【题目】Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness—and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.

Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city’s most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.

We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S.

We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the -road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.

Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago’s most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!

Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the “gateway to the West,” wait for us.

1Why did the author and her companions like the soft winds?

A. It brought warmth to them.

B. It left the sky blue and beautiful.

C. It improved the quality of the air.

D. It made them feel comfortable.

2What did the author and her companions mainly do in Chicago?

A. They enjoyed famous local foods.

C. They studied the history of the city.

D. They explored for foreign customs.

3The author and her companions stayed online .

A. sharing their travel plan with strangers

B. asking for information on foreign foods

C. communicating with strangers abroad

D. learning about different cultures in the world

4The underlined part “head over heels” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by .

【题目】As a videogame producer, John Day has created popular games such as “Meet the Robinsons”, “Car 2” and “Toy Story 3”.

When he was young, Day spent lots of time playing videogames, but getting game ideas from his imagination to the screen required plenty of technical know-how, too. Luckily for Day, his father worked in the computer industry and shared his knowledge. However, Day says, “Each time he caught me playing games as a kid, his trademark phrase was, ‘You’re never going to amount to anything, wasting all that time on these videogames.’”

“I built my first PC when I was 11,” Day says, “and I never really stopped.”

While studying business management in college, Day also worked as a game tester. Both his education and job experience help him now as he comes up with new ideas, meets deadlines and solves problems.

A videogame producer is in charge of a game’s development from beginning to end. Day says, “All producers have to be designers, at least a little bit.” Another part of Day’s job is getting things done on time and within budget. “We have to create a product before a certain date, and it takes work to get there.” Sometimes that can be a challenge. Problems come up often when he’s working on a game, and in his fast-paced industry, missing a deadline is not allowed.

In his job, Day answers to many people who are expecting high-quality games. That’s a lot of responsibility, but Day believes these demands help him do his job better. Part of the excitement for him is not just playing a game, but also being able to share it with others.

“With a finished product, it’s really great to finally be able to sit down with my friends and family, and say, ‘Look, this is what I’ve been doing all this time. Let’s play it together.’”

1As a kid, John Day .

A. lacked imagination

B. didn’t do well in his lessons

C. was crazy about videogames

D. got his first PC as a birthday present

2What can we know about Day’s father according to the passage?

A. He was very strict with Day.

B. He had a big influence on Day.

C. He was in support of Day’s hobby.

D. He expected Day to be a businessman.

3What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

A. How to produce a videogame.

B. What a videogame producer does.

C. The importance of job experience.

D. The challenge of balancing the budget.

4What does Day think of his job?

A. Boring. B. Easy.

C. Well-paid. D. Enjoyable.

But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for mere-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.

For this courier job, you’re consciously aware than that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.

【题目】Most people learn over time, but often learning comes too late to be fully useful. There are certainly many things that could have saved me from many of the mistakes and hurts I suffered over the years.1. I hope they may help a few of you avoid the mistakes that I made back then.

1. Caring too much just puts yourself in trouble2. There are only a few things that truly count for a happy life. I wish I had known to concentrate on those and ignore the rest.

2.Following the latest fashion blindly in work or in life is spiritual and intellectual suicide.3; or you can be a unique individual. The choice is yours.

3.4. The worst way to spend your time is even spreading more. People who spread unreal news are the virus-carriers of our day. Cockroaches(蟑螂) are cleaner, kinder creatures in comparison.

4.Hoping for the best is not always the right attitude. Maybe something will take twice as long as you plan for and produce results about half as good as you hope.5. Just allow for it and move on.

The most efficient way of learning is to bear the above in your mind and take action now. Waiting until you can be sure of doing something exactly right means waiting forever.
