　　When young children are learning to ride a bicycle, they require that their parents hold on to the back of the bike so that they gain confidence and won’t fall off．

　　However, when children leave to go to college, or get married, parents must accept that their children are riding off into their own future．At this time, parents shouldn’t stand back and with the children gone, they are left with an empty nest．How can parents get through this period of life?

　　The first thing you should do is nothing at all．You should actually take some time to rest since your child was born．Just relax and reward yourself for the work you put into your child．

　　Taking some time for yourself will allow you to adjust to the change and figure out how you really feel about your child’s departure(離開)．You shouldn’t compare how you feel with how other people feel, as everyone’s experience of an empty nest is different．

　　Exercise is a great mood lifter．A physical fitness program may have been one of the first sacrifices(犧牲)you made when your child came along; now, with fewer duties, you’ll have time to hit the gym regularly．If you have a friend who also has become an empty nester recently, you may have found a new companion．Not only will you get the chance to share dealing with tips, you’ll also create social opportunities for yourself, which will get you out of that empty house if you need to．

　　We all have those things that we say we’ll do or learn “someday”．If you’re an empty nester, the “someday” might just be now．

　　If you’re not sure exactly what to do in all your spare time, take your time and think about it．It will, however, probably be easier to figure out your dream when you’re out．Try exploring a nearby museum or attraction you’ve never visited．

　　Many parents may fear an empty nest because they worry that their little birds have flown away forever．Try setting up a regular phone date with your child．A once-a-week call may make you feel satisfied while giving your child a reasonable degree of freedom．

When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well,it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you  need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or  don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
【小題1】According to the passage, winners        .

A．deal with problems rather than blame others
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

D．blame themselves rather that others
【小題2】The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to        .
A．a(chǎn)voidB．a(chǎn)cceptC．improve D．consider
【小題3】When your colleague brings about a problem, you should        .
A．find a better way to handle the problem
B．blame him for his lack of responsibility
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
D．a(chǎn)sk a more able colleague for help
【小題4】 When problems occur, winners take them as      
A．excuses for their failures
B．barriers to greater power
C．challenges to their colleagues
D．chances for self-development
【小題5】 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Friendship is one of the basic bonds (紐帶) between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.
　　Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft (失去). If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate（清楚表達(dá)） their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.
　　“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.
　　As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts（性格內(nèi)向者）are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.
　　Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy (密切) is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity（相互性）, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.
【小題1】The second paragraph implies that _____..

A．teenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problems
B．a(chǎn) widow or a widower will die very soon without companionship
C．human beings need companionship and a sense of belonging
D．both A and B
【小題2】The degree of intimacy of friendship mainly depends on _____ .
A．a(chǎn)ge B．belongingC．personality D．culture
【小題3】The author thinks that close friends _____ .
A．can be easily formed when one is young
B．cannot be long-lasting
C．a(chǎn)re not rare for everyone
D．a(chǎn)re rare for most people
【小題4】The word “irrespective”(Last sentence, Para. 5) means _____ .
A．not respecting B．dishonoringC．regardless D．Considering

Soaring divorce rates around the globe are affecting the environment, American researchers suggested in a study released Monday.
Michigan State University researcher Jianguo “Jack” Liu and his assistant Eunice Yu said the increasing number of divorces leads to more households with fewer people and greater consumption of water and energy. They said housing units require space, construction materials and fuel to heat and cool, regardless of the number of inhabitants.
For example, in the United States in 2005, divorced households consumed an extra 73 billion kilowatt hours of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water. An additional 38 million extra rooms required heating and lighting that same year due to divorced households.
“A married household actually uses resources more efficiently than a divorced household”, Liu said. He said that in cohabitating households, people will watch the same television, share the air conditioning and heat and use the same refrigerator, all things that use energy at a regularly stable rate regardless of the number of users.
Liu said he was not condemning divorce, “Some people really need to get divorces.” He said that cohabitation was simply a more environmentally friendly option. Additionally, the researchers noted that trends other than divorce are also changing family living structures, such as the end of multiple generations of a family sharing a home and people remaining single longer.
“People’s first reaction to this research is surprise, and then it seems simple.” Liu said in a release, “But a lot of things become simple after research is done. Our challenges were to connect the dots and quantify their relationships. People have been talking about how to protect the environment and refuse climate change, but divorce is an overlooked factor that needs to be considered.”
He said the increasing energy demands caused by divorce should be considered by governments when they are creating environmental policies.
This passage is mainly meant to ____.
A. inform the reader of the increasing divorce in America
B. emphasize the importance of protecting the environment
C. tell people the effect divorce has on the environment
D. appeal to married people to keep their households
According to the passage, what’s the attitude of Mr. Liu towards divorce?
A. Supportive       B. Objective.       C. Indifferent.       D. Unclear.
It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A. divorced households will promote the sales of products
B. married households are more willing to protect the environment
C. divorced households contribute more to the society’s development
D. divorce is not taken into account when people are protecting the environment
From this passage we can find that ____.
A. divorce rates are quickly rising globally these years
B. cohabiting households will increase consumption of water and energy
C. to divorce is a wise option according to the passage
D. the end of multi-generations of a family will save energy

Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth. There are hundreds of kinds of sharks. Most are about two meters long. The dogfish shark, however, is less than twenty centimeters in length. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of matters in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help sharks find their food. Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean.
Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of all sharks lay eggs. The others give birth to live young. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
Sharks are important for the world’s oceans. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too large. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.
People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable.Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark. Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin A. The skin of a shark can be used like leather.
In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins. Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth, but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth. If too many sharks in one area are killed, that group of sharks may never return to normal population levels.
【小題1】. Which of the following words best describes the situation sharks are in?

A．Good.B．Endangered.C．Powerful.D．Expensive.
【小題2】 Sharks eat other fish, __________.
A．which is a threat to all other forms of life in the oceans
B．which is a protection for plants and other forms of life in the oceans
C．which helps prevent diseases from spreading
D．which helps the number of other fish to grow
