My mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much.
As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.
To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!
Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.
The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.
An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.
I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet.
As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. I’ve found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.

A. to show how one communicates effectively
B. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation

The current Ebola (埃博拉病毒)outbreak in western and central Africa has infected at least 3,069 people, including 1,552 dead, making it the largest outbreak in history. Ebola is a deadly virus-about 60 percent of people infected with it have died.
How is Ebola doing its harm?
When a person becomes infected with Ebola, the virus damages the body’s immune (免疫的)cells, which defend against infection, said a researcher at Lancaster University. But if a person’s immune system can stand up to this attack, then he is more likely to survive the disease.
The patients that survive it best are those who don’t get such a bad disadvantage in immune system. But if the body isn’t able to get rid of this attack, then the immune system becomes less able to regulate(调节) itself. This means the immune system is more likely to run out of control, leading to a drop in blood pressure, multi-organ failure and eventually death.
What are the common symptoms of the disease?
Fever. Headache. Joint and muscle aches. Weakness. Diarrhea. Vomiting. Stomach pain. Lack of appetite. Chills. Rash. Redness in the eyes. Hiccups. Cough. Sore throat. Chest pain. Difficult breathing or swallowing. Bleeding inside and outside of the body.
How to prevent the spread of Ebola?
Ebola can be spread primarily via direct contact with patients, specifically the blood and fluids of an infected patient.
We should avoid contact with infected patients and objects such as clothing, bedding, and needles used by them. Avoid areas where infections have been reported. For now, the disease has only been confirmed in central and West Africa, four cases in America and Europe. Avoid eating wild-caught bush meat. Researchers have suspected that the disease came to humans via animals, probably through the meat of primates(灵长类). If you’re in an area where the disease has been reported, avoid purchasing, eating, or handling wild game to stay on the safe side.
Wear protective medical clothing if you’re around infected patients. Extreme caution is necessary. Hospital workers must use masks, gloves, goggles, and gowns, which needed to be worn at all times if you’re around infected patients.
How Do People Survive Ebola?
Doctors don’t know for certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specific treatment or cure for the disease. Although in the minority, some people do recover from infection.
Our suggestions include:
Maintain your electrolytes(电解质) and body liquid. Sports drinks can be used. Monitor your blood pressure and control it if necessary. Dropping blood pressure may be a serious sign of infection. Breathe in an oxygen-rich environment. Quickly address any symptoms of infection. Be honest about when and where you’re feeling pain.
4. Ebola causes the death of a human being by .
A. attacking him with high fever B. regulating his immune system
C. damaging his immune cells D. harming all his organs directly
5. What is NOT mentioned as the symptom of Ebola?
A. Fever and chills B. Swallowing difficulty
C. Lack of appetite D. High blood pressure
6. In order not to be infected by Ebola, we should .
A. have the clothing of the infected cleaned
B. avoid eating wild animals like monkeys
C. not travel to Africa, America or Europe
D. stay at home without going anywhere
7. It is true that .
A. a certain number of people survive Ebola
B. human has found a special cure for Ebola
C. oxygen can save infected people’s lives
D. low blood pressure is surely caused by Ebola

I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握) my fists with impatience.
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, rlight and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for' the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested, because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I' d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it'8 part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too.
Trust is our rrrst tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be
suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.
It' s a very good thing too, because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not disWst. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'II do; we show up when we say we'll show up; we deliver when we say we'U deLiver; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and
when we don't do what we' ve promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

A. Because he had already driven for a long time.
B. Because it was too far away from his destination.
C. Because something urgent happened in lus family.
D. Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road.

A. there were passers-by crossing the road
B. some policemen were on duty just at that point
C. the trust between people influenced the author

B. The social system would be thrown into disorder.

Like international travelers anywhere, foreigners visiting the United States from other countries can be confused by some of what they encounter. Fortunately, their fellow travelers have plenty of advice. Here are some specially good travel advice from around the world.
From Italy:
Tipping is filled with misunderstanding. Q. Is it true that I have to “force” to tip at all? A. It is not mandatory to tip, however, it is strongly recommended, because in many cases it is the only entry of workers. Generally in a restaurant, in the cab, and in many places where there is a service tip is 15%. Since the bill that will explain you exactly the city tax of 8.875%, is sufficient to double that sum, without bothering to do the calculations. In the hotel you leave two dollars per day per person cleaning. Obviously you do not leave tips in places like McDonalds or Starbucks.
From China:
Americans love to follow rules, even when no one is looking. “Americans are such strict rule followers. I witnessed this once sitting on the sidelines of a high school dodge ball game. To me, it was ridiculous, a little violent, and very American. It struck me that my classmates followed the rules of the game so strictly. Even when no one noticed that a person had been hit and he could have kept playing, he voluntarily gave himself up and left the game. I was deeply impressed by how much people honored the rules even when they are not seen.”
From Russia:
Gifts are not a big deal. And did you know bribery (行贿) was illegal? “Gifts: Americans do not expect them. On the contrary, an unexpected gift while conducting business can put an American in an awkward position. Such things for Americans suggest exchange of commercial.
Business gifts in the U.S. are not acceptable. Moreover, they often cause suspicion. Americans fear that they could be interpreted as a bribe, and in the United States that is strictly punishable by law.”
From Japan:
Nobody is impressed by how much you can drink. “In the U.S., they do not have a sense of pride if they drink a large amount. Rather, if you drink a lot, there is a sense that you cannot manage yourself, and you can lose respect from those around you. Being drunk doesn't excuse your actions, and to drink alcohol habitually is a sign of alcoholism. Alcoholics are seen as mentally weak, and are avoided by society due to their inability to have self control.”
12. What does the passage mainly tell about?
A. Cultural diversity. B. Cultural differences.
C. Cultural revolution. D. Cultural construction.
13. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mandatory” in Para. 3?
A. Required. B. Forbidden.
C. Permitted. D. Arranged.
14. According to the passage, what are Americans most likely to do?
A. Tipping everywhere. B. Sending a surprising business present.
C. Drinking a lot. D. Obeying the game rules.
15. Which word do the international travelers probably use to describe Americans?
A. Confident. B. Self-disciplined.
C. Selfless. D. Generous.

Recently there has been a heated debate on whether the university should charge a fee to the public who use its sports field. People’s attitudes toward it vary from person to person.
Many people think that universities should serve the public, not just their professors and students. In _____36_____ opinion, universities are public assets—they should serve not only the students and faculty _____37_____ the general public as well. If there are too many “outside” people on the campus disturbing the order, school officials should do something to control the crowds without_____38_____(demand) payment. In addition, the university has many other options to control public access____39____ the campus or sports field, such as giving free access cards to ____40____ (resident) of the closest communities, or rotating a limited number of cards between residents. Charging a fee is not a fair option.
However, opponents argue that universities are not ____41____(complete) open spaces for the public to use. They hold the view that charging a fee is the most effective way of controlling access and making the most value out of the university’s resources. A high fee would filter out most of the visitors who have no desire ____42____(use) the sports field for its intended purpose. Besides, universities and their assets are expensive investments, ___43___ (fund) by the government and the public, for the education of students and ____44____ (science) research. If members of the public ____45____(want) to use these facilities, which might cause stress on the university’s resources, it will make sense that they should pay a price.

【名师点睛】语法填空主要考查考生对文章的理解以及句子结构的分析，考生可以先通读整体把握短文大意再细读全文，重点分析空白所在句及上下句，逐一作答。这种题型主要考查名词单复数、形容词副词、动词时态语态、代词的使用等。遇到复合句型要多加思考，仔细品味，分析好句子成分后即可轻松作答。例如第10小题“If members of the public __10__(want) to use these facilities, which might cause stress on the university’s resources, it will make sense that they should pay a price. 如果公众人士想使用这些设施，这可能会对大学的资源造成压力，那么他们应该付出代价是合理的。”，开头“if”表明这句是条件状语从句，紧接着“which might cause stress on the university’s resources”是非限制性定语从句，其中which代指前面的整个句子。然后由主句“ it will make sense that they should pay a price. ”可知其时态为将来时，根据“主将从现”这一规则可知从句时态为一般现在时。故填want。
Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. ___46___ Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. ___47___ It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
●___48___ Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your wellbeing.
●___49___ If you’ve been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives，we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
●You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.___50___ Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

１.此处是形容词最高级，故在of 后加the。
２. From是介词，后面是介词的宾语从句，引导词既其引导作用又在从句中做一成分，故把that---what。
３.现在分词做后置定语，故把live—living。
４. 这正在杀害生活在森林里的野生动物。所以有些事情一定要做。前后是一种因果或递进关系，而不是转折关系，故把But---So/And。
５.很遗憾，我们没有做任何保护森林的事情。故把everything---anything。
６.在一些国家。可知名词用复数形式，故把country---countries。
７.那就是对毁掉森林的人们应该发生的。ｓｈｏｕｌｄ＋动词原形，故把happened---happen。
８.固定搭配：ｃａｎ＇ｔ ｈｅｌｐ ｂｕｔ ｄｏ ｓｔｈ．故把but后的to去掉。
９.副词修饰整个句子，故把Hopeful---Hopefully。
１０.根据后面的thaｎ和ｅｖｅｎ修饰比较级，可知把much---more。
［名师点睛］
下面的词或词组可以放在比较级前面修饰比较级加强语气：much/even/a lot/a little/any/still/far/slightly/a great deal.比如 I felt much happier.我感觉幸福多了。比如第１０小题，根据后面的thaｎ和ｅｖｅｎ修饰比较级，可知把much---more。

Taking part in school activities
We had a heated discussion about whether senior high school students should take active part in school activities. As for school activities, students mainly hold two views.
Many students are very enthusiastic about school activities because they think that learning from textbooks is not their only task and they should take every chance to get some practical knowledge. Besides, after long hours’ study, they can relax themselves by practicing in school activities.
However , a large group of students take little interest in them and spend most of their time on study. They believe that they should make full use of time to study and that school activities have nothing to do with their further development.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer the first view. On the other hand,we can learn a great deal from other students we meet in activities. Furthermore, modern society requires many qualities of young students, so “book worms” can’t keep up with the times.
