【题目】 Personal growth would be a good way to sum up Tarik Black. Indeed, at this very moment, the man himself is sporting a ski cap with the words “Be More" on it, which he takes to heart.

They organized an art show in Los Angeles where the teenagers got dressed formally and learned how to
socialize with others. In Houston, they partnered with the National Tennis Association for a charity event.
“My mother would drive me around Memphis and show me people who are growing up in circumstances that don't have opportunities. She would always tell me, 'If you ever get a chance to give back to these people , then you must," he says, leaning back into the chair.
The family moved to Israel in the summer of 2018 , when Black signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv, Israel's best basketball powerhouse. And the Maccabi Tel Aviv season will end just in time for him to return to Memphis to . conduct his summer camps in July, 2019.
It's still up in the air if Black will be coming back for a second season in Tel Aviv. But he's not worried.“Honestly, the doors are open for us to seek after anything we want if you keep a big picture in mind.”

【题目】 Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.
And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts.” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal's worst affected area.
This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest.
Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster ,”said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.
Requests are being made for international aid, which is only way to limit the disaster, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned.

D.both A and B
【2】The story is mainly about .
A.West Africa's united effort in fighting a disaster
B.the difficulty in controlling locusts
C.how locusts caused great damage to West Africa
D.a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa
【3】The locust disaster .
A.would be even more serious in Asia
B.is out of control
C.affected only the warning areas
D.cannot be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas
【4】Which of the following is WRONG ?
A.Sud-Fm offers a rewarded for fighting locusts so that more people will join in the effort.

C.The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa .

【题目】 Everybody has a different opinion on what qualities make a good person. Some might consider honesty and devotion to be very important. 【1】 , but I believe that the ability to be optimistic is the most essential quality. I also think having a sense of humor and a smile is very important.
Voltaire once said “Life is a shipwreck (沉船), but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboat.” Life isn’t perfect, but why should we focus on the imperfections of life when we can smile. Being positive means looking out the window at a thunderstorm and saying “Wow, the plant will be watered.” If you look up the definition for laugh in a dictionary, it would say “to make sounds from the throat while breathing out in short bursts as a way of expressing amusement.” 【2】. It is like a cure for cancer or an umbrella in the rain. Laughter can protect you from the harmful rays of grief. I believe comedians are the true doctors of this world. 【3】. Laughter truly is the most effective and side effect-free medicine in the world.
【4】. Whether you are from China, France, or Germany, you smile in the same language. A smile has the power to make someone’s day. If you smile at someone, they will probably smile back. Therefore, smile all the time and pretty soon the whole planet will wear a happy smile. Life is like a mirror, and we get the best results when we smile at it.
Laugh your heart out, think optimistically, and don’t forget to smile. Imagine the world to be a happy and safe place to live. I have the power to make the world a better place. 【5】.
A.Life is a bed of roses
B.Laughter is much more than that
C.I agree that these qualities are vital
D.One’s happiness depends on his / her philosophy of life
E.You have that power to make the world a different place, too
F.They give you a free prescription every time you come to their office
G.A smile is one of the only gestures performed and understood globally
