Memories of people who have done us wrong return repeatedly to us from time to time. Sometimes we remain angry with a person even though we have forgotten why we are angry in the first place. Learning to forgive is important. Here is why.

As humans, it is one of our weaknesses to lose our minds at times and give in to our anger. However, making that anger stay and feeding it with hate will make it a bad thing to others and to yourself. You have to manage your anger and know how to overcome it. If someone has done wrong to you, forgiving is the first step to get rid of your anger.

You may have once done wrong to others too. Now think if you are worth forgiving. You may find that you are actually a good person. So if someone else does wrong to you, focus on the good times you had together and the good things that he or she has done for you. Is the offence enough to erase the good things he or she has done in the past? When your nerves calm down, think back. There must have been something good there to stop you from hating the person.

If things do not work out and you stay angry with the person or the person refuse to apologize, you still have to make an effort to forgive. Why? That is because an angry person is not a pleasant person to be with. One day you will find yourself talking about the offence over and over to people who do not know the person you are talking about. Anger consumes a person and eventually takes over. It makes you look at things in a bad way and no one can stand being with someone like that.

Lastly, make sure that you have forgiven every offence before going to sleep at night. If someone has hurt you, tell them how you feel. And the most important thing you have to say is “You have hurt me, but I choose to forgive you.” This will give you an inner peace and make your life positive in every way.

1.What is the weakness of humans mentioned in paragraph 2?

A.Letting anger take control of us. B.Never trying to forgive others.

C.Doing wrong to people around us. D.Hurting ourselves and those we love.

2.By saying we may have once done wrong to others too, the author wants to _______________.

A.show we are no better than others B.encourage us to be kind to others

C.show it’s normal to hurt each other D.encourage us to find the good things in others

3.What does the underlined word “erase” mean in paragraph 3?

A.Strengthen B.Enrich C.Remove D.Improve

4.According to the author, how can we benefit from forgiving others?

A.We’ll know better about others. B.We’ll become a talkative person.

C.We’ll be forgiven by those hurt by us. D.We’ll avoid becoming a negative person.

5.The passage mainly talks about_______________.

A.why we should forgive B.how we can forgive

C.why we should forget D.how we can control anger

Children really need to know some basic first aid skills. This is true whether your child is four or fourteen. So what should you teach your children?

Calling for help

Once your child reaches the age of four, he should know all about calling 911 in the event of an emergency. Explain all about what a real emergency is. For example, he should call 911 if an adult asks him to, if an adult passes out and cannot be woken, if there is a fire and he can’t find an adult, or if people are hurt.

As I am typing this, I just realized that although my kids are taught about 911, the telephones in the house are out of reach for all but my oldest child (to prevent the other two from playing with the phone). Don’t make this mistake yourself, or your children wouldn’t get in touch with the police in time.

Cuts and scrapes (擦伤)

Teach children about basic care for cuts and scrapes. In my house, the kids all know that cuts must be cleaned and know where the bandages are. They also know how to put pressure on a cut to make it stop bleeding. Of course they should ask an adult for help, but they should also know a bit about self care. Believe it or not, I had to help a teenage neighbor once who had no idea what to do when he cut his hand on broken glass. He just ran around in a circle.

Burns

Tell your child that if he ever gets a burn, he should immediately call for help and then run the cool but not cold water for the burn. Getting a burn cooled down quickly can reduce the damage to the skin. This is important if no adult is with your child when a burn occurs.

1.What should children be taught at 4 according to the author?

A.To call out parents’names. B.To get help from the police.

C.To know what a real emergency is. D.To remember some phone numbers.

2.What does the underlined part“this mistake”refer to?

A.Letting kids play with the phone. B.Stopping kids from using the phone.

C.Not telling kids to call 911. D.Keeping the phone out of kids’reach.

3.What does the example of the author’s teenage neighbor mainly tell us?

A.Getting help is very important. B.Even teenagers can cut their hands.

C.Not all teenagers are good at self care. D.We should be prepared to help others.

4.What should we do if we get a burn?

A.Look for the bandages. B.Put some ice on the burn.

C.Cool the burn under water. D.Wait for rescuers patiently.

5.What’s the text mainly for?

A.Kids. B.Parents. C.Teachers. D.Students

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential (必要的)for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital (有必要的) to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the person himself. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously important for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more early days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises  (危机) we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but how little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we

need to find ways to deal with it.

1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because

A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves

B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

C. they are traveling fast all the time

D. they are becoming busier with their work

2.According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his__________.

A. not fearing stress

B. knowing the art of relaxation

C. high sense of responsibility

D. having control over performance

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A. We can find some ways to avoid stress.    B. Stress is always harmful to people.

C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.

D. Different people can withstand different amount of stress.

4.In the last sentence of the passage “do so” refers to__________.

A. "expose ourselves to stress"

B. "find ways to deal with stress"

C. "remove stress from our lives"

D. "establish links between diseases and stress”

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.

Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.

That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.

We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.

We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.

I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.

1.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home?

A. She needn’t stop on the way.

B. It would be faster and easier.

C. Her kids would feel less confined.

D. She felt better with other drivers nearby.

2.What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6 ?

A. Freeways are where beauty hides.

B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life

C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health

D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals

3.Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home

A. To give herself some time to read

B. To order some food for them

C. To play a game with them.

D. To let them cool down

4.What could be the best title for the passage

A. Charm of the Detour

B. The Road to Bravery

C. Creativity out of Necessity

D. Road trip and Country Life

From the health point of view we are living in a wonderful age. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of people on the roads. Man is opposite to the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people are killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.

It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering-wheel(方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man's worst character. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are rude, ill-mannered and aggressive. All their hidden frustrations and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.

The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to forgive the behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities and towns are made ugly by huge car parks.

It is high time a world law were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. A law which was universally accepted could only have a beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be made to a fixed standard and far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21 ; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Driving speed should be limited on all roads. These measures may sound rather severe. But surely nothing should be considered difficult if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.

1.The main idea of this passage is______.

A. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists

B. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents

C. thousands of people in the world are killed each year

D. the laws of some countries about driving are too strict

2.Which of the following is right according to the passage?

A. It is right to build huge car parks in cities and towns.

B. Society ignores their rude driving.

C. Working by car can save time and money.

D. All the drivers must be asked to take a test every year.

3.Why does the author say" his car becomes the extension of his personality" ?

A. Driving can show his temper.

B. Driving can bring out his good character.

C. Driving can make a man excited and joyful.

D. Driving can show his real self.

4.The attitude of the author is______.

A. critical　　 B. approving　　 C. selfish　　 D. determined

When you are walking on the road, your phone ring invites you to check it. 1. After texting, your eyes remain glued to the screen, even though you are walking across the street.

2. This behavior has aroused debates among lawmakers about whether walking and texting should be illegal. Some cities, such as Honolulu and Rexburg, Idaho, have banned distracted (思想不集中的) walking altogether.

But we shouldn’t let that make us less worried. Last year, pedestrian (行人) deaths in the United States were at their highest point since 1990, with distracted drivers and bigger vehicles the chief culprits (肇事者). 3.

“When you’re busy doing secondary tasks like texting, you don’t judge gap distances in traffic as well. You walk slower. You make poor decisions. 4. That is the main reason of some traffic accidents.” said Mr. Kolosh of the National Safety Council.

5. I talked to neuroscientists (神经学家) and psychologists about our conduct. All agreed that texting while walking might be a form of addictive behavior.

But this article isn’t about pointing fingers. Rather, now is a good time to reflect on why we are so glued to our phones, what we know about the risks and how we can take control of our personal technology rather than let it control us.

A.So why do we do it?

B.You type a message.

C.You’re not aware of your surroundings.

D.We don’t ever want to blame the drivers.

E.We all do this kind of distracted walking.

F.So being fixed on a screen while walking can’t be safe.

G.You put your phone in your bag instead of your pocket.

In recent years, the black bear population in the US has risen. Forests once cleared for farming have started to grow back and black bears have returned to them. But the bears are finding that their forest habitat has changed. Instead of thick forests covering thousands of acres, bears now have neighbors nearby. Roads, homes, schools, and shopping centers have been built at the edge of their forest home. And with humans and bears trying to share the same space, problems arise.

Black bears usually prefer to avoid people, but their nose may lead them into trouble. Their normal diet includes nuts, insects, and plants. But given the opportunity, they will gladly help themselves to whatever they can find.

With the great sense of smell, the bears can sniff out a tasty treat 2 or 3 miles away. Food left out in a park or backyard is an invitation to dinner. And while raiding (劫掠) a cooler, bird feeder (喂鸟器), trash can, car, or even a home, they can do a lot of damage. When that happens, people get angry. If another solution doesn’t immediately appear, they often want the bears killed.

Bear Aware, Bear Wise, and Bear Smart are trying to keep that from happening. They want people to respect bears, not fear them, and are suggesting ways to reduce the chances of bears stopping by for a snack. They’re convincing (使相信) people that by following some simple steps, it’s possible to live peacefully with our wild neighbors.

1.More black bears have appeared in the US because__________.

A．farmers have grown more food

B．forests have increased in the US

C．people stopped killing black bears

D．roads were built nearer to the forests

2.We learn from the text that black bears _________.

A．hate insects in forests                    B．eat different foods

C．usually live in big groups                  D．like to share space with humans

3.The underlined words “sniff out” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．to express a low opinion                  B．to find something by chance

C．to refuse something in a proud way          D．to discover something by its smell
