One cold night,I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home around one o'clock in the morning after a 1       practice at the the?atre. With the opening night only a week away,I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 2        han?dling my parttime job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked,I thought seriously about 3        both acting and San Francisco. I had 4        too much of the city life.

  As I walked down the 5        streets under the tall buildings,I felt very small and cold,so I began 6        both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out 7          a few homeless people under blankets.

  About a block from my 8       ,I heard a sound be?hind me. I 9       quickly,half expecting to see some?one with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining street light. Still,the noise had made me 10        so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 11        what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 12        to the sidewalk.

  Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Al?though I searched the sidewalk 13        for 15 minutes,my wallet was 14        to be found.

  Just as I was about to quit the 15       ,I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to 16        When a voice came from the inside, "Alisa Camcho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 17        look in his eyes. "Is this 18        you're looking for?" He asked,holding up something like a wallet.

  Finally,I got my wallet back.   I also got back some 19        of city life. I realized the city couldn't be a bad place as soon as people were willing to 20        each other.

  Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English. Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic. But remember to work in a way that suits you. It's important to learn from past mistakes as well. Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you have made―it'll help you avoid making the same ones later.

  The time of life may be hard,but you're not alone. You may be busy studying,but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short mes?sages. Don't let your friendships die.

  It's as important to live well as it is to study well. Going to bed no later than 11 : 30 pm is vital. It puts you in the right mood for the next day. You needn't follow a special diet,but make sure you are eating nu?tritious meals each day.

  The person who plays well studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn't mean having to give up other activities. Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself. Timeout is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.

  Besides taking the big exam,you have other choices for college. I took the independent enrollment exam held by Peking University and some other students even were preparing to study abroad. Pay at?tention to any relevant information you can find,whether it's from school* the news media or other sources.

1. What should you do if you want to keep your friendships fresh?

   A. Have frequent talks with your friends.

   B. Always have lunch with your friends.

   C. Remain your friends at some distance.

  A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill but he had no money. He had to sell some cabbage and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was rai?ning hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out,it was dark.

 Ecology (生态学) is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together and depend on each other and on the local environment. Where an en?vironment is undisturbed,the ecology of the area is 1        in nature balance,but if a creature dies out or a new species is 2       ,then the ecology of the ar?ea will be upset. In other 3       ,the balance of nature will be 4       .

  Man is a part of the 5        and has done more to upset the ecology during 6        short span on earth than 7        other living creature. He has done this by his ignorance,his 8      ,his thoughtless foolishness and his uncontrolled wastefulness.

  He has poisoned the 9        and polluted both land and water. He has wasted the earth's natural 10        with no thought for the future,and has thought out the most devastating (毁灭) ways of killing his fellow men and every other sort of life at the same time.

  Since man has done so much damage,it is up to man to try to 11        the way he acts if it is not already too 12        If there is to be any remedy (补救法) for our ills,that remedy ultimately lies in the hands of the 13       ,and the sooner they start doing something about it,the 14       .

  One of the main 15        of the earth's troubles is that the world is too 16        and that this overpopulation is growing at an evei^increasing rate. At the same time we are 17        up our natural resources―fuels and mineral ores―at an everincreasing rate with no 18        of replacing them.

  For many years the earth has been unable to 19        enough food for these rapidly expanding populations and the position has been steadily getting worse 20        some of our richest soil was lost and vast areas that were once fertile lands were turned into deserts.
