Read our final choices last year below. After reading these, head over to Facebook and submit your own story to Reader’s Digest. 1. WINNER: $1000 Lynne Momple South Africa Mavis took one end and I the other and together we carefully moved the old bed through the bedroom door and the open balcony doors. We lifted it over the balustrade(扶手)into the hands of family members waiting below. Carrying it under the low Albizia branches, then past the loses, they gently put it down in the middle of the freshly mown lawn. Chantelle carried out the cotton sheets, the embroidered pillows, and finally the multi-coloured blanket her great-grandmother had knitted for me. Tonight on her 90th birthday my mother wants to sleep out under the stars. WHAT THE JUDGES SAID: “We thought this story had a strong visual impact thanks to the rich selection of words. It is a deserving winner. ” 2.RUNNER-UP: $250 Ritu Hemnani Hong Kong Cope and Meera played together every day. “Race you to the garden !” Meera won.“I’m one step ahead!” Cope chased Meera around the trees. Then she wept “We’re moving away.” Cope’s heart broke. “I will write to you.” For years they remembered. Then life pulled them apart. Yet neither one forgot. “It’s time for you to marry. ”Cope’s father said one day.“I have chosen a girl.” “I hope she’s sweet.”Cope prayed. Later, he lifted her veil(面纱).“Meera, it’s you!” “I guess I’m still one step ahead!”Meera smiled. WHAT THE JUDGES SAID: “This entry tells a complete story.

It is a classic comedy. D. It is a romantic story. B What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again. Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one. Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.” Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is

A piece of newspaper.C. A science magazine.D. A bulletin.BSpecialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. "Culture shock" is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment.There are three stages of culture shock,say the specialists.In the first stage,the newcomers like their new environment.Then,when the fresh experience dies,they begin to hate the city,the country,the people,and everything else.In the last stage,the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and,as a result,enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock.The weather may be unpleasant.The customs may be different.The public service systems-the telephone,post office,or transportation-may be difficult to work out.The most simple things seem to be big problems.The language may bedifficult.Who feels culture shock？Everyone does in this way or that.But culture shock surprises most people.Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their ing to a new country,these people find they do not have the same established positions.They find themselves without a role,almost without an identity.They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷惘）.This feeling may be homesickness.When homesick,people feel like staying inside all the time.They want to protect themselves from the strange environment,and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security.This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term,but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture.Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience-these are the long term solutions to the problem of culture shock.15.When people move to a new country,they ______ .A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficultyB. have well prepared for the new surroundingsC. will get used to the culture of the country quicklyD. will never be familiar with culture of the country16.According to the passage,factors causing culture shock include all of the followingEXCEPT ______ .A. language communicationB. weather conditions and customsC. public service systemsD. homesickness17.According to the passage,the more successful you are at home, ______ .A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroadB. the more difficulties you may have abroadC. the more money you will earn abroadD. the less homesick you will feel abroad18.The best way to overcome culture shock might be ______ .A. to escape unfamiliar environmentB. to overcome the feeling of homesicknessC. to stay inside all the timeD. to get familiar with the new cultureCBears eat human food when they can get some.But in a new study,the more human food 30 female black bears ate,the less time those bears were likely to spend hibernating（冬眠）.In turn,bears that hibernated less were likely to score worse in a test for aging.The new research grew out of an earlier project to see what wild black bears across Colorado were eating,says Jonathan Pauli,a researcher from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Another researcher Rebecca Kirby checked diets of hundreds of bears across the state when she was a Ph.D.student.She found that hunters there were not allowed to set out bear bait（诱饵）.That means the animals' way to get human food is mostly through finding human food themselves.When bears eat more human food,their bodies pick up higher levels of a form of carbon known as carbon-13.It comes from plants such as corn.The researcher found the telltale（报警的）form of carbon in an earlier study.They found bears in some places ate a large share of people's leftovers（剩饭）.Sometimes,these leftovers could make up more than 30 percent of a bear's diets,Pauli note.In the new study,Kirby looked at the effect of diet on hibernation.Bears usually sleep for four to six months,during which female bears give birth.Kirby and her colleagues focused on 30 female bears around Durango,Colo.These bears were watched over by the state's parks and wildlife department.The team first tested bears for carbon-13.They found the ones that ate more human-related food tended to hibernate for shorter periods.Studies on smaller animals show that hibernation may slow the aging process.If true,shortening the seasonal sleep may have an ill effect on bears.To test it,the researchers tested for relative changes in the length of telomeres（染色体端粒）.In the new study,bears that hibernated for shorter periods tended to have telomeres that shortened more quickly than those of other bears.This suggests the animals were aging faster,the team says.The bears didn't always meet Kirby's needs for several kinds of data,so she can't say there is a direct and "certain" connection between what bears eat and aging.So far,Kirby calls the evidence "suggestive".19.What does the new study show about bears？______A. They have much difficulty in getting food.B. Hibernating is their best way to stay young.C. Eating human food might cause fast aging.D. They hibernate for shorter periods than before.20.What can be learned from Paragraphs 3-4？______A. Hunters usually use human food as bear bait.B. Carbon-13 levels will fall if bears eat human food.C. Bears seem to be able to find human food on their own.D. Many bears only eat people's leftovers as their diets.21.What might cause a bear's telomeres to shorten more quickly？______A. Hibernating for enough time.B. Being weak with hunger.C. Eating much human food.D. Slowing the aging process.DLike a lot of people,I've always wanted to be self-employed,but I was afraid to make the leap.Everything I had read about starting a small business suggested I should have a whole lot of money in the bank before I even considered striking out on my own.Three kids,my own college loans,and several medical mishaps（灾祸）over the years had certainly not allowed for that.I'd had jobs I liked,but somehow I'd never been satisfied.Teaching school had been satisfying for about ten years,but then the brightness had faded.Jobs as a college instructor and corporate training designer had begun to become boring,too.One boring day at the office,I made a list of all the skills I'd got over the years in my jobs and as a freelancer（自由职业人）.The list was long.But I considered my dreams of self-employment an unlikely project,and the list went back in my drawer,only to appear the next time I met with difficulties in my job.As I continued to work at various tasks and learn new things on the job,my list grew.Finally,the little list stopped growing and developed instead into a business plan.One autumn evening,I showed the plan to my husband while we were out having dinner."It looks practical," he said."Maybe someday."I swallowed my disappointment.What did I think he would say？"Sure,hon,go ahead.We have no money saved,but just quit your job and give this a try.The worst thing that can happen is we'll lose the house."The next day I went back to work,and the list went back in my drawer.And then it happened：I got greedy.I had a perfectly good job at a perfectly good company.A good salary.A great boss.But another perfectly good company offered me more money,more vacation time,more everything.I took on a role for which I was not fully prepared.For more than thirty years,I had been the quick learner,the independent worker,the self-starter.And here I was,in my early fifties at a new job,not able to catch on or fit in.Now what？Looking back,I realize it wasn't that I couldn't still learn just as fast as I ever had；it was that I had entered a business environment where lifelong employees had developed a climate so particular to their company and industry that newcomers felt more like outsiders than part of the team. If I had done my homework,I would have known this was a poor move.Still,I now had to make a decision.Stay put and pretend that I "got it"？Financial common sense would suggest that I do just that,no matter how much pain it gave me.But I've never had a lot of common sense when it comes to following my heart or my head.My heart always wins.And this time my heart won in more ways than one：when I again brought out my little business plan during dinner,I was reminded just how much my husband of over thirty years loves me."I believe in you," he said.More powerful words were never spoken.I began my small business,which provides editorial and design services,a few weeks later.It hasn't been easy.I found out quickly that self-employment is not equal to "flexible lifestyle".I work many more hours now than I did when in the employ of others.And money changes often.Some days are good,and some days I still search the want ads and question the wisdom of my decision.No guarantees（担保）exist that my business will continue to grow.But no guarantees exist either that another employer wouldn't fire me or that I wouldn't find myself in a bad job situation again.I made the choice to believe in myself.And that's a risk worth taking.22.What can we learn from paragraph 2？______A. The author was not satisfied-with her present job.B. The three kids' misbehavior has already worn the author out.C. Teaching school is still attractive to the author.D. Being a college instructor is satisfying.23.That the author repeated the sentence "The list went back in my drawer" probably means______ .A. the author was not satisfied with the list of the technical skillsB. the author gave up her dream more than onceC. the author is determined to work at more jobs and learn more things on the jobD. the author was disappointed about her husband's response24.From the last but one paragraph,we know the author ______ .A. took advantage of her abilities got on her former jobs and started her own businessB. was positive that she would make a profit for her family though it was not easyC. stuck to her dream despite no guaranteesD. finally made up her mind because she was stuck in a miserable position at her work25.What does the underlined sentence "If I had done my homework,I would have known thiswas a poor move." mean？______A. If I had already known about this,I would not have taken the job.B. If I had done the homework,I would not have moved to a new place.C. If I could learn just as fast as I ever had,I would be able to fit in my new job.D. If I had known that newcomers would be outsiders rather than part of the team,I wouldquit my job.26.From the story,we can conclude that the author is ______ .A. generousB. humorousC. sensitiveD. independent三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）What makes a book a good read？It is a great question,but there's no easy answer!(1) There are so many styles and types of books.This is because people have different likes.For fun,go and read the 1-star Amazon reviews of your favorite popular book.Many people hate it and can't finish it! (2) Maybe,it depends on your preferences.Art is highly subjective.There are certainly many good books on writing and story structure,but they're more general guides than step-by-step guides.Since books have no hidden parts（all the words are there on the page），it's necessary to study the books you and others think are good reads and ask," (3) " Most serious writers have early readers who read drafts and provide their opinions. (4) They learn which parts aren't as good as they think.And then they rewrite the drafts.A good read isusually the result of many improvements of a bad one.One difficulty in writing is that it is hard to find people who can give useful opinions beyond "I like it" or "I hate it." (5) .And you have to try to be willing to listen to things that you don't want to hear.At the same time,be glad to make changes to a draft based on what you learned.A.Why do people like reading books？B.Does this mean the book is actually terrible？C.Why does this work the way that it does？D.You have to try to find good advice givers.E.They don't know how to produce good books.F.These writers are learning from actual readers.G.What interests one person may not work for another.27.
