I didn't know how to help him because I didn't have any money either. 7 , I never lost hope. Instead I tried to think of other 8 and told him not to worry because everything would be all right. Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day 9 I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been 10 because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money? All I knew was that I needed to help my friend!

Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My friend didn't know how to thank me. I just said, "Come on! Give me a 17 !" Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you can find it on the 18 time in your life!

| Mark Twain was my hero when I was nine because that was when I discovered Tom Sawyer. But even at the height of my admiration, I couldn't agree with him that Anne, the main character in Anne of Green Gables, was "the dearest and most loveable child in fiction since the best-known Alice". I had read Anne of Green Gables as well as Tom Sawyer, and she had made me as sick as a dog. Another Mark Twain's quote will explain my problem. He said, "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant (无知的) that I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." I gradually understood his words as growing up. When I picked up the book again a few years later, I too was astonished at how much it had improved-and shortly afterwards shocked by the fact that not only could I be a fool in all sporting, artistic and practical matters, I could also be so when it came to reading too. On rereading, then, I learned that Anne is indeed a dear and most lovable child. I couldn't help adoring the girl who insists that her name be spelled with the "e" instead of Ann as she believes that is "so much more distinguished." She is a brave and determined survivor of a severe upbringing who has refused to let her circumstances crush her spirit. She arrives at Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert's farm with everything unfavorable-orphaned, unwanted and her biggest trouble of red-hair and freckled (有雀斑的) face. However, she gets along well, through her strange way of seeing things, through her honest love of beauty and lovable attempts to master her unreasonable desires. She finally wins over the Cuthberts, their neighbors and millions of readers who have met her over the 101 years since the book was first published. When I settle down with it these days, I've come to see the truth in Mark Twain's praise for the book, and this reminds me of the great truth that you are never too young to start rereading. |
| 1. According to Paragraph 1, we can know the writer ______. |
| A. believed Anne to be loveable B. admired Mark Twain because of Anne C. regarded Tom Sawyer as the dearest child D. disagreed with Mark Twain's opinion on Anne |
| 2. By referring to Mark Twain's remark on his father, the writer wants to prove that ______. |
| A. people's attitude may change B. learning can change a person C. the relationships between people can improve D. young people never make correct judgments |
| 3. The reason why the writer admires Anne now is that _______. |
| A. she is an ambitious girl B. she is welcome by the readers C. she adapts to her environment well D. she changes her name to make it easy to remember |
| 4. The writer's purpose of writing the passage is to ______. |
| A. recommend Anne of Green Gables B. express admiration towards Mark Twain C. prove that people's first impression can not be right D. encourage us to reread the books that we may not like at first |

| Why texting harms your IQ The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user's IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as "infomania". The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men. It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person's mind. It can cause a constant distraction of "always on" technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences. Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person's mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one's characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. "This is a very real and widespread phenomenon," he said. "We have found that infomania will damage a worker's performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working." |
| 1. We can learn from the passage that "infomania" ______. |
| A. has a positive influence on one's IQ B. results in the change of part of the brain C. lies in the problem of lack of concentration D. is caused by too much use of modern technology |
| 2. The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ______. |
| A. the important function of advanced technology B. the damage to one's brain done by unhealthy habits C. the relevance between IQ and use of modern technology D. the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness |
| 3. The underlined word "scrutinized" probably means "______". |
| A. examined carefully B. copied patiently C. corrected quickly D. admitted freely |
| 4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? |
A. B. C. D.     CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion |

| It took me more than 10 years to realize that the world has no shortage of fashion (时尚) designers who have the ability to make trendy and elegant garments, but that it is badly in need of, simply, clothes designers. My own definitions would set fashion and clothing greatly apart. It is a fact that, in the shopping malls, there are plenty of beautiful garments whose unpredictability makes our life colorful and interesting. You are almost convinced: You can buy whatever you dare to think. There is no doubt that fashion designers are usually with high qualifications. They study fashion trends, select colors, and make sure the final production of their designs is done properly. However, as experience grew with age, my attraction to arts became ever stronger. I have a strong desire for clothing to stand as does paint to the painter, as does stone to the sculptor, as a simple and particular language of an individual creation, which draws the audience from an appreciation of the surface to deeper thoughts with the world of the soul. I believe that the most meaningful creative motives should arise through caring for other people, the great care of humanity-a concern for human feeling and spirituality. This includes love, but it is bigger than love, and it is unconditional. I believe the greatest works of art can touch the deepest and strongest parts of human feelings and the world of the spirit, and only these works can be the memories of history, preserving the most valuable feelings that have ever existed, and inspiring a greater awareness of ourselves. I am not satisfied if people only appreciate clothing if it merely satisfies their desire. I believe clothing could be a specific creative language for communicating ideas and thoughts, for inspiring you and shaping your behavior. Those clothes fashioned out of necessity possess a power that can continue to exist across the ages. This is what I have tried to achieve, the clothing to return to its original simplicity, the clothing to help people regain the natural sense. The true fashion today should not follow the trends. It should instead uncover the extraordinary in the ordinary, for I believe the pleasure you get from the clothing is not its price, but its spirit. |
| 1. According to the writer, most fashion designers are ______. |
| A. lack of imagination B. deep in thought C. unproductive D. trendy |
| 2. By saying "This includes love" in Paragraph 2, the writer regards "love" as ______. |
| A. a very important part of the spiritual world B. what can be achieved through the works of hand C. one of the most meaningful creative motivations D. a form of concern for human feeling and spirituality |
| 3. The writer indicates that the primitive clothes are made as a result of ______. |
| A. respect for nature B. spiritual value C. necessity D. simplicity |
| 4. What is the main idea of the passage? |
| A. Humanity is fundamental in fashion design. B. The growing fashion trends present human interest. C. Designers must concern for the desire of consumers. D. Fashion clothes have close relations with earth predictions. |

| Do It Yourself "Do it yourself (DIY)" is a term used to describe building or repairing of something without the aid of experts. It came into common usage in the 1950s in reference to home improvement projects which people might choose to complete independently. 1 It promotes the ability of the ordinary person to learn to do more than what he thinks is possible. From the late 20th century, we have given in to the convenience of being told the "right way" to do things because it is convenient. 2 We have organized shopping, organized entertainment, and even organized marriage. With the development of industrial revolution, we have had our clothes and furniture made with the help of the machine. Our food supply has left our backyards and ventured (冒险) into the factory. Things get cheaper and easier to find, but we buy as one and eat as one. DIY culture holds a powerful belief: 3 That statement may seem like the DIY movement is quite self-centered, but there is great evidence that the opposite is true. By creating with our own minds and hands, by relying on what has come before and projecting what will be, we have become open to many possibilities. 4 People can both create to serve their own needs and find the value in what others create. In other words, we can both learn how to make what we desire ourselves and consume goods made by others. 5 But the joy of DIY culture is how we begin to find our interconnectedness, for example, our talents of swimming and skating with the talents of others in our community. |
| A. Almost everything in our life has been arranged in a system. B. DIY provides us with some particular requirements and tools. C. People can have what they want if they can learn to make it themselves. D. We question the lifestyle based on our values and fashioned with our hands. E. Of course the danger of DIY culture is that we try to become entirely self-confident. F. In recent years, DIY has taken on a broader meaning that covers a wide range of skill sets. G. We can sew our own clothes, grow vegetables, and do other activities that put us in touch with |
