When I was seven years old, my family created one. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arriveShortly after the chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to doAfter hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobsWith my mom s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants One day a tragedy struck the ant farmThe pages of the diary, still wrinkled where teardrops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy. I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, caving in all the tunnelsAlthough the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to dieI was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farmMy mother reported that the ants were dying of frustration. They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farmMom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much moreOver the years, I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of teamworkWorking together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselvesI also learned that they should be admired for their hard workDay in and day out, each labored at their taskThe ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key ingredients to successBut there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity （不幸、灾祸） is a natural part of life, and must be acceptedUnlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointmentUnlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build anotherGiving up, I say, is not a choice56The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _. Afor the ants to live in Bto get sun light in Clet the ants make tunnels Dfor the boy to observe57What made the pages of the diary wrinkled? AThe tears BThe earthquake CThe ants DThe tragedy58What did the writer finally realize? APerseverance is the way to success BHumans cannot give up when facing tragedy CPeople should admire anyone for their hard work DWe have to build another tunnel caves when it is in.59When did the writer draw a more important lesson from his experience? AWhen he was seven years old BAfter Mom taught me about the natural world CWhen his mother reported the reason of the ants death. DMany years after the accident. B Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly. A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important. But parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given. Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.60The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT _. A. they can save more money for their future business B. they can give them to charities C. they may spend them on what they like D. they can learn to deal with money 61The underlined word sacrifice in the last paragraph means _. A. 计划 B. 牺牲 C. 选择 D. 放弃62How many advantages of saving has the passage mentioned? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 563Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Children should save part of their allowance. B. Dont pay your child for work around the home. C. Allowance helps teach children early about money. D. Parents should allow children to spend money as they wish.

I had some bad news this week. My manager informed me of this news via email. It was like hearing about the death of a loved one via pigeon. Bad news should only ever be delivered face to face or voice to voice. We seem to celebrate our numerous methods of communication, but really there is no communication at all. I talk to my plants more than I talk to my neighbors, I get text messages that take me three hours to read because theyre written like this: “Hi, I ope you hv a gr8 day. Call me La8tr.” I had an email from someone this week that read, “Da ut ov 2day are really annoying me!” Ut? I had to say this 20 times before I understood it. Youth has now become ut. Havent we taken enough from themnow we have to take their letters? I had an email recently from a girl who used to live over the road from me as a child. She wrote, “Hi Shazia, howz u? Im sure u used 2 live across the road from me. We sumtimes played tennis 2 gever at the park and you were in your element. I am married now wiz 3 daughters.” Then, to my horror, she ended the email with: “Im now teachin in Leeds. Luv Clare.”Teaching? With English like this. Its like saying youre a train driver when youve never seen a train. It was like reading modern Morse code. Getting bad news via email makes it seem so much worse than it actually is. Just a few lines, no emotion, no comfort, not really an explanation. Just a few cold hard words. Its an excuse. Just write a few words and the problem of delivering it is no longer yours. A close friend recently told me she was very happy to announce she was getting marriedand made the announcement by email. I dont know how she didnt fall off her chair with excitement while writing it. If you are really happy or really sad to announce something important, wouldnt you like a human reaction? Some euphoria, elation, tears, a punch in the face? I receive long text messages every day with information and explanations that I dont bother reading. Theyre boring, and annoy me. In the time it took someone to write me three laborious texts, they could have called, spoken to me, made some tea. People who put a smiley face at the end of a sentence, in an attempt to show feeling, show no feeling. I wish there was a symbol for two fingers in the air, because thats the one Id send back.The telegram has been responsible for reporting world-shattering events when there were very few other options(选择权). Now we have options, and people opt for the least humane one. My mum, in an attempt to get down with the ut of today, asked me to teach her to text. Now she constantly texts me in block capitals, so it looks as if she is still angry and annoyed with me after all these years. People dont even write by hand any more. My doctor prints out prescriptions from his computer; even my mechanic prints out a receipt. I get typed Christmas cards and my friends send me emails. I get very excited when hand-written letters come through my door, only because they rarely do.When I was at school, the girls used to write letters to each other, even though we sat side by side and spoke to one another all day. I think it was a way of expressing private things we were afraid to say when we were 14 and too shy. We used to write things like, “You are my best friend, cant wait to sit next to you in math.” I miss the personal method of communication. Once the pen was mightier than the sword, now it seems the keyboard is mightier than the pen.67According to the writer, which of the following can support her opinion?A. She has been separated from all his classmates many years.B. No doctors write prescriptions by hand because of computers.C. In communication, we should write more letters than send messages.D. Less shy than school girls, boys rarely write letters to their friends.68According to the passage, we can conclude that _.A. the writer is a person full of emotions and treasures friendship and affectionsB. the writer becomes excited when she gets priceless gifts from other peopleC. her classmates would write to each other because they couldnt send messagesD. people put a smiley face at the end of a message just to show they are happy69Why does the writer mention the telegram?A. Because she thinks the annoyance of reading text messages is originated from it.B. Because we have more options to keep in touch with each other than ever before.C. Because advanced technology partly takes the blame for lacking the human touch.D. Because she thinks humans today become colder with the development of society.70Which of the following best describe the tone of this passage?A. Optimistic. B. Critic.C. Sympathetic.D. Pessimistic. 第二节：七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to stay in a good mood Its typical to feel your mood starting to become bad.
