A
Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones.They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world.Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online;others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues,or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world,just like the real world,can introduce problems,such as cheating or arguments.Going online is great fun,but there are also a few people who use the Internet to do bad things.Children must know that there are both the good things and the dangers on the Internet.
To keep children safe,your management must cover the family computer.Just as you decide which TV programmes are suitable,you need to do the same for the websites and chatrooms your children visit.Remind your children that online friends are still strangers and there are dangers too.
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now,so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do.We get left behind when it comes to the interactive areas of websites,like chatrooms and message boards,which are especially strange.The language of chat is strange to many parents,too.Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as:atb—all the best,bbfn—bye bye for now,cul8er—see you later,gr8—great,Idk—I don’t know,imbl—it must be love,kit—keep in touch,paw—parents are watching,lol—laugh out loud,xlnt—excellent!
It seems like another language,and it is!

When I was about 12,I had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.Week by week her list grew:I was very thin.I wasn’t a good student.I talked too much.I was too proud,and so on.I tried to hear all this 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 says true or not Janet,didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like Well,you now have that girl’s opinion.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.To my great surprise,I discovered that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin),but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change.For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself.But you have to learn to listen,not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt.When something said about you is true,you’ll find it will be of help to you.Our world is full of people who think they know your duty.Don’t shut your ears.Listen to them all,but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments.In my life,I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

About five years ago I started at a new school when my family moved to Iowa.I was just a little excited,but I worried I would never fit in with the other sixth graders.
Lucy,a girl in my class,who I thought was not ready for change,didn’t like me from the start.In fact,I was pretty sure she hated me.I would ask her a question,and I could tell she thought I was a total fool.
My teacher made us sit by each other for the last term.Lucy was horrified (惊骇的).I didn’t wear make-up (化妆品),and I didn’t wear those terrible bell-bottom pants.I didn’t exactly look like the coolest girl.But,I kept smiling at her,though she rolled her eyes,and I kept telling her she looked beautiful,even when she was angry.
Finally,Lucy let me talk to her,even in sight of her “cool” friends.She started telling me how beautiful I looked.I still remember that the first time when she smiled at me saying that,and I smiled right back,telling her thanks.Lucy invited me over to her house for a party,and talked to me all the time instead of her other friends.Lucy,the girl who hated me,called me her best friend.After that,we still were good friends a whole year later.
I may have moved to Arizona after that,but I will never forget Lucy.It’s funny—I still remember her birthday.She was a great friend.And to think,she considered me her enemy at first.Though it was hard,and it felt like I was wasting my time,and losing my dignity (尊严),I still smiled at Lucy when she made fun of me.I’m not stupid.I didn’t think she was right in doing those things,but I still put up with it.And we became great friends.
About two weeks ago,I read a sentence by Abraham Lincoln:“Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends with them ” Immediately,I smiled,thinking of Lucy.That sentence just reminded me how great it was for me to change Lucy into my friend in that state of Iowa five years ago.

B.it was a waste of time making friends with Lucy
C.it was a shameful thing to put up with what Lucy did
D.it was foolish of her to smile at Lucy all the time

It was summer when I was asked whether I wanted to go to Malibu(an island in Canada)with my church to serve the military families.At first,I heard this and thought,“You are asking an eleven-year-old in his last weeks of summer if he wants to go on a trip with his mom to Canada to serve other people ” Of course,I responded with a kind refusal,but my mom found a way to convince me to go.
When we were on the ferry to the island,a thousand thoughts were running through my head,such as “What am I going to do here ”“Am I even going to be useful ” and “Why am I even here ” When we got to the island,I was asked to do the childcare.I was actually somewhat excited because my friend said he would help me.The first time I met the kids,I got to know them pretty well.They were all between the ages of four and six.Some of them stayed behaved and a few of them started acting crazy and would even hit and push the other kids.
With those kids,I was very strict,but I still tried to be positive and keep a smile.After all,they were just innocent kids.In most of the time,I needed to help them with things like washing clothes,and setting tables.Even though it sounded dull,I enjoyed every second of it.One of the things I did in my free time was to play pool(打台球).I made friends with a few kids there.They were really easy to talk to.Some of the things we talked about were sports,food,video games,and most of all pool.
Even though I was only at Malibu,Canada for one week,I feel like I made spiritual changes in some people’s life.You don’t have to go above and beyond to have an influence on someone’s life.In the end,it all comes down to what way you changed them.It could have been in a spiritual way or a mental way as long as you had a positive effect.So go out and try to make a difference in this world.
12.As a volunteer,the author’s main task on the island was .
A.to take care of kids there
B.to educate kids there
C.to make friends with kids there
D.to share his experiences with kids there
13.What can we know about the author’s stay in Malibu
A.He found the kids very hard to deal with.
B.He didn’t quite like the badly-behaved kids.
C.He managed to get along well with most kids.
D.He shared common hobbies with some kids.
14.What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph
A.He regretted having taken the trip.
B.His spiritual changes in Malibu.
C.What he has learnt from the experience.
D.What to do to make a greater difference.
15.How did the author react when asked if he liked to serve the military families

B.He was very confused about the decision.
C.He refused to accept it.
D.He was worried about the trip.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays,more and more parents are using a new technology,home security systems,to keep an eye on their “home-alone” children.In the early days of home security,the systems were basically designed just to keep the bad guys out. 1 But be sure,when no adult is present,he or she knows how to do so safely.
Every child should memorise his or her own full name and address,and home,work and cellphone numbers of each parent. 2 If your child is too young to memorise the information,he or she may be too young to be home alone—for any time.
3 If a door or a window is slightly open,the child has any reason to suspect someone has been in the house that shouldn’t be.Have him or her call you,and then wait at the nearby home of a neighbour who’s agreed to act as a safe house.
4 Besides,set a rule that he or she must never play outside the house when no one else is at home.
Be sure your child knows how to disarm (解除) and arm your home security system.Programme your control panel (控制板) to give you a message when your child enters or leaves the house,and arms or disarms the system. 5
If you want to learn more about home security systems that can help parents protect their “home-alone” children,you can visit our website.
A.Warn your “home-alone” child never to answer the doorbell or telephone.
B.You and your child should work together to use the home security systems.
C.At present,the systems are only intended for “home-alone” children.
D.Teach your child to observe things when returning to the house.
E.Also keep the information posted next to the phone at home.
F.Now,many parents are also using them to make their “home-alone” children safe.
G.If your child forgets to rearm the system,you can call him or her with a personal reminder.

第二节 概要写作(25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Good friendships seem to be especially helpful for the heart.A three-year Swedish study of more than 13,600 men and women found that having few or no close friends increased the risk of having a heart attack by about 50 percent.A two-year study of more than 500 women with suspected coronary artery(冠状动脉) disease showed similar results.Women who reported the lowest levels of social support were twice as likely to die during the study.The women who enjoyed close support were not only more likely to be alive after two years,they also had lower rates of high blood pressure and were less likely to have excessive fat.
As reported in the Journal of the National Medical Association,friendships and other types of social support can help relieve stress,a well-known contributor to heart disease.Among other things,stress can encourage inflammation (炎症) in arteries.The research is still not very mature,but some studies have found that people who enjoy close support from friends and family generally have fewer inflammatory chemicals in their blood.The link between social ties and inflammation seems to be especially marked in older people.
When stress does appear,friends can encourage healthy reactions.People who lack strong social support tend to have dramatic and potentially dangerous reactions to scary situations.Their hearts pound and their blood pressure soars.But friends can help keep the heart on a more even keel.A study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine found that young men and women discussing rough patches in their lives had a lower pulse and blood pressure when they had a supportive friend at their side.
Finally,friendships may help encourage a heart-healthy lifestyle.As reported in Current Opinion in Psychiatry,people are more likely to eat fruit and vegetables,exercise regularly and quit smoking if they have a network of friends and family.
