The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of
9、the wooden house. Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are. There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees. Our kids hav
10、e learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees. The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant tast
11、e, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that. The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars
12、（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring.

16、 To share the joy of living in the nature.BHave you ever lost your car on a parking lot? You dont have a clue where your car is after shopping. Then you start walking around clicking on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be annoying, especially on a hot sunny day.No, you neednt install(安装)
17、an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. Thats too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly fee to use it. But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based company has created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, which c
18、ould be exactly what youre looking for! What is it?Its called TrackR. It is a state-of-the-art tracking device the size of a coin. Its changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives. How does it work?Its easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to yo
19、ur device and youre ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less.You can attach it to your keys, briefcase, wallet, your latest tech gadgets and anything else you dont want to lose. Then use the TrackR app
20、to locate your missing item in seconds.If you forget where you have parked your car, pull out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “find device” button on the screen and the app will tell you the exact spot of the last known location of the TrackR.

21、evice is small and unnoticeable enough that you can attach it to your pet. Put it on their collar, and the issue of searching for them when they run away to nearby places will be over!

24、te your important things26. This passage is mainly developed by _.A. listing advantages B. providing statisticsC. answering questions D. making comparisons27. Where is this passage most likely taken from?A. A research report. B. A website. C. A personal blog. D. A journal. C Have you wondered why di
25、fferent animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves. Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts (蝗虫), but birds cant easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. Wh
26、en crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only a
27、t night. If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect them. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible(cant be seen) to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the bark（树皮
28、）of trees. An even stranger act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.28. Thi
29、s passage mainly talks about _. A. the change of colour in locusts B. animals or pests can dye（染色）themselves different colours C. how a certain sea fish protects itself D. the protective colour of animals and pests 29. Locusts are pests but they arent easily wiped out by their enemies because_. A. t
30、hey change colors with the cropsB. they are dangerous to their enemies C.they fly very fast D. they are powerful enough 30.

A. it is the most powerful in the sea B no other fishes can swim as fast as it can C. it can send out a kind of liquid
32、which makes its enemies unable to find it D. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies D Its rare that you see the words shyness and leader in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that t
33、hose shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shytheyre just better at adapting themselves to situational
34、 demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few innies.Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentiv
35、ely to what others say and absorb it before they speak. Theyre not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They are intrinsically（内在地） motivated and there
36、fore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect a
37、t little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence：they own the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty. Not to say that limelight-seekers arent modest, but shy people tend to h
38、ave an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, theyre more comfortable working with little information and st
39、icking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that arent primarily apparent. Dont believe me? Maybe youll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, Its not that Im so smart, its that I stay with problems longer. Obviously, finding certainty where uncerta
40、inty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.32. We can lea
41、rn from Paragraph 2 that _.A. shy people are sensitive to rewardsB. shy people care more about contentC. outgoing people are more careful about chancesD. outgoing people consider what to learn while listening33. The example of Johnny shows _.A. shy people are likely to be modestB. hardworking studen
