The crow watched them with disdain (筆試).“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to m

13、ove your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, thats beyond you. Lets have a flying competition. Ill show you what real flying is!”O(jiān)ne of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge (挑戰(zhàn)). The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, a

14、nd then came down and looked proudly at the swan.Now it was the swans turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (評價(jià)) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldnt see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The cro

15、w was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended (假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “ “No,” said

16、the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “Im in trouble because of my pride (自大) !

Pride goes before a fall.BCats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are a lot of expressions about

19、cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金絲雀). If someone looks very proud and satisfied with himself, we say “he looks like the cat that ate the canary.”Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, it means that you cha

20、nge between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a girl might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.Americans might say that something is “the cats miaow” or “the cats pajamas(睡衣)” to describe something that is

21、the best or finest. “A copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another persons work. “A fat cat” is a person with a lot of money.If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret, we say you “l(fā)et the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a questi

22、on, someone might ask you if “the cat has got your tongue(舌頭)” Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cats away, the mice will play” means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision (監(jiān)管). You may have heard the expression “cu

23、riosity killed the cat”. This means caring too much about things that are not your business might cause problems.If you have ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like Sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficu

24、lt or impossible job is like “herding (放牧) cats “24. What can we learn from the passage?A. The expression “a fat cat” is used to describe someone who is very fat.B. The expression “play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on others”.C. It is more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats.D. Th

25、ere are more expressions about cats than those about dogs.25. In which of the following situations do we most probably use the expression “curiosity killed the cat”?A.

27、cats.C. In a magazine telling various jokes and funny stories.D. In a language book that teaches students how to use American slang.CHave successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obamas “back to school”

28、 speech. Here is an excerpt(摘錄) from his speech.I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard workthat your ticket to success is through rapping (饒舌音樂) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, youre not going to be any of those things.But th

29、e truth is, being successful is hard. You wont love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. Thats OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones whove

30、had the most failures. JK Rowlings first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投籃) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and o

31、ver and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they understand that you cant let your failures beat youyou have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.No ones born being good at things. You become good at thing

32、s through hard work.Dont be afraid to ask questions. Dont be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isnt a sign of weakness; its a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承認(rèn)) when you dont know something, and to learn something new. And even wh

33、en youre struggling, even when youre discouraged (泄氣), and you feel like other people have given up on youdont ever give up on yourself.

37、ngs have an effect on peoples emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you dont know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well. People often say they feel good

38、when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化學(xué)物質(zhì)) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a

39、 special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains (大腦) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vi

40、tamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial (人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!The weather can also affect peoples emoti

41、ons in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the

42、 weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.30.

Modern technology (技術(shù)) has provided us with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting. Perhaps most importantly of all, its also more interactive (互動(dòng)).Some kinds of tools

46、 (工具) have been developed. They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting. Attracting the attention of students is always difficult, but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn.For example, an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditi

47、onal chalkboard. It allows the teachers to show images and provide sound as well. If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images and sound added in, you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom.Various audio (聲音的) tools also help to make su

48、re that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say. In the past, if a teacher said something that a child missed, perhaps the child was too timid (膽小的) or nervous to ask them to repeat it. Now they are less likely to miss out simply because theyre sitting too far away from the teacher to hear the
