Future and Today
Do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. So if we want to have a good future， we should know the 【小题1】 (重要性) of time .
There is an old English 【小题2】 (谚语): “Gain time， gain life”. Then What’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or 【小题3】 (触摸)， but we can feel it flying . Time is always with us. When we are at table， time 【小题4】 (通过); When we play， time goes by unnoticeably. If time is gone away， it will never 【小题5】 (回来) ， and it’s impossible for us to 【小题6】 (借) time from other people. So people even say time is priceless.
We should always remember: future is now. For us students， we should make the best use of time every day and become the 【小题7】 (主人) of time. Also， never put 【小题8】 (推迟) what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know， “Time and tide wait for no man.” If someone 【小题9】 (浪费) today， he or she will regret (遗憾) tomorrow. So from now on， work hard， tomorrow will be better， and your future will be 【小题10】 (明亮的). Remember: “No pains， no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.

【17.题】The day before yesterday, when Peter’s families were having dinner, Father raised an interesting question, “Was there anything in our past that we feel ashamed（羞愧的） of, guilty about, or regretted? Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrongdoing.” This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night.
Peter remembered a small thing from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied, denying the truth. No one ever talked about it.
This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? I want you to know that I did it.” “I knew it!’ Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”
Peter knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.
【小题1】What did Peter remember doing in middle school?
A．Something fantastic.
B．Something unpleasant.
C．Something valuable.
D．Something useful.
【小题2】.What colour were the words “Neil Stone is a fool!”?

B．Light green.
C．Pure white.
D．Bright red.
【小题3】What does the underlined word “denying” mean?

C．否认
D．承认

C．It’s never too late.
D．Every dog has its day.

【19.题】Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture?” Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,” can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(非洲小猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves.Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
【小题1】Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea.____.
A．A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences
B．Other animals can invent tools
C．Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior
D．The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think
【小题2】“Culture” refers to ____.
A．book language of behavior we learn
B．the patterns of behavior we learn
C．traditional ideas
D．people’s good habits
【小题3】A chimpanzee’s use of tools means ____.
A．animals are the same as human beings
B．animals can be as clever as human beings
C．the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer exists
D．animals may have a culture like our own
【小题4】Which of the following statement is true?____.
A．The ability to use language separates human beings
B．We can be certain that animals have a culture too
C．Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture too
D．Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong
【小题5】The first sentence of the second paragraph “Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses “ means ____.
A．as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses
B．our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses
C．our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lost
D．our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still have
