A

party. She set up all the place settings and arranged her table with the great care and elegance (优雅) that only a three-year-old can create. Meanwhile, her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of "tea". Her Daddy, who always tries to participate in her games, would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say all the proper words and gestures for her tea party which would thrill Tegan. He would request two lumps of sugar. He would tell her how wonderful her tea tasted, and then he would continue his adult conversation with his family.

After going through this routine several times, her Daddy suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his mind: "She is only three years old, where is she getting this ‘tea’ that I've been dutifully drinking?" He quietly followed her without her knowing, and his fears were growing stronger as he saw her turn and go through the bathroom door. Sure enough, there she was stretching up on her tippy toes reaching up to get her ‘tea’ water -- out of the container(容器) of water that grandpa used to soak his false teeth!

The four children, all fifth graders in Miss Rasmussen's Grand Canyon School, are as different as any other 11-year-old child could be, but they have one thing in common — all are somewhat separated from their classmates and have a poor relationship with them. Sam is a newcomer and has had his share of school trouble before; Kelsey quietly carries her pain at losing her father; Judy's sense of justice always annoys others; Brenton is the smartest child in the school, so smart that even his parents and teachers have trouble keeping up with him. When Brenton and his three classmates are put into the same study group by their teacher, the others discover that Brenton has made a time-saving gadget(装置) to do homework for him. Although the boy is perfectly able to do his homework himself, Sam, Kelsey and Judy can use his help.

Having perfect grades is something new for these three, and as they meet every day to "do homework", they find that they're learning a lot about each other. Such a good thing can't last though, and when a secret man starts trying to get in touch with them, they begin to get nervous. Soon there's an even more frightening problem ― why can't the Homework Machine be turned off?

Told in different voices as all the children make statements to the Grand Canyon Police, the story develops in an interesting fashion. Gutman is a gifted writer who has written dozens of children's books, each with a funny and impressing table that should be equally liked by boys and girls.

55. What is one common thing that all the four children have to deal with at school?

A. Getting along with their classmates.

B. Doing their homework by themselves.

C. Overcoming difficulties on their own.

D. Catching up with others to get good grades.

56. Which of the following words best describe Brenton?

A. Strange and nervous.       B. Quiet and smart.

C. Brave and special.        D. Clever and helpful.

57. Why did the children get frightened?

A. They lost touch with each other.

B. They were questioned by a strange man.

C. They had no idea how to stop the machine.

D. They were tracked down by the police.

58. This passage most probably comes from ________ .

A. a student's diary  B. a book review  C. a school report  D. a science story

C

Anger is not wrong. I know this statement seems shocking and challenges the wildly popular "Positive (积极正面的) Thinking" movement, which encourages us to "be full of positive energy" and "let go of our anger." However, the truth is that anger is just an emotion, and emotions are neither right nor wrong. We do not consciously(有意识地) choose them. We do, on the other hand, choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong means of expression.

The reason why we're often advised to "keep a lid on" our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger. Instead, we are taught that "anger is wrong" and "you should keep your anger inside". But these messages don't change the fact that for most of us, anger exists.

Many popular "Positive Thinking" programmes assume that success comes from "controlling our emotions" and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements. Interestingly, these positive slogans (口号) often include a lot of negativity(消极负面性). "Only losers complain(抱怨)! I am a winner!" is one popular saying. The belief that those who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.

When it comes to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives, the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill. But we must use balanced and non-violent methods to express our dissatisfaction. Frustration (挫折) at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger, but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing (虐待) family members, damaging schools, attacking doctors or most seriously, engaging in terrorism (恐怖主义).

Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist, we should start teaching appropriate (恰当的) means of dealing with anger. When we experience angry feelings in ourselves or others, what we should "let go of" is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just a few sweet words. Instead, we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings. We need to accept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent (暴力的)and destructive (破坏性的)behavior. Anger isn't wrong, but failure to deal with it appropriately is.

59. What is the writer’s opinion about the “Positive Thinking ” movement?

A. It can help people control their negative feelings.

B. It does not offer useful solutions for dealing with anger.

C. Simply following it’s advice can improve people’s chances of success.

D. Most of the people who participate in such programmes are dishonest.

60. The underlined expression “ keep a lid on” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A. freely express                            B. always forgive

C. hold back and keep inside                  D. completely forget

61. According to the writer, the best way to deal with anger is to ______.

A. understand the cause of the problem and act appropriately

B. ignore the cause and hope that the anger will go away

C. respond to the cause with positive energy and words

D. let the anger out freely until you finally feel relaxed.

62. What information is useful to add to the final paragraph?

A. The names of some good books that talk about anger issues.

B. The viewpoints of people who hold the opposite opinion to the writer.

C. Different studies that provide some evidence supporting the writer’s beliefs.

D. Some examples of how to deal with anger in a positive and beneficial way.

D

Facebook (脸谱网) friends cannot replace the real thing, say psychologists(心理学家).

People are happier and laugh 50% more when they talk face to face with friends or via webcam (web camera) than when they use social networking sites, a study has found.

Dr. Roberts, a famous lecturer at the University of Chester, said such websites don't appear to help make true friendships. Based on two questionnaires(调查表), he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends.

Dr. Roberts, whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate, said, "The bottom line conclusion is that our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of communication. They depend on quality, and even Skype(一种网络即时语音沟通工具) is better at increasing the quality of our communication than time on Facebook." Even talking on the phone or texting does not make people feel as good as sharing a smile, the research says. The studies suggest quality, not quantity, of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life.
