I never 1, but always got near perfect scores on all my tests. I was a child genius (天才), at least in my mind. I was also 2music and sports. I was pretty sure that once I got to seventh grade, everyone including my teachers would be 3by me.But actually, they werent.When I arrived at my new class, it seemed that there was always someone else who could do 4than I. My grades got worse and I needed to actually be studying for my tests. I believed I wasnt smart. I believed I wasnt talented.

The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮丧). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦虑); dont do what makes you depressed.In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）. If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists（心理学家） call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isnt anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: youll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.（1）We can infer from the passage that the author_.A . finds it difficult to make decisionB . has found out what causes anxietyC . was encouraged by Duke Ellingtons stage frightD . no longer feels anxious about new experiences（2）What does the word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means?A . a persons loss of confidence little by littleB . the natural development of a childs abilitiesC . the inborn ability to avoid anxious situationsD . the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety（3）Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?A . Anxiety can be a positive driveB . Hesitation leads to depression.C . Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.D . Depression is a signal that one is growing up.（4）Whats the best title for the passage?A . Confidence: Key to SuccessB . Anxiety: Challenge by Another NameC . Depression: A Psychological AppearanceD . Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression8. （8分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。BWe know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They are almost all over the world, and there are more than 2, 500 kinds of them.No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she.

On their own, the two are disabled. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North Chinas Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqis direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area. Though hard-working, the men dont make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money.

They were young adults. I didnt want to take their property(财产), nor could I shout at them. You can guess what happened. Some students were polite, using their phones between activities. Others would rudely text(发短信)their friends during lessons, sometimes even while I talked to them individually. One young woman, K, openly played a game at her desk with earphones!l began to think my class was boring(probably true)and that my students hated me (I could understand). But what could I do? I couldnt fail every student. Maybe I was just being a crazy old person.With all the recent talks about banning(禁止)smartphones at schools, you might think Im in favor. Im actually not so sure. This technology isnt going away. Teachers probably need to adjust(调整)as much as students.I designed(设计)activities to force more participation, using pens and paper and moving around the room to talk to classmates. It kind of worked! I also found ways to use their phones. Things like research, translation and creative projects. I found that my students worked hardest on these activities.Phones might not be the biggest problem. Once, walking on campus, I saw K standing alone in the dark. I could see her face lit up by her mobile game. Maybe smartphone addiction(上瘾)at school is a sign of loneliness or a boring teacher.（1）Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage? （-Paragraph 1，=Paragraph 2，）A . B . C .
