Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not otherwise know or talk with. Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you’re not so sure of. For example: working on a deadline, staying organized, or being patient. And if you’re a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it. Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project. If so, you’ll know your whole group is rooting for you!
One of the most important things about group work is talking and meeting together. It’s a good idea to continually check with everybody on their progress to see if anyone needs help. You might think the first step is to figure out who will do what, but actually it’s getting to know another a little. Take a few minutes to chat. Even if you know each other well, it can help to take a minute to think about your skills and share your strengths and weaknesses. The second step is to go over ground rules from your teacher and any that you want to create together as a group.
小題1:Group projects can give you a chance to do the following EXCEPT ________.
A．get to know more friendsB．learn more than you do alone
C．work in an organized wayD．get rid of shyness forever
小題2:The underlined phrase “root for” in the second paragraph means _______.
A．likeB．supportC．offerD．prevent
小題3:What’s the purpose in checking others’ progress?
A．To learn what they will do next.
B．To find good topics to talk with them about.
C．To help them when they need help.
D．To make sure that their work is finished on time.
小題4: According to the passage, we can infer that _______.
A．group members should be your close friends
B．talking with group members should be the first step of group work
C．knowing persons is more important than your projects
D．rules from teachers are more important than working among group members

小題1:D

The life-long benefits of teaching children how to take care of their money make it well worth the effort. Children who are not taught these lessons pay the consequences for a life time. Some parents don’t teach children about money because they think they shouldn’t talk about money with children, don’t have the time, or think they don’t have enough money. Parents should take the time to teach children about money regardless of their income and should start when children are young.
Most people have strong feelings and opinions about money, based on childhood experiences and the values and beliefs of their families. Most often, these experiences, values, and beliefs are different for each parent. Parents should talk about these feelings and opinions and establish an unchanging approach（方式） to teaching children about money. This is important for the healthy development of children.
Here are some tips that parents can keep in mind as they begin teaching their children to manage money:
★ Guide and advise your children how to spend their money, rather than tell them what they can and cannot do.
★ Encourage and praise children rather than criticize their actions.
★ Allow children to learn by mistakes and by successes.
★ Be consistent（前后一致的） while taking children’s differences into consideration.
★ Include all family members in money management discussions, decision making, and activities that are suitable for their age. As children get older include them in discussions of limits and consequences.
★ Expect all family members to do some everyday chores based on their abilities without being paid.
★ Express your desire to have things you can’t afford. Children need to know that parents say “no” to themselves, too.
小題1:It is _____ for parents to teach their children about money management in their childhood.
A．easyB．uselessC．too earlyD．beneficial
小題2:15-year-old Harry isn’t good at managing his money. His mother is advised to _____.
A．explain to him how to manage his money better
B．pay him more money to deal with his chores
C．praise him for what he has done
D．a(chǎn)llow him to buy what he wants
小題3:When parents discuss how to manage the family finances, they should _____.
A．include their children in the discussion
B．express their desire to have some valuable things
C．pay more attention to their children’s differences
D．try to meet their older children’s needs first

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious.
Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always fall to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
小題1:Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?
A．It's small in size.B．It's hard to recognize.
C．It's covered with wax.D．It's hidden in trees.
小題2:What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A bee.B．A honey seeker.C．A bird.D．A beekeeper.
小題3:The honey guide is special in the way ________.
A．it goes to churchB．it gets its food
C．it sings in the forestD．it reaches into bees' nests
小題4:What can be the best title for the text?
A．Wild BeesB．Wax and Honey
C．Beekeeping in AfricaD．Honey-Lover's Helper

What do butterfly wings have to do with computer screens? What do birds have to do with high speed trains?
These may sound like strange things to put together. But scientists, inventors, and designers are doing just that. They are learning from nature to create new technology.
The word biomimicry (仿生學(xué)) combines two words: biology and mimicry. So people using biomimicry try to use examples in nature to design new technology.
Biomimicry is not a new idea. People have been studying nature for hundreds of years. Leonardo DaVinci used birds as models to invent his flying machine. And when the Wright Brothers made the first successful airplane, they also studied birds. In 998, Janine Benyus, a natural science writer and teacher, wrote a book about biomimicry. To develop her interest in the subject, Janine Benyus started the Biomimicry Institute.
The Biomimicry Institute is a non-profit organization. It brings together scientists, designers, inventors and many other people. It offers classes to teach people biomimicry. It provides money for people to research and test new technologies. And it wants all people, from children to adults, to think about new ways to learn from nature.
People involved with the Biomimicry Institute believe that biomimicry can help solve many of the world’s problems. Often, new technologies can harm nature, but this is not true for biomimicry. Let’s look at some examples.
Butterflies have colorful wings because light shines off them in a special way. Scientists want to copy these same ways to make light shine off computers. They hope this will make for more colorful screens.
Another example of biomimicry is the bullet train. It travels at speeds of over 250 kilometers per hour! But it had a problem: it made too much noise!
Through the observation of birds, scientists thought about a kind of bird, the kingfisher(翠鳥). The kingfisher can dive into water without making any noise because of the shape of its beak(喙). Researchers thought that if they could design the front of the train like this beak, the train would be quieter. Well, it worked!
小題1:The first paragraph is written to_____.
A．start a discussion B．make a brief summary
C．introduce the topic of the text D．test readers' knowledge on science
小題2:Why did Janine Benyus set up the Biomimicry Institute?
A．To honor the Wright Brothers.
B．To show her recent inventions.
C．To gather talented people for her research.
D．To explore the link between nature and technologies.
小題3:We know from the text that the Biomimicry Institute _____.
A．earns a lot by giving classes on biomimicry B．tells people about their technologies
C．gives free support to scientists D．teaches children about birds
小題4:The author gives the two examples at the end of the text to show _______.
A．biomimcry works harmoniously with natureB．the fast development of modern technology
C．how biomimcry changes our lifeD．how nature inspires scientists
小題5:What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Biomimicry is widely used in the world.
B．People copy nature to create new technologies.
C．The Biomimicry Institute was set up for science.
D．Birds play an important part in new technologies.

There is no question that teenagers need rules, which is often not a difficult thing for parents to give. What can be more challenging is giving teenagers their freedom. It can be difficult to draw the line between the two. However, some issues cannot be changed by discussion and require firm rules. For instance, rules should be established concerning driving the family car.
I will admit that I have no problem coming up with rules. To me they make life easier and they leave no room for questioning. What can be more difficult, however, is giving my teens their freedom. I guess there are really two primary reasons for this. One is that I sometimes am afraid to give them freedom. The second is that I’m not always so sure what the freedom should be.
It helps that I have a husband with whom I can discuss these problems. We talk about them, give our thoughts and then we come up with an agreement. Sometimes one of us might be more unwilling but we know that there comes a time when we really do have to learn how to let go of the reins (韁繩) a bit.
If we try to make life have nothing but rules, we are more likely to see our teen’s rebelling (反抗). They need to know that while we do have certain expectations, we also trust them to begin making their own choices and decisions. How else can they do that unless they are given the space and room to do it?
It’s really all about balance and I will be the first to admit that it can be a challenge to carry out. However, it is a necessary part of growing up. Yes, teens definitely need rules but they also need freedom.
小題1:According to the text, we can infer that the writer________.
A．refuses to give her children freedom
B．finds it difficult to make rules
C．doesn’t have a good relationship with her children
D．has trouble in giving freedom to her children
小題2:According to the writer, only rules without freedom will make the children _______.
A．strong-willedB．rebelliousC．weakD．independent
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Rules are difficult to make for parents.
B．Rules and freedom are similarly important.
C．We should give children freedom as much as possible.
D．Rules are more important than freedom.
小題4:What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A．Problems.B．Children.C．Rules. D．Reasons.

Anne Whitney, a sophomore (大學(xué)二年級學(xué)生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. "I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher. “Another student in biology had similar experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't even write them down!"
　　These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Contrary to people’s common belief that poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety plays a role in students’ achieving low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.
　　Special university advising courses try to help students. In these courses, advisors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tensions. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.
　　An expert at the University of California explains, " With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great. "
小題1:To "blank out" is probably______.
A．to be like a blanket B．to be sure of an answer
C．to be unable to think clearlyD．to show knowledge to the teacher
小題2:Poor grades are usually believed to be the result of______.
A．poor sleeping habit B．laziness
C．test anxiety D．inability to form good study habits
小題3:Test anxiety has been recognized as______.
A．a(chǎn)n excuse for lazinessB．the result of poor study habits
C．a(chǎn) real problem D．something that cannot be changed
小題4:A University of California advisor said______.
A．a(chǎn)ll students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety program
B．a(chǎn)lmost all students felt less stress after taking a University of California advising course
C．students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a special test anxiety course
D．students found it easy to relax as soon as they entered a University of California advising course

B
How do apology languages work? Have you ever tried to apologize, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering a partial apology in a “l(fā)anguage”, that was foreign to your listener. The five languages of apology include:
Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”
List the hurtful effects of your action. Not “I am sorry if …”, but “I am sorry that…”. You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.
Apology Language 2:“I was wrong.”
Name your mistake and accept fault. Note that it is easier to say “You are right” than “ I am wrong”, but the latter carries more weight.
Apology Language 3: “What can I do to make it right?”
How are you now? How shall I make amends(彌補) to you? How can I restore your confidence that I love you— even though I was so hurtful to you?
Apology Language 4: “I’ll try not to do that again.”
Engage in problem-solving. Don’t make excuses for yourself such as, “Well, my day was just so…” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself from putting them in the same bad situation again.
Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”
Be patient in seeking forgiveness. They may need some time or greater clarification(澄清) of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.
Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch(橄欖枝) of peace.
小題1:The passage mainly talks about___________
A．5 tips for apologies that workB．5 ways of refusing apologies
C．the function of apology languagesD．the importance of apology languages
小題2:According to Paragraph 1, your apology may be refused mainly because________
A．your listeners can’t understand your dialect.
B．your listeners can’t hear what you said clearly.
C．your apology is not sincere.
D．your apology is not expressed well enough.
小題3:When offering an apology, which of the following does the author prefer?
A．“You are right”B．“I am sorry if …”
C．“I was wrong.”D．“Well, my day was just so…”
小題4:In the last paragraph, the author tells us even if your apology may not be accepted, at least ___________.
A．It’s your fault any moreB．your mind will be at peace
C．your friend will make peace with you.D．your apology is true to your heart
