So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.
4.The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.recover B.develop
C.accept D.replace
5.In the author's opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.
A.we can turn small issues into big ones

A.let go of our own rights
B.realize that you are wrong
C.expect others to give in
D.apologize to others first
7.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Be Peaceful B.Reach Out and Give

The number of American students who learned a language other than English decreased by about 100,000 between 2009 and 2013. For many, taking a class in economics might seem more beneficial than a French course. But is it real?
The Chinese dialects combined already have more native speakers than any other language, followed by Hindi and Urdu. English comes next with 527 million native speakers. Arabic is spoken by nearly 100 million more native speakers than Spanish, which has 389 million speakers.
Which languages will dominate the future? Predictions vary, depending on your location and purpose.
You want to make money in growth markets? These will be your languages.
A recent U.K.focused report features languages spoken in the socalled BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China—that are usually known as the world's biggest emerging economies. Hindi, Bengali, Urdu and Indonesian will control much of the business world by 2050, followed by Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian. If you want to get the most money out of your language course, studying one of the languages listed above is probably a safe bet.
You want to speak to as many people as possible? How about Chinese, Spanish or French?
1.Chinese. Although Chinese has three times more native speakers than English, it's still not as evenly spread over the world. Moreover, Chinese is rarely used in sciences and difficult to read and write.
2. Spanish. Spanish makes up for a lack of native speakerscompared with China—by being particularly popular as a second language, taught in schools around the world.
3. French. French has lost grounds in some regions and especially in Europe in the last decades. French, however, could gain influence again if west Africa where it is frequently spoken were to become more politically stable and economically attractive.
8.How many native speakers of Arabic are there?
A.100 million. B.389 million.
C.489 million. D.527 million.
9.Those who want to make money in growth market might be more interested in ________.
A.Spanish, Arabic and Chinese
B.Bengali, Urdu and Indonesian
C.Portuguese, German and French
D.Japanese, Italian and Chinese
10.What do we know about Spanish from the passage?
A.It is learnt mostly by themselves.
B.It's popular as a second language.
C.It is widely spoken by native speakers.
D.It will be spoken most in the business world
11.What's the author's attitude towards foreign language learning?
A.Favorable. B.Negative. C.Doubtful. D.Neutral.
D
According to a survey, only 4% of the people in the world are left-handed. Why? One theory centers on the two halves of the brain. For example, the left half and the right half, each of which functions differently. Medical science believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves from the other side of the brain reciprocate (互换). The end result is that the opposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain.
The dominant left half of the brain, which kindly supplies the right half of the body, theoretically makes it more skillful in reading, writing, speaking, and working, and makes most people right-handed. Lefties, however, whose right half of the brain
dominates, work best with the left side of their bodies.
Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body. Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the right side of our faces differs slightly from the left, that our legs differ in strength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left.
There is no doubt that all exist in a “right-handed society”, which produces most basics, including scissors, doorknobs, locks, screwdrivers, automobiles, buttons on clothing, and musical instruments for the 96%. Left-handed people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite (精英) society, which includes many of the greatest geniuses, including Michelangelo and Leonardo
Davinci.
12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Left-handed people are better at speaking
B. Left-handed people are believed to have stronger left halves of the brains
C. Right-handed people work best with the right side of their bodies
D. Right-handed people are cleverer than left-handed people
13. Which of the words or phrases is closest in meaning to the word “asymmetrical”?
A. not balanced B. valuable C. not typical D. negative
14. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. This is an equal society for the left-handed people
B. Most great geniuses are left-handed
C. Left-handed people are considered to be disabled
D. Left-handed people may feel inconvenient in this right-handed society
15. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Which proves to be the better way to live, right-handed or left-handed?
B. How do left-handed people differ from right-handed ones?
C. Are left-handed people equally treated in society?
D. Why are some people left-handed?

范文:
On the afternoon of May 25th an charity sale was held by the Student Union on our school playground. Although it was hard work, students actively took part.
In order to organize it successfully, we made full preparations. Before the sale, from the students we collected various used books, second-hand goods which were still in good condition and classified them. When the day came, students and teachers all came and took an active part in it. At the end of the activity, we raised 5000 yuan in total.
All the money we raised will go to the students from poor families in our school to help finish their studies. It’s such a meaningful activity that students are all looking forward to the next charity sale.
