         Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain
    near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I
    learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the
    mountain." Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed,we couldn't have enough time to spend
    together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to
    talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
        Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds'singing, but as time
    passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that mountain, but
    my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it
    before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life."      
         At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and
    confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).
    1. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was _____for Father and Son. 
    A. hard     
    B. enjoyable      
    C. painful      
    D. comfortable
    2. The word "quit" in the passage means "______".
    A. carry on    
    B. put off      
    C. give up      
    D. pick up
    3. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the father's words in the second paragraph?
    A. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.
    B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.
    C. You can find life is full of nice things.
    D. Never give up half-way.
    4. The best title for the passage is "______".
    A. Reaching the Top of the Mountain    
    B. Standing at the Top of the Mountain
    C. Conversations between Father and Son  
    D. How to Get to the Top of the Mountain

         MONTREAL (Reuters) -Crossing the US-Canada border (边界) to go to church on a Sunday cost
    a US citizen $10,000 for breaking Washington's strict new security (安全) rules.
         The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.
    The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
         There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5, 530-mile border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
         As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to
    the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs(海关) station in this area is closed
    on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate
    appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the
    customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.
         Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces
    the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
         Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. "I feel like I'm living in a prison," he said.
    1. We learn from the text that Richard Albert is       .
    A. an American living in Township 15
    B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village
    C. a Canadian working in a customs station
    D. an American working in a Canadian church
    2. Albert was fined because he       .
    A. failed to obey traffic rules
    B. broke the American security rules
    C. worked in St. Pamphile without a pass
    D. damaged the gate of the customs office
    3. The underlined word "detour" in Paragraph 5 means      .
    A. a drive through the town
    B. a race across the fields
    C. a roundabout way of traveling
    D. a journey in the mountain area
    4. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. A Cross-country Trip
    B. A Special Border Pass
    C. An Unguarded Border
    D. An Expensive Church Visit

         Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight
    began. What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, the disputants sit down with
    peer mediators (同龄调解者). Peer mediators are students with special training in this kind of problems.
         Peer mediators help the disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use:
         1) Put what you think clearly but don't say anything to hurt the other. Begin with "I feel…" instead of
    "You always…
         2) Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don't stop the other person's words.
         3) Keep looking at the other person's eyes when he or she talks.
         4) Try to see the other person's side of the problem.
         5) Never put anyone down. Saying things like "You are foolish" makes the talk difficult.
         6) Try to find a result that makes both people happy.
         Peer mediators never decide the result or the winner. They don't decide who is right and who is
    wrong. Instead, they help the two students to find their own "win-win" result.
    1. The underlined word "disputants" refers to the students ________.
    A. who make peace  
    B. who give in
    C. who are lazy                  
    D. who quarrel
    2. When there is a fight at school ________.
    A. the peer mediators decide who the winner is
    B. the peer mediators and the disputants talk together
    C. the students who quarrel decide who the winner is
    D. the two students sit down and listen to the peer mediators
    3. Peer mediators' work is ________.
    A. to give lessons to disputants
    B. to find out who starts a quarrel
    C. to give students some special training                          
    D. to help find a way to make both sides happy
    4. Which of the following ways is not used by Peer mediators in finding a "win-win" result?
    A. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.
    B. Try to see the other person's side of the problem.
    C. Never say things like "You are foolish"
    D. Never keep looking at the other person's eyes when he or she talks.

         I received pictures of my daughter floating (漂浮) on a lake in California. Right there under the sun
    during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her.
        When I showed it to my students, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖) movie.
        "But she will get dark," they said.
        "That's what she wants," I told them. "We think darker skin (肤色) is beautiful."
         They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon.
          For years, American girls spend their summer trying to get as tanned (晒黑) as possible. In China,
    on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round.
         What in the world is going on?
         The pale skin we think looks unattractive (不漂亮) is what Asian women want. Both groups want
    to meet their culture's standard (标准) of beauty.
         In the US, if you can afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach,
    where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter vacation in some sunny
    spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth.
         In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didn't have to work out in the hot
    sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore
    lots of white makeup (妆容). The tradition survives to this day.
        So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard.
        But now I am noticing that a new business - the tanning booth (美黑店) - started up in China. I
    admire those brave enough to define(给…下定义)their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what their
    grandmothers would have to say to them about it!
    1. The students were shocked at the picture the writer showed them because ______. 
    A. they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit  
    B. the writer's daughter was wearing very little while out in the sun
    C. it is dangerous for a girl to be out on a lake alone
    D. with the powerful sunlight the writer's daughter would have got a suntan
    2. According to the article, which kind of woman meets the American standard of beauty?
    A. Women with blond hair.        
    B. Women with a slim figure.
    C. Women with tanned skin.        
    D. Women with pale skin.
    3. In the US a winter tan usually means the person _____.
    A. is hard-working                    
    B. doesn't have to work
    C. has a lot of money and spare time

                                                              Keep safe in storms
         In the spring and summer months, thunderstorms (雷雨) are common.   1   In thunderstorms, lightning
    can strike (击中) people and buildings and is very dangerous.
         It was reported that a man was struck by lightning when he was making a phone call under a tree. He
    died at once. You may not know it, but nearly 1,800 thunderstorms are happening at any moment around
    the world.   2  
         So what should you do during a lightning storm? Scientists say that a person's chances of being struck
    by lightning are 1 in 600,000.   3  
         If you are indoors during a thunderstorm:
         *Stay away from anything that is metal because lightning can come into the house through it.
         *Don't stand near the windows.
         *Don't take a shower or bath. Lightning can travel through water.
         *Never use the phone.  4  
         If you are caught in a thunderstorm outdoors:
         *  5   If there's no building around, try to find a low place to stay in.
         *Do not go under a tree because the lightning could hit the tree and travel through the tree to hit you.
         *Never use a cellphone.
    A. But you can reduce those chances by following these safety rules.
    B. But it is very important for us to learn about lightning.
    C. Lightning could travel through the phone line and hit you.
    D. In fact, many people are killed by lightning every year.
    E. Try to get home as soon as possible.
    F. Since they happen often, some people don't take them seriously.
    G. Go into a nearby building or car right away.
