    Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don't care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

    Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting, and they often feel puzzled(迷惑的)at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

    It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

  1. (1) What is true about children when they play games?

    A . They can stop playing any time they like. B . They can test their personal abilities. C . They want to pick a better team. D . They don't need rules.
  2. (2) To become a leader in a game the child has to ________.

    A . play well B . wait for his turn C . be confident in himself D . be popular among his playmates
  3. (3) Why does a child like playing games?

    A . Because he can be someone other than himself. B . Because he can become popular among friends. C . Because he finds he is always lucky in games. D . Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
  4. (4) The writer believes that _____.

    A . children should make better rules for their games. B . children should invite grown-ups to play with them. C . children's games can do them a lot of good. D . children play games without reasons.

Nick Vujicic is a great speaker, born in Melbourne, Australia on the 4th of December, 1982. He has no arms and legs. There is no medical explanation for it. In school, he was the first disabled child to be integrated into the Australian school system. He was laughed at, avoided and not included on purpose from games. At age 6, Nick tried some prosthetics (假肢) but they were more of restriction than aid because they limited his movement. Apparently, he had learnt how to do some things without them. Unfortunately, he severely battled with depression at age 8. He felt he would always be a burden for the rest of his life. These thoughts made his prospects in life as a fantasy. He just had one desire—arms and legs, that's all.

At age 10, though his home was a refuge from the external storms, he couldn't manage to deal with the rejections he faced outside. Then he tried to drown himself but the love he had for his parents discouraged him from doing so. Nick had his Bachelor's degree in commerce at Griffith University. One day, his mum noticed his situation affected his life and decided to show him a newspaper article that featured a man that had a severe disability, much more than Nick's.

From that moment on, Nick Vujicic became grateful for life. He also said he found peace after he got his relationship with himself. Although he couldn't make some things happen easily, he believed it was not what you had but what you did with it. Therefore, he frequently tells himself he is not afraid to fail or try again. Today, He writes up to 43 words per minute, can throw tennis balls, play the drums, get a glass of water and also answer a phone call.

  1. (1) What can we know about Nick from paragraph 1?
    A . His disability is due to a genetic cause. B . He had a good time with his schoolmates. C . He suffered from depression at the age of 8. D . His prosthetics gave assistance with his movement.
  2. (2) What is a key turning point in Nick's belief?
    A . After knowing about a figure in an article. B . Bachelor graduation. C . After getting his parents' encouragement. D . The care from his mother.
  3. (3) What is Nick's present belief in his life?
    A . Being grateful to his parents. B . Facing the society bravely. C . Being content with his present life. D . Being determined to achieve his goal.
  4. (4) Which of the following best describes Nick?
    A . Generous. B . Positive. C . Creative. D . Emotional.
By taking part in farming, most of us have raised our (aware) of saving food.

    Exercise may help to safeguard the mind against depression(沮丧) through previously unknown effects on working muscles, according to a new study involving mice.

    Mental health experts have long been aware that even mild, repeated stress can contribute to the development of depression and other mood disorders in animals and people. Scientists have also known that exercise seems to cushion against depression. But precisely how exercise, a physical activity can reduce someone's risk for depression, a mood state, has been mysterious. So for the new study, researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm studied the brains and behavior of mice in a complicated and novel fashion.

    We can't ask mice if they are feeling cheerful or in low spirits. Instead, researchers have pictured certain behaviors that indicate depression in mice. If animals lose weight, stop seeking out a sugar solution when it's available — because, probably, they no longer experience normal pleasures — or give up trying to escape from the cold-water zone just freeze in place, they are categorized as depressed. And in the new experiment, after five weeks of frequent but low-level stress, such as being lightly shocked, mice displayed exactly those behaviors. They became depressed.

    The scientists could then have tested whether exercise blunts (延缓) the risk of developing depression after stress by having mice run first. But, frankly, from earlier research, they wanted to know how, so they bred pre-exercised mice. A wealth of earlier research by these scientists and others had shown that aerobic exercise, in both mice and people, increases the production within muscles of an enzyme (酶) called PGC-1alpha. The Karolinska scientists suspected(怀疑) that this enzyme somehow creates conditions within the body that protect the brain against depression. Then, the scientists exposed the animals, which without exercising, were in high levels of PGC-1alpha to five weeks of mild stress. The mice responded with slight symptoms of worry. But they did not develop depression. They continued to seek out sugar and fought to get out of the cold-water zone. Their high levels of PGC-1alpha appeared to make them depression-resistant(抵抗的). Finally, to ensure that these findings are relevant to people, the researchers had a group of adult volunteers complete three weeks of frequent endurance training, consisting of 40 to 50 minutes of moderate cycling or jogging. The scientists conducted muscle biopsies (活体检查) before and after the program and found that by the end of the three weeks, the volunteers' muscle cells contained substantially more PGC-1alpha than at the study's start.

    The finding of these results, in the simplest terms, is that “you reduce the risk of getting depression when you exercise,” said Maria Lindskog, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute.

  1. (1) The researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm conducted the new study hoping to know ________.
    A . if exercise cushions against depression B . what can lead to depression in animals and people C . if stress can contribute to the development of depression D . how exercise contributes to reducing someone's risk for depression
  2. (2) We can infer from the new experiment conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute that mice are depressed except when ________.
    A . they attempt to escape from the cold-water zone B . they stop searching for the sugar water C . they stand still in place D . they can't experience normal pleasures any longer
  3. (3) Researchers asked a group of adult volunteers to complete three weeks of frequent endurance training in order to ________.
    A . know if exercise can help to safeguard the mind against depression B . know if they can endure 40 to 50 minutes of moderate cycling or jogging C . ensure they can lose weight after moderate cycling or jogging D . confirm the findings above are also relevant to people
  4. (4) It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
    A . the mice with high levels of PGC-1alpha are easier to develop depression B . athletes are more likely to develop depression than ordinary people C . the enzyme called PGC-1alpha helps to reduce depression D . in the past mental health specialists didn't know exercise could help reduce depression

  What are some of the steps a person can take to prevent his house from being broken in while he or she is away? One step is to make sure that the house has a live-in look. Living room shades could be pulled down only half-away. Bedrooms that usually have the shades pulled down at night should be left down. Another is to make sure that all outside looks are the dead-belt() type. Still another is to leave several low-watt() lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turn on and off automatically(自动地) are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave a radio turned into a talking station. Any type of conversation makes a burglar(盗贼) think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on vacation, make sure that nothing collected in the front or back of the house. Make certain that the newspaper is stopped and that a trusted neighbor has been asked to pick up the posts.

Sam Allred suffers from a rare and incurable kidney (肾脏) disease. One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video and Sam became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldnt have expected the response.

(The television show) The Doctors called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California, says Sam, now 13, and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.

During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sams mother, had an idea about Sam writing a childrens book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sams experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.

I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people, Sam says.

Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.

A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital, says Sam.

Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sams ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.

Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.

Sams father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground. He asked the company for help.

FedEx Ground learned about Sams pillow project, says Erin Truxal, manager of public relations for FedEx Ground. We thought, What a perfect way for us to get involved.’”

The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.

Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the childrens hospitals in every state. His goal is simple: Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick, he says.

24 We can learn from the text that Sam Allred _____.

A. was a healthy boy

B. was popular at an early age

C. sang the song with his sister

D. worked in his fathers company

25Opening Hearts is a book that _____.

A. is a best seller

B. is about Sams sister

C. was published when Sam was 13

D. was written by Sam and his mother

26 What is FedEx Grounds attitude towards Sams career?

A. Doubtful.                 B. Surprised.

C. Approving.                D. Uninterested.

27 Which of the following can best describe Sam Allred?

A. Optimistic and warm-hearted.

B. Honest and responsible.

C. Unusual and confident.

D. Friendly and brave.

Rabbits are easy to raise. The long-eared animals are clean and quiet. They do not need a lot of room. And you do not have to spend a lot of money to feed them.      36     

One male and two females will produce in a year as many as fifty more rabbits. That is enough to provide a good supply of meat for a family.      37     

Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire fencing material. They do not have to be very big. But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each room should be about 75 centimeters wide, 60 centimeters high and one meter deep. Fencing is used for the sides and floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing should be about one centimeter square.      38      This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry. Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to protect it from rain.

     39       Feeding containers hung on the outside of the house let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through the holes in the wire fence.

Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbits cannot turn them over.      40     

One month after mating, female rabbits give birth to about eight babies. In two months, a baby rabbit should weigh about two kilograms. This is big enough to make a meal for a small family.

A. Or you can tie the containers to the wire.

B. Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat.

C. Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves.

D. Rabbits are also valuable for their fur.

E. Wastes from the animals will drop through the holes.

F. Many people enjoy keeping rabbits as friendly pets.

G. With rabbits, you get a big return from a small investment.
