When we are reading, we often see one or two graphics in a text. Have you ever thought about these questions: Why are they there? What information do they give? Do they help with our reading and understanding?
Graphics are things like pictures, maps, charts and tables. They give information to readers. Very often, we can see different kinds of graphics in books, magazines and newspapers. Writers use graphics to get the readers' attention and give them some particular(特别的)information. Graphics help to understand the given information in a text. And graphics put the information in a particular order so that it's easy to understand when we take a quick look.
It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But many things are easier to show than to tell and they may also be easier to understand. Graphics are just the right things that give a great deal of information but it doesn't take much time to read and understand.
The right way to read and understand a graphic is to look at the picture and the words together. In a graphic, only a few words are used to explain what the picture shows you. Sometimes, numbers and percentages(百分比) are also given to go with the words to explain things.
Now look at the graphic on the right. It is how a researcher used a graphic to show the number of hours spent sleeping by British teenagers each day. Can you understand it?
(1)、Which of the following is mentioned as a graphic?A、A letter. B、A poem. C、A map. D、A name card.(2)、The writer thinks graphics are important because ____________.A、less space is taken on a page B、a picture is worth a thousand words C、a lot of time can be saved for writers D、many things are easier to show than to tell(3)、When we read a graphic, we should ______.A、find out if there are any tables in it B、put the information in the right order C、count how many words there are in it D、look at the picture and the words together(4)、The graphic given in the passage tells us that ________.A、5 British teenagers sleep for 8-9 hours every day B、Chinese 18-year-olds spend 5-6 hours sleeping every day C、17% of the British teenagers sleep for 3-4 hours each day D、42% of the Chinese teenagers spend 6-7 hours sleeping each day4. 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项Shyness can be an unhappy feeling. But the good news is, you're not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you're around other people or in a new situation.
______ Scientists say such things as genetics(遗传基因), life experiences, and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.
What happens if you are shy? Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy.
How do people overcome (克服)shyness? This is what Gilbert tells us. "When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it worked for me. "
But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness take time and needs practice.
Here are some tips given by scientists.
Think of what to talk about before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.
Let people know you're shy. If you're shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.
Make things easy for the other person. Remember, you're not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good-for example, say hello or smile.
Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.
(1)、Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2?A、What is shyness? B、What makes people shy? C、Can shyness be good for us? D、Can we overcome shyness?(2)、The example of Gilbert in Paragraph 4 is given to _____.A、show how people overcome shyness B、introduce a shy girl called Gilbert C、tell the right time to practice smiling D、explain the steps of overcoming shyness(3)、What does the underlined word "overnight" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A、Correctly. B、Suddenly. C、Slowly. D、Finally.(4)、Which of the following is the right way to overcome shyness?A、Don't let others know that you are shy. B、Wait for others to say hello to you first. C、Choose several skills to practice at a time. D、Get ready before you join in a social situation.5. 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项My mother is a teacher, and I grew up with the challenges (挑战) a teacher faces. I often asked her, "Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching? "The answer was always the same. "There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth it."
Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was, "it's that one child, that one special moment."
One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the "Team" events and we were moving on to a "High" one called the wire(钢索) Walk.
In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs(木桩)in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.
When I asked who would try, a few girls raised their hands, and they finished the Wire Walk with little difficulty.
But when it was Susie's turn, it seemed that she didn't really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She Answered softy, "I suppose."
Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach for the first peg. The other girls cheered for her. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realised she would not go much further.
Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight(紧紧地), looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, "I can't."
The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.
"I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!" Mary broke the silence.
To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.
Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from Mary.
We all cheered.
Moments like this keep me doing what I do. The young hearts continue to fill me with courage.
(1)、Susie stopped halfway up to the wire because ________.A、the teacher asked her to do it B、something was wrong with it C、she was too afraid to move on D、it was too high for her to reach(2)、Mary broke the silence in order to ________.A、encourage Susie B、relax the writer C、try again herself D、draw Susie's attention(3)、From the story of Susie and Mary, we can learn that ________.A、helping others is helping ourselves B、a word of encouragement matters a lot C、outdoor activities bring people closer than ever D、a good method plays an important role in teaching(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A、That One Moment B、The Wire Walk C、Love and Courage D、The Young Hearts三、词汇运用

Doing "Clean "Exercise
When you go for a run outside, chances are that you'll find litter all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop and pick it up? If you choose the second, you're part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging.
The word "plogging" is the Swedish phrase" plocka upp"( pick up) and the English word "Jogging"(running slowly)put together.
What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves to protect your hands. While collecting rubbish, ploggers learn to classify (分类)and deal with it correctly, too.
Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise, For example, a 30-minute logging burns around 288 calories(卡路里), compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.
So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some litter along the way? Your body and the environment will thank you.
