One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early, so I        my car by a small park, and        for her.
As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running    on the grass as his mother   from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been    free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass,    up, without looking back at his mother, run as    as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened .
At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even  a second attempt. They would be so         that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good      for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a    experience. They try again and again until they  . The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a    , they are not discouraged in any way. Besides, they _   think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make     , so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence (堅持不懈) and the manner in which he did.

Different weather makes people feel different.It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.
  In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States.People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month.In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times.People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
   The weather can also influence intelligence.For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower.The wind can help people have more intelligence.Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower.Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
  Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings.Winter may be a bad time for thin people.They usually feel cold during these months.They might feel unhappy during cold weather.But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.At about 18℃, people become stronger.
 Low air pressure(氣壓) may make people forgetful(健忘).People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days.People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“ The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything.” He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
【小題1】Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

A.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone. 
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries. 
C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend. 
D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things. 
【小題2】Traveling alone is challenging because________________ .
A.you have to make things on your own 
B.it is hard for you to prove yourself to others 
C.you can only depend on yourself whatever happens 
D.it will finally build your character 
【小題3】What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A.He started traveling alone at an early age. 
B.He was once shot in the arm. 
C.He used to work as a salesman. 
D.His website encourages others a lot. 
【小題4】What is the best title for the passage?

It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu (流感) that’s been going around?
A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.
On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.
Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine (疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus (病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗體). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.
The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.
However, good health habits may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增強免疫系統(tǒng)).
【小題1】If you have a common cold, usually you’ll feel better after ________.

A.a(chǎn) weekB.two weeks
C.ten daysD.twenty days

A.It first happened in 1919.
B.It usually doesn’t give you fever.
C.It is easy to deal with.
D.It can kill people sometimes.
【小題3】If you get a flu vaccine, ________.
A.it can’t stop you from getting the flu virus
B.it won’t cause your body to develop antibodies
C.your body will develop antibodies
D.your body will get a large amount of flu viruses
