The easy way out isn't always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu(菜譜) which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozens would be better, so I doubled（加倍）everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough (面團(tuán)) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home , we sat down to eat Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. It looked like some unknown being from outer space. I could see why Doug was so shaken. I had to admit what the “l(fā)iving thing” was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed(尷尬)by the whole thing -- Doug or me.

    A. to tell an interesting experience

C. The cookbook was hard to understand. D. She did not follow the directions closely.

_ Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?

A. She didn't see the use of keeping it         B. She meant to joke with her husband.

C. She didn't want her husband to see it .  D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun.

_ What made the dough in the rubbish bin look frightening?

A. The rising and falling movement.    B. The strange-looking marks.

For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize（夢(mèng)想）about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self–worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us work hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortable inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
【小題1】The passage tries to tell us the importance of          .

A．body sizeB．a(chǎn)ttitudes
C．culture differenceD．different beauty standards
【小題2】 What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．All the problems.B．All the properties
C．The whole worldD．The absolute truth
【小題3】 What can be inferred about the author?
A．The author is a Samoan
B．The author succeeded in losing weight
C．The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
【小題4】. According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
A．They feel angry about the regained weight
B．They are indifferent to the regained weight

Skiping classes violates school rules and a poor attendance record will damage your final mark. But some college students still try every means to escape classes.   The number of these rebels may be much bigger than you think.  Three students from Anhui Normal University established Itaoke. Com in June. The website quickly attracted 2 000 registered members in three months. On the website, students share their experiences of skipping classes and even post ads to look for someone to stand in for them to attend courses.  Its embarrassing for universities to see this shameful behavior discussed:

However，it's good for schools and teachers to know via the website the reasons why students skip classes，according to Professor Xiao Haitao from Shenzhen University: Xao pointed out that some`students skip classes because of laziness.Others play truant because the teaching is truly dissatisfactory,“Universities can seek improvements to give a cure to the class-skipping problem，”said Xiao.

Chen Yang，21，thinks that he is  “forced" to skip some courses because of the poor teaching.  the  senior，majoring in English at Yangtze University, thinks that he's wasting time in the classroom when the teacher reads the textbook word for word or hands him outdated reading materials. He would rather skip classes to study in the library, watch online videos of Harvard or Yale lectures，or sit in on(旁聽(tīng)）other courses he is interested in. Chen draws a clear line between himself and those who skip classes in order to get more sleep or fool around on campus. He emphasized：“I skip classes with a clear goal，which is to probe into areas I'm interested in and broaden my horizons.”

Li Sicen，President of the National Taiwan University，seems to be on Chen's side.  Li claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons.

However，Professor Xiao warns students that Li is not giving permission for students to skip  classes. Xiao suggests that Li was just showing his understanding of truancy in a limited number of cases.

In Professor Pan Cuiqiong's opinion，students tend to jump to the conclusion that a certain course is boring and useless. "To clear students' misunderstanding，teachers should use materials closely related to students’lives and adapt interactive teaching methods，”said Pan.

Besides offering teachers more training，schools also need to give students different optional courses and ensure that they can attend the courses they are interested in，according to  Professor  Xiao.  Many Chinese students have the experience of being kicked out of an optional course because its size is limited. They are then forced to choose courses they dislike and are likely to skip them. We may learn from Sydney University in Australia.  There aren't any problems with numbers---if a course is popular then there will be more than one class per week.

1.The underlined word“rebels" in Paragraph 1 refers to           

A．students who embarrass their universities

B．students who establish websites

C．students who skip classes

D．students who quarrel with their parents

2.Chen Yang Skips some courses because_       ___.

A．his school is more student-centered

B．he wants to get more sleep

C．he wants to fool around on campus

D．the teaching style needs much improvement

3.According to the passage，we learn that Professor Xiao__     __.

A．is giving permission for students to skip classes

B．thinks it's embarrassing for the three students to establish ltaoke. com

C．thinks the website will help to know why students skip classes

D．claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons

4.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to stop students skipping classes?

A．Teachers should adopt practical materials and flexible teaching methods.

B．Schools should offer teachers more training:

C．Schools need to ensure that students can attend various courses they are interested in.

D．Students should be punished if they skip classes.

If I were writing a history of my family, some of the darkest moments recorded would be those surrounding Christmas trees. One would certainly think otherwise; selecting and putting up our trees have always been filled with risk. For example, one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain, a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it into the house. Once we did, my father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it. Another December, perhaps the very next one, we bought a tree earlier than we ever had before. We were happy with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable. We easily placed it in a stand, decorated it from top to bottom, and then self-satisfiedly sat back by the fire in its soft light. Two or three days passed and the truth could not be hidden; we had bought a tree cut so long ago that its needles were coming off. There was nothing to do but undecorate it, take it down, and begin tree shopping again. Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another difficult task. When we brought it home, once again it seemed larger than it was in the great outdoors. To complicate matters, we had bought a new stand, one whose nuts （螺帽） and bolts （閂子） worked more mysteriously than those of our old stands. I persuaded two young neighbors to stop playing basketball and to help us get the tree into the house and set it correctly in the stand. Unfortunately, no one noticed the mud on our helpers' shoes, so only after removing several reddish brown spots from the carpet were we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments （裝飾）were stored. Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales more painful than these. I don't care to hear them, as my family's experiences are enough to cause me to make the following suggestion:" Let's forget the tree next Christmas. Let's simply hang some flowers on the front door and over the mirror in the hall. "

1.The darkest moments in the writer's family were with the fact that _____.

A．the family bought big Christmas trees

B．they had problems decorating their Christmas trees

C．they had problems picking suitable Christmas trees

D．they had problems finding carpenters for putting up Christmas trees

2.We can learn from the passage that the writer would like to _____.

A．forget about Christmas stories

B．get the neighbors to put up their trees

C．buy a better tree to celebrate Christmas

D．make other decorations rather than Christmas trees

3.When the writer said " my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain", he means ____.

A．she bought the tree at a cheap price

B．she didn't really want to buy it

C．she had to bargain hard with the salesman

D．she couldn't afford a more expensive one

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．How to Select a Christmas Tree

B．No More Christmas Tree for Us

C．Dark Moments of Life

D．Christmas Without Trees
