If you, a man, are looking through this, congratulations: you are a survivor (幸存者). According to a survey, you are more than twice likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. If you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.

There are many reasons for this. Men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke—but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should.” says Dr. Gullotta,“This is particularly so for the over 40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed(延遲) doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year. “When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer.”he says.“Earlier finding and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have made him live longer.”

According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.

“A lot of men think they are strong enough. While some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know. Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies.” Dr. Gullotta says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be found out by check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would place strain on the public purse, Gullotta says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to cure the diseases. Besides, the final/highest cost is far greater: it is called premature death(過早死亡).”

1. From the first paragraph, we can know that _________.

A. women are more likely to die of skin cancer

B. men are more likely to get some deadly diseases

C. men can live five years longer than women

D. men who live long are very lucky

2.What is a more important reason for man’s death?

A. Men take more risks than women.

B. Diseases tend to strike men easily

C. Men don’t go to doctors for check-ups.

D. Men like drinking and smoking.

3.Why does the author take a 50-old-man as an example?

A. To realize the importance of disease prevention.

B. To show he could have avoided death.

C. To prove smoking leads to lung cancer.

D. To think highly of the doctor’s work.

4.What can be drawn from the last paragraph?

A. Treatment would cost a lot of money.

B. Cars are more valuable than health.

C. Men are brave to accept the reality.

D. Check-ups are necessary and worthwhile.

It had been three months since Ms Miller had started teaching. She was gradually being able to understand all her students, except one, Bob. Bob was the only boy who came to school dressed untidily and sat in the class completely lost in his own world. His performance had been deteriorating gradually with every single day.

Ms Miller searched through the progress reports of Bob and was shocked to see Bob used to be the topper in his class. Bob's performance began to slowly decline when his mother fell ill. He was doing badly in each and every subject when his mother died leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had to travel always. Apart from his performance worsening gradually, Bob's nature too began to change. He had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. All his friends had abandoned him.

He thanked her for everything. Ms Miller took the bottle of perfume in her hand and saw a new tag attached to it; it said "Happy Mother's Day”!

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆湖北省高二下學期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.

You can't depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.

You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.

You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?

Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions ---we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don't dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

1.What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Choose to Be Happy B. Pretend to Be Happ

C. Choose Your Emotions D. Find Happiness

2.The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is ________.

A. balancing the relationship between the husband and wife is an art

B. one can’t rely on someone else to make himself or herself happy

C. she can depend on her husband to find happiness

D. happiness can be influenced by outside forces

3.Why did the writer mention buying shoes?

A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.

B. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.

C. To help to move to the next paragraph easily.

D. To use it as an example to show the importance of choosing to be happy.

4.The writer suggests that we should ________.

A. hold back our feelings properly

B. let others control our feelings

C. respond immediately to others’ words

D. pay more attention to words than actions

Many parents take on the role of being their children’s preschool teacher and the responsibility of readying them for kindergarten. To achieve this goal, it is important for parents to introduce a variety of subjects in a positive and playful manner.

“Learning should not be forced,”says Marion Godwin, who has taught first grade in Moorestown, N. J. for more than 30 years.“ It should be taught according to what they know and do best—and that is‘ play’. When teaching them, play games and have fun with the subject. And parents should always be looking for‘teachable moments’.”

“You want a child to be a lifelong learner, so you want to show them learning is everywhere,”she says.“If parents take the time to lay a strong educational foundation, their children will keep building on it.”

Introduce children to science with hands-on activities that interest them, such as growing plants from seeds, discussing animals and how to care for pets, and observing the chemical changes that occur during cooking”, she says.

“Sorting activities, simple patterns and counting games are a great way to teach children the basics of math, and taking them on field trips, singing songs and reciting rhymes also are ways to prepare them for the first day of school”, she says.

“I think children are naturals when it comes to computers,” she says.“Let them play educational games on the computer and teach them how to type their first names using the keyboard. When they are more familiar with using the computer, let them find pictures of animals and places on the web. ”

“Don’t criticize the child,” she says. “You can’t force them to learn something. If they don’t get something right, so what? Smile and be happy and make the experience joyful. Parents need to understand that if a child gets something wrong, they may think something is wrong with them. Keep working with them and when they get the right answer make sure you tell them how hard they worked to get the correct answer. ”

1.Marion Godwin tells us that we should teach the children according to their_____ .

A. subjects and needs

B. level and interest

C. teachable moments

D. strong educational foundation

2.According to Godwin, children should ____________________ .

A. keep a pet each and care for it

B. do some cooking every day

C. learn science with interesting hand-on activities

D. learn from the farmers and grow plants from seeds

3.In Godwin’s opinion, children should be encouraged to_________ .

A. learn all by themselves

B. play more computer games

C. learn to type their first names

D. learn online under instructions

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. How to prepare your children for kindergarten

B. Learning should not be forced

C. How to be a lifelong learner

D. Learning is everywhere

The increase in tuition fees has led to a “clear drop” in the number of English students applying for university places this autumn. There are 15,000 “missing” applicants（申請人） this academic year, according to the Independent Commission on Fees. Chairman Will Hutton said: “We’re asking our young men and women to have more debt than any other country in the world — it’s higher than the average debt in the US. It’s not clear whether those lost students this year will return next year, or if it’s a storm warming of a worrying trend.”

But the commission’s report says there does not seem to be an impact on poorer communities. The commission found there was no significant change in the application rate to the key universities, such as Oxford or Cambridge. The decline（下降） in England has not been mirrored（再現(xiàn)） in other parts of the UK where fees have not been raised, and the drop can only partly be explained by falling numbers of young people in the population. Students from Scotland attending Scottish universities do not pay fees, while the Welsh Assembly says it will pay fees above ￡3,465 for Welsh students attending UK institutions.

The average tuition fee at English universities this year is ￡ 8,385, rising to ￡ 8,507 next year. UK and EU students have access to government-backed loans to pay the fees. And the survey of 1,000 pupils aged 15-18, carried out this April, found that the majority expected to go on to higher education as people continue to understand that university remains a good long term investment（投資） in their future.

A spokeswoman at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills which is responsible for universities, said: “Students shouldn’t be forced to put off going to university for financial reasons. Most students will not have to pay in advance, and no one will have to start paying back their student loan until they start to earn at least ￡ 2l,000 per year.”

1.From the first paragraph, we know that .

A. the rising tuition fees have a great effect on English students

B. many English students are missing the final examinations

C. the lost English students will find their way back

D. it’s a trend that English students are dropping out of school

2. Why is there still a drop of applicants though fees have not been raised?

A. Because the students live in poor communities.

B. Because education is free for Scottish students.

C. Because there are less young students in the area.

D. Because Welsh students will pay fees above￡3,465.

3.What’s the students’ attitude to universities in the survey?

A. They will stop applying for university places this autumn.

B. They feel universities takes up too much time.

C. They are anxious to go to a key university.

D. Most of them are willing to go to university.

4.The spokeswoman in the last paragraph advises students to .

A. put off going to university

B. pay for the fees in advance

C. reduce the anxiety about the rising fees

D. pay back their loan soon aller graduation
