第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Movies are a great means of entertainment for many. There are some advantages of watching movies. Comedies, for example, help reduce your blood pressure. Laughter for 15 minutes during a film makes your blood vessels (血管) wider. Besides, when you watch a sad movie, you’re more likely to come away from it thinking about loved ones and feeling happy about what you have.
Watching movies can make you creative. A study shows that young children, who watched the use of magic in Harry Potter, score significantly higher in a creative thinking test than children who watched something else. Moreover, movies are very useful for strengthening people’s mental health. They enable people to take time to really relax and temporarily forget about their daily concerns and problems.
However, watching movies aren’t always beneficial. Studies have shown that some people get real pleasure out of being scared by horror movies, but in various ways they may be risking their physical and mental health without even knowing it. When you watch a tense scene in a movie, your heart rate and blood pressure increase. Meanwhile this change in your brain chemistry reminds you of times when you were in a similar state, even if you have no idea you even had those memories. So if something horrible happens to you, being scared again by a movie can unintentionally make you experience it once more.
Scientists, politicians and parents have debated for decades if being exposed to movie violence leads to actual real-life violence. Overall the answer to that is probably still up in the air, but a new study seems to prove that watching aggression on screen can contribute to being a bully (土霸) in real life, even if it is just in the short term.
In conclusion, certain movies play a positive role, but not all movies do. It depends completely on the subject of the movie. So it’s always advisable to choose the movies concerning something positive.
1、How does watching sad movies benefit us according to the text?
A．It makes us content with our lives.
B．It rids us of unhappy memories.
C．It reduces our risk of illness.
D．It develops our creativity.
2、What can we infer about watching horror movies from the text?
A．It has more advantages than disadvantages.
B．It has gained popularity around the world.
C．Plenty of people ignore its health benefits.
D．All people don’t realize its disadvantages.
3、What does the underlined part “up in the air” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Meaningless. B．Attractive.
C．Uncertain. D．Obvious.
4、What does the author advise us to do to reduce the passive effect of movies?
A．Enjoy movies with more companions.
B．Make a wise choice of what to watch.
C．Try our best to watch movies less often.
D．Raise our ability to tell right from wrong.

B
Eighteen years ago, Terry Grahl, was pregnant with her fourth child. “Money was very tight.” Terry recalls. So when her mom called to ask if she'd like to go shopping at the local fabric( 布料)store for the coming Christmas, she couldn't say no because she knew she badly needed some fabrics to make new clothes for her children. “1 remember walking around, gazing at all this beautiful fabric, wondering whether there is anything cheap that I could afford And I could still get some money left to buy Christmas gifts for my family.”
Well, Terry’s mom must have known what Terry was thinking. Smiling kindly, she whispered to Terry, “You pick any fabrics you like. It’s your Christmas gift from me.” Terry’s eyes were filled with tears as the cart began to overflow with many fabrics, but not because Terry was planning on making herself a pretty dress or a pair of curtains for the kitchen. Rather, Terry’s mom's kindness had inspired some holiday gift ideas in Terry, and it didn’t take long for Terry to figure out what she was going to do with all that fabric.
“I was going to make my first quilt.” She explains. “Every night I would work on this queen-size quilt. With every stitch(一针), I thought about all that my mom had done for me over the course of my childhood, during which we were always battling homelessness, but Mom somehow managed to fill our lives with love and make everything okay.”
On Christmas day, five days after her baby girl was born, Terry handed her mom a gift box. Inside was the quilt she had sewn, from the fabric her mother had given her as a gift.
