Imagine that Mom and Dad have friends over, and you have to talk to adults all evening. Say the       thing and the parents might get mad. But, say      ,  and they’ll think you weren’t friendly. So,     can you talk with adults?
It’s __ __. Just ask them questions about themselves. “Many of them like to talk about what they do for a living,” suggests psychologist Tim Ursiny.
Kids can also talk to grown-ups about     . Ask what the last good movie they saw was, because people at dinner parties “     ” when the conversation turns to movies, Ursiny says. If a grown-up is     Harry Potter, it’s OK to talk about your love for Harry. It’s a(n)    __ topic, one that both grown-ups and kids can enjoy, so       and talk about whether Dumbledore is really dead.
But       the topic of video games. “Adults don’t want to hear about your video game      they play it,” Ursiny explains.
Adults also don’t want to hear slang(俚语). Don’t use language they don’t      . Ursiny says kids should learn to speak to other people in their own language.
     most adults aren’t into slang, they do remember what it was like to be a kid. Ursiny recommends asking adults what __ __ was like when they were your age. “It might be a fun discussion if you       your 10th-grade experience with theirs.”       you chat with your parents in advance to find out which topics are off-limits (禁区).
Also, don’t chat about the things that make your parents feel guilty. Don’t mention        stuff such as how Dad has been sleeping on the couch, Ursiny says. And don’t complain that Mom has been late preparing breakfast.
     , Ursiny says, kids should try to put themselves in their parents’      . Learning how to      that type of understanding might help you out in the future. “The most successful people can develop a sympathetic feeling for others,” he says.

Wolves travel in groups, and they perform almost all the other activities of their lives in the company of fellow wolves. This is one of the most important facts that modern science have learned about wolves and one of the things that most clearly explain their way of life.
The pack is usually a family group. It is made up of animals related to each other by blood. The centre of a pack is a pair of wolves----an adult male and female that have produced young. The other members of the pack are their offspring (后代): young wolves ranging in age from pups to two- and three-year-olds. Most packs have 6 or 7 members, although some may include as many as 15 wolves.
Relationships among creatures that live close together in groups are often very complex, and this is true of the ties that connect the members of a wolf pack. Scientific studies of captive(被捕获的) wolves and wolf packs in the wild have shown that many complex rules of behavior seem to govern the way that the animals relate to each other.
When wolf pups are born into a pack, one of the most important things they must learn is the “language” of the group, the method by which pack members keep in touch with each other, sharing information and communicating their feelings. Scientists have discovered that wolves have a very complex system of communication.
The most famous wolf sound is, of course, the howl, and it is a very important part of wolf language.
When people think about howling, they usually imagine a sad, lonely sound made by a wolf sitting all alone on a hilltop in the moonlight. However, this picture in most human beings’ mind is not completely true. Wolves howl at any time, not just at night, and they often howl together, not alone.
Group or chorus howling is another means by which the members of a wolf reaffirm(重申) their ties with each other and their closeness as a group. One wolf----often the male leader----will point its nose at the sky, open its mouth, and start to howl. Immediately the other members of the pack rush to stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder, and join their voices to his. Each wolf howls on its own note so that a big chorus of slightly different sounds is produced.
Chorus howling often takes place before a wolf pack goes out to hunt. At the end of a successful hunt, the pack may also celebrate with a group howl. While wolves are on the track of prey(猎物),they are usually silent.
There are occasions when a wolf will howl by itself. This may happen when an animal is separated from the pack. Pack members seem to recognize each other’s voices and will keep responding to the howl of their wandering relative until the group is reunited.
Because howling is a sound that carries over a considerable distance, it is very useful in communications among separated members of a pack. Howling is also used when members of different packs have to get in touch with each other to pass on information about their locations and their purposes.
小题1:What makes communication the most important part of wolves’ lives?
A.Living in packsB.Hunting at night
C.Occupying a large areaD.Finding fellows
小题2:What most likely happens to young wolves after the age of four?
A.They leave the pack and live alone.
B.They leave the pack to form packs of their own.
C.They continue to live as part of the pack.
D.They take over the leadership from their parents.
小题3:How many members do most wolf packs consist of?
A.3—4B.4---5C.6---7D.10---15
小题4:To what human activity could wolves’ “chorus howling” best be compared?
A.A baby crying from hunger
B.A family having an argument
C.A group of people singing at a concert
D.A sports team cheering before a game
小题5:When will wolves howl according to the passage?
A.Only during the night.B.When separated from the pack
C.When there is moonlightD.While on their way to tracking prey

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it?Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power?Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words,you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think,feel,or only partly understand. Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words,you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal(日志)of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project,you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic?Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example,but if you are learning something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better. Want to invent something?Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,and you’re half­way there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often,they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.
小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Way on How to Write
B.Increase Your Brain Power Through Writing
C.Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing
D.How to Start Your Writing
小题2:According to the passage,writing can help you a lot except________.
A.to increase your brain power
B.to improve the ability to remember
C.to develop your interest in study
D.to strengthen the understanding of a topic
小题3:If a writer writes something,it means that he or she________.
A.has understood it very well
B.needs to understand it better
C.wants to remember it in his or her mind
D.is testing his or her new ideas
小题4:The underlined sentence“you’re half­way there”in the fourth paragraph means that________.
A.you are already successful
B.there’s a long way for you to go to reach your goal
C.you are left wondering what to do
D.you have been on the way to success

The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe. It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings; in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science--- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.
Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.” The above brief review the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?
小题1:Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

="Paragraph" 1,②="Paragraph" 2, ③="Paragraph" 3, ④="Paragraph" 4,⑤="Paragraph" 5)
小题2: From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that ______.
A.a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war
B.a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war
C.the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear war
D.the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth
小题3: The underlined word “mingled” most probably means______
A.simpleB.mixedC.sadD.happy
小题4:What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?
A.Further application of science to war.
B.More reading of William Shakespeare.
C.Proper use of science in the new century.
D.Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

When Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distances almost as clearly as if they were in the same room. Nowadays, though, we increasingly use Bell’s invention for taking photographs, accessing the internet, or watching video clips, rather than talking. Over the last two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone.
The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper, the scientist who invented the modem mobile handset(手机). Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public. The streets of modem cities began to feature sharp-suited characters shouting into giant plastic bricks. In Britain the mobile phone quickly became the same with the “yuppie”, the new type of young urban professionals who carried the expensive handsets as status symbols. Around this time many of us said that we would never own a mobile phone.
But in the mid-90s, something happened. Cheaper handsets and cheaper calling rates meant that, almost overnight, it seemed that everyone had a mobile phone. And the giant plastic bricks of the 80s had changed into smooth little objects that fitted nicely into pockets and bags.
Moreover, people’s timekeeping changed. Younger readers will be amazed to know that, not long ago, people made spoken arrangements to meet at a certain place at a certain time. But later Meeting time became approximate under the new order of communication: the Short Message Service (SMS) or text message. Going to be late? Send a text message! It takes much less effort than arriving on time, and it’s much less awkward than explaining your lateness face to face and the text message has changed the way we write in English. Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important when you’re sitting on the bus, hurriedly typing “Will B 15mm late - C U @ the bar. Sorry! -).”
Alexander Graham Bell would be amazed if he could see how far the science of telephony has progressed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say “That’s gr8! But I’m v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite.”
小题1:What does the underlined part in Para.2 refer to?
A.Houses of modern cities.B.Sharp-suited characters.
C.New type of professionals.D.Mobile phones.
小题2:According to Paragraph 4, why did Meeting time become approximate?
A.People were more likely to be late for their meeting.
B.SMS made it easier to inform each other.
C.Young people don’t like unchanging things.
D.Traditional customs were dying out.
小题3:If you want to meet your friend at the school gate this evening, which of the following message can you send him?
A.Call U@ SKUg8 2nite.B.IM2BZ2CU 2nite.
C.CU@ the bar g8 2nite.D.W84U@ SKUg8 2nite.
小题4:What does the passage mainly tell us about?
A.Alexander Graham’s invention.
B.SMS as a new way of communication.
C.New functions of the mobile telephone.
D.The development of the mobile phone.

Traveling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week-long school vacation in the United States. But what if you"re a student and don"t have enough money for a trip? Don"t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.
●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you"ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
●Plan ahead: Don"t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings.
●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
●Plan sensibly: Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.
●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.
●Go off the beaten path: Tourist sites may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes.
Remember medicine in case you get sick, and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
●Use the Internet: The net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. travelcity. corn, www. bargainslowestfare. corn and www. economictravelcity. com.
By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.
