题目内容
In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining (请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party or just for coffee and conversation (谈话).
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes:
“Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?” “Hey, we’re having a party on Friday. Can you come?”
To reply (回答) to an invitation , either say ‘thank you’ and accept (接受), or say you’re sorry and give an excuse. “Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry . I’ve tickets for a movie.”
Sometimes, however, people use expressions (习惯用语) that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations . For example; “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why not get together for a party sometime?” “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?”
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention (提到) a certain time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK. Yes, thanks.”
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, it’s a very dangerous sport that people should be careful about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is cushioned by the water below—this could not be further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph (miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very important.
Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never dive because a diver’s body position at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety. Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves.
Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive. To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and vertical. This is safer because it makes the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less stress on the body.
Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good idea, they actually increase the force of impact because they increase the surface area of the diver at impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a diver’s body and can lead to broken bones. Without a doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go.
Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a person’s physical and mental skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. What’s more, a person should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive.
【小题1】What does “this could not be further from the truth” mean?
A.There’s no doubt that this idea is definitely true. |
B.This idea is thought to be completely wrong. |
C.It depends on the real situation on the spot. |
D.Nobody knows whether this idea is true or not. |
A.Because wearing shoes can put more weight on to the diver |
B.Because wearing shoes can cause the diver to feel uncomfortable |
C.Because wearing shoes can make the point of contact bigger |
D.Because wearing shoes can certainly lead to broken bones |
A.well-prepared and skillful | B.professional and strong |
C.creative and smarty | D.confident and brave |

What’s the most important thing in your life? Have you thought about this question?
I began to think about it when I was just a little girl. I had a lot of friends and I loved playing with them. So I thought friendship was the most important thing in life. If I had no friends, I would be very sad.
When I got older, I thought the most important thing was music. I was crazy about music at that time. In my opinion, if I couldn’t sing or couldn’t listen to music, my life would be meaningless.
As time went by, I changed my mind again. When I was 12, I read a book that tells a beautiful story about the love between a mother and her child. I was happy to find that love was the most important thing. I thought love made my life beautiful.
Not long ago, I got a new answer to the question from another book. The writer said, “happiness is the destination for everyone.”
Soon I realized that, in fact, friendship, music, love and happiness are all very important to us. There are many important things that make our lives colourful and beautiful.
What’s the most important thing in life? I don’t have the answer yet. However, in fact, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life. And I believe I will be very happy if I can achieve that.
I hope everyone can find the important things in their lives, and cherish them!
