18.Half a year before graduation from college,my son David began to seek a job.Due to the financial crisis,the competition was ever-fierce.My son targeted a company that was located in a coastal city.It was intended to employ only one person among more than twenty candidates,I said to David,"You should not harbor too much hope for fear that you would feel terribly disappointed when you fail."He said to me,"I am not afraid of disappointment.As long as I try,there will always be hope!"
Three young men could enter the final round,which would later decide one person to be employed.Everything seemed to go quite well and David entered the final round in a week.
Unexpectedly,the interview was unbelievably simple,during which the interviewer only chatted with them for a while.The interview strategies my son prepared were not useful at all.The interviewer said the company would inform them of the result in 3 days.On the morning of the third day,David received the text from the company that he was not employed.David felt disappointed.
In nightfall that day,David suddenly told me excitedly on phone that he had been employed.Greatly surprised,I asked him,"What's the whole matter?"David told me that he received another text saying that he was employed.David felt very confused about it.Later he found out the first text sent to him was also part of the test in the interview.Three men received the same text this morning and only David's reply was satisfying to the company.I asked my son,"How did all of your reply?"My son said,"One did not reply.The other said‘Goodbye'and I said‘Thank you'."
Only then did I know that my son's"hope"came in that way.That is,when you feel disappointed,do not forget to say"Thank you"to the one who disappoints you.Actually,it is a piece of cake to say"Thank you".Saying"Thank you"shows respect for others'work and demonstrates your grand generosity.Therefore,while under the same condition,you will get the upper hand in terms of opportunities compared with others!
28.What can we learn about David from the passage?D
A.Being short of money,David was eager to find a job.
B.He wanted to work for a company in the local city.
C.He was not hopeful of getting the job.
D.He took a positive attitude towards failure.

D.The result was announced on the spot.

31.What can be the best title of the passage?C
A.Sunshine Always Appears After Storm

D.A Young Man And His Hope.

13.Winter is the time of year when people feel very blessed.This isn't becau se people feel thankful for the cold weather,nor because the important festivals---Christmas or Spring Festival---offer an excuse to celebrate.In fact,"Bless you!"is a common response if someone sneezes,a symptom(癥狀)of catching a cold or the flu.
   Colds and the flu are the most common illnesses of autumn and winter as the weather gets colder.Viruses cause them.If you get one you will feel annoyed,but it is not usually serious.The flu is spread from person to person when we come into contact with a person with the virus.We get the virus on our hands and then we touch our noses and our mouths.We can pass on the flu before we realize we have it.You can infect(傳染) others one day before symptoms develop and for up to five days after becoming sick.
   Getting a flu vaccination is the best way to prevent the illness.Even if your body has built up antibodies(抗體)for one kind of flu.The vaccine(疫苗)is only effective for one year and viruses are different from year to year,so it is necessary to get a flu vaccination every year.The best time to get the vaccination is October or November.Besides,there are other ways to reduce your chance of getting a flu.Wash your hands.Get enough rest.Eat garlic regularly.Don't let stress control you.Exercise regularly.

"Painting my car,"Alan replied.
"I can see that,"his mother said,"but why are you painting one side of the car red and the other side blue?""Because every time I have to go to court for a traffic crime,there are always two witnesses (目擊證人)."What color was the car?"the judge always asks,and the two witnesses always give the same answer.Well,in the future,one witness will say it was blue.Mr.Tsui will then say to the judge,"Your honor,the witnesses cannot even agree on th e color of the car involved in the accident."And the judge will have to dismiss the case against me.

Recently,as the development of the Internet,there is a kind of language called Web language.Some people even speak Chinese mix with English letters.The other day our class had a discussion about if we should welcome the Web Language.
Forty percent of the students think it ridiculous.In their opinion,it does no good to help people communicate,nor is it useful for learning English.Besides,it'll make Chinese more standard and pure,finally ruining Chinese language.However,69% of our class is fond of it.They think it is simple,convenient and helpful in expressing them.What's more,it may make the language more interesting.
Personally,it's a good habit to use the Web language.Popular as it may be,you may also make yourself be misunderstood.
