door At the sound of broken glass we knew we were in trouble We ran faster than any of our stones flew off her roof I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter However a few days later when I was sure that I hadn t been discovered I started to feel guilty for her trouble She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the 魔方格独家呈现 newspaper but I was no longer able to act comfortably when seeing her I decided that I would save my paper delivery 送 money and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I

repairing it The next day I handed the old lady her paper She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of biscuits she had made herself I thanked her and ate the biscuits as I continued my route

The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books I m very interested in people and finding out about them Some of the most amazing people I ve met could only be found in a writer s imagination then in his book and then again in my imagination I ve found in books new friends and new worlds Reading is fun not because the writer is telling you something but because it makes your mind work Your own imagination works along with the writer s or even goes beyond his Your experience compared 魔方格独家呈现 with his brings you to the same or different conclusions and your ideas develop as you understand his Every book stands by itself like a one family house but books in a library are like houses in a city Although they are separate 分开的 in some way they are connected with each other The same ideas or related 相关的 ones appear in different places the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books but with different solutions 解决方法 according to different writings at different times Books influence each other They connect the past the present and the future and have their own generations age groups like families Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas and in the end you not only find out about the world and the people in it you find out about yourself too Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be If you concentrate on 专注于 books somebody tells you ought to read you probably won t have fun But if you put down a book you don t like and try another

All right then just one more piece Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake Of course many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end It isn t just girls Most of us find it hard to say no to something attractive However scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people s lives for a long time The results are similar according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian a famous British newspaper In one experiment scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow 圆 形软糖 now or two marshmallows in 15 minutes Waiting obviously needed more willpower Scientists then 魔方格独家呈现 continued studying the children as they grew up They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives Years later scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier happier and richer adults Oppositely the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low paid jobs to be overweight to have social problems But there is hope Roy F Baumeister an American social psychology 心理学 professor 教授 told the Guardian Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self control if we do it regularly You could start by making yourself stand up straight speaking in complete sentences or using a computer mouse with the other hand Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests Like muscles willpower can get tired Don t try to do too many things at the same time or when you don t have enough energy for example when you are ill If you already feel tired you can try to recharge 恢复 your willpower with a good night s sleep and by eating well 30 The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to A prove that girls have weak willpower B introduce the topic of willpower to the readers C show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls D show the connection between willpower and success 31 What can we infer from the experiment A The scientists had already known the results before the experiment B It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life C The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives D The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower 32 Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower A You should have a goal every day B Good rest and proper diet can help C Willpower needs to be exercised regularly D Keep willpower from being used too much 33 What is the article mainly about A How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained B How willpower affects people s lives and how it is similar to muscles C How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger D How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other 四 阅读表达四 阅读表达 共共 5 5 小题

bus stop the British people form a queue You may have read about it but you will still feel amazed to see it with your own eyes It s an amazing social behavior it brings the British to a higher level of civilization 文明 魔方格独家呈现 At least that is what one German professor thinks The professor named Joseph Heinrich and his workmates say that standing in line is the highest form of cooperative 协作的 group behavior The social rules 细则 of standing in line are also interesting For example you need to be able to decide the correct distance to the person in front of you Get too close and there is a danger of entering other people s personal space This is a serious mistake and often makes other people angry However when you leave too much space the next person is likely to ask Are you in the queue This may sound polite but in fact it means Can t you stand in line properly In no other countries can you see the one man queue except in Britain If a British person arrives at a bus stop and no one else is there he will not simply wait Instead he stands at the head of the queue Tourists are often unfamiliar with local customs 习俗 and if they do not get in line behind the British person he or she will tell them strictly This is a queue Though it might seem that the British people take their queues too Seriously one thing is certain queues can save lives In dangerous situations standing in line has prevented them from getting very frightened In the serious train accident in 1999 people who were hurt formed a queue as they escaped from their trains One writer later wrote about a polite man who let her pass with a quiet after you TopicQueuing in Britain Professors 34 of queuing The British have 35 a higher level of civilization It is the highest form of cooperative group behavior Social rules of queuing You should stand 36 too close to nor far from the person in front of you Even if there is only one British person waiting for a bus he queues too If tourists do not queue they will be strictly reminded to 37 the local custom The power of queuing The British queued and kept calm even in face of 38 五 词汇五 词汇 共共 1010 小题 每小题小题 每小题 1 1 分 满分分 满分 1010 分分 A 根据句子意思 用括号中所给词的正确形式填空
