A
It's half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone
rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over
to a mirror and looked at himself.
“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn't ready
for Hollywood, but with his dark broad eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the
looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved in closer to the mirror and smiled, checking
his teeth.
“Perfect,” he thought, “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”
As his eyes moved down to his strong arms and chest he smiled again. The hours
he spent on the playground and doing sit-ups have paid off!
But suddenly, the smile froze(僵住)on his lips. His eyes moved from the upper
part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too
short for his body. He had the upper body of a six feet boy, but because of his legs,
he was much less than six feet. Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone in his class.
Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.
Why didn't his legs grow with the rest of his body? At five feet six inches(英
寸), he was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own
family, and he was even shorter than his little sister — by three inches! Where
did his legs come from?
He certainly didn't get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking
through old photos in the family album, he found the answer. It was his grandfather
on his mother's side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot,
Grandpa!

Habits and field paths(小径)are formed in the same way: by repetition. Villagers,
as a rule, do not purposefully make a foot path to the next village. They just go
the shortest or easiest way over the fields. Day after day a people go and come the
same way. Their feet beat the earth hard. By their repeated walking in the same
direction a path is made. Similarly, the more often we do anything in the same way
or at the same time, the more we shall do it that way. At last a habit is formed.
Usually it is much easier to form bad habits than good habits. The reason is
simple – we are just lazy. For example, it is easier to lie in bed on a cold morning
than to get up early. It is easier to put off today's duties to tomorrow than to
do them at the right time.
Bad habits are not formed in a day, and it is the same with good habits. The
forming of good habits needs time and calls for effort and hard work at first; but
every time we do the right thing, it makes doing the same thing next time much easier.
It's really hard to get up early on a cold winter morning for the first time. However,
if you keep doing it every day for some time, it will become “a piece of cake”
in the end. At last, we form the good habit ,which would be hard to break even if
we wanted to break it.
Get into the habit of early rising, and you will not want to lie in bed like
a lazybone. Get into the habit of telling the truth, and you will find it really
hard to tell a lie. Get into the habit of doing today's work today, and you will
feel uncomfortable if you have to put anything off till tomorrow.
11. Why is foot-path making mentioned repeatedly?
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To draw a picture of country life.
C. To ask people to go back to nature.
D. To compare habits with field paths.
12. What question is answered in Paragraph 2?
A. How are bad habits formed?
B. Why are good habits harder to form?
C. Why is it easier to develop bad habits?
D. How are bad habits different from good ones?
13. What's the most important to form good habits?
A. Getting up early on a cold winter morning.
B. Doing the right thing and making it easier.
C. Working hard first and taking it easy gradually.
D. Getting started and keeping doing it for some time.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Formed good habits are here to stay.
B. It is not right for anyone to tell a lie.
C. Lazybones have no future in their lives.
D. Never put things of today off to tomorrow.
15. What would be a good title for this passage?
A. How Habits Are Formed
B. How Habits Shape People's Life
C. Connections Between Habits and Paths
D. Differences Between Good and Bad Habits
D
A new kind of sea sponge(海绵) found in Norfolk, England, has been named by
a nine-year-old girl after a competition for local schools.
The unique purple sponge, which had never been seen in other parts of the world,
was first discovered by divers(潜水者) off the north Norfolk coast. Although found
in 2011, it had been without a name for almost ten years. In January this year, the
Marine Conservation Society (MCS)- a group of people who work to protect the UK's
seas and coast - asked local schoolchildren to come up with suggestions.
Now the sponge has a name to be proud of: parpal dumplin, as suggested by
nine-year-old Sylvie from Langham Village School. Sylvie said she came up with the
name because “the sponge is purple and it looks like a dumpling”. Parpal dumpling
is “purple dumpling” spoken in a Norfolk accent(口音). The judges all agreed that
Sylvie's suggestion should be the sponge's name because “the spelling gives the
sponge a strong connection to Norfolk”.
Sponges were once thought to be plants but they are actually simple sea animals.
They feed on tiny things in sea water and help to keep the water clean in the process.
Sponges have a very “lazy” lifestyle, with no means of moving themselves around.
They are found on the seabed, rocks or even shells. They come in all kinds of different
colours, shapes and sizes.
Parpal dumplin was first discovered in a place called the Cromer Shoal Chalk
Beds as part of a project called Seasearch. When diver Dawn Watson showed sponge
expert Claire Goodwin what she found, Goodwin was sure that it was a kind of sponge
unknown to science. Watson's discovery is a special sponge, which takes the shape
of whatever it covers. Parpal dumplin will now become its common name, and will be
used until researchers have learned enough about it to suggest an official scientific
one.
16. What does the underlined word “unique” probably mean?
A. strange and ugly
B. special and unusual
C. soft and beautiful
D. meaningful and important
17. Why was the name parpal dumplin chosen?
A. Because it sounds interesting.
B. Because Sylvie won the competition.
C. Because the sponge really looks like a purple dumpling.
D. Because its spelling is related to the place where it was found.
18. What can we learn about sponges from Paragraph 4?
A. They help clean up sea water.
B. They are of the same size.
C. They don't like moving around.
D. They are actually sea plants.
19. Which is true about parpal dumplin?
A. It has many colors.
B. It was found 20 years ago.
C. It has only one shape.
D. It was scientifically unknown before.
20. What do we know from the last sentence?
A. Parpal dumplin is a common sponge.
B. Parpal dumplin is the sponge's official name.
C. There's still a lot to be learned about parpal dumplin.
D. Researchers suggested an official name for the sponge.

Daisy was in the bathroom. She was brushing her teeth and the tap(水龙头) was
on. Water was running.
