Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all. I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle（哈哈笑）escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me. Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne（科隆香水）I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”. For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again. It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity（成熟） doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes. Ian has been with me since I was six years old holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself. 1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A．Bedtime used to be the writer’s favourite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey. B. Uncle Ian liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer. C. The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went. D. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Ian. 2. The writer loved Monkey Ian deeply because __________. A. he could understand her B. he was a fashionable monkey C. he could talk with her D. he was her most honest listener 3. We can learn from the text that the writer believes ________. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 A. keeping stuffed animals is babyish B. maturity doesn’t mean growing up and taking on more responsibility C. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up D. human beings should be kind to animals 4. We can infer from the text that _________. A. the writer is still a teenager B. the writer is now a middle-aged woman C. Monkey Ian got angry for being left alone D．Uncle Ian has a monkey-like face 1、答案解析：答案为 B。本题为细节推理题。由第一段 “…bedtime was always my favourite part of the day. ..my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.”可知，A 选项正确。由第四段首句 “For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me.” 可知，C 选项正确。由倒数第二段首句 “It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian.” 可知，D 选项正确。 结合第二段和该段的 “His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle escaped his lips.

Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found.The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed.Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year—as many as one in three don’t—to get the benefits. The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period.The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non－ holidaymakers deteriorated_by 14 percent. The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress－known as the stress －resilience test－improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.

What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero, 24, has only one leg. When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey’s Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated(截) below the knee. Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero, who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, “The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3”, explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢)，he explains. The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a “stubborn” patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor. “It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, ‘You know what? I need to pick up right there I left off and continue my career,’” Ruggiero said. Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. “Tap dancers — they’re always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument,” he said. Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he won’t shy away from the physical “weakness” his performance shows because of his condition. “A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, ‘You’re such a role model and an inspiration,’ ”he said. “I’m honored when people say that, of course, but I’m just trying 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 to get on with my life.” 1.What makes Ruggiero’s new show unusual?

Ruggiero is a tough person with a strong will B. the setback has ended Ruggiero’s dance career C. Ruggiero is dancing relying on others’ support D. his doctor agreed he kept on dancing and studying 3. When audience attend his performance, they may notice ______. A.

Route 66 is home to some of the oldest and most known attractions of them all. Here are four attractions you should see along the Mother Road: 1. Paul Bunyan and a Hot Dog Route 66 travelers pass by many fiberglass giants(巨人) right along the road. These giants were a popular form of advertising in the 1960s. Many of them stood in front of service stations. They 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 held car parts, such as mufflers. The collection of Route 66 giants became known as “Muffler Men”. Businesses hoped the strange statues would get travelers’ attention. The first fiberglass giant was a “Paul Bunyan” figure, built in the early 1960s. It is said that Paul Bunyan is a famous wood worker. 2. Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica Ray Crown Candy Kitchen has been serving Route 66 travelers from the very beginning. It is just a few short blocks from the 66 path through St. Louis, Missouri. The family-run soda fountain shop opened more than 100 years ago, and has been making candies and meals ever since. On weekends, people sometimes wait in line for a table at Crown Candy for over an hour. Luckily there is free entertainment right outside. Jamaica Ray, a local folk artist, creates unusual sculptures. 3. The World's Largest Rocking Chair Fanning, Missouri, is home to one of the strangest Route 66 attractions. Just off the road sits an almost 13-meter-tall rocking chair. The structure was completed in 2008 on the first of April, or April Fool’s Day. At one time the chair actually rocked. But officials decided it had to be still to be safe for ever. People are not permitted to climb the chair. We think, however, that it probably happens once in a while when no one is watching. 4. Big Texan's Steak Challenge Few places better represent the common expression “Everything’s Bigger in Texas” than the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Since 1960, it has appealed to travelers with big appetites -- and a big love of beef. It is hard to miss the huge yellow restaurant -- or the giant cow statue that sits out front. The cow advertises Big Texan’s special deal, and what has made this steak ranch famous: a “free” 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 72-ounce(英两) or 2 kilogram -- steak. There is one trick: the steak is only free if you can eat the entire thing in one hour. A special table is in the middle of the restaurant for the daring diners who accept the challenge. Since 1990, more than 9,000 diners have eaten the entire 2-kilogram steak. 1、What was considered as “Muffler Men”? A. Hot Dog B. Jamaica Ray C. Car parts D. Paul Bunyan 2、Where will you maybe wait in line on weekends? A. Paul Bunyan and a Hot Dog B. Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica Ray C. The World's Largest Rocking Chair D. Big Texan's Steak Challenge 3、If you visit The World's Largest Rocking Chair, you have to _______. A. get there in April B. climb up and rock it C. see it 13 meters away D. travel to Fanning, Missouri 4、What is Big Texan's Steak Challenge? A. The giant cow statue sits out of the huge ranch. B. Diners eat up the entire 72-ounce or 2-kilogram steak. C. The Big Texan Steak Ranch is the biggest restaurant in Texas. D. The daring diners sit around at a special table in the restaurant. 参考答案 1—4、DBDB
