In Britain there was a pair of silent(沉默的)twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons, who refused to talk to anyone but each other. However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost any time together with each other. What happens when twins do not grow up together? Are they just like any other people, or are there still special similarities(相似点) between them? Professor” Tm Bouchuard tried to find the answer to this question. He followed sixteen pairs of twins, who lived indifferent families. Each twin was then asked about their lite. Here are the results. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies or habits, and some have the same illnesses(疾病). A lot of the twins have had children at almost the same times; sometimes they have even given them the same names. But the must surprising similarities are found between Jim Springer and Jim Lewis. The story of the “Jim Twins” were on newspapers and televisions. Born in 1939, and brought up by different families, both babies were named Jim by their new parents So how can we tell these assimilates? Study shows that our personalities(个性) may be at least partly due to nature (归结于天性). On the other hand, some surprising coincidences(巧合)do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins. 34. What did Tom Bouchard want to find out? A. low do the twins make friends in their life? B. How many kinds of similarities are there in twins? C. Do the twins have the same interest when they are young? D. Are the twins similar when they live in different families? 35. How many pairs of twins took part in Tom Bouchard's study? A. Seven. B. Eight. C. Twelve. D. Sixteen 36. According to the passage, Jim Twins_. A. had the same first names B. grew up together C. had children in the same year D. were port in different families 37. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that the results are_. A. surprising B. worrying C. Terrible D. angry C The Noble Prize was established by Alfred Noble.

Some people want to feel less shy so they can have more fun being themselves when they stay with others. Here are some tips for you to be less shy. Start small with people you know. Do some practice like eye contact, small talks, asking questions, and making invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around. Don't forget to smile. Think of some conversation starters. Often, the hardest part of talking to others is getting started. Think about how to begin your conversation, like saying something about yourself first. “Hi, I'm Chris, we're in the same English class.”giving a compliment “That jacket looks great on you.”, or asking a question “Do you know when the next bus will arrive?” Prepare what you want to say. When you're afraid to try something difficult-like a phone call or a conversation-write down what you want to say first. Then read it out aloud, maybe in front of the mirror. When you are ready, just do it. Don't worry if it's not like how you practiced. Most of all, be yourself. It's OK to try out different ways to stop being shy. Just say and do as you like. Being the real you-and never be afraid to show yourself it is the real you that attracts friends. 42.What may you say if you want to give a compliment to others? A. Hi, I'm Tom. B.

Recently, I read a book about animals called A Lion's Traveling. A Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it. The book tells the story or five lions. After they are made to leave their home, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water. The fourth lion dies in the river. Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, is still alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally becomes the lion king. The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by brothers, the determination(决心)to deal with challenges. The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those experiences of going through difficulties will make us stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and keep finding our better selves. The book is full of something exciting about the life of lions. Together with lovely pictures, it gives readers a wonderful experience. If you want to read the great story and learn a lot about the animals in the real world, choose it!
