I decided to go back to school in the fall of 2010 for not being happy with my current job and financial status. I got my Associate (大專(zhuān)畢業(yè)證書(shū)) in May 2002 in commercial art. After graduation, I had trouble getting a job in that field. For years, I was going from one job to another, and I was not satisfied with unstableness (不穩(wěn)定).
I decided to go back to school to study either international business or psychology (心理學(xué)). I weighed the pros and cons of both professions and psychology won. I like helping my friends and family. When they are faced with hard situations in their life, I’d like to give them sound advice and be honest with them. Also, I was interested in the “mind”.
I searched for online schools because my work schedule would not allow me to study in a classroom. I was nervous about taking online classes because I had heard mixed 
stories from my friends who were taking online classes. I decided to do it anyway to experience something different. I wanted to find an online school that was affordable and believable. While I was doing the online search, I discovered Walden University, which is specially for working adults who want to have a bachelor’s degree or higher. The process of getting accepted was easy, i.e. writing an essay on why I wanted to attend their school, sending my previous credits (以前的成績(jī)), etc.
I am currently enrolled in the bachelor’s program for psychology, and I am paying for college via financial-aid loans (貸款). This experience has been interesting and yet upsetting as sometimes it was difficult to balance work, school and home life. I have learned a lot about psychology and myself. For example, I like writing about current events, relationships and traveling. I thought my English composition was ordinary, but after taking a few classes at Walden University, I have improved my English composition and it has made me feel confident enough to start writing professionally. Now I am a freelancer (自由撰稿人) and I am only three classes away from getting my bachelor’s degree in psychology. It is one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
1.What did the author study in the first place when he was in college?
A. Psychology.
B. Commercial art.
C. International business.
D. English composition.
2. What does the underlined part “pros and cons” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Education of a university.
B. Suggestions and conditions.
C. Advantages and disadvantages.
D. Difficulty that may appear.
3.Why was the author nervous about taking online classes?
A. Some of his friends didn’t think highly of the classes.
B. He felt that he had not enough time to study.
C. The college entrance exam is very difficult.
D. He was afraid that he could not afford the online classes.
4.We can know from the passage that the author _____.
A. was unable to find a full-time job
B. is most interested in psychology
C. prefers to make a living by writing
D. paid his schooling by working hard

Whether you live in Seattle or the Sahara desert, the time has come to invest in a good raincoat or umbrella, a new study suggests.
As global temperatures continue to rise, more “extreme rain” events—intense, cats-and-dogs downpours—can be expected, said the study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. And that, scientists said, means an increased flood risk, particularly for the world’s driest areas. The study challenges the idea that global warming is causing dry areas to become drier and wet areas wetter.
“In both wet and dry regions, we see these great increases in heavy precipitation（冰雹）,” lead author Markus Donat, a climate scientist at the University of New South Wales, told Nature.
Donat and his team collected data from 1951 to 2010 on extreme precipitation events from 11, 000 weather stations around the world, Nature reported.
In that time, the number of days with “extreme precipitation” increased 1 percent to 2 percent per decade.
“We found a strong relationship between global warming and an increase in rainfall, particularly in areas outside of the tropics,” Donat said in a statement.
“Importantly, this research suggests we will see these extreme rainfall events increases at regional levels in dry areas, not just as an average across the globe,” Donat added.
Peter Stott, a senior climate scientist at Met Office, told Climate Central that the study’s findings are important, because more violent rainfall and flooding will “challenge our capability to adapt to a rapidly changing climate.”
As Nature reported, the research aligns（結(jié)盟）with a 2015 study that found global warming has led to a sharp increase in record-breaking precipitation events. Donat told Nature that his study should come as a warning to world governments.
1.Which of the following is one of the study’s findings?
A. Global warming is causing dry areas to become drier and wet areas wetter.
B. Extreme rain events can be expected at regional levels in dry areas.
C. Extreme rainfall events increase at regional levels in wet areas.
D. Rainfall increases particularly in the tropics areas.
2.Why does Scott think the findings are important?
A. The research aligns with a 2015 study.
B. They are about extreme precipitation events.
C. They remind us to adjust to rapid climate changes.
D. The study involves many famous climate scientists.
3.The purpose of the study is to ______.
A. encourage investors to start business in Seattle or the Sahara desert
B. persuade people to take a raincoat or an umbrella with them
C. challenge the previous findings of research on climate
D. warn world governments to focus on global warming

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our time together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
1. What does the author think of her father before her visit to Tucson?
A. He was silent most of the time.
B. He was too proud of himself.
C. He expected too much of her.
D. He did not love his children.
2. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel ____ .
A. tired B. nervous C. sorry D. Strict and hare-working.
3. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A. Gentle and friendly. B. More talkative.
C. More critical. D. Strict and hard-working.
4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to _____ .
A. the author’s son
B. the café owner
C. the friend of the author’s father
D. the author’s father

So much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read it. In this age there is more information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading.
The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Don’t say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.
The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface such as a table or a desk. Next, you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It is hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will help your understanding of the text.
You need something to guide your eyes while reading. You should use your finger. Move your finger smoothly across the page. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your finger as a guide. This will increase your speed.
The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you are reading.
1.From the first paragraph, we know that _______.
A. there is more limited information than ever before
B. conditions ask people to use less time to know more information
C. people can read what they like
D. the less you read, the more time you will spend
2.Which of the following shows the RIGHT time order for speed-reading according to the passage?
a. Ask for more technique.
b. Look at many words and recognize them.
c. Practise more.
A. c, a, b B. c, b, a C. b, a, c D. a, c, b
3.The underlined part “you should be focused” in the third paragraph means that .
A. a person should devote all his attention to reading
B. your feelings will be hurt while reading
C. a person should forget his difficulties while reading
D. you should pay attention to your faults while reading
4.To speed up your reading, you could .
A. use something to guide your eyes
B. say every word out loud
C. know it is necessary to read quickly
D. underline some important words while reading
