         My goddaughter, Shari, owns The Berry Factory in Sacramento, California, and her mother, Joan,
    and I were helping with the Valentine's Day rush of 2011. We'd been preparing hundreds of berries,
    arranged gift baskets and packaged orders to be shipped around the country.
         By the end of the day and I were exhausted. Shari didn't seem tired. That was what Shari liked doing
    especially when she gave someone else something. I'd seen her give away berries to everybody-parking
    attendants, mail carriers, hairdressers. "For me?" they'd say, breaking into a smile.
         As a "thank you", Shari took us out for dinner. But there was a 45-munite wait at her favorite
    restaurant. "No big deal. There's another place just up the road," she said, driving us there. This time we
    walked right in. While the waitress took our drink orders Shari reached into her handbag, pulling
    something out.
         "I want you to have these," she said, handing the waitress a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries.
         "Will she love those berries!"I said to myself. But the waitress seemed extremely surprised. She hardly
    let out a "Thank you" before grabbing the box and rushing into the kitchen.
         A few minutes later, the waitress returned with our iced tea. " I apologize," she said. " It's just …my
    best friend and I made an agreement to send each other something every Valentine's Day. But she passed
    last year. I didn't know how I'd get through this day without her. Then you handed me that box."
         "I'm so sorry to hear that," said Shari. " It's not much, but I hope you can enjoy them."
         "Oh, I will," the waitress said. " See, every year we always sent each other the same thing: a box of
    chocolate-dipped strawberries bought from our favorite store, The Berry Factory.

         In our home it was natural to fear our father . Even our mother was afraid of him. As children, my
    sister and I thought every family was like that. Every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossible
    to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children.
         We were good children. Mom was always telling us we were, even if Daddy couldn't see it . part of
    this was because we didn't dare to do anything.
         Then came the day we found something new and fun to do. We worked at drawing with chalk on our wooden front door and making lots of pretty pictures all over it. We had a great time. We thought Mom
    would love it and praise us.
         The praise we expected did not come. Instead, Mom was mad. We did not understand why, but we
    knew we were in big trouble!
         Off we ran to find a place to hid. In our wooded yard it was not hard for two small children to find
    safety. Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move. Soon we heard the frightened voices of Mom
    and our neighbors calling out to us.
         The sun set and it began to get dark. Those around us became more anxious, and we became more
    frightened. However, we still didn't move.
         As we clung (紧紧拥抱) together in the dark, we became aware of yet another voice, one we
    recognized with great fear: our daddy. But there was something strangely different about it. In it we heard
    something we had never heard before: fear, agony (痛苦) and despair. Then came his prayers in tearful
    voice. Our daddy was promising God that he would give his life to him if he would safely return his girls.
         Nothing in our lives had prepared us for this kind of shock. Neither of us remembers making a
    decision to come out. We were drawn to him like a magnet (磁铁), our fears disappearing into the forest. We didn't know yet if we actually took steps or if God somehow moved us out and into Daddy's arms.
    What we do remember were those strong, loving arms holding us and crying, hugging us like we were
    precious.
         Things were different after that. We had a new daddy. Our whole family was changed by a piece of
    chalk.

          Every year, World Blood Day is celebrated by blood services worldwide on 14 June, the birthday
    of Nobel Prize winner Karl Landsteiner, the man who discovered the ABO blood group system. If you
    have every thought of becoming a blood donor, just register to do it. And you should never worry about
    the donation.
         Just under a pint (around 470ml) of blood is taken at one sitting. This amount is no more than 13
    percent of your total blood volume, and is quickly replaced by your body.
         It may come as a surprise, but whole blood is only rarely used. Different blood components are used
    to treat a range of conditions. None goes to waste. Red blood cells are frequently used to replace heavy
    blood loss after an accident, surgery or childbirth. White blood cells and antibodies (抗体) are used to
    help people fight infections if their immune system doesn't appear to be responding to antibiotics (抗生
    素). Plasma (血浆), the straw-coloured fluid which carries the blood cells and contains proteins, are
    used to treat burned patients.
         First-time donors should be aged between 17 and 65, weigh at least 50kg and be in good health. If
    you have donated before, you can start being a donor again up to your 70th birthday.
         Although most people are able to give blood, some people who pose health risks or are at a higher
    risk of having come into contact with an infectious disease are no tasked to be donors. Pregnant women
    or those who have had a baby in the last 9 months should not donate blood.
         Blood has a very short shelf life. Some blood components can be kept longer than others, for instance
    red blood cells will keep for 35 days but platelets(血小板)for only five. Remember, you should wait at
    least 16 weeks before donating blood again.
    1. People should never worry about the donation mainly because _____.
    A. it causes no pain to their body
    B. being a blood donor is a great honor
    C. their bodies can produce new blood soon
    D. people have a mature research on it
    2. What component of blood is used to treat burned patients?
    A. Plasma
    B. Red blood cell
    C. Antibody
    D. White blood cell
    3. We can learn from the passage that _____.
    A. whole blood is most widely used in hospital
    B. platelets can be kept for more than 10 days
    C. people can donate their blood four times a years
    D. people can donate at most 470 ml of blood each time
    4. Who can donate their blood?
    A. A teenager who is studying in a primary school
    B. A mother who is about to give birth to a new baby
    C. An adult who smokes and drinks from time to time
    D. A man just coming back for a place suffering from malaria
    5. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
    A. To teach people how to be a blood donor
    B. To give people the knowledge of blood donation
    C. To advise people to benefit from blood donation
    D. To remind people of the importance of blood donation

         The great Snipe is a little shore bird-not one that would be considered a great athlete. However, a
    recent study has shown that these slightly fat birds not only fly nonstop for long periods of time during
    their annual migration, but do so at record speeds.
         The brown migratory birds (候鸟) that are about the size of a pigeon (鸽子) spend their summers in
    Eastern Europe and winters in Central Africa, a distance of about 2,800 to 4,000 miles. In May 2009, a
    team of researchers led by Dr. Raymond Klaasen from Sweden's Lund University fitted ten Great Snipes with tiny geo-locating devices (装置) that allow scientists to figure out when and where the birds travel,
    and let them loose. The following year they found three of the birds and took back the devices. What
    they discovered was quite stunning.
         All three birds had flown nonstop to Central Africa in August of 2009-one had flown 4,225 miles in
    just 3.5 days. The second one had covered a distance of 3,833 miles in three days, while the third had
    managed to fly 2,870 miles in a mere 48 hours or two days. Even more surprising was that these birds
    had traveled at speeds that averaged about 50 miles per hour-making it the fastest known migration ever.
         While many birds migrate longer distances, they do so over a period of a few months, resting and
    feeding in between. However, despite the fact the Great Snipe has plenty of opportunities, it does not
    stop. And they do the entire flight with their own power, with no assistance from the wind. The tiny bird
    is able to make this unbelievable direct flight because of all the fat it gradually gathers in its body, which it
    then uses as fuel.
         Native no North Eastern Europe, Great Snipes live in marshlands and wet meadows (沼泽地和湿草地). But they are also on the list of endangered animals because of loss of habitat.
    1.What is the text mainly about?
    A. A new device used to follow birds
    B. A recent research on endangered birds
    C. A unique migration route of birds
    D. An unusual species of migratory bird
    2. The underlined word"stunning"in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by "______".
    A. amazing
    B. worrying
    C. disappointing
    D. fascinating
    3. What do we know about the three birds scientists found?
    A. The second spent the least time flying
    B. They could fly about 1,200 miles a day
    C. The third flew the slowest among the three.
    D. They started their journey from Central Africa
    4. During their migration, Great Snipes _____.
    A. frequently pause to feed
    B. fly with the help of the wind
    C. use the fat in their body as fuel
    D. sometimes take the opportunity to rest
    5. This text can be classified as _____.
    A. humorous
    B. explanatory
    C. novelistic
    D. poetic

         All people have dreams and they obey the rule that if you can dream it, you can achieve it!Here are
    four goals for people to reach a perfect life in their future.
         The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high
    levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advance in medical science,
    the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people
    who have poor health habits. Remember that health is not everything, but without health everything is
    nothing!
         The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships-intimate, personal or
    social-with the people we like and respect, and who in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be
    determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you
    get along with people, and how much they like and respect you, have more impact on the quality of your
    life than perhaps any other factor.
         The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want
    to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted(晋升)faster. You want to
    earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do
    .
         The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the
    point in life where you have enough money so that you never have any financial worries. You want to be
    completely free of them. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without referring to the price
    listings to determine what you want to eat.
