A

Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was discouraged, tired, and plain sad. My focus was on myself. After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials I was.

I expressed my upset state to my mother, hoping for some pity. Instead, she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don't you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon?”

I didn't really want to, but decided that I didn't want to go back to my other problems just yet.I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate.Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small note of empathy(共鸣）.

That afternoon I dropped by my friend's house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Jamie's face was one that I could never put into words. It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun；it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.

I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barrie attempted to describe, “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”

21 The author made cookies and arranged them on a plate______.

A. so as to show off his skills

B. not to let his mother feel down

C. to stop thinking about his own worries

D. not to show his sadness to others

22. How did Jamie feel when seeing the author's coming?

A. She poured out all her worries.

B She was surprised and scared.

C. he couldn't express herself.

D. She lit up very soon.

23. What do you think of the author's mother?

A. Sympathetic. B. Instructional. C. Willing. D. Selfish.

Studying in the US，I find that many Chinese students are too shy to socialize with American

students. They say it's the language barrier that stops them. But in my mind，the reasons are

beyond language．

The first reason may be that these students feel a little inferior to American students，

especially when they don't speak English well. Because of the cultural and economic differences

between the Western and Eastern worlds in general，some Chinese students subconsciously think highly of Western students.

Second，some Chinese students are too afraid of feeling embarrassed. Because of the

language problem，Chinese students often find it hard to understand the jokes their American

peers make. Some may feel so embarrassed that they try to avoid talking to Americans.

There is also a cultural reason. China and the US have very different cultures. It's natural

that students from these two countries find it hard to understand each other. Some Chinese

students choose not to watch American TV shows or listen to American music since they don't

understand the jokes in American comedy or the lyrics of a popular song. That leads to further

segregation between themselves and American peers.

I'm no expert，but I do want to give a few tips to students who are planning to study abroad

and are interested to fit in. First，be confident. Your foreign classmates are not superior to you．

Don't think of them all as hard-to-reach people. Second，always say yes to social activities

whether they are organized by your school or your friends. Go to watch sports games even if you

are not playing and are just there to cheer for the team. Third，don't try to improve your English

merely by memorizing vocabulary. Try to watch TV shows，read popular books，and just talk to

people. Remember，language is not a barrier and it never will be. The real barriers exist because

you are not trying.

24．The underlined phrase“inferior to”in Paragraph 2 probably means“ ”．

A. junior to B. colder than C. senior to D. interested in

25．What does the author think is the barrier for the Chinese students in Paragraph 4？

A. Music. B. Comedy. C. Segregation. D. Culture.

26．What is the purpose of the text?

A. To introduce the US culture. B.To attract Chinese students.

C.To give some suggestions. D. To overcome the language barrier.

27．Which part is the text most likely taken from in a newspaper?

A. Discovery. B. Campus. C. Science. D. World.

C

Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can't make us tire．It sounds absurd．But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳)．To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered that blood passing through the brain， when it is active，shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins at and fatigue products．But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day．

So far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning．The brain is totally tireless．So what makes us tired?

Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes．One of England’s most outstanding scientists，J．A．Hadfield，says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin．In fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare．”Dr．Brill，a famous American scientist, goes even further，He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems．”

What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored，anger, anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers．Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue．We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body．

28．What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood．

B．Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work.

C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins．

29．According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?

A．Challenging mental work B．Unpleasant emotions

C．Endless tasks D．Physical labor．

30．What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' idea?

A．He agrees with them． B．He doubts them．

C．He argues against them． D．He hesitates to accept them．

31．We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic，sitting workers need to____．

A．have some good food． B．discover fatigue toxins

C．exercise regularly D．enjoy their work

KING LEAR

Part 3

NARRATOR: As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father, she begins treating him disrespectfully. When Lear wants to speak to her, Goneril tells her servant, Oswald, to say sh
