"SAI BABA! Sai Baba! Sai Baba! Hahahaha!"
"Today is Shimla' s big day! We have a celebrity visiting our city! Hahahaha!" Rani' s cheeks burned with embarrassment and tears stung her eyes as she elbowed her way to the exit through the crowd of teasing boys in the packed school bus. It wasn' t the first time she had been called Sai Baba, after the famous Hindu holy man(印度圣人) she' d seen on TV with his trademark afro(爆炸式卷发) towering over his head.
But this time had to be the worst. Rani jumped off the school bus, angry thoughts hovering inside Rani' s head as she marched home in the drizzling rain. Why did her hair have to curl like a giant cotton candy balloon just when she wanted it to behave? Why, why, why, fumed Rani as she turned the back door key.
"Rani, is that you? " Mama called from the family room. Suddenly Rani' s cousins, Amit and Sumit, came charging toward her. "How many eggs does Rani have in that nest on her head? " screamed Amit. "Let me get that wig(假发) off Rani' s head!" shouted Sumit. Before she could think, Rani had fled out the door and went back up thé road she' d walked down minutes before. Halfway up, she slid unseen behind a green curtain of bamboo. Tearing through the wild growth, she made her way down a narrow mud path into a clearing(空地). She threw her schoolbag on the ground and breathed hard.
"I hate my hair!" she cried. Collapsing on her schoolbag, she bitterly remembered the time she' d spent trying to smooth her hair in vain. Before long, she fell into a fitful sleep.
"RANI! RAA-AANI!"
Rani woke up to Mama' s calls. She sounded anxious. "I' ll never go home, " she promised herself darkly. Mama let Amit and Sumit make fun of me. Papa would never have done that. He would listen to me and stand by my side. The minutes wore on. Alone in her secret hideout, Rani watched the shadow of Mama get longer and begin to disappear as dusk fell.

How to accept change in life and embrace it positively
Change is the only constant in life. Because whether we want it or not, change is inevitable.
It is "change" that makes our life move forward. It' s "change" that makes life exciting and worth living. Let' s see how to stay strong when we face changes in life.
Accept the situation
Changes happen expectedly and unexpectedly. But there can be changes that happen so suddenly that you might have to experience painful days and have a tough time coping with them. Give yourself sometime to come to terms with it. You may have to go through a mourning period where you have to experience all kinds of emotions. Let the emotions come out and make space for them. It' s normal to feel sad and a sense of loss when you think about your old life. Seek support and if possible, take a few days off to find your strength. It' s important to learn to deal with the transition phase before you fully start living the new reality.
Embrace the unknown
Most of us are afraid of the unknown and therefore are resistant to change. Even if it is for good, we hesitate to accept change because human beings love structure and routine. But I have often experienced in my life that the "unknown" I feared so much was not that scary at all, once I went through it. And that my worries were something that my mind made up. Truth be told, most of the things I worried about didn' t happen anyway. If we are not willing to embrace the unknown, we may miss out on lots of good things that life has kept in store for us.
One of the reasons why change is difficult to accept is because of the range of emotions we feel when we confront change. Acknowledge your fears, but stop yourself from being tunnel-visioned. Our mind has a way of bringing up possible scenarios and fear of them. But I have learned over the years that most of the things we fear don' t happen and usually, something good comes from change. I recently learned how to embrace emotions from one of my spiritual-teachers. She would say, "When you feel emotions, give them a name and acknowledge that they have come to ' visit". "
A. Acknowledge your fears.
B. Look at how far you have come.
C. The sooner we learn to make peace with this fact, the better.
D. We fear the unknown because anything can happen to us there.
E. Expected or planned changes can buy us sometime for preparation.
F. It' s important to embrace your feelings and accept that they are there.
G. People who have experienced the loss of loved ones often talk about how that experience changed them.

6、阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Whether we are sitting down or standing up, still or moving, body posture influences our mood. Several studies have shown this link between physical posture and mood. Others have shown a relationship between our mood and our cognitive (认知的) performance, including memory, reasoning, learning, and the speed of reaction and processing of information.
So a logical question arises. Can body posture influence our cognitive performance?
Previously, a New Zealand team (University of Auckland) carried out an experiment on posture when we walk, especially in the street. The team had found a very clear influence of our posture on our mood and confidence. It appears that walking with a hunched back, bowed head and motionless arms have a negative influence on our mental state.
Indeed, the researchers found that the simple act of straightening up, standing up straight, with your head held high, and gazing forward gives us a serious boost of confidence. Not only does our spontaneous posture have a psychological effect, but by correcting it, it is possible to bring about improvement in the long term.
In this other study, this time carried out by an Austrian team (Friedrich Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg), researchers observed the same phenomenon, this time in a sitting position. Young adults were invited to participate in tests presented as intended to assess their ability to concentrate. In fact, the researchers had them sit in different postures—from upright to very slumped (消沉)— in order to note their influences on mood and cognition.
A first observation indicates that "sitting upright" is associated with a better overall mood. It is also found to have a positive influence on the speed of processing information and completing tasks, although the test pass rate does not vary significantly with posture.
Finally, and surprisingly enough, blood pressure is a little more favorable in an upright position. To further complete the list of benefits of sitting upright, we will add that it is widely recommended for protecting the back in case of work that requires sitting for a long time.
(1)、Why does the writer mention the studies at the beginning?A、To introduce what cognitive performance is. B、To emphasize the importance of body posture. C、To prove the results of those studies are wrong. D、To raise a new question to be studied and solved.(2)、What does the underlined word "hunched" mean in Paragraph 3?A、straightened. B、bent. C、loose. D、solid.(3)、What does the first study indicate?A、Posture influences our mental state. B、Straightening up has a negative effect. C、Gazing upward builds up confidence. D、Walking posture is especially important.(4)、What can we learn about sitting upright?A、It has mental and physical benefits. B、It helps improve the test pass rate. C、It requires sitting for a long time. D、It increases the blood pressure. -
7、阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Do you crave chips, pizza, donuts, or cake? These kinds of foods are high in sugar and fats, which make them delicious but not nutritious. A recent analysis suggests that certain ingredients in these types of processed foods can be addictive.
According to the research published in the journal Addiction, certain foods can trigger the same feelings as drugs. It all comes down to what' s happening in the brain. When we feel happy, it' s due to a flood of the feel-good chemical dopamine(多巴胺) in the striatum. This region is part of the brain' s reward circuit. The striatum gets a dopamine rush when something good happens. Drugs and alcohol can cause a similar high. So, it turns out, can some popular snack foods.
"We' re designed to find carbohydrates(碳水化合物) and fats, " says Ashley Gearhardt, a psychologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Evolving such tastes helped our ancestors "overcome famine and make sure we survive, " she explains. That critical role shaped the brain' s reward system, making us hard-wired to enjoy carbohydrates and fatty foods.
The problem isn' t with all foods containing carbohydrates and fats. Fruit is full of sugar. Oats and other whole grains have lots of carbohydrates. Nuts and meat have fat. But such unprocessed foods-eaten in a form that' s similar to how they grew-also contain other nutrients, such as fiber, that slow digestion. That limits how quickly our bodies can absorb the nutrients.
Cookies, candy, soda, fries and other highly processed foods lack those additional nutrients. Such foods contain ingredients that have been highly changed from their natural state. They' re chock full of easy-to-absorb carbohydrates and added fats. What' s more, they often contain ingredients that don' t naturally occur together. When we eat these foods, we get a quick "hit" of carbs and fats that give the brain a boost. That makes us want to eat them again and again.
(1)、According to the article, which types of food can be addictive?A、Fruits and grains. B、Cookies and cake. C、Nuts and meat. D、Oats and fiber.(2)、Why are humans hard-wired to enjoy carbs and fatty foods, according to the article?A、They provide quick energy. B、They helped our ancestors survive. C、They are full of fiber. D、They contain natural sugars.(3)、How does the brain react when we eat certain highly processed foods?A、It gets a boost of carbs and fats that make us feel full. B、It slows down the digestion process. C、It triggers the same feelings as drugs. D、It releases feel-good chemicals that prevent addiction.(4)、What is the main idea of the article?A、Certain processed foods can create addictive responses. B、Unprocessed foods are better for you than processed foods. C、Our brains are born to enjoy carbohydrates and fats. D、The lack of additional nutrients in processed foods makes them unhealthy. -
8、阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
During my first year in college, I was silent. I was too afraid of saying something wrong.
I declared a religion major as a sophomore and took a class from Barbara, a young theologian. My mind was split open by a range of new thinkers and writers and by the quality of Barbara' s questions, I finally had something to say and the energy to say it. I was a frequent visitor during Barbara' s office hours, a rocket of words. She listened and calmly responded, a perfect contrast to my feverish ramblings. I loved what she saw in me, which was a range of abilities I had never seen in myself. In the following years, our relationship gradually deepened, but I was always conscious of a teacher-student dynamic.
This changed fundamentally when I became a parent. I had my son in March 2010, and Barbara was one of the first to congratulate me. When, nine months later, my child was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease, a rare and always terminal illness with no treatment and no cure, she sent me a letter-handwritten on a white legal pad. For the next two and a half years, Barbara wrote me regular, sometimes weekly, letters, remarkable letters that are revealing, loving, and kind.
The letter, written right before my son died when he was three, was the most personal and perhaps the most profound. "I think he' s made you better by opening up the great fire of your love, " she wrote, "with his small but magnificent existence. " I have never in my life read a more deeply comforting sentence, one that spoke to my grandest hopes, my deepest fears, and the only faith that remains to me, which is a belief in chaos. Our love had bloomed and deepened from a guarded mutual respect to a richer, deeper friendship.
Mentors are meant to lead those in their charge into fresh understanding, help them sort and filter new experiences, assist in the project of making sense out of the chaos that is human life. Mentors observe and accompany the darkest despair, the wildest sorrow, and the most unexpected joy.
(1)、What can we learn from paragraph 2?A、The author took the class because she excelled in theology. B、Their relationship changed significantly beyond a teacher-student mode. C、The author was a frequent visitor to Barbara' s home after working hours. D、Barbara' s peaceful exterior was a contrast to the author' s overexcited talk.(2)、What does the underlined word "This" in paragraph 3 refer to?A、The way Barbara treated her students. B、The fact that the author kept silent in class. C、The role of the author as a college student. D、The relationship between Barbara and the author.(3)、What transformed the relationship between Barbara and the author from a mutual respect to a deeper friendship?A、Barbara' s efforts to solve the problem. B、The empathy shown in Barbara' s letter. C、The author' s in-depth understanding of Barbara. D、Barbara' s congratulations on the birth of the author' s son.(4)、What does the author think of Barbara?A、Demanding and dedicated. B、Responsible and reasonable. C、Insightful and inspiring. D、Aggressive and ambitious. -
9、阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Getting to know your money personality can help you rein in your spending habits and take back control of your personal finances. Here, finance saving money expert Pete Ridley at CarFinanceSaver reveals the UKs core money personalities, along with actions to adopt that reduce the negative consequences of each personality type.
The Spontaneous Spender
A spontaneous spender refers to a person that exhibits a "spend now, think later" attitude. They can find it tricky to differentiate between "need to haves" and "nice to haves", and often feel "spender' s guilt".
"Before you make a purchase, take time to decide whether the item is a ' need to have' or a ' nice to have' . This will aid in avoiding splurges (挥霍) that provide short term satisfaction and post-spenders" guilt. " says Ridley.
The Determined Saver
An underlying sense of worry and fear can be at the root of a persistent saver, and their determination to save disguises an overwhelming fear of money. "Saving is great, " says Ridley, "but it' s important to regard money as a friend and not an enemy. Always be sure to make non-essential purchases. These items don' t have to be a major expense, but just enough that you acknowledge that money can be there to be enjoyed and not just put away. "
The Money=Status
This personality type can live beyond their means by making purchases that they don' t need, striving to keep up with others and saying yes to friendship plans that they cannot afford, to keep up the appearance of financial wellbeing.
"It' s here that you can adopt the 50/20/30 rule: 50 percent essential living expenses, 30 percent disposable income and 20 percent saving and paying debts, " suggests Ridley.
This will maintain financial wellbeing while helping to acknowledge that money doesn' t necessarily equal status or even impress those around you.
(1)、Which type of money personality is not mentioned in the text?A、Cathy struggles to check her bank balance. B、Eden tends to spend on impulse with little pre-planning. C、Gill demonstrates a determined saver approach to her finances. D、Joyce buys an unaffordable luxury to boast about her financial wellbeing.(2)、What does Ridley suggest people do if they are always making purchases to impress others?A、Manage your money wisely. B、Spend some money on non-essentials for joy. C、Check your finances regularly. D、Take time to assess how much you love the items.(3)、In which section of a magazine can the text be found?A、Health. B、Business. C、Finance. D、Culture. -

How to Teach Kids About Setting Goals
It can become an easy process for a lifetime if kids are taught goal setting at an early stage. They need to be offered a project to make them work on achieving something personal.
Set smart goals. A goal needs to be measurable, specific, realistic and timely in order to be effective. Kids prefer generalizing when it comes to goal setting. For example, one may want to be the best basketball player in the team. What exactly does a goal like this mean? You need to ask them to be specific. Begin with scoring two baskets in each game (or however many; just something measurable!) so that they can keep pushing the barriers to achieve greater goals.
Write down goals. Recent studies show that when goals are written down, the individual is likely to achieve them.
Kids have the habit of choosing goals that just seem impossible to achieve. You need to teach them the meaning of short and long-term goals and give your child reality checks.
Set up review points. You can ask them to write their main goal on the poster and mention the steps they would take for achieving their goal. It is important to help your children have their own checkpoint systems that actually work for them.
A. Learn to set a long-term goal.
B. How is a goal like this measured?
C. Give up goals that are not realistic.
D. This tip is supported by science as well.
E. Goals can never be achieved unless they are written down.
F. It is essential for everybody, especially for kids, to set goals in life.
G. You can also ask them to track their progress once a week or month.

14、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I used to be very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I won the B Division long jump and was a good sprinter(短跑运动员). As a result,I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet. Before the sports meet, I had put in a lot of hard work and dedication during the training sessions. I woke up early every morning to go for runs and did countless drills to improve my technique. My teammates and I supported and encouraged each other during training, pushing ourselves to do better and achieve our goals.
The meet lasted two days. I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete. Large tents were provided for the young competitors on one side of the track. Despite being assigned the last tent that was furthest from the track, I made the best of the situation by decorating it with our school colors and creating a supportive atmosphere.
The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 8x50m relay later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was vastly outclassed. We finished our jumps, and I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8x50m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race date arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter's gun go off. When the first runners took off, I watched nervously and excitedly as my team runners kept up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My turn arrived and I took the baton (接力棒)cleanly and began my run.
As a result, I left the meet empty-handed.

The road to learning how to take personal responsibility can be a difficult one, but starting simple really works. Here is some advice you need to follow.
·Focus on the basics of your journey.
Just like the ocean, our life has many ups and downs. If you start building a solid sailboat, you can withstand (经受)the weather. The solid boat represents your basic needs: safety,self-esteem(自尊)and connection with others.
·Open your sails and be willing to fail.
Do not lay too much stress on the destination. Just head in the right direction. You're supposed to take the courage to really open your sails. When you devote yourself to what you are doing, you will forget about your insecurities and worries.
·
As you sail through life, are you making goals and plans, or are you simply letting things happen and watching life pass? Working on goal setting enables you to measure your progress and take responsibility for all you have and haven't done to achieve them.
·Live in the moment.
As you're moving through the ocean of your life, are you really concentrating on each present moment, or are your thoughts set on the past and future? Do you complain about mistakes others made that forced you into a difficult position? Start taking personal responsibility for each thought and emotion that passes through you.
A. Reach your goals.
B. Move forward with intention.
C. Then begin to tackle the more difficult aspects.
D. So check in and make sure that they are being met.
E. Stop blaming others or situations if you really want to enjoy each moment.
F. Everyone can edge closer to that stage through taking personal responsibility.
G. You must enjoy the sail by finding purpose and following that desire to explore.

In a new finding that goes against current conservation patterns, re-introducing wolves and other predators (捕食者)to our landscapes does not amazingly reduce deer populations, restore worsening ecosystems or significantly threaten livestock (家禽),according to a new study.
"The hopes and fears that we have on both sides of the debate-neither are realized, " said conservation biologist Bernd Blossey, professor of natural resources and the environment at Cornell University. On the one hand, there is little evidence for claims that re-introducing large predators such as wolves, bears and mountain lions is a major threat to livestock and wild animals such as white-tailed deer and mule deer. When the wolf was taken off the endangered species list, hunters and livestock producers, and some state governments, called for action to safeguard the wildlife they wanted to hunt and the livestock that was their livelihood. But it is nearly impossible to independently evaluate those claims, Blossey said. Other factors also kill livestock, from lightning strikes to extreme weather and diseases.
On the other hand, the claim that wolves and other predators can control deer populations and restore worsening ecosystems lacks evidence as well. "Meaningfully reducing deer populations in Wisconsin alone would require tens of thousands of wolves, which is ecologically and socially impossible, " said Blossey. And wolves alone can't repair the ecological damage humans have done, he said. A popular video "How wolves change rivers, " which has been viewed more than 43 million times, suggests that the re-introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park benefited the entire ecosystem. "I was as fooled like everybody else by the lovely stories that came out of Yellowstone saying, you bring wolves back, and you restore the rivers, and everything's satisfactory, " said Blossey.
We should see large predators like wolves as a valuable part ecological communities in their own right, Blossey said, and not just for their function. "As long as people learn to live with and tolerate the new (old) neighbors, a careful but not fully conflict-free existence appears possible, "said Blossey.
(1)、Which of the following does Blossey probably agree with?A、The loss of livestock may not necessarily be due to wolves. B、People should not take wolves off the endangered species list. C、People should take action to protect livestock and wild animals. D、The threat to predators comes from climate change and diseases.(2)、Which word best describes Blossey's attitude to the video "How wolves change rivers"?A、Tolerant. B、Unclear. C、Doubtful. D、Favorable(3)、What does Bernd Blossey say about large predators in the last paragraph?A、They upset the balance of the ecosystem. B、They should rightfully stay in their habitats. C、They are key to restoring the environment. D、They change people's view about rewilding.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、The value of humans' living together with animals. B、The importance of restoring worsening ecosystems. C、A debate over the threat to livestock and wild animals. D、A clarification of the effects of bringing back the wolves. -

Researchers set up an experiment in which 5-year-olds were tested with their fellows under different circumstances of transparency (透明) and different audiences. They set up a sticker machine that in some settings was transparent, and other settings in which only the giver of stickers knew how many stickers he could give. They had children give out stickers in both settings. The results were striking: children were consistently generous only when the receiver and audience of the stickers were fully aware of the donation options. Children were notably ungenerous when the receiver of stickers couldn't see the options.
The researchers said, "Children only showed consistently pro-social behavior in our study in the condition when they could see the receiver and their allocations (分配物)were fully visible; in all other conditions, children were statistically ungenerous, giving the receiver the smaller amount of stickers. "
They made the conclusions that at a very early age, children are learning how to position themselves socially. Well before they apprehend the sociology of their networks and what social reputation really means, they think strategically about giving as a function of how they can gain a reputation with a peer as a generous citizen or pro-social agent when the receiver observes them.
Children change their behavior in response to having an audience. Help children give to others in full view, delivering meals to families, and in private, dropping off treats or surprises for those who need support without signing their names. Also, children should be reminded that thank-you notes are lovely but unnecessary to receive. When we give gifts or lend help to others, try to help children remember why-to provide something for another. It really doesn't have to be recognized. When a thank-you card doesn't come, it doesn't make a gift any less valuable or meaningful for those who were lucky enough to receive.
(1)、What did the researchers discover?A、The givers' behavior greatly inspired the receivers to help in return. B、The children gave out an equal number of stickers in both settings. C、The presence of an audience affected children's decisions to give. D、Donating helped children to become more generous in the future.(2)、Which is pro-social behavior according to the researchers?A、Observing the givers. B、Donating more stickers. C、Gaining a reputation. D、Receiving more allocations.(3)、What does the underlined word "apprehend" in Paragraph 3 mean?A、Share. B、Predict. C、Confirm. D、Understand.(4)、What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A、To suggest recognizing others' kindness. B、To acknowledge the giver's contribution. C、To confirm the benefits of being grateful. D、To advise inspiring generosity in children.
