BHow would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake? Dolphins sleep this way. Recently, scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open, apparently looking for predators.“The more the ducks felt threatened, the more they slept with one eye open,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg, a graduate student at Indiana State University,Terre Haute.”the unique aspect is not that they do it,but that they control it. When they sleep at the edge of a group,they tend to realize greater danger, so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators, said the authors of the study, which appears today in the journal Nature.The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes, which were arranged in a row. Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position.Also, ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.60. It was discovered that .A. most people would like to be half asleepB. ducks can sleep half awakeC. dolphins sleep on their wayD. ducks have different sleeping habits from each other 61. A predator is most likely to be .A. an animal that hunts,kills and eats other animalsB. a human being who looks after and feeds ducksC. a scientist who does research work on animalsD. an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks 62. Ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because .A. they are looking for food B. they want to enjoy the sceneryC. they are watching out for danger D. they are unique in their sleeping habit 63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open.B. Ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the center of a row.C. Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep.D. A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experiment. CLetter to My GrandsonChange is difficult for all of us. The older we get, the more change we face. All change involves loss, and whenever we lose something, we try hard to have it back. So because we know that all change is loss and all loss is change, your mom and dad worried about how you would react when it was time to take away your beloved pacifier (奶嘴) — your “binky”. Now that you’re four, you no longer have your binky; you have nothing to protect you from your anxiety. That’s why transitions (转变) are hard. Those transitional objects give us the illusion (幻觉) of security. When they are gone, we are left with the insecurity that’s been there all along. Sam, almost everything we become attached to we’ll eventually lose: our possessions, our loved ones, and even our youth and health. Yes, each loss is a blow (打击). But it’s also an opportunity. There’s an old saying: “When the heart weeps for what it’s lost, the soul rejoices (感到高兴) for what it’s gained.” So when you feel the pain of loss, please don’t try to grab (抓住) at something to take away the pain. Just have faith that pain, like everything else, is transitional. Through it, you will learn about your ability to deal with adversity (逆境). You will learn how to manage stress. On the other side of pain, you will learn something about who you are. A friend of mine recently told me she had so many difficulties in her life that she felt like she was living in a nightmare (恶梦) and didn’t know what to do. I told her to find the bus station and wait for the bus! She looked at me as if I was crazy. I explained that all emotions (情绪) are temporary, and we can wait for them to pass as though we were waiting for a bus. We can wait with disappointment, anger or feelings of victimhood, but that won’t make the bus come any faster. We could wait with patience and relaxation, but that wouldn’t make the bus come faster either! We just have to have faith that it’s coming. 64. It can be inferred that the pacifier mentioned in the first paragraph .A. was just an opportunity to Sam B. stills means a lot to Sam C. was a transitional object D. is an object Sam has already forgotten 65. According to the author, when we lose something, _____. A. we will lose protection from insecurity B. we can have it back in a different way C. we should be thankful for what is lost D. we can still expect something positive66 What does the last paragraph indicate? A. We can do nothing about difficulties in life. B. Waiting for the bus is a good way to reduce one’s stress. C. We should be confident that all pains will be over in time. D. We can do nothing except wait to make the bus come faster.67. What does the author mainly want to tell Sam in the letter? A. We can avoid losses in our life by controlling our emotions. B. Keeping optimistic matters a lot in the face of hardship. C. Growing up is more than a process of losing and gaining. D. One should value what he owns before it’s eventually lost.DIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 68. While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger_______.A. can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. only pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. needs to provide good faith demonstration before leaving without paying 69. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Generally, in Finland, workers can get more pay by working long hours.B. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay. 70. The underlined word “those” in Para.5 probably refers to people _______.A. who are on guard against others B. who are dishonestC. who often have meals in big hotels D. who often take taxis 71. It can be concluded that _______.A. Finnish people are really foolish in daily life B. the Finnish society is of very high moral levelC. Finland has been a good place for cheatsD. all the Finns are rich and therefore honest EWhether you were the shy one at high school or the most popular person on campus, starting university is a clean paper for everyone. It’s the best time to develop your skills with different people, such as teachers, classmates, and roommates. Your social skills and relationships with people in college will have an influence long after you graduate.Here are some tips on developing your people skills at college.Put yourself out there and meet new peopleYou’re very likely to make some lifelong friendships at college. But before you get there you have to start by making friends.Upperclassmen and the college itself will organize events to introduce you and your peers to each other and the new college environment. For the purpose of improving your social skills early on, attend every single one.Join clubs that fit your interests. You can meet many people there and it’s a safe bet that you will have something in common.Being active on social networks, such as Renren and micro blogs, is also a good way to meet people, especially if you’re not so good at face-to-face conversation.Always open yourself to conversationYour chances of making new friends depends on your ability to get a friendly atmosphere across.Simple gestures, such as moving your things from a chair when someone is looking for a place in the canteen, can make you seem more open to conversation. You can also take out your earphones when someone asks to share a table with you in the common room while you’re studying.Try to get along with roommatesGetting along with roommates is a challenge you’d be wise to overcome. You live together, so you will often spend time together without even trying to. It’s important to make sure that dorm life doesn’t make you unhappy.You should be cautious about facing your roommates over any problems, especially if you have only just met. Remember, be polite but firm.The key is to set expectations and clear boundaries from the beginning. Let your roommates know your life habits, but also observe and respect theirs. Sleeping times and studying schedules, visiting friends and cleaning duties are just some of the topics you should discuss.Avoid drama and gossip (流言蜚语)As you already know from high school, your social life will be much more pleasant if you avoid causing and getting caught up in drama, no matter whether in class, dorm, or elsewhere.When it comes to gossip, learn to keep your mouth shut and you’ll avoid trouble. This is especially important if you live in a dorm, where staying away from someone you’ve offended is difficult.72. The passage is written specially for ___________________. A. the senior students at college B. the college students and teachers C. the freshmen of universities. D. the parents of college students73. The main purpose of this passage is to ____________________. A. present some information about the campus life B. help improve students’ social skills before entering college C. prepare students for the upcoming college life D. explain what is college life74. From the passage, we can NOT infer that _______________________. A. don’t talk about gossip in public unless the listeners are your close friends. B. if you are a shy boy/girl, you’d better choose social networks as an efficient way to make friends. C. dining in the canteen provides you with a good chance to start a conversation or make friends with others. D. in general, you will find it hard to get along with your roommates or cope with the relationships with them.75. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Tips on spending your college life B. What is college life like? C. A new world is waiting for you D. Prepare your social skills for college life

Conclusion六、书面表达As is known to us all, the process of growing up is complex for every person, for there are many influential factors in the growth of a person. As for me, what has affected me most are family and friends, the two equally important factors. After one is born, the first surroundings is the family in which he will grow up. Family plays a significant role in shaping children’s characters because it’s children’s most direct source of knowledge and experiences. Those who are brought up in good families tend to possess many pleasant characters and vice versa. On the other hand, friends in some ways influence him more rapidly than families do. Friends have many different opinions and personalities. Discussing with them builds up his own personality. Frankly speaking, I get lots of valuable things from my friends. Family offers me warmth and care. Friends give me strength and horizons. Therefore, both of them are the most influential in my growth.
