My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling lawyer, but I always knew he was special. He never criticized us, but used praise to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish(茂盛). If you don’t give them water, they die.” I remember as a child I said something unkind about somebody, and my father said, “Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I’ve always tried to follow the principle in my life and later in running my company.

Dad’s also always very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.

I decided to leave, and Dad tried to stay me from the decision at first, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I’ve always regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn’t pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill it.”

As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine in the U.K.. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad raised me.

This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to repair the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have an empty space between the wooden walls. When pulling down the walls, he found that there was a lizard(蜥蜴) staying there because a nail(釘子) from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It had been in a dark wall partition(夾層) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step—since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: What had it been doing? What and how had it been eating? Later, he didn't know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding it for the past 10 years.

Such love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature… What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: one lizard had been feeding the other for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this, just imagine how we can love if we try.

1. How did the Japanese feel when seeing the lizard there?

A. Frightened B. Enjoyable

C. Confused D. Usual

2. Why did the Japanese stop his work?

A. To watch how long the lizard can still live here.

B. To take out the nail and set the lizard free.

C. To have a rest by watching the lizard.

D. To find out why the lizard had survived there for 10 years.

3.What can we learn from the free lizard?

A. It teaches us never to give up our loved ones.

B. It teaches us to give more help to our loved ones.

C. It tells us to take pity on the stuck lizard.

D. It encourages us to live even longer.

Some educators told us that more years of school could help students get higher scores on intelligence tests. That was a finding of a study of teenage males in some countries. Now, another research shows that physical activity may help students do better in their classes.

The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education. They are using the time instead for academic（學(xué)術(shù)的）subjects like math and reading. The studies appeared between 2008 and 2014. They included more than 55, 000 children, aged 6 to 18.

Amika Singh:“ According to the results of our study, we can conclude that being physically active is beneficial for academic performance. There are, first, Physiological explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones(荷爾蒙)produced like endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽). And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you also perform better.”

Also, students taking part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and help them keep their mind on their work.

The study leaves some questions unanswered, however. Ms. Stash says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvement. This is because of differences among the studies.

The researchers said they found only two high-quality studies. They needed more high-quality studies to confirm (證實) their findings. They also pointed out that “results for other parts of the world may be quite different.”

Still，the general finding was that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs. Her paper on “Physical Activity and Performance at School” is published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.

1.The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A. a research on physical education has been done by the researchers

B. there is a possibility that physical activity leads to higher grades

C. the amount or kind of activity directly affects academic level

D. the research shows that the children aged 6 to 18 don't do sports

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Being mentally active is good for academic subjects.

B. The more hormones you have, the more stressed you will get.

C. The researchers have found many high-quality studies to prove the research.

D. The educators in some countries think studies, not exercise, mean much to students.

3.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.

A. good marks result from high-quality study.

B. findings are probably different in different areas.

C. physical activity will spread all over the world.

D. academic performance depends on the surroundings.

4.What's the purpose of writing the passage?

A. To call our attention to the sports at school.

B. To introduce all types of physical activities.

C. To represent the academic performance.

D. To improve students’ health.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。

It is important to introduce yourself in a creative, memorable way to distinguish yourself from the crowd. 1. . Since being witty(言辭詼諧的) doesn’t always come easily, try one of these creative introductions and separate yourself from the rest.

Write your first or last name on a piece of paper. 2. . So if your name is Tom, you might say you are tireless, optimistic and mild.

3. . Then say that you will do so in the words of your“best and worst critic”— your mother. By breaking the ice in this way, you can go on in either a humorous or serious fashion.

Introduce yourself silently, by drawing a picture of yourself on a large sheet of paper. 4. . In fact, in some situations, it may be better if you don’t. Put a title at the top of your drawing, if you like, such as “Hello! This is me.”

Turn the traditional introduction upside down by describing yourself in exactly opposite terms of who you are. Have fun with this“back door approach”, and keep people guessing just how much you are exaggerating(夸張). 5. . Don’t bother calling me tomorrow, because I will be hiding in a closet. Send text messages to my girlfriend while I drink a Bud Light on the job.

A. This introduction requires you to be gifted in art.

B. Freely admit that you don’t like talking about yourself.

C. It doesn’t matter whether you have artistic abilities or not.

First Lady Michelle Obama is a big fan of volunteering. Volunteering means working for free to help someone else. Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyone’s life,” she says.

Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teens volunteer than work for pay. Teens clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters, visit the elderly and more.

Some cities ---- including Seattle, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. ----require high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate. The student volunteers learn new skills and help their communities.

Many parents are in favor of the idea ---- they say volunteering helps teens build job skills. But most teens don’t want to be forced to volunteer. They say they are busy. And they say volunteering is only fun if it’s a choice.

Read both sides of the debate and decide.

YES

Volunteering can help teens get into college or get a job.

Many cities and towns need help. Volunteers can help keep important programs going.

Not all teens will volunteer if it isn’ t required. Schools should require students to do all they can to get ready for adult life.

NO

Most teens are already very busy with classes, homework, jobs and sports. Forcing them to do more isn’t fair.

It should be up to each person. Helping out doesn’t feel as good if you have to do it.

Finding a volunteer job isn’t always easy. Students shouldn’t be kept from graduating because of something they can’t control.
