A
The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.
“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.
Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.
“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.
Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”
“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble ” she asked.
“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.
Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr ”
The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”
In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.
His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.
This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.

C．wanted his mother to be happy
D．felt guilty and regretful for his deed
B
A new study suggests that identical twins are not exactly the same genetically. Identical twins are two babies that come from the same fertilized egg (受精卵). Scientists in Iceland examined DNA from 387 pairs of identical twins, their parents, children, husbands or wives. “The examinations led the team to find early mutations (突变) that separate identical twins,” lead researcher and geneticist Kari Stefansson said. He is a professor at the University of Iceland and founder of the company deCODE genetics.
Mutations are small changes in DNA that can happen when a cell divides in an attempt to copy itself. These small changes can influence a person’s physical appearance or control a person’s ability to fight a disease. The newly-discovered mutations show that identical twins do have genetic differences, the researchers said. The results were recently published in Nature Genetics.
On average, identical twins have 5.2 of these early genetic differences, the researchers found. But about 15 percent of identical twin pairs have more than that. Some may have as many as 100 genetic differences, Stefansson said. These differences represent a small part of each twin’s genetic material. But they could influence why one twin is taller or why one is at greater risk of some cancers than the other.
In the past, many researchers believed physical differences seen in identical twins were related mostly to environmental influences, such as nutrition or lifestyle behaviors. Jan Dumanski is a geneticist at Sweden’s Uppsala University. He was not involved in the study. He praised the findings as a clear and important contribution to medical research. “It suggests we have to be very careful when we are using twins as a model for examining the influences of genetics or the environment,” Dumanski said.
A 2008 paper in The American Journal of Human Genetics found some genetic differences between identical twins. The new study, however, goes beyond earlier work by including the DNA of parents, children, husbands and wives of identical twins. Studying family members permitted the researchers to examine when genetic mutations happened in two different kinds of cells: those present in only one individual and those passed on to the person’s children.
Stefansson said his team found twins where a mutation is present in all cells of the body of one twin, but not in the other twin at all. “However, sometimes the second twin may show the mutation in some cells, but not all cells,” he added. The researchers said they also found mutations that came about before the developing embryo (胚胎) split in two.
Nancy Segal is a psychologist who studies twins at California State University, Fullerton. She was not involved in the study. But she called the result “heroic and really significant”. Segal added that the research is likely to persuade more scientists to rethink the influences of genetics and environment on twins. “Twins are very alike, but it is not a perfect similarity,” she said.
6. What did the examinations of identical twins lead researchers to find
A．A cell changes a lot in an attempt to copy itself.
B．Genetic mutations exist in identical twins very early.
C．Mutations can influence a person’s physical appearance.
D．It is possible to control a person’s ability to fight a disease.
7. What might the new research tell people
A．Doctors should use different ways to deal with twin patients.
B．It is no use carefully examining the genetics of identical twins.
C．There may be some better methods to distinguish identical twins.
D．It is not just the environment that makes identical twins different.
8. What does Nancy Segal think of the new finding
A．She thinks it is the perfect finding.
B．She thinks it deserves rethinking.
C．She thinks it is confusing to others.
D．She thinks it is meaningful and important.
9. What is the best title for this passage
A．Studies Have Found Ways to Influence Twins
B．There Are Differences Between Identical Twins
C．Identical Twins Are Not Genetically Exact Copies
D．Identical Twins Come from the Same Fertilized Egg

If you love beautiful scenery, then head for the national parks and monuments of Utah. Begin your trip in Arches National Park. Depicted (描绘) as a wonderland, Arches has more than 2,000 natural stone arches, the world’s largest concentration. If you’d like a challenge, try the Fiery Furnace hike. You must go with a park guide as the hike is a labyrinth (迷宫), with narrow rocks above drop-offs along with gaps to pull yourself up and through.
Not far from Arches lies Canyon lands National Park. The most accessible area of the park is the Island in the Sky, a huge mesa (台地). Take the drive around the edge to get an amazing view of the surrounding area. From Grand View Point, you can take an easy two-mile hike that follows the edge of the mesa. It crosses a narrow point of land arriving at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the world.
Farther to the north is Dinosaur National Monument. Your first stop here should be the Quarry Exhibit Hall, where you can see a natural stone wall containing about 1,500 bones from dinosaurs that once walked in this region. After that, hike one of the park’s many trails. Along some of them, you can see petroglyphs (岩画). These are designs and images that were carved into the stone walls by the Freemont people, who lived in this area from around 200 A.D. to 1300 A.D. If you wish to camp, stay overnight in the Split Mountain campground. During the evening, attend one of the night sky programs that are held after dark in the camping area.

There are human angels that appear in my life for small incidents that leave a lasting memory in my mind. One of them was a durian(榴莲)seller in a local supermarket. I couldn’t even remember how he looked like and I didn’t even know his name.
I started part-time work after junior college. I was paid a small sum of $5 an hour as a part time fashion assistant. Having earned the money the hard way, I definitely learned to treasure every cent.
On Father’s Day, I decided to buy some durian for my father. I went to the local supermarket and looked around at the durian seller’s booth(小隔间)to pick a few packets of durian within my limited budget(预算). I focused all my attention on the cheapest range, which cost $5 a packet, equal to one hour of work standing around as a part-time fashion assistant. I wanted to get 3 packets for my family.
The durian seller appeared and asked me what I wanted. I told him that I would like to get 3 boxes of $5 durian for my father on this special day. He asked me to consider the more expensive choices. I told him I couldn’t afford them. I was ready to pick 3 boxes of $5 durian. The durian seller told me he would sell the durians to me at a discounted price. He took out his marker, adjusted the price, passed me 3 boxes and wished me well. My mind went blank, as I paid only $15 for 3 boxes of durian originally priced at $8 each. Many years later, I still remember his kindness.
13. How did the author earn his money

Steps to communicate with your parents
You might find that as you become a young adult, you begin to have more conflicts with your parents. 　17　. Parents also struggle to know when to support them and when to intervene(干涉) in what they think are bad choices. The following steps will help you start conversations with your parents smoothly.
· 　18　. In order to get your point across, you have to know what that point is. Spend some time reflecting on what you hope to change as a result of the conversation. If you think you'll have trouble remembering your points, write down the goals that you hope to achieve with the conversation.
·Choose the right place. The place you choose can change the conversation dramatically. For example, if you bring it up at your parent's office, they are likely to be rushed. They also might feel as though they have to rule with an iron fist to avoid their coworkers thinking they are too soft on you. 　19　. This can be in your home, in the car, or even on a walk together.
·Set a date. Fix some time to have this conversation. Tell your parents that you need to spend some quality time with them, and plan on doing that after dinner one night. Setting a time will ensure that both sides are prepared to be in the same place talking at the same time. 　20　.
·Keep the situation calm. 　21　. Keeping yourself as calm as possible is important. If your parents are having a hard time staying calm, take a break or just finish the talk on another day. For example, if your parents don't agree to let you stay out later, do not yell. Instead, try something like, “I feel that I am mature enough to be out until 10:00, and I hope you'll give it some more thought.”
Once you start the conversation at the right time and in the right place, you can bring up your main points. Then you are willing to share ideas and listen to each other.
A．Communicate clearly with your parents
B．Know what you want from the conversation
C．Try to talk to your parents in a calm, relatively private place
D．Feelings are likely to become worse during this conversation
E．They are less likely to listen to you or think about what you are saying
F．Most kids feel misunderstood by their parents at some point or another in life
G．This works better than just asking your parents a lot of questions when they walk in the door

By late afternoon, the bar was raised to 2.07 metres. An expectant buzz (嗡嗡声) spread through the stands and over the field in the still summer air. Duncan and Bob, two friends, would go head-to-head for the gold.
With all eyes on the high jump, officials quickly called a stop to competitions elsewhere in the stadium. An attentive crowd tensed for the final showdown.
Bob had proved himself the better jumper. He would plant the foot closest to the bar as he reached his take-off point, and then kick up hard with the other to lift his hips, which was at the heart of a successful jump. But as that long afternoon wore on, as the two threw themselves over the bar again and again, Duncan found himself with an unexpected advantage over his friend. As a teenager, he’d helped his father, a civil engineer. Dragging all equipment over mountain ridges and down into valleys had been ideal training for a high jumper, adding to his stamina (耐力) and strengthening his legs.
It was nearly six o’clock, and the two had been jumping for more than three hours — Duncan from the right side, Bob from the left. Both were succeeding on some tries and missing others, but never in a chain that would make one or the other the winner.
Relaxed and loose, unaware of roars of the huge crowd, the two were feeling less and less like rivals (对手) in an intense match and more like friends at a daily practice session.
As time went on, however, both jumpers seemed to be tired from the prolonged competition. Bob, long accustomed to watching his friend with a critical eye, discovered that Duncan hadn’t been conscious of the problem with his kick.

Labor Shapes Us
Last week, I took part in a volunteer activity of helping out in the school canteen. I arrived early to clean tables, sort tableware and serve meals for my schoolmates. Though the work was simple, I kept working carefully throughout the activity.
This labor experience left me a deep impression. I realized ordinary labor is never easy and every worker deserves respect. Besides, labor teaches me to be responsible and grateful. It is labor that shapes my good qualities and helps me grow.
六、读后续写 参考范文
As Duncan readied himself for another try, Bob walked over to him. He told Duncan gently that his kicking posture was flawed. Tiredness made Duncan fail to kick powerfully and adjust his pace properly, which caused his repeated misses. Bob patiently showed him the correct skills and reminded him to steady his breath and focus on his take-off. Duncan listened carefully and adjusted his state of mind immediately.
It was Bob’s last-minute advice that had helped him win. With the correct posture, Duncan took a deep breath, sprinted forward and jumped perfectly. He crossed the bar smoothly without touching it. The whole crowd burst into loud cheers. Though they were competitors, Bob sincerely celebrated his victory. This unforgettable competition taught them that true sportsmanship lies in friendship, mutual help and progress together rather than just winning a gold medal.
