The other day, I was invited my friend Sam’s home for dinner. I felt a bit surprising when I saw Bill there. I felt ashamed and didn’t know how to do because two month ago we had a quarrel. I sat down but began to watch TV. Later Sam came to ask I to make peace with Bill. Until then I realize that Sam had arranged the meeting on purpose. I went up to Bill and greeted him warmly, smiled at him. He looked very happily and talked with me excitedly. That night, we had a great fun together.

You’ve heard it repeatedly: Make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water per day. The key words are "at least", because, unless you are a child, you need more water than that. The rule is, for every 50 pounds of body weight you carry, drink one quart of bottled or filtered (过滤的) water per day. The average person weighs 150 pounds, so they should drink three quarts per day. A 200 pounds person should drink a full gallon per day. Athletes should drink even more than that. Follow these and you’ve adopted one of the most important health habits.
Our bodies are mostly water, and water is essential to our every function. Drink the appropriate amount, and everything is much more likely to function at the best levels. If you don’t drink enough water, over the short term you will experience tiredness, dry skin, headaches and constipation (便秘); over the longer term, every body function will degrade more quickly. It really is as simple as that.
Things get a bit more complicated in what type of water to drink. Bottled water and filtered water are both good options. Do not drink tap water or distilled water (蒸馏水).Bottled water should be bottled in clear glass containers, not the plastic containers that transfer far too many chemicals into the water. Filtered water can be obtained through low-cost filters.
Tap water should be avoided because it contains chlorine (氯) and may contain fluoride (氟化物), which is poisonous and can have terrible consequences for the body. Distilled water should also be avoided because it can burn up your body of necessary minerals. It has been tied to hair loss, which is often associated with certain mineral lack.
Finally, drink water at room temperature if possible, as ice-cold water can harm your stomach.
1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “degrade”?
A. Improve. B. Reduce.
C. Strengthen D. Recover.
2.What kinds of water are proper for drinking?
A. Tap water and bottled water.
B. Tap water and distilled water.
C. Bottled water and filtered water.
D. Distilled water and filtered water.
3.What’s the main reason that distilled water isn’t recommended to drink?
A. It leads the body to lack certain minerals.
B. It isn’t clean enough to drink.
C. It contains too many chemicals.
D. It contains fluoride.
4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is harmful to drink plenty of icy water.
B. One may feel tired due to lack of water for a short time.
C. The water with chlorine is not suitable to drink.
D. The water in plastic containers is safe to drink.

Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.
Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”
Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.
She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”
1.What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?
A．They were friendly to her.
B．They showed sympathy to her.
C．They were afraid of her.
D．They looked down upon her.
2.Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to___________.
A．face others’ unkindness bravely
B．hide their scars by proper dressing
C．live a normal life
D．recover quickly
3.What does the underlined word “permanent” in the 4th paragraph mean?
A. necessary B. life-long
C. difficult D. important
4.What can be the best title of the passage?
A．A Seriously Burned Girl Survives
B．Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares
C．Permanent Scars And Pain For a Girl
D．A seriously burned angel of Hope

Greg Evans started to study film at Ryerson University, but had a change of heart and switched to social work at George Brown College in second year．Yet the college recognized only one of Evans' general-interest credits（学分） from Ryerson , and also made him take English all over again although he had passed it at university．
“So I spent time and money taking a course I had already taken before”, complained Evans．"The system really needs to change．" Evans was part of a chorus of Ontario students on Monday cheering a new $ 73．7 million five-year plan to help students switch from college to university, and from university to college．
After years' of urging from students, the Ontario government set up a new Credit Transfer Innovation loud to help students move back and forth between the more hands-on courses of community college to the often broader academic focus of a university degree．" We hear horror stories about students who can't get recognition from one institution for a very similar course at another, and in one case I believe the same professor was teaching them both," noted Malloy after announcing the new fund．
Individual colleges and universities have decided on nearly 500 joint deals to honor each other's credits in certain courses．Each school is required to set targets for more credit-transfer agreements, and link these increases to provincial funding．
More than 4,000 college graduates transfer （转换） to university in Ontario every year twice as many as eight years ago, noted Justin Fox, president of the College Student Alliance．Yet Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits, in part to avoid copying each other's courses, noted Bonnie Patterson, president of the Council of Ontario Universities ,who welcomed the increased flexibility．
1.What happened when Greg Evans switched to social work at George Brown College?
A. He was considered to be unqualified for social work．
B. His previous credits were not all recognized．
C. He wasn't able to get enough credits．
D. His English didn't reach the required standard．
2.According to Paragraph 3, Malloy believes _____________
A. it is time that the system was changed
B. the same professor can't teach in different schools
C. students should focus on their chosen courses
D. the students' stories are horrible
3.Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits partly to _____________.
A. avoid accepting unqualified students
B. keep their similar courses
C. prevent courses becoming similar
D. attract famous professors
4.What attitude does Bonnie Patterson have towards the transferring system?
A. He is strongly against it
B．He is very doubtful about it
C. He thinks it is too flexible
D．He supports it for its flexibility
