From time to time, we all get a bit down. Maybe we are feeling bad because we’re not doing well with our goals. There are many reasons for feeling down, but I’m not able to discuss all of them.   36  .

 Make a list. Sometimes we are sad simply because we are troubled by all the things we have to do.   37   . Make a list of the most pressing things you have to do. Thus you’re getting things under control. You can see, right in front of you, what you need to do, and that can pick up your mood.
       38  .You’ve made a list, and you still feel puzzled? Well, get started on the first thing you need to do. Once you get into action, you’ll feel better. And once you start doing something, you will feel much better than lying around feeling sorry for yourself.
        39   . I like Brown Eyed Girl, the Kinks, the Ramones, or an upbeat Beatles tune. You might have your own brand of feel-good music. Whatever it is, let yourself move to the beat. It may just be what the doctor ordered.
   Talk about it. Get a best friend, family member or coworker you can talk to.    40   . It can also help you work out the reasons you’re feeling down.

A. Take action.

B. Play some lively music.

C. Get out of the house and do something.

D. Getting things off your chest makes a big difference.

E. Start simply by picking up a piece of paper and a pen.
F. Do whatever you need to do to feel good about yourself.
G. What I can talk about are some things that have worked for me.

Once upon a time, a library was just about the only place that someone could go to get a book or go to read for free. Then came the arrival of the Internet, and that changed everything. Before long, books were available on different sites on the web. It was only a matter of time until Kindle, Nook, and other e-readers swept the scene. Along with them came the e-book. Many believed that this would be the end of libraries. But libraries still exist today, and many of them even thrive(繁荣). So, how is it possible that they survived against the onslaught of e-books?

For one thing, the truth is that libraries were never just about borrowing books for free. Librarians provide many services other than those of a desk clerk or customer service agent. They often hold seminars, presentations, contests, and other events to promote free education. These events are considered necessary by parents and kids alike.

For others, the library is a place where they can go to get away from the rush of the world and from social obligations or family troubles. Many go to the library to study for projects, papers and exams. Others simply see it as a recreational hobby.

For another thing, most libraries and librarians do not reject the changing tides of technology. And neither does the world, for that matter. In the US, the graduate degree program to become a librarian is often called a Library Science program. It reflects the fact that the country believes its librarians should keep up with the latest in information technology. Many librarians agree, and therefore have become experts in the field. Librarians have by and large willingly educated themselves in the technology needed to keep up with the fast-paced digital world of technology today.

So consider a visit to your local library to see all the recent changes. If you haven’t been to one in a while you might not recognize the place. But don’t worry. Your librarian will be happy to bring you up to speed.

    I was looking at a picture recently and noticed there was something different. The frame was    41   . The overall picture still looked good but I couldn’t    42    whether or not changing the frame would make it better.

From this an interesting    43    came to mind. At times when I was    44    I would spend money on clothes. Maybe I spend it on other things as well.

Because I have a love for    45   , I thought I would feel good. However, the feeling was always    46   . Why? Because doing this didn’t    47    the real issue. What I needed to do was to pay attention to what was bothering me on the inside    48    trying to cover up my problems by making changes on the outside. I was changing the frame but the picture on the    49    was still the same.

We may change the    50    of our hair or even buy new clothes. There is nothing wrong with doing this    51   , but if it is being done for the wrong reasons, it may not    52    to how we really feel. If you    53    there is something wrong, try to change that; this way you will truly feel better on the inside.    54    time with family, having a conversation with a friend, or even letting your pen write your innermost feelings can    55   . Eventually, you will get true peace and joy inside. This way, not only will you be better able to    56    your life but also display colorful images of love for others.

So    57    necessary, don’t just change the frame. Change the picture. Getting a new picture may be    58    and may take time; however, with    59    it can be accomplished. In the end, playing your part in building a    60    of even more fine art in this world would be worth it!

Dear son,

     The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.

     If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   41   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   42   the same things thousand and one times, do not   43   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   44  you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a  45  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   46  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   47  little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you   48  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life.

   When at some moment I lose the memory or the   49  of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   50   to me.

     If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   51   I need to and when not. When my   52   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   53  , the same way I did when you gave your first  54 .   And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   55   any more -that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.

     Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,   56   my mistakes, I always wanted the   57   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, or angry for seeing me   58   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   59   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   60  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

                                                         I love you, son.

                                                           Your father

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two­ thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

ziyuanku.comHowever, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog” ，and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”．

What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers.  If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

28．The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.

  A. early                   B. smoothly                 C. quickly        D. sweetly

29．Some cats and dogs may fight when________.

A. they are cold to each other

B. they look away from each other

30．It is suggested in Paragraph 4  that cats and dogs ________.

A. have common interests               B. are less different than was thought

C. have a common body language          D. are less intelligent than was expected

31．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A. We should learn to live in harmony.  B. We should know more about animals.

People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children keep healthy while playing with others. However, playing sports can have   39   effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports,40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these,18,000,000 say they have been   40   at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad   41   of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main   42   of too much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children   43   aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that   44   is everything. Many parents go to children’s sporting events and shout   45   at other players or cheer when their child behaves   46  .As well, children are even taught that hurting other players is   47   or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured.  48   , the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.

We really need to   49   this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches   50   should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better   51   . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to   52   themselves whether they win or not. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that   53   is not as important as winning.

A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China —"tuhao" — which loosely translated means "nouveau riche". There have been more than 100 million references to the word "tuhao" on social media since early September.
   It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building, to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling(锦衣珠宝), and the new gold-colored iPhone.
   In Chinese "tu" means earth and "hao" means rich. To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have made it rich quick — but don't quite have the manners, or sophistication to go along with it. It's like the term "nouveau riche", says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham - but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).
   "Tuhao" is actually an old word, dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1,500 years ago,but it has always meant something rather different. During the communist revolution, from the 1920s to early 1950s, it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry who would bully those beneath them.
   This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a more simple life. The monk replies instead with the phrase: "Tuhao, let's be friends!"
   Chinese Internet users are highly creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship(审查) rules. But in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it expresses China's changing society so well — many people sneer(嘲笑) at those with wealth, but are secretly jealous.
9. What is the best title of the passage?

10.Which of the following may NOT be considered “tuhao”?

11.The last but one paragraph mainly tells us ______.

 —Who is making so much noise in the garden?
