Long time ago, there was a seed. Because he was only a seed,  36  cared to notice him. Thus, feeling useless, the seed thought he was not important at all.
Then one day, a  37  picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. He was  38 , thinking, "Why would a wind do such a thing?" But  39  any pleasant answers, he was  40  with sunlight as well as  41  , sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
Time flew by and years later, he saw a  42  sitting by his side. "Thank God for this. I really need some  43 ",he heard the traveler say.
"What are you  44  ?"The seed asked. He thought the man was  45  him. Surely he had seen many people sitting by his side,  46  no one ever spoke to him like that.
"Who is this?" The man was  47
"This is me, the seed. "
"The seed?" The man looked at the big  48   "Are you kidding me? You are not a seed. You are a tree. A big tree ！
"  49  ?"
"Yes! Why else do you think people  50  here?"
"What do they come here for?"
"To  51 your shade! Don't tell me you didn't know you had  52 over time. "
A moment passed, and the traveler's words made him think a lot.
The seed, now a big tree, thought and  53  for the first time in his life. The years of suffering from the sun and the rain were useful to him at last.
"Oh! That means I'm not a(n)  54  seed anymore! Wow! I'm a big tree now. That's the  55  that I really want !"

     One woman in nine will develop breast cancer (乳腺癌) over her lifetime. However, a healthy diet can reduce your risk of developing the disease by 40 to 60 percent.
Generally speaking, eating more vegetables can reduce your risk of developing breast cancer by 60 percent. Vegetables like cabbage are rich in fiber (纖維), can lower your risk of developing breast cancer. To get the most from their goodness, it’s recommended that you eat at least three to four cups of these vegetables per week.
It’s the oleic acid (油酸) contained in olive oil. American scientists conducting laboratory research have observed that oleic acid has a beneficial effect on breast cancer cells. Olive oil is the richest source of this acid, so whenever possible, use it in place of butter.
Eating fruit is another excellent way to help prevent the development of breast cancer. In fact, women who do eat fruit are six percent less likely to develop the disease. The American Institute for Cancer Research considers berries (漿果類) (blueberries, strawberries, etc.) to be powerful for breast cancer fighters.
It’s the lycopene (番茄紅素), found in great quantities in tomatoes, that can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. The lycopene found in canned tomatoes is more readily absorbed by the body than that contained in fresh ones, so add tomato juice, paste, and sauce to your diet.
As a result of various studies, the American Institute for Cancer Research has concluded that components (成分) found in green tea can help halt the development of cancerous tumours (瘤) and even prevent them from appearing in the first place. Three cups a day will help you get the benefits of green tea.
小題1:What does the author mainly tell us?
How to cure breast cancer by eating healthy foods.
Healthy diets help fight against breast cancer.
Proper fruits, vegetables and drinks keep you fit.
Breast cancer is the most terrible killer for women.
小題2:We learn from the passage that ________.
eating more fruit and vegetables can stop your risk of developing cancer
olive oil can help breast cancer cells develop
women eating tomatoes won’t suffer from breast cancer
components found in green tea can reduce the risk of developing cancer
小題3:What does the underlined word "halt"in the last paragraph mean?
A. stop
B. increase
C. change
D. pull
小題4:According to the passage, the author may agree that ________.
A．Ten percent of women suffer from breast cancer
B．Berries are the richest source of the oleic acid
C．The lycopene found in olive oil has a good effect on breast cancer cells

“It was cool，because I got a chance to be in a studio and see how a record is made，”says 14-year-old Javon Martin，who joined the music clubhouse 3 years ago.“It has impacted my life in a big way. People are actually starting to see me as an artist.”Ten-year-old Akheylah Hunter didn’t play an instrument when she became a club member last year. Now，she plays piano and sings with the band. What she likes best，she says，is performing.“We performed in different places，”she says.“We go on trips and it is fun.”
Since the Music Clubhouse opened three years ago，it’s served almost 500 kids.Aggeler says performing in front of different audiences helps the young musicians build self-esteem.Coming to the club to prepare for those performances helps them learn how to deal with their personal problems and concerns.
“I can see what it does for them and it just develops confidence，”he explains.“It’s also an escape from the big problems we have in the neighborhood. So whether they feel embarrassed about a zit on their face，or they feel embarrassed because they’re not as tall as somebody，they can rap about it and let it out a little bit.”
To expand the club and help more kids learn music，Aggeler sought the support of the community. The Berklee College of Music and local music stores have provided free equipment. The club has also gotten support from the Music and Youth Initiative，a nonprofit that develops after school music education programs in underserved communities in Massachusetts. All these have made it possible to provide kids who may not have the means to get private music lessons the opportunity to still learn music and get all the benefits that music education brings.”
小題1:Why does the writer mention the two children in the first paragraph？
A．To tell readers that all children like music.
B．To provide examples of how children like the club.
C．To convince readers that music can solve many problems.

A．Helping the youngsters to build self-confidence.
B．Helping its members escape from problems.
C．Learning to deal with personal problems.
D．Learning to get help from nonprofit groups.
小題3:What is Mr.Aggeler’s possible post？
A．An organizer of the club.B．A conductor of the band.
C．An expert in child problems.D．A parent of one of the children.

Many American schools have a student exchange program with foreign countries. Along with this program,there is usually another one called the“American Host Family”program.As its name suggests,the program gets American families involved in foreign students’ lives in America and offers homes for them.
Foreign students generally welcome such an opportunity to have a“family”here,but there are also those who prefer to stay“homeless”.
Many American families volunteer to host foreign students.However,if there is a shortage of host families,schools also get in touch with local people and introduced foreign students to them.
The“American Host Family”program changes in lengths of time.It can go from a few days to a few years,depending on each individual school.After the first year is over,it is up to foreign students and their“families”to decide if they want to stay together as a“family”.American families can host as many foreign students as they like.They can either have several students or just one at a time.Many families start with new students each year while still keeping in touch with the old ones.Schools usually leave it to foreign students and their host families to decide their activities after both sides meet.
My school, however, holds activities every year. On major holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas,foreign students are usually invited to their thomes for dinner.Even schools that do not have host family programs often arrange students to get together with American families on these special holiday occasions.
It is typical that a host family invites its foreign daughter or son over,and they cook the student’s home food together,Undoubtedly,Chinese students are usually considered good cooks,whether or not they are really qualified for such praise at home.Although many Chinese students rarely cooked at home,they often have a hard time making their American friends believe that they cannot cook.It often happens when a Chinese student promises to cook a Chinese meal for his host family,he usually sees a little crowd expecting him:friends or relatives are also invited over for the“special”Chinese food!

“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend.
Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister.
“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two,” Jenna announced loudly
The next year, in Grade Four, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, We had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy (專橫的). I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me a terrible Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
“Wow,” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”
“Okay…well… I have to go,” she said softly.
“Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.
“Who was that at the door?” my mom asked.
“It was Jenna, my classmate.” I said.
The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eighty-two.”
I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in the backyard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to make my friends feel sorry for me.

Gossip moves so quickly that few people have time to cover their ears, even if they want to.
“I hate it when others gossip about me,” said Mandy Miraglia, 16, a high school student from California, “but to be honest, gossip about my friends makes me feel I am trusted and belong to the group.” Miraglia is not the only person feeling like that.
Gossip has long been looked down on as little more than nonsense and bad manners. But recent research has shown that gossip has many positive effects on your social life.
“There has been a trend among people to dislike gossip,” said David Sloan Wilson, Professor from the State University of New York in Binghamton, US, “but gossip appears to be a very important form of behavior in a group of friends, defining their group membership.”
For 18 months, Kevin Kniffin, from the University of Wisconsin, US, researched the behavior of 50 people. He found that gossip levels peaked when a sports team included a slacker, someone who regularly missed practices or showed up late. Other members of the team would soon start to joke about the slacker’s shortcomings behind his back, because they thought they were bad for the whole team.
Gossip about the mistakes of senior members helps newcomers rebuild their confidence after a failure.
It also helps relieve social and professional anxiety. Long-term studies show that people around the world devote from a fifth to two-thirds or more of their daily conversation to gossip, and men appear to be just as eager for gossip as women.
It is hard to judge gossip, but it is more powerful than you think.
小題1: The author would probably agree that______________.
A．gossip is bad manners
B．gossip has many good effects
C．gossip is somewhat like nonsense
D．gossip is more powerful than advice
小題2: What does the underlined word “slacker” mean according to the context?
A．Someone who values the team benefit much.
B．Someone who does not do what they should well.
C．Someone who is active in sports.
D．Someone who shows no much interest in sports.
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Gossip is a useful way of building group membership.
B．Gossip can possibly make someone confident.
C．Generally, women are fonder of gossip than men.
D．Actually, everyone gossips to some degree in their daily conversation.
