A
I
was jumping so high that I could see out of the
window and right over the school
gym.
My
dancing
teacher,
Miss
Debbie
kept
saying
to
me,
“
Don
’
t
jump
high,
Billy.
You
must
control
your
body.
You
’
re
not
concentrating!
”
Well,
I
was
concentrating.
I
was
concentrating on getting
up high. It just made me feel so good, floating up
over the heads of
those little girls. I
could do all the dance steps perfectly. The
teacher said I had great talent.
She
spent half the lesson just teaching me and the
girl in the class were always complaining
about
it.
“
When
’
s
it
our
turn,
Miss
?
It
’
s
not
fair,
Miss!
??
just
because
he
is
a
boy,
Miss.
??
I loved dancing. I look
forward to the Saturday dance lesson all week.
Once I started, I
could just go on
forever. It was right, what Miss Debbie said about
stamina(
耐力
).
It
may
3
look easy, but
it
’
s not.
It
’
s hard. But I got so fit
that I became a better football played and
runner. I could keep going on for
hours.
I must have been mad. My friend
Michael kept warning me,
“
He
’
ll
find out. What are
you
going
to
do then?
”
I
knew he was right,
but
I
kept
thinking, just this
week, just one
more dance lesson, then
I
’
ll go back to
the boxing.
But
I
got
more and
more
into it, and
better and better at it,
and Dad didn
’
t come to watch
me at boxing practice anymore, so I
thought he
wouldn
’
t find out.
Then, one Saturday during
my lesson, disaster struck. As I was practicing my
dance
steps with Miss Debbie, I looked
up and there was my dad standing at the door. I
thought I
was going to die. Miss Debbie
saw that I had stopped and was frozen to the floor
in terror.
“
What
’
s wrong?
”
she
said. Then the music stopped and she turned round
and saw Dad.
“
You!
Out! Now!
”
he
snapped.
26. Why did the teacher spend
half the lesson just teaching Billy?
A. Because he was envied by the other
students.
B. Because he
had difficulty in concentrating..
C. Because he was the only boy in the
class.

had a great gift for dancing.

it

B. dancing
C.
concentration
D.
football
28. What lesson was Billy
supposed to have on Saturdays?
A. Boxing
B. Running
C.
Dancing
D.
Football
29. What can we infer about

’
s father from the
passage?
A. He thought
Miss Debbie was too strict with his son.
B. He usually accompanied
Billy on his weekend activities.
C. He wanted Billy become a

father would find out his secret.

B
Scientist
predict
that
one
of
the
world
’
s
coldest
countries
could
be
covered
by
thick
forests
instead of frozen ice sheets by the end
of the century, as climate change brings about the
“
greening of
Gree
nland
”
.
Today only four types of
trees grow on the island, limited to small areas
in the south. More than
three-quarters
of Greenland is covered by ice.
But
by
the
year
2100,
“
Greenland
could
become
a
lot
greener,
”
says
Professor
Smith
from
Aarhus
University Denmark.
“
Pine
tree forests like those in Alaska and Canada will
be able to spread
over most of
Greenland. And it will provide new opportunities
for local people.
”
The
research
published
in
the
journal
Biological
Science
shows
that,
with
expected
levels
of
warming,
many
of
North
American
and
European
trees
and
bushes
will
be
able
to
thrive
in
now
ice-covered areas of
central and northern Greenland. The speed of
forest growth will increase as the
planet warms and new trees could cover
more than 400,000 square kilometers-an area almost
the size
of Sweden-by the end of the
century.
The
change
is
likely
to
alter
Greenland
’
s
environment
greatly,
lading
to
the
loss
of
Arctic
animals and plants.
On
the
other
hand,
there
could
be
significant
commercial
benefits
for
farming
and
tourism.
Humans could play
an active role in the greening of Greenland by
helping to spread new plant types,
says
Prof Smith.
“
People
love
growing
plants,
whether
for
food
or
beauty;
it
’
s
human
nature,
”
he
says.
“
This
could help
plant life throughout Greenland more quickly. This
certainly has positive aspects for local
industry and the
economy.
”
However,
Prof
Smith
warns
that,
besides
all
these
benefits,
there
are
also
risks
involved
in
introducing new plants and animals.
“
If it is not done
carefully, the new life forms could spread in an
uncontrolled way as no animals or
competing plants have evolved to keep their spread
in check.
”
31.
According to the passage, in what direction is the
“
greening of
Greenland
”
most like to
occur?
5
32. The underline word
“
thrive
”
in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. an organization involved
in the project
B. a new South
American author
C.
an independent bookstore
D.
an area of Buenos Aires
33.
Which
of
the
following
is
mentioned
as
a
likely
result
of
the
“
greening
of
Greenland
”
?
A. Fewer people will be
able to live there.
B.
There will be more Arctic animals living there.
C. The local tree types
will die out at a high speed.
D. New forests about the size of Sweden
will appear.
34. Prof
Smith
’
s attitude towards the
expected changes in
Greenland
’
s environment can
be described as ________.
A. positive
B. negative
C. objective
D.
disappointed
35. What is the author's
attitude towards this new kind of book?
A. the effect of global
warming on Greenland
B. ways people
can expand Greenland
’
s
forest
C.
the promotion of tourism in Greenland
D. the arctic wildlife living in
Greenland

Anger is not wrong. I know this
statement seems shocking and challenges the widely
popular
“
Positive
Thinking
”
movement, which
encourages us to
“
be full of
positive energy
”
and
“
let go of
our anger.
”
However, the
truth is that anger is just an emotion, and
emotions
are neither right nor wrong.
We doo not consciously choose them. We do, on the
other hand,
choose
how
we
express
our
emotions
and
there
are
definitely
right
and
wrong
means
of
expression.
The reason we
’
re
often urged to
“
keep a lid
on
”
our anger is that few
people ever learn
proper and positive
ways to express anger. Instead, we are taught that
“
anger is
wrong
”
and
“
you
should
keep
your
anger
inside
”
.
But
these
messages
don
’
t
change
the
fact
that,
for
most of
us, anger exists.
Many
popular
“
Positive
Thinking
”
programmes
assume
that
success
comes
from
