              In the United States the most popular form of folk dancing has been square-dancing since the earlier days. In those days, men and women worked in groups to build a house or harvest crops. When the work was done, they usually danced merrily and happily in a store or in a farm kitchen.

                  Nowadays square-dancing is still performed. A square, which has four sides, is formed by four couples. Each couple stands on one side of the square, the man on the left and the woman on the right. That is to say, one square has eight people and they stand facing the center of the square.

                  Large or small numbers of people can dance together. Sometimes as many as 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing all at the same time. 

              Costumesare worn by those who do the square-dancing. This makes the dancing more colorful to watch. Men may have colored shirts and western trousers they wear only on special days. Women often wear full skirts of different colors with a pretty blouse. In some country areas, everyone wears their best clothes.

                  Today in all parts of the US you will find some schools, clubs, or other groups that are square-dancing for fun. They enjoy it very much.

              (1) In the earlier days, when did people do square-dancing?
              (2) How many people are square-dancing if there are 100 squares? 
              (3) What does the underlined word “costumes” mean in Paragraph 4?
              (4) What do people in some country areas wear in square-dancing?
              (5) How do people of the US like square-dancing today?

              Most people think that making a film is exciting. In fact, sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. Earlier this year, I worked in a new film. It was about a bomb threat on a big British ship. Two hundred people were needed to act as the passengers in the film. I was one of them.

                   Before we left, we were required to bring some warm clothes. These were necessary because the ship was going to spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.

                   Then the day came and we sailed out of Dover. The boat had on board the film crew, the director, the actors and actresses including Brinksley Meers, who acted the leading role, and us-200 amateur extras.

                  People came for different purposes. Some wanted to meet Brinksley Meers in person. Others were curious to see how a film was made. A housewife with her three children came for free holiday and a bit of adventure.

                   During the voyage, a lot of people were very seasick. And although the work was very interesting, it was also very hard. We often worked all day on one scene, performing it again and again under the hot lights. In the evenings, there were drinks in the bar, but most people were so tired that they went to bed early. The next day often began at 6:30 in the moming, sometimes with breakfast being filmed.

                   When the ship finally returned to port, most people had enjoyed the trip, but were also so tired that they at least needed a week's holiday.

                   Answer the following questions:

              (1) Which role did the author act in the film?

                                                                       

              (2) Why were the film crew asked to bring some warm clothes?

                                                                         

              (3) Who acted the leading role?

                                                                         

              (4) Why did the author say "they at least needed a week's holiday"?

                                                                          

              (5) Can you infer the author's purpose of writing this article?

              Reading can be fun, but it can also be time-consuming (taking a long time) if your speed is not as fast as you'd like it to be. An average reading speed can range from 200 to 350 words per minute, but that rate can vary depending on the material and your reading experience. Here are a few tips to help you improve your reading speed.

                  Preview（预览） the material you're going to read. Look at main headings, chapters divisions , and other related parts - to develop clues about the structure of the work.

                  Adjust（调整） your reading speed as you read the material. Slow down when you need to be sure that you comprehend one section（部分） of the material. Speed up if you are already familiar with or don't need to know other sections,

                  Readers can greatly improve their reading speed by taking in several words in the line of text at one time (instead of sounding out each word, or focusing on each letter of the word),    Another way to improve your reading speed is to pay more attention to the key words in the sentences. A significant amount of reading time is wasted on conjunctions, prepositions, or articles (i.e a, an, the, but, and, or, nor, but, etc.).

                 Talk about what you've read. Some readers find that by talking about their reading with friends of  fellow students, they are able to effectively synthesize(综合理解） the material. Find a reading spot, where nothing or nobody will disturb your reading.

                  Don't reread right away; it will slow you down. If you absolutely don't understand part of the reading selection, go back and review the material later.

              Practice. Practice. Practice. The best way to improve your reading speed is to practice reading. Try out some of these techniques(技巧), and then perfect the strategies (策略)that work best for you.

              (1) What is the main idea of this passage? (No more than 10 words)
              (2) What parts of a reading material help you to get the structure of it ?(No more than 10 words)
              (3) What way helps readers effectively understand the material? (No more than 10 words)
              (4) Please list at least three aspects that influence one's reading speed. (No more than 15 words)
              (5) Please explain the underlined word ¨perfect" in the last paragraph in English. (Only l word)

              The peacock replied，"My beauty had me kept in this zoo．In the years I spent here，I often thought to myself that if I were a crow，I could be enjoying a carefree life outside．Then after many months of internal struggles，I come to realize that I need to learn to be happy in what I have instead of expecting what I do not have．I am happy because I'm satisfied with my life here．"

              They're using the Internet to follow the One Road South team of adventures on a 14-month bicycle trip around the continent．Through a program called Reach the World，kids at 60 of the city's elementary and middle schools are getting a taste of global citizenship by following the One Road South bikers，a family traveling in Europe，a bike trek（艰苦跋涉） in Africa，and a Harlem teacher working with scientists in Antarctica through online videos，journals，and field notes．

              Given that motivation is so central to our lives，what do we truly understand about how it operates and about its role in our lives？The assumption is that it's driven by a positive，external （外部的）reward．Do this，get that．But the story is much more complex．
              One of the most striking aspects of motivation is that it often drives us to achievements that are difficult，challenging and even painflil．You may think that you would be happy to spend all your time sitting on a white-sand beach drinking and that as long as you get to fill your days this way，you would be happy forever．But while a few days of enjoyment might be fun from time to time，I can′t imagine that you would be satisfied by spending your days，weeks，months，years and even your life this way．
              Research that examines the differences between meaning and happiness finds that the things which give us a sense of meaning don't necessarily make us happy．Moreover，people who report having meaningful lives are often more interested in doing things for others，while those who focus mostly on doing things for themselves report being only superficially happy，in other words，just externally and apparently delighted．The essential quality of"meaning"has to do with having a sense of being involved in something bigger than the self．
              We all know people obtain a great sense of meaning even in the most unpleasant of circumstances．Many volunteers spend portions of their lives working in dangerous，war-tom areas，trying to keep disease and death from innocent civilians or teaching orphans to read．Their pain is real； their sense of doing something truly meaningfiil is substantial（丰富的）．They show how our deep-rooted desire to believe that our lives have purpose beyond our lifespan drives us to work extra hard，even to the point of our own personal suffering，in order to gain more meaning．
              The point is that these seemingly unusual and irrational （不合理的）motivations get us to do things that are complex，difficult and unpleasant．But they go beyond helping people in need．They motivate us in every aspect of our lives-whether in our personal relationships，in our individual pursuits or in the workplace．

              (1) Whafs the main idea of the passage？（No more than 10 words）
              (2) Why is motivation so significant to our life？（No more than 15 words）

              There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mother’s Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The Ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”. The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over the years the custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.

              Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people---politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials---and asked them to support her ideas: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.

              In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother’s Day into the state. The date chosen was May 10---the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis’s mother died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother’s Day throughout the United States.

              Soon there was a Mother’s Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.

              Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned woman died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million-dollar industry. (296words)

              People around us, especially our friends, have a strong influence on our lives. We all want to believe that they are the best but sometimes it is not so. As you change over the years, people and your friends change, too. If you are following a path of growth, then you must be prepared to grow new friendships too.

              Be open to meeting new people. No matter whether your life has changed or not, always be open to letting new people into your life. They are like a fresh wind on a hot day. They can inspire you. They can give you new ideas. They can become your new best friends. Don’t limit yourself to the circle of people you already know, or you will limit your own ways to grow.

              Make sure that you are a friend that you would like to have. Are you always there for your friends? Do you help them? Do you actually listen to them? Can you accept and understand the changes that happened or are happening in their lives? Do you enjoy giving as much as receiving? Answer these questions for yourself first and see if you are the one who needs to grow to the level of your friends.

              Explore new ways to make friends. New people won’t just suddenly appear in your life. If you want to meet somebody then you need to start exploring the world. You can make friends online. You can start a new hobby. You can just start talking to a stranger who seems interesting to you. Be the one who starts the relationship, not the one who is waiting for something to happen.

              (1) What does the passage mainly talk about? (No more than 5 words) (2) What does the underlined word “inspire” in the Paragraph 2 probably mean? (1 word) (3) What is the bad side of limiting ourselves to the circle of old friends? (No more than 10 words) (4) What should you do according to the third paragraph? (No more than 15 words) (5) What do you think of new friends? (No more than 20 words)
