A
It was the first day of second grade, and Sarah had been looking forward to this moment. The night before, she laid out her favorite clothes: a white coat and a bright yellow shirt.
When having breakfast, Sarah dropped some food on her shirt, so she had to change into her second-best clothes, blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.
After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and when she was just reaching the door the bus driver opened it. The door hit right in Sarah’s face and blood dripped from her nose. The driver wanted to send her home, but she refused, "It is the most important day of the year! I can’t miss it!"
Before classes, Sarah went to her favorite swing. When rising high, she saw her best friend little Jack. She let go of the swing and waved to him with one hand. Unfortunately, she flew out of the swing and landed hard on the sand, breaking a leg and an arm. As she lay in the sand, she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her. With her good hand she took it.
When Sarah’ mother rushed into the ward she was surprised by what she saw: her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a leg in the splint (夹板), a broken nose, and
- 14 -
blood stains on her second-best clothes. Expecting to see her child crying, she was confused when she saw a big, bright smile on Sarah’s face.
"Sarah, look at you!" her mother cried. "You were hurt so badly and why are you smiling?"
"Look, Mommy, I found a diamond!" Sarah laughed.
Life can be like that. It can be tough, even painful sometimes. But there are always treasures that make the pain worth suffering.

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.
Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your
- 14 -
room, think about the color carefully.
29. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .
A. cultural values B. commercial purposes
C. personal experiences D. physical reactions to the color
30. Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button?
A. To relax people physically.
B. To increase people’s appetites.
C. To encourage people to buy the goods.
D. To cause a person’s blood pressure to rise.
31. What color might help lose weight according to the text?
A. Red. B. Green. C. Blue. D. Purple.
D
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 (使…快活) me up, my laugh turned into crying.
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) 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 more friendly and they are more ready to offer 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 lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. 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 — and healthy — emotional response.
32. 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.
33. It can be inferred (推断) from the text that ______.
A. there are two ways to keep healthy
B. laughing does more good to health than crying
C. crying and laughing play the same roles
D. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
34. What might the underlined word “fight” in the last paragraph mean?
A. come back B. pay back C. hold back D. give back
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Power of Tears B. How to Keep Healthy
- 14 -
C. Why We Cry D. A New Scientific Discovery

Do you know that over ten million American kids go to camp every summer? 36 Back then, before the air conditioner was invented, hot city summers were uncomfortable and even unhealthy for children, so escaping to the country for a few weeks became a popular trend.
Today, kids have different reasons for making camp a part of their lives, such as:
To meet new people
Camp might give you a chance to be with people from different states, or even different countries. It's a great way to make new friends and learn about different places and cultures. Michiko, 13, put it like this:"I loved camp. I met this girl named Manny who lives in New York (I live in New Jersey) and she is cool. 37 We taught each other words. We liked to swim in the pool a lot."
To challenge yourself
38 Fresh challenges--like trying new sports, learning new crafts and games, or pushing yourself to achieve something—can be very rewarding. Take it from Arabella, 13, who told us:"I went to summer camp and I passed my swimming test! I can hardly swim, so it was a big accomplishment. 39 "
To appreciate nature
There's a great big natural world out there, and going to camp helps you learn how beautiful and important it really is. 40 Getting out into the woods or mountains can give you a better understanding of how the web of life works.
A. Not all the things that kids do at camp are easy.
B. She speaks Spanish and I speak Japanese.
C. I felt great afterwards.
D. It's also a great way to learn about teamwork and tolerance(包容).
E. Summer camp has been a U.S. tradition for over 150 years.
F. When you get right down to it, going to camp is all about having a good time.
G. Without trees, soil, water, and wildlife, the Earth couldn't survive.

A Terrible Typhoon
On August 8th this year, a great typhoon hit Putian City of Fujian Province, destroying a great number of houses and buildings. The electrical and water lines were even cut off, which made the victims’ life more difficult. Until now the number of the injured and the dead has reached more than several hundred and there are still quite a few people missing. Luckily, the army has been sent there to help clean the streets which were ruined in the flood and to find the possible survivors.
After the terrible disaster, medicines, food, tents and a great number of raincoats are badly needed. Now, the government is calling on people throughout the country to offer their help to the victims.

(Text 2)
M: Good morning, Mrs. Page. How’s your arm?
W: Oh, it’s all right. I’ve already forgotten about it! It’s my neck that hurts! Look, Doctor! I can’t turn my head!
M: Let’s have a look. Sit down over here, please.
(Text 3)
W: The ticket for the concert is too expensive! Thirty pounds!
M: Yes, it isn’t cheap. Last year the tickets were only twenty-three pounds. So are you going to stay at home?
W: No, I’m going to the school play. The ticket is just three pounds.
(Text 4)
M: Gill, guess who I saw yesterday in the museum shop! Your cousin — the one who was working at that health club last summer …

(Text 6)
W: Hi, Tom. I’ll have to leave school at the end of the first lesson to see a doctor.

W: That’s great. Thank you.

M: Very nice! So what did you buy for me? You know I need a new sweater.
W: Sorry, Dad. Mum bought a hat, but there’s nothing for you!

M: Working with you? Tell me something about the job.
W: Well, it’s full-time, five days a week, during my whole summer holiday. I get four pounds fifty an hour, but at first you’ll get four pounds. Some people get five pounds.
M: Is there somewhere to eat near the shop, or do you take something from home for your lunch?
W: Most days I take sandwiches from home. There’s a park around the corner and I usually eat them in the park.
M: Perhaps I’ll go to see your dad. Where is the shop exactly?
W: It’s in Pine Street.
M: Thanks, Anna. Goodbye. Wish me luck!

W: A party? Do you like loud music, and food everywhere?
M: Well, but Grandpa will like. You know he’s a jazz fan.
W: OK. Where will we have it?
M: Hm, our house, I suppose. Hotels are expensive — and it’s too cold for a garden party at this time of year.
W: What food shall we have?
M: Oh, I’ll make some pizzas, and I’m sure grandma will make a birthday cake. Would you like to make some salads?
W: Yes. OK. And what present can I give him?
M: Let’s think. I’m giving him a scarf and I know grandpa has bought a hat last month, so not those. What about a book? He reads a lot.
W: OK. Oh, when will the party be?
M: Well, his birthday’s on Thursday, so we could do it on Friday — no, Saturday. That’s the best day for a party.

W: Hello. This is a recorded message from the Cambridge Sports Centre. There is nobody here to speak to you right now, but please listen to this important information.
The centre is open Monday to Friday from eight o’clock in the morning until ten at night and from 9:00 in the morning until 7 in the evening on Saturdays and Sundays. Many sports are available here, for example, basketball, tennis and football. And considering the popularity of tennis last year, we have increased 2 coaches this year. You don’t need your own equipment, because we have equipment for you and you can check the prices on the notice board. But you’d better bring your own drinks.
If you buy a six-month season ticket for fifty pounds, we have a special gift for you. With your six-month ticket, we will give you a free T-shirt from our new sports clothes shop. And one more thing to remember: we can only accept credit card bookings. It’ll be more convenient than by check and you don’t have to take too much cash on you.
Thank you for calling the Cambridge Sports Centre. See you soon!
