| The yearly Marathon in my town usually happened during a heat wave. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance (救护车) 1 any of them needed medical attention. "We're supposed to stay behind the 2 runner, so take it slowly," I said to the driver, Doug, as the race started. The front-runners started to 3 and then my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a loose white T-shirt. We knew we were already watching our "last runner." Her 4 were so crippled (残疾的) that it seemed almost impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon. Doug and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. 5 , she was the only runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face when I watched with respect 6 she pushed forward with great determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, rubbish lay everywhere and the 7 crowds had long gone home. Yet, standing straight and ever so proud 8 a lone man. He was 9 one end of a ribbon (缎带) of crepe paper (皱纹纸) 10 to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her. I do not know this woman's name, but that day she became part of my 11 - a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn't about 12 the other runners or winning a prize, but about 13 what she had set out to do, no matter 14 . When I think things are too difficult or I get those "I-just-can't-do-it," I think of the last runner. Then I realize how 15 the task before me really is. | ||||

| I started teaching English abroad when I was 22, soon after I graduated from university. I'm 35 now and have been doing it ever since. If you want to travel the world, there're a few ways to earn money while you do so. You can pick fruit, pull pints or teach English. The third one has definitely suited me best. I taught in Russia, Argentina, Spain and Slovakia and stayed an average of two years in each country. Our flat is in the Sanlitun area, not far from the main football stadium, and I work at various schools in the city. The demand for English language teachers is staggering. Basically, if a Chinese person wants a job with an international company such as Hewlett Packard, then English is a must. In China there's no shortage of work, though the pay can vary. If you teach English as a second language at an international school, you can earn 22,000 yuan a month, about ￠2,200 or￡1,500. If you're short of cash, you can always do a bit of extra private tuition, which pays really well-about ￡30 an hour. The best thing about Beijing is that you aren't going to be lonely. There's a huge expat (侨民) community here, mostly based in Sanlitun and growing all the time. I don't know my way around Dublin or London very well, but I can tell you Beijing is the restaurant capital of the world. |

|
[ ] |

| 2. The underlined word "staggering" in Paragraph 2 means "____". |
|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |
| A. often felt lonely in Sanlitun B. was satisfied with living in China C. was very familiar with Dublin D. liked Chinese restaurants best |

| One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before. "How dare you hit me like that?" shouted Wilson. The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing. This insult (侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge. Now, the judge, who heard the case was a friend of the young man's father's, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair. Finally he said to Wilson, "I understand your feelings in this matter very well. Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?" Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished. "Well, then," said the judge to the young man,"I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson." Ten coins was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it. Wilson waited for him to return with the money. He waited an hour, and then two hours, while the judge took care of other business. When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly and hit him hard on the back of the neck. Then he said to him, "I am sorry, but I can't wait any longer. When the young man comes back, tell him that I have passed my right to the ten coins on to you." |

| For Chinese, it's a time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi (粽子). But across the Yellow Sea, South Korea, wrestling (摔跤) and swing play are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name-the Dragon Boat Festival-which falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar. One festival, two cultures: does one nation have the right to call its own? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO联合国教科 文组织) to make the celebration its cultural heritage (文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation. As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event. Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of local culture. With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue about which country the festival belongs to. "No one can deny that it came from China," said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province. "But if all the countries involved can protect culture heritage together, they will all benefit." |
| 1. The underlined word "highlights" can be probably replaced by "____". |
|
[ ] |
| A. most exciting events B. highest lights on the building C. brightest lights at night D. most famous festivals |
| 2. It can be inferred that South Korea ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. has proclaimed (宣布) the Dragon Boat Festival as a part of its cultural heritage B. has the exactly same Dragon Boat Festival as China C. has no idea that China has such a festival D. is paying more attention to its cultural heritage than China |
| 3. China is not happy with the situation because ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. it created the festival B. it is also making an application C. South Korea has no right to call the festival its own D. UNESCO may approve (批准) South Korea's application |
| 4. If South Korea's application to UNESCO is successful, ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. China will also make its own application to UNESCO B. it will be meaningless to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival C. people from other parts of the world will think South Korea created the festival D. the Dragon Boat Festival will become part of local culture |
| 5. The author would probably support ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. a move by South Korea to cancel its application B. China getting UNESCO's approval of the festival first C. the opinion of Zhou Heping D. China paying more attention to its cultural heritage |
