Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 1; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a 2 afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 3 windows shut. Drivers don't exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 4 their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was 5.
“I'll get the next car's 6 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, 7 much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright 8 lit up her face like a fire.
“You can't 9 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I'll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as 10, and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his 11 changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then 12 at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his 13.
“I suppose I'll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver 14 him. He 15 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink. The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave 16 and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, 17 others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window 18 a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and 19 their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire 20 of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

I’m glad to hear of you. You asked me about the difficulties you may meet with when you arrive at here in the USA. Now I’d like to tell you everything about it.

First, you may have problems about the language that you think you had learned so well. You may find difficult to communicate with the native, because many of them have a strong accent. Beside, you may not get used to the western food here or even hate to have it. What’s more, you may feel lonely and miss your family and friend, especially in a very beginning.

However, you needn’t worry about it. Several weeks late, you will get used to everything here and get to love the place, but I’ll also try my best to help you when necessary.

【题目】Do you want to hurt the person back, or do you hold it against them for the rest of your life when somebody hurts you? If you answered “yes” to these questions, know that you are like most people. To forgive is something that most people generally have difficulty with.

People don’t forgive readily, because it is easier to hate than to forgive. Some people thing to forgive is a sign of weakness, but actually to forgive takes courage and effort.

Forgiveness is a gift from a generous heart. It is not a reward for good behavior. It is not based on whether the person deserves it or whether the person has asked for it.

Besides, forgiveness is an act and a process, which often takes time. The deeper your pan, the longer it usually takes to completely forgive. It is an act because it is not just the words you say, but also your actions which show if you’ve truly forgiven someone.

Forgiveness is necessary because it releases you from the burden of bitterness and hate. It takes a lot of energy to hate and to keep that hate in place. Hate puts unnecessary stress on your body. It is a well-known fact, proven by numerous studies, that bitterness and hate can actually make you sick. The moment that affected people forgive and let go of their hate, they will start to get well. Forgiveness brings freedom, whereas revenge is neither sweet nor satisfying.

I have personal experience of this. I used to be very cynical about life and didn’t forgive easily. At the time, I also struggled in every area of my life. Things just didn’t seem to work out for me. It is as if everything that could go wrong. Always went wrong. That was until somebody told me to take a look at my attitude. And when I forgave those who wronged me and changed my attitude, everything else changed. It didn’t happen overnight. It took a while, but I could see and feel the difference.

Are things not working out in your life, despite you doing all the “right” things? Is it possible that you are holding “unforgiving” in your heart? It is worth thinking about. By Leonard J. Roost.

A .Forgiveness means not giving in.

B. Forgiveness depends on good behavior.

C. Forgiveness needs good will from both sides.

D. Forgiveness requires courage and generosity.

【2】what does the underlined word “cynical” in paragraph 6 possibly mean?

A. Not believing the goodness of others.

B. Making comments on others.

C. Showing kindness to others.

D. Not liking talking with others.

【3】What can we conclude from the text?

A. Hate may actually cause illness.

B. Revenge helps to reduce the hate in your heart.

C. When you feel sick, it makes it difficult to hate.

D. Hate goes away when you say you will forgive.

【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.

Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore big boat-like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500.

Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for a special course. “It’s traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard (硬纸板) for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”

A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the neighborhood. The youngest person to ever took part was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old woman. A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.

“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.

“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.

【1】What can we learn about Alex Quinones?

A. He finished the race in less than a minute.

B. He won the race with the help of 2 boats.

C. He failed the race last year.

D. He set a new record this year.

【2】For what purpose did the students join in the race?

A. To go across the lake to school.

B. To test their balance on the water.

C. To earn a good grade for a course.

D. To win the prize money of $500.

【3】What can we learn according to the fourth paragraph?

A. More than 20 teams failed to cross the lake.

B. The students who fell into the water had to quit.

C. The students kept silent when the other racers competed.

D. The youngest competitor competed instead of her mother.

【4】According to Canaves, this race can help the students ________.

A. understand designing better

B. achieve almost everything

C. work together and unite as one

D. walk on the surface of water

With his unique black mane (鬃毛)and impressive stature(身材), 13-year-old Cecil was a popular tourist attraction at the 3.6 million-square-acre Hwange National Park(万基国家公园) in Zimbabwe (津巴布韦).

Cecil was head of a pride of lions that includes 12 cubs(幼崽), but the well-known lion was shot and killed in early July by American dentist Walter J. Palmer.

Cecil’s death has already sparked an international outcry (强烈抗议) with many calling for an end to hunting endangered animals and for Palmer to be extradited(引渡) to Zimbabwe to stand trial.

Professor David Macdonald, the head of the Oxford University research program that monitored the daily movements of Cecil and dozens of other lions, is deeply saddened by Cecil’s death. Macdonald hopes the death can inspire the public to take an interest in lion conservation.

Macdonald says many of the lions tracked by the program have been shot and killed. “The background to this story is that there is a crisis for lions throughout much of Africa.” He says.

African lion populations have fallen almost 60 percent over the past thirty decades, and as few as 32,000 of them remain in the wild, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare(国际爱护动物基金会).

“And as troubling as it is, the rarer these hunted animals become, the more hunter s are willing to pay to kill them,” said Jeff Flockedn, the fund’s North American regional director.

In addition to excessive hunting, lions throughout Africa also continue to face threats that include conflicts with local farmers, loss of habitat and risk of traffic and railway collisions(碰撞).

【1】 Internationally, people’s attitude towards Walter J. Palmer’s behavior is ________.

A. Understandable B. Unpardonable

C. Unpredictable D. Uncontrollable

【2】According to the text, how many African lions lived in the wild thirty years ago?

A. 80,000 B. 48,000 C. 53,000 D. 60,000

【3】African lions are facing the following threats except ________.

A. their conflicts with local farmers.

B. the loss of their habitats

C. people’s excessive hunting

D. the increase in the number of their natural enemies

【4】The best title of the text might be ________.

A. The Death of Cecil-an African Lion

B. The Current state of All African Lions

C. The Threats Facing African Lions

D. The Appeal for an End to Hunting Endangered Animals

Dear Tim,

I’m so excited and happy to hear that you’re coming to China. Since your trip is scheduled for the middle of July, time is not problem for me. That’s because I would be having my summer holiday at that time.

I’ve been very busy recent. I’ve been prepared for the coming entrance exam, that is vital for me and my future life. Last week, I attended an English speech intending for high school students all over the province and I have won the first prize. However, I’ve always dreamt of having the opportunity to travel in English-speaking countries like yours to practice and improve our English, as well make friends with people from other countries.

I am looking forward to seeing you.

Yours,

Li Hua
