When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving behind the plain (平常的) and cheap ones. You 48 want the best for yourselves, and that is exactly the source (根源) of your problems.”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and then began 49 each other’s cups.”
“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we 50 to enjoy the coffee. So don’t let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”

“No problem.” This phrase has almost replaced(代替) the 51 words “You’re welcome”. This situation 52 me.
Here’s what happens when I buy something:
“Thank you,” I say.
The shop staff says, “Here’s your change(零钱).”
The shop staff says, “No problem.”
Actually, it is really a(n) 53 . What I expect is “You ’re welcome”, and that means “You are welcome to 54 here and thanks for letting us help you.”
But when someone says “No problem”, what I hear in my head is “It’s no problem at all for you to go to another store next time. I’ve 55 you, so now get out of here”. “No problem” seems to say that you are really not “ 56 ” at all.
Maybe you're thinking Come on! It's just a popular expression. It doesn’t mean to 57 you. But that worries me even more, because it shows that people just aren’t listening to or 58 what others say. It’s a big problem.
'
Some people may say “No problem” is a phrase only for 59 people. But they’re wrong. Almost all age groups are using it. You can hear “No problem” everywhere you go.
So, next time you re about to say those unwelcome words, stop and think for a minute. Try, 60 , to be a little more polite and say “You ’re welcome”.
( )51. A. direct B. popular C. polite
( )52. A. excites B. worries C. interests
( )53. A. problem B. explanation C. expression
( )54. A. argue B. leave C. shop
( )55. A. heard from B. taken care of C. had conversations with
( )56. A. welcome B. friendly C. correct
( )57. A. punish B. hurt C. pardon
( )58. A. taking down B. ending up with C. paying attention to
( )59. A. young B. similar C. normal
( )60. A. at last B. at least C. at most

B
Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. It didn’t spread to Europe until the year 1100. And four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada Sweden, America, and Finland became the most important ones in paper making.
The common uses for paper include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? For example, in Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated (使绝缘) from heat or cold with paper.
However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in the world, which means that we are cutting down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.
As for this problem, we can do many things in daily life. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china or glass cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.
In short, we should keep a balance (平衡) between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
( )71. When did making paper from trees spread widely around the world?
A. 2,000 years ago. B. In 1100. C. After 1500.
( )72. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Paper is very popular in Finland.
B. Paper can be used in many ways.
C. Paper is widely used by farmers in Finland.
( )73. How many trees do we need to make one ton of paper?
A. About 48,000 trees. B. About 17. C. About 2,800.
( )74. What does the writer suggest doing in the fourth paragraph?
A. Saving as much paper as possible.
B. Buying fewer things made of paper.
C. Using other materials to make paper.
( )75. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. A German made the best paper in 1100.
B. We should plant more trees for making paper.
C. The writer is worried about paper waste.

Hugging is an extremely positive form of communication. It expresses the values of love, agreement, thanks and forgiveness（宽恕）. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug in different situations can make a world of difference in our young learner’s lives.
On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overcome “The First Day Fears”. By the way, giving hugs for the first full week wouldn’t hurt either. Hugs are both inexpensive and very healthy.
It’s the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident.
Usually, bedtime is the scariest time of the day for most kids, who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight（紧紧的）hug coupled with reading their favorite stories or singing their favorite songs may help them have a good sleep.
Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on eHow. com. “A caring and inspiring environment is always helpful in developing a child’s language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you.”
Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them. If there’s one thing your child or student may need from you to help adapt their behavior or improve their IQ, it may just be something as simple as a hug.
A positive hug could change the course of the day for you both when you least expect it. So, remember to hug your children often and put emotion behind it and really mean it!
