Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air who can be down-to-earth.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.

The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

1.If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____.

A. is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dreams

B. has some dreams but he is realistic

C. is honest, open and easy to deal with

D. is honest, open but hard to deal with

2.From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually ________.

A. help a student get down to the earth

B. wake a student up

C. help a daydreaming student come down

D. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic

3.The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.

A. the person who has his nose in the air is not true

B. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent

C. the opposite direction is always wrong

D. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

It is never too late to try to make your dreams come true. This could be Mary Moe’s motto—the expression that best presents her spirit. Mary Moe has done a lot during the past 91 years. For much of that time, she wanted to fly, but never had the chance—until now. She recently achieved her life-long dream.

Mary just learned how to fly an airplane, a dream she has had since she was a little girl. Growing up, she was inspired by two American pilots: Charles Lindburgh Amelia Earhart. They became her inspiration. Lindbugh made the solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. Five years later, Earhart became the first woman to make the flight. But Mary Moe could not find time to make her dream come true. At age 34, she was just too busy—busy fighting cancer. She was also busy with her job in advertising and busy raising her family.

There was simply no time to think about flying a plane. And it was difficult for her to drive to the airport. Lessons were costly. Everything seemed to be working against Mary.

“I had actually gone out to that airport in the 1980s to see about flying lessons and it was such a long drive out and expensive and I thought, ‘No, I have to put this back burner for a while.’” So her dream had to wait. She kept it on the back burner. Then, at age 91, her wish finally came true.

Ms Moe learned about Wish of a lifetime. Wish of a Lifetime is a non-profit organization whose goal is to change the way our society thinks about aging and older adults.

Sally Webster works for the group. Wish of Lifetime helps older people, senior citizens, enjoy a dream. It also sends the message that it is never too late for a dream. So they really try to look for those stories that are inspiring and can show people that older Americans can achieve things just like younger Americans can.

1. In her thirties, Mary Moe must have ___________

A. lived a smooth life B. been unemployed

C. spent a hard time D. learned how to fly

2.The underlined part is closest in meaning to “_____________”

A. set this down B. put this off

C. cut this off D. give this away

3.Wish of Lifetime is set up in order to_____________.

A. change people’s thought about the old

B. improve people’s life

C. raise money for the old

D. help the old live on themselves

There are several reasons _____ the smog days in many parts of China.

A. account forB. accounted for

C. accounting forD. to be accounted for

One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber—and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to $30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

She said, “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 p.m. the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said, “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much or make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and her husband Stall McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 p.m.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 p.m. to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat.”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that pair of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage (走廊). The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带手铐).”

1.The underlined phrase “be in line for” in the first paragraph means __________.

A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own

2.Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because _________.

A. the police called her

B. he looked very strange

C. he came to the hotel with little luggage

D. he came to the hotel the day before New Year’s Eve

3.David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in _________.

A. the passage B. the man’s room

C. Vicki’s bedroom D. the top floor room

4.The whole event probably lasted about ________hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.

A. 6 B. 8 C. 11 D. 14

Trampolining

What’s more fun than standing still? Jumping up and down on a springy piece of fabric (织物)! This activity is known as trampolining and it’s sweeping the nation．

The idea of trampolining is ancient．Eskimos have been throwing each other in the air for thousands of years．Firemen began using a life net to catch people jumping from buildings in 1887.1.

A gymnast named George Nissan and his coach Larry Griswold made the first modern trampoline in 1936.They got the idea by watching swing artists bouncing off of a tight net at the circus．They named their equipment after the Spanish word trampolín, which means diving board.

2. In 1942 they began making trampolines to sell to the public.

3.Experts find that more than 100,000 people hurt themselves while using one each year．Clubs and gyms use large safety nets or other equipment to make it safer．Most trampoline injuries happen at home．Since trampolines are more affordable than ever, injuries are even more common.

These injuries happen for many reasons．People may bounce too high and land off of the trampoline or onto the springs．4.Perhaps the worst injuries happen when untrained people try to do flips (快速翻转)．Landing on your neck or head can cause injuries or even kill you.

But don’t let all that bad news keep you down．There are many things that you can do to practice safe trampolining．Trampolines have been around for a while now．They have brought a lot of joy to many people．They can be a good source of exercise and activity．5.But they can also be deadly．It is important to follow some professional guidance．Be sure that you are practicing safety while having a good time．Happy bouncing!

A． They can help people improve their balance and moves.

B． Trampolines may be fun, but they can also be dangerous.

C． The men wanted to share their idea with the whole world.

D． Injuries also happen when many people are jumping at the same time.

E． You can surround your trampoline with a net so that people don’t fall off of it．

F． They found a winner when they performed a piece of spring across a steel frame.

G． And in the early 1900s, circus performers began bouncing off of netting to amuse audiences．

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride．Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it．But Lee Gray，PhD，of the University of North Carolina，US，has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport．He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.

“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的)，” Gray told the BBC．“The elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door．If someone else comes in，we may have to move．And here，according to Gray，liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements．He told the BBC what he had observed.

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift，you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.

If there are two of you，you go into different corners，standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.

When a third person enters，you will unconsciously form a triangle．And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square，with someone in every corner．A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively．Once in，for most people the rule is simple – look down，or look at your phone.

Why are we so awkward in lifts?

“You don’t have enough space，” Professor Babette Renneberg，a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin，told the BBC．“Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us．And that’s not possible in most elevators.”

In such a small，enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd．“The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact，” she said.

1.According to Gray，when people enter an elevator，they usually _____.

A． turn around and greet one another

B． look around or examine their phone

C． make eye contact with those in the elevator

D． try to keep a distance from other people

2.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

A．
