My son was badly hurt in a fire．After he 1from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 2it took long for the skin to stop shrinking（收缩）．So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 3on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton, 4will pay any more attention to your scar 5you do．If it does not bother you, it will not bother 6.” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 7high — glad he was alive.

But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your 11, or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false 12.

The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life．I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid．It was Carlos.
“My God, you’re tall,” he said.
Of course, the class began to laugh．Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest．That would be the last straw．But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else．I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend．Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I．Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington.
“Take that seat，” Mr．McCarthy told the cocky newcomer Carlos，pointing to the only empty one，in the back of the room.
Carlos grinned, “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos，not at him．He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.
It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again．Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president．“How come ?” I kept asking myself, “How come this shrimp who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?”
So that morning，I stopped Carlos and said，“It doesn’t seem to bother you — being short.” He looked up at me, “Of course I mind being short．But there isn’t anything I can do about it．When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin，I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,” I admitted, “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself．You’re smart．And you could be pretty．In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red…
1.The author was angry because ________.
A．the class made fun of her B．Carlos was too rude to her

2.Which of the following about Carlos is NOT TRUE?
A．He was popular.
B．He was new in the school.

D．He was chosen president in the school elections.

A．Carlos and the author have become good friends
B．the author will be more confident
C．Carlos always encouraged the author
D．the author was tall
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A．How to be popular B．A tall girl

Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog．It might understand more than you think.
A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany．The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child．Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.
In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects．Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back．In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew．The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked
out the answer by process of elimination（排除法）．A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive．
Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog．For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed （品种）known for its mental abilities．In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say．Even if they do, they can't talk back．Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then．You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
1.From paragraph 2 we know that __ .
A．animals are as clever as human beings
B．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills
C．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees
D．dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children
2.Both experiments show that________.
A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right
B．Rico can recognize different things including toys
C．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics
D．Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them
3.Which of the following statements is true?
A．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.
B．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.
C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.
D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.
4.What does the writer want to tell us?
A．To train your dog． B．To talk to your dog.
C．To be careful with your dog． D．To be friendly to your dog.

The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes （假货） after “Shanzhai Cellphones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.
Besides “Shanzhai” has electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve．
“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, symbolizing anything that imitates something famous．The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat.
In southwestern China’s Chongqing Municipality, a “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention and the “Shanzhai” version “Water Cube” is popular with tourists too．Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.
Xie Xizhang, a literature critic, said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears naturally to attract people．“In spite of its poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” Xie said.
Tian Huiqun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that “Shanzhai” culture never copies classic things, only trendy products．In that sense, it’s like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning.
Though controversial, “Shanzhai” culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon.
To the mainstream culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge as well as a motivation, said Xie．Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose.
1.The Chinese Word“Shanzhai”may have its origin in _________.
A．fake cellphones B．electronic products
C．Spring Festival Gala D．Olympics buildings
2.The underlined word “imitates” is closest in meaning to _______.
A．steals B．copies C．advertises D．cheats
3.According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ________.
A．The action that a person imitates famous people
B．anything that imitates something famous
C．those similar names to famous brand
D．products with poor techniques and quality
4.We can infer that the mainstream culture ________.
A．will be held back by “Shanzhai” culture
B．will sooner or later be replaced by “Shanzhai”culture
C．may develop faster because of the challenging of “Shanzhai”culture
D．thinks nothing of the challenge of “Shanzhai”culture

College libraries are designed primarily for research and study．To explain its use, let us choose a research topic and follow the step-by-step procedure of looking up the material for the paper．
Suppose your assignment is to write a paper on a novel called “The Sun Also Rises” by American writer Hemingway．The first step is to go to the main catalog．Many small drawers on the large wooden cabinets are lined up in alphabetical（字母的） order．Each of the drawers contains hundreds of alphabetical ordered cards．These cards are printed references to all material available in the library．Title cards are cataloged （为…编目录 ） by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like “a”, “an” and “the”．And then you get the cards for the books you need．On the upper left corner of each card is the call number．This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library．The library has open and closed stacks．If your book is on the open stacks, you can go to the open-stack room, and according to the call number find it out by yourself．There are only about 30,000 books on open stacks, while most of the 800,000 books in our library are kept in closed stacks, which are accessible only to teachers and graduate students.
For undergraduates like you, borrowing books from the closed stacks have to be done with the help of our librarian．In that case, you must fill out a call slip（纸条） for the book, showing the call number, author and title．You can get call slips on tables near the catalog cabinets．You show your call slip together with your library card to a librarian at the information desk．He or she will help you find the book out in the closed stacks.
1.What is the main purpose of this text?
A．To present readers a brief introduction to a college library．
B．To guide readers how to find books needed in a college library.

以下是五位专家的建议。请匹配这些建议及对应的生活感想或经验介绍（A、B、C、D、E和F）。选项中有一项是多余选项。请将答案代号（A、B、C、D、E、F）写在答题卷81~85的相应位置上。
1.You should watch where your weight accumulates．You can use the waist to hip ratio to find if there is too much fat around the middle．Belly fat is especially dangerous because it release free fatty acids directly to the liver, virtually flooding it with fat.
2.If a particular food is important to you, eat it, but work it off．You should try to learn the art of compromise.
3.At the same time．the three-for-one is relatively simple to use．Fat grams and calories are listed on almost all boxed, canned or packaged foods —— you have only to read the label and follow the rule．A five-year-old patient of mine can do this.
4.Drinking water is basic, and drinking enough of it is necessary．Patients are sometimes surprised that basic things work when they do them consistently.
5.Consume antioxidant foods．They protect the cholesterol （胆固醇）, from oxidative damage, which helps prevent damage to blood…vessel walls.
A．More than nine years ago I was 70 pounds overweight and wore a very big dress．I had tried different diets and lost weight only to gain it back．Finally a simple “three-for-one’’ fat rule worked for me：consuming no more than three grams of fat for every 100 calories per serving．Following the rule and eating only foods that contain less than 30 percent fat, I spent eight months getting down to a size seven, and I’ve kept the weight off for nine years.
B．And for foods that aren’t packaged, you rely on what we already know about them．Red meat, as well as dishes made or served with butter, gravy, cream sauce or cheese, are almost never less than 30 percent fat——so you just don’t eat them．On the other hand, some non-packed foods——all fruits and vegetables except avocadoes and olives——always pass the test．So do most fish, but not when fried.
C．I like vegetables, which are rich in vitamins．Most foods containing vitamins C and E（such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, spinach and broccoli）are low in calories and are known as antioxidants（抗氧化物质）．They can help reduce the possibility to develop hardening the arteries（动脉）.
D．I gain weight around the belly—what we call abdominal obesity, the worst kind．The tendency seems to be hereditary（遗传的）, and it’s common among men．This problem increases the risk of a stroke or heart attack．A guide I use in estimating belly fat is the waist-to-hip ratio or WHR．To find yours, divide the circumference（周围）of your waist by the circumference of your hips．Women with ratios above 0.8 and men with ratios above 1.0 are at increased health risk.
E．My ways of keeping healthy are very simple, and they are among our everyday activities：eating healthy food and doing exercise．In addition, I manage to do those basic things, such as drinking water, sleeping well and eating less fat．Sometimes I do some of the other things I used to do in my life like walking for half an hour a day.
F．Although I've put on ten pounds．I'm healthy and in good shape．I eat food that’s good for me…but 1 work off Susan’s homemade brownies（巧克力蛋糕）, for example．To offset these extra calories, 1 walk for an hour or more, three times a week…often with Susan．We’re both busy and this is one way we have some quiet time together．Equally important, it permits me to practice dieting’s fine art of compromise.
