My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement m nis grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year ” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
4. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Unwilling to communicate. B. Addicted to online games.
C. Unable to control his anger. D. Tired of staying at home.
5. Why was the caller silent on the call

C. Responsible and creative. D. Considerate and determined.
7. What is a suitable title for the text

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the former President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on talking about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to li e too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in- depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty- two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean—I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
8. How did the author find his friend a book liar
A. By discussing the book itself. B. By mentioning a famous name.
C. By looking into his background. D. By judging his manner of speaking.
9. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day. report
A. Dreams From My Father is hardly read. B. The author admitted having read 9 books.
C. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984. D. Charles Dickens is very low on the top- ten list.
10. Why do people lie about reading
A. To make more friends. B. To appear knowledgeable.
C. To avoid a tricky situation. D. To start an in- depth conversation.
11. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers
A. Uncaring. B. Favorable. C. Friendly. D. Doubtful.
D
Yawning (打哈欠) is something we all do — maybe because we’ re bored carrying out boring tasks or because we’ re tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can set you off. But is this biological function really contagious (传染的), and why do we do it in the first place
Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen, but in fact it appears that there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop. This might be why we’ re more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.
What is clear is that we yawn more when we’ re exhausted and ready for a nap, and we can’t control when we do it— once we start, there’s no stop ping us! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connect ion between yawning and our social group, specifically how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior, we are likely to copy it too.
Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t. They also found, when using electrical stimulation (刺激), that they were able to increase people’s desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful in treating other conditions like Tourette syndrome (综合症), which involve the same area of the brain.
What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we’ re not tired — but I hope, not when you’ re reading this article!
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To share background information. B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To present the main idea of the text. D. To encourage independent thinking.
13. According to paragraph 2, why do people yawn
A. To fight tiredness. B. To get more oxygen.
C. To stop the brain breaking down. D. To lower the brain’s temperature.
14. The University of Nottingham researchers found that ________.
A. yawning is not a contagious behavior. B. the urge to yawn can’t be controlled.
C. people can be influenced by others’ yawning. D. electrical stimulation helps hold back yawning.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The reasons for yawning. B. The influence of yawning.
C. The value of yawning research. D. The methods of yawning research.

But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement m nis grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year ” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the former President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on talking about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to li e too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in- depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty- two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean—I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
8. How did the author find his friend a book liar
A. By discussing the book itself. B. By mentioning a famous name.
C. By looking into his background. D. By judging his manner of speaking.
9. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day. report
A. Dreams From My Father is hardly read. B. The author admitted having read 9 books.
C. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984. D. Charles Dickens is very low on the top- ten list.
10. Why do people lie about reading
A. To make more friends. B. To appear knowledgeable.
C. To avoid a tricky situation. D. To start an in- depth conversation.
11. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers
A. Uncaring. B. Favorable. C. Friendly. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
D
Yawning (打哈欠) is something we all do — maybe because we’ re bored carrying out boring tasks or because we’ re tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can set you off. But is this biological function really contagious (传染的), and why do we do it in the first place
Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen, but in fact it appears that there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop. This might be why we’ re more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.
What is clear is that we yawn more when we’ re exhausted and ready for a nap, and we can’t control when we do it— once we start, there’s no stop ping us! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connect ion between yawning and our social group, specifically how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior, we are likely to copy it too.
Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t. They also found, when using electrical stimulation (刺激), that they were able to increase people’s desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful in treating other conditions like Tourette syndrome (综合症), which involve the same area of the brain.
What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we’ re not tired — but, I hope, not when you’ re reading this article!
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To share background information. B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To present the main idea of the text. D. To encourage independent thinking.
13. According to paragraph 2, why do people yawn
A. To fight tiredness. B. To get more oxygen.
C. To stop the brain breaking down. D. To lower the brain’s temperature.
14. The University of Nottingham researchers found that ________.
A. yawning is not a contagious behavior. B. the urge to yawn can’t be controlled.
C. people can be influenced by others’ yawning. D. electrical stimulation helps hold back yawning.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The reasons for yawning. B. The influence of yawning.
C. The value of yawning research. D. The methods of yawning research.

Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen, but in fact it appears that there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop. This might be why we’ re more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.
What is clear is that we yawn more when we’ re exhausted and ready for a nap, and we can’t control when we do it— once we start, there’s no stop ping us! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connect ion between yawning and our social group, specifically how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior, we are likely to copy it too.
Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t. They also found, when using electrical stimulation (刺激), that they were able to increase people’s desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful in treating other conditions like Tourette syndrome (综合症), which involve the same area of the brain.
What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we’ re not tired — but I hope, not when you’ re reading this article!

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement m nis grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year ” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
4. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Unwilling to communicate. B. Addicted to online games.
C. Unable to control his anger. D. Tired of staying at home.
5. Why was the caller silent on the call
A. He was too moved to say anything. B. He waited for the mother to continue.
C. He didn’t want to be recognized. D. He didn’t know how to comfort her.
6. What kind of young man is Karl
A. Brave but self- centered. B. Optimistic but careless.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Considerate and determined.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. A Mother’s Struggle B. A Wake-up Call

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the former President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on talking about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to li e too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in- depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty- two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean—I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
8. How did the author find his friend a book liar
A. By discussing the book itself. B. By mentioning a famous name.
C. By looking into his background. D. By judging his manner of speaking.
9. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day. report
A. Dreams From My Father is hardly read. B. The author admitted having read 9 books.
C. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984. D. Charles Dickens is very low on the top- ten list.
10. Why do people lie about reading
A. To make more friends. B. To appear knowledgeable.
C. To avoid a tricky situation. D. To start an in- depth conversation.
11. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers
A. Uncaring. B. Favorable. C. Friendly. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
D
