10、When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything．I didn’t understand and wondered why _1_ had such a big influence _2_ a person．I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now, _3_ I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel _4_ to express my own opinion on this saying．I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences．There are still many things waiting for me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.

I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better _5_ yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked．It made me think about _6_ itself．There are so many things around us that _7_ our will．We can’t force life to follow our wishes．The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we _8_ it or not ．What we can do is just to make  _9_ suit the world．I think we should learn to accept _10_ life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.

    The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite．I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song．I always try to _11_ every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments．It is more likely that they slip by（流逝）and leave you _12_ regretful．I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should _13_ such as my parents, friends, and so on．They all pay attention to my growing up, _14_ it’s just a little progress.

Everyone has his or her own _15_ towards life, positive or negative．It doesn’t  matter, I think．There is one rule that should be obeyed and that’s to make this world better.

15．A．idea                    B．way                   C．view                   D．attitude

9、When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays．Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day holidays posted．I was one of the lucky soldiers．It was Christmas eve when I arrived home, and a light snow had fallen．Mother opened the front door．I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood．There were lights, all colors, and ornaments （装饰物） shining against the green of a pine．“Where did it come from?” I asked．

 “I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said．“I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, such a rush！He just brought it in this afternoon…” The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the tree top crystal star was in its place．A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle．But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas．“It’s not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on．“Yours were always in good shape．I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look for a good one．But I couldn’t be fussy （挑剔的）．”

“Don’t worry,” I told her．“It’s perfect.” It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect．

1．From the passage, we can infer that ______．

       A．the writer spent his first Christmas during the war

       B．his mother didn’t like perfect trees

       C．his mother didn’t want to have a tree

       D．the writer wouldn’t have a tree cut by someone else

8、You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight．They hit one another hard．At the start they only fight with their fists．But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs．And so it goes on until one of the men crashes （撞击） through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below．He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead．With any luck he isn't even hurt．Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals （专业人士）．They do this for a living．These men are called stuntmen．That is to say, they perform tricks．There are two sides to their work．They actually do most of the things you see on the screen．For example, they fall from a high building．However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress （床垫）．Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training．Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing．For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment．

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives．They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed．A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high．His parachute （降落伞） failed to open, and he was killed．In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only．Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action, for nowadays there are stunt girls too!

1．Stuntmen are those who ______．

     A．often dress up as women                       B．prefer to lead dangerous lives

     C．often perform seemingly （表面上） dangerous actions

     D．often fight each other for their lives

2．Stuntmen earn their living by ______．

     A．playing their dirty tricks                        B．selling their special skills

     C．jumping out of high windows                D．jumping from fast moving trains

3．When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______．

     A．he needs little protection                    B．he will be covered with a mattress

     C．his life is endangered                           D．his safety is generally all right

4．Which of the following is the main factor （因素） of a successful performance?

     A．Strength．       B．Exactness．      C．Speed．        D．Power．

5．What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?

    A．Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman．

    B．The percentage of serious accidents is high．

    C．Parachutes must be of good quality．

    D．The cliff is too high．

7、In 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way．The author was Agatha Christie, one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world．

In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia．Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was sent to Hammersmith Hospital in London．She was then only semi-conscious （半清醒状态） and on the "Dangerously Ill" list．A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were confused by the very unusual symptoms （症状）．While they were discussing the baby's case, a nurse asked to speak to them.

"Excuse me," said Nurse Marsha Maitlan, "but I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning．（铊中毒）"

"What makes you think that?" Dr．Brown asked．"Thallium poisoning is extremely rare."

"A few days ago, I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie," Nurse Maitlan explained．"In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described．They're exactly the same as the baby's."

"You're very thoughtful and you may be right," another doctor said．"We'll carry out some tests and find out whether it's thallium or not."

Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making special glass．Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment．She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar．Later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide （杀虫剂） used in Qatar.

1．The one who first suggested the correct cause of the baby's illness was _____．

       B．the hospitals in Qatar were full at that time

       C．visited the baby in the hospital at Hammersmith

       D．gave Nurse Maitlan some advice on the phone

4．It seems likely from the passage that the baby's illness had something to do with _____．

       A．a dangerous pair of glasses                  B．the water in Qatar

       C．a harmful substance used to kill insects                                 D．a dead writer

5．When the baby was sent to the hospital in London, her case was considered to be _____．

       A．an urgent one                           B．quite a simple one

       C．a usual one                             D．the result of thallium poisoning
