One afternoon Jack is walking down a river alone. It was very cold and on the river few boat could be seen. When he stopped on the bridge and look down, he saw a terrible scene. A boy fell out a boat and was struggling in the water. Without think about himself, Jack jumped into the river to save a boy. He was about to drag the boy to the river bank then he saw some people stand in a motor boat under the bridge. One of them stared at Jack and said angry, “We are making a film and they have spoiled a whole afternoon’s work!”
Just a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off. I had my iPod in place and a new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice: “The ground crew has found a metal instrument in one tire. We regret that we must cancel this flight.”
The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting. One man close to me began to argue with a flight attendant. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers responded differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments. A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said: “Hey, it’s not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them, the wisest among us who has a remarkable ability to maintain grounded(稳定的) when times get tough.
No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t. We all must face challenges, both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances(外部环境). We always have the choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.
That’s grace under pressure. My seatmate was right — things could have been so much worse. Anyway, I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work I love and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.
1. What caused the passengers’ different reactions?
A. The loudspeaker. B. The delay of the flight.
C. The ground crew’s fault. D. The pilot’s announcement.
2. Who turned his anger on the seat?
A. A teenager helping the disabled. B. An old man taking bags down.
C. A man in a black suit. D. A man close to the author.
3. What did the woman sitting next to the author do?
A. She assisted a disabled woman. B. She made a phone call to her family.
C. She helped others carry their luggage. D. She told moving stories to her children.
4. What can we learn from the story?
A. Our life is full of ups and downs.
B. It is natural to be scared under pressure.
C. We should help each other in times of difficulty.
D. We should be positive and calm when life is hard.

In today’s fiercely competitive business environment，companies need to communicate information concerning a whole range of issues in a clear and precise manner to their customers. This is particularly so in the case of companies which do business in areas such as manufacturing, information technology (IT)，engineering products and services—companies whose products and services may not be understood by a customer not familiar with its technical aspects．
These communication materials are prepared in a company these days by “technical writers”—people who can effectively communicate to an intended audience.
Technical writing and writing text-books are poles apart．The former is aimed at those who do not have an in-depth knowledge about a product and therefore should be direct and easy to understand．Too many technical terms would only add to the confusion of the customer．Technical writers first need to understand the technical information themselves，before trying to communicate it in easier language to the customers．Even graduates of English literature are often found wanting when it comes to creative and effective writing.
This simply means that those with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature along with a diploma/degree in Journalism and having a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) are ideal (理想的) candidates for being employed as technical writers.
A career in technical writing is seen as a good choice for women mainly because it is widely held that women are more gifted in creative writing than men and the job does not involve too much travelling or working at night．
8．What are “technical writers” supposed to do?
A．To write about the company’s products or services in clear，easy language．
B．To write about the company’s products using correct technical terms．
C．To effectively communicate to an intended audience by writing letters．
D．To travel around to persuade people to buy the company’s products or services．
9．Which of the following best explains the underlined word “wanting” in Paragraph 3?
A．being needed． B．wanting to write．
C．hoping to be employed． D．lacking in ability．
10．What would happen if many technical terms are used in technical writing?
A．It would sound too formal． B．It would h elp engineers a lot．
C．It would confuse the customer． D．It would produce a better effect．
11．Who would be the best candidate for a technical writer?
A．A man with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA．
B．A female with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA．
C．A male graduate of English literature with a diploma in Journalism．
D．A woman with a degree in English literature along with a diploma in Journalism．
Once there lived a rich man 71 wanted to do something for the people of his town. 72 first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.
In the centre of the main road into the town, he placed 73 very large stone. Then he 74 (hide) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow. “Who put this stone in the centre of the road？” said the old man，but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. 75 man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of them complained about the stone but not tried to remove 76. Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone，77 (say) to himself: “The night 78 (be) very dark. Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.”
Then he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his 79 (strong) to move it，only 80 (find) a bag of money under the stone. Imagine how surprised he was!

Dos and Don’ts for USA Travel
Despite what difficult procedures (程序) you may have to get to the U.S, including visa troubles, airport safety checks, and something else like these, the United States is a quite relaxing place once you arrive. 16 Following are basic tips about traveling in the USA.
Don’t try to see and do too much.
17 Many foreign visitors to the United States try to see New York, Washington DC, Miami, and Los Angeles all in one trip. That kind of touring can leave a traveler very tired if you have limited vacation days. The best way is to focus on a place and more deeply.
18
While traveling in the United States, do be sure to smile, ask questions, say “please” and “thank you”, and be patient. In almost all cases, your kindness will be rewarded by locals who want to show you the best of their cities and towns.
Do obey traffic signs and laws.
Traveling outside of the United States, I have noticed that stop lights and “No Parking” signs in some parts of the world are only suggestions for drivers. Not in America. Drivers must come to a full stop at a red light and remain stopped until the light turns green. 19
Do be on time.
America takes punctuality very seriously. 20 Give yourself more time than you think you’ll need to get to some place, especially if you’re not familiar with the area as unexpected delays can happen, such as heavy traffic.
A. It is considered rude to be late.
B. Besides, drivers should obey the speed limit.
C. Do be kind, smile, and enjoy yourself.
D. Don’t think you can smoke anywhere.
E. United States is very large.
F. Try to use the vocabulary they use in their everyday life.
G. But we do have a few rules that foreign visitors may not know about.
