“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say it. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to feel them!

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

1.When people buy things in shops, they often _____.

A. try them on first

B. keep their right hands on them

C. ask about them

D. feel and touch them

B. people feel the things too often

C. people know how to use the things

A. Touching is helping us to see better.

B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum(論壇) asking what “PK”meant.

“My family has been watching the ‘I Am the Singer’ singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.

To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

In the case of the “I Am the Singer”singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition raking.

Like this father, Chinese teachers at Middle schools have also been finding their students using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write the compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.

“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.

“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” is Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.

Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, meaning an ugly looking femal) or a Qing Wa (frog, meaning an ugly looking male ) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!

76.By writing the article, the writer tries to _________.

  A.explain some Internet jargons             B.suggest common Internet jargons

  C.laugh at the Beijing father                D.draw our attention to Internet jargons

77.What does the underlined word Internet jargons mean?

  A.Internet language    B.Internet action     C.Internet behavior    D.Internet fashion

78.What does the writer think about the word “PK”?

  A.Fathers can’t possibly know it.            B.The daughter should understand it.

  C.Online game players may know it.         D. “I Am the Singer” shouldn’t have used it.

79.The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons__________.

  A.are used not only online                    B.can be understood very well

  C.are welcomed by all the people              D.cause trouble to our mother tongue

80.What would be the best title for the passage?

  A. A Puzzled Father!                      B.Do You Speak Internet English? 

C.Keep away from Internet English!          D.Kong Long or Qing Wa?

科目：初中英語 來源：北京中考真題 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀理解。
     It's 2009. You feel sick, so you go to the doctor. She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks 
what you've been thinking about lately. When you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of 
thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily.  She says that the way you think is causing some of
 your illness.
     Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way 
that they do, called psychologists, are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every 
part of your body through your nervous system (神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)).  Now scientists have proved that how you think
and feel can havean influence on the health of your body.
      Stress (壓力 ,緊張)  is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody
 has stress more or less; nobody's life is perfect.  In fact, stress is necessary.  Without stress, wa would never 
leam anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored'to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It
can weaken your body's protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can evenmake you more
likely to have an accident.
      When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce achemical called adrenaline (腎上腺素).  Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat.  Today you have a different kind of stress. 
Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can't fight or run away
from, so you don't use up all that adrenaline.  It just stays bottled up inside you, and that's what can do
 something bad to you.
     What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren't under so 
much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work 
things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can't change a stressful situation.  Sometimes
 you don't even want to.  A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.
       The link (關(guān)聯(lián)) between your body and brain works in two ways.  Your body can help your mind deal 
with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body.  It's important to get
enough sleep and eat nutritious meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that
you can do is daily exercise.  If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym, you give your 
body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. Of course, a person who isn't used to much physical 
activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before 
starting any exercise programs.
1. A psychologist is a person who may help you with your ________.    
A. illness and abilities                      
B. thoughts and behaviour
C. mind and nervous system            
D. physical activity and daily exercise
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. You shouldn't go to the gym if you are under stress.
B. One can do his homework to bum up adrenaline.
C. Diseases and accidents are caused by stress.
D. Everyone needs stress to improve himself.
3. From the last sentence of Paragraph 5 we can infer that ________.    
A. it's difficult to change a stressful situation
B. it's not stressful when a good change takes place
C. a big change will cause another stressful situation
D. a stressful situation can't be changed without any effort
4. What is probably the best title for this passage? 
A. The Body-Brain Link                    
B. The Causes of Stress
C. The Advice on Health                    
D. The Nervous System
