An old man and his wife used to live on the second floor.Bill’s mother and the old lady were good friends.Unfortunately the lady died last month.Her husband could not live alone,so he had his grandson move over and live with him.

You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be never racking (緊張) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand faster?
“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” “All relationships go through power struggles but,” he says, “if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in.” That feeling of “I’ve always loved you more” may be subverted (顛覆,破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling (大聲爭吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative.” In fact, the person who says “I love you” first may also be the one who says  “I’m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is “Please don’ t be unfaithful to me” ? By saying “I love you”, they are really saying “Do you love me?” If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”
小題1:What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The importance of "I love you" B.The meaning of "I love you"
C.The time of saying "I love you".D.The place of saying "I love you"
小題2:In the first sentence the author means that____________.
A.it is easy to say "I love you"
B.it is hard to say "I love you"
C.we have many troubles in our life
D.people usually do not know when to say "I love you"
小題3:According to the expert, a good relationship should be _____________.
A.fair and equal B.fair and kind
C.powerful and equalD.confident and fair
小題4:In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means __________.
A.being low in spirit B.having only one hand
C.being activeD.being passive
小題5:What is the most important for you to consider when somebody say "I love you" to you?
A.The intention.B.The place.C.The time.D.The determination.

Beijing (Xinhua): When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)!It’s Curarpikt!"
At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that’s exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying (角色扮演) "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (《獵人》)by Yoshihiro Togashi.
"I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15?year?old girl. "I’m moved by his sad story and I’m attracted by his courage and personality."
In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind?hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture(擄獲)the people who killed his tribe(部落).
Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series(動(dòng)畫片)of Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt"in a cosplay show.
"I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It’s really exciting to see young people wearing the make?up and costumes of characters that you’ve read about and are familiar with."
"But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."
Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October.
"It’s a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said.
But she never talks about her hobby with her parents.
"They think it will distract me from my studies. I don’t want to upset them,that’s my secret hobby," she said. "It’s also why I don’t dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others."
小題1:What’s cosplay according to the passage?
A.When cosplaying, comic fans wear costumes and pretend to be their favourite comic characters.
B.Cosplay is a kind of performance in which you play a Curarpikt.
C.Cosplay is a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi.
D.When cosplaying, some funny teenagers play some characters in the animated series.
小題2: Shi Jia cosplayed Curarpikt ______.
A.in order to attract her fans
B.because she liked animated series
C.because she was greatly attracted by that role
D.because it’s her secret hobby
小題3:The underlined word "distract" means_____.
