While the other kids seemed excited about celebrating the end-of-term party by playing games and sharing treats, Jeremy hated the very idea of the gathering.
Afraid to raise the pressure too high, I decided to contribute something that was easy to purchase on the walk to school.
Off we went the day of the party, approaching his school as if nothing was planned. I reminded him of our need to make a purchase, entered his favorite shop, and asked him to select the ripest bunch of grapes. He shot me an anxious look and insisted none of his classmates ever be able to notice he had something to bring to the party. My vision of a successful parenting method, resulting in delivering a sociable child to his school, diverted(转移) sharply from reality.
Back on route, I did my best to hide the sinking feeling of fear. How could I possibly drop him off and then walk into my own classroom to teach a successful class?
My next move was born in the heat of the moment. I said a quick goodbye at the front gate and rushed to his classroom through the emergency exit. I managed to inform his teacher about the grapes in the backpack and be out of the classroom before I could be spied by my son.
So, what happened on that June day? His teacher, a caring educator, worked wonders. My son and I still laugh about the way Mr. B started the day with an unusual question, “Does anyone have any grapes?” While Jeremy admits feeling a bit uncomfortable, the words encouraged him to takeout the fruit. Because of the support he received, he remembers that day with pride for his courage.
1.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “vision” in Paragraph 3?
A. Use.B. Research.C. Understanding.D. Imagination.
2.How did the author feel when she left the shop?
A. Worried.B. Satisfied.C. Grateful.D. Regretful.
3.Why did the author hurry to her son’s classroom?
A. She went to ask the teacher for help.
B. She went there to give her lesson.
C. She was afraid of her son being punished.
D. She was invited to take part in the celebration.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The teacher inspired Jeremy to share grapes.
B. Jeremy prepared for the coming party.
C. The author helped Jeremy to become sociable.
D. The author taught Jeremy to select goods

There are a lot public holidays for Chinese people, such as National Day, May Day, and Children’s Day. But I think we should have other holiday——Farmers’ Day. Firstly, China is a agricultural country. Farmers really play a very importantly role in China. They provide food for us, without which we cannot to live. Secondly, farmers offered a lot to the development of industry. Lastly of all, most farmers work hard, with little time to enjoy themselves. Some people look down upon farmers so they think farmers do not have many knowledge. I suggest that there should be a Farmers’ Day to show respect for these 900 millions farmers in China.

I was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown-up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic.
Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives.
It seems that there is a set formula in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, “Will it happen in the real life?”
Movies are also imitating the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audience to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make-believe.
For quite a long time, I think that the adults’ world is realistic in the opposite way of the children’s cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made-up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult’s fairy tales or cartoons.
To sum up, other than false comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly.
1.With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks that_____.
A.they give him hope of justice and tomorrow in life
B.they are for adult and that he is now an adult
C.they help him forget the real world
D.they are similar to cartoons he used to watch
2.Which of the following is true about the type of movies the author mentions?
A.The hero or heroine simply has met no difficulty at all.
B.The hero or heroine is able to deal successfully with any problems.
C.Sometimes there are cartoon characters in the movies.
D.The audience know they are simply foolish stories.
3.The underlined word “make-believe” in Paragraph 4 probably means_____.
A.something imagined to be real
B.something too ideal to believe
C.a happy ending all the audience desire
D.a belief that is based on facts
4.According to the author, which of the following is the side effect of the movies?
A.People may be confused by them.
B.Movies can usually improve real life.
C.Film fans just follow the movie stories.
D.False comfort may mislead the audience.

I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.
Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.
I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.
We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help
you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”
Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you” when you say “thank you”, it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle of the modern flight.
1.What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?
A. Grateful.B. Fearful.C. Admiring.D. Doubtful.
2.How did the author like her roommate’s job?
A. It was the same as hers.
B. It was more interesting than hers.
C. It was easier than hers.
D. It was more serious than hers.
3.Why does the author fly every Christmas?
A. Because she has nowhere to go.
B. Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.
C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.
D. Because she’d like to earn more money.
4.What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots”?
A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.
B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.
C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.
D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.

Americans think a great deal of about time. From childhood they learn to value time. As children, they were taught to be on time to go to school, to do work and to do everything. When they are having good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying, they say he is living on borrowing time.
Time is money, is knowledge, and is everything in America. A working American must work hard for 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week, that is the working time. On his spare time he also works for less money. Even Saturdays and Sundays are filled of activities. In the street you can hardly see a man who walk slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.
