Do you feel tired or upset sometimes? Nowadays, stress is everywhere in our daily life. Not just men, women and young people also suffer from stress.

There are many causes, such as: death, divorce, marriage, money, moving house, changing jobs, ending relationships and so on.

If you have more tha n two “Yes” among these questions, you are suffering from stress. So what can you do about it?

Doing yoga (瑜伽), chewing gum and playing with worry beads (念珠) are all common ways of relieving (减轻) stress. However, doctors now say that there are simpler ways. They say that people should laugh and smile more often. When you laugh and smile, your body relaxes. They also say that people—and especially men—ought to cry more frequently, because crying is the natural way of relieving stress.

26. From the passage, we can know that .

A. many social problems can cause stress

B. young people suffer more from stress than the old

C. doing yoga is the most useful way to relieve stress

D. if all the answers are yes, you are suffering from stress

A. never depend on alcohol or cigarettes

B. can sleep without sleeping pills

C. often communicate with anyone else

Mumbai in Western India is the world’s third largest city with a population of about 25 million people. This huge population increases by about 215 families a day coming in from the countryside. Mumbai is a great city with some lovely hotels, shops and restaurants, a lot of businesses and factories and some pleasant suburbs (郊区), but it also has some areas where life is difficult.

Dharavi is a part of the city where poor people arriving in the city often go. There are crowds of people everywhere. Many people live on the street. There are no flats. The best you can get is a hut built out of boxes and pieces of wood. There are no toilets and there is rubbish everywhere as no one collects it. There are black birds, called crows, all around. They are not very nice, but they do eat a lot of the rubbish. Mumbai has a lot of rain and there are lakes in the mountains for water, but people have to walk every day to public taps to get water and carry it back home. The water is definitely not safe to drink. The people of Dharavi, however, work hard. There are shops and businesses everywhere and you can hear plenty of success stories.

The traffic in Mumbai is so bad that it can take you an hour to move a few blocks. Animals walk in the streets among the cars and vans. Everyone is late for appointments (约会). The city has a lot of trains. They carry hundreds of thousands of people every day. People sit on top of the trains and hold onto the sides.

If you visit, you must take care as there are a lot of crimes. The police cannot do much to stop the crimes or catch the law-breakers as there are not enough of them.

Another very serious problem is air pollution. Cars are responsible (负责) for a lot of it, but home cooking fires also add to it.

Farmers must be persuaded to stay in the countryside; otherwise Mumbai will go on growing and life will become more unpleasant and unsafe.

29. The passage tells us that .

A. Mumbai is the third largest city in India

B. there are about 2,500,000 people in Mumbai

C. the people of Dharavi are too poor to achieve success

D. some people in Dharavi live in wooden huts without toilets

B. Many crows.

C. Air pollution.

D. Bad traffic.

31. What does the word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指的是)?

B. Crimes.

C. Policemen.

D. Visitors.

Jacquelyn and her family were sleeping in their home. Their dog Scruffy was asleep next to Jacquelyn. It was 4:36 a.m. and the night was quiet. There were no cars passing in the street, no noise could be heard, it was like everything was still. Jacquelyn always put a cup with water next to her bed, so that if she got thirsty during the night she didn’t have to walk all the way to the kitchen. That was when it happened. The furniture started shaking, and the cup of water fell to the floor. Scruffy started barking and it woke up Jacquelyn. She looked around and saw that all her stuff was shaking. She started screaming. Soon after, her father came in and told her to come out quickly.

It was an earthquake. Jacquelyn was so scared, and couldn’t move. Her father went in and picked her up. He took her outside, where Jacquelyn’s mother and brother were at already. Jacquelyn and her brother were crying. They didn’t under stand what was happening.

Luckily, Jacquelyn’s mother had prepared an emergency kit (应急箱) and had it outside. She looked for the key, which was hidden inside a fake rock, and unlocked the box. She pulled out blankets to keep her children warm. Jacquelyn looked at her mother and took the blanket. She then saw her dad take a flashlight (手电筒) from the box. He used the flashlight to see if the house had any damage. The father knew the house was not safe, so they stayed up until someone could examine the house.

The children didn’t have school due to the earthquake, so they spent the day with th eir parents. Jacquelyn was so proud of her parents, because they knew what to do during this disaster.

What personal qualities are preferred in a teacher? Probably no two people would give the same answer to this question. As we know, t he teacher’s personality should be fav ourably lively and attractive. This is not to say that ugly-looking people cannot be considered here, because many such have great characteristics. But it does mean that those impatient, cold, unfriendly people with negative personalities can never be good teachers. But I think the following would aslo be generally agreed.

A teacher should be intelligent (聪明的) and well-organized. As a teacher, he or she should always know what is going to happen in class. Always be prepared to solve a problem, to answer a strange question and to suggest a good idea. At the same time, a teacher also needs to be honest. Every one makes mistakes, and a teacher shouldn’t be embarrassed by this but bravely admit (承认) his/her own faults.

A teacher should know how to appreciate students’ progress, when to avoid making students feel stupid, and praise students as much as possible. A teacher should know that being strict does n’t mean you don’t encourage children. Children would prefer to correct their mistakes when you encourage them rather than when you criticize them seriously. Positive words are always better for helping children.

In addition, a good teacher should know how to behave in an amusing way at the right time. Jokes are the best friends of a teaching method. A funny and relaxed class will help children to love learning. Don’t be afraid of being laughed at. Making friends with children is not an embarrassing thing. You will find in fact that children will respect you more than you imagine.

I think a teacher should also be a learner. Teaching is a job; it will never be perfect. There is always something more to learn about it. There are three important things in teaching: the subjects, the method of teaching and the most important—the children, young people or adults—the learners. A good relationship between two persons—the teacher and the learner—makes a good education.

36. According to the text, how many qualities are preferred in a teacher?

A. Three.

B. Four.

C. Five.

D. Six.

37. A good teacher should be .

A. cold and serious

B. strict and friendly

C. homourous and strange

D. good-looking and lively

38. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. A good teacher never makes mistakes at any time.

B. A teacher should always behave in an amusing way.

C. It isn’t embarrassing for teachers to make friends with students.

D. A teacher should criticize students instead of encouraging them.

39. The word “appreciate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “” in Chinese.

A. 欣赏

B. 羡慕

C. 感激

D. 确认

40. What is the best title of the passage?

A. A good teacher, a good learner

B. What makes a good education

C. Three important things in teaching

D. The personal qualities of a teacher

One of the most famous child stars in the history of films in the United

States was the great Shirley Temple. Temple starred in some of the greatest

movies ever made during the film industry’s infancy (初期). Born on April

23, 1928 in Santa Monica, California, Temple was encouraged by her

mother to develop her interest in singing, acting, and dancing. She enrolled

young Shirley into a dance school at the age of 3. She also began styling Shirley’s hair copying silent movie star Mary Pickford’s look.

Her first acting experience came while she was still in the dancing school at a very young age. She appeared in a series of short films where child actors were used to play adults. The shorts, as they were called, were satirical (讽刺的) in nature, and soon fell out of favour with the public. Temple gained valuable acting experience at a young age, though. A Fox Film songwriter was very taken by the young star, and he introduced her to studio executives. She was signed to do her first film in 1933 at the age of 5. The film Stand Up and Cheer was a big success, and Temple’s career was off.

Her career is one of the most remarkable in Hollywood history. She made lots of successful films as a child actress. She was very mature (成熟的), and talented for someone so young, but by 1942, her films began to flop. Her career was seemingly over by her teen years, and announced her retirement in 1950. This did not stop Temple though, as she began a second career as a public servant. She got involved with the Republican party, ran in a special election, in California, in 1967, but lost. She was then noticed by U.S. Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, who offered her a diplomatic (外交的) position, which she accepted. She served as ambassador (大使) to several countries during her political career under President Gerald Ford, and President George H.W. Bush. On February 10, 2014, Shirley Temple passed

B) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66~75的相应位置上。

Jose Luis was taking the train to work one day when he noticed a

woman with a big German Shepard getting on the train. This made him

nervous. What if that dog attacked someone? Jose Luis didn’t know that

people could b 66 pets with them onto trains. It seemed unsafe. He

stepped closer to the dog. The German Shepard seemed friendly enough. Just as he put out his hand to pet (抚摸) the dog, the woman stopped him.

“Please don’t pet him. He’s w67 ,” the lady told him. Jose Luis didn’t understand. The woman explained that she was b 68 and that the dog Hampton acted as her eyes, helping her navigate (引导) her way a 69 the city. The woman pointed out the special vest that Hampton was wearing. The vest was printed with the words “service animal”.

Jose Luis had never heard of service animals before. “Service animals like Hampton are a 70 into public places that most pets are not. Hampton is m 71 than a pet. He helps me do the things that I need to do in the city,” the woman explained. The woman also told Jose Luis that service animals had to go through special t 72 so that they learn how to behave in public places and do not get distracted. “People need to help too though, by not petting him,” the woman added.

The woman c 73 to explain that service animals do not just help the blind. Some animals act as therapy animals. Therapy animals go into h 74 and nursing homes.
