Recently, I notice something unpleasant in our school. Some students littered free while cleaners took pains to sweep the floor. To fight so bad behaviors, our class held a meeting theme “To care about our environment, start from ourselves”. We discussed heatedly after we agreed on one solution. From the next day on, we were divided into group to collect rubbish on every morning before class. Our deed got a thumb up from our teacher. He said we served as example for the students to help keep the school clean. We also felt meaningful to shoulder our responsibility for the environment around them.

Last week I stopped at a red light. To my left stood a young woman. She had a 

look of ___41___on her face, ragged clothes, and a sign that ___42___,"Just need a 

little help. Thank you.”I was___43___ drawn to her. I had no cash in my__44__.

Instead, I gathered all the change I had in my car. I rolled my___45___ down. "Hi,

What’s your name?” I asked. "Joyce,”she ___46___with caution in her voice. "Hi,Joyce, I’m Kelley.”I ___47___ my arm to give her a handshake. She unwillingly__48___my hand. "It’s nice to meet you.I wish I had ___49___ to help you but this is all I have 

right now.” She pleasantly___50___her hands and ___51___ the coins. She started

telling me how their house was burned down last year and they ___52___ everything.

With no insurance and both losing their jobs, they were starting over.

   All week I drove by that place hoping to see Joyce and give her more. One week 

later, I was the first in ___53___at the red light and as I ___54___ the light I smiled.

There was Joyce. I asked her what her ___55___were. She said that one of her relativeslived in Texas and ___56___a few rental houses, and she had agreed to let them stay in one  until they got ___57___. "I have a little something to help you___58___there,”

and I gave her a 20-dollar bill. "We all need a little help every now and then,don’t we?”We both smiled and nodded in ____59____.

  Who knows if I’ll ever see her again？But I know at that moment she smiled and    she knew that things really were going to get better for her. And seeing her smile and   the hope in her eyes is what I needed to ___60___my trouble in life.

The person who knows how to write a personal letter has a very powerful tool. A letter can set up a warm conversation   41     two people far apart (远离的); it can keep a   42   （friend）with

very little effort.

    A few years ago my older brother and I were not getting along. Our meetings were not   43  （pleasure）; our conversation was filled with arguments and quarrels; and every effort to clear the air seemed to only deepen our misunderstanding. Then he moved to a small island and we lost touch. One day he wrote me a letter. He described his island and    44   ( it) people, told me what he was doing, said how he felt, and encouraged me to   45   (write). Rereading the letter, I    46    (drive) by its humor and clever expressions. I had never known he could write so well. And with that one letter we became friends again.

     It might never have  47    (occur) to my brother to write me if he had not been in a place

    48     there were no phones. Writing turned out to be the best way for us to get back in touch. Because we live in    49   age of easy communication, people often forget that they don't always have to phone    50    email.

If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday, which one would you prefer, a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?

According to Science Daily, about one-third of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip. These people are called "materialists", namely, those who value material goods more than experiences. But which of the two choices makes people happier?

Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day. Experiences, on the other hand, can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.

But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn't they?

To figure it out, Howell did another study. He classified a group of adults according to their personality types, ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic. Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.

As expected, the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic, because such purchases didn't fit with their personalities and values. But to Howell's surprise, he found that materialists weren't any happier even if they spent money on material items.

This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look clown on their choices. "There are certain value systems that are rejected by society," said Howell. "When we find out someone is materialistic, we think less of them, and that drives their happiness down.”

Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don't have instead of what they have now. This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.

If you happen to be a materialistic person, there's something you can try. "If materialists make more accurate purchases, rather than trying to impress others, they will be happier, “Howell said.

You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."

32. What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?

A. Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.

B. About one-third of the people prefer material goods to experiences.

    C. Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences.

    D. Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.

33. What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?

    A. How to judge whether a person is a materialist.

    B. Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.

    C. How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.

    D. Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.

34. Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher's words in the last paragraph?

    A. To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.

    B. To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.

    C. To prove it's unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.

    D. To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.

35. What can be the best title for the passage?

    A. Are You a Materialist?

    B. How To Acquire Happiness?

    C. The Best Present For the Birthday

    D. Which Can Make People Happier?

For hundreds of millions of years, turtles (海龟) have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPS satellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings (幼龟) down to the water’s edge lest (for fear that) they become disoriented by headlights and crawl towards a motel parking lot instead. A formidable wall of bureaucracy has been erected to protect their prime nesting on the Atlantic coastlines. With all that attention paid to them, you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct (die out).

　　But Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of North Atlantic turtles, notably loggerheads, which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florida nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% in the last decade, according to Elizabeth Griffin, a marine biologist with the environmental group Oceana. The figures prompted Oceana to petition the government to upgrade the level of protection for the North Atlantic loggerheads from “threatened” to “endangered”—meaning they are in danger of disappearing without additional help.

　　Which raises the obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway? It turns out, according to Griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting the turtles for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. “The threat is from commercial fishing,” says Griffin. Trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and longline fishers (which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) take a heavy toll on turtles.

Of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龙) will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.

27. We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.

A．human activities have changed the way turtles survive

B．efforts have been made to protect turtles from dying out

C．government bureaucracy has contributed to turtles’ extinction

D．marine biologists are looking for the secret of turtles’ reproduction

28.What does the author mean by “Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness” (Line 1, Para. 2)?

A．Nature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles.

B．Turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities.

C．The course of nature will not be changed by human interference.

D．The turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection.

29. What constitutes a major threat to the survival of turtles according to Elizabeth Griffin?

A．Their inadequate food supply.          B．Unregulated commercial fishing.

C．Their lower reproductively ability.       D．Contamination(pollution) of sea water

30. How does global warming affect the survival of turtles?

A．It threatens the sandy beaches on which they lay eggs.

B．The changing climate makes it difficult for their eggs to hatch.

C．The rising sea levels make it harder for their hatchlings to grow.

D．It takes them longer to adapt to the high beach temperature.

Leonardo da Vinci's mother may have been a Chinese slave according to a new research by an Italian historian and novelist-Angelo Paratico, who has spent the last 20 years living and working in Hong Kong，researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half century.

Mr. Paratico said the documents he has uncovered during two years of research form the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci, a Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance (文艺复兴) Italy. The book, which is due to be published next year, uncovers evidence that there's a link between Da Vinci and the Far Fast.

Speaking to the South China Morning http://w|ww?.wln%100.com 未来脑教学云平台@Post, Mr. Paratico said, “I am sure that Leonardo's mother was from the East, but to make her a Chinese, we need to use a deductive method (演绎法).

One wealthy client of Leonardo's father had a slave called Caterina. After Leonardo's date of birth, she disappeared from the documents. She was no longer working there.”

It is believed that his mother was called Caterina, who, according to some reports, was a local peasant. But Mr. Paratico's new work claims it is most likely that Da Vinci's mother was a slave.

Supporting his theory, he said, "During the Renaissance, countries like Italy and Spain were full of slaves from the East.”

He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vinci's life and works which suggest a Chinese link. For instance, he was writing with his left hand from left to right and he was also a vegetarian, which was not common. Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother, as Sigmund Freud said in 1910. On the back of Mona Lisa, there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese.

Mr. Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to dig out some of Da Vinci's relations in Florence and extract some DNA.

1．Mr. Paratico has stayed in Hong Kong for 20 years to_________.

A.study Da Vinci's mother

B.explore the connection of Italy and China

C.find Da Vinci's mother is a slave

D.research China and Mona Lisa

2．What is Mr. Paratico's latest book based on？

3．Which aspect may suggest there is a link between Da Vinci and Chinese？

Forest are amazing and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?

Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them — the millipede(千足虫).

The importance of leaves

When the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.

Food on the forest floor

Some living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where the millipede can help.

More on the menu

The millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.

So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.

8. According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede?

A. It can often be seen on TV shows.

B. It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.

C. It is too small to be noticed by people.

D. It lives under mushrooms in the forest.

9. What does the underlined word "decompose" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Break down.

B. Dry up.

C. Dig in.

D. Make out.

10. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning mushrooms?

A. The millipede eats mushrooms in the forest.

B. The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.

C. Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out.

D. Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat.

11. According to the author, the millipede is        .

A. poisonous

B. rare

C. unimportant

D. amazing

 _______ for old men to read newspapers, but it is also a great way to improve their minds.

   Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.

My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.

I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.

When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”

I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).

But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.

My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件）from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The lost was $25 instead of $80.

Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.

These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.

I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.

My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.

28. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?

A. To avoid becoming his clone.             B. To resemble him in appearance.

C. To develop in a different direction.       D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.

29. What can we learn about the author’s children?

A. His daughter does better in school.         B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.

C. His son tried hard to finish homework.    D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.

30.In the author’s eyes, motorheads are _______.

A. tidy and hardworking         B. cheerful and smart

C. lazy but bright            D. relaxed but rude

31. What did the author realize in the end?

A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.

B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.

C. Architects play a more important role than builders.

D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.

Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.The smaller dolphin Grace, shown off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she’s even swimming at all. She doesn’t have a tail.

Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it - but her tail didn’t. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.

Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way---like a fish! She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.

The movement put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone. So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.

The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).”

Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focus on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
    In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
    She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”
    I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
    In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
    Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students. My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up
    I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “ See what you can do when you keep trying”

Bethany Meilani Hamilton was born on February 8, 1990 Kauai, Hawaii, where she grew up with two older brothers. Hamilton's parents were both surfers and they started teaching Bethany how to surf at a young age, and she learned quickly with the support of her brothers. By age 8, Bethany was winning first place in surfing contests for her age group. Hamilton began competing more seriously at the age of nine, winning several more competitions in her age group.

On October 31, 2003, while surfing with friends near Tunnels Beach, a 14-foot tiger shark attacked her. Bethany said, "My arm was hanging in the water, and it just came and bit me. It kind of pulled me back and forth. But I just held onto my board and then the shark let go." The shark tore off Bethany's left arm just below her shoulder. Hamilton's friends rushed her to the hospital. Bethany made it through several surgeries without infection (感染), and miraculously survived even though she had lost almost 60% of her blood. The doctor said that her athletic training helped her to survive the attack and blood loss.

While she was healing, Bethany thought for a while that she might not surf again. She was concerned that it would be much harder to stand up on the board using only one hand and that her balance would be completely off. But with hard work and determination she returned to surfing. She says, "It's hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode a wave in for the first time after the attack.  I was greatly thankful and happy inside. The tiny bit of doubt that would sometimes tell me 'you'll never surf again' was gone in one wave !"

As for fear of another shark attack, Bethany says that sometimes her heart pounds when she sees a shadow (阴影) under the water. But she believes that faith provides hope and a future for those who feel down and defeated in their lives.

Bethany's popularity and hope for the future led her to partner with World Vision to create "Surfing for Children in Crisis".  Bethany hopes that her involvement in the campaign will help provide disabled children from around the world with care, support, and hope.
