| I consider myself one of the luckiest people I know. I lost my biological mother when I was 9 and when she was alive she was not much of a mother to me. I met my step-mom for the first time when I moved to America to be reunited with my father. From the beginning she made sure to let me know that I was safe and welcome. I remember when I first saw her at the airport. It was different but not uncomfortable. After I was picked up from the airport we went home and she unpacked my luggage. Then she took me shopping for new clothes since the ones I had brought with me from Africa were a bit worn. That night before I went to bed she came to my room, which was the first room I had ever had for my own, with the first bed I didn't have to share. She told me she was glad to have me and that she would take good care of me. Before she walked out of my new room, she asked me for a hug. I had no idea what she was talking about. I did not know what the word hug meant, not because I didn't speak English, but I had just never heard the word before, let alone knew what it meant. So, I just looked at her with a questioning expression on my face. But she didn't give up. She called my father into the room and asked him to explain to me what she meant. When my father was explaining I looked at her and wondered why she wanted to hug me. She then told me it was because she loved me and opened her arms wide. Shyly I opened mine and we hugged. That was my very first hug and I was 11 at that time. I'm 23 now and, thankfully, I have received many hugs since then. I consider her my birth mother because life began when I came to stay with her. For the first time there were no kids for me to take care of and I became a child for the first time. There was no work waiting for me every day other than the occasional chores that she gave me to teach me responsibility. Today I say thank-you to my mother; thank you for giving me my childhood back after it had been taken away from me. I am who I am today because of your love! 1. What was the author's life in Africa? A. Difficult. B. Amusing. C. Challenging. D. Satisfactory. 2. The author was puzzled at her new mom's request for a hug because _______ . A. her new mom didn't open her arms wide in time B. the word" hug" made no sense to her at that time C. her English wasn't good enough to understand it D. she didn't hear what her new mom was talking about 3. We may learn from the passage that the author _________. A. didn't need to do any work in her second home B. met her new mom when she was nine years old C. felt safe and loved by what her new mom did D. had a very big family to support in Africa 4. What can be the best title for the passage? A. My New Home B. My First Hug C. My Childhood D. My African Memory |

| Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays (紫外线) while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper The Telegraph. The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a rough path) in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District. They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas. The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height. Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes. If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes. Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness. 1. You would most likely find the article in ________. A. a medical magazine B. a travel journal C. a doctor's diary D. a physics textbook 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness. B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all. C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin. D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK. 3. The underlined word "sunscreen" in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______. A. sunglasses B. sun cream C. sun hat D. sunburn 4. What will the passage most probably talk about next? A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan. B. Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas. C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas. D. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined. |

| BEIJING - After a night of wining and dining with 50 of China's richest people, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates told the journalists on Thursday that the biggest difference between eating with Chinese tycoons (企业界大亨) and Western ones was the food. "I was amazed last night, really, at how similar the questions and discussions and all that were to those in the dinners we had in the U.S.," said Mr. Buffett. Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates, two of the best known Westerners here, announced in September, 2010 that they planned to invite 50 wealthy Chinese tycoons to dinner in Beijing to encourage philanthropy (慈善事业) among China's new rich. On Thursday, the two men pronounced the dinner a great success, saying that two-thirds of those invited had shown up, and that more than half of them had offered their own ideas on how Chinese philanthropy should work. The guest list wasn't made public, but the Chinese news media reported that it included Jet Li, the movie star; Niu Gensheng, the founder of a Chinese dairy business; and Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin, who control the SOHO China real estate (房地产) empire. As with four earlier dinners held in the United States, Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates said, no one at the Beijing event was asked to donate money or to promise to engage in charity. "Bill and I won't be calling anybody. What happens in China will depend on what the Chinese people feel about a project of this sort," said Mr. Buffett. China is widely reported to be second only to the United States in the number of dollar billionaires. Mr. Gates and Mr. Buffett said the nation was unique because its wealthy class had arisen almost wholly in the past 30 years, so the philanthropic practices established among European and American dynasties are new here, and open to change. The two said the dinner wasn't a long planned matter, but an offshoot (衍生事物) of a trip that Mr. Buffett had already scheduled to Guangdong and Hunan Provinces, where BYD Company, a maker of clean-energy automobiles, has factories. Mr. Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, holds a 10% stake (股金) in the company. But Mr. Gates suggested that their philanthropic trip wasn't yet over. "We may do an event in India," he said. 1. What is the text mainly about? A. A brief analysis of future philanthropy. B. The development of Chinese philanthropy. C. An introduction on Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates' trip in China. D. A charity dinner held in Beijing by Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates. 2. According to the first two paragraphs, Mr. Buffett really wanted to say that _____. A. the dinner was quite a success B. the food in the dinner was very delicious C. Chinese tycoons are similar to Western ones D. it was pleasing to discuss with Chinese tycoons 3. We can learn from the text that __________. A. China has the largest number of dollar billionaires in Asia B. many people have promised to donate money at dinner C. Beijing will be the last stop of their philanthropic trip D. the Chinese news media published the complete guest list of the dinner |

| No one wants to be tested. We would all like to get a driver' s license without answering questions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam. But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a constructive role. They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off. They tell teachers what their students have learned -- and have not. They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others of their age. They encourage students to make more effort. It is important to recall that for most of this century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high - quality education. The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions of children were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and foreign language. This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have access to a high-quality education. Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family. In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests. Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programs. In their efforts to improve student performance, states are increasing teachers' salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education. Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children. And this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate from high school. 1. According to the passage, school exams enable ______. A. teachers to understand if their students have made efforts B. parents to compare their kids' behavior across schools C. students to meet their teachers' requirements D. governments to make right policies 2. "Dumbed - down programs" in Paragraph 3 refer to the programs which . A. lead to high-quality education B. are less academically challenging C. are intended for intelligent students D. enable children to make steady progress 3. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A. Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests. B. Tests should focus on what students have actually learned. C. Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high - quality education. D. Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones. 4. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To re-assess the value of IQ testing. B. To defend the role of testing in education. C. To explain what high-quality education means. D. To call for thorough and complete reform in education. |

| Every day has just 24 hours - and this applies to all people. Some people are constantly pushed for time. This article is about how we can learn to manage our valuable time more effectively. In reality we cannot manage time. We can only manage ourselves and our relationship with time. 1 And habits are not that easy to changes. Below here are tips that can help you manage your time better. Organize your goals. Organize your goals based on two criteria: degree of urgency and importance: a. Should be done today, tomorrow, etc. b. Should be done at "that date". c. Can be put off for so many days. d. Can ask someone else to do it. 2 Clean up your list. Make a list of everything you think that is not helping or benefiting you and do not do them! Focus on one goal. Concentrate only on one goal at a time. Otherwise, if while dealing with something you think about everything you can do later, most likely you will get bored and disappointed. 3 The boredom (厌倦) is guaranteed with this way of thinking. Identify your deadlines. 4 Divide the activities per day / week and long-term goals to get a clear picture of what you have to do and when. Find suitable work environment. 5 Be realistic. Make sure that your goals are realistic and do not try for the impossible. Say "NO". Learn to say "no" to other activities, requests and people who eat your time (unless indeed at that very moment it is necessary for you to help them). A. Allow time to adjust your list if necessary. B. After all, how we use our time is largely a matter of habit. C. Create a suitable environment to work, one that fits your style. D. Check the list of what you should do and when it must be completed. E. After organizing your goals, start with the most important and urgent. F.
