There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, \"What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely. \"
The rose proudly said, \"It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. \"Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, \"Look at that ugly plant full of thorns（刺）! \"
\"What a proud flower! \" thought the trees.
As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like \"This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor ! \"

Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn’t need to feel this way. Our experience of time can be possibly changed. By understanding the psychological(心理学的) processes behind our different experiences of time, we might be able to slow down time a little.
One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we’re exposed(接触) to new environments and experiences. The law is caused by the relationship between our
experience of time and the amount of information our minds process. The more information our minds take in, the slower time seems to pass.
It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up. How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.
Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand(增加) our experience of time.
Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.
To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time passing. It’s possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.
27. According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by . A. going to bed on time B. traveling to new places C. having dinner as usual D. printing the same materials 28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information. B. Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly. C. We can take in more information by living through our senses. D. We should build a stronger relationship between time and us. 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Slow Down Time B. Only Time Will Tell
C. Race Against Time D. Time Will Not Comc Twice 答案：27—29 BCA

Have you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression (印象)?” It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true --- the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.
What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated you name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.
So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and being well-dressed --- are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.
Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and
get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet --- and impress --- with a cheerful smile. 46. What does the underlined word “react” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese? A. 回应

49. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Friendliness helps solve problems. B. Being positive helps you find a way out. C. There are many reasons to be happy. D. Thinking of great people cheers you up. 50. What would be the best title for the text? A. The First Impression Does Count B. Smiling Makes the First Impression C. Manners Leave Deep Impressions

An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside river. They were disputing which was the better animal。
\"Look at my strength, \"said the elephant. \"I can pull up a tree, roots and all, with my trunk\" “Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine, \"replied the crocodile. \"No knife or tooth can cut through it.”
Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.
\"My dear friends !\" said the King of all animals, going up to them. \"Let me know the cause of your disagreement。”
“Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal? \"cried both at once.

They say that\"travel is the best teacher\"and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at anearly age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however. Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son,s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for
most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641. soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world. 31.

It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in 34. What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu xiake A. It was only made public after Xu died B.
