    Hello. I’m Jan from Mrs. Lake’s class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.

    Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.

    The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.

    We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake’ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we' ll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.

    I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!

    1.What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?

    A. Giving names to the highways.

    B. Drawing pictures of highways.

    C. Picking up litter along the roads.

    D. Putting up signs near the roads.

    2. What should the students do first if they want to join the program?

    A. Pick a spot to care for.

    B. Call Mrs. Lake next week.

    C. Write a letter to their parents.

    D. Go to a meeting on Wednesday.

    3.What is the purpose of this speech?

    A. To encourage students to join the program.

    B. To introduce the traffic system.

    C. To show drivers how to drive safely.

    D. To tell a story about adopting a pet.

    4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

    A. Adopt-a-Pet

    B. Adopt-a-Highway

    C. Ways to Protect the Environment

    D. Volunteers on Roads

    I’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them — to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.

    Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.

    Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it.

    Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies — and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?

    Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.

    In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.

    I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards?

    1. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?

    A. He’s running his company.

    B. He’s playing golf all day.

    C. He’s looking for another job.

    D. He’s playing computer games.

    2. Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text?

    A. Fred. B. Andy.

    C. Liz. D. Chris.

    3. According to the text, Facebook tends to ______.

    A. present another side of people

    B. offer some food for free

    C. show endless advertisements

    D. get you to more parties

    4. The text is developed mainly by ______.

    A. giving examples B. following the time order

    C. listing figures D. raising questions

    5. The author focuses on the question of ______.

    A. what is Facebook B. what happened to golf

    C. who is my real friend D. who can help me

    阅读理解。

    Sam Allred suffers from a rare and incurable kidney (肾脏) disease. One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video — and Sam — became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldn’t have expected the response.

    “(The television show) The Doctors called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”

    During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sam’s mother, had an idea about Sam writing a children’s book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sam’s experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.

    “I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.

    Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.

    “A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.

    Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sam’s ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.

    Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.

    Sam’s father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground. He asked the company for help.

    “FedEx Ground learned about Sam’s pillow project,” says Erin Truxal, manager of public relations for FedEx Ground. “We thought, ‘What a perfect way for us to get involved.’”

    The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.

    Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the children’s hospitals in every state. His goal is simple: “Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick,” he says.

    1. We can learn from the text that Sam Allred _____.

    A. was a healthy boy

    B. was popular at an early age

    C. sang the song with his sister

    D. worked in his father’s company

    2. Opening Hearts is a book that _____.

    A. is a best seller

    B. is about Sam’s sister

    C. was published when Sam was 13

    D. was written by Sam and his mother

    3. What is FedEx Ground’s attitude towards Sam’s career?

    A. Doubtful. B. Surprised.

    C. Approving. D. Uninterested.

    4. Which of the following can best describe Sam Allred?

    A. Optimistic and warm-hearted.

    B. Honest and responsible.

    C. Unusual and confident.

    D. Friendly and brave.

    I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing routines. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didn’t like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing out on opportunities. It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.

    Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldn’t wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasn’t at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadn’t had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace. When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didn’t say a word.

    After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of security（安全） and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn’t provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger — it really can make your day a little better.

    My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didn’t even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.

    1.How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?

    A. People there cared little about others.

    B. People there liked to accept new things.

    C. Living there was a great disadvantage.

    D. There were many chances of career development.

    2.What surprised the author most in New York City?

    A. The gestures of greeting.

    B. The modern transportation.

    C. The fast pace of life.

    D. The crowded streets.

    3.What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?

    A. Travelling to New York City.

    B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.

    C. A big place in his / her town.

    D. Everybody likes talking about others.

    4.What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Love of my small town

    B. A sense of community

    C. A pleasant trip to New York City

    D. Differences between big cities and small towns
