10．After my sixth voyage I was quite determined that I would never go to sea．One early spring day，however，I was brought to see the Caliph．He said，"Sindbad，I have chosen you to deliver a letter and a gift to the King of Serendib in return for his message of friendship．"
The Caliph's commandment fell upon me like a thunderbolt（晴天霹雳）．
"Your Majesty，"I answered，"I am ready to do all that your Majesty commands，but I have made a promise never again to leave Baghdad．"
"I admit，"said he，"that you have indeed had some extraordinary experiences，but I do not see why they should prevent you from doing as I wish．You have only to go straight to Serendib and give my message，and come back as you will．"
At last，I agreed．The Caliph was delighted and gave me a thousand sequins （gold coins） for the expenses of the voyage．Soon I sailed quickly and safely to Serendib after a nearly 30-day voyage where I was well received，and brought into the presence of the king．
I displayed the Caliph's gifts：a bed which cost a thousand sequins，and more beds of different fashion．The King received the assurance of the Caliph's friendliness with satisfaction．Since my task was accomplished，I was anxious to depart．The king dismissed me with many presents，and I left immediately on the end day of May．On the fifth day we suffered from pirates（海盗） who killed some of us and made the rest prisoners of whom I was one．On a distant island they sold us for slaves．I fell into the hands of a rich merchant．
The merchant asked me to shoot elephants in the forest．When he left，he said，"When you have succeeded in killing one come and tell me．"
So saying，he gave me a supply of food and returned to the town．I settled myself in the tree and kept watching．The next morning I saw a large group of elephants passing by．I shot one to death and run back to tell my master of my success，for which I was praised and regaled（宴请，款待） with good things．Then we went back to bury the elephant I had killed，in order that when it became a skeleton my master might return and keep its tusks safely．
I hunted for two months．One morning as I watched the coming of the elephants which paused instead of passing the tree，trumpeting（嚎叫，吼叫） horribly．I was terrified．The largest of the animals brought me to the ground．I thought now that my last hour was surely come； but the huge creature，picking me up gently enough； set me upon its back，then turned into the forest．After what seemed a long time to me，I was standing on a great hill where there was filled with bones and tusks of elephants which are more than I could carry away in a lifetime．
I run to my master's house，and was received by him with joyful surprise．He asked me what had happened to me and why I was still alive．I soon satisfied his curiosity，and the next day we went together to the Ivory Hill，and he was overjoyed to find as many tusks．
He said，"My brother，these wild elephants have killed numbers of our slaves every year．You alone have escaped； therefore you must be under the special protection of Heaven．You deserve your liberty，and I will give you a fortune．"
I only asked liberty to return to my own country
"Well，"he answered，"the monsoon will soon bring the ivory ships here，and then I will send you on your way．"
So I stayed with him till the time of the monsoon．When the ships at last arrived，my master put on board for me a great store of supply，also lots of ivory，and said me goodbye．I left without feeling at ease upon the sea after what had happened．I sold my ivory and bought many expensive presents．I joined a traveling team of merchants．Our journey was long and boring，but gradually，I did not to fear storms，or pirates，or any of the other dangers．When the fall wind came blowing，we reached Baghdad．
I brought myself to the Caliph and told him everything about my experience．My story was written in letters of gold，and laid up among his treasures．I took my leave of him，well satisfied with the honors and rewards he gave me； and since that time I have rested from my labors，and given myself up wholly to my family and my friends．

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.

Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you'll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.

You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!

Seeing friends you haven't seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers (运动鞋).It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don't have time in the morning.

1.The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means“________.”

A. start B. study

C. find D. teach

A. what to know about a new school

B. how to prepare for a new school

A. how to be used to a new school quickly

Travelling around the world with children is difficult enough, while attempting it without using motorized transport is even more of challenge．Even so, Dario Schworer a 42-year-old climatologist and mountain guide, and his 33-year-old wife Sabine are on a journey to do just that．

The Swiss couple want to travel across the world's oceans and climb the highest mountain on every continent to promote Earth-friendly ways of life．

"We are collecting good examples of dealing with climate change and living in harmony with nature and we want to spread such ideas．" Schworer said．"We want to help people affected by global warming and to inspire children for the future．"

Recently after having spent three months teaching children in the Everest region, the couple want to show it is possible to travel through the world's climate zones using just human-power and forces of nature．

In the 47 countries they have visited they have collected 22 tons of trash, taught people in Ecuador how the sun's rays can be used to clean water and inspired a person in Chile to build a house on water with recycled plastic bottles as a foundation．They have also collected trash in the mountains of Nepal with school children．

So far they have communicated with 45,000 children from South America, Australia and Asia, giving presentations about the importance of recycling and using alternative energy like solar and wind power．

When they began their adventure in 2003 they had no children of their own．But since then two has become five: daughter Sabine is now five years old, Andri was born in Chile and baby Neo was born in Australia．

Initially the couple thought they would complete their travels in four years, but now, they believe it could take seven more．

"Since our belief is the need to respect nature, we travel only when conditions are good," Schworer said．

1.Why do the Swiss couple travel around the world?

A. To inspire their children for the future．

B. To prove a travel without motorized transport．

C. To promote Earth-friendly ways of life．

D. To explore the secret of global warming．

2.They did a lot during the travel except _____．

A. collect rubbish and waste

B. build a house with recycled plastic bottles

C. communicate with local children

D. show people how to use energy

3.What's the meaning of the underlined word "Initially"?

A. At the beginning B. In a way

C. In the end D. On the whole

4.The best title of the passage can be _____．

A. A Swiss family' journey across the world

5．Life offers two choices．We can live to survive or to soar to unlimited heights．The choices are modeled by two creatures．
A few months back while sitting in a boat fishing with a couple of friends，I noticed a field mouse on the river bank．He ran out of his hole，ran in a couple of directions，and then ran back inside．I thought of the existence of this little creature．His life is spent running around，frightened and panicky，following his nose．
He darts here，dashes there，turns in circles，but never really sees much beyond his nose．He is trying to smell his way to successful living，which，defined by a mouse's existence，is finding some daily food to sustain himself so that he can carry on for the rest of his life，frightened and frantic．Sounds familiar．
A few minutes later I glanced up and noticed，soaring high above，was an osprey（鱼鹰）．I saw a wide winged creature using air currents to fly high．
Rather than simply fighting to exist，this keen-eyed hunter with a broad view of the river，lake and mountains was waiting for the appropriate time to catch his prey（猎物）．This amazing creature glides（滑翔）toward a nest at the top of the tallest of trees instead of returning to some tiny hole in the riverbank．
The strength in his wings，the power in his talons （爪子），the amazing ability of his vision，the effortless capacity to soar…it is the osprey，not the field mouse，that models our human potential．
I don't know about you，but it is easy for me to decide which creature I want to represent my life．I want to soar．I want to explore．I want to see the big picture．I want to conquer．I want to climb higher，go farther，dive deeper and experience more．
I want my soul enlarged，my mind expanded，my heart enlivened and my spirit energized．I want to stop running．I want the frantic chasing of my nose to end．I want new strength，fresh thinking and clear vision．I want to be more and more like the osprey．

A．To discuss two animals that represent different lifestyles．
B．To discuss what kind of life he wants to live．

The famous man from the White House said：One day，my mother brought some apples．She said to my brother and me："You all want the reddest and biggest one，right？Well，let's have a competition．Now I divide the grassland in front of the gate into two and I will give one to each of you and you must shear（修剪） it well．And I will give the reddest and biggest apple to him who does it the most quickly and best．"
After the competition，I won and I got the biggest apple．In our family，as long as you want to get the best things，you must take part in competition．I think it is fair．No matter what you want，you must pay lots of efforts．

19．When the well-known pianist Kong Xiangdong first made it big in the city in the early 1990s，he was called the"piano prince．"His smart looks and passionate（激昂的）music won the hearts of many women fans．Now the"prince"has revealed his new look-with hair shaved（剃O光） off．"It is very environmentally friendly，"Kong said，smiling．"I never need to use shampoo or a hair dryer!"The real reason for the change is that Kong started to lose his hair．
But when he talks about his early piano training，Kong speaks of"bitterness"and"hardship．"He says"A pianist has no childhood at all．I didn't understand the games other children played．"
Kong's mother-Lin Youling，who had a great interest in piano-provided him with a keyboard painted on paper．It was on this soundless"instrument"that he began his piano career，at the age of 5．His mother put the"keyboard"in the kitchen and asked Kong to practice on it every day．Kong had to vocalize the notes．"My interest in music declined quickly because the silent′keyboard'made practice very boring，"he said．
When he was 7，Kong's mother borrowed enough money to buy a second-hand piano for him．She almost spent all her savings on the instrument，so it was a real fortune．It was not a good quality piano and the keys were yellow and old，"like an old woman's teeth．"Kong used this"old granny"piano for 10years．It stimulated his real passion for learning music because he was fascinated（着迷的） by the beautiful sound of a real piano after years at the paper keyboard．He has kept the old piano to remind him of those days．
Practice is the only path to success．Knowing that，Kong was a hard-working student at school，where he wore out several keyboards on musical exercises．
58．Why did Kong Xiangdong shaved off his hair？B
A．Because his fans like it．
B．Because his hair started to lose．
C．Because it is very friendly to environment．
D．Because he never used shampoo or a hair dryer．
