A. driving school B. travel service C. sports center D. bus station BSo many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to usbelieving this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I cant do that. Hes the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesnt mean that youre wrong. Everything will be fine. Youll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.Youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. Youll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.4The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”ArecoverBdevelopCacceptDreplace5In the authors opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think _.Awe can turn small issues into big onesBour positions are higher than othersCour own opinions matter mostDothers will be less defensive 6The best thing to do after a quarrel is to _.Alet go of our own rightsBrealize that you are wrongCexpect others to give inDapologize to others first7What would be the best title for the passage?

For many, taking a class in economics might seem more beneficial than a French course.

BNegative. CDoubtful. DNeutral.D According to a survey, only 4% of the people in the world are left-handed. Why? One theory centers on the two halves of the brain. For example, the left half and the right half, each of which functions differently. Medical science believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves from the other side of the brain reciprocate (互换). The end result is that the opposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain. The dominant left half of the brain, which kindly supplies the right half of the body, theoretically makes it more skillful in reading, writing, speaking, and working, and makes most people right-handed. Lefties, however, whose right half of the brain dominates, work best with the left side of their bodies. Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body. Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the right side of our faces differs slightly from the left, that our legs differ in strength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left. There is no doubt that all exist in a “right-handed society”, which produces most basics, including scissors, doorknobs, locks, screwdrivers, automobiles, buttons on clothing, and musical instruments for the 96%. Left-handed people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite (精英) society, which includes many of the greatest geniuses, including Michelangelo and Leonardo Davinci.12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Left-handed people are better at speaking B. Left-handed people are believed to have stronger left halves of the brains C. Right-handed people work best with the right side of their bodies D. Right-handed people are cleverer than left-handed people 13. Which of the words or phrases is closest in meaning to the word “asymmetrical”? A. not balanced B. valuable C. not typical D. negative14. What can be inferred from the passage?A. This is an equal society for the left-handed peopleB. Most great geniuses are left-handed C. Left-handed people are considered to be disabled D. Left-handed people may feel inconvenient in this right-handed society 15. Whats the best title for the passage?A. Which proves to be the better way to live, right-handed or left-handed?B. How do left-handed people differ from right-handed ones?C. Are left-handed people equally treated in society? D. Why are some people left-handed?第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone faces problems in his/her daily life._16_Dont worry.
