My friend had mentioned the other day that her father had a lot of children's toys he was looking to give away．She knew I have a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first．I told her I would love it if I could get some nice things for my daughter，which I wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford．

When I met her father，he began to explain he was too poor once and that he would hate to throw away things that can be very useful．

Before he showed me what he was giving away，I thought the toys would be mostly lego's(樂高積木) or things like that．When he was showing me around I saw a bed，a slide，a kitchen set and many other things that just blew my mind．He told me to write a list of everything my daughter could use and as my eyes were wide，he told me not to feel guilty．He said I was helping him by getting rid of the stuff．

As I was looking around I did feel guilty，but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty．Every time I tried to thank him for giving me and my daughter all this wonderful stuff he would thank me right back．I wanted to believe that he was just thanking me so that I wouldn't feel so guilty but in reality I believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use．

In the eyes of charity，it makes sense to feel grateful，but guilt is just as normal．I know that we could have lived without a slide，which is why I do feel guilty，but I am grateful all the same because my daughter really does enjoy all these nice things!

1.Why did the old man want to give away his toys?

A． He wanted to help those poor children．

B． He was wealthy enough to buy new toys．

C． He wanted to make full use of those toys．

D． He needed some space for more useful things．

2.In the writer's opinion，the old man felt grateful because

A． he wanted to make her more guilty

B． he wanted her to take the toys quickly

C． the toys would be put to good use

D． he finally got rid of the stuff

3.What can we know from the passage?

A． The writer took all the toys home．

B． The old man was a kind and thoughtful person

C． The writer wanted to refuse the stuff when she first saw them．

D． The writer's daughter enjoyed the slide most among all the stuff．

4.How did the writer feel when given the stuff?

A． Guilty and honored．

B． Grateful and respected．

C． Honored and respected．

D． Guilty and grateful．

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed． When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed． Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of． It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits． Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live． Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them．

There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help． Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on．

Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on．These are all easily formed habits．Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided ．

We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others．

1.________ are formed little by little．

A． Good habits

B． Bad habits

C． Both good habits and bad habits

D． Either good habits or bad habits

2.The underlined word "them" in the first paragraph refers to ________．

A． bad habits

B． good habits

C． children

D． other persons．

3.Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?

A． Because habits are of great help to every one of us．

B． Because a man can never get rid of a habit．

C． Because it's hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits．

D． Because we are forced to do them again and again．

4.According to the passage, early rising ________．

A． has something to do with success

B． is an easily formed habit

C． is such a habit as should have been avoided

When we hear of dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease are often what first comes to mind． Recently, a virus (病毒) called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea (a country in West Africa), killing 62 people so far． It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc, Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.
Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976．There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Restoon, Bundibugyo, and Zaire．The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.
Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats (果蝠), which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on (吮吸) their blood．Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids (液體) of the infected animals．Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.
Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries．Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry — the capital of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus．It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.
Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola．Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition．Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the affected．The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.
1.The news of Ebola in Guinea is mentioned to ________.
A． make a brief summary
B． introduce the topic of the text
C． compare Ebola with cancer
D． show the latest study of viruses
2.What can we learn about Ebola?
A． It is a newly discovered virus.
B． It is the most dangerous virus in the world.
C． It was named after where it first happened.
D． It could cause immediate death for anyone infected.
3.What is mainly described in Paragraph 3?
A． What the Ebola virus is.
B． The influences of Ebola.
C． The treatments for Ebola.
D． How the Ebola virus spreads.
4.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A． Ebola is a highly infectious virus.
B． Ebola is now very common in Guinea.
C． Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.
D． Females are more easily to be infected by Ebola.

“At least you’ll be close to home!”That phrase dominated the weeks before my move to my college．I took comfort in knowing that home was close by if I needed it

The night before the move，I spoke with a sophomore(大學二年級)friend of mine who was moving back the next morning．I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate．“It was nice to be back but honestly。I’ve come to think of the college as my home．”Up until that moment，the move to college seemed like an extended version of summer camp．School wasn’t a home；it was a place for me to explore when I was away from home right?

As I packed my things，I really started thinking about the concept of home，and I couldn’t help but wonder would I ever consider college my own home? The next day，once my bags were unpacked and my parents were gone，I took a moment to look around my dorm．It was absolutely nothing like my room…no bunnies，no blue curtains and no queen—sized bed．Despite the fun I was having and things I was learning in the following Welcome Week，I couldn’t bring myself to call it home．I longed for my bunnies．I even wanted my mom’s calls．“There’s no place like home．”I murmured．

Last night，I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared-our families，our friends，our old lives—and soon the sadness turned to fondness．One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls，all laughing and sharing our high school experiences．It wasn’t until about l：00 a．m．that I turned to my roommate，unconsciously saying，“It’s getting late…we should probably go home soon．”I was taken aback by my own words．Somehow in the few hours，my dorm room had turned into a home．

1.How did the author react to her sophomore friend’s response at first?

A．She quite agreed with her friend．

B．She was completely certain about it．

C．She thought he was telling a lie．

D．She was surprised by his response。

2.The author mentioned the bunnies twice in the passage to suggest that .

A．college lacked a friendly atmosphere

B．she didn’t get used to her college life then

C．pet-keeping was not allowed in college dorm

D．college should prepare bunnies for new students

3.Whv was the author taken aback by her own words at the end of the passage?

A．Because she began to call her college a home．

B．Because there were so many girls gathering in the dorm．

C．Because she lost a good chance to forget homesickness．

D．Because it was rude to say that when everyone was happy．

4.What made the author begin to take college as a home?

A．Decorating her dorm like a home．

B．Her previous family lives.

C．Friends’ shared feelings．

D．Comforts from other girls.
