7、The earliest immigrants to North America found Indians already living there．The Indians numbered about 500,000 at that time．Their society was a primitive society,but they lived peacefully and welcomed the white strangers to the land．However,these early immigrants from Europe didn't want to share the land with the natives．They killed off many of the Indians,seized their land or pushed them off to lands farther away．Today the Indians,not more than half a million,live in poverty and misery on the land on which they were once masters.
The earliest immigrants were the Spanish,who settled in the southern part of what is now the US．The next large group were the English,after the English came the French,Dutch,Irish,Germans,and other nationality groups,mostly European.
Another early group to arrive were the Negroes．But they were brought in as slaves from Africa．They didn't win freedom till generations later.
Which is the best title of this passage?

8、You have been badly injured in a car accident．It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident．However,special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you．If the blood is too different from your own,the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood;A,B,AB and O．A simple test can indicate a person's blood type．Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood．Blood type,like hair color and height,is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type,the four groups must be trans fused carefully．Basically,A and B cannot be mixed．A and B cannot receive AB,but AB may receive A or
B．O can give to any other group,hence it is often called the universal donor．For the opposite reason,AB sometimes called the universal recipient．However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions,patients usually receive only salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital．In this way,it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality．Among Europeans and people of European ancestry,about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O．The rarest is type A
B．Other races have different percentages．For example,some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.
People with type A blood can receive__.

9、Scotland provides superb opportunities to enjoy wild and grand scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest．It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life,a good mix of accommodation and places to eat and drink．Friendly and welcoming,it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination,where landscapes and the environment,sport and leisure pursuits,heritage and history,culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience.
The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is:one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside．This is not to say that Scotland,like everywhere else,does not have its tourist traps,its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots．But it is relatively easy to escape from them.
It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England.
Indeed,no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots．They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years,and many differences between the two countries persist.
Scotland's history,embodied in its castles,battlefields,and ancient links with France,Flanders and Scandinavia,is special.
In Scotland,tourists__.

10、When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on．I put up with her as long as I could．At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly．Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
True?I wanted to know how to strike back．What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change．
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it.
"That's just for you,"he said．"You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it．But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt．When something said about you is true you'll know it．You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．
What did the girl do when she could no longer bear her enemy?

11、Can animals be made to work for us?Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.
They point out that at a circus,for example,we may see elephants,monkeys,dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things．Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film．If you watch closely,you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward．The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.
Of course,as we know,dogs can be used to guard a house,and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near．But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories．In Russia,for example,pigeons which are birds with good eyesight,are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory．When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others,it touches a steel plate with its beak．This turns on a light to warn people in the factory．At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward．It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour.
Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars,and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.
The trainer usually gives the animal a piece of candy or fruit__.

12、Key James,Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government,loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class,conservative,educated and still be truly black．Once,during an abortion debate,a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life．"If you understood what these women go through,"the woman said,"you would realize that abortion is their only choice."
James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare．She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family．Now she discovers another child is on the way．"How would you counsel that woman?"asked James.
"Have an abortion,"the woman responded．"That child would have a very poor quality of life."
"I have a vested interest in your answer,"James said．"The woman I described was my mother．I was the fifth of six children born into poverty．And,in case you're interested,the quality of my life is just fine!"
James'father__.

13、Many people use wood stoves and fireplaces to heat their homes．Scientists have become worried about the smoke that they give off．Harmful chemicals are in the smoke．The smoke is causing air pollution．The pieces of pollution,called soot,are floating in the air．They are too tiny to see．Scientists must use a microscope to see them.
Small amounts of soot are safe,but large amounts can be dangerous．The govenment wants to limit this kind of pollution．It may stop people from using their fireplaces.
The air is tested every day．When soot levels are high,more than 65 micrograms of soot per cubic meter,factories must stop making smoke．The government thinks that limit should be much lower.
Factories produce the most smoke and soot．But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited．The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited．Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they comply with the new law．Or,they may not be able to bum on days when the air quality is bad.
Residents of some towns are fined if they violate the burning ban．Scientists hope these new regulations will make the air cleaner and less harmful to breathe.
Why is it dangerous to burn too much wood?

19、Vegans try to live, as much as possible, in a way that avoids exploiting and being cruel to animals.“his means following a plant-based diet. Vegans do not eat animals or animal-based products like meat, fish, seafood, eggs, honey and dairy products such as cheese. For many vegans, living a committed vegan lifestyle means not wearing clothes made from animal skins and avoiding any products which have been tested on animals.Vegans argue that suffering is caused in the production of these foods. For example, they say that, on some dairy farms, male calves(小牛)are killed because they are too expensive to keep, and cows are killed when they get older and produce less milk. As for honey, vegans say that bees make honey for bee, not for humans, and that bees’health can suffer when humans take the honey from them. Vegans be lieve that the products they use and consume should be free from not just cruelty but any exploitation of animals.The main reason for going vegan is probably that they believe animals and all other sentient(有感知能力的)beings should have the right to life and freedom. However, there are other reasons. Vegans argue that the production of meat and other animal products is very bad for the environment. They point out that a huge quantity of water is needed to grow grain to feed animals in the meat industry. The enormous amount of grain which the meat industry needs often leads to forests being cut down and habitats(栖息地)being lost. In contrast, much lower quantities of grain and water are needed to sustain a vegan diet. In addition, many vegans say that all the nutritious elements our bodies need are contained in a carefully planned vegan diet and that this type of diet helps prevent some diseases.What belief do vegans hold?

42、Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.1.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)__________
