6 . During my years teaching communication courses at East Carolina University and College of Charleston, I got to hear many incredible true-life stories through students' presentations. Stories that stick out in my mind include a young man's sharing his experience of being falsely diagnosed with a fatal illness, another who failed repeatedly to try out for the baseball team before getting into a game he enjoys much more - golf, and so on. So many unforgettable stories; so much wisdom.

But one story really stands out in my mind to illustrate our incredible power. Here's what happened to this young girl, Suzy.

One Christmas Suzy had her heart set on getting a new Barbie. But not just any Barbie, it was one where she could cut her hair. At least the doll came with scissors. It was the last gift that little seven-year-old Suzy opened, and she felt pure delight. Barbie's hair went from hip length, to waist length, to long layers to irregular, to shoulder length, to pixie (小精灵) short... finally ending with a total buzz cut (圆寸).

Everything's ready and the logical thing to do next was of course for Suzy to cut her own hair. She cut layers and more layers and couldn't wait to show her parents and class.

Little Suzy had a hard time understanding why her mother wanted to take her to a beauty salon to “fix” her hair style. But Suzy firmly believed everyone at school would be so envious of her design concept and skill. Her friends would turn green with envy. Absolutely, her complete and unquestioned confidence in her appearance caused other people to see her beauty.

That story was told 12 years after the fact and Suzy still has pictures of that haircut. She would never cut her hair again, but she cherishes that memory of boundless self-value.

Confidence is like a muscle that you exercise. You decide to be more confident, to choose the positive performance, to take care of yourself, and the feeling of confidence comes to you after that. We all have had that level of confidence at times, but where is it when you need it?

1. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the author's background.	B．To tell some incredible stories.
C．To summarize the main idea of the article.	D．To pave the way for the following.

2. The reason why Suzy wants the Barbie is that

C．she feel like showing off her collection	D．she wants to give her classmates a surprise

3. Which of the following words best describes Suzy?

C．Sympathetic.

D．Aggressive.

Immigrants cook traditional food as a way of preserving their culture in their new homes.

Each country's unique cuisine reflects its history, lifestyle and beliefs. In China, harmony is reflected in Chinese cuisine,     6     almost every flavour is used in a    7     (balance) way to create delicious food. Also, Chinese people have a     8     (historic) elaborate(精致的) style, which can be seen in their architecture, costumes and food. In the US, the cuisine reflects its history of immigration, which introduced many different cooking styles. Over the years, the US therefore     9     (develop) a rich diversity in food preparation.

10 . Yesterday morning, I was riding my bike up a pretty significant hill. To get up that hill, I was, pedaling as hard as I could. I had nearly reached the top when I felt that familiar stream of water run down my forehead. Even though it was only 6℃ (42℉), I was sweating.

Our human bodies work in the best state when their internal temperature hovers around 98.6℉(37℃). When the body gets warmer than that, the brain doesn't like it, so the part that controls temperature sends a message to your body saying “Let's cool down !” That's when your sweat glands (汗腺) spring into action, and you start sweating.

Sweat is made almost completely of water, with smaller amounts of other chemicals in it as well. (We'll get to that in a moment. ) Sweat leaves our body through tiny holes in our skin called pores (毛穴), and when the sweat meets the air, it begins evaporating( turning from a liquid to vapor) and during this course it can. cool us down.

Sweat is a great cooling system, and it is also a great way for our body to remove certain elements from our bloodstream. Salt, ammonia, and urea (尿素), to name a few. Our sweat also contains biochemical markers such as metabolites (代谢物) and even heavy metals, which can give doctors and researchers a window into a person's health and even aid in diagnosing some diseases. In recent years , scientists have developed sweat sensors in the form of patches, bandages, and tattoos that can make these types of measurements on the fly. A team of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, is developing wearable skin sensors that can detect what's in your sweat. But before we get into that, let's look at how we measured sweat in the past, and how we're looking at it today.

1. Why was the author sweating in the first paragraph?

A．He had been biking very hard.	B．The temperature was very high.

2. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The parts in which people sweat.	B．The way in which people sweat.
C．The reason for which people sweat.	D．The results that sweating leads to.

B．Positive.

C．Tolerant.

D．Conservative.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
