My roommate Lily was well organized, while I was not. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (Ìù±êÇ©) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Lily came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. ¡°Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!¡± Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (ÅÀ) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn¡¯t notice Lily had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, ¡°Thanks.¡±

Lily and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn¡¯t always agree, but we learned ¸ßÒ»ÔĶÁÀí½âMy roommate Lily was well organized while I was the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right?

Wrong

New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes(»ùÒò) will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed¡ªa number that is one-third of known human genes.

According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.

When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.

This means your body is trying to heal (ÖÎÓú) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years. It¡¯s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (Ë®Äà)¡ªit will always be there, even when you¡¯ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.

Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.

A. show the main idea of the passage B. give an example

C. make an argument D. introduce the topic of the passage

C. the harmful effect D. the footprint

4.Which of the following statements is true?

B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking

C. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.

D. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.

A

I am a 21-year-old boy, and this is my story.

One month after I graduated from high school in 2009,I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma£¨»èÃÔ£©for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital.

I died eight times during my coma and I couldn¡¯t talk or communicate when I woke up. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were almost shattered. But I was not going to let my injuries prevent me from living my dreams.

After 14 operations and blood transfusions, I had to learn how to talk, eat, walk, shower and live independently again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After spending a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but run. When it came true, I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St.Mary¡¯s College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.

By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

A. was a high school student B. had finished his high school education

C. was a college student D. was returning home from a swim competition

2.What does the underlined word ¡°shattered¡± in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Begun B. Destroyed C. Shared D. Taken

3.It can be inferred that the author ________after he woke up from his coma.

C. faced physical and mental challenges D. was worried about his lung

4.What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?
