It seems _ (34), but I felt better then.Rheas words_ (35) me what, as a writer, I surely have faithin: the power of story.As one writer said, all we have is stories. Its what holds our lifetogether. We call stories science, some stories myth (神话)，but imagine hearing for the first time that the world may be round. Suchstories only become real when we_(36) them. And somestories are never supported with scientific facts, but they still seemto hold true.For example, ten years earlier, Id dreamt that I should get a _ (37), and by that evening. Gracie came into my life. Whenpeople would ask what kind of dog she was, I would say Muppetwolf terrier (小猎狗）.It was something I _ (38) because Ibelieved Gracie was half dog, half wolf.So why not imagine now that she was off on an adventure exploring her wolf side?The fourth day started with me finding a_ (39) on thesidewalk, Id always thought of finding money as a good sign.

I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, hoping America would help my future.On the first day, with fear, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Everyones eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them, I went straight to the teacher and ask this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes,” his voice comforted me a little. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I chose the seat closest to the door. In India we assigned (指定的）seats. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image (彰像）produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didnt use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.Since it was my first day, I was confused which hallway touse, but I managed to get to my classes without asking anyone, I wasquite sure when I would have lunch. When the lunch bell rang, I headed for the cafe. I felt lucky because we didnt have this in India. Every confusion seemed like an obstacle （障碍）I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I got on my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasnt so bad.As time passed that year, I developed some friendships started to love my school. The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old could do them. In India the teachers had a more strict way of saying things. We also had much longer school days in India 7 a.m. to 5:30 pm while in America school was 7:30 to 2:30. The main difference I found in America is the amount I learned each day. Because of these educational opportunities I feel I am the luckiest person in whole world.45.The writer went to America to _ .A.live with his parents B. join his friend C. go to the best school D. learn more there46.

Heres what they told us.Getting Along and Having FunAbout two out of three kids said they get along very well with theirparents. About four out of five told us they have fun with theirparents. But that doesnt mean they never disagree. In fact, mostkids reported arguing with their parents sometimes.“Its common to disagree and argue,” says DArcy Lyness, achild psychologist （心理学家）.“But its also important to learn howto do so respectfully ” About half of the kids said they are doing that.When they disagree with their parents, they say they have adiscussion calmly.But two out of five kids said arguments always involve shouting at each other. Lyness points out that shouting never helps. “Speak up, and let your parents know your ideas” she advises. But be patient. Dont use a raised, angry voice.”Not surprisingly: three out of four kids admitted (承认）to lying at times. Many said they lie to avoid getting in trouble or disappointing their parents. According to Lyness, lying isnt just wrong. It can actually get bad results. Telling the truth builds trust. When parents can trust you: they are more likely to give you more freedom.” she says.A Changing RelationshipKids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close, and not getting along as well with their parents.According to Lyness, those feelings are not uncommon. As kidsgrow up, they have more disagreements or arguments with theirparents. But it doesnt have to be that way. Kids and parents getalong differently at different times of the journey of life/ she says.As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to adapt (适应）.“Theres a dance of ways that you act with others and getalong,” she points out. “Then theres a change, and its a differentdance.” Change is normal, she stresses.Share this story with your family. You may find that you have alot to talk about.49.According to the poll how many kids get along very well with their parents?A.About 4/5. B. About 2/3. C. About 1/2. D. About 2/5.50.What does Lyness advise kids to do when arguments happen?A.Listen to their parents calmly.B.Try to understand their parents.C.Voice their opinions with patience.D.Tell a white lie to avoid problems.51.According to Lyness, which is a possible way for kids to get more freedom?A.To tell the truth.B.To care more about their parents.C.To make less trouble.D.To have a talk with their parents.52.What can we learn from the passage?A.Disagreements between parents and kids are avoidable.B.Kids ages 12 to14 lie more because they have less furies C. The relationship between parents and kids stays the same. D. Both parents and kids should make changes to get on well.DTravelling with your belongs on your back, or backpacking is self-planned budget ( 预算）touring using low-cost transport, and often going on foot.Backpackers dont carry suitcases or stay in pricey hotels. Instead, they walk around with backpacks filled with everything they need: ready to sleep under the stars if necessary. With their limited budget, they need to choose lodgings (住宿) and transport based on an old saying the lower the price, the better.The lure (吸引力)of adventure has made backpacking a popular travel style among young people and students who are seldom owners of fat wallets. They prefer exploring a place by themselves, with only a printed map, or a smart phone on hand.A package tour may suit a familys needs, but its not my cup of tea/1 says Betty Lam, who went backpacking in New Zealand with three friends last summer. “I want to explore a place according to my choice, my timetable and myself.”Were there any particularly memorable events on the trip?Once? the train to Auckland was put off and two of our groupwere hungry, so they left their backpacks with us and went to a nearby shop to buy something to eat. I still remember the scene with Tammy and me running flat out to catch the train, carrying four huge backpacks. The other two were racing behind us as theyd panicked when they saw the train getting ready to pull away from the station. I held the train door open while Tammy was shouting. “Quick jump in!” Susie came in head first with June landing on the top of her like a sack of potatoes! It was so funny!So was the trip worth all the effort?“Definitely. True, we had a few quarrels (争吵);we have different interests, and it wasnt easy to please everybody- But we managed to reach a compromise (妥协）every time. Travelling with friends helps you learn about getting on with people and working together. All of us had gained a lot by the end of the holiday the four of us had become really good buddies.”What should backpackers always carry with them?Betty laughs not too much! Comfortable walking shoes are important. A raincoat is necessary and bring some practical clothes.”So, is that everything to bear in mind?Well, yes and no, because you cant prepare enough. You need much information about where youre going to stay, transport, food, etc. Most importantly, you must have insurance （保险）一just in case your money, passport or backpack get stolen, or you get sick. Take time planning and youll have fun safely.”53.What do backpackers usually do?A. Stay in pricey hotels.B. Face a lot of dangers.C.Spend much money.D. Choose cheap transport.54.Which of the following statements about Betty is true?A.Betty preferred travelling with her family on holidays.B.The friendship improved as a result of their adventures.C.Only half of Bettys group caught the train to AucklandD.Betty toured New Zealand with backpackers she met there.55.Whats the main purpose of the passage?A.To give us some advice on backpacking.B.To tell us about Betty5s travelling story.C.To introduce a hot travel style, backpacking.D.To encourage us to travel with less money.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选顶中选出能填入空 白处的昜佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。 (共10分，每小题2分）Learn to RefuseBelieve it or not, Ive always been a people pleaser.

And now people are sharing even their most private moments. TV star Kim Kardashian could be called “the queen of the selfie”. Shes turned hundreds of her selfies into a book at every possible moment, in all poses.If Kardashian is the queen5 then you could say Barack Obama is the king. But though Kardashian has nothing to lose by sharing too much, the same cant be said of the US president. Politicians have to be careful with selfies. The photo he took at the funeral（葬礼） of Nelson Mandela divided public opinions. Some felt it made him look like one of us glad to record a moment with his “mates”. Others felt the head of state behaved like a crazy teenager.Unfortunately for the US congressman （国会议员）Anthony Weiner, his habit of sending his private selfies to women killed his political career （事业）.Being crazy about selfies can also harm your health.
