　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.

　　One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”

　　The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”

　　The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.

　　This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.

　　The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”

　　The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless !”

　　“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”

　　The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.

　　“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”

　　【文章大意】本文是篇记叙文，讲述的是一个小男孩模仿他爷爷读书，可是每次合上课本后都不知道读了些什么，于是他就去问他爷爷，读书有什么好处?他爷爷让他带着装煤的篮子去打水可是每一次无论他跑多快到家篮子里面都没有水，于是他给他爷爷说用竹篮打水是没有用的，他爷爷让他看看篮子，这才发现篮子比以前干净了。到了最后他爷爷告诉他：读书的时候你可能没有理解或记住内容，但是读书能够从你外到内改变你。

　　阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　How can you help kids cope with （对付）stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available.

　　Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day -- especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’ re important to you.

　　Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions.

　　For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.

　　You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.

　　Remember that some level of stress is normal, Let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.

　　When kids can’t or won’t discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor （顾问）or other mental health experts.

　　Most parents have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home

　　59. What is the purpose of the text?

　　A. To share the author’s ideas on proper parenting.

　　B. To persuade parents to spend more time with their kids.

　　C. To advise parents how to help their kids deal with stress.

　　D. To seek different ways to help solve kids’ problems.

　　60. Why do some parents feel it difficult to spare quality time for their kids?

　　A. Their kids are growing so fast.

　　B. They have too much housework.

　　C. Their kids are losing interest in them.

　　D. They are tired out after work.

　　A. it does no good to your kids

　　B. it doesn’t work in practice

　　C. your kids may not feel stressed

　　C. Kids should get rid of the negative feelings.

　　D. Everybody feels angry, scared, lonely or anxious.

　　July 27th, 2010 was a typical English summer’s day—it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs.

　　At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that.

　　Although our situation was very hard, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought, “We didn’t have a straw hut (茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing. We’re lucky.”

　　We moved back home in August. With December coming, there’s still reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait—I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts—living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush—we have our home back, and that’s the main thing.

　　1. The underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph means　.

　　A. wrong 　B. missing 　C. right 　D. difficult

　　2. Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph?

　　A. Because they were able to move to a new place.

　　B. Because many other places were flooded.

　　C. Because their straw hut was not swept away.

　　D. Because some others suffered even more.

　　3. It can be inferred from the text that the author　.

　　A. was sick of staying upstairs

　　B. cared much about her children

　　C. could not stand living in a wooden house

　　D. did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood

　　4. What does the author mainly want to express by telling herstory?

　　A. She valued human feelings more than before.

　　B. She realized she almost didn’t need possessions.

　　C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed.

　　D. She thought her own home was the most important.

　　Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

　　It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.

　　Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing“the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior (自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: “You’re just saying that to make me feel good, I know it’s not true.”It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

　　Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.

　　A. the cause of shyness
