There’s something about Minot that I’m always going to carry with me. When it got hit last year by the worst flooding in its history, there was this feeling of helplessness. You just watched this water slowly rise and flood the city. It was heartbreaking. But this is a community of people that are extremely strong and not afraid to roll up their sleeves and work to get it back to normal.
I’ve tried to bring as much awareness to Minot as I can, and raise as much money as I can. We held a concert last year, where my wife singer Fergie talked her band the Black Eyed Peas into coming in and doing a benefit concert. From it we raised $2 million towards the rebuilding effort, which was really cool. We won a contest for Oak Park as well, to start rebuilding on that.
Roosevelt Park Zoo is one of my oldest memories. I remember having a birthday party there as a kid. We used to go to look at the monkeys and other animals in the summer when it was open. But after last year’s flood, it was almost washed away, and they’ve got go start from scratch. I think the $25,000 dollars is a great start, but we’re going to have to raise a lot more to get it back to right. Luckily, the community itself is developing, so it’s just a matter of those doing whatever they can to help can to help the community to get it back to normal. However, it’s going to be a number of years for a third of the homes were lost. That will take a long time to heal, and if anyone in the world can get through it, it’s the people in Minot.
1.The author helped Minot fight against the flood by______.
A. donating as much money as the could
B. raising money for it through various activities

D. asking his wife’s band to play to comfort the people
2.The author helped rebuild Roosevelt Park Zoo mainly because______.
A. it was important for the children
B. many performances were held there
C. it reminded him of his happy childhood
D. it was destroyed the most seriously by the flood
3.Which of the following did the author show to us in the text?

C. The difficulty of rebuilding homes in his hometown
D. His worry about the future life of the people in Minot

In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women's shoe section is generally next to the women's cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses, Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
1.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A. Opening the store early in the morning.
B. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
C. Inviting customers to play music.
D. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
2.What is the California builder's story intended to prove?
A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. A good first impression increases sales.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.
D. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
3.what is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To report researches on customer behavior.
B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers
D. To show dishonest business practices.

The English language has many ways to talk about something that is funny. 1. It is a basic human need. Physical humour, especially, can cross limits like nationality and language and bring people together from all different walks of life.
Humour comes in many forms. The most obvious and traditional way we use humour is in jokes. 2.This is when a person changes a word or uses it in a different context(上下文) for comic effect.
Another way people can use humour is through telling a funny story. Perhaps something bad happened to the person but they can laugh about it now. People also invent funny stories in order to make people laugh. The advantage of this is that the characters aren’t real. 3.
Physical comedy usually divides opinions. For some, seeing someone fall down, whether it is planned or not, is one of the funniest things they can see. 4. Some types of humour can also be harmful if someone is not in the mood for being made fun of！People’s senses of humour vary across the world, so what may be funny in your country might be incredibly harmful in another!
5. The British, for instance, are famous for their humour in English. However, people learning a foreign language face much difficulty when it comes to being funny in a second language.
A.Humour is just one of the ways.
B.Everyone needs to laugh once in a while.
C.Other forms of humour are word play and puns(双关语).
D.Therefore, you don’t have to feel bad for laughing at them!

You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together.
You know, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized (对立) by it. Split by: age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing and boys.
The Father-Daughter Duel（冲突） of‘54 shifted into high gear（白热化） when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who accompanied me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a 16-year-old. You were so decent about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship improved greatly when I had babies. I didn’t know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didn’t have to wait long to find out. Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now.
I suppose I saw our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and frail behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
Fifty years ago this spring, we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.
This week, we’ll plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. I don’t even like kohlrabi... but I like planting it with you.
Honoring a father on Father’ s Day is about more than a dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school graduation and weddings. It’s more about unconditionally loving children who are stubborn, who know everything and won’t listen to anyone. It’s about loving someone more than words can say, and wishing that it never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
1. What is the purpose of the third paragraph?
A. To prove that the father is very strict.
B. To describe the father-daughter politics.
C. To show the conflict between the author and her father.
D. To condemn the policeman for lack of understanding.
2.What does the author mean by saying “a slap in the face” in the fifth paragraph?
A. She regretted the fights she had with her father.
B. She suddenly realized that her father was so old and could be gone one day.
C. She was ashamed of herself that she hadn’t taken good care of her father.
D. She suddenly realized that she had caused a lot of trouble for her father.
3.Which of the following words can describe the author’s father?
a. Unreasonable b. Caring c. Tolerant d. Stubborn
A. bc B. bd
C. acd D. bcd
4.The author wrote his father this letter to _________.
A. tell him about their conflicts B. say sorry for her being stubborn
C. express her gratitude to him D. remind him of the early incident
