One of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢復(fù)) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don’t break!
1.What does the word “snap” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A. break B. change
C. win D. Complain
2.What can help people get through sufferings according to the writer?
A. Holding peace and quiet in mind. B. Waiting until sufferings disappear.
C. Experiencing more bad times. D. Hoping for a better tomorrow.
3.What would be the best title of this passage?
A. Memories of Bamboo B. Be Like Bamboo
C. Enjoying Bamboo D. Characteristics of Bamboo
1.A
2.D
3.B
【解析】短文大意: 這篇短文主要是以竹子為例,告訴我們在挫折面前要有韌性,不要輕易的折斷.
1.聯(lián)系前一句the ability to readily recover(恢復(fù)) from shock, sadness or any other suffering.從打擊,傷心和其它困難中恢復(fù)的能力,及下一句at your breaking point?處于爆發(fā)點(diǎn),可知這句話指代的是感覺想要爆發(fā)的意思,故選A,爆發(fā).
2.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering.描述,可知對明天懷有更美好的期望有助于讀過苦難.故選D.
3.這篇短文主要是以竹子為例,告訴我們在挫折面前要有韌性,不要輕易的折斷.故選B,像竹子一樣.

Sugar—free beets（甜菜）that still taste sweet, tastier tomatoes and brighter-colored fruits and vegetables that stay ripe（熟的）longer are all foods that are being grown now. How can they
carry traits, such as being tastier, brighter, and riper? They are genetically engineered.
Genetic engineering（基因工程）is like making a change in a recipe. For example, when you make cakes, you mix together all of the usual ingredients. If you add an extra ingredient, like salt, the cakes will taste differently.
Genes are ingredients in the recipe for life. They carry the traits of living things. Your genes dictate what color hair and eyes you’ll have, how tall you’ll be, as well as many other traits. Genes carry traits for plants, too. By adding genes to a plant, you can sometimes create new traits. For example, adding a certain gene to a potato plant can make the potato plant distasteful to bugs（蟲子）. This makes some farmers happy because they don’t have to use chemicals to keep bugs away from their plants.
It sounds great, but some people are opposed to the idea of food that is genetically engineered. Ronnie Cummins, from the Campaign for Food Safety, is against it. He says that one of the major concerns is allergies（過敏）. Supermarkets don’t always label foods that are genetically engineered. A customer could unknowingly buy food that has an added gene from another plant that he or she is allergic to. It could be dangerous.
Gary Burton from Monsanto, a seed（種子）company that engineers food, disagrees. He says his company tests for allergies. Burton believes that genetic engineering is a valuable tool for making better food. The technology can help farmers use less insecticide（殺蟲劑）and grow healthier crops. Burton thinks there are many advantages.
But Cummins says that we just don’t know what will happen in the future if we keep adding genes to foods. We could mistakenly create a monster.
People have different opinions about genetic engineering. One side supports it and thinks it will only help us. The other side is opposed to playing with nature and fears health risks. Which side do you think is right?
【小題1】What could be a good thing about food that is genetically engineered?
| A．It’s more expensive. |
| B．It could taste different. |
| C．It requires less insecticide. |
| D．It’s not labeled in the supermarket. |
| A．People from seed companies. |
| B．Farmers who use engineered seeds. |
| C．People from the Campaign for Food Safety. |
| D．Scientists who create genetically engineered food. |
| A．growing genetic foods will make farmers richer |
| B．people will eat more genetic foods in the future |
| C．using fewer chemicals could make the food tastier |
| D．there could be unknown dangers about genetic foods |
| A．Future Farming |
| B．Genetic Engineering |
| C．Foods with a Difference |
| D．Genetically Engineered Fruits |

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行證) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.
??? It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (裝飾物) shining against the green of a pine.
??? “Where did it come from？” I asked.
??? “I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”
??? The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (難看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.
??? “It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”
