三.阅读理解
A
Jane Eyre tells the story of a good and independent woman, who does not rely on others and does not give up even in the face of many difficulties. Jane is poor and an orphan and is treated badly by her rich aunt and cousins. She is sent away to a school where the pupils are treated very badly. Jane remains strong, because she knows she is good. And when she have the chance to escape and live independently, she does. Jane takes a job as governess in the house of a rich man called Mr Rochester.
Jane falls in love with Mr Rochester who is twenty years older than her. Jane is sad when Rochester brings a beautiful woman Blanche to his house. Jane thinks Rochester will marry Blanche. So she decides to leave. Rochester asks her to stay but she will not. She tells him she loves him and says that she cannot bear to see him married to Blanche. She tells him that just because she is poor and not beautiful; it does not mean that she has no feelings. She speaks to Rochester as a ‘spiritual equal’ and not as his inferior.
Rochester asks Jane to marry him and she agrees, but on the day of the wedding she finds out that Rochester is already married. Jane decides to leave and even though Rochester says his wife is mad and begs Jane to stay, she cannot. She is a moral woman. Jane will not stay with a man who is already married. She has no family to protect and no money, but she is proud and she wants to do the right thing.
Jane is an idealistic young lady who does what is right even if it is a struggle. She is good, intelligent and independent- the equal of any man. Some argue that Jane is the perfect role model.
When Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was first published, it was called an autobiography and was talked about by critics as such. One of the critics in 1847 said that the story was, ‘so like the truth that it is difficult to avoid believing that many of the characters and incidents are taken from life.’
In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, like Charles Dickens, shows the double-standards in Victorian Britain. The poor and especially orphans were victimized and not given any protection by the law—they were seen as animals not humans. The rich lived a life of luxury and by giving a little money to charity they thought they had done their best.

A. Jane Eyre was criticized by many people B. what kind of woman Jane Eyre is
C. Jane Eyre hated to be born in a rich family D. the main idea of the book Jane Eyre
2. The ‘double-standards’ in Victorian Britain refers to .
A. the unequal rights between men and women
B. the different thoughts between adults and children

Why you should celebrate your mistakes
When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.
And that’s only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.
Think about how we learn: We don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real?world experimentation...and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey.
So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
7. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?
A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot. B. Because it’s a natural part in our life.
C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age. D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.
8. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?
A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
9. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to draw
C. a primary pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write
10. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. most of us can really grow from success
B. growing and improving are based on mistakes
C. we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D. we read about something and know how to do it right away

D
Knowing that Mrs. Mallard suffered from a heart trouble, great care was taken to tell her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.
It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences. Her husband’s friend Richards was there, too. He had been in the newspaper office when news of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed.” He had only taken the time to make sure of its truth by a second telegram, and hurried to send the sad message.
She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same. She wept at once, with wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms. When the storm of sadness had spent itself she went away to her room alone.
There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable armchair. Into this she sank, tired from a physical exhaustion that held her body and seemed to reach into her soul.
She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver (颤抖的,兴奋的) with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves(屋檐).
There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? It was too hard to name. But she felt it, coming out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the smells, the color that filled the air.
Now her chest rose and fell violently. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was trying very hard to beat it back with her will. When she gave up trying a little whispered word escaped her lips. She said it over and over under the breath: “free, free, free!”
She did not stop to ask if it was extreme joy that held her. She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, gentle hands folded in death; the face that had never looked at her except with love, gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment many years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.
There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will against hers.
And yet she had loved him—sometimes. What did it matter! What could love count for in the face of her new freedom.
“Free! Body and soul free!” she kept whispering.
Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole. “Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door—you will make yourself ill.”
“Go away. I am not making myself ill.”
Her fancy(幻想) was running wild along those days ahead of her, all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shake that life might be long.
She stood up after a long time and opened the door to her sister’s begging. She carried herself unknowingly like a goddess of Victory. She held her sister’s waist, and together they walked down the stairs.
Someone was opening the front door with a key. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained(风尘仆仆的), calmly carrying his suitcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine’s sharp cry; at Richards’ quick motion to stop him from the view of his wife.
When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease—of the joy that kills.
11. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 7 indicate?
A. Mrs. Mallard decided to fight back when her husband beat her.
B. Mrs. Mallard was trying hard to fight against her heart trouble.
C. Mrs. Mallard was struggling with the guilty feeling of happiness.
D. Mrs. Mallard was extremely sad because of her husband’s death.
12. What is “that bitter moment” in paragraph 8?
A. The time when she saw her husband’s dead body.
B. The time when she had lived with her husband.
C. The time when she had to live without her husband.
D. The time when she heard of her husband’s death.
13. What can we infer about Mr. Mallard?
A. He was killed in a railroad disaster. B. He survived the railroad accident.
C. He was unaware of what was going on. D. He hurried back to comfort his wife.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 14 “Her fancy …might be long”?
A. Mrs. Mallard was more afraid of her future life. B. Mrs. Mallard missed her husband very much.
C. Mrs. Mallard always thought life was hopeful. D. Mrs. Mallard used to think life was hopeless.
15. What really killed Mrs. Mallard?
A. The joy of seeing her husband coming back alive. B. The shock of losing her coming freedom.
C. The fear of seeing the ghost of her husband. D. The sadness of losing her husband suddenly.

Here are some simple steps on how to sleep well, from your bed to your diet, our aim is to help you sleep better at night.
Step1: Food and drink
Avoid coffee, tea, coca and cola drinks late in the evening as they all have caffeine. They may keep you awake. Don’t eat too much for your dinner, because your body will have to stay awake half the night digesting(消化) your meal, so you won’t feel rested in the morning. Milk, turkey and peanuts all have chemicals that help the brain relax. So have a turkey and peanut butter sandwich is a good choice.
Step2: Another thing that affects your sleep is the position you sleep in. we all have our preferences, but for a perfect night’s sleep you should try to keep your body in a proper position, where both your head and neck are kept straight. All you need is a comfortable bed and some well placed pillows.
Step:3 Your bedroom should be a place for sleeping only. It is not a good idea to use your bed for doing work, making phone calls etc. Help your body recognize that this is a place for rest by throwing away anything work related before you go to bed.Keep your bedroom dark while you are sleeping. As soon as it’s time to wake up , open the curtains or turn a light on. Lights helps your body know it’s time to wake up.
Step4: Have a bedtime routine ( 常规). Having a bath before bed will help your brain relaxed and prepare you for sleep. Reading a book or listening to the same piece of music every night may help too. Write down your worries and possible solutions before you go to bed, then stop thinking about them.
