On a mid-September day, British climbers Rachel Kelsey and Jeremy Colenso were climbing in the Swiss Alps.

When they left their base, the weather was good, and they reached the top of the mountain. Snow began to fall, making it difficult to see where they could put their hands and feet on the rock. After several frightening minutes, they found a narrow ledge(巖石架) and climbed on to it, hoping the snow would stop and they could continue to climb down.

“We had to stay awake,” said Rachel, “because it was so cold that we could have died. So we told stories and rubbed our fingers to keep them warm.”

But what could they do? Rachel had brought her mobile phone with her, but all the people she could get in touch with were in London. Still, she sent a text message at 1:30 a.m. to get help. It read: “Need heli rescue off Piz Badile, Switzerland”. At 5:00 a.m., one friend, Avery Cunliffe, got the message. He jumped into action, called the rescue services in Switzerland, and called Rachel to tell her that help was coming.

The weather was too bad for the helicopters to operate, but Avery kept sending text messages to the climbers. “We owe our lives to Avery,” they said when they were back at base.

A. They were both experienced climbers.

B. They decided that they had to get help.

C. They were all asleep, and nothing happened.

D. She sent the same text to five friends in the UK.

E. At about 10:00 p.m. they were lifted off the mountain.

F. The snow did not stop and the temperature dropped to -10℃.

G. But as they started the climb down, a storm struck the mountain.

【題目】Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages. The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the next voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.

The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing (沖突) with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try, most of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in, but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm (節(jié)奏).The message: give other people space but also confidently claim your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.

The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course.

It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.

“The course isn’t there to make you happy,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”

Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. Improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another.

The course is taught for three periods a week. Although it’s the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

“In the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people,” said Fanny, 17.

Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some US universities, mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression.

【1】What’s the writing purpose of this passage?

A. To describe all the traditional courses.

B. To introduce the happiness course.

C. To develop the readers’ interest in happiness.

D. To help students struggle against being sad.

【2】According to the passage, the happiness course is ________.

A. created by the Willy Hellpach School

B. to make all the students happy all the time

C. required to be taken by the first year students

D. to help students discover the way to happiness

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. the students’ self-respect can also improve happiness

B. the students just took the course as a laughing matter

C. the students can certainly become happy after the course

D. the students waste time learning something without value

【題目】Humans have long been interested greatly in the idea of being able to walk on water. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever realizing this dream without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much, and all our weight pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.

However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will reach a speed of 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans, we would need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create enough “hitting”.

But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour(玉米淀粉). By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a special mixture that doesn't behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(微粒) in the water get together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of this adequately thick liquid of cornflour.

Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings(救生圈) ready in case you start to sink—and take a bath afterward!

【1】Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans _________.

A. are not interested in it

B. are afraid to make an attempt

C. have not invented proper tools

D. have biological limitations

【2】What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?

A. It is light enough to walk on water.

B. It can run across water at a certain speed.

C. Its huge feet make it able to stay above water.

D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.

【3】What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?

A. To help the liquid behave normally.

B. To turn the water into solid.

C. To create a thick liquid.

D. To make the water move rapidly.

【4】What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?

A. It is risky but beneficial.

B. It is impractical though possible in thoery.

C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.

D. It is interesting and worth trying.
