12、he story behind it was broadcast（播放） on a CCTV show. At first glance it may seem unimportant, but to those who know5history，Liuchi Lane means much more than its appearance.

After 7 to make a compromise（妥协）, the Zhangs turned to Zhang Ying, a family member of Zhangs and also a top official in the emperors court.

It took her seven years to finish writing it. During those seven years she had a number of jobs, including one job as an English

21、teacher in Portugal.Rowling sent the book to four publishers before one of them bought it. She was very happy to sell her book because it was her lifes dream to be a published writer. Before she sold her book, Rowling was short of money, living in a small apartment with her daughter. She could not a

22、fford heat in the winter.Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in England. The book also really took off in the United States. After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers lists of best-sellers. Th

23、en the books were made into popular movies. Without question, Rowlings life had completely changed, in just three years.Harry Potter has now sold more than 30 million books around the world and has been translated into more than thirty-five languages.

During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts a

27、nd feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety (焦虑), control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.Among s

28、chools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation progr

29、am led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For exa

30、mple, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed studen

31、ts who participated in meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorou

32、s(严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But m

33、any disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isnt thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of m

34、indfulness.Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part

35、 of every students school day. Participating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities.1Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?ATo control students working memory.BTo reduce students stress and anxiety.CTo increase students attendance rates.

36、DTo research students thoughts and feelings.2What can we learn from the passage?AMindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school.BMindfulness training is more productive than other school activities.CStudents felt more stressful after joining yoga classes three times a week.DStude

37、nts paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice.3The words “a lot of bang for your buck” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “_”.AchallengesBcomplaintsCadvantagesDinfluences4The writer probably agrees that _.Afurther studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness trainingBstudents wi

38、ll become more talented with mindfulness trainingCdoctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness trainingDmindfulness training decides students mental and physical healthD16、Many schools want to see young children spend more time learning. Some get rid of nap time. They think time spent sle

39、eping is wasted time. And they feel kids may not really need to nap (午睡) anyway.Ending afternoon naps might be a mistake, though. A new study looked at school nap time. It shows that going without a nap can cause problems for some children. That makes it harder for them to remember what they learn.

40、The new study was done by Rebecca Spencer and Tracy Riggins. Both are scientists who study learning and memory.Children need less sleep as they get older. However, children are not all the same. They stop needing to nap at different ages. Some stop napping every day by age 4. Others still nap daily

41、at age 6. Also, the need to nap doesnt just suddenly disappear, Spencer said. It can come and go as children develop. Children grow very quickly. All that growth can be tiring. Children may be fine without naps at one point. A month later, they may need to take naps again.All children need a good ni

42、ghts sleep in order to remember and learn. However, some children need more sleep than others. To keep what theyve learned, these children need to nap during the day. Nighttime sleep just isnt enough. Riggins and Spencer set out to prove this. They asked children at six preschools to play a memory g

43、ame. After the children finished the game, some were told to nap. The others were kept from napping. The following morning, the two scientists brought the children back.They wanted to test how much the children remembered from the day before. They found some big differences. Students who were kept a

44、wake forgot more than students who had napped.Scientist Peg Oliveira has also studied nap time. She says school naps can be particularly important for kids who might be suffering from (遭受) tough times at home. They often get less sleep at home than other kids. Some do not have their own room. Others

45、 may be homeless at times.“Those kids might not be having a solid night of sleep,” Oliveira said. For them, school nap time is extra important.1The underline phrase “get rid of” in Paragraph 1 can most probably be changed by ”Adont mindBare afraid ofCkeep away fromDhappily agree2From the study of Re

46、becca Spencer and Tracy Riggins, the need to nap depends on Ahow old the children areBchildrens developmentCchildrens sleeping hours at nightDchildrens timetable3According the passage,which of the followings is NOT TRUE?AChildren who often nap can remember what they learn easily.BIn the game, the st

47、udents who had napped get better results.CThe kids who had hard times may not need more naps.DSome children need to nap because they dont have enough sleep time at night.4According to the passage, the writer is eager to tell us that .Achildren do not pay attention to naps at schoolBchildren need bot

49、up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both

50、enjoyed, we couldnt have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me be

51、cause I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, bu

52、t you cant see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the

53、 sky was as clear as crystal.1The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was _ for the father and the son.AhardBenjoyableCpainfulDcomfortable2The underlined word “quit” in the passage means _.Acarry onBput offCgive upDpick up3Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the fathers words in

54、the second paragraph(段)?AYou will get all you need at the top of the mountain.BThe sky is always as clear as crystal.CYou can find life is full of nice things.DNever give up half-way.4We can infer（推断）from the last paragraph that_.Athe writer was very successful in his lifeBthe writer reached the top

55、 of the mountainCthough the write was young, he could understand his fatherDthe writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain5The best title for the passage is_.AReaching the Top of the MountainBStanding at the Top of the MountainCConversations between Father and SonDSeeing all of the ni

How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when theyre broken or you want a new one?Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollutio

57、n has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.Its important to pay attention

58、 to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful（有害的）, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市矿藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（

59、有毒化学物质） can get into the earth or air,effectingthe environment and peoples health.Apple, for example, now recycle peoples used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce（减少）e-waste, we can also take co

60、mputers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.1The following can become e-waste EXCEPT_.AcomputersBmobile phonesCplastic bags2Which country produced most e-waste last year according to the United Nations?AAmerica.BChina.CJapan.3What does the underline word “affecting” mean in this
