         I once thought that outer beauty is the only factor to become a greatperson.When I was young,  
    I read many kinds of books,  most of which described characters who are handsome or beautiful.So
    I think that being beautiful is the only way to become a success.
         As I grew up,  the story of my best friend made me realize that outer beauty was not so important
    to make a person successful.She was so beautiful a girl that every classmate liked to chat with her,  
    but she was very arrogant.In her opinion,  she could get all she wanted because of her beauty,  but all
    of her friends left her one by one!Only then did she come to know the importance of the beauty in a
    person's heart,  which c hanged her attitude and she made friends again.
         Turning on TV,  we can see many advertisements,  most of which seem to give us a feeling that
    physical attractiveness is the most important thing.There_seems_to_be_a_boom_in_plastic_surgery.It
    is surprising that more and more people,  especially girls and women,  try it like the first man－made
    beauty in China,  Hao Lulu.It is a common sense that attractive people can easily find work.Most good
    looking guys usually get higher scores in the job interviews.But,  what is real beauty? I want to say that
    is inner beauty because those who have beauty in their soul are really beautiful persons.
         As is known,  the beauty judged with eyes is temporary,  so we should concentrate on inner beauty.
    And if we make the efforts to make our minds beautiful,  we'll live a happier life.
    1. Why did the author want to have a good appearance when she was young?
    A. Because she wanted to be one of the characters in the book.
    B. Because she wanted to get higher scores in the job interviews.
    C. Because she wanted to follow her friend's example mentioned in the passage.
    D. Because the successful characters in the books she read were attractive.
    2. Why did the writer quote her friend's story?
    A. To show how important outer beauty is.
    B. To show how terrible to be a beautiful girl.
    C. To prove that outer beauty is temporary,  which is not the key factor to become a great person.
    D. To show how beautiful her friend was.
    3. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean?
    A. A large number of people pay attention to outer beauty.
    B. Surgery is becoming more and more popular.
    C. The price of doing plastic surgery is becoming lower and lower,  making more
         and more persons afford it.
    D. The living standard has been improved over the past years.
    4. Which of the following covers the passage best?
    A. How do attractive persons become successful?
    B. Plastic surgery is the best way to make a person become more beautiful and successful.
    C. The key factor to find a good job is being attractive.
    D. Inner beauty is the real beauty.
    5. What do we know from the passage?
    A. If you are too beautiful,  all your friends will leave you out of envy.
    B. If you have a good appearance,  you must get higher scores in the job interviews.
    C. Without the TV advertisements,  there wouldn't have been a boom in plastic surgery.

    　　It is ten o'clock at night and you are outside. You can see many stars in the sky. Each star is another sun. The sky is big, and it hag many suns.

    　　Our sun is near to us. It warms us and gives us light in daytime. The stars are not near. We can see their light only at night, and they do not warm us.

    　　The stars are not all the same. Many stars are quite like our sun. They are the same size, and they have the same colour, yellow. Other stars are bigger or smaller. A “giant(巨人)” star is very, very big. A “dwarf(侏儒)”is a small star—smaller than the sun.

    　　Stars have different colours, too. They can be blue, orange, yellow, white or red. There are giants and dwarfs in all these colours. All stars are, of course, very hot. The hottest stars are the blue ones. White stars come next, they are less hot. Then yellow and orange stars are less hot again. Red stars are the least hot, and they are also the oldest stars.

    　　Light moves very quickly across the sky, eighteen million (18,000,000)kilometers in a minute. Our nearest star is a red dwarf. Its name is Proxima Centauri ( proxima ＝ nearest), and it gives a weak, red light. We can just see this light. It left Proxima Centauri 4.25 years ago, and now tonight, it is reaching cur eyes. Think about it! In one minute, 18,000,000 kilometres. So, in 4.25 years—well, how many kilometers? You can find the answer yourself.

    　　I will just say this: Proxima Centauri is a long way from us.

    [　　]

    A．a “dwarf” is smaller than the sun

    C．a “dwarf” is a small star

    D．dwarfs are the least hot

    3．How far away is the star Proxima Centauri from us?

    [　　]

    A．40,208,400,000,000 kilometres.

    B．9,460,800,000,000 kilometres.

    C．679,140,000,000 kilometres .

    D．279,225,000,000 kilometres .

    4．When we say “The star Procyon is ‘ten light years’ away.”, we mean ________.

    [　　]

    A．we can reach the star in ten years

    B．we first saw the star ten years ago

    　　I can always remember her coming out of her writing room only for lunch each day．She used to walk down through the thin and very graceful, with large, deep set eyes．She wore long skirts in the fashion of the day, any silk jackets of the same color, which suited her well．I pressed her clothes and did any sewing that was necessary．

    　　Her cigarettes were made from a special tobacco called My Mixture．Mr．Woolf bought it for her in London, and in the evenings, they used to sit by the fire and make these cigarettes themselves．

    I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday．The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10∶00 and 4∶00．Since I work from 9 o’clock to 5∶30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break．Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good．But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes．Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus．By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip－so I gave up and went back to the office．The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday．On Thursday, my luck changed．I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes．When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office．I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour．Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town．By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi．It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert．The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me．When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line．The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets．
