncturist but perhaps other people as well. I’d like to work with people who provide treatments such as rubbing（按摩）and pressing people’s feet in a special way to help them relax and feel well. I’d like to set it up somewhere in the countryside, where people could feel free from the stress of life.

【1】The author decides to learn acupuncture .

A. when he was teaching in China

B. when he was studying in college

C. after he came back to his mother country

D. after he discovered an acupuncture school

【2】What does the author think of acupuncture?

A. It prevents disease.

B. It treats people as a whole.

C. It has an immediate effect.

D. It helps improve people’s lives.

【3】The acupuncture course the author took was .

A. time-consuming and challenging

B. learner-centered and effective

C. difficult but interesting

D. painful but helpful

【4】What do the underlined words “other people” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Other acupuncturists.

B. Other alternative therapists.

C. Other doctors who use Western medicine.

D. Other people who want to escape fro stress.

It’s natural for all kids to worry at times, and because of personality differences, some may worry more than others. 【1】 They typically worry about things like grades, tests, their changing bodies, fitting in with friends, the goal they missed at the soccer game, or whether they’ll be bullied (欺負(fù)), or left out. Luckily, parents can help kids manage worry and deal with everyday problems.

To help your kids manage what’s worrying them:

Find out what’s on their minds.

Be available and take an interest in what’s happening at school, on the team, and with your kids’ friends. 【2】 As you listen to stories of the day’s events, be sure to ask about what your kids think and feel about what happened. Sometimes just sharing the story with you can help lighten their load.

【3】

Being interested in your child’s concerns shows they’re important to you, too, and helps kids feel supported and understood. Reassuring (令人安心的) comments can help—but usually only after you’ve heard your child out. Say that you understand your child’s feelings and the problem.

Guide kids to solutions.

【4】 When your child tells you about a problem, offer to help come up with a solution together. If your son is worried about an upcoming math test, for example, offering to help him study will lessen his concern about it.

Offer reassurance and comfort.

Sometimes when kids are worried, what they need most is a parent’s concern and comfort. 【5】 It helps kids to know that, whatever happens, parents will be there with love and support.

A. Show you care and understand.

B. Take casual opportunities to ask how it’s going.

C. It might come in the form of a hug or time spent together.

D. Kids sometimes worry about things that have already happened.

E. Not all the kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school.

F. What kids worry about is often related to the age and stage they’re in.

G. You can help reduce worries by helping kids learn to deal with challenging situations.

Until I was ten years old I was the same like everyone else. I used to climb tree, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly represent my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker . In the end I went into hospital for medical tests, I stayed for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, include one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at them under a microscope. Even after all that, nobody could give my disease the name and it is difficult to know what the future holds.

One problem is what I don't look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after run a short way or had to stop and rest on halfway up the stairs.
