10、Some myths are stories told since ancient times to explain the causes for natural happenings．The Greek myth that explains why there are changes of   1   is about Demeter, the goddess of the harvest．She had a daughter, Persephone, whom she loved very much．Hades, god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone, and he asked Zeus, the   2   of the gods, to give Persephone to him as his 3  ．Zeus did not want either to disappoint Hades or to upset Demeter, so he said he would not agree to the marriage, but neither would he  4   it．Hades, therefore, decided to take the girl without 5 ．When Persephone was picking flowers in the garden, he seized her and took her to the underworld．When Demeter  6   what happened to Persephone, she became so  7   that she caused all plants to   8  ．People were in   9   of starving．But Demeter was determined not to let crops grow 10   her daughter, Persephone, was returned to her． 11  , still not wanting to disappoint Hades, decided upon a condition for Persephone's   12  ．She could go back to her mother if she had not   13 anything while she was in the underworld．Demeter   14   it because she did not know that Persephone had eaten several pomegranate （石榴） seeds in the underworld．When Zeus   15 this, he agreed that Persephone could spend part of the year with her   16  , but he added that since she had eaten the seeds, she must spend part of the year in the underworld．And so it   17 that when Persephone is in the underworld, Demeter is sad and therefore   18   not let the crops grow．That is   19   we have winter when plants do not grow．When Persephone returns, Demeter is   20  , it is spring, and plants begin to grow again.

9、Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship．Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos（禁忌） in a particular culture．Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs．They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children．You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends．The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements．For them, arguments can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.

In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics．In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private．They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they’re trying to build．Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters．It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.

As a general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion  with your business friends．This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views．In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable．Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport．Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.

1．The author considers politics and religion ________.

  A．cheerful topics                                    B．taboos

  C．rude topics                                         D．topics that can never be talked about

2．Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?

  A．Sports.                                               B．Children.

  C．Personal feelings.                               D．Families.

3．Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others?

  A．They don’t want to talk with others much.

  B．They don’t want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.

  C．They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.

  D．They want to keep their feelings to themselves.

4．What shouldn’t you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another country?

  A．Praising your own country’s sports.

  B．Criticizing your own country’s sports.

  C．Praising the sports of your colleagues’ country.

  D．Criticizing the sports of your colleagues’ country.

8、The common cold is the world's most widespread illness， which is plagues（病疫） that flesh receives．The most widespread fallacy（謬誤） of all is that colds caused by cold．They are not．They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person．You catch a cold by coming into contact，directly or indirectly， with someone who already has one．If cold causes colds， it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever．But they do not．And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes．During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches（戰(zhàn)壕）， cold and wet，showed no increased tendency to catch colds．In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp（奧斯維辛集中營(yíng)），naked and starving，were astonished to find that they seldom had colds．At the Common Cold Research Unit in England， volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time．After taking hot baths，they put on bathing suits， allowed themselves to be with cold water， and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room．Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion．Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose．If，then， cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds， why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains-taking research， no one has yet found the answer．One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times， and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on．No one has yet found a cure for the cold．There are drugs and pain suppressors（止痛片） such as aspirin， but all they do is relieve the symptoms。

1．Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage？

    A．The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time．

    B．Colds are not caused by cold．

    C．People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors．

2．Arctic explorers may catch colds when _______．

    A．they are working in the isolated arctic regions

    B．they are writing reports in terribly cold weather

    C．they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions

    D．they are coming into touch again with the outside world

3．Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit _______．

    A．suffered a lot                                        B．never caught colds

    C．often caught colds                                D．became very strong

4．The passage mainly discusses _______．

    A．the experiments on the common cold

    B．the fallacy about the common cold

    C．the reason and the way people catch colds

    D．the continued spread of common colds

7、The Man of Many Secrets — Harry Houdini — was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century．He was a man famous for his escapes — from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water．He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America．Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks．

Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers．It was simply strength．He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers．He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.

Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891．He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York．They called themselves the Houdini Brothers．When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant．But for a long time they were not very successful．Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898．Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.

It was the publicity（宣傳） that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success．Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape ankle chins．But his biggest secret  was how he unlocked the prison doors．Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck — and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.

Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame．He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited．In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full．What was the result? World-wide fame and a name remembered today.

1．According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on _______.

  A．his special tricks and supernatural powers

  B．his unusual ability and a skeleton key

  C．his magic tricks and inhuman powers

  D．his wisdom and magic tricks

2．In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this” refers to _______.

  A．his first prison escape                          B．the year 1898

  C．the publicity                                        D．Harry Houdini’s success

3．It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous _______.

  A．in 1894                                               B．before he married

  C．a(chǎn)t the age of 17                                   D．when he was about 24

4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

  A．A Skeleton Key                                    B．A Man of Many Secrets

       C．World-wild Fame                                D．Great Escape

6、 

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process．People have generally viewed personal growth as an external （外在的） result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．

By contrast （對(duì)照）, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．

In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．

These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing．We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．

1．In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______． 

A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder

B．grow up from his own achievements

C．face difficulties and take up challenges

D．a(chǎn)im high and reach his goal each time

2．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?

       A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．

       B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．

       C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．

       D．Father’s salary rose from 5, 000 to 7,000．

3．For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT _______．

       A．being curious about more changes  

       B．being quick in self-adaptation

       C．having an open mind to new experiences 

       D．staying away from failures and challenges

4．The best title for this passage should be ______．

       A．Facing New Challenges                    B．Growth—Product or Process

       C．Two Basic Ways of Growth               D．Overcoming Internal Fear

5、 

Children are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed．Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons （武器）, drugs and gangs．Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers．

Home schools are available to give you choices．Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule．At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours．Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation．A recent study by the ITBS （Iowa Tests of Basic Skills） and TAP （Tests of Achievement and Proficiency） shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average．In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools．

If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children?”

Fact: A nationwide study using a random（任意）selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test．

Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile．Collectively, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum．We’ve placed students in the top 2 % of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college．

One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons．For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at（877）532-7665.
