On a cold evening in January，little Philip went upstairs and found the door closed.Outside the door of his mother's bedroom，he stopped and listened.Although no one told him not to go in，he had a feeling that it would be wrong to do so.He was a little afraid with his heart beating fast，but at the same time，something told him to open the door.He opened it quietly and slowly.He stood for some time before going in.He was not afraid now，but he felt strange（奇怪的）.Then，the little boy closed the door behind him.
▲Looking around it，the little boy went in the room gently and slowly.On the dressing table，Philip saw Mrs.Carey's brushes and the hand mirror.There was a photo of him and also a photo of his father on the wall.He had often been in the room when his mother was not in it，but now it seemed different.There was something different in the chairs.The bed was made just like someone would sleep in it that night.
Philip opened a large cupboard（壁柜） full of dresses and then he went in.He took as many of them as he could in his arms and put his face in them.Then he opened the drawers（抽屉） filled with his mother's things，and looked at them.Their smell was fresh and warm.The difference of the room left it，and it seemed to him that his mother had just gone out for a walk.She would be in any minute and would come upstairs to have a small cup of tea with him.And it seemed that he felt her kiss on his face.He just couldn't believe it!He kept telling himself it was not true that he would never see her again.Feeling hopeless，he looked around the room again.However，it was true!
Finally，he climbed up on the bed and put his head on the pillow（枕头）.He lay there warmly and quietly，full of sadness.

①Nearly all of us know that eating vegetables is good for us.Some people love to eat vegetables，but others don't.Do you know why？In fact，a new study has found that other people's likes and dislikes could be a reason.According to the study，people who eat vegetables and show a clear dislike for them can influence（影响） others.
②When eating vegetables，people will show their feelings by making expressions.Will this influence others who are watching them eating and how？Scientists in the UK did a study.They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults（成年人） eating carrots.The people in the videos had different expressions when eating.They would frown（皱眉） or even want to spit them out of their mouths with a terrible and sad face.
③The study found that when people in the videos looked terrible while eating vegetables，people watching them began to like carrots less.The opposite（相反的） was not true，however.When someone had a smile while eating carrots，people watching him did not like carrots more.
④Watching others helps people to learn which act（行为） will be good for them.Scientists believe that people might say no to the food that looks terrible.In this way，people can keep away from eating something bad or dangerous.That's the reason why people who show a clear dislike for vegetables can influence others.
⑤The study only focused on adults，but the team believes that the results could also work for children.Parents have much influence on children.This means if children see their parents not enjoying some kinds of foods like vegetables，they might not want to eat them，either.
⑥How do the acts of parents influence children？The team said they hoped to understand more about it.This could help find ways to encourage children to eat more healthy foods.
（1）What does the underlined word "expressions" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A.The looks on people's faces.
B.The fruits that people like.
C.The ideas that people share.
D.The words that people write.
（2）What did the study find？
A.People like the food better if others like it，too.
B.People may not pick the food others dislike.
C.Young women are easy to follow others' ideas.
D.Children dislike some kinds of vegetables.
（3）What may the scientists study more in the future according to the passage？
A.The feelings of parents.
B.The food for adults and children.
C.The children's likes and dislikes.
D.The influence of parents' acts.
（4）Which of the following shows the structure of this passage？
A. B.
C. D.

VI.任务型阅读。阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下面各题。
We spend most of our time with our friends.What kind of people are welcomed by others then？These days，Teenagers' World Magazine asked students in No.1 Middle School about what was the most important to be a friend.It listed some traits（特征） of friends for them to choose and here are the results.
Firstly，twenty﹣nine percent of the students think being happy is the most important.Everybody wants to be happy，and nobody wants to spend their time with an unhappy person.If we are with a happy person，we are more probably to be happy，too.
Next，forty﹣one percent have a different answer to the question.They think when getting into trouble or having some difficulties，we want our friends to reach for our hands to help us.We are not a good friend if we don't give a hand to our friends when they need help.When we need help，they will be there for us，too.So it's always good to be helpful.
Lastly，some of them think giving encouragement（鼓励） to friends is a better trait than others，because sometimes in our lives we meet failure，sadness，problems and other bad things.We need someone there to always encourage us and cheer us up.
We find that it feels much better if people want to be our friends because of our traits.So if we want to make friends more easily，we'd better have these excellent traits.

（2）What percent of the students think giving encouragement to friends is a better trait？

My Parents' and My Childhood Activities
Childhood plays an important role in our life.My parents' childhood，although difficult，was very interesting.They spent a lot of time playing with friends outside every day.They did rope skipping，kicked shuttlecock，etc.They could go up the mountain to pick flowers and climb trees to pick fruits at that time.They could enjoy the cool air outside.If they were hot at that time，they could also blow a fan at home.They would also watch TV for a while at that time.My childhood activities were rich and colorful.If I got hot，I could use air conditioning.We have a convenient internet，so when I was bored，I could use smart devices.My parents also often took me on flights for travel.I had also participated in many interest classes.I could draw and dance in my free time.I believe that every era has its own benefits.We should not forget the past even though we should enjoy the present.At the same time，we also need to work hard for the future.；
