When I was young, I always helped my grandfather in the fields. As I worked beside him, he        to tell a story about a man named Joe, and his wife, who moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were setting into the new place        a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the earth. Joe was very       , and told his sons about it.
They began to dig in one corner, and they got to the end of the field. At the same time, Joe thought he would        some crops where the earth had been       . The plants included corn, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. His sons continued to dig through the soil, made up their mind to find the gold. Since        soil was being turned, Joe could plant more crops. Joe had never farmed before, but it had always been his       .
As different crops came ready to be harvested, Joe started to        that there were more vegetables than he and his family could ever       . One of Joe’s neighbors suggested that he        a vegetable shop. Joe and his wife did that very thing. They called it Joe and Family Vegetable. Joe even had to leave some crops in the fields,        he had more than enough to supply the vegetable shop.
This went on for years, and Joe and his wife became quite        from their little vegetable shop. They were even able to        their sons to college.
Remember the beginning of the story, when Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe’s       of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbor friend actually meant that his land had rich       . So you can see where the concept(概念)of gold comes from.

In the summer of 2011 my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would not be seen among the tourists and lose lots of chances to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and tried to come up with a free tour to Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was so exciting that we never forgot. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially worried about my visa, but everything went quite well in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate (领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far earlier. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the centre of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the centre of Rome. Our big house was among the forest. The beautiful views, nice hosts, comfortable living conditions made us happy to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our hostess was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoy travelling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book wherever we wanted to go and we even met some of our countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you’re also planning a “single” trip, don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their local language.
小题1:From the passage, we know the writer chose the free tour to Italy because ______.
A.his friend invited him there
B.he wanted to spend less money
C.it was very hard for him to find a travel agency
D.he wanted to get familiar with the country more closely
小题2:The hardest thing in preparing for his Italian trip was ______.

A.How did the writer prepare for his trip?
B.Why did the writer decide to go to Italy for a holiday?
C.What transport did the writer choose for his travelling?
D.Why did the writer decide not to go through a travel agency?

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.
In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.
There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.
Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams. Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.
小题1:China Youth says that more and more ______.
A.boys are clever than girls
B.boys can’t go to school
C.girls have entered colleges
D.girls begin to study at school
小题2:42.14% refers to(指) the number of ______.

C.boys at schools in 2001
D.boys in colleges in 1998
小题3:The writer gave us ______ reasons to explain the question.
A.twoB.threeC.fourD.five
小题4:What does the underlined word “proportion” mean in Chinese?
A.身高B.比例
C.特性D.速度
小题5:Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A.Boys may not do well in their study as girls because they don’t like studying.
B.Boys are much cleverer than girls because they’re interested in many things.
C.Girls’ intelligence is the same as boys’.
D.Girls study harder, but they couldn’t get higher marks than boys.
There are two main kinds of sports. These two kinds of sports are team sports and individual (个人的) sports. Team sports are such sports as baseball, basketball, and volleyball. Team sports need two separate (独立的) teams. The teams play against each other. They compete against each other to get the best score. For example, in a football game, if team A gets 8 points and team B gets 4 points, team A wins the game. Team sports are sometimes called competitive (竞争性的) sports.
Another kind of sports is individual sports. In individual sports there are no teams. There isn’t any competition. People play individual sports in order to get some exercise, not to win a game. Individual sports are such sports as swimming, skiing, and running.
Of course, it is possible (可能的) to compete in individual sports. It is possible to keep a score in individual sports. The main difference, however, between team sports and individual sports is that individual sports can be finished alone. But team sports always need more than one person.

My dad used to say he knew I would be a singer. When I was a baby, I was always singing loudly. Dad was a big sports fan, but he was happy I loved music.
After dinner, Dad would often ask me to sing. He always said I sang I Will Always Love You much better than Whitney Houston!
At every school concert he cheered me on. The look of pride on his face made me happy.
My life was full of concerts, singing lessons and laughter. Though my mum and brothers helped me, they did not share our love for music.
Our lives changed when Dad was told that he had cancer. We always hoped that something would happen and he would get better, but the doctors told us that they could not save him.
About a week before my dad died, he fell into a coma (昏迷). The nurses said even though Dad did not reply, he could still hear me.
The nurses said I should sing him a song. I sang one of our favorites. As I sang, my dad gave a big smile, and clapped (鼓掌).
I will always remember that smile. I was so pleased to know that Dad had heard me sing one more song.
My dad died on May 14, 2000. It was hard to believe: he was so full of life. I don’t know how to say how much I miss him.
Now I have all the memories of him and his beautiful smile deep inside my heart. I will always know that he is listening from his front row seat in heaven.
He used to say: “Sing from your heart.”
My dad has been and will always be my hero.
