四、阅读理解
In the mid－1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more thanthat. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24－year－old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand，Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼) followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well－rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
1.What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?
A.His friends' invitation.
B.His interest in the country.
C.His love for teaching.
D.His desire to regain health.
2.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Developing a serious mental disease.
B.Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C.Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D.Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
3.Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan?
A.Romantic. B.Eventful.
C.Pleasant. D.Dangerous.
4.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To introduce a book.
B.To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C.To remember a writer.
D.To recommend a travel destination.

Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.
Don't think a lot about negativity.
Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Having things that annoy you is normal, and in fact, it's just healthy to cry or express upset once in a while. It's when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. __1__ However, don't give that sadness another second in your day.
What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruit and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of exercise, and try to stick to a routine. __3__
__4__ Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours. Remember to smile and treat each person with respect. Good deeds can spread, and your positive attitude may spread among others.
Take it one day at a time.
Being positive isn't an easy thing. It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. __5__Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
A.Eat healthily and stay fit.
B.Take your lunch breaks outside.
C.Don't worry about what the future may bring.
D.Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.
E.Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
F.Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
G.Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine can improve your mood

七、读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Lisa was a little girl, she learned an important lesson from her father. Her father told her that when she faced a problem, she should never give up, and instead she should try another solution. In the following years, Lisa always remembers her father's words.
When Lisa was little, she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer after growing up. It was always her dream. But it was not an easy road.
After graduating from college, Lisa went to Paris with her designs in order to make her dream come true. In Paris, she tried to talk to famous designers and show them some of her designs, but none of them showed any interest.
Though Lisa was discouraged, she didn't give up. One day, at a friend's party, she was introduced to a young lady who was dressed in a beautiful knitted (针织的) sweater. It wasn't a fancy color, but it did have very special stitches(编织法). Lisa asked that lady if she knitted it herself after talking with her for a while. The lady said it was a work of a lady in Paris.
Lisa really loved the special stitches and wanted to include them in her designs. And then Lisa had an even braver idea.“Why not own a fashion store of my own? That way, I could design, make and sell my own clothes，” she thought. So she decided to begin with that kind of sweater.
Later Lisa's friend introduced her to Madam Dean who knitted that sweater. The lady was from Armenia and she learned to knit that kind of sweater from people in her country.
Lisa drew a picture of a sweater and asked Madam Dean to knit the sweater for her. Madam Dean agreed. One week later, Lisa got the sweater. The following day after Lisa received it, she wore it to a party in the fashion industry.
Lisa was very nervous but she was lucky. Not long after the party began, her sweater drew the attention of a store owner from New York. She wanted to order forty such sweaters in two weeks. Lisa was really happy and accepted the order.
The next day, Lisa told the good news to Madam Dean. ________
Lisa then remembered her father's words. ___________________
