Habits,whether good or bad,are gradually formed when a person does a certain thing again.He is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, and then a habit is formed.Once a habit is formed,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to get rid of.It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live older. Persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live,and sometimes become ruined by them.
There are other habits which,when formed in early life,are of great help.Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life,such as early rising,honesty and so on.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness,lying,stealing and so on.These habits are all easily formed.Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.
We should keep away from all these bad habits,and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

There was a time when the owners of shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters(匪徒)in return for “protection”. If the money was not paid immediately, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Getting “protection money” is not a modern means. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.
Then Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a group of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to those who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money with this method. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero .When he died at eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had his picture painted, which was in memory of “this bravest man”.
【小題1】What protection did Chicago gangsters give to those who paid them?
A.They saved those people’s businesses from destruction. |
B.They left those people’s business unharmed much. |
C.They sent soldiers to serve them no matter what help they needed willingly. |
D.They didn’t take those people’s lives |
A.he gave himself in order to become better known to the Italians |
B.he earned through his sharp practice of selling his ‘protection’ |
C.he needed so as to hire his soldiers to Italians |
D.was given him in telling his services to the others’ |
A.because they couldn’t help admiring his bravery and boldness(膽大) |
B.a(chǎn)s he aided the citizens in peacetime when business was bad for them |
C.he had played an important role in their daily life |
D.for he lived so long and was given a state funeral by the Florentines |
A.who were of great importance to the poor |
B.who made the businessmen do whatever they were in need of |
C.who were always ready to be sent abroad |
D.who did harm to others |
A.a(chǎn) sort of national hero | B.a(chǎn)n experienced leader | C.a(chǎn) brave soldier | D.a(chǎn) noble gangster |

It had been a long,hard,wonderful day.The two of us had walked from the sea’s edge through the length of a beautiful valley,climbed a superb mountain,travelled its narrow,rocky ridge(山脊),and now stood on its final peak,tired,happy and looking for the perfect campsite.
The experienced backpacker has a natural feeling for such things,and our eyes were drawn to a small blue circle on the map,like an eye winking at us.We could not see it from where we were,but we followed our judgement and went down steeply until it came into view.
We were right.It was a calm pool,with flat grass beside it.Gently taking our packs off,we made the first of many cups of tea before pulling up our tent.Later that evening,over another cup of tea and after a good meal,we sat outside the tent watching the sunset over a sea dotted with islands,towards one of which a ferry was slowly moving.It is not always so perfect,of course.On another trip,with a different companion,a thoroughly wet day had ended at a lonely farm.Depressed at the thought of camping,we had knocked and asked if we could use a barn(谷倉) as a shelter.
Backpacking could be defined as the art of comfortable,selfsufficient(自給自足的) travel on foot.Everything you need is in the pack on your back,and you become emotionally_as_well_as_physically_attached_to_it.I once left my pack hidden in some rocks while I made a long trip to a peak I particularly wanted to climb.I was away for nearly three hours and ended up running the last stretch in fear that my precious pack would not be there.It was,of course.
The speed at which the backpacker travels makes this the perfect way to see any country.You experience the landscape as a slow unfolding scene,almost in the way it was made;and you find time to stop and talk to people you meet.I’ve learned much local history from simply chatting to people I met while walking through an area.At the end of a trip,whether three days or three weeks,there’s a feeling of achievement,of having got somewhere under your own power.
After years of going out walking just for the day,many people start backpacking simply through wanting to stay out rather than cut short a trip.
【小題1】The writer and his companion knew there was a pool because ________.
A.they had been told about it |
B.they could see it on the map |
C.they had seen it earlier in the day |
D.they could see it from the top of the mountain |
A.The map. | B.The pool. |
C.The mountain. | D.The campsite. |
A.They were too tired to put up their tent. |
B.They wished they could have found a farm. |
C.They were anxious about the coming weather. |
D.They were delighted with the spot they’d found. |
A.It is more than just a practical aid. |
B.He walks better when he is wearing it. |
C.It is not a good idea to leave it anywhere. |
D.He might die on the mountains without it. |

Pop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty(皇室).Wherever they go,people turn out in their thousands to greet them.The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling,colorfully dressed idols.The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls Royces,private helicopters or executive aeroplanes.They are surrounded by a permanent entourage(隨從)of managers,press agents and bodyguards.Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported,for,like royalty,pop stars are news.If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty,they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well.It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public.They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds who idolize them.They are no longer private individuals,but public property.The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated,for their rates of pay are great.
And why not?Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly.The great days of Hollywood have become legendary:famous stars enjoyed fame,wealth and adulation(奉承)on an all time scale.By today's standards,the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular.A single gramopphone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did.The competition for the title“Top of the Pops”is fierce,but the rewards are truly huge.
It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way.Don't the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries?Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency—often more than large industrial companies—and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(國庫).So who would begrudge them their rewards?
It's all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others.People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg.For every famous star,there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living.A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards.He has chosen security and peace of mind,so there will always be a limit to what he can earn.But a map who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks.He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top.He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure.But he knows,too,that the rewards for success are very high indeed:they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it,he will certainly earn them.That's the essence of private enterprise.
【小題1】The author develops the passage mainly by ________.
A.comparing different ideas |
B.giving explanations |
C.inferring |
D.listing typical examples |
A.be jealous of | B.be satisfied with |
C.be anxious about | D.be crazy about |
A.He who laughs last laughs best. |
B.If you venture nothing,you will gain nothing. |
C.He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. |
D.Success belongs to the persevering. |
A.People are blind in idolizing stars. |
B.There is fierce competition in becoming pop stars. |
C.The government taxes pop stars very little. |
D.Pop stars' life is more luxurious than that of royalty. |

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.
For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Old people worry more easily. Most of them plan things in advance, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents don’t like music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough , after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.
If you prefer to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
【小題1】_______ are to blame for the quarrels between parents and their children, according to this article.
A.Parents | B.Young people |
C.Neither parents nor their children | D.Both Parents and their children |
A.a(chǎn)sk for advice before they really start to do anything |
B.do things without thinking carefully ahead. |
C.be very strict with themselves |
D.think in the same way as their parents do |
A.do everything according to his own wish. |
B.do everything the way his parents do. |
C.do everything beyond hid parents’ control. |
D.hold himself responsible for everything he does. |

There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time. And the best part is that these are the kind of fun, family memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family Game Night
Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of their own. Charades(字謎游戲)is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
Family Art Time
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing-take some old magazines, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape. Or let them use leaves, branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent. Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work-you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.
【小題1】When playing the game charades, kids are supposed to ______.

B.sing a song for each other in turn |

It's time to remind myself what I love about life here in California,USA, to remember what I desperately miss when I go home.
Real radio
In the USA there are so many radio stations that those iPod tuner things don’t work at all. There is, simply, no dead air. It took me a while to discover the USA's many public radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements. KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs. But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC. But before you feel jealous — it’s all online. My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night. Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it. But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA. And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.
The festivals
I’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live. It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them. I have already exchanged my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.
The famous people
When I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people. It's awkward for me. I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets. Except yes, I have. No,not lions. I have met some famous people. I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood. Many of my professors are famous directors. The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS. This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus moment of some sort. But if you think about it, it's inspiring. What it means, is that I, litlle me (right now, also "just a person") could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.
【小題1】The underlined sentence "There is,simply, no dead air." probably means____.
A.there is no useless radio programmes in the USA |
B.there is no useful radio programmes in the USA |
C.there is no polluted air in the USA |
D.there is no advertisements from the radio programmes in the USA |
A.I often leave campus for more than few days |
B.I often attend some of them in person |
C.I bought a bigger Ford? Mustang |
D.I can share many reviews and performances online with my friends in South Africa |
A.a(chǎn)re just Like lions | B.a(chǎn)re well-known but ordinary |
C.a(chǎn)re disappointing | D.a(chǎn)re inspiring |
A.a(chǎn) director in America | B.a(chǎn) professor in South Africa |
C.a(chǎn) student in America | D.a(chǎn)n actor in South Africa |

Donna is 19 years old and loves animals, which is why I’m always happy to leave my dog with her when I go on holiday. Donna also helps to train hunting dogs, but recently, her boyfriend told me, she returned home from a farm in tears after being told to hit some dogs.
“She wasn’t being asked to hit them because they didn’t behave well,” he said. “She was told to punch these puppies with a closed fist simply to let them know who is the boss,” Donna refused. Good for Donna. In my view, you hit an animal for only two reasons: as a way to teach it an important lesson to protect it from danger, such as not into the road; or because you like hurting animals.
Last summer, I attended a horse race. I don’t know much about horses, but I was alarmed when I saw a horse with a huge ulcer (潰瘍) on its legs. “Surely this horse won’t race?” I asked. I was very surprised that nobody in the crowd seemed concerned.
The horse began the race, but later it fell heavily. It had broken its leg. The next thing I saw was its dead body in a bag, being driven past. No one seemed to care, except those who had bet on it. I know people care for horse racing, but do they really care for horses? I doubt it.
Oh, but it’s a tradition, I hear you say. Wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we didn’t occasionally hit, shoot and chase animals? Traditions are made by man and can be unmade. It was once acceptable to kill servants when their master died, to visit the mental hospitals to laugh at the patients or to watch public execution (執(zhí)行死刑).
Nor should it be forgotten that in our progress to a more civilized world, animals have played an important role: they have fed us, carried us, worked for us, rescued us, died for us and sometimes just saved us from loneliness. Surely by now they deserve our kindness. At the very least, they deserve our respect.
【小題1】Donna was asked to hit the young dogs because ________.
A.they misbehaved |
B.their owner disliked them |
C.people on the farm enjoy hurting them |
D.it was a way to train them to obey people |
A.strike | B.stroke | C.scold | D.pump |
A.To explain the traditional horse race to readers. |
B.To prove that the weak horse can’t win in the race. |
C.To show that animals are treated unfairly by humans. |
D.To say that people care more for horses than horse racing. |
A.People no longer watch killing criminals in public. |
B.The author cannot accept anyone who hits the animals. |
C.It was a traditional practice to kill servants for their dead master. |
D.The author thinks it is possible to change the traditions made by man. |
A.No One Cares for Animals Nowadays. |
B.Let’s Protect the Endangered Animals. |
C.Show Animals the Respect They Deserve. |
D.The Stories Between Animals and People. |

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water.Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球場) in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”.They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all, it’s free.
【小題1】The author thinks the golf is resource-hungry because of the following EXCEPT that ________.
A.Golf wastes large areas of countryside |
B.Golf runs out of much water |
C.Golf is bad for people’s health |
D.Keeping golf court in good condition needs too much energy |
A.hiking in the hills | B.swimming in the pool |
C.playing basketball in the gym | D.motor racing in the desert |
A.it improves our health | B.it is an outdoor sport |
C.it is recommended by experts | D.it uses fewer resources |
A.examples and explanation | B.comparison and persuasion |
C.facts and descriptions | D.figures and conclusion |
