We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister?” Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.

A. beautiful hair                                 B. pretty clothes
C. lovely smile                                   D. young age

A year ago, at the annual pre-Grammy party, Whitney Houston, the great star, walked on stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performance．

Last Saturday, Houston was once again the focus before the Grammy, but her presence was a regrettable one．Earlier that day, the pop music's former queen was found dead in her hotel room．She was 48．This, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world．

At her peak(巅峰), Houston was the golden girl of the music world．From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world's best-selling artists．She impressed audiences with her effortless, powerful and peerless performance．

Besides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing, and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You．She also influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey．

But by the end of her career, there was a shocking fall for this superstar．Houston had been addicted to(上瘾) drugs．Her album sales declined (下降) and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse （嘶哑的）, unable to hit the high notes as she used to．

In 2009, Houston staged a successful comeback with the album I Look To You, which fell on top of the charts．But hoarse voice, canceled concerts, and continuous illness-Houston's comeback trail wasn't smooth at all．In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, Houston admitted: "It (show business) is too much for me and I wanted out．"

Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos(混乱), may she rest in peace．

1.Whitney Houston died ______．

A．shortly before the Grammy this year B．earlier last Sunday

C．a year ago D．at the annual pre-Grammy party

2.The underlined word "peerless" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______．

A．having no power B．having no equal

3.The cause of the fall of Whitney Houston was that _____．

A．her album sales declined

B．show business was too much for her

C．her fans no longer love her

D．she had been addicted to drugs

4.According to the passage, which is not Houston’s achievement?

A．She made countless hits such as I Have Nothing.

B．She influenced a generation of younger singers.

C．She became the focus before the Grammy this year.

D．She staged a successful comeback in 2009.

Last Sunday my father and I went fishing along a river. We found the water very dirty

that we could hardly catch any fish in it. A lot of factories along the river always poured

their waste water and rubbish straightly into the river, which made the river polluting. In

this way most of the fish in the river was killed. Unless the rivers all over the country are

polluted like this, no living things will be exist in the water. As we all know, environmental

pollution do great harm to living things. Now more and more people have realized what

serious this problem is. Our government is doing her best to take measure to fight against

pollution. We expect that water in every river will be made cleaner and cleaner before

long.
