My grandfather Andy Anderson is 99. His life story is one for the big screen -- he met my grandmother on a Saturday, and they married on the following Saturday. They stayed together until my grandma died 67 years later.
Without going to college, Andy worked his way to the top. He became the manager of the dairy department of Safeway. He earned the nickname Mr. Cheese, which eventually turned into Grandpa Cheese among the family. He has taught me a lot and here' s what he has learned in his 99 years.
Always maintain a good sense of humor. Find something humorous in every single situation. Never be too good to start at the bottom. Exercise every day, even when you don' t feel like it. Don't spend more money than you make. Save your money now and spend it later.
You must be able to forgive, even if it' s difficult to do. Love is not always easy; sometimes you have to work at it. Your family is the most precious thing you will ever have in life.
If you are faced with a problem, don' t delay trying to figure it out. But if there's no way to figure it out, you have to forget about it. Make sure you' re doing what you love; don't be afraid to follow those dreams you have for yourself.
School education is important, but not necessary. Life can be an education in itself. Explore your world and stay curious; Having a bad job is better than having no job at all; Try not to take yourself so seriously. Don't ever be afraid to be your true self. Your life is delicate, and if you fail to take care of yourself properly, you'11 spoil.
Life is a gift that you must unwrap. It' s up to you to determine if what's inside will lead you to happiness or frustration. You have the power to make that decision for yourself.
All of above come from Grandpa Cheese. If you're wondering what Grandpa Cheese is up to these days, he' s riding his motorized scooter (踏板车) around Benicia, CA, and "planning on what I'm going to do when I start to get old," he says.
1.Which of the following agrees with Grandpa' s philosophy?
A. Exercise if you like it.
B. A good job secures a happy life.
C. Happiness makes longer life.
D. Love needs efforts.
2.If you have a problem with no solution, the best way is to _____________
A. leave it aside B. have a sense of humor
C, take care of yourself D. keep trying
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. The author' s great-grandparents are living a happy life now.
B. Whether life will be happy or miserable is decided by yourself.
C. School education helps develop curiosity about the world.
D. Andy was called Mr. Cheese before being a Safeway manager.
4.The passage is probably from _____________ .
A. An advertisement. B. A biography.
C. A political newspaper. D. A science fiction.

In 1996, John Tierney suggested in the New York Times Magazine article that “recycling is garbage.” He wrote, “The money spent on recycling programs should have been spent on real social and environmental problems. Recycling programs not only increase energy use and pollution, but also cost more money than the disposal (处理) of plain old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”
Environmental groups were quick to express their disagreement. They wrote reports on how recycling programs in cities can reduce pollution and cost less than regular garbage pickup and disposal. Michael Shapiro, an official of the US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), said that “recycling can be good value for money, although there’s still room for improvements.”
But in 2002, New York City, a pioneer of recycling, found that its recycling program was losing money, so it stopped glass and plastic recycling. Other major cities watched closely to see how New York was dealing with its remaining program (the city never stopped paper recycling). But then it closed its last landfill (垃圾填埋地), and private companies out of New York raised prices due to the increased workload of carrying away and disposing New York’s garbage. As a result, glass and plastic recycling became profitable for the city again, and New York brought the program back. According to Cecil Adams of The Chicago Reader, the lessons learned by New York are relevant everywhere. He believes that, if managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities less than garbage disposal.
Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are many, keep in mind that it better serves the environment to “reduce and reuse” before recycling is even considered as a choice.
1.Why did John Tierney think “recycling is garbage”?
A. Because he considered recycling a wasteful activity.
B. Because he didn’t think recycling was a new idea.
C. Because he found few people would like to recycle.
D. Because he didn’t like the environmental groups.
2.Which argument was put forward by the environmental groups?
A. Recycling technologies are mature.
B. Recycling programs save money.
C. Recycling programs cause pollution.
D. Recycling technologies are valueless.
3.Why did other cities watch closely to see how New York was doing?
A. Because New York was doing extremely well.
B. Because they didn’t want to have a recycling program
C. Because they felt worried about the waste of money.
D. Because New York was running a new recycling program.
4.Which of the following would the author most probably recommend?
A. Always bring your own shopping bag when you go shopping.
B. Always put your shopping bag into the dustbin after use.
C. Never go shopping where shopping bags are offered for free.
D. Never use a shopping bag which is not recycled.

One of the special features of English people is self-discipline (自律). Generally, English people are polite and always want to please others. On the other hand, they don’t like to show their emotions, even in dangerous situations. Imagine the scene! Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the forest. Anybody else would be anxious to run away. The English would just try to hide their emotions. Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.
We often hear of the English "reserve"(矜持). On a long railway journey, with four Englishmen sitting together, often there won’t be a single word spoken during the whole journey. The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions. That wouldn’t be the case in America. In a short ride in New York, a taxi driver will tell you about himself, his wife and his family, and probably the towns of England he has visited, too.
The English value privacy (隐私) very much. An Englishman’s house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors’. An Englishman’s house is his castle.
Finally, we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish (苏格兰的) people —the Scottish dress. Scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume —the kilt. This short, skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men.
The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan, which is very special in Scotland.
1.When the English are in a dangerous situation they usually _______.
A. laugh at other people B. behave very bravely
C. hide their emotions D. run away immediately
2.In the second paragraph the author mentions a taxi driver in New York to ________.
A. explain what a personal question is
B. show the bad manners of Americans
C. show that English people are not very polite
D. show the reserve of the English
3.What do we know about the kilt in the last paragraph?
A. It’s long and just like a skirt.
B. It’s worn by both men and women.
C. It’s made of a special type of cloth in Scotland.
D. It’s a traditional costume all over Great Britain.
4.What can we learn about the English from the passage?
A. They are not very confident.
B.A house with a fence all around makes them feel safe.
C.They usually don’t respect others’ privacy.
D. They prefer a house with a garden to a flat.
