i was very young. when i reached the age of twelve he began taking me to his auto body shop. he told me this tough job would build me into a man of character. but this all changed a year ago when my mother passed away and stumbled upon your poem, if.my mother was the person who could understand me. if i ever got tired during my work hours at the shop i could call her to come and pick me up. it was my mother who instilled the love of literature and languages in me. my mother spoke six languages fluently and had thousands of books, which still sit in the attic of our house. it was in this “library” of hers that i picked up a book of poetry from a cold metal shelf and found your poem, if. because of the death of my mother i felt alone, as if i belonged to no family. the image of a man was completely shattered when i saw him break down and cry, which looked so pathetic（凄惨的）and “unmanly” compared to his usual stoic（禁欲主义者）and emotionless countenance. yet i remained silent remembering the golden words: “if you can keep your head when all about you/ are losing theirs and blaming it on you youll be a man, my son!”if reminded me to remain calm and “keep my head” because i wanted to be a man and wanted to be the one supporting my family. i sacrificed my ability to compete in a winter sport so that i could stay home and cook for my family and clean the house. my father saw this and our relationship has grown much stronger. he finally respected me for who i was and told me he was proud to have a man for his son. through this poem, i realize that to be a man is not about putting weights on a barbell（杠铃）but rather putting the weight of others on your back. your poem was so much more than just a simple list of guidelines or morals that some see it as; it really changed my life and my relationship with my dad. 41. according to the passage, what kind of person does the authors father expect him to be?a. a person who will shoulder responsibilities.b. a person who knows how to

jealousy？for most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship.when this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that there is.dont let jealousy spoil your relationships.tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.it can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship youll have to do just that.dont approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just take some time alone with them and let them know that youve been feeling like theres been something coming between you.if they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.when you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.if，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesnt get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.dont limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.this destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.if you cant，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you wont.【语篇解读】 本文是关于人际关系的话题。尤其是青少年朋友之间会因为嫉妒而使相互间的友谊被破坏，本文着重讲述如何处理被朋友嫉妒及处理过程中可能遇到的困难。5according to the

is an old tale. its the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of straw and one made of sticks. the only house left standing was the one made of bricks. now there is new evidence to suggest that houses built with bales of straw can be very strong. they are also environmental. pete walker is a professor at the university of bath in britain. he and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bales and hemp material. during the next twelve months the team will study the effectiveness of these materials in home building. professor walker says there are many good reasons for using straw. professor walker says that one of the benefits is that its a relatively inexpensively renewable material thats readily available. according to professor walker, straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows. so it can be seen as having no harmful effects on the environment. he says straw helps the environment in other ways. professor walker: “the straw bale walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal(of heat) insulation. so we make buildings that require very little heating in the winter or indeed very little cooling in the summer. so they require very little additional energy.” professor walker says this reduces home operating expenses. it also reduces the effect on the environment. he says the current interest in straw bale houses is a direct response to the problem of climate change. david lanfear owns an eco-friendly home building service in the united states called bale on bale construction. he says he laughed when some friends first told him about houses built of straw. but after doing his own research, he learned that building with straw bales made a lot of sense. he has now helped to build more than ten straw bale houses and says the building material is becoming more widely accepted. to build the houses, he fills a wood frame with tightly packed bales of straw. next he coats the walls inside and out with layers of clay plaster. he says the common ideas about straw houses continue, including stories about the threat of fire. mr. lanfear says straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance. and he says his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain. david lanfear: “we use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof.”46. the function of the story in the first paragraph is to _.a. amuse the readersb. introduce the topic of this passage c. help the readers to recall their childhood memoryd. remind the readers that bricks are no longer the best choice for building 【答案】b【解析】推理判断题。根据用这个寓言故事来引出下文，因为它们有相同之处都是叙述的房子的问题，故选b。47. which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “insulation” in paragraph six? a. protection b. condition c. transmission d. expansion 【答案】a【解析】词义猜测题。根据the straw bale walls are relatively thick及so
