阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I sat at my seat waiting for the school paper to be passed around. I waited anxiously, knowing that once I received it I would know how good a writer I really am.
When the paper arrived at my classroom, I nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. With the school paper in my hands, I returned to my seat. About a month earlier, I had handed in one of, what I believed to be, my best stories. I named it Symbol of Success. The head of the English Department at my school, Professor Cullen, had said that she would include some reviews (评论) of students' stories in the latest school paper. Professor Cullen was known for her rough criticism. Impressing her was very hard but I wanted to be the first to do so.
I sat at the edge of my seat as I read through the other story reviews. There wasn't one story that got more than three stars. I became calm and wasn't anxious to know my review. It was long after that I heard someone shout out “Five stars？！ Seriously！” from behind me. I turned around and saw the shocked expression of Gene's face, “Peter, your story got five stars！” I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen. She wrote that I had a gift for story writing.
I was proud that I achieved what I thought was impossible. For so long I believed I wasn't as good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of writing skills. But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing. The review and the five stars meant the world to me. Those five stars became the symbol of my success.

To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle Ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.
By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.
Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了伞最初产生时的用途以及后来的演化。
8．According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ancient ________.
A. China B. Egypt
C. Greece D. Rome
答案与解析　A　细节理解题。依据文章其次段其次句“Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.”可推断伞最初是在中国产生的。
9．Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?
A. No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella was.
B. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.
C. The umbrella changed much in style in the 18th century.

10．A strange feature of the umbrellA s use is that it was used as ________.
A. protection against rain
B. a shade against the sun

依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
__11__ If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and your ability to focus will increase. But if you never use your brain, or abuse it with harmful chemicals, your ability to think and learn will decrease. Here are some simple ways that may help you.
__12__
Don't you feel drained (劳累) after a couple of hours of watching TV? Your eyes are sore and tired of being focused on the light box for so long. When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you're too tired, listen to some music. When you're with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.
Exercise.
I used to think that I'd learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. __13__ It improves productivity (生产力) during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you can concentrate (专注) more easily.
Read challenging books.
If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability, you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more elegant English. __14__ Reread it when necessary, and you'll soon grow accustomed (习惯) to the author's style.
Early to bed, early to rise.
__15__ You'll be the most energetic if you go to bed early and don't sleep for more than 8 hours. In my experience the early morning hours are the most productive. If you have the opportunity, take a 10­20 minute nap (小憩) when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness (睡意)．
A. Take a time to reflect.
B. Reduce television watching.
C. Spending some time alone will be helpful.
D. Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle (肌肉)．
E. Don't be afraid to look up a word if you don't know it.
F. Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep loss.
G. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning.
