5．Dear Madam，
Welcome back to school.My child is so happy to be in your class this year.We know you care so much about your students.I want to tell you a little bit about my child.Although he really loves to learn，he is somewhat anxious about being back in school again.
My child is thought to be gifted and that has brought some unexpected challenges to him and our family.To many people，being gifted means he will do very well in school，but that hasn't always been true for him.He is just a kid thinking differently，and he sometimes struggles in school.Last year，school wasn't easy for him for a few reasons.
He may be ahead a few grade levels in some subjects，but not in all subjects.He just doesn't do better in all areas all the time.And although he may seem older than his years，he doesn't always behave like you would think he should.I'm sure you know how gifted children can be emotionally immature-that is exactly my kid.
Also，he can be really intense in class when you are teaching one of his favorite topics.He may raise his hand often and constantly talk about what he thinks about it.I'll apologize in advance because he will also likely challenge you on information or facts which he feels are not quite right especially when it's a topic he is hooked on.He is not being impolite and he isn't just being a know- it-all，or a show-off，he is really just very excited to be learning about a subject he feels strong about. He just gets carried away!
Last year，he was teased（嘲笑）about looking like a know-it-all in school by some of his classmates，which hurts him A LOT.Being teased is part of his fear of going back to school.He fears being called a show-off at school and he feels like he doesn't fit in.His teacher said he often kept to himself and chose to work alone.I know as a teacher，you are incredibly busy，but could you keep an eye out for anyone teasing him or if he seems to be keeping to himself too much？
Lastly，his therapist（理療師）mentioned that because of the teasing and maybe because he was bored last year in school，he is showing signs of becoming an underachiever.Please let me know if his grades start slipping.
Thank you for taking the time to read and understand about my child.Don't hesitate to call or email me if there are any problems with him at school.Believe me，we know very well how sensitive，emotional and intense he can be.
I hope you have a wonderful school year!
Sincerely，
Mom of a Gifted Child

6．We've all been there：in a lift，in line at the bank or on an airplane，surrounded by people who are，like us，deeply focused on their smartphones or，worse，struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What's the problem？It's possible that we all have compromised（妥協(xié)）conversational intelligence.It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging，or we think it's annoying and unnecessary.But the next time you find yourself among strangers，consider that small talk is worth the trouble.Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy，but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation.Small talk is the grease（潤滑劑）for social communication，says Bernardo Carducci，director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk，" he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others，not just communicate with them."
In a 2014 study，Elizabeth Dunn，associate professor of psychology at UBC，invited people on their way into a coffee shop.One group was asked to seek out an interaction（互動）with its waiter；the other，to speak only when necessary.The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband，" says Dunn. "But interactions with peripheral（邊緣的）members of our social network matter for our well-being also. "
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging，a bond with others.Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis of good manners，" he says.
（1）What phenomenon（現(xiàn)象）is described in the first paragraph？
A．Addiction to smartphones.
B．Impatience with slow service.
C．Inappropriate behaviours in public places.
D．Absence of communication between strangers.
（2）What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci？
A．Relating to other people.
B．Showing good manners.
C．Making business deals.
D．Focusing on a topic.
（3）What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk？
A．It matters as much as a formal talk.
B．It improves family relationships.
C．It raises people's confidence.
D．It makes people feel good.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Conversation Counts
B．Benefits of Small Talk
C．Uncomfortable Silence
D．Ways of Making Small Talk組卷：6引用：1難度：0.5 -
7．California condors are North America's largest birds，with wing-length of up to 3 meters.In the 1980s，electrical lines and lead poisoning（鉛中毒）nearly drove them to dying out.Now，electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to save these big birds.
In the late 1980s，the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred （繁殖）.Since 1992，there have been multiple（數(shù)量多的）reintroductions to the wild，and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona，Utah and Baja in Mexico.
Electrical lines have been killing them off. "As they go in to rest for the night，they just don't see the power lines，" says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo.Their wings can bridge the gap between lines，resulting in electrocution （電死）if they touch two lines at once.
So scientists have come up with a shocking idea.Tall poles，placed in large training areas，teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock.Before the training was introduced，66% of set-free birds died of electrocution.This has now dropped to 18%.
Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with.When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead，they take in large quantities of lead.This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds，and can lead to kidney（腎）failures and death.So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo，where they are treated with calcium EDTA，a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days.This work is starting to pay off.The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.
Rideout's team thinks that the California condors' average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. "Although these measures are not effective forever，they are important for now，" he says. "They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them. "
（1）California condors attract researchers' interest because they.
A．a(chǎn)re active at night
B．had to be bred in the wild
C．a(chǎn)re found on in California
D．a(chǎn)lmost died out in the 1980s
（2）Researchers have found electrical lines are.
A．blocking condors' journey home
B．big killers of California condors
C．rest places for condors at night
D．used to keep condors away
（3）According to Paragraph 5，lead poisoning.
A．makes condors too nervous to fly
B．has little effect on condors' kidneys
C．can hardly be gotten rid of from condors' blood
D．makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds
（4）The passage shows that.
A．the average survival time of condors is satisfactory
B．Rideout's research interest lies in electric engineering
C．the efforts to protect condors have brought good results
D．researchers have found the final answers to the problem組卷：10引用：2難度：0.5
