When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.
I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!
34. What did the writer’s father do after he heard her complaints(抱怨)?
A. He agreed with her “enemy”.
B. he let her continue to put up with her “enemy”.
C. He told her to write down all her “enemy” had said about her.
D. He told her not to pay attention to what her “enemy” had said.
35. The writer felt ____ when she did the things as her father had told her.
A. surprised B. angry C. disappointed D. sad
36. Which of the following can we know from the passage?
A. The “enemy” thought the writer was pretty.
B. The “enemy” thought the writer studied hard.
C. The writer and her “enemy” became best friends at last.
D. The writer is grateful to her father.
37. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. My Parents B. A Serious Criticism(批评)
C. What People Say About You Is Always Right
D. The Best Advice I Ever Had
C
A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes
something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this
thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your
habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.
38. From the first paragraph we know that __________.
A. a habit is a terrible thing that we can never change
B. people take countless hours and dollars to get rid of habits
C. none of the people who try to break bad habits are successful
D. though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits
39. The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that ____.
A. it is not easy to get rid of bad habits B. there is a long way and a short way
C. something dangerous may happen D. we must cut it in a short time.
40. Which does NOT happen because of a bad habit according to the reading?
A. You are punished later. B. Making people around you feel unhappy.
C. You feel a little better after shouting at others.
D. You leave your homework at home by accident.
41. The main purpose of this passage is to __________.
A. introduce and describe B. complain and disagree
C. explain and advise D. discuss and argue
D
The keys to reaching or staying at a healthy weight are regular exercise and good eating habits. Teens should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day. Note the word “activity”. As long as you’re getting your body moving, it doesn’t have to mean doing difficult exercise or going to the sports hall every day. All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including aerobics (有氧运动), strength building, and flexibility (柔韧) exercise. Make exercise a habit by arranging some time every day.
On days when you have soccer practice or an aerobics class, you may have no trouble exercising for an hour or more. But most of us are busy, and 60 minutes a day for exercise seems like a lot of time. The good news is that it’s OK to divide it into shorter exercise breaks throughout the day.
Just as you might have a healthy snack to stop yourself from getting hungry, exercise snacks can keep energy levels high. So get up 15 minutes early and do some stretching (伸展) activity. Walk fast or run slowly for 15 minutes after lunch. Do the same thing after school — or walk or bike home. Add to that taking the stairs, PE class, and walking between classes during the day, and you’ve probably reached your 60 minutes.
Here are five simple ways to make an exercise lifestyle change:
42. The writer thinks many people probably misunderstand the word“activity” to be “_______”.
A. physical activity?? B. body movement
C.sports hall exercise?? D.outdoor exercise43. When exercising, the most important fact is ________.
A. the time spent on exercise????? B. the intensity of activity
C. the difficulty of exercise????? D. the right balance of activity
44. The author advises dividing activity into shorter exercise breaks because ___.
? A. exercising for a long time is bad for people’s health
B. it has the same effect as soccer practice
? C. people usually haven’t much time to exercise
D. no one can spare lots of time to exercise
45. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Regular exercise.? B. School exercise.
C. Indoor exercise.? D. Difficult exercise

How to protect children from unsafe material online has long been discussed in the USA. For some parents, the Internet seems like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain (包括) wonders as well as dangers.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great at finding lots of interesting websites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a ‘content screener (过滤器)’. But this can’t be wholly reliable (可靠的), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.

I waited for a letter from the boy for almost a month, but he never wrote. I wrote to the teacher again. She told me that the boy has moved to another town with his parents and she would try to find another penfriend for me. She told me that she had shown my letter to her students.
