              Many of us mistakenly believe that it’s wrong to think we have many good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self-criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed(有缺点的)?

              If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn’t like you might be fearful, shallow, busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.

              Don’t take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.

              You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people looking for loyalty, fun, sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior because you don’t have much money or you don’t drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don’t have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.

              The point is that you can focus on anything and believe it’s the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.

              (1) According to the author, _______plays an important role in making friends.
              A. admitting your shortcomings                        
              B. self-criticism
              C. modesty                                                     
              D. confidence
              (2) If you are not liked by a person, _________ .
              A. you should find the reason in yourself
              B. you’d better talk with the person face to face
              C. you may not be the one to be blamed
              D. you and that person misunderstand each other
              (3) We can learn from the third paragraph that _________ .
              A. your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws
              B. your weaknesses may also be your strengths in some way
              C. your negative qualities cause a person to reject you
              D. you’ll have few friends if your flaws are more than your good qualities
              (4) Which of the following is true according to the author?
              A. It is important to lose weight.
              B. It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.
              C. Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.
              D. If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.

              Service Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, and in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.

              According to a representative (代表）of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard（不达标的）, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they don’t like the meats, but they’re certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic（有机的）, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won’t taste strange to your children.

              If you’re facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly（令人难以置信地） boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to long list of recipes to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format（示范格式）, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced.

              While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky （挑剔的） kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need.

              (1) Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ______.

              A. serving flash-frozen meat

              B. expressing children’s complaints

              C. instructing different ways of cooking

              D. supplying natural food without chemicals

              (2) The underlined word “eradicated” in the last paragraph can be replaced with ______.

              A. covered                   B. removed         
              C. reduced          D. accepted

              (3) From the passage we can learn that Service Foods can do the following EXCEPT ______.

              A. cook food for picky kids                               
              B. teach how to prepare meals

              C. provide natural and organic meat                    
              D. help reduce complaints about foods

              (4) What will the readers probably do after reading the passage?

              It’s not what you look at that matters;it's what you see.

              ——Henry David Thoreau

              Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.
                  Why slow?
                  When people look slowly at a piece of art,they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And that's an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.
                  How does it work?
                  One day each year,people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience.That's it.Simple by design,the goal is to focus on the art.In fact,Slow Art Day works quite well this way.
                  By the numbers
                  Over l,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.
                  700 venues(museums,galleries,artist studios,sculpture parks,public an sites.etc.)have hosted Slow Art Day events.
                  Participants love Slow Art Day
                  Feedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive.Here's a sample:
                 “I loved taking the time to just‘be’with the works,particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.It's a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble.Discussion afterwards was fun,interesting,informative and eye-opening.I look forward to doing it again.”
                Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday,April 8,in museums and galleries worldwide.Join us and experience art differently.

              Last year，the most-read children's books at least in the U．K．were almost all fantasy novels．But why is this the case？What exactly does fantasy offer to young readers？
              What's important to point out here is that fantasy writing has come to be considered as belonging to popular culture，and is therefore generally regarded as being of lower quality than realism．
              This idea was formed in me during childhood by my mother，who believed that fantasy was"rubbish"．She was always trying to persuade my two brothers to let go of their dogeared copies of American author David Eddings'books and read something"proper"．
              I had also met some people who were against reading fantasy．While living in Finland，where I joined a book club，I was told at my first meeting that the club didn't read"genre"hooks，which meant that realism was"in"，but everything else including fantasy was"out"．When it comes to the subject of children，discussions about which books are"better"for them often focus on the fantasy and realism debate，causing Professor John Stephens to write that：One of the more curious sides to the criticism of children's literature is the strong wish to separate fantasy and realism into competing types，and to state that children prefer one or the other，or"progress"from fantasy to realism or vice versa（反之亦然）．
              A quick survey of the big children's publishing trends over the past ten years confirms that fantasy is as popular as ever in the children's book scene．From the 450million copies of Harry Potter books sold over this period to the more recent Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series，it would seem that children are as enthusiastic about fantasy as ever before and rather than"progressing"out of fantasy，the popularity of fantasy in the young adult market would suggest just the opposite．

              (1) What was the author's mother's attitude toward fantasy？ ______
              A. Uncaring．
              		B. Cautious．
              C. Unfavorable．
              		D. Enthusiastic．
              (2) The book club the author joined in Finland ______
              A. didn't have a realistic aim
              B. was always full of people in and out
              C. had a tense atmosphere in most cases
              D. was not acceptive of various literature styles
              (3) What is the main idea of the passage？ ______
              A. Fantasy books are and continue to be popular among children．
              B. Realism books are the best-sellers of the present time．
              C. Young readers are moving away from fantasy．
              D. Fantasy books are better than realism ones．

               If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

              Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart ofwhat really matters in your life.

              Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.

              We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?

              Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives.

              C. Your trouble in life.                    
              D. Your life experience.
              (2) Why does the author say they are inspired every day?
              A. They possess different kinds of superpowers.
              B. They have got the power to change the world.
              C. Some people around them are making the world better.
              D. There are many powerful people in their life and work.
              (3) What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?
              A. Learning more and contributing more to a cause.
              B. Rising above self and acting to help others.
              C. Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.
              D. Trying your best to help the poor.
              (4) What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
              A. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.
              B. Much more progress will be made in the near future.
              C. The work on health is the most valuable experience.

              Dolphins（海豚）are not fish，but warm-blooded animals．They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language．In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds．But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals．Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years．
              Like some animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around．They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food．We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw．
              Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people．
              There is a story about sailors in the 19th century．In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack．From 1871to 1903Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way．Then in 1903a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack．He recovered（恢复）and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area-except for The Penguin．
              Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them．

              (1) Dolphins are different from many other land animals in that they ______ ．
              A. live in groups
              		B. are warm-blooded
              C. have large brains
              		D. have their own language

              A. He was lonely and liked to be with people．
              B. They enjoyed playing with him．
              C. He was seriously wounded．
              D. They wanted his help．
              (3) By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ______ ．
              A. dolphins are friendly and clever
              B. people are cruel to animals
              C. Jack is different from other dolphins
              D. dolphins should be protected by law

              There are many idioms in English．An idiom is a phrase that we can't understand from the meaning of each word．The following are some of them．
              As the crow flies
              When a bird flies from place to place，it takes the most direct route．But when people drive，they have to follow roads and often go farther．When people give a distance"as the crow flies"，they mean the shortest distance between the two points，not the distance you would have to travel by following roads．
              As Dan and his mum drove along the river，they could see the beach on the opposite side．Dan asked"How far is it to the beach？"
              "It's only about a quarter of a mile as the crow flies"his mother said．
              Blow hot and cold
              In one of Aesop's Fables，a man blows on his fingers to warm them up and then blows on his soup to cool it down．In both cases，the man is opening his mouth，but what comes out is different．If a person says one thing and later says the opposite，we say that the person is blowing hot and cold．
              "Is Felicia going to try out for the soccer team this year？"Stacy asked．
              "I don't know，"Tricia replied．"Last week she was saying yes，but this week she's saying no．She's really blowing hot and cold．"
              Break the ice
              Nowadays people use the phrase to refer to ending an awkward silence by beginning a conversation．

              Australia's koalas could die out within 30years unless immediate action is taken to stop the losing in population，according to researchers．They say development，climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply．
              The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years．The number of koalas was once estimated to be more than 100，000，but now is as few as 43，000．
              The foundation collected field data from 1，800sites and 80，000trees to calculate the numbers．In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20，000koalas a decade ago，a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching．
              The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests，hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional value of their main food，eucalyptus （桉树） leaves，leading to poor nutrition for them．Koalas，which live in the forests in Australia's east and south，are very picky about what types of the leaves they eat．
              Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said："The koalas are missing everywhere we look．It's really no tree，no me．If you keep cutting down trees you don't have any koalas．"
              She is hoping the new figures will persuade the government's Threatened Species Steering[．Com]Committee （TSSC） to list the koala as threatened．But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koala's status as one of the country's favorite animals would not be a factor．"There's a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them．We don't consider that，"Mr Beeton said．
              (1) The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3to show that ______ ．
              A. the forests are being damaged heavily
              B. the environment is being polluted seriously
              C. koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas
              D. the number of koalas is dropping quickly
              (2) Global warming is an important cause of koalas'reduction because ______ ．
              A. koalas can hardly stand the hot weather
              B. the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value
              C. koalas cannot get enough water to drink
              D. the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hotter and drier weather
              (3) According to Bob Beeton， ______ ．
              A. the koala is one of his favorite animals
              B. a decision will be made to protect koalas in the future
              C. they needn't pay special attention to koalas
              D. koalas needn't be protected at all．
