to visit my aunt and uncle in seattle，a city on the northwest american coastdad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online. on the day of our flight，we had to wake up very early. when we cheeked our bags in，we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine，after that, dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. we had a lot of fun watching many different people there. then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gateit took one hour for everyone to get on the plane，but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!i think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to mount rainier，a volcano near seattleit was nothing like i had expected，before we left my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so i supposed that it would be very hot. imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and i discovered the top was covered in snow and ice!my uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. we walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water a small stream. little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. it was the most beautiful sight that id ever seen.56、what ticket did the father buy for the family?a. bus b. ship c. train d. airplane57、why did they pay a fine?a. because they got up lateb. because they didnt wait in line.c. because they came

well you use your smartness. professor salovery, the psychologist created the term, eq says that it is iq that gets you hired but it is eq that gets you promoted.supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a persons brainpower, as measured by iq tests, might actually less than a persons character, or eq. professor salovery may be correct. for example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? perhaps it is because of their eqs. people often make the mistake of thinking that eq is the opposite of iq. it is not. although it is hoped that people have both high eqs and iqs, there is little doubt that those with low eqs have a hard time surviving in life. for a long time，researchers discussed if a persons iq could be raised, the geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. furthermore，the social scientists said that it vas possible to improve a persons eq，particularly in terms of “people skills”，such as understanding and communication. recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. when some normal students were introduced to some disabled students，they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. at the same time，there was a marked change in the disabled students attitudes. they became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new thingspeople with high eqs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas，so they tend to be more creative in their thinkingplease remember that having a high iq is helpful，but having a high eq might even be more helpful.61according to professor salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?a. how a person tests hisher brainpowerb. a persons characterc. how smart a person isd. a person/s iq62. the second paragraph tells us that .a. people who have a high iq always have a high eq。b. eq is the opposite of iq。c. people who have a low eq tend to have a hard lifed. people who have a high eq always have a high iq.63. what did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?a. students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.b. there was no change in the normal students.c. the disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new thingsd. the disabled students were more willing to help others.64. which of the following is the writers attitude toward eq and iq?a. iq is more helpful to people than iq。b. iq can be raised by understanding and communication.c. eq can get people hired d. a high eq is of great benefit in getting people promoted.65which of the following would be the best title of this passage?a. a persons brainpower. b. iq，eq and success。c. iq and a persons character d. a persons iq and eq c spring is a wonderful season to celebrate rebirth and new life. the long, cold winter is over. the weather is warmer and sunnier. the trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming. the season represents hope, joy and beauty. at this time, many people think of this classical music piece spring, which shows happiness. italian composer antonio vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundreds.however, not all songs about spring are happy. this song written and sung by k.d. lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. she recorded i dream of spring in 2008.richard rodgers and oscar hammerstein wrote it might as well be spring for the movie state fair in 1945. frank sinatra sings it. it is a feeling of restlessness or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. richard rodgers also wrote spring is here, this time with lorenz hart. ella fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season.frank loesser wrote the sad song, spring will be a little late this year. why has the season been delayed? because the singers lover has left her. sarah vaughn released(发行) her version of the song in 1953.by now you may be thinking, “enough with the sad songs, already!” ok, then how about a cowboy song? gene autry was one of americas most famous singing cowboys. he recorded when its springtime in the rockies in 1937.and finally, well leave you with a sunny song called up jumped spring. freddie hubbard wrote this jazz song in 1977 and billy taylor trio performs it.66. if you are in a bad mood, youd better listen to _.a. up jumped spring b. i dream of springc. spring is here d. spring

preparation into their usual courses. we are finding that we can help our students to be both skillful and whole-hearted readers and test takers after all, we all know that the best test preparation is good reading and writing training.what can you do at home? again, the best and most effective test preparation for the ela test is reading and more reading. the research is quite clear students who do well in the tests are those who are good readers. reading not only builds reading ability, it also helps build confidence important for successful test taking! but do discourage(阻止) your children from spending too much time on books that are too hard or even a bit too hard. children best develop comprehension skills when they are reading books just right for them (too easy doesnt hurt here either).finally, on friday, december 7, we will have a morning lecture on the ela. please pay attention!71. the text is mainly about _.a. how teachers will provide more time for test preparation b.
