One day, a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day’s work. The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”.
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him.”
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. After he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face.
He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from dying.
The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick ” The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.
25. The student wanted to play the poor man a trick to _______ .
A. find the truth B. show his wisdom C. teach him a lesson D. amuse himself
26. After finding the two coins, the man felt ________ .

No one on earth would love to visit a doctor. But no matter how much we hate to knock at the doctor’s door, something or other takes us right there. And the visits increase with age, as does the number of health problems. Now while it is true that doctors cannot be totally done away with, you can keep well just by a smile every now and then.
The reasons are not hard to guess. Everyone likes to share humor. But what you might not know just is that fun, joy and humor are instrumental in improving the mental and physical health of a human being. Research says that the chances of a heart attack are reduced for those who laugh more than their fellows. In the rapid pace of life, every little thing may lead to stress, anxiety or depression. The common cure to all these is nothing but a hearty laugh.
One good thing about laughter is that you can never possibly have enough of fun. If you love to laugh, you are all set to live a healthy stress-free life. And this may hold fine testimony(证明) to all stories of humor or humorous pieces of works, in books or on the Internet. Take for instance the funny stuff you get online to tickle（使发痒）your funny bone. Didn’t you get hooked on it for hours smiling from ear to ear
Nowadays, the Internet is a place of generating humor where people spend hours to do away with their boredom, or even when they are not bored. In order to see the doctor less people eagerly read jokes, watch funny videos or play fun games.
29. This passage is probably taken from a book dealing with .
A. politics and history B. leisure and entertainment
C. science and technology D. life and health
30. You would like to surf online probably because the material is_____.
A. funny B. convenient C. cheap D. useful
31. The passage is mainly to tell us _______.
A. no one loves to visit a doctor B. how to live a healthy stress-free life
C. laughing every day keeps the doctor away D. the Internet and health are close friends

Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bees to pull strings (线) to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony (群体) — showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments, often used to test the intelligence of apes (猿) and birds, showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task, and can also pass skills on through several generations.
The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for “culture spread”— the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills — may not be exclusive to humans.
In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.
The strings were attached to discs — or artificial “flowers” — containing food at their center but placed under a transparent (透明的) screen. The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the “flowers” out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.
From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.
Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally, trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony's worker bees.
Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees' learning and teaching skills.
32．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exclusive” in Paragraph 3
A．typical. B．limited. C．obvious D．widespread.
33．What did the researchers find about bees
A．Bees learn best in insects. B．Bees are as clever as birds.
C．Bees are born good learners. D．Bees can be trained to learn skills.
34．What may the research team focus on next
A．What else bees can do. B．Where bees learn skills.
C．How bees teach others. D．How bees' brains work.
35．What may be the best title for the text
A．Small Bees, Great Abilities B．Bees Can Learn and Teach
C．Bees Are Smarter D．Let Bees Learn

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don’t achieve anything significant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite. 36
Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don’t, they wouldn’t take action.
37 When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.
38 What’s the purpose behind your actions Do you work to thrive (蓬勃发展) or to survive Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but don’t quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. That’s a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 39 Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.
Now there are some people who don’t accept the “Life is hard” story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose.
They work to be thrive. 40 They have a beautiful vision（想象）and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.
A. So let me ask you a few questions.
B. This state does not allow you to be creative.
C. It lies in what inspires people to take action.
D. Such an attitude invites great opportunities to you.
E. And they don’t think about why something cannot be done.
F. And this makes you take even more or better quality action.
G. But successful people have a completely different purpose behind their actions.

My mom only had one eye. I hated her. She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.
There was one day during elementary school when my mom came over to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran away. The next day at school one of my classmates said, "Your mom only has one eye!"
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted(面对) her that day and said, "If you're only going to make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die "
My mom did not respond. I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I took no notice of her feelings at all.
I wanted to be out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied really hard, and got a chance to go abroad for further education.
Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I shouted at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"
And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have got the wrong address." And she was soon out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion(同学聚会) came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old house just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed (流出) a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
Paragraph 1 :
My dearest son,
I think of you all the time and I'm sorry that ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

小作文I’m sorry to hear that you have some problems in your life. I’d like to offer you some advice on how to solve the problems. About the study you have mentioned, I suggest that you spend more time and put your heart into it. After all, no pains, no gains. Work hard, and your efforts will pay off in time. As to how to get along well with your classmates, you should remember that kindness is very important. I believe that so long as you are kind to your classmates, you will be able to make friends with them. Lastly, although the Internet is very helpful in finding information, you should not be addicted to it. It is important to make good use of your time to study. I hope that you will find my advice useful and that everything will be OK. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
续写Paragraph 1: I think of you all the time and I'm sorry that I went to your house and scared your children. I had never thought my visit would bring so much unhappiness to you. However, I was really so happy when I heard you were coming for the reunion, I missed you day and night. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I'm terribly sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
Paragraph 2: You see, when you were very little, you got into a terrible accident, as a result of which you lost one of your precious eyes. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you have to grow up with just one eye. It was too much for you—a young soul to endure such a cruel fact and a possible future full of challenges. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world in my place with that eye.
With all my love to you.
Your mother
