In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.
The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty（贫穷）is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening , but not always.
Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step-parent.
Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police , being accused（指控）, whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.
Some cynics（愤世嫉俗的人）declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?
1.According to the text, what causes some people to be homeless?
A. The increased standard of living B. No government help
C. Agreement with their parents D. Lack of money
2.It can be inferred from the text that_______.
A. you will not find homeless people in countries with a high standard of living
B. the mentally ill live on the streets because they want the company of other homeless people.
C. the unemployed who receive help may still be among the homeless
D. the homeless are willing to live under a bridge or in a cardboard box
3.In paragraph 2, “a roof over their heads” most probably means _______.
A. a home B. a cap C. a car D. a covering
4.The author thinks that the homeless people are ______.
A. admirable B. respectable C. troublesome D. pitiful

The world we live in is becoming increasingly complex and uncertain. And with it, the conventional thinking of yesterday is no longer sufficient. Creating real breakthrough opportunities requires a fundamental change in our thinking. As Einstein said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
There's no better example of this than the myth of the four-minute mile.
For centuries, runners had been attempting to run a mile in under four minutes. In the 1950s, the attempt to break the barrier took on renewed importance, and a number of famous runners publicly and unsuccessfully attempted the challenge. Many of the newspapers of the day began to question whether humans would ever be able to run a sub-four-minute mile. Then, in 1954, a man named Roger Bannister did the unthinkable. He broke through the imaginary barrier, running the mile in 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. It was an amazing achievement.
But here's what's really interesting: it was only forty-six days later that another runner broke Bannister's record. And the following year, two new runners broke the four-minute mark in the same race. Dozens followed, and as of this writing, more than 1,400 runners have accomplished the goal, including one runner who ran two miles in less than eight minutes.
Did something change with respect to human body, track conditions, weather patterns, running shoes, or the human diet between the start of Bannister's race and the few years that followed? No. So what explains the sudden and dramatic explosion of athletic achievement?
The myth's unimaginable power over runners had lifted. What Bunnister had done was not just break the four — minute — mile barrier; he shattered(粉碎)the myth that created the barrier in the first place. This paradigm (榜样)had offered a set of actions available for runners to take. Runners were really free to run through the invented boundary.
Creating breakthroughs requires shattering the myths that limit our imagination and lock us into conventional thinking. Think about your own situation. What myths are you stuck in? And what would be possible if you had the courage to challenge the myths?
1.What is needed to create breakthroughs?
A.Conventional thinking. B.Changes in our thinking.
C.Complex situation. D.Einstein's encouragement.
2.What was the real barrier that kept runners succeeding in the four-minute mile?
A.The belief that it was unachievable.
B.Lack of professional training.
C.The poor track conditions.
D.Lack of sufficient diet.
3.The example of Roger Bannister is used to .
A.list a new record in the race B.prove newspapers are wrong
C.show barrier can be broken D.call on us to learn from him
4.What does the writer try to explain in Paragraph 6?
A.The power of the myth.
B.The achievements of Bannister.
C.The importance of running freely.
D.The significance of breaking barriers.
5.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Creating Breakthroughs B.Accepting the Myths
C.Locking Your Imagination D.Becoming the Best Athlete

With rapid increase of economic rate in western countries, more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime, many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining. But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.
Of course, a small family has its advantages. Firstly, small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their children. Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several. The child could grow up in an influential environment. Secondly, the child could learn more survival skills for future success.
However, ________. The only child becomes the little emperor. It would make the one child ask more for him and think less of others. Besides, after the child grows up and gets married, the new couple has to take care of four old parents. That means the two children must work hard to support the old parents. At present, many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society. China will face this situation in a short time to come.
On the contrary, a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects. Firstly, parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one. Moreover, the old brothers or sisters also could help their parents bring up little children. Secondly, if one of the children turns out to be successful, it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.
Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children, it is not as difficult as people think it to be. With the help of good educational system and modern technology, it is becoming easier to afford several children.
1.What is the writer's attitude whether it is good to grow up in a big family? （no more than 10 words.）
________
2.Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.
________
3.What's the main idea of the second paragraph? （no more than 10 words.）
________
4. Please fill in the blank with proper words or phrases. （no more than 10 words.）
5.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Although parents need more time and money to raise several children, it’s easier than it’s thought to be.
