One day,the coach put up the Stars'new season list.My finger was shaking as I looked for my name.I felt heartbroken because Leo's name was there but mine wasn't.I said to myself,"There must be a mistake!"Being on the Asteroids made me feel like a loser. After joining the Asteroids,I was very angry.I kicked the ball hard and ignored my teammates.Every time Leo waved at me,I turned away.I felt so sad. Things changed on a Saturday.The Stars played against Riverside United.I watched them from behind the stands.They worked well together.Leo did well in stopping passes.I remembered:while I was angry,Leo practiced free kicks every week. After the game,I waited for Leo.I said,"Your winning kick was cool!"We gave each other a high-five.He said,"Coach thinks you're getting better.Keep practicing,and we'll be teammates again."

Every day,we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things,like making money,buying food and paying bills.We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks.These are things we choose to do out of care or responsibility.This bottle gets filled with tasks like driving kids to school, preparing family meals,or washing clothes for family members.They might not 初二英语第4页共8页 always be fun,but they show what we value and that we're willing to take on responsibilities However,we often forget to fill the third bottle-the Happiness Bottle.This is the bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy.Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day?Between doing all the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks,time flies by,and before we know it,it is time for bed.We all have days like that. This is why each day we have to make an effort to fill our Happiness Bottle. Most days,I fill mine by going to a dance class.And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter.This week,I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood.We played music together for charity()..It was a time of fun,friendship and music-making.At the end of the evening,my Happiness Bottle was filled to the top. The challenge for each of us is not to let the day go by without filling our Happiness Bottle.That takes some planning.Many of us probably need to set time for happiness activities in our schedules().Or,we will fill our schedules with those Necessary and Voluntary Tasks. This week,think about how your time is being spent.Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life?Or are the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks using up all your time?At the end of the day,hopefully,we've done all we can to make sure that our Happiness Bottle is filled. 27.Which activity belongs to()a Necessary Task according to the passage? A.Having fun with your good friend B.Preparing a big dinner for your family. C.Going to work although it is raining heavily. D.Sending your son to a piano lesson on Sunday 28.What can we learn from the passage? A.People often fill the Happiness Bottle at bedtime. B.People are happy to fill the Voluntary Tasks Bottle each day. C.It is necessary for people to plan happiness activities on the schedule. D.It is OK if we don't fill the Necessary Tasks or Voluntary Tasks Bottle. 29.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To describe what the Happiness Bottle is like. B.To introduce ways to fill the Happiness Bottle C.To share the experience of filling the Happiness Bottle. D.To tell people to spend time filling the Happiness Bottle. 初二英语第5页共8页 D Most of us probably have told a lie at one time or another.Some lies are harmful.Some are mostly harmless.Still other lies may even be created with kindness.But whatever kind of lie you tell,it takes surprising brainpower to pull it off.Lying can also have unwanted influences. When you tell the truth,you think of what you want to say and just say it. However,lying takes much more work-you have to come up with a story and remember it.A lot of that work is done in a brain area called the prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层).It's responsible for working memory and executive function(执 tasks such as planning,problem-solving and self-control.Working memory keeps things in mind just for a little while as you're using them.Executive function comes into play when you use self-control to keep from blurting out()the facts that would uncover your lie.It helps you recall all the details of a lie to make sure that it sounds believable.It also lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you're telling will likely hold up to questioning. Calling on your executive function this way uses up a lot of brainpower. Vendemia,,a neuroscientist(神经科学家)at the University of South Carolina,did research and has found that people's mental workload(工作负担)will be heavier and their reaction time will be longer when they lie.Worse still,when the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying,she notes,it has a harder time doing other tasks such as making a study plan or using self-control to keep from spending too much time on computer games. .Lying has social influences too.Even the kindest lies can sometimes be risky and often backfire.When you give dishonest praise,you may make your friends feel good at first.But if you do it often enough,they'll soon learn that they can't trust your praise.People generally value honesty and don't like liars(),so if you are viewed as untrustworthy(不值得f信f的，it can be bad for your relationships. It's widely agreed that nearly all cultures value honesty.and now science is revealing()how dishonesty influences the brain and your ability to build the trust on which strong relationships depend.So,even when lying doesn't stretch( your nose,it still comes at a price that you can't afford. 30.The second paragraph is mainly about A.why self-control benefits the brain B.what social influences lying can bring C.how the brain works when people lie D.when executive function comes into play 31.What can we learn about lying from the passage? A.Lying improves working memory. 初二英语第6页共8页 B.Covering lies takes much brainpower. C.The nature of lies is decided by the brain. D People's reaction can be sped up by lying. 32.The underlined word“backfire”in Paragraph4 probably means“_”. A.lead to serious accidents B.help to win full support C.build up strong relationships D have the opposite effect 33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Signs of Lying B.Costs of Lying C.Causes of Lies D.Types of Lies 四.阅读表达(34-36每小题2分；37题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Xu Qiusheng,81.has been a village doctor for over half a century.After he graduated from medical school,Xu started work in Yangfang village,Fengcheng City,in East China's Jiangxi Province.
