We can both watch!” Crissy suggested.That was not a bad idea, Brian thought. “OK. Ill leave a note inside so Mom and Dad know were on the deck. Go and get your sleeping bag.”When Crissy returned, she asked, “When will the stars come out?”“Soon. The Perseids come early in the morning.”They both soon fell asleep. Suddenly, Brian heard something moving on the other side of the deck. He tried to be very quiet so he would not frighten whatever it was. Carefully, he looked out of the sleeping bag and found there was a large black bear standing on his back legs. Crissy was awake too. “We have a visitor. Its a bear,” Brian tried to sound confident so Crissy wouldnt be frightened, but inside, he was very nervous.“Im scared,” Crissy said in a low voice.“Just dont move,” Brian warned.The bear was now eating the hamburgers they had placed on the deck earlier. Brian covered both of them with his sleeping bag. Crissy closed her eyes and held her breath. Brian tried to stay still.Minutes later, Crissy asked, “Is he gone?”Looking out of the sleeping bag again, Brian replied, “Yep. I guess he was just hungry.”“Well, Im just glad he liked our dinner and didnt eat ME!” Crissy laughed.Brian laughed too, “Nah! That bear just wanted some just food!”Crissy hugged her brother, and Brian hugged her back. Things didnt turn out so badly after all, he thought.“Look!” Brian said, pointing upward. Above their heads, the Perseids meteor shower had begun to move fast across the night sky like fireworks (煙花).21. When Crissy knew a bear was visiting their deck, she felt_. A. unhappy B. annoyed C. frightened D. confident22. What can we know about Brian from the passage? A. He knew a lot of things about the bear. B. He gave the bear some junk food to eat. C. He was a brave, calm and humorous boy. D. He woke up at night because he was hungry.23. What is the best title for the passage? A. Taking a mountain vacation B. Waiting for the Perseids C. Unusual sound at night D. Fireworks show BDear Editor, I have just returned home after studying for a year in Germany. But it seems that my parents dont understand me now. They expect me to be the same person I was before I went abroad, but Im not! Why cant they let me be myself? JimmyHi, Jimmy, As far as I know, people who have lived abroad often find that the adjustment (調整) to returning home is more difficult than their adjustment to living in a foreign culture. Why? We expect to have some problems when we go to a new place, speak a different language and learn the rules of a different culture . But home? . we know that place! Your parents expect that the same person who boarded the airplane one year ago will be returning. Especially if they have never been abroad themselves, your parents probably wont understand the changes that living abroad can cause in a person. On the other hand, you may have maintained (保持) an ideal mental image of your loved ones while abroad, an image that is broken into pieces when you return.Remember you have been living a different lifestyle in your host country, and you have probably become very independent while staying there alone. Now that youre home, you will be expected to conform (順應)again to the lifestyle of your family. As a result, you may be upset about your parents involvement in your life.Communication is the key to overcoming this problem. Tell your parents how you are feeling. Share with them information about cultural re-entry(重歸), and ask them to be patient. This does not mean that you have to forget your experience and give up everything youve learned! Learn to find a balance between the old and new, just as you did when first adjusting to your host countrys culture.24. What is Jimmys main purpose in writing the letter?A. To criticize his parents. B. To ask for advice about his studies.C. To complain about his parents. D. To ask for help.25. What does the editor think of Jimmys problem?A. Its unusual. B. Its normal. C. Its serious. D. Its interesting. 26. The editor thinks that both Jimmy and his parents _.A. have changed in the past year B. have unrealistic expectations of each otherC. need to behave like they did before D. need to find a balance between the good and bad27. The author suggests that _ would help solve Jimmys problem.A. patience and trust B. patience and politenessC. better communication between family members D. a deeper understanding of the host countrys cultureC Like people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success. Bad environmental conditions, such as drought, flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields(產量 ) more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate(忍受) environmental stress and maintain(保持) high yields（產量）, said Stephen Howell, a professor of genetics and cell biology. Plant cells produce proteins（蛋白質) and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded（合攏） into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded展開的 proteins. Then a built-in system senses this and “sets off an alarm in the cell,” said Howell. In response to the alarm警報, another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive. “As it turns out, responses that are activated（被激活的）under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants,” said Howell. “This allows them to reserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.” For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduces yields. “You dont want crop plants to stop growing,” Howell said. “You want them to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.” With the new understanding of this stress response, the next step may be to silence the alarm system, said Howell. “What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses. That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”28. According to the text, an alarm in the plant cells is caused by . A. the folded proteins B. the changed proteins C. the defensive measures D. the stress response genes29. The energy reserved in the plants under stress conditions . A. helps the plants to survive B. helps to maintain high yields C. keeps the plants growing D. helps to produce proteins30. The underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_. ”. A. prevent B. start C. continue D. help31. How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions? A. By making crop plants keep more energy. B. By making crop plants stop growing. C. By making the alarm system stop working. D. By making the alarm system respond quickly.D “Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy theyre given after all. Choices can be hard.” Jeff Bezos.I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and Id been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and I wasnt sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor. Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion. I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately (最后), I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing.And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.32.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. His dream of being an inventor.B. The support of his wife.C.
