阅读理解。     In the past decade, openness has become mainstream, and the vast majority of domestic adoptions
(家庭领养) are open ones. Even so, potential adoptive parents and birthparents are often fearful when
they first hear of the concept.
     Making Room in Our Hearls: Keeping Family Ties Through Open Addption answers the most
common questions about the influence of open adoption, and how it affects the lives of everyone related.
Duxbury, a family expert who specializes in adoption advice, is also an adoptive parent. Her book opens with her own family"s story.
     Duxbury surveyed 150 families, but her book is not a collection of data. Instead, it allows these
families to share their thoughts and wisdom, their joy and pain; the stories communicate the great
happiness families feel at" working together for the sake of the child" and the steady view that the
adoptive parents are the parents. They also touch on problems that can arise from opening closed
adoptions.
     The most convincing advocates for open adoption here are the adopted teens themselves.
Commenting on the question people always ask: "Are you confused about who is you real
mother?", Josh, age 2l now. states, "Kids aren"t stupid. I think I would be confused if my birthmother
was not in my life. But my birthmother is not another parent. Your parents are your parents. My
birthmother is really important to me. She is like a special aunt, but she is not my parent."
     "Openness gives children the gift of possibilities, for now and for the future," writes adoption expert
Patricia Martinez Dorner in her closing thoughts. "It is not a ctre-all, but it creates the possibility for a
stronger sense of permanence and identity." This book is important reading for everyone touched by
adoption.

阅读理解。     When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn"t understand why I had no tears. But that night
when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughs turned into crying.
      So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing are controlled by the
same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so
does crying.
      Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to
work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after
crying.
      Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us
become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable
us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don"t even know we"re very sad until we cry. We
learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
      Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering-can be bad
for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can 1ead to high blood
pressure, heart problems and some other illness. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not
ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don"t fight it. It"s a natural, healthy and emotional response.1. Why didn"t the author cry when her grandmother died?      A.   Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
B.   Because she did not love her grandmother.
C.  Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
D.  The author doesn"t give the explanation.2. It can be inferred from the text that                     .    A.   there are two ways to keep healthy
B.   emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
C.   crying and laughing play the same roles
D.   crying does more good to health than laughing3. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A.  Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B.   Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
C.   We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D.   We must cry if we want to reduce pressure4. What might be the most suitable title for the text? A. Why We Cry
B. How to Keep Healthy
C. Power of Tears
D. New Scientific Discovery5. What is the author"s attitude to "crying"?A. Positive.

阅读理解。     I don"t know how it is that when I go to a post office I always seem to find myself in a line behind
someone who has some long and complicated business to do. Having only come in to buy a couple of
stamps, I am obliged to wait patiently while an old lady takes ten minutes to complete a form that a child
could do in one. People in other lines move quickly forward to take their turns and are served by cheerful
clerks. Sometimes, feeling that I cannot bear waiting in my motionless line any longer, I decide to join
another one. It may be longer, but at least it is moving. This always turns out to be the worst thing I could
have done. Not only have I now lost my place in the first line but the one I am in now slows to a stop. An
angry argument suddenly develops between the clerk and the customer at the counter, or information is
asked for which results in the clerk having to ask a senior official or, if it"s a particularly difficult problem,
disappear into a back room. Why it takes him so long, I don"t know. Perhaps he has a quick snack, but,
no, that can"t be right because when at last my turn comes, he pushes forward a printed sign, saying "
Position Closed" and without a smile says, "Sorry, going to lunch"1. When the writer goes to the post office _____. A.  he always has a lot of business to do

C.  It keeps stopping
D. It doesn"t stop4. Why does the writer think the clerk goes into a back room?    A. To have his lunch

阅读理解。     People in the past made clay-pottery because they needed it for their lives. They used the pots they
made for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place. Pottery was so important to the
early culture that scientists now study it to learn more about ancient civilizations. The more advanced the
pottery in terms of pictures, materials and making, the more advanced the culture itself.
     The artisan who makes pottery in North America today use his or her skill and imagination to create
items that are beautiful as well as useful, turning something ordinary into something special. The potter
uses one of the Earth"s most basic materials, clay. Clay can be found almost anywhere. Good pottery
clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that would make the potting steps
difficult. Most North American artisan potters now buy ready-made clay in stores, but some find the clay
they need right in the earth, close to where they work.
     The most important tools potters use are their own hands; however, they also use wooden modeling
tools, plain wire, and sponges. Plain wire is used to cut away the finished pot from its vase on the potter"s wheel.
      After a finished pot is dried of all its wet part in the open air, it is placed in a kiln and fired. The first
firing hardens the pottery, arid it is then ready to be glazed and fired again.
      For areas where they do not want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted
wax that will later bum off in the kiln. They then pour on the liquid glaze and let it run over the clay surface, making any kind of designs that they want. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Different kinds of clay
B. The training of an artisan
C. The making of pottery
D. The lives of people in the past2. The word "it" in paragraph 1 refers to             .     A. clay
B. pottery
C. lives
D. culture3. According to the passage, how do most North American potters today get the clay they need?      A. They buy it.
B. They make it.
C. They dig it from the earth.
D. They exchange for it.4. According to the author, what do potters use to remove the pot from the wheel?  A. Melted wax
B. A plain wire
C. potters own fingers
D. fire5. Which material is NOT used in the process of making a good pottery?A.clay
B. water
C. kiln
D. paint
