Columbus men were afraid of the Indians, but he had a clever plan.He used body language to tell the Indians about his mysterious (神秘的) power to turn off the light in the sky. He knew about a lunar eclipse (月蚀) the next night because the information was in his almanac (天文历书). Columbus told the Indians,Tomorrow night Ill turn off the light in the sky. But they didnt believe him. When the eclipsebegan the next night, the Indians became very frightened.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. Im 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”“No seriously.” I said. I was curious about what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon(偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. Ill never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose.” She challenged each of us study the lyrics(歌词) and live them out in our daily lives.At the years end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.8. Rose made herself known to the author in a _ manner.A. serious B. cold C. crazy D. humorous 9.

According to her speech, _.A. whenever you have a dream, you succeed B. All people dont grow up while growing olderC. Rose usually regretted having done somethingD. a nine-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesnt do anything11. The best title for the passage can be_.A. Growing Older or Growing Up? B. Its Never too Old to learn C. Humour Does Count D. Challenge Yourself DA popular saying goes, Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. However, thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or knock us down. It doesnt matter if the words e from someone else or ourselvesthe positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too shy to admit it, though. In fact, more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This self-talk helps us encourage ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying Good job!Often, words e out of our mouths without thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner Or harsh (刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words have power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words have power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and encourage others to do their best Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.12. The main idea of the first paragraph is that_.A. nothing but words will hurt us B. positive words give us confidenceC. negative words may let us down D. words have a lasting effect on us.13. There is no need for us to feel shy when we talk to ourselves because _.A. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesB. talking to ourselves always gives us courageC. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesD. it does no harm to have self-talk when we are alone14. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely_.A. remind ourselves B. praise ourselves C. relax ourselves D. amaze ourselves15. The author would probably hold the view that_.A. encouraging words surely lead to kind offers B. people will always remember friendly wordsC. it is better to think twice before talking to others D. negative words may help us make more progress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。With the development of science and technology, mobile phones have been an important munication tool in our modern life. 16 First, 17 Mobile phones make it convenient for people to keep in touch with each other wherever they are.

Another way to keep up our spirits is to take part in sports. Not only does exercise build up the body, but also it provides us time to relax and fresh our mind, making us memorize things faster and longer. Music, too, is another effective means of refreshing and helping us concentrate better. Last but not least, we should exchange ideas with our classmates.
