Twelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it. But it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.
Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.
For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the desperation someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.
Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.
With the assistance of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.
My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.
1.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?
A. It was impossible for the author to get a job then.
B. Many local people were out of work in Florida.
C. Florida was not a good place for people living there.
D. The author rejected many chances to get a job in Florida.
2.Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?
A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.
B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.
C. Because he went there to help the poor.
D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.
3.Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author_____.
A. had lived with his relatives happily.
B. had won his degree in a university.
C. had been struggling financially.
D. had lost hope of facing the future.
4. From his experience, the author learns that ______.
A. misfortune may be an actual blessing.
B. a friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. where there is a will there is a way.
D. one good turn deserves another.

Personality is, to large extent, inherent --A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor lives of their children.
One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying,"Rejoice, we conquer!".
By far the worst form of competition in school is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.
Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into Bs. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.
1. According to the author, what factors contribute to the building of personality?
A. Inheritance.
B. environment .
C. Competition.
D. inheritance, competition and environment.
2. The phrase "soak up" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. pull up B. take up C. take in D. pull in
3. What attitude does the author hold toward examinations in schools?
A. positive B. negative C. doubtful D. neutral
4.What suggestion does the author make concerning the management of schools?
A. All students be made into competitive A types.
B. A child's personality be considered in regard to his possible future job.
C. All students be changed into B characteristics.
D. Schools abolish all forms of examinations.

Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.
Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.
Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means: do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food, too.
When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.
1.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.
B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.
C. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.
D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.
2.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. Your textbook. B. Your study desk or table.
C. Your dictionary. D. The equipment you need.
3. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. You shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.
B. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.
C. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.
D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.

Nature is full of color, from rainbows and roses to butterfly wings and peacock tails. Even the fruits and vegetables you eat have different colors: blue blueberries, red strawberries, green broccoli, and orange carrots.
Plant and animals often use color to attract attention. The substances responsible for these colors belong to a class of chemical called antioxidants(抗氧化物). Plants make antioxidant to protect themselves from the sun's ultraviolet(紫外线)light.
Ultraviolet light causes chemicals called free radicals(自由基)to form within plant cells. They can destroy parts of plant. Free radicals also have damaging effects on human beings. Some of these effects like wrinkled skin can be seen. The damage is caused by the free radicals attacking cells in our bodies. Certain cancers and heart disease are linked to free radicals.
Our bodies have natural defences for fighting off free radicals. While we are young, our defences are pretty strong. However, they get weaker as we get older. The body’s built-in defences can only go so far without extra help.
The key to fighting free radicals with fruits and vegetables is to mix and match colors. It’s like sunscreen(防晒霜)for the inside of your body. Go for a range of very bright colors. Colorful foods contain hundreds of healthy chemicals not found anywhere else.
Research into how chemicals in blueberries affect the brain's function in rats suggests that these chemicals may help our own brains work more efficiently.
Don't just blame the sun. Ultraviolet light isn't the only source of free radicals. If you breathe polluted air such as smog, automobile exhaust(废气), or wasted gas from a factory, you take in chemicals that also cause such damage. And, the body itself produces free radicals as it processes food.
1.Which of the following NOT true?
A.Antioxidants are responsible for plant colors.
B.Plants use color to attract attention.
C.Antioxidants help free radicals to attack plants.
D.Antioxidants can protect plants from ultraviolet light.
2.In which order do the following facts occur?
a .Wrinkled skin can be seen
b .Ultraviolet light causes free radicals to form
c .Free radicals damage cells in our bodies
d .The sun gives out ultraviolet light
A.a,b,c,d B.d,b,a,c
C.c,a,d,b D.d,b,c,a
3. We need extra help for fighting off free radicals from fruits and vegetables because ____.
A.our defences get weaker as we get older
B.our bodies’ defences are not natural
C.we are too young to defend ourselves
D.our bodies’ built-in defences can only go away
4.Which of the following can NOT cause free radicals to form?
A.Ultraviolet light from the sun
B.Colorful food
C.Polluted air
D.The body itself
