Years ago my husband and I were in Acapulco, Mexcio, and we wanted to go to the local open-air market, “Mercado”, but the taxi took us to Walmart. When we told him that we wanted to go where the locals shopped, the driver took us to Safeway, a supemarket. I explained that I was a cook and wanted to see local fruits, vegetables and spices at a big open-air market. He said it wasn’t safe but he’d drive by so we could look from the taxi. We were going to miss the adventure across the street. But, when the taxi stopped in traffic, we got out and began an afternoon of exploring.

After about an hour we came to a stall (货摊) where an old woman was selling cacao (可可豆). I wondered what the locals did with the cacao. My husband spoke Spanish and tried to translate, but the woman was speaking fast and using a lot of local “food words”. No matter how much she smiled, nodded and waved her hands, her words meant nothing to us.

Finally, she took my hand，left her stall，and walked us through the market for a few minutes. She brought us to a couple of women who were pouring a liquid back-and-forth between two of 5-gallon buckets (桶). She found some glasses and they poured us some fresh chocolate.

Now we were faced with a dilemma. Could we refuse the drink so generously offered? We had a quick low-voiced chat about the safety of the drinking water in Mexico. Neither of us wanted to make the women offering the drink unhappy. It was an offer, and no payment was accepted, even after we tried.

We drank. The chocolate drink was slightly sweet. We never got sick. We also began taking sortie medicine as soon as we got back to our room. We were polite, not stupid.

22. Why did the taxi driver refuse to take the author and her husband to the “Mercado”？

A. Because the market was not open that day.

B. Because he was worried about their safety.

C. Because they did not pay him enough money.

D. Because the prices of things there were too high.

23. What can we know about the old woman from the passage?

A. She was kind and friendly.

B. She asked for a lot of money for the drink.

C. She was eager to sell her cacao to the author.

D. She pretended not to understand the author’s husband.

24. What does the underlined word “dilemma” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A. A warm feeling.

B. An unexpected gift.

C. An exciting moment.

D. A difficult, often embarrassing situation.

25. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The author didn’t think the chocolate safe to drink.

B. The author wanted to go to the supermarket for shopping.

C. The author’s husband could understand the old woman well.

D. The author refused to drink the chocolate offered by the women.

    11    We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it's our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

  1. Identify and understand what you want to change. The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed.   12   When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

2.    13   

We all need to know that what we're trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

3. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life. To be able to overcome all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life. Will changing your attitude mean a happier family or social life? Will a change in your attitude mean a more successful career or business? Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal.

4. Choose the right company. As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life.     14     

    5.   15   Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don't believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

A. Believe that you are able to change.

B. Look for a role model.

C. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends.

D. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.

E. Our personalities and attitudes are developed through our relationships and experiences.

F. It is right to try hard to have a strong mind.

G. Our attitude towards life determines life's attitude towards us.

If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.

So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.

Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.

32. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________

A. provide some key facts about Confucius

B. attract the readers’ interest in the subject

C. show great respect for the ancient thinker

D. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

33. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______

A. have a great interest in studying Chinese

C. try to get high scores in Chinese exams          

D. fight for a chance to learn Chinese

34. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Forgotten Wisdom in America                     

B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language

C. Chinese Culture for Westerners                 

D. Old Thinker with a Big Future

A. a science book                                                 B. a history paper

pays more attention to her. So I disliked her and couldn’t get along well with her. As time

went on, I realized what ridiculous I had been at that time. I tried to find a proper time to

apologize. When my cousin’s family came to my home a few day ago, I took my cousin to

play outside. In the way to the playground, I had bought many snakes for her. Then we

began to chat. When we talked about their childhood, suddenly, I said “sorry” gentle. She

was silent, so I thought that she hadn’t heard me clearly. But after while she said, “ Don’t

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.
    Mother’s Day was proclaimed a day for national observance(庆祝) by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.
    In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Father’s Day as a national commemorative day, in 1972.
    These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.
    These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead．Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

Lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather．But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take great care．Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning．

Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:

At the Lake or Pond

○Don't let little kids swim alone without adult supervision— lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore．

○Ponds and lakes may hide jagged（锯齿状的） rocks, broken glass, or rubbish．

○Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water, they should wear socks or water shoes．

○Watch out for weeds and grass in the water that could trap a leg or arm．

○Most boating accidents, particularly among teenagers, are related to alcohol（饮酒）．Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol, on and off the water．

At the Beach

○Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty．Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool, the beach has special dangers like currents and tides（暗流）．Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions．

○Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over．

○Teach kids that if they're caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim parallel（顺行地） to the shore or should tread （踩）water and call for a lifeguard's help．

Whether at the lake or at the beach, teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather, especially lightning．
