40（2010·吉林省长白县高三质量检测试）假定下面是你的一个美国朋友发给你的电子邮件，请写一段120~150词的文字作为回复。I’m just back from a holiday in China. During my stay in Qinhuangdao, a coastal city in Hebei province, I often saw a slogan reading “One World, One Dream.” I wonder why it appears here and there and I don’t really quite understand it. Could you give me some idea?注：秦皇岛是2008北京奥运会足球项目的主办城市之一。_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My wife called, “How long will you be with that ? Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?” I threw the paper away and to the place. My daughter, Sindu, sat there, tears welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a big bowl of rice.
I the bowl and persuaded: “Sindu, why not take a few mouthfuls of this rice?”
“Ok, Dad. I will eat — not just a few mouthfuls, the whole lot of this. But…” Sindu hesitated. “Dad, if I eat this entire rice, will you give me I ask for?”
“Promise.” I .
After eating the rice painfully, Sindu came to me, her eyes wide with . Now I became a bit . “Dear, you shouldn't insist on a computer or any such things.

It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US President. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book.” However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar(说谎者)．
And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In The World Book Day survey, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding．
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named JK Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King. Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story．
So which books have you lied about reading —if any — and which is your favorite?
1.The main reason why people lie about reading is to __________.
A．make fun of the listener B．impress the listener
C．please the listener D．interest the listener
2.The underlined word “proceeded” in the passage probably means“___________”.
A．wanted B．happened C．continued D．stopped
3.What is the best title for the passage?
A．Are You A Book Liar? B．Readers Are All Liars
C．World Book Day D．Dreams From My Father
Good afternoon, principal, teachers and all students. It is my 1 (honorable) to be here to give a talk to all of you. I have studied in this school for five years. In these five years, I learned one precious thing important not only to me 2 to all of you here, and it is “reading”. I can always gain knowledge from reading. Reading doesn’t 3 up a lot of time but I gain a lot. Now I would like to share my reading experiences with you.
I once read a book Rare Air: Michael on Michael 4 (write) by the greatest basketball player in the history, Michael Jordan. While we envy his great achievement in the basketball and business aspects, few of us focus on his spirit of persistence. In the book, he talks about his experience of 5 he walks on the path to success. In order to join the NBA, he put in every effort to strengthen his muscle, to improve his skills 6 training hard. Because of his efforts, he successfully entered the NBA.
However, he did not stop his training. 7 , the training was even stricter, 8 prepared him to deny(否认) the statement released by the public, “Michael is a weak guy!” While the criticism against him diminished(减少；减小；缩减), he worked even harder to achieve his next goal — the championship of the NBA. Finally, he succeeded.
People honor Michael as “God of basketball” not only for his great basketball skills, but also mainly for his spirit of persistence. While we admire his spirit, we can follow(追求；追逐) his spirit as well. Michael should be our example; we ought to learn from him. As/So long as(只要) we work hard, nothing is impossible. Bear in mind that all of you have the same quality. Nobody is born wise. Putting in effort is the only but 9 (effect) way to advancement. My fellow schoolmates, before I go, I would like to encourage all of you that we should work as hard as we 10 . When you grow up, you may be the one who is admired by the community. My fellow schoolmates, let’s work hard together! Work for our future! Thank you.

38 after midnight, Jack quietly touched me. “Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won’t take much room.” I shifted 39 to make room. My son soon fell asleep.
An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs. “Mommy, my 40 is all stuffed up（堵住）. I can’t really breathe very well. Will you please 41 with me a little while?” Tara doesn’t often get up at night, 42 I decided to be there for her. She soon fell asleep. I returned to my own bed. I was determined to sleep. But to my 43 , I found Jack sleeping on my side of the bed. He looked so 44 that I couldn’t remove him. Quietly and carefully, I lay down between 45 and Jack.
I did manage to get some sleep 46 I heard Tara’s voice again. I returned to 47 Tara. “Mom, please lie down with me a little bit, I had a bad dream, and I’m so 48 .” “Of course, honey. It was only a dream. Mommy’s here and 49 is okay.” We fell asleep 50 each other’s arms.
