The students at Sandy"s high school were badly shaken by the news that a classmate had __36 himself．The suicide note read: “It’s hard to 37 when nobody cares.”
Glen, a teacher, realized this was a 38 moment about the importance of making people feel _39 ． He asked his class to imagine they were about to _40 and to write a note "telling someone how and why you _ 41 him or her."
Sandy, who had a 42_ relationship with her mother, decided to write her _43 . Her letter read: "We"ve had some 44_ times and I haven"t always been a very good _ 45 , but I know I"m lucky to have you in my life． You"re the _ 46_ person I"ve ever known．And even when I disagree with you, I never _ 47 _you love me and want what"s best for me．Thanks for not 48 up me.”
When her mom read the note, she cried and hugged Sandy 49 but said little．
The next morning, Sandy found a 50 on her mirror: "Dearest Sandy, I want you to know being your mother is, by far, the most important thing in my life． 51_ I got your note , I thought I had lost your love and 52 . I felt like such a failure．I intended to 53 it all last night．Your note saved my 54 .”

What is colour? Why do some of the things around us look red, some green, others blue?
Colours are really made by reflected(反射)light. We see colour because most of the things reflect light. Something is red, for it reflects most of the red light. In the same way, if something is green, it reflects most of the green light. If something reflects all light, it is white. If it doesn‘t reflect any light, it is black.
Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in(吸收)and turned into(变成)heat(热能).The darker the colour is, the less light is reflected, the more light is taken in. So dark-coloured(深色的)clothes are warmer in the sun than light-coloured clothes.
小题1:When something reflects light, we can_______.| A．see its colour | B．see its heat | C．not see its colour | D．see nothing |
小题2:In summer _____make people feel cool.| A．dark-clolured clothes | B．red-coloured clothes | | C．green-coloured clothes | D．light-coloured clothes |
小题3:(Originally created) Why does the author use a question at the beginning of this passage?| A．The author doesn’t has a knowledge of colour. | | B．The author shows off his knowledge of colour. | | C．To ask the readers to answer this question. | | D．To draw the readers’ interest in reading this passage. |
小题4:(Originally created) In which of the following you can find this passage?
A. A travel book B.A history book
C. A popular science magazine C, An entertainment newspaper.
小题5:What’s the best title(题目)of this passage(短文)?| A．Dark colour | B．Colour | C．Heat | D．Clothes |

A special laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night. It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have discovered that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.
While the subjects—usually students—sleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly.
Observers report that a person usually fidgets(烦躁不安) before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleep—perhaps to dream some more.
Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have disappeared.
小题1:According to the passage, researchers at the University of Chicago are studying ____.| A．contents of dreams | B．dreamers while they dream | | C．the meaning of dreams | D．the progress of sleeping |
小题2:Their finding has discovered that _____.| A．everyone dreams every night | | B．dreams are easily remembered | | C．dreams are likely to be frightening | | D．One person dreams only one dream a night |
小题3:The machines being used in the experiment record _____.| A．the depth of sleep | | B．the subjects’ brain waves and eye movements | | C．how many dreams a person has | | D．what a sleeper dreams during his sleep |
小题4:A person would be most likely to remember the dream that _____.| A．was of most interest to him | | B．occurred immediately after he went to sleep | | C．occurred just before he woke up | | D．was the longest one to him |

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the
reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The latest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.
“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
小题1:The text mainly talks about ________. | A．men’s heart cells | B．women’s ageing process | | C．the gender difference | D．hearts and long life |
小题2:According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________. | A．women have more cells than men when they are born | | B．women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat | | C．the female heart loses few of the cells with age | | D．women never lose their pumping power with age |
小题3:We can know from the passage that ________. | A．the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out | | B．scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells | | C．the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss | | D．women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20 |

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image(形象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today"s young people seem to be about their families," said one member of the research team. "They"re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There"s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don"t want to rock the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. "My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. " I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I"m doing, they"re fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I"d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."
小题1:According to the author, teenage rebellion ________.| A．resulted from changes in families | | B．may be a false belief | | C．is common nowadays | | D．existed only in the 1960s |
小题2:What is the passage mainly about?| A．Education in family | | B．Negotiation in family | | C．Teenage trouble in family | | D．Harmony in family |
小题3:The study shows that teenagers don"t want to ________.| A．go boating with their family | | B．share family responsibility | | C．make family decisions | | D．cause trouble in their families |
小题4:What is the popular images of teenagers today?| A．They dislike living with their parents | | B．They quarrel a lot with other family members | | C．They worry about school | | D．They have to be locked in to avoid troubles |
小题5:Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today"s parents ________.| A．care less about their children"s life | | B．give their children more freedom | | C．go to clubs more often with their children | | D．are much stricter with their children |
