Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first

walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness（孤独） over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch

table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first

week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that

nobody saw her at all!

What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like

talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to

know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them,

and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to

them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.

When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really

worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.

In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is

really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!

Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding

instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and

those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing

allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.

In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very

convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app

on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the

QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection.

You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the

greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where

to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride,

you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?

At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't

value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problems like being stolen.

Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike- sharing brings

us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also

put it to good use.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very

busy trying to make money for my schooling.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（缝被子）.I silently sat beside her.

"Mom, is there love between you and Dad? "I asked in a very low voice.

With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this

thread（线）.It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt,

love should be a thread. Love is inside."

I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick

seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day.

"Dad, how are you feeling now? "I asked him one day.

"Susan, don't worry about me, "he said. "I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of

life." Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

6．阅读理解

Populations of white-tailed deer（白尾鹿） are growing rapidly in many parts of the United

States. As populations grow, food becomes a problem. Many deer die of hunger. Others grow up

small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause

traffic accidents.

People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be

hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?

Should People Take Direct Action?

Many people think that hunting（打猎） is the best way to control the animal populations.

Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）. Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually

not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.

Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this method

is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the

balance of ecosystem（生态系统）.

Scientists are also working to develop chemicals（化学药品） to control the birth rate（率）

in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.

Should People Take Indirect Action?

Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas

with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other

communities have built tall fences（篱笆） around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is

impossible for farmers.

▲

Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal

populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer

will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying

capacity（容量） of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.

（1）According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area.

A. water pollution B. traffic accidents C. serious illnesses D. growing populations

（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the " ▲ " in the passage?

A. Should People Do Nothing? B. Should People Protect the Deer?

C. Should People Take Special Action? D. Should People Drive the Deer Away?

（3）The writer most probably agrees that .

A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer out

B. people should leave the deer alone in the wild

C. hunting is the best way to control the deer populations

D. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places

（4）The writer organizes this passage by .

A. telling stories B. using numbers C. giving opinions D. describing scenes （场景）

Many scientists find that colors can change people's feelings. It's very interesting. Some colors

can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of

knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green

because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are

also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to

make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned

from scientific studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red

furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend

more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard

seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to

communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the

generation gap （代沟）.

Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your

parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express

yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are

unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can

speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't

agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a

compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is

especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your

relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your

own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help

them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth

having a try!

Abdul Sadiq, an Afghanistan's only professional cyclist, began by training his daughter. And

sporting team, because the sport breaks taboos in a country where in many traditional

communities, women are not allowed out of the house.

The head coach faces frequent threats and the girls' families do not always approve "If it's not

their fathers trying to stop them, it's a brother or uncle."

should not sit at home, they need to come out and do sports," said Abdul Sadiq, And 18- year-old

Zainab said she wished that she could just go cycling alone on the street one day. "It's my

ambition, and I hope that one day girls will be allowed to go cycling on the streets, not having a coach, or anyone with them, and they will not have problems," she said.

If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably

not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.

Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or

when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.

When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea

what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay

there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by

teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she

wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.

She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She

was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a

general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting

experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well

spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.

The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise

your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are

when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job

hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty.

Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr.

Kataria. "Everyone is naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to

feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over l,300

in the world.

Many doctors are also interested in the effects （效果） of laughter on our health. According

to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in

the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find

out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn't interested in laughing

with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to

clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies

can't tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same

healthy effects.

Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and

some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed-and

comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with

the results!

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to

communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to

bridge generation gap（代沟）.

Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents

probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them You can't express（表达）

yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you

are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can

speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree（有分歧） on

something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's

mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a

compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is

especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your

relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your

own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help

them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth

having a try.
