When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that really frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances (熟人). It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr Bamick, who helped me get past that. That year we had to make four oral (口头的) book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was scared to death. Mr Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball.
When it came time for me to present it to the class, Mr Bamick cut_me_some_slack and let me read the report rather than give it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me, but Mr Bamick defended (为……辩解) me. By the end of the year I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn't easy or comfortable for me, but I did it.
Years later I realized that Mr Bamick did me a great favor in sixth grade. One of the chances I got when I won a tennis tournament (锦标赛) was to make comments to the fans who attended the match. Some of those were carried live on television and all of them were before thousands of people. It was still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr Bamick's help, I got through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favorite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. I was excited when Mr Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there.
Mr Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. It was he who helped me build the person I became.

Many people turn to doctors or self-help books, but they forget a great thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the danger for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties (关系) could improve brain health as we age.
“In_general,_the_role_of_friendship_in_our_lives_isn't_well_realized，” said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. “Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.”
While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart disease. Only smoking was as important a danger factor (因素) as having little social support.
The exact reason why friendship has such a big effect isn't clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to，” said Karen, a doctor. “The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。本文作者向我们介绍了一个有利于身心健康的，很重要的但又长期被人们忽视的因素——友谊。

A．social ties have something to do with health

A．Friendship is more important to women than to men.
B．What people need most is a friend's care.
C．The value of friendship hasn't been fully understood.
D．Friendship is more important than family relationships.
解析：选C 句意理解题。根据第二段中的“Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health.”和第三段内容可知，总的来说，友谊在我们生活中的作用还没有得到很好的认识。换句话说，其实就是说友谊没有被理解或者是重视。即Rebecca说的话意味着人们尚未完全了解友谊的价值。故选C。
10．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Smoking and lack of friends are also risk factors for health.
B．Friendship and family relationships have equal effects on health.
C．Close friendships are good for women but not for men.
D．It is clear why friendship has such a huge impact on health.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Only smoking was as important a danger factor (因素) as having little social support.”可知，吸烟和缺乏朋友也是健康的危险因素。故选A。
11．What is the passage mainly about
A．How to keep healthy.
B．The importance of doctors or self-help books.
C．The relationship between friendship and health.
D．How to improve family relationships.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。根据第一段可知，朋友能帮助战胜疾病。文章通过几个研究结果说明友谊在促进人类身心健康方面作用巨大。总的说来，朋友让你的生活更好。因此C项(友谊与健康之间的关系。)能够概括文章大意。故选C。

Elvis Cortés Hernández grabs his lunch and sits down with his friends. We're at the General Lázaro Cárdenas school in Ajalpan, deep in the heart of Mexico's Puebla province. And the ten-year-old is chatting about the school's vegetable garden, one element (因素) of its progressive food policy. “I like to eat in the school dining room，” he says.
The pupils' involvement (参与) in the initiative(倡议) goes much further than just sitting down to eat lunch together each day: all 96 students, with occasional help from their parents, also have a hand in growing the food themselves in the school's very own garden. Raised plant beds were put in place after a study by local NGO, SURCOS, discovered high levels of malnutrition(营养不良) in the Náhuatl community in the town of Ajalpan. Eighty-seven percent of youth were found to be suffering from health issues caused by poor diet, itself a product of the economic hardships suffered by the families of the school kids.
The garden, which is currently producing 13 different types of vegetables and is also home to a hen house, has been responsible for more than just an improvement in the students health. Since the school decided to take an active role in what its children ate, their grades have also gone up. “We are discovering that students' poor marks are definitely caused by unhealthy eating，” says the School's Director, José Cirilo Cruz Peralta. “It was a good moment to try and link these two things and make something positive out of it.”
Two members of the school staff, Juan Arturo Córdoba and Matilde Cruz, explain that they also use the garden to aid lessons in multiplication and division as the pupils use rulers to measure out perimeters (周长) and areas for the seed beds. Basic biology lessons are supplied by the hens, who also provide between 15 and 18 eggs each day for the dining room.
The school gives breakfast and lunch to its students every weekday, and the children's enthusiasm (热情) within their educational place has spread to their home life. Some parents are following the school's example and creating their own garden plots at home.

A．The weak points of growing gardens.

A．Parents should set a good example to their children.
B．The school will give dinner to its students in the future.
C．Creating home vegetable gardens may become popular.

A friend of yours just got a new haircut. Deep down, you think it's terrible. However, you say it looks fantastic. __16__
People tell white lies all the time. They don't do it to gain anything like money. They do it because they're considerate (体谅的) of others. They don't want to hurt those people's feelings.
__17__ You may tell a lady in her forties that she is just like thirty. You may encourage a young man by saying that he will be successful and famous in the future even though you do not believe it. This kind of lie can bring some benefits to people and some of the benefits can be beyond your imagination.
People also tell white lies to help themselves. __18__ In that way, they are kind. Though, in another way, they can be cruel. White lies are not really little or kind in the end. Over time, people around white liars get to know their habit. That causes the people to lose trust in what the liars say.
Telling white lies all the time also affects the liars. __19__ They say things are good when they are not. Then, they can't handle it when the truth finally hits them.
__20__ Some people may say it is okay to tell white lies only if we mean no harm. Some people may say no because they think that white lies are still lies and that the truth is always the better, while other people think that in human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths. White lies may be good at times. People will have to pay the price with their emotions, though.
A．Should we tell white lies
B．You just told a little white lie.
C．Why do people tell white lies
D．White lies may help keep the peace.

When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that really frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances (熟人). It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr Bamick, who helped me get past that. That year we had to make four oral (口头的) book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was scared to death. Mr Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball.
When it came time for me to present it to the class, Mr Bamick cut_me_some_slack and let me read the report rather than give it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me, but Mr Bamick defended (为……辩解) me. By the end of the year I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn't easy or comfortable for me, but I did it.
Years later I realized that Mr Bamick did me a great favor in sixth grade. One of the chances I got when I won a tennis tournament (锦标赛) was to make comments to the fans who attended the match. Some of those were carried live on television and all of them were before thousands of people. It was still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr Bamick's help, I got through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favorite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. I was excited when Mr Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there.
Mr Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. It was he who helped me build the person I became.

Many people turn to doctors or self-help books, but they forget a great thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the danger for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties (关系) could improve brain health as we age.
“In_general,_the_role_of_friendship_in_our_lives_isn't_well_realized，” said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. “Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.”
While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart disease. Only smoking was as important a danger factor (因素) as having little social support.
The exact reason why friendship has such a big effect isn't clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to，” said Karen, a doctor. “The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
8．The three studies in Paragraph 2 show that ________.
A．social ties have something to do with health
B．friends can help us lose weight
C．old people need friends the most
D．having more friends makes us healthier
9．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Friendship is more important to women than to men.
B．What people need most is a friend's care.
C．The value of friendship hasn't been fully understood.
D．Friendship is more important than family relationships.
10．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Smoking and lack of friends are also risk factors for health.
B．Friendship and family relationships have equal effects on health.
C．Close friendships are good for women but not for men.
D．It is clear why friendship has such a huge impact on health.
11．What is the passage mainly about
A．How to keep healthy.
B．The importance of doctors or self-help books.
C．The relationship between friendship and health.
D．How to improve family relationships.

Elvis Cortés Hernández grabs his lunch and sits down with his friends. We're at the General Lázaro Cárdenas school in Ajalpan, deep in the heart of Mexico's Puebla province. And the ten-year-old is chatting about the school's vegetable garden, one element (因素) of its progressive food policy. “I like to eat in the school dining room，” he says.
The pupils' involvement (参与) in the initiative(倡议) goes much further than just sitting down to eat lunch together each day: all 96 students, with occasional help from their parents, also have a hand in growing the food themselves in the school's very own garden. Raised plant beds were put in place after a study by local NGO, SURCOS, discovered high levels of malnutrition(营养不良) in the Náhuatl community in the town of Ajalpan. Eighty-seven percent of youth were found to be suffering from health issues caused by poor diet, itself a product of the economic hardships suffered by the families of the school kids.
The garden, which is currently producing 13 different types of vegetables and is also home to a hen house, has been responsible for more than just an improvement in the students health. Since the school decided to take an active role in what its children ate, their grades have also gone up. “We are discovering that students' poor marks are definitely caused by unhealthy eating，” says the School's Director, José Cirilo Cruz Peralta. “It was a good moment to try and link these two things and make something positive out of it.”
Two members of the school staff, Juan Arturo Córdoba and Matilde Cruz, explain that they also use the garden to aid lessons in multiplication and division as the pupils use rulers to measure out perimeters (周长) and areas for the seed beds. Basic biology lessons are supplied by the hens, who also provide between 15 and 18 eggs each day for the dining room.
The school gives breakfast and lunch to its students every weekday, and the children's enthusiasm (热情) within their educational place has spread to their home life. Some parents are following the school's example and creating their own garden plots at home.
12．Why were raised plant beds put in school
A．To improve students' health.
B．To support basic biology lessons.
C．To develop students' planting skills.
D．To beautify the campus environment.
13．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．The weak points of growing gardens.
B．The process of growing gardens.
C．The skills needed to grow gardens.
D．The significance of growing gardens.
14．What's students' attitude to growing gardens in school
A．Dissatisfied. B．Indifferent.
C．Favorable. D．Doubtful.
15．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Parents should set a good example to their children.
B．The school will give dinner to its students in the future.
C．Creating home vegetable gardens may become popular.
D．The children's enthusiasm is hugely inspired by their parents.
