Many years ago, I went to ________my mother from work in the afternoon. I got there a little early so I parked the car by the road and waited for her.
As I looked outside the car window to my right, there was a small park where I _________ a little boy, around one and a half to two years old, ________freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face ________ he had just been set free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without ________ or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face. It seemed ________ had happened!
For kids, ________at an early age, when they fall down, they don't regard their falling down as a ________;instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They feel compelled to try and try again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not ________ "falling down" with the word "failure" yet, thus they don' t know how to feel the state which accomparues failure. Therefore, they are not ________ in any way. In addition, they probably think to themselves that it's perfectly okay to fall down, and that it's not wrong to do so. ________ , they give themselves permission to make mistakes. Thus they remain energetic.
Touched as I was by the boy's ________ , I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so ________ and natural. No________ of fear and nervousness.
His only aim was to run freely and to do it as ________ as he could. He was just being a child-just being himself - being completely in the moment. He was not looking for ________ or was not worrying about whether someone was ________ or not. He wasn't concerned about being judged. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him fall ( as there were others in the park apart from him and his mother) and that it would be ________if he did fall. No, all that ________ to him was to accomplish the task or activity at hand to the best of his ability. To run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I ________ a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.

Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know that animals can learn—dogs, rats, birds can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes(猿) can understand some things more quickly than human, one or two have learnt a few words. But they are still different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences; they cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future.
Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five—but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know.
They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.

5 Secrets of Web Travel Sites
Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.
1.They who's on a Mac and who's on a PC and who's going to spend more.
Last year, US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. On average, Mac users lay out US$20-30 more per night on hotels and go for more stars. according to the Wall Street Journal. As a result, online• travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid inadvertently paying more, sort results by price.
2.Their software doesn't always hook up to the hotel's system.
A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere — but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers. The middle-man's software isn't immune to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.
3.Don't be fooled by packages: Often, they're low-end items grouped together.
Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers.
Check the fine print.
4.You could miss out on loyalty points.
Third-party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points. Many hotel loyalty programmes don't recognise external sites, others award only minimum points and exclude special offers, like double points on hotel stays.
5.Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.
An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you're just another client who booked at the lowest rate.
1.Which ofthe following is TRUE?
A.Third-party providers can ensure your reservation.
B. Mac users are likely to spend more money than PC users.
C.An online travel agency functions the same as an agent.
D.Packages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes.
2.What's the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel site.
B. To make an advertisement about several travel sites online.
C. To convince readers not to book a trip on an online travel site.
D.To warn readers of some problems with booking trips online.

Mathilda,15, is Turkana, a native people that has survived by raising cattle in a semiarid (半干旱) region. Mathilda's school, like most schools in the area, doesn't have access to clean water and sanitation facilities for its students. So instead of spending their whole school day learning, Mathilda and her classmates start their day by spending two hours to the closest river fetching water ---water that is anyway most likely not safe to drink. They do the same thing again in the afternoon, so they often lose around half of their school day fetching water.
Mathilda has to do the same thing outside of school hours to get the water her family needs at home, leaving her little time for studying. Because of rising temperatures, water has become harder and harder to find here, and people have to spend more and more time trying to find it.
This is just one small example of how climate change is making it harder to realize people’s rights to water, education and security. Unfortunately, most higher-income countries remained silent on the issue.
This is despite studies showing that communities already facing marginalization(邊緣化),such as women and children, mostly suffer from climate change. This is especially the case for those in countries with limited resources and fragile ecosystems.
Meanwhile, women consist of the majority of the world 's poor,and so are more dependent for their livelihood on natural resources that are threatened by climate change. And around the world, women and girls are the most likely to be responsible for fetching water for their families.
This exposes them to danger and leaves them with less time to attend school, earn money, or simply to rest. But the fact is that the effects of climate change will be felt globally.
Despite the difficulties she is facing, trying to get an education, Mathilda says she hopes to serve her community in a leadership role when she grows up.
“All of the world's leaders need to work together to solve this problem that we are all facing,” she said.
1.Mathilda has to spend _______fetching water every school day.
A. two hours B. four hours
C. more than four hours D. almost a whole day
2.The first two paragraphs are intended to tell us____________.
A. the cause and effect of lack of water
B. one serious consequence of climate change
C. the difficulties in fetching water in the semiarid region
D. the hardship of life for the people in the semiarid region
3.We can conclude from the passage that________________.
A. climate change is everyone's business
B. water is becoming rare because of rising temperatures
C. fetching water takes up Mathilda's half of studying time
D. females are more responsible for fetching water for their families
4.The passage is mainly about the problem caused by_______________.
A. rising temperatures B. fetching water
C. climate change D. water shortage

While most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome.
The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions.“Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London.
In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound.
Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well.
“Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,”said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up.
The researchers said our brain is“very much concerned”with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception(認知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong.“Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions.”said Professor Haggard.“We have to take responsibility for what actually do, not just for how we experience things.”

A.always try to hide their shame or embarrassment.
B.are only willing to take the credit when things go well

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Our level of responsibility can be strongly affected by the outcomes of our actions.
B.When something bad happens, nobody is interested in dealing with the problem.
C.People were quicker to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence.
D.Participants were asked to count the time between pressing a key and hearing the sound.
3.How is the passage developed?
A.By giving examples.
B.By quoting research findings.
C.By analyzing cause and effect.
D.By providing data.
4.According to the passage, a person who is concerned with reward is .
A.awkward B.natural C.absurd D.stubborn
