James’ granddad wrote to help James quit smoking. He once became addicted to cigarettes in three ways. His body was accustomed to     1     (have) nicotine. He began to do it     2    (automatic) and became mentally addicted. But     3     realizing the harmful effects of smoking on the body, he finally managed to stop. He also told James smoking did damage to heart and lungs, and     4     it was more difficult for smoking couple to become pregnant. So he gave James some     5    (advise). Firstly, be well-prepared and be determined. Decide on a day to quit. Don’t choose a day that he knows is going to be     6    (stress). Once he decides, he should carry it out. Secondly, relax himself. When feeling nervous, do not reach     7     a cigarette. Instead try some deep breath and do some exercises. Thirdly, get help if he need     8    . If he feels desperate, don’t hesitate to ask for help from his friends or join a stop-smoking group. Finally, keep trying. Don’t be disappointed if he doesn’t see the immediate effects. Just try again and he     9    (succeed) in the end.

All these might help James to stop and     10    (strong) his resolve.

3 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Pumpkin (南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage-I carried an 85-pounder back last year.

This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.

With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost, I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork (软木塞) forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.

My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. “I’m going to set it down, now,” I said, and with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use. “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.

8 . Aaron Fotheringham has been an amazing person with backflips(后空翻) and other skateboarding tricks throughout his teens. And his famous backflip has won worldwide notice in the form of Record. Why did his particular backflip earn such a reputation? Aaron was the first person to successfully perform a backflip in a wheelchair.

Aaron was born ill. He has been in a wheelchair since the age of 8. Since then, he has even developed a new extreme sport in which wheelchair-bound athletes use their chairs like skateboards or bikes to do tricks. Now Aaron's friends call him "Wheelz", and he says it's huge praise.

Though Aaron makes his stunts(特技表演) look easy, doing tricks in a wheelchair is very different from using a skateboard or bike. It's a completely different skill set.

If a skateboarder goes into a backflip like Aarons and doesn’t start out with enough rotation (旋转), he or she can bend his or her body to speed up. This allows a skateboarder to make complete rotation in time for a successful landing. But Aaron can't bend his body any more than it is already.

That means Aaron has to have everything perfect before going into a backflip. He needs to launch himself to just the right height. If he doesn't, he could fall on the ground completely. "My rotation is so quick that I don't have much time to think," says Aaron.

Aaron's stunts take a lot of practice. He tries to make it to the skate park every day to work on his backflip and try out new tricks. Even though he's an excellent athlete, Aaron doesn't always land his stunts perfectly. But Aaron says he doesn't let bad landings stop him. He gets right back up and goes for his backflip again.

1. What do we know about Aaron?

A．He can do backflips as a disabled person.

B．He is an excellent skating athlete.

C．He has had to sit in a wheelchair since birth.

D．He has developed a new game by using chairs.

2. Being called "Wheelz", Aaron felt________________.

A．disappointed

B．happy

C．angry

D．ashamed

3. What is the most important thing for Aaron to perform a backflip?   

A．Starting out with enough rotation.

B．Bending the body to speed up.

C．Reaching a suitable height.

D．Having enough time to think.

4. What would be the best title for this text?

A．A Disabled Teen Competes in Adventure Games

B．A Teen Performs Excellent Stunts

C．A Disabled Teen Wins Respect from Others

D．A Teen Performs a Backflip in a Wheelchair

9 . The story began with a young mother who had three sons. Unfortunately, the youngest son developed slow thinking skills, not having the intelligence of his brothers.

With double duty as the mother of the household, she was exhausted, so that the youngest was often the garget of anger and annoyance. Bad words, such as “you little fool” and the like, served as a daily meal for the youngest.

The words and curses he got from the mother and ridicule from friends convinced him that he was distressing and embarrassing his family. Every morning he woke up with his own face staring from the mirror reflection, he started to say quietly and sadly, “The fool is going to school.”

As adult citizens, there was compulsory military service which should be lived. Thus, the youngest son also signed up and started to follow the various tests: a medical, physical ability test and other tests. On the day of the announcement, he was called into the board of examiners.

In his mind, he convinced himself that he was the fool and couldn’t pass the tests this time as he entered the room with his head down. It was not expected at all. The tests turned out to have the highest praise from the board of examiners.

“Congratulations, young man! Your test results are incredible! You are really a great and talented young man. ”Words from the board of examiners became the discovery of a new side of himself that was not known in advance. Voice kept echoing in his mind, such as “I, the great man, am in the shower”, “the great man washes his face”, “The talented young man again brushes his teeth” and so on. Confidence and improved self-image came beyond usual.

20 years later, the youngest established himself as a successful businessman who was admired and respected, and received many awards.

The mindset and belief are the power behind the success that is within us. Whatever we think and believe in or mind continuously, it will eventually materialize in reality. That’s the universally applicable law.
