三、阅读单选

I would never forget what I learned from the day when I left my junior high school. On the last day our teacher told us something educational that I would like to share with you.

He began by drawing a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a school and a few friends inside the circle.

He asked, “Can anyone tell me what this is?” In a long silence, one student decided to express his idea, “The world?” The teacher said, “That's close. This is your Comfort Zone（舒适圈）. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you-your home, your family, your friends and your jobs. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any danger.”

“Can anyone tell me what will happen when you step out of this circle?” A strong silence came over the room. The same student replied, “You are afraid.” Another student said. “You may make mistakes.” The silence continued and our teacher smiled and asked, “When you make mistakes, what can the result be?” The first student said. “You learn something.”

“Exactly, you are learning.” Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow（箭头）pointing from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying, “When you leave your Comfort Zone, you put yourself out there. The result is that you learn something that you do not know to become a better person.” He drew a bigger circle around the original（原来的） circle, and added a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc.

A lesson from this story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone you will never be able to open your eyes to the outside world. When you step out of your Comfort Zone, you will make your circle bigger to challenge your mind and grow to be stronger, and all in all to be a better person.

21．The story happened on ________.

A．the first day of junior high school B．the last day of junior high school

C．the first day of senior high school D．the last day of senior high school

22．Which of the following is NOT included in the Comfort Zone that the teacher drew on the blackboard first?

A．Friends. B．House. C．Cars. D．School.

23．When people step out of the Comfort Zone, they will ________ at last.

A．learn something B．feel a little afraid

C．begin to make mistakes D．miss their family and friends

24．The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A．families always get in the way of people's growth

B．arrows help people make more friends

C．silence in the class means students can think more

D．stepping out of Comfort Zone can make people better

Would you like to have a brother or a sister? Years ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago with the end of China’s “one-child policy(政 策)”, this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It means that many Chinese children may have siblings(兄弟姐妹) in the future.

What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t, ” she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her.

“But children with siblings also have to learn to control their feeling, ” said Padilla-Walker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as competition, name-calling and even hair-pulling.

Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings.

Leman explained that parents are usually stricter with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So late born children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.

28．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph1refers to(指的是) _________ .

A．one-child policy B．the end of “one-child policy”

C．having a brother or a sister D．being allowed to have two children

29．In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us __________.

A．how to look after a sibling B．the advantages of having a sibling

C．how to get on well with a sibling D．the secrets of having a sibling

30．According to Kevin Leman __________.

A．late born children are usually successful at school

B．having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings

C．children with siblings have to learn to control their feelings

D．parents are usually stricter with their firstborn child

31．Which of the following is the best structure(结构)of the passage?

A． B． C． D．

High efficiency is important for a busy student. It is necessary for everyone to learn how to increase efficiency.

I have tried many ways to increase my efficiency since I was a middle school student. Before the beginning of a day, I always think about my goals and make a list of things I need to do. Then, I organize my to-do list to make an effective plan for the day. I always spend time doing important tasks first and make good use of the rest of the time.

By managing my time well, I have made progress. I usually finish my homework on time and still have time to relax myself. High efficiency and time management have helped me be successful in various areas of my life.
