But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didnt realize how difficult it was until my classes in the high school began,I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in, I always finished it the next day between classes.I knew it wasnt very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed my spare time a lot.Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. Im glad that Ive learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.（1）At first, when did the writer always finish her homework?A . After school was over.B .

Do you step on it?When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微处理器）.Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people cant,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾）to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(触须）. They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight. ”With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches dont always move in the right direction.（1）The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because _.A . they want cockroaches to do things people cant in the futureB . they want to control the movements of the cockroachesC . they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakesD . they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches（2）What can cockroaches do to help people?A . They can lift 20 times their own weight.B . They can help people to carry very small cameras.C . They can breed hundreds of cockroaches.D . They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.（3）Scientists control cockroaches movements _.A . by removing their wingsB . by sending signals from the remote controlC . by using very small camerasD . by removing their antennae（4）What problem do the rcscarchcrs meet with?A . The cockroachcs sometimes clon;t move.B . The cockroachcs sometimes move in ihc wrong direction.C . The cockroachcs arc too big to move through earthquake rubble.D . The cockroachcs can only lift 20 times their own weight.4. （4分）阅读理解 As time goes by, are you still the same person you used to be? Many of you would think you are. But according to a new study, your personality can change greatly. You could be a completely different person at 77, compared to when you were a 14-year-old, reported The Huffington Post.Psychologists(心理学家) at the UKs University of Edinburgh did the study on a group of Scottish people. The research found that almost everyones personality changed when they grow old. The findings are published in a journal called Psychology and Aging.The research is based on a study that began in 1950. A group of teachers gave more than1, 200 14-year-old students personality tests. They tested six basic personality traits(个性特点): self-confidence, sense of responsibility, perseverance (耐性), strong wishes to win, creativity and moods.In 2012, researchers successfully found 174 of those 1, 200 students, who were 77 years old on average at the time. They agreed to take a personality test similar to the one they had completed 63 years earlier.Researchers then compared the then-and-now test results. They were surprised to find great changes to all six personality traits of these people. Moods and sense of responsibility had changed less. But there were still not too many similarities between the two results.The younger and older self seemed to be totally different for each person. It was as if the second tests had been given to different people, the studys authors noted.In the past, personality was widely believed to be stable(稳定的). William James, the father of American psychology, said that personality is set like plaster(石膏板) . This new study may bring some fresh ideas to the theory(理论).（1）What did the UK scientists study in this story? A . Blood typeB . Eye colorC . PersonalityD . Working ability（2）How many people did the test in 2012? A . 77B . 1,200C . 174D . 63（3）Which of the following is TRUE? A . Scientists did research on a group of Irish teenagers.B . The personality test studied six basic traits.C . The 2012 personality test was very different from the original one.D . The test results about creativity and mood did not change.（4）What did William James believe? A . A persons personality hardly changes.B . A persons personality can change with time.C . Different people have different personalities.D . Even plaster has a personality.二、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共1分)5. （1分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。Street Markets Around the WorldThere are many ways of shopping.
