Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt, sadness. We need

题型:不详难度:来源:
Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt, sadness. We need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond. Being afraid of fast cars, for example, is something that might protect us from harm. Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble.
Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs. Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media. Many normal fears during the early years, like men with beards, or large dogs, disappear with age. Those relating to personal failure and ridicule (嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.
Children’s fears are often trivial, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child. Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to deal with them.
Research shows that as a child grows up, the center of his fears changes a lot. Things like divorce, a teacher who “shouted at me”, people with guns, bullies, big boys, or “making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears.
We can not always prevent these experiences from happening, but it’s essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment. Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease the pain of these fears. Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears. This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope. With all emotions, fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with.

小题1:B 细节理解题。根据第二段提到Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media,害怕可能由于别人对于事物的描述,或者媒体对他的描述的导致的,所以不是天生的而是后天所知道了,故选B项。
小题2:A.细节推断题。根据第三段Children’s fears are often trivial, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored.孩子的恐惧通常是很小,但并且不意味着他们被忽视,所以只有小还会被忽视故选A项。
小题3:D推理判断题。根据第三段提到Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to deal with them只有通过帮助孩子理解恐惧,他们才能真正的成长来自己处理他们。所以选D项。

As they migrate (迁移), butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.
Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in   insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect (测出) such little creatures at such great heights.
To their surprise, though, the insects weren’t passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes.
Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn’t always go with the flow. If breezes weren’t blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate (补偿). Many migrating birds do the same thing.
The study also found, butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops.
小题1:What’s the main idea of the text?  
A.Insects migrate with the seasons.
B.Wind helps insects greatly in migrating.

小题3:It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because ________.         
A.the little creatures can fly very fast
B.they have no regular migrating courses
C.the wind’s direction is hard to foresee
D.their flight is long and high above ground
小题4:We can learn from the text that _________.          
A.insects fly in the way birds do
B.insects travel more easily in autumn
C.insects never position themselves when flying low
D.insects rest a lot when the wind pushes them along
小题5:According to the passage, the findings can__________.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation
When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips .You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
Use association
Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng-tall,black hair”. To reinforce your association, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you.
小题1:If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may________
A.tell them the truthB.tell them a white lie
C.ask him for pityD.ask others to help you
小题2:The underlined word “reinforce” mostly means “______”.
A.getB.simplifyC.strengthenD.collect
小题3:When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember______
A.all their namesB.a couple of names first
C.just their last namesD.as many names as possible
小题4:What does the text mainly tell us?
A.How to recite and repeat namesB.Importance of attending parties
C.How to make use of associationsD.Tips on an important social skill

Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. My family’s last vacation was a good         to prove it. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were         home from Fort Lauderdale after a week-long trip. The flight was        , and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to        . But that didn"t mean my husband and my son couldn"t stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more         to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged — okay, ordered — them to wait it out at the        , to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people may think I"m a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a        . And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to        .
I"ve made living looking for the best deals and         the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC"s Today show for over a decade. So far, I feel proud that I have written a couple of         including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I         in.
I tell you this because there is no         in getting your money’s worth. Honestly, I’m also         when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn"t hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it"s the first thing people        . And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.         lasts.

It was once unheard-of to be a businessman in China. Nowadays, though, it’s quite common to become your own boss. Let’s say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what you’ll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didn’t have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan.
The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful.
□Product
Your product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new, don’t expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them.
□Place
There’s no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall. Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them?
□Price
Work out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, you’re also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too!
□Promotion
How can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business.
小题1:What’s the best title for the passage?
A.How to start a business.
B.Starting a business soon.
C.Starting your own business.
D.Preparations for starting a business.

A.a business planB. a shopC. moneyD.successful businessmen
小题3:If you want to start a noodle shop, you should ________.
A.expect people to show much interest
B.research your noodles
C.let people try it at a low price
D.let children have a try
小题4:What does “If so” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.There are shops selling the goods like yours.
B.Many people pass by.
C.You should think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell.
D.You should spend the day on possible places.
小题5:You are selling toys to children. It costs 5 yuan to make each one. How much should you charge the children for each toy?

Did anyone find the names of “Great Britain”, “the United Kingdom”, “England” and “the British commonwealth” which have the same meaning? Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.
The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK.
Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.
Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire (帝国). This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today.
