Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?

In 1969, the pollution was terrible【1】（沿着）a river in Ohio. People thought it impossible to【2】（被清理）up. The river was so polluted that it caught fire and【3】（燃烧）. Now, years later, this river is one of【4】 （杰出）examples in the world for environment. But the river wasn’t changed in a few days or even a few【5】（月份）. It took years of work to 【6】（减少）the pollution.

Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have 【7】（习惯）that are making your family crazy. Possibly you always fail your tests and you never work【8】（努力） than before. Or you don’t know how to control【9】（你自己）so as not to be late for school again. When you face them, don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?

For 【10】（大多数的）of us changes are little by little and need a lot of effort and work. Just be patient.

For several days a rescue team worked around the clock, searching almost everywhere in the underground cave. With each passing hour chance of finding the young man inside the cave became smaller, and people had a lot of guesses. Perhaps he had simply run away. Or maybe he had stumbled out some other entrance and was now lost in the mountains. Or perhaps he was already... well, nobody wanted to say it. But everybody thought it. Everybody, that is, except the young man’s parents.

“ That wasn’t a choice in our opinion,” the young man’s mother said. “ Finally we would find him--safe and alive. We were certain of that.”

There was little reason to those who were familiar with the cave said it had been completely searched-several times. Common sense suggested that time was running out and that other choices needed to be considered--like when to say “enough”.

But like Kris Kringle says in his famous book A Miracle on 34th Street, “ Faith is believing in something even when common sense tells you not to do.” And the young man’s parents had faith. They wouldn’t give up, and they wouldn’t let anyone else give up, either. And sure enough, the young man was found--hungry, thirst and afraid, but healthy.

How did the young man manage to stay a live in the cave?

“ I ‘ve never stopped believing that someone would find me ,” said the young man.

【1】The young man got lost probably because___________.

A. he got separated from the teamB. he wanted to enter the cave alone

C. he did research in the cave aloneD. he had an important discovery

【2】What does the underlined word “ That” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Staying inside the cave.B. Giving up searching.

C. Making more guesses.D. Looking for the man in the mountains.

【3】Which can be the best title for the text?

A. The Power of BelievingB. A Dangerous Cave

C. The Way to Stay Alive in a CaveD. Parents’ Love

【4】Why did the parents and the son think “he” can still be alive? Why can you learn from the story?

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and s【1】 with their friends. Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Mary Smith, a schoolgirl in Washington, a【2】. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Mary. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”

Mary once l【3】 her purse, and worried for days. She was a【4】 to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day b【5】 she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll b【6】 very angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents. Her dad said he also made careless mistakes h【7】 sometimes. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my p【8】 in the future!” Mary says.

We often forget that our parents have more e【9】 than us and they are always there to help us. As an English saying goes, sharing a problem is like c【10】 it in half. We may get help from others if we talk to them about our problems. So it is best not to avoid our problems, but always try to solve them with the help of others!

【1】One of the main __________ of this job is the long working hours. (advantage)

【2】A knife and fork __________ (be) enough for having Western food.

【3】The audience can enjoy young __________ films from different countries. (导演)

【4】The heavy storm made the headmaster __________ the school sports meeting. (取消)

【5】If you want to know the __________ news, please visit CNTV. (late)

Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.

In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.

A little higher above the formulas(方程式), there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears(眼泪) dropping in the heavy rain.

Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last term in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part(分离). What a sad poem!

If you “explore(浏览)” the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feelings of the students who drew them.

For years, the wall has witnessed(见证) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.

【1】Where is the big “VICTORY”?(No more than six words)

【2】When was the poem written?

【3】What does the writer think of the poem?(no more than three words)

【4】What do the patterns and letters show?

Mobile phone history

Not long ago, mobile phones were used mainly by business people and government officers in society. In the US, mobile phone users were about 340, 000 in 1985. Now there are 205 million mobile phone users in the US. Studies also show that over 50 percent of children in the US own their own personal mobile phones. The mobile phone explosion(激增) has led to a huge number of waste phones. The number of mobile phones users has also increased throughout the world. In the middle of 2005, the number of total users jumped to 2.4 billion worldwide.

Mobile phone waste

When people throw their mobile phones away, they usually end up in the open air. Mobile phones include some materials like lead, mercury and cadmium. They can go into public drinking water and food and do harm to people’s health. About 75 percent of mobile phone users don’t throw their phones away. Instead, they prefer to keep the waste ones sitting around the house as they are not worth very much. People are also afraid that others may know their information if they sell their waste phones. Less than 20 percent of them are recycled each year.

Benefits(益处) of recycling mobile phones

Mobile phones have valuable materials inside. The most valuable material is gold, which is used in the phone circuit boards. Recycling can reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) and keep natural resources like gold. If all of the waste phones in the US are recycled, it will save enough energy to offer over 194, 000 U.S. families electricity(电力) for one year.

How mobile phone recycling works

Many people do not know how mobile phone recycling works. One method of recycling mobile phones is to take the working parts of broken phones, then combine(使结合) them with the working parts of other used mobile phones to make one ready-to-use mobile phone. Another method of mobile phone recycling is to melt(熔化) down and separate parts of the phone, getting the valuable natural resources, such as gold and platinum. Plastic and glass can also be recycled from used mobile phones.
