        One Sunday morning, I decided to buy a computer to use for school. I went to the biggest store in town,
    which sold all kinds of computers. There were so many computers there that I didn't know how to choose
    a right one. 
        "Hi! What can I do for you?" A young man greeted me with a sweet smile. He looked like not a salesman
    but a student like me. I sensed a strange feeling-as if I had met him before. He began patiently showing me
    each model. With his help, I decided to buy one computer with enough functions at a very low price. I
    enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile. A few months later, something was wrong with my
    computer. I went back to the store to have it fixed. When I arrived there, what I saw first was still his smile.
    As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to solve the problem for
    me. I was quite grateful to him for his sweet smile and good service. 
        When I went back to school, his smile often appeared in my mind. I don't know whether we'll meet each
    other again, but his sweet smile will stay there in my memory and deep in my heart. Smiling is the most
    peaceful language in the daily life.

           What is your favourite colour? Ask famous persons like Cate Blanchett, Searlett Johansson and Bono, and

    interested in green fashion.

    Tree pays the men and women good money for the clothes they create.

         Recently, a solar powered (太阳能动力的) plane took to the sky for the first time. It had passed an
    important test on the way to travel around the world.
         The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland (瑞士) at 45km an hour. It slowly rose above the
    fields and into the sky.
         "There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly - never an airplane so big, so light, using
    so little energy," said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
         During the 90-minute flight, the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside.
         Engineers plan to test a night flight before July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a
    second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.
         The plane flies at 70 km an hour. That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. Piccard and pilot Andre
    Borschberg will take the plane around the world. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days
    at a time.
         "We want to fly it day and night with no fuel (燃料)," Piccard said.
    1. How long did the first flight of the solar powered plane last?
    A. 45 minutes
    B. 60 minutes
    C. 70 minutes
    D. 90 minutes
    2. What's the most special about the plane?
    A. It uses no fuel
    B. It's the fastest plane
    C. It can fly highest
    D. It's the heaviest plane
    3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. The plane goes much faster than a car
    B. The plane took off at a speed of 45km an hour
    C. Engineers plan to test a night flight before July
    D. The plane will fly in the air or up to five days at a time
    4. Which column (栏目) of a newspaper may the passage come from?
    A. Food and Health
    B. Scientist and Technology
    C. Culture and Communication
    D. Sports and Entertainment

        What makes 15,000 men and women run for hours, and what makes them run through the streets on a
    cold day without coats? I was one of those runners. The race is called marathon (马拉松).
        I had never run more than eight miles before, and here I was training. Since the race is in April, I had to
    run throughout the winter, and in Boston, winters are cold. For most people, just putting on their shirts,
    sweaters, jackets, and hats is exercise enough. I found myself out on the dark streets, running along ice
    sidewalks (人行道). Even in gloves, my fingers got so cold that they looked like red carrots. My nose didn't
    get warm until lunchtime!
        Finally, the big day arrived. The weather was cold, with ice and rain. Bang! The gun sounded, and we
    started. I didn't go anywhere at first because I was standing behind so many people. I had to wait for them
    to move.
        At first, the running was easy. The other runners just seemed to pull me along. Somewhere around the
    20-mile mark I even said to myself, "This is nothing, why did I train so hard?"
        Then I hit "the wall". "The wall" is what marathon runners call the special point. I knew my body reached
    the point and I thought I couldn't go any more. I was out of breath and my legs turned into pieces of wood.
    I was almost falling down. I can't remember anything about the last five miles of the race.
        I kept running though. At last, I heard a voice at the finishing line.
        "You look good," my friend Ted said. "How did it feel?"
        "Wonderful!" I replied.
        For everything, if you devote yourself into it, there will be a way. I finished the race, at least, in my heart,
    I was the winner.
    1. Which one best describes the weather on the race day?

    [     ]

    A. Cold and rainy.
    B. Cold and sunny.
    C. Dry and cloudy.
    D. Wet and foggy.
    2. How did the writer feel about the race during the first 20 miles?

    [     ]

    A. Difficult.
    B. Boring.
    C. Easy.
    D. Interesting.
    3. According to the article, what must someone do to prepare for a marathon?

    [     ]

    A. One must eat certain food and get plenty of sleep.
    B. One must be willing to eat, sleep, and train twenty-four hours a day.
    C. One must run along ice sidewalks every day.
    D. One must be willing to train a lot and doesn't give up easily.
    4. Then I hit "the wall". What do you think "hit the wall" means here?

    [     ]

    A. 撞击墙壁
    B. 到达极限
    C. 抵达终点
    D. 中途加速
