We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our 36 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 37 everything to their kindness and love. When we 38 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them. 41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more about the world than you do. It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46 . With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices. If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage. When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It shows the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm of the sun. Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time. This characteristic probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab. The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught! 小题1:The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______. A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun’s rays C. at low tide D. every fifty minutes 小题2:The crab’s changing colour ______.A.tells the crab what time it is | B.protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies | C.keeps the crab warm | D.is of no real use | 小题3: When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______.A.did not change colour | B.changed colour more quickly | C.changed colour more slowly | D.changed colour on the same timetable | 小题4:The crab’s colour—changing ability was probably developed ______.A.in the process of evolution (进化) | B.over millions of years | C.by the work of biologists | D.both A and B | 小题5:The best title for this selection would be ______.A.The Sun and the Tides | B.Discoveries in Biology | C.A scientific Study | D.A Living Clock |

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about. 小题1:People communicate ________.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 小题1:Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 小题2: If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly 小题3: A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 小题4: A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自***) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. 小题5: It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray.A.On the other hand, black is depressing. | B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference. | C.The rooms are pained in different colors as you like. | D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. | E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors. G. Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. |

Several years ago, I had a huge falling out with one of my best friends. So huge, in fact, that now I can’t even remember what happened. In the past nine years, I’ve seen her twice, and each time we’ve been polite but distant. And that troubles me because we were once that close to each other. I’d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you’ve lost throughout the years? Linking to your past The desire to reconnect with lost friend isn’t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past. “Friends from years ago are custodians(监护人) of our past,” says Sandy Sheehy, author of Connecting” The Enduring Power of Female Friendship. Although you can’t share information about your past with friends you’ve met recently, you don’t have a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with them. But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or fear that the other person doesn’t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn’t be. Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them. Searching for friends Fortunately, finding lost friends isn’t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information: Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com. Contact your high school or college alumni(校友)office to request current address information. Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend’s hometown. Network with other friends who might have known your friend. Get in touch with any of her relatives(亲戚), if you know where they live. If you know where she works, find the company’s web site and search the directory of personnel. 小题1:What ‘s the subject discussed in the passage?A.How to make new friends. | B.How to rediscover friendships. | C.How to develop healthy friendships | D.How to keep in touch with friends. | 小题2:The underlined sentence “Friends from years ago are custodians of our past” means _____.A.many years ago old friends kept something for us | B.in the past old friends took care of us | C.old friends are part of our life history | D.old friends know what wrong things we did in the past | 小题3:What makes us unwilling to reconnect old friends?A.Lack of money | B.Shortage of time | C.Regret and shame | D.Fear and shyness | 小题4:How can we make contact with the lost friends?A.By asking other friends of the information on your lost friends. | B.By searching your friends’ telephone number in the net. | C.By asking the local post office about your friends’ new address. | D.By putting an ad in your friends’ local town. |
