They were surprised that all the cups on the table were different. They all took a cup and started drinking their tea, each looking at the cups of the others. The teacher said: “Do you notice your behavior? You are all looking at each other’s teacup and some of you even envy (羡慕) the finer cups of others. “I put the different cups here on purpose. Life is like this tea. You all have the same thing in your cups – tea. And yet you cannot truly enjoy it in your envy of another’s cup.

He used to go hungry or have only an ear of corn for lunch at noon. But now, Gao and his classmates have better food and vegetable dishes for free every day, thanks to the free lunch program. The program was started by Deng Fei, a journalist at the Phoenix Weekly (《凤凰 周刊》). Early this year, Deng met Xiao Yu, a primary school teacher from Guizhou, and was told that students in Xiao’s school didn’t have lunch to eat. Instead, they drank water to lessen their hunger. Deeply shocked, Deng decided to do something for kids in the poor areas. He posted a message on his microblog (微博) saying he wanted to build a canteen at Xiao’s school. The message soon got the support and attention of tens of thousands of people around the country. In March, some 500 reporters, along with a dozen news organizations and charity funds (慈善 基 金 ), finally set up the free lunch program. Local teachers and foundation workers calculated that one lunch for one child costs 3 yuan. People can donate for a meal, a month’s worth of meals, or a year’s worth of meals for children on the Internet by going to http://www.mianfeiwucan.org /. According to the China Development Research Foundation( 基 金 会 ), there are about 23 million resident students (住宿生) in central and western rural areas. Many of them come from poor families and can’t afford nutritious lunches. Now, schools with kids that can’t afford lunch can apply for help through the free lunch program’s official website. In half a year, the program has raised more than 16 million yuan, providing free lunches for poor students in 77 schools. 24 汉字 279 w 53. The free lunch program was started by _____.

More than 16 million yuan reached the free lunch program soon. D. A poor student can go to a special site on the Internet for free lunches. D Heredity is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. Our skin color depends to a great extent on how much sunshine we get. During the cold winter months, people keep themselves covered. A group of light-colored people will all seem to be pretty much the same color in these months. But when summer arrives and they go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and a few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan. Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan. During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines, and mills. Working for long hours in dingy-lit factories and mines made their skins pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get a tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth. In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sunlamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotion (乳液) that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West India and get his suntan there. But his lowest-paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle of a few cents. So there are three answers to the question "Where does our color come from?" It comes from the genes we inherit. It comes from the conditions in which we live. And it can come from a bottle that we buy at the drugstore on the corner. 364 w 56. What can we infer from the passage? A. In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. B. In the past, English peasants had the same tan as the noblemen. C. The more we lie on the beach, the more tanned our skins get. D. At one time people needed a tan skin to show they were wealthy. 57. What does the word “tan” in Paragraph 2 best mean? A. Getting thirsty. B. Getting tired. C. Getting hot. D. Getting brown. 北京一对一上门家教品牌 家教电话：010—62561255 58. How many different ways do western people use to give their skin a tan? B A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 59. What is the passage mainly about? C A. Our skin color depends on how much sunshine we get. B. Our skin color changes with the conditions in which we live. C. Our skin color depends on where and how we live besides heredity. D. People’s attitude towards their skin color changes with time and people. 阅读文本词数总量：873 w 四、阅读还原句子 阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空 白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 A police officer pulled a car over.

If your answer is yes, you may be under stress. Stress is a normal physical response (反应) to things that make people feel worried. In China, 70 percent of the 2,000 students about to take the college or high school entrance examination are under high stress, according to a recent survey by Wuhan University of Hubei province.[来源:] Sometimes stress is good for people. It pushes people to do their best, like while getting ready before a big competition or exam. However, too much or long-term stress makes people feel a stress overload (负荷过多), and affects people’s health. When you feel stressed, there are some ways you can deal with ( 处 理 ) it. Learning to solve small problems in everyday life is helpful. It can help build confidence to move on to life’s bigger ones. Try saying positive things to yourself, like “I will do the best that I can,” or “I can manage this if I take one step at a time.” That encourages you to work toward your goal. It is also important to relax sometimes, for example by getting a good night’s sleep, doing exercises or taking a bath. But if you are under high stress and can’t handle it by yourself, it is also good to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. Don’t be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. They may comfort you or give you some useful advice. You may feel better just from sharing your problems with them. 271 w 64. Is stress a normal physical response to the worry? 65. Who did a survey about stress in middle school students recently? 66. In what way is stress good for people? 67.
