Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.

“I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast(吹嘘).

“And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!”

George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.

Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast—but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned.

Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him?

George was very interested in old dictionaries. He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading.

“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.”

1. George and Richard were ______ at school.

A. competitors B. good friends C. roommates D. booksellers

2. George got information about Richard from ______.

A. a dictionary collector in Australia

B. Richard’s wife

C. a rare first edition of a dictionary

D. the wrapping paper of a book

3. How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance?

A. He envied Richard’s marriage.

B. He thought of Richard from time to time.

C. He felt lucky with no rival in town.

D. He was guilty of Richard’s death.

4.What happened to George and Richard in the end?

A. Both George and Richard became millionaires.

B. Both of them realized their original ambitions.

C. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success.

D. George established a successful business while Richard was missing.

When people ask me what Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症) is, I tell them it’s an extra chromosome(染色体). A doctor would tell you the extra chromosome causes an intellectual disability that makes it harder for me to learn things.

Even though I have Down Syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school. I think about the future, and I like the one who I’ll marry. And I get along with my sisters---except when they take CDs without asking! I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.

Some of my classes are with typical kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aid who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also challenge myself to do well. For instance, my goal was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade. That’s exactly what happened this year!

It’s true that I don’t learn some things as fast as other people do. But that won’t stop me from trying. I just know that if I work really hard and by myself I can do almost anything.

I can’t change the fact that I have Down Syndrome, but one thing I would change is what people think of me. I’d tell them, “Judge me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Treat me with respect, and accept me for who I am. The most important---just be my friend.”

1.A person with Down Syndrome ____________according to the passage.

A. can learn things almost as fast as normal people do

B. has one more chromosome than normal people

C. is hard to get along with

D. is easy to get along with

2.The writer tries to picture himself as a __________teenager.

A. normal B. perfect C. lovely D. special

3.The writer feels ________about his life.

A. confused B. hopeful C. unhappy D. curious

4.What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To prove people with Down Syndrome are a lot like healthy ones

B. To show the writer’s honesty and optimism

C. To change people’s attitude towards people with Down Syndrome

D. To describe the life of a student with learning disabilities

One thing the tour books don't tell you about London is that 2,000 0f its residents (屠民) are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home.

"The number and variety of wild animals in urban c城市的) areas is increasing," says Corner Jones. A survey of the wildlife in New York's Central Park last year counted 14 kinds of animals. A similar survey carried out in the 1890's counted only five kinds.

Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. First, the air and water quality in many cities have improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, and many animals have gone to the area outside the centre of a city. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处) have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent $ 750, 000 to buy land and build 10 permanent (永久性的) wildlife refuges in the city. As a result, many birds are now living in the city. By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life.

That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food.

Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The key is to create habitats where they are able to live happily. Such habitats can even be useful. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones keep the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. 2,000 foxes returning to London.

B. Wild animals living in zoos.

C. Wildlife returning to some larger cities.

D. The great enemy of wildlife.

2. It can be inferred from the passage that

A. Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos

B. Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city

C. Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside

D. Londoners have welcomed the wild birds, but found foxes a problem

3.According to the passage, the number of species of wildlife in New York's park .

A. is slowly going down

B. is the same as that in other cities

C. doesn't change too much

D. has more than doubled in the last century

4. Which of the following is NOT a reason why wildlife is returning to the cities?

A. There is plenty of food for wildlife in the city.

B. Wildlife enjoys being watched and fed in the cities.

C. More and more special living areas have been built for the wildlife.

D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities.

During these past few days I have been reflecting a lot on everything that happened this past year and thinking of what I can do differently so that the coming year will be much better! Here I want to share some tips so you can also do your resolution and you can achieve them all!

·Be realistic: You should always try to reach for the skies with your goals, but things like “I want to win the lottery(彩票)” or “I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month” are things you shouldn’t have on your list because they will only become frustrations.

·Be detailed: It’s a lot easier to accomplish more specific plans than general ones. Instead of writing “I want to lose weight,” put things like “I will start my Yes You Can! Diet Plan the first Monday of the year” or “I will start a movement routine 3 times a week for 35 minutes.” When we put down concrete activities, we commit ourselves to them and it becomes a lot harder to come up with excuses.

·Think of alternatives: At the beginning of this past year, you put that you were going to start going to the gym as one of your annual plans. During the whole year you intended to take action but you always said that you couldn’t because you came home so tired from work. If this is one of your plans for this year, you should write down how you’re going to achieve it. For example, “I will start going to the gym in the mornings, before work.” That way you prevent what stopped you from achieving your goal last year.

·Focus on goals which depend on YOU: It is very important that all of your plans are for YOU to accomplish, and it is important that you write them down that way. If one of your goals this coming year is to improve a relationship with one of your family members, make sure that you clearly put down what you are going to do for this to succeed. For example, “I will call my sister at least three times a week and I will visit her in the middle of the year.”

Well, I hope that you use these tips so that this year you will accomplish everything you want, and make it the best year ever! Thank you for being with me during everything this past year, and I hope that you keep showing me all of this love and support during the next. Happy new year!

1. Why isn’t “I want to win the lottery” recommended as a New Year plan?

A. Because it is very likely to fail.

B. Because it is too easy to realize.

C. Because it is not big enough as a goal.

D. Because it is not easier than losing weight.

2. The underlined word commit in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by the word_______.

A. devote B. determine C. adjust D. force

3.When you failed to accomplish your plan last year, you’re advised to ______.

A. take action instead of writing it down

B. give up the same plan this year

C. put down the way to realize it

D. stop making any plans

4.According to the passage, which of the following is the best plan?

A. I will become a millionaire in one month.

B. I want to be the champion of the marathon.

C. I will change all of my bad habits in one week.

D. I will go for a walk after supper in working days.

Entering a university is an important part of a person’s life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine or education. 1. . An important one started in Egypt over one thousand years ago.

The world’s oldest surviving university, AL-Azhar, is in Cario, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque for religion (宗教寺院) in A.D.972.

Leaders in the city of Cario decided to create a school for higher learning and soon after that, and AL-Azhar University was founded.

3. .For these teachers at AL-Azhar, they needed to think about what courses to teach and how to teach them. The earliest courses were in law and religion.

In the years that followed, the new university interested scholars from around the world. 4. .At AL-Azhar, people studied the past, but it was also a place for sharing new ideas.

Dear Alcohol,

You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused for me.

Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.

Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.

Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.

I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring(诱惑)in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.

Sincerely,

Anonymous
