Children often suffer pain and insecurity when their parents separate.When my ex-husband and I split up after 10 years of marriage,our daughter was 5 years old and my son only 3.We decided to consult a psychologist about the best way to explain this new situation to the children.

She shared with us this special story about a land turtle and a sea turtle,which we then used to help them better comprehend.

Once upon a time,a land turtle (Mommy) met a sea turtle (Daddy) close to a beautiful shore.Soon they fell deeply in love and decided to get married.For a time,they continued to live at the water's edge so that Mommy could sit on the sand and keep dry and warm,while Daddy sat in the shallow water to keep cool.A few years later two baby turtles arrived (you both!).They were very special indeed and looked a little like each of their parents.

But as the years went by,Daddy sea turtle started spending more and more time in the ocean as he traveled deeper and deeper to look for pearls.Mommy land turtle also started wandering up into the sands to hunt for food in the woods.Little by little,Daddy and Mommy turtle started to drift further and further apart.Finally one day,Mommy and Daddy turtle decided they didn't want to live together anymore.The little turtles continued to spend time with each of their parents.They made lots of friends with all the fish,dolphins and whales in the ocean and also many friends with the rabbits,deer,and foxes in the woods.In fact they grew up to be a new kind of turtle that could live both in the ocean and on the land.

Over the years,this tale of the land and sea turtle has helped my children cope with and accept the fact that my marriage to their father was over.They know that we once loved each other very much and they were born out of true love.

1.The underlined “They” in the second paragraph refers to .

A. the two baby turtles B. the land turtle and the sea turtle

C. the author and her ex-husband D. the author's children

2.When the parents divorce,their children often feel .

3.In the third paragraph,the underlined phrase “drift apart” probably means .

A. make sense B. become disconnected C. break down D. get excited

D

A fish may not be the first creature that comes to mind when co-operation in the animal world is mentioned, but a new study has shown the caring behavior of one sea species. Scientists have found that pairs of rabbitfishes will help and support each other while feeding. While such behavior has been recorded for birds and mammals, it had formerly been thought to be impossible for fishes to exhibit the same features.

＂We found that rabbitfish pairs manage their caring activity quite firmly, thus providing safety for their partner that is looking for food,＂ says Dr. Simon Brandl. ＂In other words, one partner stays ‘on guard’ while the other feeds – these fishes just watch each others’ back,＂ Dr. Brandl says. ＂This behavior is so far unique among fishes and appears to be based on reciprocal cooperation between pair members.＂

Reciprocal cooperation, which requires an investment in a partner that is later reciprocated（報(bào)答）, is supposed to require complex cognitive and social skills — something that fishes had been considered not to have until now.

Dr. Brandl says the research shows clear support and presents interesting evidence for reciprocal support between the rabbitfish pairs.

＂There has been a long debate about whether reciprocal cooperation can exist in animals that lack the highly developed cognitive and social skills found in humans and a few species of birds and primates,＂ he said. ＂By showing that fishes — which are commonly considered to be cold, unsocial, and unintelligent — are able to have reciprocal cooperative systems, we provide evidence that cooperation may not be as special as earlier expected.＂

Professor Bellwood says that our opinion of fishes as cold creatures is slowly changing. ＂Our findings should further cause efforts to understand fishes as highly developed organisms with complex social behaviors. This may also require a change in how we study and treat fishes.＂

【題文1】 What does the first paragraph imply?

A. Rabbitfishes almost act like birds and mammals.

B. Fishes don’t belong to the animal world at all.

C. Fishes have the ability to feed each other.

D. The caring behavior is impossible for fishes.

【題文2】While one rabbitfish feeds, the other one _________.

A. is protecting its partner from any danger B. is carrying some food for its partner

C. is looking for more food for its partner D. is hiding behind the back of its partner

【題文3】 What did people use to think about fishes?

A. They have the same behaviors. B. They show no feelings for others.

C. They have high social skills. D. They support each other all the time.

【題文4】What can we infer from what Bellwood said？

A. We should change our way of eating fish.

B. The behaviors of fishes are difficult to learn.

C. More efforts are needed to understand fish.

D. Our study of social behaviors should be careful.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虛擬). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

1.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?

A. To explain what they are.

B. To introduce BookCrossing.

C. To stress the importance of reading.

D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?

A. The book. B. An adventure.

C. A public place. D. The identification number.

3.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?

A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Pass it on to another reader.

C. Keep it safe in his bookcase. D. Mail it back to its owner.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour

B. Electronic Books: A new Trend

C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back

D. A Website Links People through Books

I think the majority of people would agree that it’s unhealthy to live in the past. After all, we’re all familiar with the new age philosophy, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.1.. Living in the past holds us back from being able to enjoy the present moment. But are there any benefits of revisiting a previous time? Actually, yes. The past has several advantages:

Learning from our mistakes: We all know that poor choices can be some of life’s greatest teachers.2..

3.: By revisiting an unfavorable event from our past, we can often view it from a different perspective as time has passed. Being older and wiser, we are now able to reevaluate the experience and gain deeper insights and understandings of what happened and why, and how it has impacted us since. What once scarred us can now be healed through a newly-found awareness and no longer be a negative force in our lives.

Motivated by earlier successes:4.. Other times life has been difficult. Remembering the past when we were at our best can help motivate us out of our current slump(低谷) and put us back on track for success. Use your past successes to propel(推動(dòng)) you on to newer and greater things.

While it’s evident that revisiting the past has several advantages, there is a warning. Just like an amusement park, it’s fine to visit but you cannot stay there forever. At some point, the park closes and all visitors are asked to leave. Enjoy the past when necessary but don’t always stay there. Use it for living in the present and planning for the future.5..

A. Moving beyond

B. That’s why it’s called the present

C. In that way, it will serve you well

D. See the mistakes as a step on the road to a solution

E. There are times when we have all enjoyed success on a variety of levels

F. Recalling times when we made mistakes can help us make better future decisions

G. So, failure is the mother of success

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.
