Ⅳ.阅读理解(主题:历史、社会与文化·村落的发展)
When I was very young,people in our village lived by planting fruit trees.My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园) on the hill.At that time,they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill.Even though we worked so hard,the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day,two young men led a group of workers to our village.They learned about the difficulties we faced,and later,canals and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they ” I asked.“They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards,I moved to another city for my junior high school.The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day,my family and I made time to return.We were surprised because everything had changed.The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore.The river was so clean that fish swam happily in it.When we arrived home,my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples.She told us that after the water conservation project(水利工程) was completed, a policy(政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have the development of our countryside.
Nowadays,people work hard to live in a big city.However,we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.
( )1.What troubled the villagers most was that ______.
A.they had too much work B.it was not convenient to go up the hill

Find out the cause of your shyness.Do you become shy in front of new listeners Please try to find out the thoughts that go through your head before the shyness comes out.You’re okay being around your family,right Are they different from the strangers around you Of course not.You just know them better and what’s more,they know you as well.
Place your attention on others.For most of us,when we think we will feel nervous if we speak up or stand out,we become shy.That’s why you should notice others instead.When you stop paying attention to yourself,you stop worrying about your performance(表现).
Practice speaking loudly to yourself.You have got used to hearing your own voice.Record your voice pretending(假装) to have conversations with others.At the beginning you’ll feel like an actor,but soon it will become a habit.After doing it for some time,you will be able to voice your opinions bravely.
Stop comparing yourself with others.The more you compare yourself with others,the more you will feel shy because you may think you are not good enough.Try not to think about your own disadvantages.Everyone else must have his own confidence problems too.

Ⅳ.阅读问答(主题:做人与做事·如何改变自己)
My friend’s eight-year-old daughter,Mary,used to stay with her grandparents in the countryside.Recently her parents brought her to town to live with them.Wild and uneducated,Mary would use rude or dirty words when she was angry.Sometimes she rolled(打滚)on the ground,which shocked all people around.Mary’s parents tried to tame(驯服) her by beating and kicking,but it didn’t work.Finally they became completely disappointed(失望的) with her.
One day their next-door neighbor,a woman teacher,gave Mary a beautiful snow-white dress.It caught Mary’s eyes right away and made them shine brightly.
Mary put on the dress and became quite another person.She no longer abused (骂人) or hit others.She didn’t roll on the floor,either.She knew that running wildly was not suitable for a girl in such a beautiful dress.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(主题:历史、社会与文化·村落的发展)
When I was very young,people in our village lived by planting fruit trees.My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园) on the hill.At that time,they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill.Even though we worked so hard,the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day,two young men led a group of workers to our village.They learned about the difficulties we faced,and later,canals and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they ” I asked.“They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards,I moved to another city for my junior high school.The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day,my family and I made time to return.We were surprised because everything had changed.The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore.The river was so clean that fish swam happily in it.When we arrived home,my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples.She told us that after the water conservation project(水利工程) was completed, a policy(政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.
Nowadays,people work hard to live in a big city.However,we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.
(D)1.What troubled the villagers most was that ______.
A.they had too much work B.it was not convenient to go up the hill

Place your attention on others.For most of us,when we think we will feel nervous if we speak up or stand out,we become shy.That’s why you should notice others instead.When you stop paying attention to yourself,you stop worrying about your performance(表现).
Practice speaking loudly to yourself.You have got used to hearing your own voice.Record your voice pretending(假装) to have conversations with others.At the beginning you’ll feel like an actor,but soon it will become a habit.After doing it for some time,you will be able to voice your opinions bravely.
