One day a man found a cocoon(茧) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It happened as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.
The man was in his kindness, but did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle(拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.
1. What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?
A. It was trying to make a cocoon for itself.
B. It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.
C. It was flying among the trees in the forest.
D. It was crawling around quietly on the ground.
2. The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon ______.
A. to take the butterfly home B. to help the butterfly come out easily
C. to kill the butterfly D. to stop the butterfly growing bigger
3. What do you think of the man?
A. Patient but cruel. B. Careful and wise.
C. Kind but unwise. D. Brave and funny.
4. What does the last paragraph(段落) tell us?
A. Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life.
B. Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it.
C. Every good deed will come back with good result.
D. The greatest happiness in the world is to help others.
5. What is the best title for the story?
A. The Love for the Cocoon B. The Joy of Helping Each Other
C. The lesson of the Cocoon D. The Expectation for the Butterfly

Ask any student which subject he or she hates most. 9 out of 10 students will answer “math”. No matter which country you visit, no matter which grade you are in, you may not learn art, geography, chemistry or Chinese, but you always learn math. Why is this so? How come so many students hate math, and ye cannot avoid learning it in school?
Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, “What good do we get from learning math? We can use computers to compute numbers, and we can use computers to store information. I think learning math at school is a waste of time.
However, there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract(减) numbers. In fact, math is not so much about calculation(计算) as it is about learning to think logically(逻辑地) and solving problems. Of course, Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations, but how would we even know how to use the computer if we can’t think logically? In short, computers are only tools when solving problems.
For example, imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests. How should you divide you resources so that you can get the job done most efficiently(高效地)? In situations like this, the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.
6. According to the passage, which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?
A. Chinese. B. Math. C. Geography. D. Art.
7. What does Jenny Sanders think of learning math?
A. Interesting. B. Boring. C. Useless. D. Difficult.
8. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. 90% of the students hate learning math.
B. Students can learn math well with computers.
C. Math can do calculations and store information.
D. Math helps students learn all the other subjects well.
9. What does the underlined word “resources” mean in the passage?
A. 科目 B. 效率 C. 信息 D. 资源
10. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Math is just learning to add and subtract numbers.
B. Math can be good for both our body and our mind.
C. Math helps us think logically and solve problems.
D. Math can help students find a good job in the future.

Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries. They found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget — if you are shy, you are not the only one.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Happiness. B. Shyness. C. Kindness. D. loneliness.
12. What does the underlined word “genetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Passed down from parents. B. Learned from friends.
C. Taught by teachers. D. Made up by brothers.
13. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet.
B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.
C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
14. We can learn from the passage that _______ may cause shyness.

句式精讲
1. Wearing red can also make it easier to take action.

The spaceship makes it possible to travel to the moon.
宇宙飞船使去月球旅行成为可能。

Don’t make the baby cry anymore. 不要再让婴儿哭了。
He was made to wait for over an hour. 他被迫等了一个多小时。
类似make这种用法的动词还有：have，let，notice，see，feel等。例如：
She was seen to go into the classroom. 有人看见她进了教室。
2. This may help when you are having difficulty making a decision.
（1）have difficulty（in）doing sth.(=have difficulty with sth.)意为“做某事有困难”；此处difficulty做不可数名词，意为“困难”。可用trouble替换；介词in可省略。例如：
We had difficulty in finding that house.
我们很难找到那个房子。
（2）否定句式为have no difficulty (in) doing sth.意为“毫不费力做某事”。例如：
I had no difficulty in understanding the text.
我理解那篇文章毫不费力。
3. Remember or think about sth.
remember作动词，意为“记得”。与forget意思相反。例如：
Remember his name. 记住他的名字。

4. Some people believe that colours can influence our moods.
此句是一个由that引导的宾语从句，宾语从句需要注意以下几点：
(1) 引导词：
1) 当宾语从句由陈述句转换过来时，由连词that引导，that通常省略。例如：
I think that you should come earlier. 我认为你应该早点来。
2) 当宾语从句由一般疑问句转换过来时，用if或whether来引导。例如：
I wonder if you are a new student. 我想知道你是否是新学生。
3) 当宾语从句由特殊疑问句转换过来时，由原来的疑问词引导。例如：
I don’t know when she will go to Beijing next time. 我不知道她下次什么时候去北京。
(2) 语序：在宾语从句中，均用陈述句的语序。
(3) 时态：
1) 当主句的时态是一般现在时时，从句用所需的任何一种时态。
2) 当主句的时态是一般过去时时，从句的时态用过去的某种时态。
5. Should I stay at home instead of going shopping with my classmates?
instead作副词，意为“代替，而不是”，常用作状语。例如：
He is tired. Let me go instead. 他累了，让我替他去吧。
She never studies. Instead, she plays tennis all day. 她从不学习，而是整天打网球。
【拓展】instead和instead of的辨析：
(1) instead是副词，后面不接其他的词，一般情况下可不译出，通常放在句首或句末，在句首时常用逗号隔开，表示前面的事没做，而做了后面的事。例如：
He didn’t go to school. Instead, he went to the cinema. 他没有去学校，相反他去了电影院。
(2) instead of是介词短语，意为“代替，而不是”，后面可以跟与前面并列成分相应的名词、代词、动词-ing形式等作为介词宾语。例如：
He went to the cinema instead of going to school. 他去了电影院而不是学校。
