Dear Bob,
I am very exciting to receive an e-mail from you and I am glad to know you have a wonderful time during the past summer holiday. I took a trip to the countryside with some of my friend in last summer. Country life, in your opinion, gave me relaxation, which I can't enjoy in big cities. There was river nearby, in that we went swimming every now and then. You can never imagine how fun it was to swim together with friends in the cool, clean river in so hot days. In fact, I had never had a better holiday before and I took plenty of photos there. I keep the photos where I can see them every day, as they are worth keep forever.
Yours,
Tom

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿¸ù¾Ý¶ÌÎÄÄÚÈݵÄÀí½â£¬Ñ¡ÔñÕýÈ·´ð°¸¡£ At thirteen, I was diagnosed(Õï¶Ï) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, "Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it." She glanced down at me through her glasses, "You are no different from your classmates, young man."
I tried, but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(µã), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn't I the "blind" in my class, being made to learn like the "sighted" students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day¡ªwith an "A" on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: "See what you can do when you keep trying?"
£¨1£©The author didn't finish the reading in class because ________.
A.he wanted to take the task home
B.he was new to the class
C.he had an attention disorder
D.he was tired of literature
£¨2£©What was Mrs. Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?
A.Angry.
B.Impatient.
C.Sympathetic.
D.Encouraging.
£¨3£©The underlined phrase spilled out in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A.put in

A.A teacher can open up a new world to students.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿There are plenty of things you can feel positive knowing about Garfield¡ªthe cat who loves lasagna, hates Mondays and adores a teddy bear named Pooky. But last week, without warning, there rose a strange and sudden debate around a question about the famous cat that even creator Jim Davis needed to weigh in on: Is Garfield a boy£¬ a girl, or no gender£¨ÐÔ±ð£©at all?

The argument appears to have begun when writer Virgil Texas came across a 2014 Mental Floss interview with Davis where he described his tabby creation Garfield as ¡°not really male or female or any particular race or nationality, young or old.¡±

In response to the quote£¨ÒýÓã©£¬Virgil wrote on Twitter: ¡°FACT£ºGarfield has no gender. This. Is. Definite.¡± So sure was he of Garfield¡®s true gender status that Virgil even took it upon himself to update the Garfield character Wikipedia page with the information¡£

But it was quickly clear that not everyone agreed with Virgil¡®s edits, and thus began a war over the Wikipedia entry edits. Some mentioned that Garfield is male. Others wrote that it shouldn¡¯t matter at all whether Garfield is male or female. Washington Post reported that the battle took place over 60 hours and eventually ended when Wikipedia shut things down by locking the page.

It was a statement that soon appeared to have been made in hurry as Jim Davis indeed soon joined the debate, shutting everything down in one line to Washington Post: ¡°Garfield is male.¡± The 71-year-old cartoonist also pointed out that Garfield has a girlfriend, Arlene, and claimed that his 2014 quotes had been ¡°taken out of context¡±. ¡°I¡¯ve always said that I wanted to work with animals because they¡¯re not regarded as being any particular gender, race, age or ethnicity,¡± he said. ¡°In that sense, the humor could be enjoyed by a broader group.¡±

¡¾1¡¿What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. An argument about the gender of Garfield.

B. The interview between Jim Davis and Virgil Texas.

C. An update of Wikipedia entry edits about Garfield.

D. The popularity of the famous cartoon character Garfield.

¡¾2¡¿What does the underlined phrase ¡°weigh in on¡± probably mean?

A. Agree with. B. Join in.

C. Put forward. D. Care about.

¡¾3¡¿The debate online upon the gender of Garfield was ended up by ______.

A. writer Virgil Texas B. Wikipedia

C. Washington Post D. creator Jim Davis

¡¾4¡¿What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Jim Davis¡¯ 2014 quotes had been cut out.

B. Garfield becomes more famous than before.

C. Washington Post shut everything down in one line about Garfield.

D. The creation of Garfield is aimed at entertainment rather than anything else.

Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people's mind to another culture or race.
People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.
"Most local stories are based on a larger theme," American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, "Cinderella, or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world."
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don't like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. "For every advance in business," she says, "there is a greater need for communication". Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.
Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. "The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere," she says.
"I learned how people used stories to spread their culture," she says, "What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody's story."
£¨1£©What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?
A.They share the same way of storytelling.
B.They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.
C.They learn their stories from the American natives.
D.They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.
£¨2£©The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _____.
A.start a new life
B.settle down in another place
C.direct films
D.become good actors
£¨3£©Pugh has practiced storytelling with _____ groups of people.
A.2
B.3
C.4
D.5

Dear Tom,

I¡¯m glad to accept your last letter. Thanks for your concern about the heavy haze affecting normal teaching activities in our school. We have actual taken several practical measures to handle.

To begin with, attach great importance to the health of the young, our government has fixed a set of equipments to provide fresh air in our school, that can basically solve the problem. In addition to, parents donate lots of air purifiers. However, inside the buildings of our school, we did have fresh and refined air. Besides these, our school avoids outdoor activities when haze attacks.

I do believe a disturbing issue will be solved pretty soon in China.

Yours,

Li Hua

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.

Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, U.S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.

The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2- or 4-year college or university.

The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U.S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.

Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the Internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.

Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.

The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.

Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.

¡¾1¡¿What do we know about the survey?

A. The participants were all recent university graduates.

B. It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.

C. It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.

D. It aimed to find out what the young people know about America.

¡¾2¡¿What¡¯s one reason survey organizers give for young people¡¯s lack of knowledge?

A. The poor quality of the US university system.

B. Young people¡¯s unwillingness to travel abroad.

C. The sources from which they get their information.

D. Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world.

¡¾3¡¿What topic did the young Americans understand best according to the survey?

A. Government organizations. B. Geographic information.

C. Foreign relations. D. Environmental matters.

¡¾4¡¿In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?

A. Economics. B. Education.

C. National Politics. D. Entertainment.

Recently I failed an exam. However, after I came out of my teacher's office, I told myself, ¡°Smile! It's not so serious.¡±
I smiled a big smile and it(work) a little, really.
Everyone gets (frustrate) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I camea sentence in the Bible, ¡°Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.¡± It suddenly struck me, ¡° (worry) about a problem doesn't help. Why not just (give) a big smile and face up to the trouble?¡±
Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I (convince) that there's something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me the courage to move on.
Remember, whenever you're faced with a setback, whenever you've been treated(fair), all matters is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life,it will shine on you.
