How green are you? A survey was made in Sunshine Middle School. Let’s have a look together.

Number of voters: 2800

First vote: Monday, 3 March 8:10

Last vote: Sunday, 7 July 21:03

“Mum, there’s something I have to tell you.” Ula’s eyes were wide with distress(苦恼)as she spoke to me.

“What is it, sweetie?” I reached over and pushed her hair behind her ear.

“I know we weren’t supposed to do it,” she began, before telling me she’d been playing with one of her friends.

The friend had wanted to practise the CPR(心肺复苏术)they had learned in swimming class on her.

Ula started to cry. “I told her I didn’t want to do it. But she really wanted to, and I didn’t want to make her mad.” I sent a note to the other girl’s parents so they could talk to their daughter.

But something Ula had said worried me. Ula knew that what the other kid wanted to do wasn’t right. But she didn’t stand up for herself, and that frightened me.

For the rest of the day, Ula and I talked about boundaries that help us, when necessary, to deal with our needs before the needs of others. Boundaries can protect us from being overworked; they can protect our belongings(物品)or health. Sometimes, they simply buy us the time to be alone or with a friend, to be away from the chaos(混乱)of life, to rest and to enjoy ourselves.

Ula and I imagined different friends in different situations, crying and threatening(威胁)to tell on(告发)her, and I taught her to say “no”, even in these situations. I told her that I trust her to do what is right, no matter how angry that may make someone. And I told her that I will always be there to back her up.

Now, Ula realizes that it doesn’t matter if we are 7 or 47: Learning to protect our personal boundaries is a never-ending story, filled with errors(错误) in judgment(判断）. With each day of our lives, we have to learn where the line is. We have to decide whether and how, on that day, we will defend(捍卫)it.

I stayed with Ula until she said, “You need to go eat.” And in that moment, she reminded me of the next great lesson in boundaries: It is not enough to look out for(留意) our own limits(界限)-we must also honor(尊重)them in others.

19．After hearing Ula’s story, the writer felt worried mainly because ________.

A．Ula’s friend had a bad influence on her

B．there was something wrong with her heart

C．Ula had trouble getting along with her friend

D．Ula couldn’t refuse others

20．By creating boundaries, we can ________ according to the passage.

A．manage to deal with the chaos of life B．protect ourselves from extra work

C．build better friendships with others D．understand others’ needs better

21．What does the writer advise her daughter to do when she is asked to do what she dislikes?

A．Say no to her friends no matter how they feel.

B．Refuse her friends’ requests as long as(只要)they don’t get angry.

C．Speak to her friends’ parents when she feels threatened.

D．Talk with her friends about how she truly feels.

22．Which of the following would the writer agree with?

A．We should respect others’ limits while defending our own.

B．Boundaries are more important for children than adults.

C．It is selfish to put our needs before others’ needs.

D．People who take no notice of our feelings are unworthy of our friendship.

C

It’s easy to tell when most foods have gone bad: They’ll let you know with a different smell or look. But what about eggs? There’s not much you can tell by simply looking at or smelling one. Here are a few ways to check if your eggs are still safe to eat.

You can do a float test to see if your eggs are bad. After enough time has passed, the egg will have enough air inside to make it float. Fill a bowl with water. Make sure that the bowl should be big enough to fully flood the egg, gently place your egg inside and see if it goes down or floats. If it floats, it’s old and you may want to throw it away. But, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service says an old egg may be perfectly safe to use. Break the egg into a bowl to see if it has changed smell and appearance before deciding to use or throw it. If the egg goes down and stands up, then it’s not very fresh but still safe to eat. If it goes down and falls to its side, then the egg is the freshest.

You can also perform a shake test to see if your eggs are bad. Hold an egg by your ear and shake it. If you hear nothing, your egg is OK. If you hear something moving around inside, it means the egg is no longer firm but rather old and watery. However, FSIS does not allow this test for freshness. Your best bet is the float test or, even easier, breaking the egg.

You can break the eggs to see if they have gone bad. A fresh egg should have a bright yellow or orange yolk that is more rounded than flat. If the colour of the yolk or white has changed, the egg is no good. If your eggs look good but smell bad, do not eat them.

23．According to a float test, which egg is the freshest?

A． B． C． D．

24．If an egg is firm, it is usually ________.

A．old B．watery C．smelly D．fresh

25．The easiest way of testing whether eggs have gone bad is to ________.

A．look at them B．smell them 

C．break them D．shake them

26．What would the text talk about next?

A．What if we eat bad eggs.

B．Where to buy fresh eggs.

C．How to cook meals with eggs.

D．Why we need to eat an egg every day.

D

You may not realize it, but you do it all the time. That is, begin with the end in mind. You draw up a plan before you build a house. You read instructions before you make a cake. You create an outline before you write a paper. It’s part of life.

Let’s have a begin-with-the-end-in-mind experience by using your imagination. Find a place where you can be alone. First, clear your mind. Don’t think about anything else. Then breathe deeply, and open your brain wide. Now, let’s come to the key part of the experience. In your mind, picture someone walking toward you about half a block away. At first you can’t see who it is. As this person gets closer and closer, you suddenly realize, believe it or not, it’s you. But it’s not you today, it’s you as you’d like to be one year from now. Now think deeply. Ask yourself the following questions:

What have you done with your life over the past year? How do you feel inside? What do you look like? Has your personality grown? Remember, this is you as you would like to be one year from now.

You can go back to reality (现实) now. If you actually tried this, you probably got in touch with your deeper self. You got a feel for what’s important to you and what goals (目标) you’d like to achieve next year.

________ First, you’re at important crossroads in life, and the paths you choose now can influence you forever. Second, if you don’t decide your own future, someone else will do it for you.

As Li Ping, a middle school student in Shanghai, discovered beginning with the end in mind is a powerful way to help turn your dreams into realities:

When I feel stressed, I’ve found it really helps me. I go someplace where I can be alone, and try to see the whole picture of my dream life—and then I begin to think about what I need to get there. This method started when I was a ninth grader, and today I’m making some of those pictures in mind become a reality.

27．Why does the writer mention the examples in Paragraph 1?

A．To explain making preparations is important.

B．To show making preparations is a part of life.

C．To teach people how to make daily preparations.

D．To show how much one loves making preparations.

28．What’s the most important part of the begin-with-the-end-in-mind experience?

A．Finding a quiet place and clearing your mind. 

B．Taking a deep breath and opening your mind.

C．Imagining a younger self walking towards you. 

D．Picturing what you want to achieve in the future.

29．Which of the following is the most suitable for the ________ in Paragraph 5?

A．What can you do to realize your dream?

B．How can we start to have an end in mind?

C．Why is it important to have an end in mind?

D．Who is going to help you choose paths in life?

30．Which idea will Li Ping probably agree with?

A．Having an end in mind helps you achieve a goal.

B．Staying alone can help you deal with your stress.

C．Imagining a dream life is a way to relax your mind.

D．Creating a plan is the easiest way to realize your dream.
