(A)
A Good Heart to Lean on
When I was growing up, I was unhappy to be seen with my father. He was disabled and quite short. He used to walk together with me and his hand was on my arm for balance. At this time, people would look at us strangely. I was afraid to look at others but he never cares.
— his slow, mine impatient. But each time, he always said, “You set the pace, I'll follow you.”
He never talked about himself as a disabled man and nor did he envy other people’s good fortune or health. What he looked for in others was a “good heart” — a good heart in man.
Now that I am older, I believe that is a right standard to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times when I don’t have it. Unable to take part in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When I played ball, he “played” it too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. He often introduced me, saying “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this if things had been different.”
He has been gone many years, but I am so sorry for my unwillingness to walk with him. I never told him how I regretted it. I think of him often when I complain about small affairs and when I don’t have a “good heart ”. At such times, I want to put my hand on his arm and say, “You set the pace, I'll try to follow you. ”

The secret of carrier pigeons' unbelievable ability to find their way home has been discovered by
Scientists at Oxford University spent 10 years studying homing pigeons using global positioning satellite (GPS) and got a surprising result. The birds often don't use the sun to decide their directions. Instead, they fly along motorways, turn at crossings and even go around roundabouts (绕道) , adding miles to their journeys.
“It really has knocked our research team sideways to find that after a decade-long international study, pigeons appear to ignore their inbuilt directional instincts (本能) and follow the road system,” said Prof Tim Guilford, reader in animal behavior at Oxford University's Department of Zoology. Guilford said pigeons use their own navigational system (导航系统) when doing long distance trips or when a bird does a journey for the first time.
“But once homing pigeons have flown a journey more than once, they can fly home on a habitual route, much as we do when we are driving or walking home from work,” said Guilford.
“In short, it looks like it is mentally easier for a bird to fly down a road. They are just making their journeys as simple as possible.” 8. What would be the best title of the passage? A. Birds Follow Roads as We Do. B. Why Pigeons Can Fly Long Distance? C. How Pigeons Find Their Ways Home? D. Why Crows Fly the Shortest Distance?
9. What does the underlined words "the feathered navigators" refer to? A. The pigeons. B. The crows. C. Dogs.
D. Animals that can swim.
10. Scientists used to think that homing pigeons often find their directions _______. A. by global positioning satellite B. by the sun
C. by the road system D. by following other birds
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. So what exactly do you know about anger? Some people express anger openly in a calm,
reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases some hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc.
So is there any solution? They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.
A. Thus, the person feels excited and ready to act.
B. Humor can help you deal with anger better and bring you laughter. C. Do not express your anger while angry.
D. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. E. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.

I drove away from home at 2:00 p.m. to meet my friend at the airport,
whose plane was arriving at 3:40 p.m. Unluckily, when I was on the way, I was caught in a sudden sandstorm. Since the visibility was decreased greatly, drivers couldn’t see the road clearly and I was stuck in a traffic jam on the ring road. I was very worried and twenty minutes later, the condition returned to normal and I hurried to the airport as soon as possible. At last, I arrived at the airport and picked up my friend.
