When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.
When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: "No pain, no gain". He hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.
Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.
So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.
I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to encounter hardship. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.
1.With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often______.
A. kept watering them every morning
B. talked to them to get their attention
C. paid little attention to them
D. beat them to make them grow deep roots
2.What does the underlined word "Adversity" mean in the sixth paragraph?
A. Difficult living conditions.
B. Lack of moisture.
C. Enough care or attention.
D. Bad weather.
3.Which prayer does the author wish for his sons?
A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.
B. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.
C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life.
D. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
A consumercomplaint or customer complaint isan expression of dissatisfaction on a consumer’s behalf to a responsible party. It can also be described in a positive sense as a report from a consumer providing documentation about problems with a product or service.
So what are the common reasons for customer complaints? The most common complaints about retail(零售) storesfall into several aspects. First, they have to circle the filled parking lot endlessly, which is a waste of time and a test for their patience. They also can’t stand clutteredshelves, over-loaded racks, out-of-stock items and long check-out lines. Worst of all, sometimes some salespeople are rude, turning their mood into a bad one.
In fact, some modern business consultants urge businesses to view customer complaints as a gift but not a trouble.Some retailers, however,ignore complaints or deal with them dishonestly, which can cause a chain of events like bad reputation, leave theirbusiness with fewer and fewer customers. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.In the most severe cases, it can even cause companies to shut down.
Increasing competition is forcing companies to take more effective measures to satisfycustomers and better their customer service.During peak shopping hours, some moonlighting(業(yè)余兼職的) local police have been employed as parking attendants bysome retailers to solve the parking problems. Some hire flag wavers to direct customers to parking spaces that are empty. This guidance can avoid confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.Retailers can relieve the headache by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring the cashiers with much experience, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.Most importantly, salespeople should be trained to deal with angry customerswith politeness.Try their best to resolve the problem if they can.
Quickly and properly solving customer complaints can help retailers smooth over issues and their business can grow and prosper.

If you are sending a text message, watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multi-tasking shrinks(使……萎縮) the brain, research suggests.
A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex researchers said, “Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices simultaneously could be changing the structure of our brains.”
Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multi-tasking with a shortened attention span, depression, anxiety and lower grades at school.
The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking email, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingulated cortex (ACC)(前扣帶皮質(zhì)). Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environments and experience.
Other studies have shown that training – such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers’ learning the map of London – can increase grey-matter densities(密度) in certain parts.
Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99, and found 20% had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14% of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.
Multi-tasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.
1.The underlined word "simultaneously" in Para.2 means _________.
A. on one’s own B. at no time
C. at the same time D. by accident
2.All of the following are possible effects of multi-tasking except _________.
A. saving time B. a shortened attention span
C. lower grades at school D. depression and anxiety
3.What can increase grey-matter densities?
A. Sending a text message while listening to music .
B. Students’ doing their homework.
C. Taxi drivers’ learning the map of London.
D. Speaking on the phone while watching TV.
4.In which section of a newspaper can the passage be found?
A. Entertainment. B. Economy.
C. Tourism. D. Science.
5.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Media multi-tasking is becoming more popular.
B. Multi-tasking shrinks the brain.
C. Multi-tasking may shorten attention span.
D. People are worried about their memories.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2014-2015學(xué)年廣東茂名高三第一次模擬考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
My family moved from Taiwan to a small town in central Georgia, where my dad got a visa for his family and a job. I had just learned English, and from what little I could gather from my classmates, Santa Claus would come down one’s chimney(煙囪) and put toys in one’s stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do.
On that fateful night, after everyone went to bed, I took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel(壁爐). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character.
I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace. To make a sob story short, I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears, quickly took down the sock, and stuffed it in the back of a drawer. Santa was dead.
Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry.
How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door. He said, “I’ve been looking for you for twenty-five years.” He handed me a bulging red stocking, winked, and left. On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For Becky—I may have missed you in the second grade, but you’ve always lived in my heart. Santa.”
Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting of Jill, a friend I had met just two months before. I later discovered that the older man was her father. Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do something about it.
So now I believe that Santa is real. I don’t mean the twinkle-eyed character of children’s mythology(神話) or the creation of American holiday marketers. Those Santas annoy and sadden me. I believe in the Santa Claus that live inside good and thoughtful people. This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives each day purposefully, really listens to friends, and then plans deliberate acts of kindness.
1. What does the underlined part “what I had to do” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Waiting for Santa Claus.
B. Putting a stocking on the mantel.
C. Asking for gifts from her parents.
D. Looking up “stocking” in the dictionary
2. It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s parents ____.
A. didn’t love their child at all
B. didn’t know the previous owners of the house
C. didn’t know much about Christmas tradition
D. didn’t have enough money to buy the author Christmas presents
3. When the author told her friends about the story, she felt ______in her heart.
A. proud B. amusing C. hate D. regret
4. By writing the passage, the author speaks highly of ________
A. friendship B. parenting
C. religion D. culture
5. The author of the passage is probably ________.
A. a teenager
B. a primary school student
C. a middle-aged woman
D. a native American

以下是生活中父母如何和孩子保持良好關(guān)系的材料。閱讀至和A至F 對(duì)這些材料的主題概括, 選出符合每題的最佳選項(xiàng)。
1. Teenagers have opinions about everything and they aren’t shy about sharing them. So allow them to make more decisions. For example, let them decide when and where to study, what to wear, what sports team to join. However, keep in mind that some decisions can’t be discussed or changed. Parents need to set limits that protect their children’ health and safety.
2. There’s something happy about the family sitting together around the dinner table. The evening meal is often the time of the day when the family can sit together in one place and talk with each other. So make dinner a family affair. You can use the chance to share the news of the day and make weekend plans.
3. You can tell your children that you, too, sometimes feel angry or unhappy, which shows your children that you’re not just a parent—you’re a human. Not only will your children feel closer to you, but he or she may feel safe enough to disclose uncomfortable things or feelings.
4. They maybe make some wrong choices sometimes. But if they’re over 18, give them the chance to deal with problems on their own. After all, didn’t you want the same from your parents when you were their age?
5. Don’t read her diary, eavesdrop (偷聽(tīng)) on his phone conversations, or upset her with questions. Remember that they are humans and have their own privacy (隱私) just like you. If you think they have some problems, point it out directly, using five little words: “Can we talk about it?” For example, you can use the words such as “I’ve smelled smoke when you walk into the room several times now. A.Have you been smoking? Can we talk about it?”
B.Share your own feelings with your children.
C.Trust your children to make their own choices.
Allow your children to make their own decisions.
D.Don’t break your children’s privacy.
E.Praise your children when you should.
