1．根据短文内容选择正确答案。

B
      Is there anyone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate him. But you get really angry every time you think of him. If you don't let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness （痛苦）.
       Bitterness appears when we can't forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing （指责） him or her often, but we're really only hurting ourselves.
       Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
      If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
※Accept it
      Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
※Stop making excuses for it
     You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you're right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
※Forgive and forget it
      You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You'll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

    Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki's bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
    The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki's bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispers in a sweet voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” A few minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Get up at once, or you'll be late!”
    If you don't get up after the second recording, a mechanical “foot” in the bed will kick you on the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You're still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed and awake!
    Hiroyuki's bed is not in stores. There is only one bed－the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest. Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki's bed and sell it in stores.

7．阅读下列短文, 根据要求完成下列各题。

      Have you heard about “Survival （生存） Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to（被允许） take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
      The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
      Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults（成年人） disturbing （打扰） them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
      Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

（2）Why do people like “Survival Holidays”?
