Ray Travers sat back at the large desk, and looked around his plush(豪华的)office. He was tired
Ray's eyes stopped at a painting on the wall. It was a gift given by an old friend,Bull,as a farewell gift when he left his hometown He recalled the life spent in that small town; pleasant times. The many hours he spent talking to his good friend, and the tales he was told about hunting in the Africa of old.
Memories flowed back more than ten years; he remembered how he enjoyed hearing about the wonderful hunting,and how he wished he could have shared those times.
Ray opened his desk drawer and brought out a wooden box. He opened the lid and exposed a work of art,a hand-made hunting knife. This was a gift from Bull,given to Ray more than 20 years ago. It was one of the first knives Bull had made, and Ray had called it "Zambezi",the river where Bull had been so many times.
He closed the box and sat upright at his desk;he was driving himself hard, and deserved a break. Things were going well with the business,everything running smoothly. He could afford a week off!
He went back home. A week in the hometown would be like going back in history. "Man, it's going to be good,”Ray said aloud,as he turned onto the highway and watched the city lights fast disappearing,as he looked in the rearview mirror. The powerful car going its way through the night, headlights piercing(穿透)the darkness. Memories danced through the man's mind. Memories of good times,when he knew what it was to relax, to talk,and to really visit.

Writer and teacher Yin Jianli's stories and thoughts about bringing up her daughter
Yuanyuan have been a constant source of inspiration for parents over the past 16 years.
Her book, A Good Mother Exceeds Good Teachers, published by Writers Publishing House, has been a bestseller on Dangdang and Amazon's online platforms
for the past three years. The book helped Yin make the Chinese Writers' Rich List, with 4. 48 million yuan($710,000).
Experts say Yin's book provides practical guidance, which makes it popular among parents.
"When the majority of books are either full of bragging about(自吹自擂)the authors' children or outlining big theories that have no foundation in practice, I write books that are practical and easy to follow," Yin writes.
"For example, there was an occasion when Yuanyuan forgot to do her elementary school homework. In such a situation many Chinese parents show their anger and scold their kids,”says Yin, who made an agreement with her husband they would not overly criticize or push their daughter. Instead, Yin encouraged the daughter to make up the homework, which meant staying up until midnight. As a result, she learned to arrange her time better and did not have a harmful reaction to doing homework. Yin's principle of "no parental interference(干涉),and "giving children the opportunity to learn from their mistakes" is described in a number of real-life examples.
Readers say Yin's books improve their children's performance at school, and encourage them to develop good personalities and habits. They believe her books are not only about being good parents but also about growing as parents and individuals.
"When I'm reading books,I keep thinking about what a better personality I would have if my parents had adopted the methods Yin suggests when I was a kid,"one reader comments in a review on Yin's online blog.

It seems like every day there's some new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for us. One day, science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer. The next day, maybe not. It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee. Now there's been a lot of research into whether coffee's good for our health "the results have really been mixed",admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently. "There's been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there's also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as well".
Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health. They analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 70 participating in the study. "We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non-drinkers, he said. Here's what he means by "modestly": those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study when the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease, lung disease injuries, accidents and infections.
Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesn't prove coffee can make people live longer .A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation. And even if it turns out that coffee is really good for you, scientists have no idea why.
According to the first paragraph,reporters would like to know the research findings of_______.
A. tea | B. beer | C. coffee | D. wine |
According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Freedman and his colleagues hired 400,000 Americans to collect date. |

C. About 400, 000 Americans worked for Freedman's team for 13 years. |
D. People who are 50 to 70 years old seldom drink wffee. |
According to the author, scientists________.
A. have already proved that coffee is good for human health |
B. have a long way to go before they find a way to study coffee |
C. have avoided the cause-and-effect approach to study coffee |
D. are still unable to figure out why coffee is good for us |
Which of the following can be the best title?
A. The Magical Effects of Coffee |
B. Neal Freedman and His Research |
C. Can Coffee Help You Live Longer? |
D. A Cup of Coffee A Day Makes Diseases Away |

Stress is very common in all walks of life and in all fields of work.
It can be related to work, an unhappy marriage, money problems or a whole host of things that cause people to become very unhappy with their lives. People who suffer from this condition often cannot see anything good about their lives.________
Teen stress is one of the leading causes of suicide(自杀)among teenagers who are unable to cope with all the pressures that seem to come at them from all sides. Even a child as young as two or three years of age can feel stressed, when he/she is trying to
live up to the parents expectations of being a good boy or girl.
New research suggests that exercising as a way of stress management helps people to improve their minds as well as their bodies because they become fit, giving them a whole new feeling about themselves.
You have to think about what is causing you to become stressed and if it is possible to avoid these things. If you feel stressed because it seems that people are always taking up your private time, you need to learn to say "No" once in a while.________If your work stress is the cause of your illness and if you are experiencing problems with your heart,the doctor may need to send you for a stress test to determine whether or not there is a serious problem developing.
A.Using exercise as a form of stress relief has many benefits. |
B.You do need to talk to someone who can help, such as your doctor. |
C.As a result of that, people began to choose easy jobs. |
D.Doctors also have pressures from their tiring work. |
E. It can lead to suicide, heart attacks and cancer as research has shown.
F. School age children have pressures on them from schoolwork, parents and friends.
G. It is most dangerous because it can affect a person's health.

Dear Editor,
I'm a senior high student in a key school of Banding city. I'm fond of play basketball It is known by us that the college entrance examination is approaching and we should get good prepared for it. Thus I had no choice but play basketball just on holidays. However, I really hope to do it every day, and my parent insist that I give it up. They think learning is their first task and I should throw whole of myself into study. How do you think of it? Could you give me some advice on how to deal with the problem?
I am looking forward to your early reply.
