On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't know.I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile.She said, “Hi, handsome.My name is Rose.I'm eighty?seven years old.Can I give you a hug？” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may ！” She gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young，innocent age？”I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one！” she told me.After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.We became instant friends.

Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk non?stop.I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner.I'll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.That doesn't take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change.Have no regrets.The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose”．She challenged each of us to study the lyrics (歌詞) and live them out in our daily life.At the year's end she finished the college degree she had begun all those years.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

In 1997, I found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in: alone and begging for money in New York. My father had been separated from our family, and my mother had recently died from complications related to AIDS. What I remember most about such nights is lying on the cold marble floor and using my backpack for a pillow.

Even though I had lost my family, I made choices every single day to turn my life around. There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door, a non-profit organization that provided me with guidance, medical care and food, all of which kept me going while I completed my homework in train stations and under hallway lights. Perhaps the most surprising help though, I did not seek out it found me. The New York Times told my story. In the weeks that followed, dozens of strangers reached out to me from all across the United States. At my high school, I began receiving handwritten letters of encouragement. Strangers showed up bearing clothes, books, and even hugs. Since the article mentioned I was applying to Harvard, one woman knitted a blanket for me. She attached this note to the box it was posted in: "It gets cold in those dorms. May you warm yourself knowing that people care about you".

With the help of these people, my life today bears no resemblance at all to my life then. I graduated not only from high school but also from Harvard University.

Before these people — some of them nameless — I just didn't realize how good people could be. But now I do, and I can say that the people who helped me have forever changed me. They are the reason behind my decision to join the board at the Door so that I can be part of a small team of people opening a high school for homeless teenagers. They are the reason I dedicate my life to opening pathways for others. And they are the reason I travel around the world helping people transform their own lives.

1.According to the passage, the author ________.

A. tried to change her life

B. often slept in friends’ homes

C. felt lonely because of her illness

D. felt quite desperate for her father

2.What can we learn about the Door?

A. It is an organization helping homeless teenagers.

B. It is an organization seeking profits.

C. It provides entertainment for children.

D. It reports the stories about the homeless.

3.Which of the following is the correct order to describe the author's life?

a. The newspaper reported her story.

b. She graduated from Harvard University.

c. She slept on the cold floor at night.

d. She joined the committee at the Door.

e. Her mother died from the illness.

A. d→e→c→a→b B. e→c→d→a→b

C. e→c→a→b→d D. b→c→d→e→a

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Patience is a virtue.

B. Love can be passed on.

C. Time waits for no man.

D. Honesty leads to success.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A．B．C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

Team building games can be fun for teenagers. They can also be tools for strengthening the group. There are many levels of team building exercises. Let’s look at some activities that can help you build a stronger team.

Pass the Clap

Pass the Clap works well as a beginning activity to help your group get to know each other. Have the participants stand in a circle. One person starts the clap and then turns to face the person next to him. As they are about to make eye contact, they clap together. That next person now has the clap and he has to pass it on. Continue to pass the clap around the circle.

Blindfolded Birthday

Blindfolded Birthday works well after people have become a little more familiar with each other. Everyone puts on a blindfold. Then, without talking, they have to line up in order of birthdays.

Two Truths and a Lie

Two truths and a Lie can be played anytime in the group’s operations. Have the participants sit in a circle. Each person is supposed to tell two truths and a lie about themselves. The group has to guess which is the lie.

Human Knot

Human Knot is an activity best played after your group has gotten quite familiar with each other, because there can be a lot of touching going on. Everyone gathers in a circle. They put their right hands in the middle of the circle. They grab someone else’s hand. Then the left hands go in the middle and they grab someone else’s hand. The group is now knotted up. The object of Human Knot is to untie the group without letting go of any hands.

1.Pass the Clap is most helpful for ________.

A. starting relationships B. rebuilding relationships

C. welcoming close friends D. celebrating some events

2.When playing Human Knot, ________.

A. the participants shouldn’t see each other

B. everyone should grab two people’s hands

C. everyone should tell their birthday to others

D. the participants shouldn’t have any body contact

3.Which game is suitable for both strangers and familiars?

A. Pass the Clap. B. Blindfolded Birthday.

C. Two Truths and a Lie. D. Human Knot.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (烏龜). At the end I said, “Son, remember: Be slow and steady (鎮(zhèn)定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (堅(jiān)忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

1.The writer argued with his son because ________.

A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares.

B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish.

C. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.

D. he tried to teach his son a lesson but the son had different opinion.

2.Sonny believed that the tortoise ________.

A. in fact did win the race luckily

B. took a chance by agreeing to run a race

C. was not given a fair chance in the race

D. won the race by his own hard working

3.Billy, Tony and Sandy must be ________.

A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father

B. boys who Sonny has run races with before

C. boys who Sonny has never raced with before

D. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again

4.According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson?

A. The tortoise B. Sonny

Being an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it？In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity.

However，there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show—because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.

Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space，reported The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go—they just stick to your eyes.

In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks.“Tears，” he said, “don't fall off your eye... They just kind of stay there.”

Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes.But that's not the case in space.The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is painful like crazy.” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.

Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears.Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait—“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around，”astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.

There are lots of small things—things like crying—that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They also can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp(打隔), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up(嘔吐) everything in their stomach，according to the UK National Space Center.

Thus, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say：“Gravity, you're the best.”

1.What can we conclude from Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A．Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space.

B．Astronauts produce fewer tears in space.

C．Tears produced in space flow down more slowly.

D．Tears produced in space don't flow downward.

2.What effect do tears have on astronauts?

A．They cause physical pain.

B．They bring comfort to them.

C．They make their vision clearer.

D．They float around and cause trouble.

3.What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?

A．Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.

B．Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.

C．Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.

D．Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.

4.What's the last but one paragraph mainly about?

A．Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.

B．Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.

C．Why burping is impossible in space.

D．Things that humans can't do without gravity.

During the weekend I travelled by air the first time in my life. I generally travel by train and bus. It is both cheaper and safe. But this was a short journey. In the beginning I didn't feel very happily, but this feeling did not last longer. The journey was very exciting. I was soon high up in the sky among the cloud. The views of mountains, fields and rivers were interested. I enjoyed my short and comfortably journey very much. This experience has shown that travelling in air is actually the safest way of make journeys
