Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey (调查)：① Scary movies and TV shows；②Scary dreams；③Thunderstorms，hurricanes(飓风)；and other horrible weather；④War and terrorism (恐怖行动)；⑤Sounds heard at night.
But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
What is fear?
Fear is a feeling that everyone has—it’s programmed into all of us—and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries，and their mom comes over to comfort him or her，helping the baby feel safe and OK again.
Real vs. Pretend
The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older，they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches，he can tell himself，“Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”
The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed？Is that a thief I hear？With the help of a parent，kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.
1.What did the writer find out from the survey?
A.Some people have never experienced fear.
B.Kids don’t like watching scary movies.
C.All people are afraid of something.
D.People often cry loudly when they are scared.
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The list of fears is not complete.
B.The things people fear are of no big deal.
C.Kids have more fears than people think.
D.People are afraid of different things.
3.In the writer’s opinion，________.
A.having a sense of fear is not a bad thing
B.babies have a weak sense of fear
C.fear is not something that we are born with
D.not all people can react to dangerous things

Small talk – the likes of “What do you have there? Popcorn?” or “The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it?” – is meaningless and a waste of time, according to some people. But scientists believe that it is actually more useful than it may appear to be.
One example comes when you are on a train or a plane. The thought of talking to the stranger sitting beside you can be scary, because you know the conversation is sure to be awkward. But a study by the University of Chicago in the US found that people who chat to strangers enjoy a better ride than those who sit in silence or occupy themselves with their phones.
In the study, researchers asked people at Chicago train stations to start conversations with fellow travelers. Most of them refused to do so at first because they expected not to get a friendly answer. But the result turned out to be just the opposite – most strangers were not only willing to be talked to, but also pleasant to talk to.
“Human beings are social animals,” Nicholas Epley, one of the lead researchers, told Live Science. “Other people are people, too. And it turns out that they’d like to get to know you.”
Apart from making you happier, small talk with strangers can also help you feel connected to your surroundings. Previous studies found that when people are frequently smiled at, made eye contact with and spoken to at coffee shops, they tend to have a stronger sense of belonging instead of feeling like they are being ignored and left out.
And if you are already comfortable enough to make small talk with strangers, you should try to develop it into something “bigger”.
A 2010 study proved that having a deep and meaningful conversation gives you even more happiness than small talk. Participants in the study – 79 college students – reported after the four-day experiment that they were much happier when they had a third as much small talk and twice as many in-depth conversations.
But deep conversations can start with small talk, can’t they? So the first step is to start talking, no matter how casual the topic is. And who knows, maybe an opening line as simple as “I like your hat” could lead to a serious conversation in which you learn something new from a stranger.
1.What is the reason for the result of the study by the University of Chicago, according to Nicholas Epley?
A.Most people are nice to strangers.
B.People are naturally curious about others.
C.People are afraid of loneliness or boredom.
D.People try to show their good side to strangers.
2.Which of the following is a benefit of small talk according to the passage ?
A.Wasting less time. B.Getting rid of useless contacts.
C.Coping with smart phone addiction. D.Feeling like you are a part of your surroundings.
3.What does something “bigger” mean in the passage?
A.Privacy B.Small talk C.Sensitive topics D.In-depth conversations
4.What is the author’s attitude toward small talk?
A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Doubtful. D.Passionate.

A research suggests that speaking more than one language may delay different kinds of dementia(痴呆) that is the loss of mental ability. In fact, researchers say, speaking two languages appears to be more important than the level of education in defending against dementia.
A study in India examined the effect of knowing more than one language in delaying the first signs of several dementia. Researchers studied nearly 650 people whose average age was 66. 240 of those studied suffered from Alzheimer's, the most common form of mental decline(下降). 391 of the subjects spoke two or more languages. Researchers found the dementia began about four-and-a-half years later in those who spoke two languages compared to those who spoke only one language. The level of education had no effect on the age at the first sign of dementia.
Thomas Bak, from the Centre of Cognitive Aging at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, who helped to organize the study, suggests that individuals who speak more than one language train their brains by moving back and forth between different words and expressions. He also believes this effort improves what scientists called executive(执行的) functioning, which often weakens in people with dementia. He states that researchers found there was no extra gain in speaking more than two languages.
Mr Bak says it does not appear important whether you learn another language at a young age or later in life. It's not something that “you missed the boat when you do not do it as a baby.” It is something that is still quite useful and powerful when you do it as an adult.
1.The finding of the study is that .
A.learning more than one language can cure dementia
B.the level of education matters in defending against dementia
C.speaking two languages may delay kinds of dementia
D.people who suffer from dementia will lose mental ability
2.The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 2 refers to “______”.
A.notices that were put on about the study
B.people who were studied in the study
C.questions that were asked in the study
D.methods that were used in the study
3.According to Mr Bak, ______.
A.when you learn one more language makes no difference
B.people's executive functioning often strengthens with age
C.the more languages one speaks, the less chance of getting dementia
D.it is much easier to learn one more language at a young age
4.This passage may probably be seen in ______.

You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Maybe your friends from middle school are going to a different high school. Even if you know other freshmen(新生), you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upper-classmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation(训练) before school actually starts. These are helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but you also get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more after-school activities than middle school did, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
Middle school taught you the basics of academics, time management, and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. High school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.
1.According to the passage, when they come to the school on the first day freshmen usually feel ____.
A.proud B.nervous C.excited D.afraid
2.What are freshmen probably worried about?
A.The learning task. B.The chances to make friends.
C.The freshman orientation. D.The relationship with teachers.
3.After-school activities mainly help students ____.
A.build up healthy bodies B.develop friendships
C.develop their interests D.improve their learning ability
4.The last paragraph is mainly about ____.
A.what you’ll learn in high school
B.what you leaned in middle school
C.the difference between middle school and high school
D.the importance of being more independent and responsible

Cancer signs differ depending on which part of the body is affected by a tumour（肿瘤）. It’s been said that your height could shows whether you’re at risk of a deadly tumour. Are you more likely to get cancer if you’re tall or short?
Cancer is a deadly condition that is caused by cells growing and reproducing uncontrollably. These cancerous cells can destroy the surrounding healthy cells and organs. Having an unhealthy diet, smoking and not doing enough regular exercise are all risk factors（因素）for cancer.
But people are also more likely to develop cancer if they’re taller. Dr Leonard Nunney, from the University of California Riverside said taller people are more at risk of several different types of cancer.
“For every 10cm in height, the risk increases by about 13 percent for women, and about 11 percent for men,” he said. “The link may be caused by taller people having more cells in the body. One of the major assumptions was that something happening early in life was making your cells easier to suffer from cancer and causing you to be tall incidentally.” Nunney told The Guardian.
“It is not quite right that cancer comes from an unhealthy diet or the fact that your parents happen to be tall. Actually, only a large number of cells cause that to come about. Taller people have an increased cell division rate, which could increase the risk of cancer,” warned Nunney.
However, Cancer Research UK said people didn’t need to worry about their height. A number of studies over the years have shown that taller people seem to have a little higher risk of cancer. This study suggests it’s because taller people are made of more cells, so there’s more potential for one of them to go wrong and become cancerous. But the increased risk is small and there’s plenty you can do to reduce the risk of developing cancer such as not smoking and keeping a healthy weight.
1.Who is more likely to develop cancer?
A.A person who is too short.
B.A person with a light diet.
C.A person whose parents are shorter than others.
D.A person who takes little exercise.
2.What can we infer from Nunney’s view?
A.Shorter people have more cells in their body.
B.Men are more likely to get cancer than women.
C.Taller people are more likely to develop some kinds of cancer.
D.Women are more concerned about their health than men.
3.What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph 5 refer to?
A.The right B.Diet. C.A number. D.Cancer.
4.Which of the following does Cancer Research UK agree with?
A.More and more people are suffering from cancer.
B.People can form a good habit to reduce the risk of developing cancer.
C.People should control their height to reduce the risk of having cancer.
D.More and more people are focusing on their height.
