1. I had the meanest mother in the world.      other kids ate candy, I had to have cereal(谷物食品),eggs or toast.While others had cakes and French fries,I had to eat a sandwich.But at least,I wasn’t     in my suffering.My sisters and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother     knowing where we were at all times and who our friends were .She insisted if we said we’d be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or     —not one hour and one minute.She made us wear the clothes made by herself,just to    money.Now you can see how      she was.
The    is yet to come.We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and      at 7:45 the next morning.We had to wash dishes.     beds,and learn to cook.I believe she lay      at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years,things didn’t      a bit.We could not lie in bed,pretending to be“    ”like our friends did to miss school.Our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them,black for passing,red for     .My mother,    ,would only be content with black marks.
As the years     by,we graduated from high school.Out of the four children,a couple of us         higher education than university level.With our mother       us pushing and demanding,     of us was allowed to drop out of school.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
Now I'm trying to     my three children.I'm filled with    when my children call me mean.Because,you see,I thank God,he gave me the meanest mother in the whole world.

1. Every day, Daisy wakes up next to a man,who has to convince her they are married.When she expresses doubt,he takes out a photo album and shows her pictures of their wedding 13 years ago·
Only then doesamnesiacDaisy accept that she has been married,and that everything he has told her is true.The lady’s condition was caused by brain injuries suffered in two road accidents,a motorbike crash in 1985 and a car accident in 1990.Since then everything that happens on one day is forgotten the next day.
She has no day-to-day memory after the car crash.And it is not just loved ones that Daisy struggles with.She uses hundreds of notes and reminders on her mobile phone’s calendar to keep her informed of appointments and everyday duties.And on the rare occasions when she takes the risk of going out of her home alone,she has to be armed with navigation(导航)programmed with her address.
There are some benefits,however.There is no such thing as a repeat on TV and every joke is funny, because it seemed she has heard it the first time.“It’s like I am living the same day, day after day,’’ said Daisy, who does voluntary work at a charity for people with disabilities three days a week.
Dr Peter Nestor said Daisy was suffering from anterograde(顺行的)amnesia.He added,“It is reasonably rare,but it does exist.You are able to carry out day-to-day things,and don’t forget how to do certain things like speaking.But if someone was to ask you what you did yesterday, you wouldn’t have a clue.”
【小题1】What caused Daisy’s condition?
A.Her disability since birth.
B.Brain injuries in accidents.
C.Her declining health.
D.Tiring working.
【小题2】How did Daisy’s family help remind her?
A.By taking her to the hospital.
B.By telling her jokes.
C.By showing her old photos and pictures.
D.By persuading her to recall the car crash.

A.strongB.optimistic
C.warm-heartedD.forgetful
【小题4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Daisy could still enjoy a lot in spite of her illness.
B.The only thing Daisy kept in mind was her home.
C.Daisy couldn’t do anything but stay at home.
D.Daisy didn’t want to trust anyone else.
2. Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer,Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son:suddenly he seemed to be talking more to his friends than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut,”Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter.“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk,”said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11,children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds.“In fact,parents are first on the list,”said Michael Riera,author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years,”Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first,then maybe their teachers,and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them.To break downthe wall of silence,parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say,and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break,for children also need freedom,though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend,not a manager,with their children is a better way to know them.

A.is always busy with his studies

A.Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
B.Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C.Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
D.Teenagers talk much about their own lives.

B.Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C.Parents should force their children to talk with them.
D.Parents should try to understand their teenagers.
3. American cities are similar to other cities around the world.In every country,  cities reflect the values of the culture.American cities are changing,just as American society is changing.
After World War II,the population of most large American cities decreased;however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increased.In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city residents became wealthier.They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes.They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区).
Now things are changing,the children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults.Many, unlike their parents,want to live in the cities.They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest.Many young professionals are moving back into the city.They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there;or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.
This population shift(迁移)is bringing problems as well as benefits.Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent.In the 1950s,many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs;now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago,people thought that the older American cities were dying.Some city residents now see a bright,new future.Others see only problems and conflicts.One thing is sure:many dying cities in America are alive again.
【小题1】What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A.They are dying.B.They are hopeless.
C.They are similar.D.They are different.
【小题2】Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War II?
A.Because older American cities were dying.
B.Because they were richer and needed more space.
C.Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D.Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
【小题3】According to the 4th paragraph,a great many poor people in American cities____.
A.are faced with housing problems
B.are forced to move back to the suburbs
C.want to sell their buildings
D.need more money for daily expenses
【小题4】We can conclude from the text that_________________.
A.American cities are changing for the worse
B.people have different views on American cities
C.older people prefer the city to the suburbs in America
D.the population is decreasing in older American cities
4. Do you sleep well? Some people get off to sleep as soon as the head hits the pillow, but many others are not so lucky.In fact,the lack of quality sleep has become a public health issue around the world.According to the World Association of Sleep Medicine,45 percent of the world’s population suffer from sleep problems.One in eight people don’t sleep well and are easily woken.7.6 percent sleep less than 3 hours each night.Some even can not fall asleep for several days in a row.
As a basic bodily and mental need,sleep is essential for our survival.It helps us to fight diseases,strengthen our memory, perform better in work and school and improve our quality of life.Lack of sleep is known to have a significant negative influence on health,both in the short and long term.Poor sleep has been associated with obesity, weakened immune systems and even some cancers,as well as depression and anxiety.
The World Sleep Day, held on the third Friday of March,is an annual celebration of sleep to lighten the burden of sleep problems through better prevention and management of sleep disorders.
Unhealthy lifestyle may be the first to blame for sleeplessness.More and more people use cellphones and computers in bed,with many staying up until midnight.Modern technology does make our life convenient,but abuse of it ruins our health.Environmental conditions,such as temperature,noise,light,bed comfort also play an important role in one’s ability to get proper sleep.Besides,improper evening diet,like a full or an empty stomach,coffee and alcohol all contribute to sleep problems.Of course,when it comes to causing poor sleep stress from finances,family or work should never be ignored.
However, those who suffer from sleep disorders don’t necessarily have to continue to do so—most sleep problems can be solved.
【小题1】What can be inferred from Paragraph 1 ?
A.Nobody can stay awake for several days.
B.All people are going through sleep problems.
C.Sleep problems have become a worldwide concern.
D.The majority of the world’s population can’t sleep well.
【小题2】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.The influences of lack of sleep.
B.The possible causes of poor sleep.
C.Poor sleep is associated with illness.
D.Good sleep helps us to perform better.
【小题3】What will be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A.The harm of sleep problems.
B.Activities on the World Sleep Day.
C.Interviews of poor sleep sufferers.
D.Measures against sleep problems.

1. What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 【小题1】 .Do you prefer grey and blue?
