Coming Back to Earth
David loved everything about flying.He wanted to be an airplane pilot one day.He made planes out of paper，and he drew cartoons about space travel.
David became so involved in his air travel projects that he often forgot the time.Sometimes he forgot to do his homework.Once，he was late in preparing his part of a group report.As a result，all three students in his group got low grades. "I'm sorry，but look at this fantastic model of a seaplane I made!" David said.
One day at school，David spent his lunch break under a tree drawing his design for a new spaceship.He heard the bell at the end of the break，but could not make himself leave.Surely Mrs.Carl，his teacher，would understand why he was late when she saw his wonderful idea，he thought.
An hour later，David walked back to his classroom. "Where have you been，David？I sent the monitor to look for you." Mrs.Carl said.
"I'm sorry，but I just had to finish this spaceship design，said David as he tried to show Mrs.Carl his drawing.
"But we had a special guest speaker this afternoon，an airplane pilot who talked about his job.He just finished his speech and left." Mrs.Carl explained.
David's smile fell，along with his heart. "I forgot!I missed him？I can't believe I missed a real airplane pilot. "
David hung his head in disappointment. "I missed the best part of school for the whole year." he said to himself.
"Lesson learned？" his teacher said.David nodded，and then he took his seat，putting his drawing away in his desk.
（1）David wanted to be .
A．an artist B．a teacher C．an airplane pilot D．a spaceship designer
（2）Mrs.Carl asked the monitor to look for David .
A．finish his design B．listen to a speech

Laughter is a social emotion，so we're 30 times more likely to laugh if there is somebody else with us than if we're on our own.
We laugh to show that we agree with what someone says；that we remember the same thing that we're talking about.People will also use laughter to try and mask other emotions.People will laugh to try and pretend they're not upset，or embarrassed or in pain.People will use laughter to get other people to do things.If you get someone laughing，they will tell you more about themselves.
Laughter can sometimes feel contagious（有感染力的）.You can probably think of occasions when you've been watching television or listening to the radio，maybe it's been broadcast live，and the presenter or presenters start to get the giggles（咯咯的笑）.If you chuckle，the contagion is working.And it's called behaviourally contagious phenomena（现象），which are things you can catch from somebody else just because they're doing them.You might have noticed this happens with yawning，it happens a lot with laughter.
As you know，there are lots of health benefits from laughing.You are more relaxed when you laugh.So as soon as you start laughing，you get a reduction in adrenaline（肾上腺素）.You also get an increased uptake of the body's naturally circulating endorphin（内啡肽）.Now，that is because you do quite a lot of exercise at your ribcage（胸腔） when you laugh.It's exactly the same as a runner's high or the good feeling you get after exercising.And interestingly，that's true of laughter even if you've completely pretended to laugh.
Unluckily，laughter can also have a darker side.When we laugh ha﹣ha﹣ha，breathing out，we do squeezes with ribcage.These big squeezes，particularly if you're laughing really hard，are quite stressful for your heart and your lungs and that can mean if you have some sort of problem with your heart or your lungs or your blood vessels，you can put them under more strain.And throughout history，there are examples of people who have died of laughing.
So if you want to get your endorphin going，you can start by laughing out loud.
（1）You laugh to while your friend states his team beat your favourite one excitedly.
A.feel much comfortable B.ask for more information
C.pretend you're not upset D.show your congratulations
（2）The second paragraph is mainly about .
A.why humans laugh B.what laughter means
C.when humans need to laugh D.how laughter affects one's emotion
（3）What do we know from the passage？
A.Real laughing influences one's health much more.
B.You're likely to keep calm while a TV presenter is laughing.
C.Laughing hard is possibly harmful to patients with heart illness.
D.You're hardly able to get the same feeling from laughing as exercising.

Why do we do the things we do？What drives our behavior？Psychologists have suggested different ways of thinking about motivation （动机），including looking at whether motivation arises from outside （extrinsic） or inside （intrinsic） a person.
Researchers have found that each type has a different effect on a person's behavior and efforts to achieve goals.To better understand the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on human behavior，it would help to learn how each type works.
Extrinsic motivation is when you are motivated to perform a behavior or take part in an activity because you want to get a reward （奖赏）or avoid punishment.You will take action not because you enjoy it，but because you expect to get something in return or avoid something unpleasant.
Intrinsic motivation is when you decide to do something because you find it satisfying.You are performing an activity for what it is not because you are after some external （外部的）reward.The behavior itself is its own reward.
Studies have shown that offering too many external rewards for an already internally rewarding behavior can reduce intrinsic motivation—which is known as the over justification （奖励过当）effect.For example，in a 2008 study，children who were rewarded for playing with a toy they had already expressed interest in playing with became less interested in the toy after being externally rewarded.
This is not to suggest that extrinsic motivation is a bad thing—it can be beneficial in some situations.For example，extrinsic motivation can be especially helpful when a person needs to complete a task that they find unpleasant.
Most people would accept that intrinsic motivation is best，but it is not always possible in every situation.Sometimes a person simply has no internal wish to join in an activity.
Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation play a key role in learning.Experts have argued that education's traditional stress on external rewards （such as grades，report cards，and gold stars） undermines any intrinsic motivation that students might already have.However，others have suggested that extrinsic motivators can help students feel more knowledgeable in the classroom，which in turn builds up their intrinsic motivation.
As professor David Myers put it，a person's interest often survives when a reward is used neither to bribe（贿赂）nor to control but to show a job well done，as in a "most improved player" award.Put simply，rewards，rightly given，can increase enjoyment and motivate high performance.
Understanding how each type of motivation works and when it is likely to be useful can help people perform tasks and improve their learning.
（1）You do something out of intrinsic motivation when you .
A．do schoolwork to get a good grade
B．work on a subject you find interesting
C．take part in a sport to receive recognition
D．clean your room to avoid criticism from your parents
（2）Why does the writer mention the 2008 study in Paragraph 5？
A．To explain the benefits of offering toys as rewards.
B．To prove external rewards can influence one's interest.
C．To introduce how intrinsic motivation works in children.
D．To stress the importance of understanding intrinsic motivation.
（3）The word "undermines" in Paragraph 8 means .
A．Weakens B．Separates C．Improves D．encourages
（4）The writer probably agrees that .
A．extrinsic motivation is key to one's achievement
B．intrinsic motivation has little to do with enjoying a task
C．properly﹣given rewards can encourage further improvement
D．offering rewards of any kind takes the fun out of an activity
四、阅读短文回答问题（34-36 题，每题2分；37题4分。共10分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
It is the night before handing in the report，and Emily Regan still has to research and write the ten﹣page paper.Emily's problem is procrastination （拖延症）.She has waited to do her work until the very last second and now she is stressed and has to work through the night to complete her paper.Procrastination is a problem for many students，but it does not have to be.Instead of waiting to start your homework until just before the deadline，you can follow these simple steps to avoid procrastination.
First，do a little bit every day rather than all at once.For example，in Emily's case，she could have spent 30 minutes a day working on that research paper and divided her work into parts.One week could have been spent doing research，one week writing an outline，one week writing the first draft（初稿），and the final week could have been spent finalizing the paper.Then，schedule（安排） that study time into your daily life.Treat your work like any other fun activities you have.Remember，you are the boss and it is up to you to follow your schedule.Be responsible for yourself and do not make any other plans during the time you have set aside that will prevent you from doing your work.
Once you have organized your time in this way，it is important to find a place to work where there are few distractions （干扰）.For example，if you are writing a paper，do not go on the Internet to check your email or see who else is online，and do not stay in a room where there is a TV.Instead，focus on the work you planned for that time.Then you can reward（奖励） yourself for your hard work by doing whatever you want﹣emailing，chatting with friends，or watching television.You will probably enjoy yourself more because you will not have the work hanging over your head and stressing you out.
Although procrastination is a common mistake that many students make，do not put yourself in Emily's shoes and leave work until the last minute.It is easy to make some simple changes in the way you work to prevent it from happening.
（1）What does Emily Regan have to do the night before handing in the report？
（2）What is the first thing you can do to avoid procrastination？
（3）How can you reward yourself for your hard work？
（4）What do you think of procrastination？What do you suggest people do to avoid procrastination？（List at least two ways）

五、文段表达（10分）
As we know，communication is very important for our growth.I often communicate with my friends in my daily life.We talk about our studies，problems，our daily lives and so on.
I think the most useful skill to communicate better is to respect others.Last year I went travelling with my good friend.When we made the plan，we disagreed.We argued about it because I thought he should follow my advice.Later，I thought about it and realized that his advice was actually pretty good.We should respect each other.I said sorry to him and then we had a good trip.In my opinion，everyone should learn how to get on well with others.We should learn to listen and understand others.We should also respect others politely.Communication can make our lives full of fun.I also advise that we should share our ideas more with others.；
