Ive come to learn that it is very important to learn to say NO! Its okay. People are still going to like you .They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.Im not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help. Im talking about refusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you dont want to be a guest at.Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really dont want to do .If youre like I once was, you cant sleep at night and you think about it too much .It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever youre saying to yourself ,if you really wanted to go, you wouldnt have all of these thoughts.So, why not just say NO in the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you dont show up at the meeting (by the way, it is not one you must attend) your boss isnt going to like you or your co-workers wont respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom, dad or sisters wont love you as much if you dont do everything for them that they ask every occasion.If these people are your true friends, family members, or a good boss, they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to, and if youre someone who always says “yes” then thats what theyre expecting. You need to do what is right for you. Of course, we do have real obligation in life to fulfill, but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.56.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?A.We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.B.We should help others in need.C. Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.D.Always saying “no” means you are brave.57.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Saying “yes” B.A friends birthday party.C.Something youre unwilling to do.D.Something you think difficult to do.58.The writer believes that if you say “no ”to your family members, youll _.A.have the same relationship with them as beforeB.have a loose relationship with themC.disappoint them D. upset them59.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Learn to Make a Right Choice B.To Be YourselfC.Do What You Want to Do D.Learn to Say NoBAmazing Rafting AdventuresWhite water rafting is one of the classic, wild, activities in the outdoors .It is also an opportunity for an unbelievable family adventure.

B.Encouraging C.Discouraging D.Negative.CHoney from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helpera little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房).The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees nest. So when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.64.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest?A.Its small in size.

What can be the best title for the text?A.Wild Bees B.Wax and Honey C.Beekeeping in Africa. D.Honey-Lovers HelperDGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his Kingdom. So did the king of English in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War .Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.68. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because_A.they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB.they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC.they believe disease could be spread in public bathsD.they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease69.Which of the following best describes Henry IVs attitude to bathing?A.Afraid B.Curious C.Approving D.Uninterested.70. How does the passage mainly develop?A.By providing examples B.By making comparisons.C.By following the order of time. D.By following the order of importance71.What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A.To stress the role of dirt. B.To introduce the history of dirt.C.To call attention to the danger of dirt.D.To present the change of views on
