The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.At that moment, I thought to myself, Why arent most adults this way? Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and dont even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that theyre not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure(失败) .However, with kids, when they fall down, they dont consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected falling down with the word failure. Whats more, they probably think to themselves that its quite okay to fall down and that its not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.I was deeply impressed by the boys persistence(坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.（1）What did the little boy do when he fell down? A . He cried and lay on the grass.B . He asked his mother for help.C . He got up and went on running.D . He got up and stood there crying.（2）In the writers opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as? A . A failure.B . A joke.C . An interesting game.D . A learning experience.（3）In the writers opinion, why cant many adults succeed? A . Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.B . Because they cant find a good excuse.C . Because once they fail, they wont attempt again.D . Because they dont allow themselves to make mistakes.（4）The underlined word attempt in Paragraph 2 means . A . 尝试B . 放弃C . 面对D . 怀疑（5）What does the writer want to tell us? A . Practice makes perfect.B . Failure is the mother of success.C . All roads lead to Rome.D . Each coin has two sides.3. （6分） How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain (大脑) that does these things. A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve ones memory.” Its not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brain is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. Whats more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button (天才按钮)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented.There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning (打哈欠) keeps our brains “cool”, which makes us think quicker.Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:Eat healthy food.Get a lot of playtime or exercise.Dont drink or smoke.Use your brain a lot.（1）A British scientist found out that _ could improve our memories.A . drinkB . dreamsC . sleepD . bananas（2）According to the passage, if we want to have a good brain, we should _.A . use our brains moreB . sleep fewer hoursC . work longer hoursD . remember fewer things（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . Our brains only work in the daytime.B . Our brains need much energy every day.C . Smoking can keep our brains healthy.D . Getting exercise is good for our brains.4. （6分） In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution. They join in “environment(环境) clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.Here are the things students often do.Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste(浪费) twenty to forty tons of water an hour?In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a carnot the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember:Walk, jump, bike or run.Use your legs! Its lots of fun!No-garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again.

He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day，while the king was taking walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. It is unbelievable! shouted the king. How could you make it happen?The farmer replied, Its very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.It is always the same to human beings. We all have two flying wings in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort.

Turn off your computer. D. Put down whatever is in your hands.E. Take notes while listening.F. Mind your body language.A wise old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke, the more he heard. Why arent we like that old bird? Edward H.Richards.We all need to learn to listen well. Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day. And I mean active listening, not just listening when it is convenient to us.Listening shows others that they are important. Its a sign of respect (尊重). If someone listens to you carefully when you are talking, it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying.How do you practice listening? Here are some basic rules:_ Are you in the middle of writing something? Put down the pen and fold your hands. Are you reading something? Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again. Then put it down. _ The computer will take your attention from your job at handlistening._ Facing the person you are talking with will help you focus completely on listening. It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important._ Standing closer to the speaker will show interest. Crossing your arms in front of your chest shows disagreement. Looking around the room shows you have no interest. Looking the speaker in the eyes tells him that he is important._ Do not start sharing your ideas after hearing the first few words. Do not just think about your reply in your mind. Pay attention to the speaker. Really listen to what he is telling you.三、 A. 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，写出空白处各单词的正确形式 (共10题；共34分)7. （4分）词汇运用（1）We should try our best to protect our _ ( 环境).（2）After the whole days voluntary work, I felt fine _ (除之外) for being a little tired.（3）Have you seen any good films _ (recent)?（4）A report says that _ ( marry) men are more likely to save money than single men.8. （1分）The doctor said that an unhealthy diet _(导致) to his illness. 9. （5分）根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词（1）Dont reach your hand out of the w_on a bus because its dangerous（2）Whats the_(日期)today?（3）Put a_(绷带)on your wounded finger .（4）Dave is under much_(压力) .Hes stressed out .（5）_(突然)it began to rain .10. （5分）根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词。（1） Why are you s_?
