It’s generally agreed that heroes are great and always admired by common people. However, most of us have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero usually put others before and does his/her best to help people in need. A hero has a special story to tell and is thought highly of by people.
But a hero is not just the person with great fame (名声). A hero has powers larger than himself/herself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.
A hero has a vision (视野) from the mountaintop. He/She has the power to move people. He/She creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colors of their skin.
There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.
1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.How to be a hero. B.What a hero is like.
C.The fame of a hero. D.The lifestyle of a hero.
2.What is a sure test for people who want to be heroes?
A.What or whom they serve. B.Money they make in all.
C.Experience they get for life. D.How or when to serve others.
3.Why did Americans take different buses before Martin Luther King, Jr.?
A.Because they liked different buses.
B.Because of the rules of bus companies.
C.Because of the different colors of their skin.
D.Because they made different amount of money.
4.What can we learn from the text?
A.We don’t need heroes any more.
B.People living just for fame can be heroes.
C.Heroes make the society develop slowly.
D.Heroes are able to create new possibilities.

In recent years, experiments examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose far much less weight than expected, considering how many additional calories(卡路里) they are burning with their workouts.
Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more after working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise.
To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light(红外线) to track mice’s movements in their cages. Then software can use that information to analyse their daily physical activity.
So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice roam(闲逛) and explore for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information about how many calories each mouse burned every day.
Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run at will, and they could decide how much to eat and when to get off the wheels, walking around. The mice,which enjoyed running, jumped readily on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run for hours. They showed a following height in their daily energy expenditure(支出) since they had added exercise to their lives.
But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved. They now usually jogged on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or roamed in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, briefly roamed, and it repeated. These changes in how they spent their time almost counteracted(抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, who led the new study.
What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. ''But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time; wheel running is not arduous for mice, and does not fill their waking hours.'' Dr. Lark says.
Instead, he says, it is likely that the animals’ bodies and brains sensed the increasing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out biological signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down, save energy and lose weight.
Mice will never be people, of course, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to us, Dr. Lark says. But the results do indicate that if we hope to lose more weight through, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we work out more.
1.What did NOT change for the mice in the experiment?
A.How they moved. B.How long they ran.
C.How much they chose to eat. D.How they spent their time.
2.What happened to the mice in the experiment according to the 6th paragraph?
A.They didn't like to run the wheels. B.They ate more after running the wheels.
C.They spent less time roaming in the cage. D.They didn't need rest after running the wheels.
3.The underlined word ''arduous'' in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _______.
A.tiring B.energetic C.difficult D.different
4.Which of the following statements may Dr. Lark agree with?
A.Wheel running costs the same amount of energy as roaming does.
B.The mice ran more because they really wanted to lose weight.
C.The experiment is a failure because the results don't apply to humans.
D.It might not be tiredness that caused the mice to run less.
5.The purpose of writing this passage is _______.
A.to prove that scientists' guess about exercising is wrong
B.to introduce a recent research on exercise and weight loss
C.to analyze how wheel running changes mice's movements
D.to explain why eating and running are bad for exercisers

One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, a young boy showed up in my office.
It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had introduced him to me before. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems which psychology doesn’t have answers to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and silently. And I would do in this way.
The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering. ” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
“It’s your turn,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I have also learned that one — without any words — can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
1.What was David like when the writer first met him?
A.He was very nervous. B.He was in deep sorrow.
C.He was mentally troubled. D.He was frightened by the writer.
2.What do we know from the third paragraph?
A.The writer didn’t know what to do. B.The writer had a plan to help David.
C.The writer decided to keep silent. D.The writer couldn’t solve the problem.
3.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The writer cheated when playing chess. B.David never looked at the writer.
C.Chess healed David’s wounded heart. D.The writer gave his chess to David.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.A boy fixed his mental problem by playing chess. B.A psychologist should be good at listening.
C.A calm mind helps solve problems. D.A listening ear matters in helping others.
