         My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to
    kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in
    Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
          On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade
    Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids:"I'm going to Afghanistan". And a few weeks later,
    international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care.
         In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving
    27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement,
    a sense of purpose, and my depression went away. In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the
    tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs.
    Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to
    flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000
    originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water
    and food were also serious problems."Adventures or not?" I often asked myself.
         When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the
    end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would
    visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
          I think about the moment many times during my "adventures". I didn't know how predictive those words
    would be. But I know that she is still with me.
    1. Where has the doctor been in the past few years?
    A. Some countries where he could set up clinics.
    B. Some African countries where flu broke out.
    C. The places where the earthquakes happened.
    D. The places that the horrible disasters struck.
    2. How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?
    A. Tired and troublesome.
    B. Busy and risky.
    C. Meaningful and helpful
    D. Frightening and depressing.
    3. The underlined word "refugees" means people ______.
    A. who are robbed, killed, or wounded
    B. who suffer from flu in movable clinics
    C. who like to take adventures
    D. who have lost homes because of disasters.
    4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? 
    A. the doctor's wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.
    B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.
    C. The doctor's adventures made him understand the love of his wife.
    D. With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life.

         Andrew Carneigie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the
    process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted partly from his ability to sell
    the product and partly from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his
    competitors were reducing their investments. Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through
    hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He
    opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help
    themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced", he often said. Among his more noteworthy contributions to
    society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a
    museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now
    part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic (慈善的) gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for
    International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund
    scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts. Few Americans have been left
    untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity
    . His contributions of more than five million dollars established
    2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library
    system that we all enjoy today.
    1. The author quoted (引述) "He who dies rich, dies disgraced" in the passage to show ______.
    A. He felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society.
    B. He opposed charity.
    C. The wealthy die from their fortunes
    D. The wealthy die from not contributing to society.
    2. Carnegie's success includes following aspects EXCEPT _____.
    A. his policy of expanding.
    B. his ability to sell the product
    C. his ability to produce the product
    D. his hard work
    3. Which of the following may NOT be philanthropic gifts to society according to the passage?
    A. the Carnegie Institute of Washington.
    B. the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh.
    C. the steel industry.
    D. the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
    4. What is the meaning of  "Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's
         generosity." in the passage?
    A. Few Americans have touched Andrew Carnegie's generosity.
    B. Many Americans have touched Andrew Carnegie's generosity.
    C. we all enjoy Andrew Carnegie's generosity today.
    D. Many Americans were given Andrew Carnegie's generosity.

         As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools,
    airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights.
    They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets sage. The problem is that researchers are
    finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.
         Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road
    and watched an attracted meteor shower (流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I
    did that today, I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower as well, and I would surely be run over by a car.
         Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you've
    ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see is wasted
    electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity
    is worldwide.
          Additionally, electricity needs to be generated, and the generation of electricity creates pollution by giving
    off greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.
         Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when
    they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny
    sea turtle hatchlings become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.
         Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative
    effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce
    your contribution to light pollution.
    1. The author tells the story in the second paragraph mainly to _____.
    A. remember the past beauty of the town.
    B. stress the advantages of less pollution
    C. show the great changes of the town
    D. prove the bad effects of light pollution
    2. In the passage the author advises people ______.
    A. to try to reduce unnecessary light.
    B. not to ignore the beauty around.
    C. to set proper light for animals
    D. not to destroy the animal's living conditions.
    3. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A. Light pollution is difficult to deal with.
    B. Light pollution is a threat to some animals.
    C. Light pollution has nothing to do with global warming
    D. Astronauts can't see clearly in space due to light pollution.
    4. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph which follows the last paragraph?
    A. The author's contribution to light pollution
    B. Other sources of light pollution
    C. Ways of reducing light pollution
    D. More bad effects of light pollution

         Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water? Experts say,
    skip it all. None of these products is likely to make you any healthier. Below, we look at four major myths
    about the benefits of drinking water.   1   Experts say there's an easy way to judge. If you are not thirsty,
    your fluid intake is likely "just right"
         Myth No 1: Drink eight glasses each day.
         Scientists say there's no clear health benefit of drinking so much water a day.   2   "Nobody really
    knows," says Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania.
          Myth No.2: Lots of water equals healthier skin.
         The body is already 60 percent water.   3   Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has a limited
    effect."It's such a tiny part of what's in the body," says Goldfarb." It's very unlikely that one's getting any
    benefit."
         Myth No.3:   4      
    A more accurate statement may be: Drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters."Water is a great strategy
    for dieters because it has no calories," says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh."So you
    can keep your mouth busy without food and get a sense of satisfaction." But water is not magical, she adds.
    "Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too."
         Myth No. 4: It's easy to get dehydrated (脱水的) during a workout.
         Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight.   5   "It's also obvious
    that individuals in hot, dry climates have an increased need for water," says Goldfarb. "But for a walk in
    the park, no water bottle is necessary." ?
    A. So where does the standard advice come from?
    B. But it's unclear whether these changes are clinically significant.
    C. So for a 200-pound man, this means losing 4 pounds of water.
    D. Drinking extra water leads to weight loss.
    E. Drink as much water as you can.
    F. So, if you take a 200-pound man, he's 120 pounds of water.
    G. But first, how do you know if you're drinking enough water

    even talking about love affairs online. On my opinion, the cyber café should be a place that we can find
    much useful informations. The Internet should be a window to the outside world rather than place for
    games. The Internet is good if we make a good use of it. Otherwise, it will give us great harm. So the
    local government should take measures to make sure that students use cyber cafes positively.
