Our daughter Megan  is severely disabled.My wife and I cared for her over twenty years at home.Two years ago, we sent Megan to a nearby nursing home where we thought she could be taken care of and become happier. A few weeks after Megan left home, I went to the nursing home to see her.I came across a bicycle attached to the back of a wheelchair rolling out of the front entrance of the nursing home.The bike's unique design and the delight on the faces of the rider and the passenger stopped me. Megan cried when she saw me.She said she didn't want to stay in the nursing home any more and that she wanted to live with us at home.I took Megan out of the nursing home and bought one the very next day.How happy she was to be with us again! We could now get outside for fresh air, exercise and have a chance to be more involved in neighbourhood and community activities. I invested (投资) all my money in buying this kind of wheelchair bike for the people who needed them most.I call the wheelchair bike CAREBIKE.My aim is to permit people who have disabilities and can't walk, as well as the people who care for them to have the chance to enjoy the pleasure of a bike ride. I'm extremely proud of what I've done.All my investment has its true reward when I hear a 100 yearold woman ending her CAREBIKE ride, laughing, or see a disabled man rolling down the road with a smile on his face.Moments like these make it all worthwhile. My job now is to make the world aware of the CAREBIKE.My website provides pictures, videos and the details about the bike.I will provide a CAREBIKE for anyone who really needs it. |

| The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn't stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess. Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer.He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant roundup--how to catch wild elephants. Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life."Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says. But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun."My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters hav  e attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill. The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant."Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans." she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal.An elephant princess indeed! |

| 2. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,________. |
| A. she spent her time hunting with her father B. she learned how to sing love songs C. she had already been called an elephant princess D. she was taught how to hunt tigers |

| A. they are caught and sent for heavy work B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them C. they are attacked and their land gets limited D. dogs often bark at them and chase them |
| 4. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India ________. |

| Britain is set to face an increase in cold winters, with up to oneinseven hitting the UK with longer periods of time when temperatures are below freezing, a study has suggested.The prediction was based on research that found out how low solar activity affected winter weather patterns. However, the researchers were eager to stress that their findings did not suggest that the region was about to fall suddenly into a "little ice age"．The findings appear in the journal Environmental Research Letters."We could get to the point where oneinseven winters are very cold, as we had at the start of last winter and all through the winter before last."said coauthor Mike Lockwood, professor of space environment physics at the University of Reading. Using the Central England Temperature (CET) record, the world's longest instrumental data series that dates back to 1659,the team said that in general temperatures during recent winters had been obviously lower than the longerterm temperatures."The mean CET for December, January and February for the recent relatively cold winters of 2008～2009 and 2009～2010 were 3.50℃ and 2.53℃ respectively," they wrote."However, the mean value for the previous 20 winters had been 5.04℃.The series of lower winter temperatures in the UK during the last three years had raised questions about the probability of more similar, or even colder winters occurring in the future." Last year Professor Lockwood and colleagues published a paper that found a link between fewer sunspots and atmospheric conditions that "blocked" warm westerly winds reaching Europe during winter months, opening the way for cold easterly winds from the Arctic and Russia to sweep across the region.Professor Lockwood, while acknowledging that there were a range of possible meteorological factors (气象因素) that could influence blocking events, said the latest study moved things forward by showing that there was "improvement in the predictive skill" when solar activity was taken into consideration. |
| 1. We can know from the second paragraph that ________. |
| A. research shows that Britain will soon fall into an ice age B. Mike Lockwood's research focuses on space environment physics C. it was quite cold in Britain over the entire winter last year D. so far oneinseven winters have been very cold in Britain |
|
2. The underlined word "mean" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to "________"． |
| A. average B. stable C. ungenerous D. changeable |
| 3. What can we infer from the last paragraph? |
A. It wa s sunspots that blocked warm westerly winds reaching Europe.B. Meteorological factors hardly have any influence on blocking events. C. The latest study done by Professor Lockwood was of little practical value. D. Considering solar activity or not affects the accuracy of weather forecasting. |
| 4. What's the best title of the passage? |
| A. Another Big Danger Approaching the UK B. Research Finds out Solar Activity Is to Blame for the Cold C. UK Faces More Cold Winters Due to Weaker Solar Activity D. Changes in Weather Patterns Should Be Responsible for Low solar Activity |

| The singer, Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they can't always get what they want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times. I've always complained about the quote(引语). Although over time I have told myself to learn from it. This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school. The last two months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job. I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. The other day my mum had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mum that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person. I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need. |
