Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie. It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a strangers door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending.

So，every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels，letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. Shes a courier(快递人员)Five years ago，Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated(移居)It was extremely difficult for her to find another job. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am，” she said. After two years of searching，the mother of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years，she quit. Why?“My colleagues were young and they didnt understand me because of my age. They often asked me，You are so old；what are you working for？ I was very unhappy.” she said. So while the rest of her family left for work，she was left to lonely boredom at home. The urge to work drove her to suffering. Then，one of Ms Chengs neighbors told her about Employees Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations，such as convenience store assistants，junior clerks and so on.“I was interested in courier work. I didnt think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy. So I thought why not give it a try.” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB，Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict：she was caught between honor and employment. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she took heart and went off to work as a courier.Ms Chengs employer is delighted with her，“Ms Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work. “Anthony Chong，who runs the company，said. Currently，Mr Chong has 60 couriers working for his company：five of them are over fifty，four of whom have been through the ERB plan. Mr Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than the youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but the young ones will,” 认真组织会员学习，及时将党的路线、方针、政策，及时将新的法律和规章，传达到会员，协会编印了会员之家宣传资料共四期he said. “Itis not easy to recruit (招募) young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”56.

From the text, we can learn Ms Cheng is _.A. capable but stubborn B. purposeful but lazyC. independent and responsible D. intelligent and confidentCTeachers and students stress may be connected , according to a University of British Columbia study. The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teachers stress and students cortisol(皮质醇) levels.Researchers collected saliva (唾液) samples from over 400 primary school children and tested their cortisol levels . they found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more stress, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students cortisol levels increased. Higher cortisol levels in primary school children have been connected to stress, learning difficulties as well as mental health problems.“ This suggests that stress contagion (传染) might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers,” said Eva Oberle, the study s lead author and new assistant professor with the Human Early Learning Partnership(HELP) at UBCs school of population and public health. “The order of the occurrence of increased cortisol and teacher stress is still unknown. We consider the connection between students and teachers stress a cyclical problem in the classroom.”Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of negative support for teachers, which may damage teachers ability to effectively control their students. A poorly managed classroom can lead to students needs not being met and increasing stress, which could be shown in increased stress cortisol levels in students.Stress could come from students who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioral problems, or special needs. In this situation, teachers could feel helpless and report higher levels of stress. “Our study is a reminder of the systemic problems facing teachers and educators as classroom sizes increase and support for teachers is cut,” said Oberle.“It is clear from a number of recent studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need positive resources and support in their jobs in order to alleviate stress in the classroom,” said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the studys co-author and director of HELP. “If we do not support teachers , we will risk the mental damage of students.”61. Why did researchers test cortisol levels when studying students stress levels?A. Because cortisol is the cause of stress.B. Because cortisol levels are signs of stress levels.C. Because cortisol is the killer of stress.D. Because they needed to collect saliva samples.62. Which statement is true according to Eva Oberle?A. Students stress comes before the teachers.B. She doesnt know whether increased cortisol comes first.C. Its certain that teachers stress influences cortisol levels.D. The influence of teachers stress is more powerful than that of students.63. What does the stressful classroom climate result in?A. Poor management of students.B. Negative support for teachers.C. Students reduced stress.D. Teachers reduced stress.64. What does the underlined word “alleviate” mean?A. Balance B. recognize C. Lead D. Reduce65. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Stress of teachers is the key reason for students stress.B. Stress contagion might take place out of the classroom.C. Stress might spread between students and teachers.D. Stress contagion possibly takes place among students.DFor more than a century it was thought that a beautiful face was appealing because it w
