B As you read this passage,you probably have some paper,a pen and at least one pencil in front of you.Have you ever wondered how they were first made and where they come from? The word"paper"comes from the name papyrus,a plant.The ancient Egyptians took the soft centre of this plant and added water to make a wet mixture which was then pressed together and hung up to dry.The resulting paper was strong yet flexible and was used as writing material in Greek and Roman times.However,it was the Chinese who invented what we now know as paper.The method,in use over 2,000 years ago,also involved pressing and drying wet material to form paper. Many materials were used.It was not until the 19th century that paper became easy to make and cheap to buy. The earliest pens were hollow reeds(空心芦苇)that were put into ink to produce a form of writing.By the 6th century BCE,feathers had taken the place of the reeds and contrmed to be used until the appearance of the metal nib ()The ballpoint pen was developed in the second half of the 20th century by the Hungarian Biro brothers. From the time of the Romans,a metal stick,made of lead(),was used to write on papyrus. The lead left only a light mark and was later replaced by another soft metal,cated graphite () Unlike lead,graphite produced a much firmer and heaver line.The graphite sticks,however,broke very easily.So an Italian couple invented something a little like our modern pencil. 6.What does the underlined word "flexible"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.柔韧的 B.复杂的 C.舒适的 D.坚硬的 7.When did the paper become easily avatlable? A.In the 6th century. B.In the 12th century.C.In the 19th century.D.In the 20th century. 8.Which of the following is the correct order ot pens'development? ①feathers ②hollow reeds metal mb ④ballpoint pen A.①→②→④→③ B.G→①→9→④ C.④+②→①→③.D.②-④→①→③ 9.Why did pencil makers change the pencil sticks from lead to graphite? A.Because lead is harmful to people. B.Because lead breaks more easily. C.Because graprrtemakes darker lines. D.Because graphite can't be found easily. 10.What does this passage mainly talk about? A.The benefit of the pen. B.The inventor of the pencil. C.The mmportant inventions in China. D.The history of paper,pens and pencils. c Tears can nnn)make-up,bring a conversation to a stop;and give you a runny nose.

When some people become very stressed,however,they can't cry.They may be feeling anger, fear or sadness,but they repress the emotion."Everyone has the need to cry,"says Doctor Vera Diamond.Sometimes in therapy sessions(心理辅导)，patients join in crying exercises.They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion.Diamond says it's best to cry in safe and private places because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them.In fact,they may be repressing their own need to cry as well. In certain situations,such as at work,tears are not proper.It's good to control tears during a tense(紧张的)business discussion,“But once you are safely behind closed door,don't1 ust cry,” Diamond says.She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like.It will help you feel comfortable.She adds,"once your tears-haveased the stress,you can begin to think of reasonable ways to deal with the problem."
