Today I’d like to tell you anything about riding a bike in London. If you visit London, you’ll see many buses, cars or bikes. It’s very cheap and quick to use bike. If you take a bus, I often have to wait for an hour or so. Besides, the buses move very slowly. The underground is quickly but expensive and often crowded. I used to travel to work by bus. I was often late, and tiring. Then a friend suggested we went to work by bike. I followed him. Although we went slowly, but we always arrived on time. Taking a bus takes 50 minutes, while ride a bike only half an hour. Now I love riding to work and I feel more better.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed(診所) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for

me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45

minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis

didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots 點(diǎn)), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems,

why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because.

A. He was new to the class B. He was tired of literature

C. He had an attention disorder D. He wanted to take the task home

2.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

A. He had good sight B. He made a great invention.

C. He gave up reading D. He learned a lot from school

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The disabled should be treated with respect.

B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.

C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological(心理的) first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.

I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to disturb this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.

Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.

In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.

1.Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?

A. He built shelters for them.

B. He came to stay with them.

C. He gave immediate first aid to them.

D. He brought mental health professionals.

2.What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?

A. He decided not to disturb.

B. He went to his friends’ at once.

C. He knew what to do instantly.

D. He hesitated over whether to go.

3.What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Heavy but warm.

B. A little sad but comfortable.

C. Relaxing and delightful.

D. Very serious and unhappy.

4.What has the author learned from his experience?

A. Being present can make a big difference.

B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

C. The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.

D. Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant.

Forest are amazing and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?

Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them — the millipede(千足蟲).

The importance of leaves

When the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.

Food on the forest floor

Some living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where the millipede can help.

More on the menu

The millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.

So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.

1.According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede?

A. It can often be seen on TV shows.

B. It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.

C. It is too small to be noticed by people.

D. It lives under mushrooms in the forest.

2.What does the underlined word "decompose" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Break down.

B. Dry up.

C. Dig in.

D. Make out.

3.What does the author want to tell us by mentioning mushrooms?

A. The millipede eats mushrooms in the forest.

B. The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.

C. Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out.

D. Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat.

4.According to the author, the millipede is ________.

A. poisonous

B. rare

C. unimportant

D. amazing
