【推荐1】New Year was coming. Johnny wanted to do something special. So he and his friends decided to make a cardboard town to play in. At first they were getting on well, turning boxes into stores and playgrounds. But soon they had different ideas and disagreed with each other.

“It was my idea,” Johnny said, “so I would just do it without you.” Then he walked away in anger and left his friends Karen and Max alone.

“Wow, I didn’t expect he’d get so mad,” Karen said.

“Making a cardboard town needs a lot of work,” said Max, “Johnny can’t do it all by himself. Maybe if we give him some space, he’ll want us to help again.”

“I guess that’s why people work together. When we each played a part, it was fun and everything went a lot faster. Maybe I should say sorry to my friends. They were just trying to help and have fun with me, “Johnny said to himself.

【推荐2】There was a man named Zhou Chu who lived during the Western Jin Dynasty（265-316）. He was very strong—stronger than any other man in the village. People were scared of him because he often bullied（欺负）villagers. At that time, a man-eating tiger and a deepwater monster（怪物） lived nearby. They often caused trouble for the village. People called them, along with Zhou, the "three evils"（三害）.

One day, some villagers asked Zhou to help them kill the tiger and the monster. After three days of fighting, Zhou finally killed them and came back. But the villagers thought he was dead. They celebrated his death. After seeing this, Zhou realized how much he was hated and decided to make a change.

He visited a famous scholar（学者）named Lu Yim. Lu told him, If one realized what is good in the morning, he can change his behavior in the evening. Just do what you think is right." From then on, Zhou became a good person and stopped bullying others. Later he became a great soldier（战士）and died protecting his country.

Zhou Chu is a great example of the Chinese saying: "A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold." We all make mistakes. But it's never too late to correct them. On the other hand, we should also be more tolerant（宽容的）of those who sometimes make mistakes.

【推荐3】When something goes wrong, it can be very pleasing to say. “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my mistake; the bus was late.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you start thinking about how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability. Ask to work with a different person, or leave some simple jobs to this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable.

This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using yow skills and wisdom so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better as seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own ability. So, stop thinking about “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

1. According to the passage, winners ______.

A．have responsible and able workmates

B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.

“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant (仆人). He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Healthcliff hardly received guests.

“Help! Mr. Healthcliff! Help!”I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman ,who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.

“What is the matter?” Mr. Healthcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man -servant.

“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “ You should leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”

“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel angry after this, and accepted the wine.

Unless we spend money to spot（认出，发现） and prevent asteroids（小行星）now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.

Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids（流星体） that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.

Buy $500 million worth of new telescopes right now, they spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.

Is it worth it？ Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: （1） How likely the event is; （2） How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple. ”

The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets（队，车队） of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth？ “The world has less fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them.” said a New York Times article.

1. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids？

A．They are heavenly bodies different in composition.	B．They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
C．There are more asteroids than meteoroids.	D．Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.

2. What do scientists say about the collision, of an asteroid with Earth？

A．It is very unlikely but the danger exists.

B．Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.

C．Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.

D．It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.

3. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids？

A．It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.

B．It may create more problems than it might solve.

C．It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.

D．Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.

4. We can conclude from the passage that

A．while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.

B．asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future.

C．the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime.

D．workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.

【推荐1】Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air.

However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather.

Lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower. And the body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather because dehydration levels are lower in winter than in warmer conditions.

John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at ST. Mary’s University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects, were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.

From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweet. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates.   

When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to pump blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear mittens on your hands instead of gloves. Wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.

1. Why do most people dislike running outdoors in winter?

A．It’s too cold.

B．It’s hard to run.

C．It’s too easy to sweat.

2. The underlined word “dehydration” in Paragraph 3 means the loss of ___________ from the body.

A．water

B．heat

C．stress

3. Why did John Brewer make a group of people run in a room?

A．It was easier to be reduce stress.

B．It was easier to produce heat.

C．It was easier to record their biological measurements.

4. What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To tell people not to run in summer.

B．To describe how runners run in winter.

C．To encourage people to run outdoors in winter.

【推荐3】That year, I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal (正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths.

To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills.As time passed by, I made progress.

I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun.

After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.

As years went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke(中风).

Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—just as she had worked with my years before. She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU(重症监护室) and finally out of hospital.

One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”

【推荐3】Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons?
Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates （蒸发）into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles（圆圈）and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts, one is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.
Typhoons are very dangerous. In November this year, Typhoon Haiyan killed 5500 people in Philippines. More people are missing.
What to do when a typhoon hits?
Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.
Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
If you’re told to go to a safer place, do it right now.
