    When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

    He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

    I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.

    I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

    Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

    1.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?

    A. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.

    B. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.

    C. He was angry and told her to overcome her shortcomings.

    D. He told her to write down all and pay attention only to the things that were true.

    2.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?

    A. Week by week she discovered and pointed out more shortcomings of mine.

    B. She kept on adding new ones to the list so it was growing longer and longer.

    C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.

    D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

    3.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

    A. My Father

    B. My Childhood

    C. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

    D. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend

    As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course, Alison Thompson，a full-time mum，is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.” says Alison.

    It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.

    Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.

    Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too.

    “The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says.

    Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.

    1.What does Paragraph 1 indicate?

    A. Cameron helps Emma with her math tasks.

    B. Teachers at school ignored Emma’s problems.

    C. Both Cameron and Emma need parental support.

    D. The couple often have fights because of Cameron.

    2.What does the underlined phrase “having sailed through his GCSE” probably mean?

    A. Having passed his GCSE easily. B. Having taken his GCSE seriously.

    C. Having worked hard at his GCSE. D. Having suffered a lot from his GCSE

    3.There are at least people in Mrs. Thompson’s family.

    A. three B. four

    C. five D. six

    4.What can be known from the passage?

    A. Emma has learned to take good care of herself.

    B. Cameron showed his gift before primary school.

    C. The children of the family are bright and gifted.

    D. Gifted kids are not so different as people expect.

    Ensuring that disabled people have an easy life is very important, not just because they are human, like all of us, but because their dignity and social well-being should not be ignored just because of a disability. Disabilities can occur through illness, aging, accidents and other different causes that may happen to anyone or affect us all at some stage in life. 1.

    We are all human beings and so have the same basic needs. But we should remember that there is a wide range of what we call a disability, and while the basic needs are all the same for everyone, the different lifestyle needs are entirely individual. 2. It is best to find out people’s needs from spending time with them.

    3. Even the most attractive homes can feel like a cage, so it makes a huge difference to be able to go out to a park or a shopping center, or to plan a day trip such as a picnic or a trip to the beach. Even if a trip can only be organized one day a month, it is more than nothing and does really make a difference.

    If they are interested or able, pets can be great companions. 4. Some may be able to take care of a cat or dog; some prefer goldfish or birds in a cage. Very often, people who are cared for don’t feel that they have the chance to care for someone or something else, so caring for pets can improve their confidence and mental health, which can take their mind off their own troubles.

    Do not let pets be their only companions. Book a regular appointment with a social worker to visit them at least once a month. This is to check on their mental and physical health as well as ways of improving their living conditions. 5.

    A. Plan regular trips.

    B. Stay with them in a friend way.

    C. It is wise to check the abilities of the individuals.

    D. You won’t know if they can help if you don’t ask them.

    E. It is important because they may need to talk to someone.

    F. Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all method to improve quality of life.

    G. The great thing is that it is not hard to make disabled peopled lives easier.

    London has become a cycle-friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. 1.

    2.First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes, which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go, for the length of time you use the bike.

    Transport for London, which runs the scheme, are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. 3.London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London has been “filled with thousands of gleaming (发光的) machines that will transform the look and feel of our street and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.

    4. On the first day some people found they couldn’t dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they would not charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.

    5. “My crusade for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a great pedal-powered push forwards.”

    A. So how does it work?

    B. How do you like it?

    C. However, there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday.

    D. Despite the comments, the green-thinking London Mayor still says with certainty.

    E. However, the London Mayor is confident of the scheme.

    F. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.

    G. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion(拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre.

    3．My dad loved pennies，especially those with the elegant stalk（茎） of wheat curving around each side of the ONE CENT on the back．Those were the pennies he grew up with during the Depression．
    As a kid，I would go for walks with Dad，spying coins along the way-a penny here，a dime（一角硬币） there．Whenever I picked up a penny，he'd ask，"Is it a wheat？"It always thrilled him when we found one of those special coins produced between 1909and 1958，the year of my birth．
    One gray Sunday morning in winter，not long after my father's death in 2002，I was walking down Fifth Avenue，feeling bereft．I found myself in front of the church where Dad once worked．I was warmly shown in and led to a seat．Hearing Dad's favorite"A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"，I burst into tears．We'd sung that at his funeral．
    After the service，I shook the pastor's（牧师） hand and stepped onto the sidewalk-and there was a penny．I bent to pick it up，turned it over，and sure enough，it was a wheat．A 1944，a year my father was serving on a ship in the South Pacific．
    That started it．Suddenly wheat pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of New York everywhere．I got most of the important years：his birth year，my mom's birth year，the year he graduated from college，the year he met my mom，the year they got married，the year my sister was born．But alas，no 1958wheat penny-my year，the last year they were made．
    The next Sunday，after the service，I was walking up Fifth Avenue and spotted a penny in the middle of a crossing．Oh，no，it was a busy street；cabs were speeding by-should I risk it？I just had to get it．
    A wheat!But the penny was worn，and I couldn't read the date．On arriving home，I took out my glasses and took it to the light．There was my birthday!
    I found 21wheat pennies on the streets of Manhattan in the year after my father died，and I don't think that's a coincidence．
