| When Father's Day comes from around, I think first of my stepfather. Don't get me wrong. I loved my biological dad, but he wasn't much of a father to me. It's more like Daddy was his name than what he did. My stepfather is the best kind of dad. He took us fishing,and when I proved too impatient with a fishing pole, hooking trees, people on the banks...anything but fishing, he patiently taught me to use a cane pole. His patience eventually taught me patience. He took us camping, hiking and swimming, too; along the way he taught us about the plants, animals and out of the way places we were discovering. I discovered peace in nature, too. The beach was a favorite destination. I remember my stepfather cooking hot dogs and beans on a little camp stove, often in a sudden shower, always avoiding sand that spread as I ran back and forth. He also took us to the circus, and I got to ride an elephant and it interested me a lot. We went to Disney World a lot, often camping in the park. And one year we took an unforgettable five-week trip from Florida to Wyoming, across the upper states to Indiana, and back down to Florida. He played with us, too, and told us stories. On summer evenings when I'd been running barefoot all day and he'd patiently dig out the splinters (刺) from my feet, I knew I was loved. My stepfather led me to my future husband at my wedding. I insisted I was not nervous as I held his arm so tightly that my nails left marks. In a few years, he became the best Grandpa imaginable to our three boys- taking them fishing and camping, fixing them special foods, teasing them… My stepfather has plenty of interests of his own. He enjoys fishing and camping, he is good at math, and he is a wonderful gardener and photographer. But he has always taken time to care for his family-even his instant family-and that's why I say my stepfather is the best possible Real Dad. |

| I was giving the class when her giggling drew my attention. Walking over to the young troublemaker, I asked for the note in her hands. It was a hand-drawn picture of me, teeth blackened, nostrils (鼻孔) upwards, and the words "I'm stupid" coming out of my mouth. I managed to fold up the picture calmly and continue the class. My mind, however, was working angrily. I knew the two most likely suspects for drawing the picture. Maybe it was high time that I taught them a lesson! Somehow, in the very moment of real hurt and anger, I asked myself very softly, "How can I ever bring good out of this?" When there were about six minutes left of the class, I showed the kids the picture. The whole class was silent. I told them there must be a reason behind such a picture and that now was their chance to tell me the reason. Then I let them write silently while I stood sadly in the back of the classroom. Most of them either blamed the artist or felt sorry. But two notes, from the girls I figured were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too mean and too strict. Reading those notes, I realized that where I thought I was driving them to success I was actually driving them away. I had some apologizing to do. When the kids walked into my classroom the next day, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one signed by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for forgiveness. I was extremely surprised and more than a little shameful. I had my little speech all ready to give to the kids, but they did it before me. |
| 1. What caused the girl to giggle? |
| A. The funny look of the teacher. B. The teacher's interesting lecture. C. The funny picture about the teacher. D. The short story written on the note. |
| 2. Why did the teacher give up punishing the students who drew the picture? |
| A. Because she didn't want to stop in the middle of the class. B. Because she didn't exactly know who drew it. C. because she didn't think it would do any good. D. Because the students' apology removed her anger. |
| 3. The main reason for the students' complaints was that the teacher _____. |
| A. was too strict with them B. didn't five interesting lessons C. didn't treat them equally D. was not kind to them |
| 4. What does the passage mainly tell us? |
| A. Forgiving others is actually helping yourself. B. It is not right to push students too hard. C. Teachers should get along well with students D. Teachers should respect students' choices |

| When creating a digital advertisement or something to promote (促销) a product or service, music is one of the most important aspects. Whether it is simply a jingle (短歌), musical note or any other use of sound, music can play a huge role in attracting a customer's attention or being noticed by your target audience. Music can work hand-in-hand with what you are advertising. Many times the advertising jingle, or saying, is what the audience remembers. Companies such as McDonald's and Subway have used this method many times with different jingles and little sayings that are easy to remember and fun to sing along with. Usually concepts that are part of a jingle would sound conceited (自负的) and pompous (浮夸的) when said in a normal conversation. When put to music however, and sung in a rhythm (节奏), it suddenly sounds attractive. For example, if someone said, "No one does it better than me" in a normal statement, this would sound very conceited. Add music and a tune to this statement and it becomes attractive and fun for others to sing along with. While understanding how important music is for your advertising needs, it is also important for you to know the best way to get special music. Having people from many different backgrounds all over the world write something specifically for you is one of the best ways to get songs written just for you. You simply choose which one you believe is best for the project. So instead of hiring a single songwriter to compose your music, you can run a contest for you advertising jingle and songwriters around the world write you a finished jingle in an attempt to win your contest. |
| 1. What does the passage mainly tell us? |
| A. How to use music in advertising. B. How to get an advertising jingle. C. Advertising jingles can help sell products. D. Advertisements are important in promoting. |
| 2. What makes concepts of an advertising jingle sound attractive? |
| A. Music and tune. B. Word and pictures. C. Beautiful voice. D. Wonderful sayings. |
| 3. According to the writer, the best way to get an advertising jingle is _____. |
| A. to hire a top songwriter B. to invite a famous singer C. to get advice from experts D. to collect works from public |
| 4. What's the advantage of your running a contest for an advertising jingle? |
| A. It will save much time. B. It will cost less money. C. You can get the best works. D. You can sell more products. |

| Earlier this month, the Obama Administration called for increased protection of the world's most southern continent, Antarctica. Scientists say climate change and human activity have increasingly led to the melting of massive (大量的) pieces of Antarctic ice. The disappearance of ice will not only affect wildlife in the area such as seals and penguins. The melting will also cause oceans and seas around the world to rise. This represents a major threat, especially to coastal areas. For example, the ancient city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings, built on a body of water called a lagoon (淡水湖), are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1,600 years ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost two meters lower than it is today. Rising sea levels are not the only threat. The salty water is also destroying Venice's famous buildings and art works. The Italian government is trying to fix the problem with the construction of a seven-billion-dollar system of moving flood barriers. Climate change is also leading to the melting of ice in other areas, such as Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania. It is the highest point in Africa, measuring almost 6,000 meters. The mountain supports five vegetation zones and many kinds of animals. The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain's ecosystems (生态系统) and on Tanzania's travel industry. Also, a valuable record of thousands of years of weat her history will also be lost if the ice melts. Scientists study pieces of glacier to understand weather patterns from thousands of years ago. In the United States, the icy masses in Glacier National Park in Montana may soon completely disappear because of climate change. In 1850, there were an estimated 150 glaciers in the more than 400,000 hectare (公 顷) park. There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists estimate that the glaciers will be gone by 2030. Warming temperatures are also threatening many kinds of plants and animals that live in this mountain ecosystem. |
| 1. The writer developed the passage mainly by _____. |
| A. giving examples B. listing reasons C. making comparisons D. using quotations |
| 2. How many glaciers disappeared since 1850 in Glacier National Park? |
| A. 150. B. 26. C. 400,000. D. About 124. |
| 3. According to the passage, what has been affected in Italy by rising sea levels? |
| A. Many kinds of plants and animals died out in Italy. B. Venice's famous buildings and artworks are being destroyed completely. C. The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. D. Its ancient buildings could be drowned. |
| 4. What could be the best title for the passage? |
| A. Climate Change B. The Melting of Massive Pieces of Antarctic Ice C. Visiting Endangered Places around the World D. The disappearing of the Ice Glaciers |
