高一英语寒假作业I.阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项.AGalaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute (聋哑) school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied to his mail sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100% better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a hum an. He should have a perfect and wonderful love.”Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, “I’m going to tell your parents I’ll be looking after you well wi th all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, “This is Kazrim.” Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.1.How did Galaxy and Kazrim get to know each other?A.They met each other by chance.B.They were introduced to each other.C.They once studied at the same university.D.They both served in a special needs school.2.How did Galaxy probably communicate with Kazrim before she took him home?A. Writing words on paper.B. Using the sign language.C. Judging from his expression.D. Speaking her native language.3.What did Galaxy expect her parents to do?A. To have a talk with Kazrim.B. To prepare for her marriage.C. To treat Kazrim as a normal man.D. To accept Kazrim as her boyfriend.4.What can we learn about the two young people from the passage?A.They fell in love at the first sight.B.They cheated each other to win love.C.They mistook each other for being mutes.D.They ignored the anger of Galaxy’s parents.BAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. I f on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.5.Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Para. 1?A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.6.It is suggested in this passage that .A.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceB.close relations usually have similar intelligenceC.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be inintelligenceD.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees ofintelligence7.In Para. 1, the word “surroundings” means .A. intelligenceB. lifeC. environmentsD. housing8.The best title for this article would be .A. On IntelligenceB. What Intelligence MeansC. We are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing IntelligenceII.完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D )中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

高一英语假期检测题十第二部份：阅读明白得（共 2 节，总分值40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，总分值30分）ABefore I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme（极端的）. I found something that worked, though..There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a discussion in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension ( 紧张 ). He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying things.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed communication, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down . I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:“So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized （批评）him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher did n’t let him do what he knew well for the good of safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact.I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.1. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.A. was criticized for destroying thingsB. was told not to shout loudly at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension2. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?A. She didn’t want to make it worse.B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D. She hadn’t thought of a good way3. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ______.A. playing games with himB. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teacher’s feelingsD. avoiding saying critical words4. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation.（声誉）B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fearful of the author’s warning.D. He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding.BCell phones：Is there a cancer link?Could your cell phone give you cancer? Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes （疹子）to brain tumors ．Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (a kind of blood disease)．Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors．“It’s clear now that there’s a real risk，”said Carpenter．But others believe these worries caused by some experts’ warnings are not justified (验证)．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．“I don’t support warning labels (标签) for cell phones，”said Linet．“We don’t have the evidence （证据）that there’s much danger．”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场)and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all．A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been under way for several years．It’s funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The final report should come out later this year，but data （数据）so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk．5．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancerB．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone useC．some experts have given warningsD．cell phones are responsible for brain tumors6．By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones” , Dr Martha Linet has the idea that_______.A．the connection between cell-phones and cancer has not been proved .B．cancer—warning labels should be on cell phonesC．there is a link between cell phones and cancerD．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer at all.7．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate? A．Optimistic． B．Objective（客观的）． C．Opposite． D． HopelessCIt was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs (海关) to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty ( 应该交税的). It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy （处世之道）. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “have you read this?” I replied with extreme foolishness, “yes, hundreds of times.”“And you have nothing to declare?”“Nothing.”“How long have yo u been out of this country?”“About three months.”“And during that time you have bought nothing?”“Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.”He seemed for a moment at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was completely un expected.“Where d id you get the watch?”I could have kicked myself. Two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath , I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER and it had, not naturally stopped. I had got into the market and bought for 12 shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice , without any reason, during the journey.I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate (没收) the replacement.“It is not a question of confiscation,” he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?”It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband (走私货). Just when I let out a sigh of relief, he began to search my luggage!8. When did the writer arrive at London Airport?A. In the early morning.B. Late at night.C. At noon.D. Late in the morning.9. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?A. He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.B. He must have noticed the writer's ugly watch.C. He wanted to embarrass the writer.D. He must have noticed the writer's tiredness.10. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?A. He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.B. He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.C. He didn't like the watch at all.D. He was interested in the watch.11. What is the tone of the writer’s story-telling ?A. Humorous.B. Indifferent.C. Serious.D. sadDOne of the most common complaints of people living in the cityis annoying neighbors. Here are some ways to handle noisy neighbors.Accept Some Degree of Apartment NoiseBefore getting worked up over the noisy neighbors in the apartment, make s ure to haverealistic expectations. Everyone living in an apartment building is bound to hear noise from other units' televisions, music, and children occasionally.Understand Noisy Neighbors from their point of viewIt's probably the case that the neighbor who is driving everyone crazy do esn't realize howfar his noise is carrying.Remember that noise level is difficult to control with children. Babies unavoidably cry in the middle of the night.Meet the Neighbors and Be FriendlyMaking a friendly gesture will surprisingly reduce apartment noise. Neighbors who knoweach other will probably be much more careful not to bother each other.Address Noise Calmly and Face-to-FaceIf a loud noise needs to be addressed, go to the offendingapartment personally and knock politely on the door. Being polite will usually bri ng a politeresponseReport Noisy Neighbors to the LandlordIf a noise issue becomes a constant problem or doesn't improve after a pe rsonal request,it's time to bring it up to management. Make sure to be objective and fair in your report, and beable to record the frequency of the problem and provide details about it.Things to Avoid when Dealing with a Loud NeighborThere are some “don’ts” when it comes to dealing life with a loud a partmentneighbor. Don't· Seek revenge(报复) or try to "outdo" a noisy neighbor· Complain to them face to face repeatedly about the same issue· Suffer in silenceDoing these things may work for some time, but they're never good long-term solutions.Instead, they will probably only exacerbate the situation.12. The author agrees that __________________________. .A. we could seek revenge on noisy neighborsB. families with children can control the noise level easilyC. friendly gesture has a good effect on reducing apartment noiseD. people are aware that their noise has a great effect on their neighbors13.

What would be the best title for this passage?A. Who are your apartment neighbors?B. How to be a popular apartment neighbor?C. How to deal with noisy apartment neighbors?D. How to make friends with apartment neighbors?第二节（共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分）依照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

It can help your body grow stro ng to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be give n eno ugh en ergy duri ng the day.It is easy to get into bad eating- habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you maynot have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.Watch ing what you eat will help your body rema in healthy and stron g. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eati ng habit with some exercise is the key to your health.67. Which of the following diets do you think is the best one?A . Corn, fish , cream and pork. B. Eggs, tomatoes and chicken.C. Milk, bread, cabbages and beef. D . Rice, beancurd, apples, fish and chicken.68. Which of the following is a good eating habit?A . Going to school without any breakfast.B. Finishing your lunch in a very short time.C. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time.D. Having at least one food from all four groups in each meal.69 . In this passage the writer mainly tells us that ______ .A . the right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthyB . tak ing exercise can keep your body strongC . every pers on n eeds food to grow wellD . eno ugh en ergy helps people think more quickly70 . The underlined word “ dairy ” in the second paragraph means _______ .A . the shop that sells milk and butterB . the food made out of cows such as milk and butterC . a farm where cows are keptD . a place where milk products are madeThe term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team. In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation （文化适应）.Cultures are often identified by their symbols —images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles （图腾柱） carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes （部落）. In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor ' s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to asymbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression.To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric （from the Greek ethnos, meaning “ people, ” and kentros, meaning “ center ” ）. A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well- functioning society. An appreciation for one 'oswn culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism —the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one ' s own race is superior to all others.87. What does the word “ innate ” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Instinctive.B. Developed.C. Believable.D. Cultivated.88. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another.B. An eth nocen tric country ope ns welcomi ng arms to cultures differe nt from its own.C. Culture con sists of some positive features of a racial group, n atio n or empire.D. People from various cultural backgro unds ofte n reach an agreeme nt on some image.89. What can be in ferred from the passage?A. All aspects of eth nocen trism can produce n egative effects on a society.B. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures.C. Respect and accepta nee of differe nt cultures are a proper cultural attitude.D. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world.90. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Culture, the origi n of racial superiorityB. Culture, a faithful mirror of historyC. Culture, the vigour of world developmentD. Culture, a distinctive identity of a nation第二节（七选五共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

（要求：错一个，翻译一篇；错两个，翻译两篇；…以此类推）寒假翻译练习文章1Elephants have four distinct personalities that help their herd survive in the African bush, scientists have found.With their grey skin, mournful eyes and slow heavy pace, you could be forgiven for thinking elephants are uniformly melancholy(忧郁的) creatures. But scientists have now discovered the largest living land animals have personalities to match their size.In a new study of African elephants, researchers have identified four distinct characters that are common in a herd – the leaders, the gentle giants, the playful rogues(小淘气) and the reliable plodders (辛勤工作的人).Each of the types has developed to help the giant mammals survive in their harsh environment and is almost unique in the animal kingdom, according to the scientists.Professor Phyllis Lee and her colleague Cynthia Moss studied a herd of elephants in the Amboseli National Park in Kenya known as the EB family —famous for their matriarch Echo before she died in 2009.Using data collected over 38 years of watching this group, the researchers analyzed them for 26 types of behavior and found four personality features tended to emerge.The strongest personality to emerge was that of the leader. Unlike other animals, where leadership tends to be won by the most dominant and aggressive individual, the elephants instead respected intelligence and problem solving in their leader. Echo, the matriarch and oldest in the group, her daughter Enid, and Ella, the second oldest female, all emerged as leaders.The playful elephants tended to be younger but were more curious and active. Eudora, a 40-year-old female in the herd, seemed to be the most playful, consistently showing this feature throughout her life while playfulness in some of the other elephants declined with age.Gentle elephants, which included two 27-year-old females Eleanor and Eliot, touched and rubbed against others more than the others.Those that were reliable tended to be those that were most consistent at making good decisions, helped to care for infants in the herd and were calm when faced with threats. Echo and her youngest daughter Ebony seemed to be the most reliable.Professor Lee said that elephants with these features tended to be the most socially integrated in the group while those who tended to be less reliable and pushy were more likely to split from the herd.2The death of languages is not a new phenomenon. Languages usually have a relatively short life span as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial conquests caused a sharp decline in linguistic diversity, eliminating at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting and consolidating national languages and sidelining others. By making great efforts to establish an official language ineducation, the media and the civil service, national governments have deliberately tried to eliminate minority languages.This process of linguistic standardization has been boosted by industrialization and scientific progress, which have imposed new methods of communication that are swift, straightforward and practical. Language diversity came to be seen as an obstacle to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism became an ideal.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have intensified the threat to ―small‖ languages.A language not on the Internet is a language that ―no longer exists‖ in the modern world. It is out of the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are evident. First of all, it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural capacity for linguistic inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of ―the first language‖. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.Multilingualism is the most accurate reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will inevitably lead to the loss of the second. Imposing a language without any links to a people’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their collective genius. A language is not only used for the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world vision of those who speak it, their imagination and their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.3Many critic s worry about vio lence on television, mostly out of fear that it stimulates viewers to violent or aggressive acts. Our research, however, indicates that the consequences of experiencing TV’s symbolic world of violence may be much more far-reaching.We have found that people who watch a lot of TV see the real world as more dangerous and frightening than those who watch very little. Heavy viewers are less trustful of their fellow citizens, and more fearful of the real world. Since most TV ―action-adventure‖ dramas occur in urban settings, the fear they inspire may contribute to the current flee of the middle class from our cities. The fear may also bring increasing demands for police protection, and election of law-and-order politicians.While none of us is completely dependent upon television for our view of the world, neither have many of us had the opportunity to observe the reality of police stations, courtrooms, corporate board rooms, or hospital operating rooms. Although critics complain about the fixed characters and plots of TV dramas, many viewers look on them as representative of the real world. Anyone who questions that statement should read the 250,000 letters, most containing requests for medical advice, sent by viewers to ―Marcus Welby, M.D.‖ —a popular TV drama series about a doctor— during the first five years of his practice on TV.Violence on television leads viewers to regard the real world as more dangerous than it really is, which must also influence the way people behave. When asked, ―Can most people be trusted?‖ the heavy viewers were 35 percent more likel y to choose ―Can’t be too careful.‖Victims, like criminals, must learn their proper roles, and televised violence may perform the teaching function all too well. Instead of worrying only about whether television violence causes individual displays of aggression in the real world, we should also be concerned about socialreality. Passive acceptance of violence in the face of injustice may result from far greater social concern than occasional displays of individual aggression.We have found that violence on prime-time network TV cultivates（培育）overstated assumptions about the threat of danger in the real world. Fear is a universal emotion, and easy to exploit. The overstated sense of risk and insecurity may lead to increasing demands for protection, and to increasing pressure for the use of force by established authority. Instead of threatening the social order, television may have become our chief instrument of social control.4Italians like to say that when it comes to alcohol, they have a sipping culture rather than a drinking culture. That means that while Italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they don’t usually get very drunk.That’s not true anymore. The new study by the Italian National Health Institute found that 63 percent of Italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends. Now, the city of Milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. Anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to $700.Young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the US for some perspective. The US has the highest drinking age in the world: It’s illegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses.Many young Americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair: They are allowed to vote in elections and join the military at age 18, so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer?These young people have found help in an unusual place. Last year, more than 100 presidents of US universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age. They argued that the law doesn’t stop underage college kids from getting drunk – it just makes them want to drink more.For now, the law seems unlikely to change. But US teenagers who want alcohol can go north to Canada, where the drinking age is 18-19, or south to Mexico where the legal age is 18. Throughout much of Asia, Africa and Europe, the legal drinking age ranges 16-18.In plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young children can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it.No matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol. Teenagers in Milan are now learning that their reckless (不顾后果的) drinking behavior may come at a high price.5In 2011, many shoppers chose to avoid the mad crowds and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their computer. Sales at online retailers gained by more than 15%, making it the biggest season ever. But people are also returning those purchases at record rates, up 8% from last year.What went wrong? Is the shadow of the global financial crisis making it harder to accept unreasonable consumption? Or that people shop more blindly—and therefore make bad decisions—when online? Both arguments are somewhat acceptable. However, there is a thirdfactor: a question of touch. We can love the look but, in an online environment, we cannot feel the quality of a texture (质地), the shape of the fit, the fall of a fold or, for that matter, the weight of an earring. And physically interacting with an object makes you more committed to your purchase.When my most recent book Brandwashed was released, I teamed up with a local bookstore to conduct an experiment about the difference between the online and offline shopping experience.I carefully instructed a group of volunteers to promote my book in two different ways. The first was a fairly hands-off approach. Whenever a customer would inquire about my book, the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and point to it. Out of 20 such requests, six customers proceeded with the purchase.The second option also involved going over to the shelf but, this time, removing the book and them subtly holding onto it for just an extra moment before placing it in the customer’s hands. Of the 20 people who were handed the book, 13 ended up buying it. Just physically passing the book showed a big difference in sales. Why? We feel something similar to a sense of ownership when we hold things in our hand. That’s why we establish or reestablish connection by greeting strangers and friends with a handshake. In this case, having to then let go of the book after holding it might generate a subtle sense of loss, and motivate us to make the purchase even more.A recent study also revealed the power of touch, in this case when it came to conventional mail. A deeper and longer-lasting impression of a message was formed when delivered in a letter, as opposed to receiving the same message online. Brain imaging showed that, on touching the paper, the emotional center of the brain was activated, thus forming a stronger bond. The study also indicated that once touch becomes part of the process, it could translate into a sense of possession.This sense of ownership is simply not part of the equation in the online shopping experience.6If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason why you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say ―No‖ to anyone? Do you insist on doing thingsyourself that could be left to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.7As the new semester begins, millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper-or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it. They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at their pretty peers sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this does nothing to solve their problems.According to a recent report by the BBC, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are procrastinators, complicating their lives with their continual delaying of tasks.Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong. Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. Pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time.She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel flustered and ashamed, inconveniences others, and annoys loved ones.Fortunately, social scientists have made tireless efforts to understand this behavioral shortcoming and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes humankind is ―designed‖ to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.The first one is obvious: Break the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically.The second is clever: Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don’t complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time, they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.8During the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction (分散注意力) to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy (读写能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term "reading" referred to.翻译：______________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________。
高一英语寒假作业 第十天高一全册英语试题
于对市爱美阳光实验学校第十天美文晨读The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.最幸福的人并不是那些拥有最好的东西的人，他们只是能够将得到的东西变得最好。
幸福属于那些会哭泣的人，那些受过伤害的人，那些探索的人，以及那些尝试过的人。
只有他们才懂得对自己生活有影响的人们的重要。
爱以微笑开始，在亲吻长，以泪水终结。
灿烂的建立在忘却的过去之上。
只有让以往的失败和伤心随风而去，你才能过得更好。
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.出生的时候，哭啼的是你，周围的人却在微笑。

新课标2016年高一英语寒假作业4第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AI’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as w atching a movie.Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s he alth, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!21. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____.A. make his parents happyB. finish his school workC. improve writing and broaden knowledgeD. help him understand some movies22. If we don’t use our imagination often, ____.A. it is bad for our healthB. we will soon learn how to writeC. it will help us to have a good restD. it will soon disappear23. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Why do I have few friends?B. What are my life habits?C. Why do I love reading?D. Why do things happen for the best?BLike most English children, I learned foreign language at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was.At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. A worker asked if he could help me. “Yes.” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s nice. Are you getting married?” he asked. “No,” I replied. “I just want to tell her on the phone I have arrived.” “Oh,” he said, “There is a phone downstairs on the first floor.” “But we’r e on the first floor now,” I said. “Well, I don’t know what you are taking about. Maybe you aren’t feeling too well after your journey”, he said. “You just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better.” And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was. At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean .How can I wash up at an airport?At last we did meet .She explained the misunderstanding: Americans say “to give someone a call,” but we English say “to give somebody a ring”. When we say “to wash your hands”, they say “to wash up “. And Englishman start numbering from the ground floor, so the first floor is the second for Americans.62. The writer’s friend is an _____________________.A. EnglishwomanB. EnglishmanC. American girlD. American boy63. We know from the passage that the writer went to America_______.A. to meet his future wifeB. to marry an AmericanC. to spend his holidayD. to learn American English64. Both the English and Americans say “give somebody a ri ng __________________.A. but they mean two different thingsB. and they mean a some thingC. and they understand each o therD. and they never misunderstand65. The worker at the American airport _______________________.A. could understand the writ erB. didn’t want to help the writerC. couldn’t understand the writerD. went off to get help for the writerCMaybe you have seen many kinds of movies. Here let’s enjoy some movies that can make you have a feeling to travel.Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the NileThis movie series introduces a romance writer Joan and her adventures(探险，冒险) with a soldier named Jack. In Romancing the Stone Joan goes to Colombia to save her sister who was kidnapped (绑架). The scenes of the film were shot(拍摄) mostly in Mexico. For The Jewel of the Nile, the scenes were mostly shot in France and Morocco.The Lord of the RingsThe story is about Frodo, his friends and their adventurous journey through Middle Earth. Filmed in about 150 locations(拍摄地) all over New Zealand, this traveling movie shows its beauty. From the rolling hills to the volcanic region, this is the best movie to see New Zealand . The director of the movie Peter Jackson first read the novel on a train when he was just seventeen.Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventure CollectionIndiana Jones and travel are inseparable(不可分开的). Everyone remembers the red line on the world map that shows up on screen when he flies. The Egypt scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark were filmed in Tunisia. Temple of doom was filmed mostly in Sri Lanka and Macau. The Last Crusade was filmed in Italy , Spain and Jordan including an excellent view of Petra. Unlike the other, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was filmed almost entirely in the United States.The Talented Mr RipleyTom Ripley is a working class young man. Because of a case of mistaken identity, he is asked to go to Italy to persuade a rich businessman's son to come home. This travel movie starts in New York and heads to Monticello.

Education.DAre you ever so worried about something that you even have a headache or can’t sleep at night? Do you ever feel a stomachache during a test? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. When you are under stress, you may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid —all this can giveyou a stomachache or a headache. In modern society, most people are under the higher stress than ever before.There are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress may happen when someone asks you to answer questions in class or when you have to give a report. This kind of stress can help you to finish things better. Under this stress, you will find yourself have more motivation and energy to study.However, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you upset every day. That kind of s tress isn’t going to help you.The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life. If you get enough sleep and food, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll feel less stress.28. Bad stress may happen when you are______.A. giving a report in front of schoolB. helping other classmatesC. having problems at schoolD. answering questions in class29.

AOnce upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work．One day he was walking along the shore．As he looked down at the beach，he saw a human figure moving like a dancer．He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach．So he began to walk faster to catch up．As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing，but instead he was reaching down to the shore，picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean．As he got closer, he called out，“Good mornin g! What are you doing?” The young man paused，looked up and replied，“Throwing starfishes(海星)in the ocean．”“I guess I should have asked，why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out，And if I don’t throw them in，they’ll die．”“But, young man，don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes allalong it．You can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely．Then he bent down，picked another starfish and threw it into the sea，and said，“It made a difference to that one．”There is something very special in each and every one of us．We have all been gifted withthe ability to make a difference．And if we can know that gift，we will gain through the strength of our vision the power to shape the future．We must each find our starfish．And if we throw our starfish wisely and well，the world will be better．56．One day, the wise man saw a young man ．A．dancing along the beach with starfishesB．walking with a dancerC．picking up starfishes for saleD．trying to save as many starfishes as possible57．The underlined words“something very special”refers to． A．the gifts fromfriends B．t he strength of making decisionsC．our ownstarfishD．the ability to make a difference58．From the last two paragraphs，we can learn thatA．the wise man realized something new and importantB．the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes in the ocean．C．the young man had the ability to save only one starfishD．it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach59．The writer told this story to show us ．A．how and where we can write a good articleB．everyone can do something for the futureC．wise men ore sometimes stupidD．young men are in fact wiser than old peopleBChess ClubThe Chess Club is open to anyone interested in chess, including the novice, the expert, or anyone in between!

He will tell you it’s Mister Two who made him run so fast, Mister Two is always threatening to overtake and pass him.Ask the salesman who won the contest and what kept him looking for extra order. Ask the directors of the big company why they keep changing their product, seeking the new equipment, the added advantage. What drives them？ What keeps them going？It’s the salesman with nearly as many orders. It is the company with the product almost as good. It’s Mister Two.In thi s country, we’re proud of the quality of our champions. Our big men come very big. Our fast men run very fast. Our wise men are the wisest and our greatest men are the greatest that a country could hope to be blessed with. And why is that？It is Mister Two that makes the race always open and everybody can run. So this is for you, Mister Two. This is your song. This is for all the days you tried for first, and came in second.
