On Joe's        evening at home, I bathed little Joey, got him into his sleeper and was heading to the bedroom when Joe gently touched          on the shoulder. Lifting the baby from my arms, he said he wanted to put Joey to bed tonight.
They headed down the hall, and I busied myself with meaningless tasks,       Joe to appear from the bedroom within a few minutes. A half hour went by, and still he had not come back.

Joey is six now, and he has a four-year-old brother named Jack. There have been many goodbyes since that night, yet my soldier still fights back tears when it's time to         once again in service to his country and give his boys that last, long hug（拥抱）goodbye.

“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shaking. Are you cold? Do you want a cup of hot tea?”
“I’m not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!”
“We are here to help you. Don’t worry about anything. I don’t know you. But I know many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(马车).”
“Why, yes. You’re right. But how do you know these things?”
“I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud(泥土) on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.”
“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather(继父), Dr Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a big old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mother’s money for expenses(开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.”
Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen’s story. He hears every detail.
Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.”
“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes.
“No. He talks to no one except the gypsies（吉普赛人）. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.”
“Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?”
“My dear Mr Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead. That is why I am standing here in this room.”

You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university(大学). A freshman is a first-year college student. “Fifteen” means fifteen pounds---the fifteen pounds added to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain(增加) weight; but it’s encouraging to know that freshmen don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.
Mistakes choosing food
University kitchens serve(供应) many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their patents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.
Eating right
If you’re careful, you don’t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas:
Think more about what you eat.
Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.
Don’t eat desserts full of sugar; have fruit after dinner.
Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.
It’s all right to have a little fast food sometimes---but not often.
Write down the foods you eat.
Walk, run, do sports---move and you will feel better!
Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.
The “freshman fifteen” is _______.

Which of these mistakes is not mentioned（提及）in the passage?

Which of these ideas would the writer probably agree with?

For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy.In fact, sunlight makes us feel good.When sunlight hits our skins,our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals(化学物质)which we all need to stay healthy.Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D.Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical.This special chemical affects our brains(大脑)and makes us feel happy.For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway,so many peple in these countries often feel sad.Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D.Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good.To help the people in these countries feel better,special “sunrooms”with artificial(人造的)lights have been built.People can go there and get “sunlight”for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect one’s emotions?

Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage?

What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

What may be the best title for this passage?
A. Why Do We Feel Sad?            
B. The Weather Influences People’s Emotions.
C. People Need More Vitamin D.      
D. We Can Hardly Change the Weather.

Life gets noisier every day and very f   people can be free from noise of some kind or another. W   you live in the centre of a modern city or a village far away, the chances that you will be disturbed by planes, cars, radios are almost everywhere. We seem to be used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely w   background music while they are working.
Tests have s    that total silence can be very frightening experiences. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very l  , and this can do harm to their ears. The noise level in some places is far above the usual s   level for heavy industrial（工业） areas.
One recent report about noise said that a    a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their attention, only a sudden c     in the level of noise really affects people’s attention. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much, may even help people to pay attention.
People are testing w    to make less noise. There are even laws controlling noise. We can’t r    to the “good old days” of peace and quiet, but we can make less noise if we shout loudly enough about it.
