         When I wake up on summer mornings, I know I am going to my favorite place to volunteer and make
    a difference in someone's life just by being with him or her-a summer school for autistic (患孤独症的)
    children.
         By helping the kids read or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping them feel
    like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel.
    They need help only in certain areas.
         Of course, each kid is special. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.
         At the school, the kids learn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skills they
    will need later in life.
         The very first day I volunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said "Hello."
    From then on, I knew I could make a difference.
         Another boy loved to have me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could be
    encouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during reading practice, he read nearly 220
    words himself!
         Summer school is also a time for fun. Last summer, bagpipe (风笛) players came to perform. Most of
    us had our hands over our ears because they were so loud. When they asked for a volunteer from the
    audience, one girl raised her hand as high as she could, got up on stage, and even tried the bagpipes in front
    of everyone.
         Through these experiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing
    many amazing things. I'm teaching them, but they are teaching me more.
    1. According to Paragraph 2, many people think autistic kids _____.
    A. can't read or do math
    B. don't have important skills
    C. don't play with other kids
    D. can't think or feel
    2. The author believed he could make a difference when _____.
    A. a boy greeted him actively
    B. a boy let him read books
    C. a boy could read by himself
    D. a girl tried the bagpipes
    3. The phrase "these experiences" in the last paragraph refers to the following EXCEPT _____.
    A. "I" read the books for kids
    B. a boy read nearly 220 words himself
    C. a girl tried the bagpipes on stage as a volunteer
    D. a boy said hello to "me" politely
    4. What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?
    A. His teaching experience in a summer holiday.
    B. How to make a difference in others' lives.
    C. His experience as a volunteer in a special summer school.
    D. Autistic children's hard life.

         I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that
    something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Sh we with her
    three- month- old calf struggling in the fastrising water, and it was a life- and- death struggle. Her calf was
    floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole
    body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the
    rushing water would sweep the calf away.
         There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was
    gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the
    rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on
    a narrow shelf of rock.
         Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I
    knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the
    other side from where she had put her calf.
          While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Shwe had crossed
     the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time,
    but to her calf it was music.

    1. The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw _____.
    A. the calf was about to fall into the river
    B. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock
    C. the calf was washed away by the rising water
    D. Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water
    2. How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast flowing water?
    A. By putting it on a safe spot.
    B. By pressing it against her body.
    C. By taking it away with her.
    D. By carrying it on her back.
    3. How did the calf feel about the mother elephant's roaring?
    A. It was a great comfort.
    B. It was a sign of danger.
    C. It was a call for help.
    D. It was a musical note.
    4. What can be the best title for the text?
    A. A Mother's Love
    B. A Brave Act
    C. A Deadly River
    D. A Matter of Life and Death

         "BANG" the door caused a reverberation. "Never set foot in this house again!" shouted father. With tears
    welling(涌出)up in my eyes,I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.
         A young father who held a child in his arm walked past rile. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another
    space:happy and harmonious (和谐).
          But now I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We are just
    like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never
    be opened.
         I wandered the street, without a destination in my mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night.
    As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people in the streets, until I had only streets to keep me company.
    When I finally reached the high rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
         I thought to myself, "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?" In fact, it was nothing.
    Perhaps, Dad was throwing some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the
    courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
          All the lights were off except father's.
         Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never
    showed any mercy or regret. After an argument he will creep (蹑手蹑脚) up in my sleep and then tuck me
    underneath the covers.
         This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has
    become his second nature.
         The light was still on. With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to
    open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door
    that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it is second to none.

         What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red?   1   . Do you prefer greys and blues?
    Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least,
    this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the
    meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.    2   . If you happen
    to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. 
           3   . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;
    and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.    4   . A black bridge over the Thames
    River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was
    repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even
    more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. 
           5  . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when
    their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
    A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
    B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow
        up-we are born with our preference.
    C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
    D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
    E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
    F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
    G. Colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it

    or there will not have any trees leaving on the earth. No trees means no paper. We need 17 trees make one ton
    of paper. We must start using fewer paper. How can we save paper? Firstly, we can use both sides of paper.
    We can reuse again envelopes. We can use plastic cups and plates instead of paper one. We can either use
    handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues. Beside, we can use fewer paper shopping bags and we can reuse these
    paper bags late.
