My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard.       Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.
My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon.      She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.
      Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us.      She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.
Often she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of good advice this is!    This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.

A.She enjoys listening to classic music.
B.As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort.
C.She loves her students and cares for them.
D.She never goes to expensive restaurants to enjoy meals.

E. My mother is hard-working and never wastes money.
F. I never forget it and always bear it in my mind.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
Not two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time, they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in the town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There is some good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well, or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

Which of the following places people name their friendly people is NOT mentioned in the
passage?

A.A room. B.A school.
C.A library. D.A town.

Why do people who have friends live longer?

A.They know more about the friendship.
B.They take less care of themselves.
C.They care more about their friends.
D.They feel happier and healthier.

This passage mainly tells us ________.

A.that people need friends
B.that people are all friends
C.how to get to know friends
D.how to name a place

Students who date (约会) in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
“Romantic relationships are a symbol of adolescence(青春期), but very few studies have examined how adolescents are different in the development of these relationships.” said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health.
Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade. Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires (调查表) about the students' academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.
“At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,” according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit, being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.
“Dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications of dating a co-worker,” Orpinas said, “When the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert (转移) attention from studying.”
“Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school.”Orpinas concluded.
According to the passage, students who date in middle school may_____.

A.have poorer academic performances
B.be more likely to hurt others
C.enjoy better school lives
D.are less likely to use alcohol and tobacco

When doing his study, Orpinas _____.

A.followed a group of students of 6th and 12th grade
B.found that the students' study skills have connection with their frequency of dating
C.completed questionnaires about the students' academic efforts
D.completed a survey and a report each year

What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up?

A.They will miss their ex-partners sometimes.
B.They don't want to see each other any longer.
C.Their attention to studying will be affected.
D.They will think it's reasonable to get depressed.

Orpinas’ attitude towards dating in middle school is _____.

A.supportive B.negative
C.indifferent D.positive

We don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.
Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

A.Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B.Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.
C.Because people won’t like making friends with each other.
D.Because there will be less face-to-face communication.

According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?

A.It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
B.The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C.The relationship between people will be more important than today.
D.Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.

The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.

A.disappointed B.optimistic
C.curious D.surprised

What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.How people will communicate in the year 2050.
B.What high technology will appear in the year 2050.
C.How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050.
D.What our life will be like in the year 2050.
