The best advice I received in my childhood was from my dad. He always gives me some advice, but I seldom took them seriously. One day he was encouraged me to participate in a speech competition. So I signed up and after the competition, I did my best to be full prepared. But the moment I stood on the stage, I was such nervous that my mind completely went blank. The experience of lose a competition was really painful. Then, my dad said, “My son, life is like battlefield. You have to lose many time to win the final victory.” Thanks for his advice, I never give up when I do anything.

An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow on my small town in the mountains. Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed. Still, I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside. The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47 year-old back ached in anticipation（预想）of the shoveling（铲雪）I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.

Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldn't help but smile a bit. It was so beautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow(雪犁) on the road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their way off from school.

The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angles, running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore(疼痛的). I turned up my head, stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it. It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.

May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be. May you always delight in the simple joys of life. May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children. And may you always give your love, your light, your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.

C. He was thankful.D. He was moved.

B. I didn't want to start my day on such a snowy day

D. the snow didn't stop and I felt too cold

My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set.

When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

A. He got an older model than he had expected.

B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

C. He could have bought it at a lower price.

D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.

A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels

C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies

3.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off.

C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.

4.How does the author sound when telling the story?

A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Cautious. D. Humorous.

How to talk to your child about a future career

Thinking about a future career can bring a lot of stress. 1. This cuts up the question into workable issues that you and your child can enjoy dealing with throughout their childhood years. Here’s how:

●In your child’s life, there are times when they are given the opportunity to see and/or discuss a certain career. Schools have Career Day, an aunt or uncle talks about what they do for a living or your child’s youth group goes on a trip to a hospital and talks to the staff there. 2.

●When your child shows interest in a certain career, you should do some research. Then, you can offer your child some information on that job and related jobs. 3. It is a wonderful free online resource.

●Help your child weigh the pros and cons for his or her different career interests. Encourage your child to narrow(缩小) the choices down to five at the most.

●4. This is a good time to begin ordering in college and technical school lists. Use the lists and any other information you have found as an ice breaker for more conversations with your child.

●5. Make this a clear message. Teach your child that part of being independent is knowing when and who to lead on, trust and respect.

A. Do you feel you have open communication with your child?

B. The Occupational Outlook Handbook gives you what schooling is needed.

C. The final decision lies with your child, but you do have the right to have input.

D. Choosing the right career is one of the most important decisions your child will make in life.

E. Figure out the path your child would have to take to obtain the schooling for his career choices.

F. Each of these times is an opportunity for you to ask your child what he thought of those jobs or that field of work.

G. Parents need to learn to help their child conquer this great question by dropping seeds of conversation as time goes by and watch them grow into ideas.

During the Tang Dynasty(618—907),there was a minister named Li Linfu.He was very good at flattering people,so his official position was raised higher and higher and he 1. (eventual) became the prime minister.2..,Li was a violent and cruel man.When he talked with people he always wore a sweet smile,but he 3.. (make) up evil ideas in his mind.

One day,Li learned that 4.. beautiful woman was put in prison.He sent for a prison officer and ordered him to set the woman free.The man followed the order and Li took the woman home.

Later,someone reported the case to the emperor.The prison officer was very afraid because he 5..(know) he had committed a crime by 6.. (set) the criminal free.He went to Li for help,but Li ignored him and asked the man not to disturb him any more.The man was so disappointed that he hanged 7.. (he).

Hearing the tragic suicide of the prison officer,another officer wanted to reveal the 8.. (true) to the emperor.Li,however,knew of this plan and began to make false accusations against the officer.The foolish emperor believed Li’s words and exiled(流放) the officer 9.. a distant land.

I’m tiring. I’ve been digging all day and I’ll be doing same tomorrow. But I’ve never had so many fun. As an archaeology student, I have already knew something about the Qin Tomb. Most Chinese child can tell you Qin Shihuang first joined China together. He was a brilliant ruler, and he was also a cruel man. When he became king, he immediate ordered workers to construct an underground tomb, which it is said to contain great treasures. But the actual entrance to the tomb has ever been found, nor has the tomb been opened. It’s said that if everyone steps across the entrance, the crossbows will fire.

Breakthroughs in science and technology are paving the way for modern cities to support bigger populations. Now, we see the most exciting urban innovations to show you exactly how they’ll improve your city’s infrastructure(基础设施).

Lighting Up The Night

Anthony Di Mari dreamed up an electric tree to help irrigate public parks and light them at night. These electric trees contain a special infill (填充物) that collects water from rainfall. The water is then distributed through a shallow underground irrigation system with the help from the trees’ swaying movement. An electric motor turns energy from the waving of the artificial trees into electricity, which is used to light up the trees’ outer LEDs.

Thinking Outside The Box

As more people flock to urban areas, city planners will need to get increasingly creative about how to satisfy residents’ health and transportation needs within decreasing available space. One way to achieve this is by updating infrastructure to support biking and walking by building suspended(悬浮的) roundabouts like hovering in the Netherlands. By lifting bicycle and pedestrian traffic above busy roadways, cities can significantly decrease over-crowded traffic condition.

Waving Hello To Clean Energy

Cities that don’t receive enough sunlight may find an attractive alternative in wave power. Since ocean waves rarely experience disruption(中断), electric engines driven by their clockwork push-and-pull can reliably provide power throughout the year. Further, thanks to advances in wave power technology, engineers have been able to move wave power engines farther offshore, where the waves pack the most punch, making the engines extremely efficient. So in the future, heavily populated coastal cities may use wave to meet their energy needs.

1.What is the special infill used to do?

A. To make the trees beautiful.

B. To produce electricity.

C. To help the trees’ swaying.

D. To collect water from rainfall.

2.How do the Netherlands improve the city traffic according to the text?

A. By updating the city roadway condition.

B. By building walking passages underground.

C. By creating suspended roundabouts above roadways.

D. By supporting more biking and walking.

3.What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?

A. The advantages of wave power.

B. The ways to use wave power.

C. The future of wave power.

D. The advances in wave power technology.
