As soon as the man steps in this world， the first persons who he meets are his family members．
The first person is the mother who has taken great pain to bring him to this world． Then is the fathe who is always there to care for him． Then come the younger brothers or sisters．
The family is the first learning place for a person in this world． Starting from childhood until old age， he leans everything from his family． He sees his family members walking and starts trying that．He sees them speaking and he tries to copy them． Gradually， he learns the basic communication among the family members． He also learns how to love， how to behave， how to come along in life， all from his family． This develops a kind of close relationship among all family members． They are always there to help each other．
The family works like a chain． Younger people learn from elders while elders depend on their kids for a lot of things．When kids grow up， get married and have their own children， the whole cycle（循环） is repeated again． Family members will always rescue you whenever you need them．
They always support you in different ways． You can always share your problems with your family and find a better way to solve your problems after a discussion in the house． Considering all these， we can say， family is one of the greatest gifts of nature to us．

The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.
Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.
"Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing," she said as she gave each student a short rope, "Ready, set. Go!"
Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quietly to herself.
After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, "Go, Millie, go!"

Sometimes, you feel down or unhappy and it is hard to come back to your high spirit. So if you're having a bad day and need a boost，then help is just a click away.
A website is trying to offer people positive(积极的)messages from strangers to cheer them up. It announces to be“the nicest place on the Internet"，where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits.
The website, thenicestplaceontheinter.net, lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors' spirits.
The website was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low. The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days.
"We tried to become cheerful，but none of the usual methods seemed to be working. Not music. Not food. What we hoped was something positive, honest and good.So with only a camera and work-free weekend, we created‘The Nicest Place On The Internet," he explained on his website.
One user of the site, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said,“it's a fun and exciting website. I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family. I think it could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad. It may even stop them from doing something stupid. You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series. It's very easy to share the love.”
Mr. Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers. The idea is that strangers send an audio(声音)diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it.
The underlined word "boost" in paragraph 1 probably means
| A．鼓舞 | B．放松 | C．休闲 | D．提高 |
The website was created in order to_______
| A．provide a place for those who want to post their videos |
| B．discover something positive, honest and good |
| C．recommend positive voicemails on the website to people |
| D．offer something positive to cheer people up |
According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
| A．Jeff Lam is working on a new project to collect more audio diaries. |
| B．Jeff Lam met a lot of difficulties during the time of creating the website. |
| C．Joseph Meehan has got help from the website and supports it. |
| D．Joseph Meehan has shared his own positive videos with strangers. |

We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.
Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average（平均）, three years longer than the non-runners.

There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.
⊙Take good notes.
Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes.

Teaching is one of the most rewarding（有回报的） jobs. It is also one of the most stressful. If you want to be a teacher, you should have a passion（激情） for young people. If you are thinking about going into teaching for any other reason than this, you need to find another job.
Teaching is difficult. Students can be difficult. Parents can be difficult. If you do not have a passion for the young people that you teach, you will burn out quickly. Passion is what keeps an excellent teacher going. When students have trouble understanding what is taught, it is what drives him to spend long hours trying to think out how to help them. If you do not have enough passion for your students, you might last a year or two, but not long. Passion is a must-have quality（品质） for every good teacher.
Teaching can be rewarding, but you shouldn’t expect that reward to come easily. Teachers who search out better and new methods are the ones who will make it. A good teacher needs to be able to work with everyone. All teachers face stress. It is important to be able to deal with everything that is thrown at you when you walk through your classroom doors. There are so many chances for stress within a classroom that an excellent teacher has to be able to bring it in control. If you cannot manage stress quite well, then teaching may not be the right job for you.According to the passage, if you want to be a teacher, ____________.
| A．you’d better ask the writer for advice |

Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe(低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.
More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, people who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined (罚款). Car drivers and motorcyclists who break the traffic rule will be fined NT$3,000 and NT$1,000 respectively(分别地).
As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Also, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let’s have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home.
As a result, he knocked into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone，he was so afraid that he turned around and ran away quickly. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.
Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be “healthy” users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.
