Luke has always been my closest and constant companion these past five years. In fact, he is
very friendly to me especially when I take care of other furry friends in our shelter.
There have been a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Not far from our shelter, a
forest caught fire during this hot summer. Luke rushed towards the forest where flames send out a
terrible heat. There’s no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Luke to come back to the
shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce me his death in the forest. Suddenly, a
fireman burst into my office and informed me that my dog Luke succeeded in saving four cats
which were trapped by the flames. Luke seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe
place.
I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to pick up the rescued kittens, but Luke
was not there. Then we heard the sound of a dog came from the forest barking furiously. The
firemen followed the tracks of the dog until they found him barking loudly by the side of an
injured fireman who was lying on the ground.
That day, I was very proud of Luke for his two heroic actions. I paid a visit to the fireman
accompanied with my adorable Luke. What a memorable scene when the fireman hugged Luke
tightly to his chest! “One thousand thanks, Luke, for saving my life,” the fireman said.

compassionate. We should love and protect them. Don’ t belittle them. Little animals can make

When it comes to health, it seems that sitting too much may be as bad for you as smoking. A
study suggests that you should get an hour of exercise every day.
Researchers say the exercise can help office workers reduce the risk (风险) of an early death.
Many office workers spend much time sitting. A lack of physical activity is linked to(与…有关)
some 5.3 million deaths worldwide each year.
Ekelund says, "For many people there is no way to escape sitting for a long time, But we pay
attention to the importance of getting exercise." Ekelund suggests going for a run in the morning,
riding a bicycle to work, or taking a walk in the middle of the work day. But if this is not possible,
he suggests doing at least some exercise each day to reduce the risk of disease and an early death.
For the study, researchers looked at 13 earlier studies on the effect of inactivity. People were
grouped according to the amount of activity they reported--from less than 5 minutes a day to up to
75 minutes a day.
The study found that those who sat for eight hours a day but got the suggested amount of
exercise reduced their chances of dying at an early age. These people did better than those who sat
less but were not active.
Ekelund says, "There has been a lot of concern about the health risks." He adds, "It is
possible to reduce these risks if we are active enough, even without taking up sports or going to
the gym,"
8. From what Ekelund says we can learn that________.
A. a bit of exercise is of no value
B. most people can't escape sitting for a long time
C. proper physical activity is good for people's health
D. we all often do sports when at work
9. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Eight hours of sitting a day is a proper amount of activity.
B. There were studies about the connection between inactivity and health.
C. Exercising can prevent people from dying
D. The more we exercise, the less healthy we are.
10. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Smoking is bad for people's health.
B. Many office workers die at an early age.
C. Exercise is good for people sitting too much.
D. Avoiding sitting in the office is very necessary.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A textbook B. A guidebook C. A fashion magazine D. A news report
D
Birds have been observed to sleep while in flight for the first time ever. Because of some
flights that can often last several days, weeks, or even longer, some sea birds have long been
thought of being able to fall fully asleep while “on the wing”, though it was not proven.
Now researchers say they have evidence which shows birds can sleep in flight. Scientists
from Max Planck Institute used a sample of 15 adult female frigatebirds(军舰鸟) to test the sleep
patterns. Each bird had a small electroencephalogram(EEG 脑 电 图 ) sensor fitted to record
changes in the animals’ brain activity as they flew for up to 10 days and over 3,000 kilometres.
The readings showed that during flight the birds could sleep using one hemisphere of the
brain, or both together. It was known that frigatebirds could sleep with one “half” of the brain,
which allows them to keep one eye open and “connected” to the awake half.
According to the research, it is sleeping technique used by birds for finding directions.
“Frigatebirds sleep mostly while circling in rising air and keep the eye connected to the awake
hemisphere facing the direction of flight, suggesting that they watch where they are going,” says
the study.
Despite the ability to fall “fully” asleep, the birds were found to do it less in the air compared
to one land. They slept “very little and less deeply while in flight. This suggests that though it is
possible, falling totally asleep is not very good during flight which will need the bird’s attention.
The researchers said the short sleep could be serving as “power naps” to keep the birds going
until they return to land. Further study could help us understand why lack of sleep affects humans
so badly.
12. The phrase “on the wing” in the first paragraph may mean .
A. sleeping B. flying C.fighting D. thinking
13. Why did the researchers fit the frigatebirds with EEG sensors?
A. To help the birds fly much longer.
B. To get some of the good samples.
C. To know animals’ brain activity.
D. To use the birds to find directions.
14. How do the sleeping birds find the directions?
A.They have a good sleep before they start flying.
B. They sleep less when they are circling in rising air.
C. They pay special attention to the way.
D. They keep one eye connected to the awake part.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Birds Can Sleep in Flight
B. A Study on Birds in Flight
C. Flying Bird’s Brain Activity
D. Sleep With Half of the Brain

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence.
However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process
should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but
he may not understand what it means in everyday life.__ 16__
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his
goals are. 17 Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks needs to
improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. 18 For example, if
your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can
suggest he start by making that his first goal.
19 Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see
and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key to keeping him motivated. A really simple
way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each
step to that goal on the rungs (梯级). 20
A. Change goals every so often.
B. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
C.You can take sports as example to help explain it to him.
D. Make a visual goal reminder.
E. Don’t always tell him what you think.
F. Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.

Dear Daniel,
I’m very sorry to hear that a conflict occurred between you and your mother
because of your Internet addiction.
In my opinion, you should apologize to your mother, as she has done nothing
wrong to prevent you from Internet addiction. Although the Internet plays an
important role in modern life, we can’t ignore its harm to us. Many students spend
most of their time playing computer games or chatting aimlessly with others, which
may not only result in poor health and decline in study but also loss of communication
in the real world.
As students, we should devote our energy to study. When available, you may as
well walk outside with your friends or take some exercise to keep fit instead of
playing online games. Only in this way can you live and study happily and healthily.
Y
ours,
L
