Tomas Ybarra-Frausto grew up outside of San Antonio, on a farm that belonged to his grandfather. His family comes from Mexico so they speak Spanish. And they have tradition. “The umbilical cord (脐带) that was taken away when you were born would be put in a little box. You got to pick where you wanted that to be buried (埋藏) said Ybarra-Frausto. In Mexican culture this tradition means the planting of a child's roots to the land.
At the age of 4, Ybarra-Frausto decided that he wanted to bury it under a tree in the middle of his family’s farm.“The farm was pretty empty, but in the middle stood a beautiful tree. So I pointed to the tree,” said Ybarra-Frausto. His family told him, “This is the place where you’re born, so no matter where you end, this is where you began.”
It wasn’t until primary school that he started to understand what it meant to be Mexican American. On the first day of the first grade, his teacher told the class that because they were all American, they were going to learn English. “But my father says I'm an American, and that’s why I speak Spanish,” he remembered telling his teacher. But she punished him by putting him in a corner of the classroom. His father was proud that his son was learning English, but that didn’t take away from the other language he spoke. His father told him a person who speaks two languages is worth twice the person who speaks only one.
Ybarra-Frausto has lived in New York for nearly twenty years. And even though he was far away from his family in San Antonio, he continued to find solace in his family's tradition and his first language. “Whenever I miss my family members in San Antonio, I will think about the first language I speak and the umbilical cord under the tree because I know that’s where I’m from. I will feel much better.”
4. Why did Ybarra-Frausto bury his umbilical cord under a tree on his family’s farm
A. He wanted to be with his family. B. The tree was very beautiful.
C. He wanted to protect the farm. D. This was where he came from.
5. What did Ybarra-Frausto’s father think of his learning English
A. He supported him. B. He was against it.
C. He worried about him. D. He was surprised at it
6. What does the underlined word “solace” in the last paragraph mean
A. Chance. B. Change. C. Comfort. D. Challenge.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Language and culture. B. A Mexican’s hometown.
C Language and education. D. A Mexican’s roots.

If you happen to be hungry, what will you do Will you have some of your favorite foods Well, just like your stomach, your mind can also become hungry. But it never lets you know this because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So while it silently satisfies your needs, you may, without even knowing it, not let it grow. When the mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity will come to a full stop. This may be the reason why we all sometimes think, “What happens next ” or “Why can’t I think ”
Having hunger of the mind is something which can easily be solved by reading widely. Why is reading better than watching TV This is because reading has always been, going all the way back to our earliest days of childhood through to the person we are today, the greatest tool we have for developing our minds. Since it can also help to develop many other aspects of our lives, reading should be the first thing to help our minds grow. Once you start reading a book and your eyes begin running through its lines, your mind busily tries its best to explain the book’s meanings to you. The interesting parts of the book are stored in your mind like a seed (种子). Now this seed is used by you to develop your own new ideas. This seed, if it is planted many times, can help your ideas branch (发出新枝) out. This is what we call creativity. Also, reading widely can work to increase your vocabulary. In only a few weeks after you have started reading widely, you will be surprised to find that you are able to talk with your friends in English or any other language.
So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and then, more reading. What are you waiting for Go and get a book!
8. What will happen when our minds lose their freedom to grow
A. Our stomachs will be empty. B. Our needs won’t be satisfied.
C. We won’t have creative ideas. D. We won’t grow up very well.
9. According to the passage, how to solve the hunger of our minds
A. By reading different kinds of books.
B. By reading some books about planting seeds.
C. By communicating with our friends more often.
D. By watching TV instead of reading books.
10. Where does the passage probably come from
A. Social Culture. B. Travel Guide. C. Sports Time. D. Nature Watch.
四、信息还原。
In fact, you move every day. Every time you sit down, walk, ride a bike, or eat your food, you are moving. 1 What gets you moving, keeps you moving, and helps you to move the way you want to move
One force that helps you move is gravity (重力). Gravity pulls you toward Earth. Why Earth is bigger and heavier than you are, so you’re pulled by Earth’s gravity. How does that help you When you take a step, gravity pulls on your foot. 2 Then, you can move your other foot. Do you like to play baseball Gravity makes the baseball fall after it is hit. Then, as gravity pulls the ball toward the ground, and can catch the ball.
Friction (摩擦力) also helps you move. Friction happens when two objects rub against each other. How does friction help you move When you walk, friction keeps your feet from slipping. When you hold a pencil, friction helps keep it in your hand. 28
Inertia (惯性) also helps you. Inertia is a sort of rule: it tells us two things. Things that are in movement will remain in movement until something stops them; and things that are at rest will stay at rest unless something moves them. 3 And when you sit down to read, you will stay where you are until you are ready to move.
4 All of them help to get you where you want to go.
A．And this kind of force makes the brakes on your bike work. too.
B．If there were no gravity, you would fly into the air and off into space
C．You even move while you are sitting in a chair.
D．When you ride your bike, it will keep going until you stop it.
E．That’s because plants and many kinds of ocean life use light from the sun to make food.
F．That pulling helps you put your foot down.
G．Next time you move, think about gravity, friction and inertia.

七、综合填空。
Emma and Emily are twins. They look so similar that even their parents have difficulty 1 (tell) the differences between them just by appearance. But actually the girls are different in most ways. For example, Emma loves the colour indigo while Emily loves the colour violet. Emma doesn’t like to talk much while Emily often makes 2 (speak) in front of her class. Emma likes studying at night while Emily would rather 3 (do) it in the morning.
So the twins argue (争论) about lots of things. Yesterday they ordered a meal in a restaurant. Emma liked spicy food while Emily 4 (prefer) sweet food. Here is another real case. When Emma said 5 (wake) up early in the morning was terrible, Emily argued, “The air in the morning can always cheer me up. On the contrary (正相反), I think it’s difficult to stay up late when you feel so 6 (sleep) !” In the end, their parents made a 7 (decide) to put an end to their argument and taught them that they could both be correct. But the girls remained skeptical (怀疑的).
That day, their father asked Emma to stand on one side of a board and Emily on the other side. They couldn’t see each 8 (other) side. Their father asked, “What colour is the board, girls ” Emma said it was black, while Emily said it was white. They became 9 (patient) and started arguing again. The father asked them to change places. They were both quite surprised to find that the board on Emma’s side was painted black and on Emily’s side was painted white. They were both correct.
Many of us are just like Emma and Emily. We may insist (坚持) that we are right 10 (much) of the time, only to find out that others can be right as well.
八、阅读表达。
Scheduling (行程安排) attracts many people.
Scheduling means setting a detailed, fixed time for an activity. It is one of the most familiar and powerful methods of forming a habit and it’s one of my favorites. Scheduling makes us far more likely to turn an activity into a habit. I schedule even more small habit such as “Kiss my daughter every morning and every night.”
Habits grow strongest and farthest when they are repeated in the easiest ways. And for most of us, putting an activity on the schedule means locking us into doing it. So In college and law school, I never asked myself, “Should I go to class ” or “Do I need to do this reading tonight ” If class was scheduled, I went. If reading was on the schedule, I read it.
A friend with a daily schedule gets up at 4:30 am, takes a 40-minute walk, eats breakfast with her two sons, showers, dresses and is on the train to work at 7:30. For someone else, any of these activities might be a challenge, but not for her; she’s already decided what to do.
Scheduling can help us fill our timetable of the day, and it will turn the timetable into habits. Scheduling one activity makes that time unavailable (不能利用) for anything else. Which is good—especially for people who have trouble saying no. Every week, Elisa and I go on a “Wednesday afternoon adventure (探险)” (though we are not that kind of adventurous, and usually end up at the museum). Especially now that Elisa is in her special teenage years, I want to make sure we have some pleasant time together every week. So I put our adventure on the schedule and if I am asked to do anything else, I say automatically (自动的), “I have a plan at that time.” Scheduling makes activities automatic, which builds habits.
What is scheduling
How can scheduling help people form a habit
Introduce a habit you have kept recently and tell the good points. (No less than 15 words)

So In college and law school, I never asked myself, “Should I go to class ” or “Do I need to do this reading tonight ” If class was scheduled, I went. If reading was on the schedule, I read it.
A friend with a daily schedule gets up at 4:30 am, takes a 40-minute walk, eats breakfast with her two sons, showers, dresses and is on the train to work at 7:30. For someone else, any of these activities might be a challenge, but not for her; she’s already decided what to do.
Scheduling can help us fill our timetable of the day, and it will turn the timetable into habits. Scheduling one activity makes that time unavailable (不能利用) for anything else. Which is good—especially for people who have trouble saying no. Every week, Elisa and I go on a “Wednesday afternoon adventure (探险)” (though we are not that kind of adventurous, and usually end up at the museum). Especially now that Elisa is in her special teenage years, I want to make sure we have some pleasant time together every week. So I put our adventure on the schedule and if I am asked to do anything else, I say automatically (自动的), “I have a plan at that time.” Scheduling makes activities automatic, which builds habits.

Tomas Ybarra-Frausto grew up outside of San Antonio, on a farm that belonged to his grandfather. His family comes from Mexico so they speak Spanish. And they have tradition. “The umbilical cord (脐带) that was taken away when you were born would be put in a little box. You got to pick where you wanted that to be buried (埋藏) said Ybarra-Frausto. In Mexican culture this tradition means the planting of a child's roots to the land.
At the age of 4, Ybarra-Frausto decided that he wanted to bury it under a tree in the middle of his family’s farm.“The farm was pretty empty, but in the middle stood a beautiful tree. So I pointed to the tree,” said Ybarra-Frausto. His family told him, “This is the place where you’re born, so no matter where you end, this is where you began.”
It wasn’t until primary school that he started to understand what it meant to be Mexican American. On the first day of the first grade, his teacher told the class that because they were all American, they were going to learn English. “But my father says I'm an American, and that’s why I speak Spanish,” he remembered telling his teacher. But she punished him by putting him in a corner of the classroom. His father was proud that his son was learning English, but that didn’t take away from the other language he spoke. His father told him a person who speaks two languages is worth twice the person who speaks only one.
Ybarra-Frausto has lived in New York for nearly twenty years. And even though he was far away from his family in San Antonio, he continued to find solace in his family's tradition and his first language. “Whenever I miss my family members in San Antonio, I will think about the first language I speak and the umbilical cord under the tree because I know that’s where I’m from. I will feel much better.”
4. Why did Ybarra-Frausto bury his umbilical cord under a tree on his family’s farm
A. He wanted to be with his family. B. The tree was very beautiful.
C. He wanted to protect the farm. D. This was where he came from.
5. What did Ybarra-Frausto’s father think of his learning English
A. He supported him. B. He was against it.
C. He worried about him. D. He was surprised at it
6. What does the underlined word “solace” in the last paragraph mean
A. Chance. B. Change. C. Comfort. D. Challenge.

A. Language and culture. B. A Mexican’s hometown.

If you happen to be hungry, what will you do Will you have some of your favorite foods Well, just like your stomach, your mind can also become hungry. But it never lets you know this because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So while it silently satisfies your needs, you may, without even knowing it, not let it grow. When the mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity will come to a full stop. This may be the reason why we all sometimes think, “What happens next ” or “Why can’t I think ”
Having hunger of the mind is something which can easily be solved by reading widely. Why is reading better than watching TV This is because reading has always been, going all the way back to our earliest days of childhood through to the person we are today, the greatest tool we have for developing our minds. Since it can also help to develop many other aspects of our lives, reading should be the first thing to help our minds grow. Once you start reading a book and your eyes begin running through its lines, your mind busily tries its best to explain the book’s meanings to you. The interesting parts of the book are stored in your mind like a seed (种子). Now this seed is used by you to develop your own new ideas. This seed, if it is planted many times, can help your ideas branch (发出新枝) out. This is what we call creativity. Also, reading widely can work to increase your vocabulary. In only a few weeks after you have started reading widely, you will be surprised to find that you are able to talk with your friends in English or any other language.
So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and then, more reading. What are you waiting for Go and get a book!
8. What will happen when our minds lose their freedom to grow
A. Our stomachs will be empty. B. Our needs won’t be satisfied.
C. We won’t have creative ideas. D. We won’t grow up very well.
9. According to the passage, how to solve the hunger of our minds
A. By reading different kinds of books.
B. By reading some books about planting seeds.
C. By communicating with our friends more often.
D. By watching TV instead of reading books.
10. Where does the passage probably come from
A. Social Culture. B. Travel Guide. C. Sports Time. D. Nature Watch.

In fact, you move every day. Every time you sit down, walk, ride a bike, or eat your food, you are moving. 1 What gets you moving, keeps you moving, and helps you to move the way you want to move
One force that helps you move is gravity (重力). Gravity pulls you toward Earth. Why Earth is bigger and heavier than you are, so you’re pulled by Earth’s gravity. How does that help you When you take a step, gravity pulls on your foot. 2 Then, you can move your other foot. Do you like to play baseball Gravity makes the baseball fall after it is hit. Then, as gravity pulls the ball toward the ground, and can catch the ball.
Friction (摩擦力) also helps you move. Friction happens when two objects rub against each other. How does friction help you move When you walk, friction keeps your feet from slipping. When you hold a pencil, friction helps keep it in your hand. 28
Inertia (惯性) also helps you. Inertia is a sort of rule: it tells us two things. Things that are in movement will remain in movement until something stops them; and things that are at rest will stay at rest unless something moves them. 3 And when you sit down to read, you will stay where you are until you are ready to move.
4 All of them help to get you where you want to go.
A．And this kind of force makes the brakes on your bike work. too.
B．If there were no gravity, you would fly into the air and off into space
C．You even move while you are sitting in a chair.
D．When you ride your bike, it will keep going until you stop it.
E．That’s because plants and many kinds of ocean life use light from the sun to make food.
F．That pulling helps you put your foot down.
G．Next time you move, think about gravity, friction and inertia.

Emma and Emily are twins. They look so similar that even their parents have difficulty 1 (tell) the differences between them just by appearance. But actually the girls are different in most ways. For example, Emma loves the colour indigo while Emily loves the colour violet. Emma doesn’t like to talk much while Emily often makes 2 (speak) in front of her class. Emma likes studying at night while Emily would rather 3 (do) it in the morning.
So the twins argue (争论) about lots of things. Yesterday they ordered a meal in a restaurant. Emma liked spicy food while Emily 4 (prefer) sweet food. Here is another real case. When Emma said 5 (wake) up early in the morning was terrible, Emily argued, “The air in the morning can always cheer me up. On the contrary (正相反), I think it’s difficult to stay up late when you feel so 6 (sleep) !” In the end, their parents made a 7 (decide) to put an end to their argument and taught them that they could both be correct. But the girls remained skeptical (怀疑的).
That day, their father asked Emma to stand on one side of a board and Emily on the other side. They couldn’t see each 8 (other) side. Their father asked, “What colour is the board, girls ” Emma said it was black, while Emily said it was white. They became 9 (patient) and started arguing again. The father asked them to change places. They were both quite surprised to find that the board on Emma’s side was painted black and on Emily’s side was painted white. They were both correct.
Many of us are just like Emma and Emily. We may insist (坚持) that we are right 10 (much) of the time, only to find out that others can be right as well.

Their father asked, “What colour is the board, girls ” Emma said it was black, while Emily said it was white. They became 9 (patient) and started arguing again. The father asked them to change places. They were both quite surprised to find that the board on Emma’s side was painted black and on Emily’s side was painted white. They were both correct.
Many of us are just like Emma and Emily. We may insist (坚持) that we are right 10 (much) of the time, only to find out that others can be right as well.

Scheduling (行程安排) attracts many people.
Scheduling means setting a detailed, fixed time for an activity. It is one of the most familiar and powerful methods of forming a habit and it’s one of my favorites. Scheduling makes us far more likely to turn an activity into a habit. I schedule even more small habit such as “Kiss my daughter every morning and every night.”
Habits grow strongest and farthest when they are repeated in the easiest ways. And for most of us, putting an activity on the schedule means locking us into doing it. So In college and law school, I never asked myself, “Should I go to class ” or “Do I need to do this reading tonight ” If class was scheduled, I went. If reading was on the schedule, I read it.
A friend with a daily schedule gets up at 4:30 am, takes a 40-minute walk, eats breakfast with her two sons, showers, dresses and is on the train to work at 7:30. For someone else, any of these activities might be a challenge, but not for her; she’s already decided what to do.
Scheduling can help us fill our timetable of the day, and it will turn the timetable into habits. Scheduling one activity makes that time unavailable (不能利用) for anything else. Which is good—especially for people who have trouble saying no. Every week, Elisa and I go on a “Wednesday afternoon adventure (探险)” (though we are not that kind of adventurous, and usually end up at the museum). Especially now that Elisa is in her special teenage years, I want to make sure we have some pleasant time together every week. So I put our adventure on the schedule and if I am asked to do anything else, I say automatically (自动的), “I have a plan at that time.” Scheduling makes activities automatic, which builds habits.
