Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

    ___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ___37___

    Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

    __38___ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “___39___ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

     Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. ___40___

A. In general the person feels excited and ready to act

B. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it

D. Anger may cause you a cancer.

E. Do not express your anger while angry.

F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.

G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.

Though there are about 400 languages from all over the world that are in danger of disappearing completely, Zoque ­Ayapaneco, a native Mexican language is considered the most likely to become extinct, because the only two people in the world that speak it fluently do not talk to each other!

And, it's not because they live in different countries, states or even villages. In fact, Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez, both in their 70s, live within 500 yards of each other, in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They, however, refuse to communicate because they simply don't have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little flank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.

Segovia was at least able to talk in Zoque ­Ayapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12 years ago, and still manages to practice it with his family, especially his son Manuel, who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generation. Velazquez on the other hand, has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.

The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village, but the younger generation shunned it for fear of being laughed at, and it therefore began to die a slow death, as the elders passed away.

Unless the two men get their acts together, the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuel's not-­so-­fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled “Lengua Muerta” (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.

We sure hope Segovia and Velazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.

4. The reason why Segovia and Velazquez don't talk to each other is that ________.

A. they both are too shy             B. they live in different villages

C. they are too familiar to talk        D. they have no similarity in their character

5. What do we know about Zoque­ Ayapaneco?

A. It was widely used twelve years ago.

B. It will be dying out if no effective measures are taken.

C. It will be popular in Mexico in the near future.

D. It is a Southern American language.

6. The underlined word “shunned” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A. favored      B. identified    C. were unwilling to learn      D. protected

7. From the passage, we can conclude that________.

A. altogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world.

B. Segovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soon

C. the government cares a lot about the protection of Zoque­ Ayapaneco

D. we can hear the language from Manuel or documentary “ Lengua Muerta”

8. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. World's endangered languages are being filmed.

B. Villagers are trying to protect their old language.

C. An endangered language is spoken by only two people.

D. There are a lot of languages in Mexico.

I still remember the first day I come to this new school. Everything was new to me, what made me realize I was no longer a small child. I had to depend on me. Luckily, I made several good friend. Their interests were similar with mine. I had great English teacher, Maggie. She let me know the important of English. So I decided to learn English hardly. Although it was very difficult at first, but with the help of my teacher, I made rapidly progress. Just as the old saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”

I get on well with my deskmate. He admire my fluent English and I usually feel encouraging by his positive comments. One day, while learning the word “overweight” in class, we are asked to make a sentence with it. I volunteered to do it by saying “my deskmate is overweight boy whose clothes never fit him.” Hearing of this, the whole class burst into laughters and my deskmate’s face turned red. He was very upset but wouldn’t talk to me after class. My mindless words must have hurt him deep. It was not until then that he realized words could be powerful, both positively and negatively. However, we should avoid hurting others when we speak.

Thank you for your listening!

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.

The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.

The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says.

Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.

The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.

Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.

9. Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?

A. It can sense how users brush their teeth.    B. It can track users’ school performance.

C. It can detect users’ fear of seeing a dentist.    D. It can help users find their phones.

10. What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?

A. You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.

B. You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.

C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.

D. You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.

11. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A. How Serval found out his kids lied to him.

B. Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.

C. How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.

D. What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush.

12. What can we infer about Serval’s children?

A. They were unwilling to brush their teeth

B. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.

C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.

D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.

Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.    36   However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.   37   They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

  38   This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

  39   People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.

Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard.   40    

A. Still, people say every dog has its day.

B. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

C. Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.

D. Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.

E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.

F. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.

G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical  

  care.

After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?

That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.

However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.

In my room, Mom’s voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.

True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.

 A recent survey shows that storytelling ranks before television or video games among pastimes for kids. The survey was carried out among 500 children aged 3—4 in Britain, of  __61    over three—quarters said they wished their parents could read to them more often. Almost two—thirds of the kids said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep   62  （well）and more easily.

According to the survey, there are two ways for parents   63  （become）good storytellers. They can use   64  （fun）voices to show different characters in a story. They can also make their own special sounds to keep the story   65  （interest）and attractive. When Mum and Dad aren’t at hand, over 30％of kids would like to hear   66   bedtime story from famous people like Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe. Other movie stars like Zac Efron,  Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson   67  （welcome）by children, too.

“  68   can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children. But these moments can help build close relationship   69   parents and children, and also can play an important part in their child’s    70  （develop）,” said child psychologist Woolfson.
