17．When I first started university，I remembered hearing about bone marrow（骨髓）donation during Freshman's Week．Some students volunteers from a group called Marrow tried to convince me to attend an event so I could learn more about it．The word"bone"immediately made me think that donating would be a painful procedure，so I refused． Back then，there was no way I could have known three years later，I would be one of the many people that desperately needs a bone marrow donor to save their lives．
I am currently waiting to be matched with a donor and if I am lucky enough to find a good match，it will be this lovely stranger that saves my life．I received my cancer diagnosis in June．It is only at that time that I realized how ignorant I had been about the bone marrow donation process．
The process of donating stem cells is actually very simple．In 90% of cases，donors are asked to donate their blood stem cells，the other 10% will give their bone marrow．Lots of donors say that both these things are virtually pain free，and nothing to be scared about．Being a bone marrow donor should be something to be proud of，as every donor has an opportunity to save someone's life!
At the moment I know that the doctors are busy searching for a match，I simply live every day in the hope that there will be a donor right for me．If I have an opportunity for life，I won't waste it．
When I was a first year at university，I made the mistake of walking away from becoming a stem cell donor．Please don't make the same mistake that I did．There are so many people out there，including myself，that need your help； and by undergoing a simple，pain-free procedure，you could have the chance to proudly say that you saved someone's life．

Last summer，Li Hua and his classmates made a trip to London．On his arrival at the airport，it was raining heavy．So they took a bus to the hotel，where was not far from the airport．The next day，they can't wait to see the wonderful place of interest in London．They first went to the Elizabeth Tower，a symbol of United Kingdom．The guide told them the tower had been appeared in many films．Then they visit the British Museum．To their great surprise，they found many Chinese artworks displayed there．Felt very proud，they took a lot of photos but they really had great fun．
8．When Regina Spektor moved to the Bronx from Russia as a young child of 9，she could speak no English and her family was so poor that they could afford nothing．Yet she carried with her a love of the piano and music．
"For me，the thing that I loved the most was playing the piano，so when we left Russia I was so afraid I would forget how to play and I would just find a little table and play my pieces，"she told"When you spend your life doing something like playing the piano and then you take that away，it's so surreal．"（离奇的）
Her father，Ilya Spektor，said that，little by little，the family saved enough money to afford their first apartment．
"I was a photographer and，in six weeks，I found my first job in a big photo lab in Manhattan，"he said．On the subway one day，Ilya Spektor spotted a man carrying a violin case．The man also seemed to have an Eastern European accent．A conversation led to a visit and，eventually，Regina Spektor was introduced to Sonia Vargas，a piano teacher．She was a well-known professor who taught piano，took Spektor under her wing and trained her for years，at no cost．"I remember talking to Sonia，"Spektor said．"She said that when a student is ready，a teacher appears．So she said that I must have been ready to study piano，and so that's why she came into my life．"
"Immediately，how she played，"Vargas said．"You can tell the sound．The sound tell you whether the person loves the instrument，loves the music．"
Much later，while playing her own music and selling a CD that she'd created，Regina Spektor caught the attention of a music producer．The rest is history，complete with concerts around the world and performance in front of the Obamas at the White House．
Regina Spektor greatly appreciated her parents，piano teachers and friends for helping her become the musician she is．"I love the idea that if you're walking toward the world，the world will take some steps towards you，"she said．

Last Saturday，I went to the People's Park with my parents．We were hanging out while we saw a naughty boy throwing a banana's skin casual on the ground．Just then，an old man passes by and didn't notice the skin．He slipped on it and fell down．On see that，we hurriedly went up and found that he was injure．So I called 120for help immediately and then an ambulance soon arrived at and took an old man to the nearest hospital．However，the boy had left before we knew it．It was the boy's casual behavior caused this accidents．It's high time that we minded our manners and behaved us．
12．If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days，it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies （自传） in that list．Bill Clinton，Nelson Mandela and actor Michael J Fox have all written them．An autobiography is the story of a person?s life，written by that person．It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood，how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives．
Traditionally，someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long，successful life．However，these days there are many magazines with stories and photos of the stars which sell very well．Reality TV shows are extremely popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well．As a result，people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous，a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography，even if they are very young．
So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye．Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays，we maybe don?t know how they live their lives from day to day．Autobiographies often give the information we never knew about the stars．The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager to read autobiographies．
Not every star wants to write though．Sometimes stars employ writers to write their life stories for them．The writer will interview the stars，listen to everything they want to say，record interviews and then write books based on their words．David Beckham did this with his book My Side．
Not everyone likes to read books regularly but they might like to read about the lives of stars．Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books．About 100million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year．More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops，more people are sure to keep buying them．
Autobiographies，stories writt en by famous people about themselves，are popular in the UK．（要点1）But unlike traditional ones，many of today's autobiographies are about young stars who rise to fame quickly．（要点2）As they often contain information unknown before，readers are keen on reading them．（要点3）Not fond of writing，however，some celebrities hire writers to write their autobiographies．（要点4）Besides，due to autobiographies，more British people are involved in reading now．（要点5）（68 words）．

When I was a child，there were son seasonal job seeker in my village．One day，my mother asked me to invite them for meal．At the thought of making an open fire outside at midday，and I felt very upsetly．I didn't manage to hide my feelings to my mother．After served the group，she asked，"Why did you get such angry？"I used the heat of the fire and the sun as an excuse for their rude behavior．She gave me a firm look，saying，"You can never predict whatever trouble may lie ahead of you!"Suddenly，I realize that I was wrong．
9．Parents do anything they can to give their kids the best chance to succeed．According to a report published by the Sutton Trust，a third of"professional parents"with children aged between five and 16 have moved to an area because they think it has good schools，and 18% to a specific school's catchment area．Some go further：3% admitted using a relative's address to get children into a particular school；and 2% said they had bought a second home and used that address to qualify for a place．
As well as a fair few white lies，it all adds up to a large amount of money spent on trying to improve your children's chances of doing better educationally-and the point the Sutton Trust wants to make is that the more money you have，the more you can do to"buy"an advantage．
It seems strange that parents，while focusing so eagerly on school，seem often to ignore a much cheaper way of improving their children's educational fate．Because the more stable a home life children have，the better they will be able to concentrate at school，the better behaved they will be in school，and the better grades they will have on leaving school．
 There's plenty of research to back all this up：a recent study by the Childhood Wellbeing Research Centre found that children aged seven and older tended to do more poorly in exams and to behave badly at school if their parents split up．Another report funded by the Economic and Social Research Council，released at the end of last year，found that a stable family life meant children were more likely to take in what's being offered in the classroom．According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists，teenagers whose parents are fighting or separating may find it difficult to concentrate at school．
 Of course，many marriages are completely on track，100% hunky dory，and here the only thing worth stressing about is a school's SATs and GCSE results．But it may not be you，and I have to admit it's not me either：I've been married for more than a quarter of a century，and the one thing I'm sure of is that it's not a bed of roses．I've got four children aged between 11 and 21； and while I'm truly grateful to the many teachers who have taught them，and the schools they've been pupils at，I've become more convinced as the years go by that a stable home is an absolutely vital part in how they're getting on-and certainly much more crucial than where their school sits in the local league table．
So spending a few hundred dollars for a course of Relate counselling sessions （and if you're on a low income，it can be a lot less，or even free） could be a much better use of the family's funds than spending thousands on moving house．Sure，your children might end up at a school whose exam results are far from satisfactory-but that's more than balanced against by the fact that they are likely to do better for having happier parents （and moving house，after all，puts even more pressure on a relationship）．
According to Relate，80% of clients who went for adult relationship counselling said their partnership had been strengthened as a result．According to a whole pile of research stretching back across many decades，children tend to do best when they're raised in a stable family．I can't help wondering whether the only sure winners from the struggle to live by the best school gates are estate agents （房地产商） rather than the very children the move is designed to help．

5．A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much"I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth； I believe that's from cracking the seeds，"he said．
I had never noticed the habit，but once he mentioned it，I suddenly became more aware．I realized that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report，I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds．My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds，and，to him，it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed．
When we were young，the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year．Then，we all lived close to one another，usually in a small city，and sometime even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making．
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking．Out in the living room，a large table would already be laid out，complete with fancy tablecloth，ready-made dumping fillings，and dishes full of candy，fruits and sunflower seeds．
Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later，while others were for neighbors and children to eat be-fore the evening feast．I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then．
I don't think it's right to criticize one's choice in food or eating habits，no matter how strange they may seem．
It's not only in China．When I went abroad，I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food．In Denmark，they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner，no matter how much it ruins your breath．They think it's a delicacy，and it's connected to their culture．I think it's a wonderful tradition．

A．She had ever typed a report about seeds．
B．She are various snacks while watching TV．
C．She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds．
D．She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds．

A．The traditions of celebrating it disappear．
B．Children can eat delicious food on that day

6．The writer's to Denmark's way of eating bread isA．
A．acceptable
B．critical 
C．neutral
D．doubtful
7．What lesson can we learn from the story？B
A．One kind of food doesn't necessarily suit everyone．
B．Eating habits come from a certain culture．
C．It is good to form healthy eating habits．
D．Changing your eating habits will change your life．
