A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to _   _ the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned_   _a pot（壺） of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some common looking; some_   _, some cheap. And he told them to help _   _ to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were_   _， leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is_   _for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root(根源) of your _   _ and stress.
You know that the cup itself adds no quality (質(zhì)量) to the coffee, _   _you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, _   _ you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, _   _ and position in society are the cups. They are just _   _to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by only paying attention _   _the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has _   _us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make _   _of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak _   _. And leave the rest to God.

Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is—the language of science. You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discourages if the whole passage don’t make sense to you at first. You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it.
These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult:
1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn’t make sense to you.
2. When a sentence doesn’t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly.
3. Look for any word you don’t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues(上下文線索). If necessary, look them up in the dictionary.
4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.
5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words.
6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ides together.
The stops sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one.
小題1:The underlined phrase “run into” means ___________.
A．work outB．come acrossC．look intoD．pass by
小題2: From the passage, we can know _________.
A．we should look up new words before reading
B．it is sometimes difficult to read a science passage
C．the six steps are helpful in learning spoken English
D．interesting stories help readers to improve their English
小題3:The massage is mainly about _________.
A．steps of studying scienceB．difficulties in reading science
C．ways of reading science passagesD．researches on science and English

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds,fish and other animals move from one place  to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily,but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（遷移）is probably the migration of the fish which is called “salmon”.This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water.There it spends its life. When it is old,it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they bccome too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way the seadide,and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of kind of lobster（龍蝦）.Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody know where they go.
So,sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another,but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.

In July, last year, I couldn't believe the news that I was      to enter the only key high school in my hometown. Then I rushed to my home and told my parents.

I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. Whenever I meet difficulties, I always think of my teacher and schoolmates, and I can always get enough courage to go on.

Santa Can Come before Christmas
It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables，when a young man asked me，“Can you tell me where the       counter（柜臺(tái)） is? ”
“Well， the milk is in the lower right corner，” I replied.
Picking up my things，I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man       almost 10 bottles of milk.
I asked，“Do you need a basket or a trolley？”
“Sure，thank you.”he answered.
I was       he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.
I laughed and asked, ”Why so many bottles?”
He smiled and said, ”These are for my street  dogs.  Today, I want to be a Santa           them.”
I said,” Well ,it`s too            for you to be a Santa,It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”
He              at me and walked a few steps,as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.
       ,we met again at the bread counter.
“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs ,Mr.Santa.”
He smiled and said, ”Yes ,These are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June, Santa is a representation(象征) of surprises and             . Santa comes in December as we             him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us that shines through our personality at some point of time ,no matter which month it is.
