• 2．Most people can't live to 100．Those who do live so long can hardly walk，let alone take part in any activities．A few people，however，take part in dangerous activities even though they are more than 100 years old- They keep going and going!There is a great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 101 years old this year．
     Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly，take on all kinds of adventures while they physically still can．So，instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party，she decided to go paragliding（滑翔跳傘）- an idea she got from her 75-year-old son who recently took it up as a hobby．
     So on her birthday，cheered on by her big family，she tied herself up together with expert instructor Kevin Hintze，and jumped down fearlessly from the sky near her home in Ogden，Utah．And，it was not just a simple jump either．According to Kevin Hintze，the grandmother encouraged him to turn around，as they made their way down．
     This is not the first time that Mary has done something "wild" and "crazy"．For her 90th birthday she rode all the adult rides at Disneyland．And，she is not done yet- For her 102nd birthday she hopes to go down the 3，000 feet Alpine Slide at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort!
     Not surprisingly，this great action has made Mary Hardison very famous and also earned her a place in the Guinness World Records where she broke a 2007 record set by a 100-year-old British woman．What an amazing lady!

• 3．Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding.It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.
     The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling.When you see someone yawn，you are likely to yawn immediately.Smiling is also pretty contagious — seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.
     Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say "I am like you.I feel the same".Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust，understand and accept each other.
     Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals.Therefore，it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man.That's why women are regarded as better talkers，even if they might not really have more close friends.
     It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking，he may seem to her as caring，intelligent and attractive.
     Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly.If you want to set up a connection with a new person，mirror his or her gestures，sitting position，tone of voice and talking pace.This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.
     While mirroring body language gains you acceptance，you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring.If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss，he will view you as arrogant （傲慢的）.However，if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you，mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "contagious" in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．Attractive to the others.
  B．Powerful to show one's feelings.
  C．Affecting each other.
  D．Being gentle to people around.
  （2）When copying others' body language，one usually can

  .
  A．win others' acceptance
  B．hide true feelings
  C．send wrong messages
  D．a(chǎn)void misunderstanding
  （3）What might happen if you try to mirror your boss's body language？

  
  A．You will appear very attractive.
  B．You will seem unacceptably proud.
  C．It will help to soften his position.
  D．It will be a good way to build trust.
  （4）What is the main idea of the text？

  
  A．It is important to copy the others' gestures.
  B．Why women are regarded as better talkers.
  C．Men is not good at nonverbal communication.
  D．Mirroring body language can be a useful tool.

• 4．Students at Monument High School are participating in a unique activity called the Independent Project．The program is an"alternative"school that's completely run by students-no teachers，parents，or adults are allowed-and they're in charge of deciding their entire courses．What these teens study in the classroom and their homework are all entirely up to them．
  Students aren't taking this lightly-instead of reacting irresponsibly to the freedom to design their own studies，they're eagerly grasping their own interests by writing poetry collections，learning instruments and taking flight lessons．
  "I think the more choices we have in our schools，the more students we will help develop into the kind of citizens that we need，"Principal Marianne Young explains．"And that it's okay for you to need a little bit of a different approach from mine．"
  The only structure to the program is this：On Mondays students come up with questions that interest them about one of their school subjects，then they spend the rest of the week researching and coming up with potential conclusions to these inquiries．On Fridays，they present this information to their classmates．
  Teens express their satisfaction with the program because it accommodates different kinds of learners，even those who don't always succeed in a traditional academic sense．
  "I have dyslexia （閱讀障礙），so it's very hard reading and writing and doing those sorts of things．School has always been a big problem for me，"one student named Sergio explains．"If not for this program，I don't know if I'd be graduating--I don't know where I'd be right now．I think this has really been my savior and got me through the last two years of high school．"
  
  （1）What can we know about the Independent Project？

  
  A．Normal school courses are a must．
  B．It aims to help students with math．
  C．There're no teachers involved in it．
  D．Students must study courses at home．
  （2）According to Principal Marianne Young，

  ．
  A．more course choices will benefit top students
  B．different learning styles should be encouraged
  C．teachers play a key role in students'education
  D．knowledge can be better gained by discussions
  （3）What's teens'attitude towards the Independent Project？

  
  A．Doubtful．
  B．Cautious．
  C．Approving．
  D．Critical．
  （4）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．An unusual educational program．
  B．The benefits of interactive learning．
