A

In one of the old buildings near our school,one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor,His name was James.During the three years at school,I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.

He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife .Once there was a bus accident,in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and taken to the hospital for treatment.James was responsible for the rescue operation.It was a big hospital,but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was.There was no enough life-saving drugs and life-supporting equipment.The injured and their companions had to struggle there .James attempted to help .However,though he emptied his pockets,many of them died that day.

That was a turning point in his life.He made a decision to devote his life to helping others,particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions.He began to spend much of his income on these people.Since this required much time and energy,he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire,which,in turn,reduced his income considerably.

His wife was deeply worried.Most of the time,James was out and paid least attention to home affairs.Meanwhile,as he was spending a lot helping others,she had struggle even to meet the household expenses.Though she was not against his helping the poor,she urged him not to ignore his own home and life,but it had no effect on him.She decided to leave him ,never to return.Though he continued his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors.That was when he took his position by the window,spending his time looking outside.

A few weeks after my graduation,I returned to school,only to find the building gone.I heard that they were torn down.Everyone left except James.He refused to go and the next morning,he was found at his usual place by the window,dead.

1.What changed James view toward life?

A.The difficulties in his career.

B.The deaths in the bus accident.

C.The bad conditions in the hospital.

D.The responsibilities in the hospital.

2.James’wife left because

A.she was strongly against his deeds.

B.James paid little attention to his work

C.her work to support their daily-life was too tiring.

D.James failed to keep a balance between charity and home

3.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to

A.his decision to retire

B.the departure of his wife

C.the argument with his wife

D.his devotion to helping others

Think about vitamin D when you’re catching up on summer rays. It’s sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble (脂溶性的) vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. It can affect as many as 2,000 genes in the body.

Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorous(磷), and promoting normal immune system function. Getting enough vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improving resistance against certain diseases.

In addition to its primary benefits, research suggests that vitamin D may also play a role in:

reducing your risk of multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化), according to a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association

decreasing your chance of developing heart disease, according to 2008 findings published in Circulation

helping to reduce your possibility of developing the flu, according to 2010 research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

regulating mood and warding off depression

losing weight or preventing heart disease

How do you get it? Your body produces vitamin D naturally when it is directly exposed to sunlight. A little can go a long way. All you need is 10 minutes a day of midday, pre-sunscreen sun exposure,especially if you have fair skin. Besides getting vitamin D through sunlight, you can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood.

1.Why is Vitamin D sometimes called “Sunshine Vitamin”?

A. Because it is produced in your skin reacting to sunlight.

B. Because it is named a fat-soluble vitamin.

C. Because it is produced with enough sunshine.

D. Because it is like sunshine in summer.

2.How can a person ensure enough Vitamin D in his/ her body?

A. He/ She could ask doctors for help.

B. He/ She should walk a long way in the sunlight.

C. He/ She should be exposed to sunlight for a long time.

D. He/ She should get it through sunlight, foods and supplements.

3.Which of the following is NOT the function of Vitamin D?

A. Preventing heart disease.

B. Helping the body grow normally.

C. Producing calcium and phosphorous.

D. Decreasing anxiety and nervousness.

4.Which is the best title of the passage?

A. Vitamin D Family

B. Vitamin D, You Need It

C. Ways to get Vitamin D

D. A Good Medicine—Vitamin D

As is often the case, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is "What's your name?" Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

Have you ever thought about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means "bright"; Beatrice means "one who gives happiness"; Donald means "world ruler"; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.

The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪); someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

Other early surnames came from people's occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter — a person who made pots and pans.

The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnell’s and the McDonnell’s and the O’Donnell’s are descendants of the same Donnell.

1.Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?

A. People's characters.

B. Talents that people possessed.

C. People's occupations.

D. Places where people lived.

2.According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably ________.

A. made things with metals

B. made kitchen tools or contains

C. built houses and furniture

D. owned or drove a cart

3.Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named ________.

A. Leonard CarterB. George Longstreet

C. Donald GreenwoodD. Beatrice Smith

4.The underlined word "descendants” in the last paragraph means a person's ________.

A. friends and relatives

B. colleagues and partners

C. grandparents

D. later generations

阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入适当的词(不多于3个单词)或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答题纸标号为1―10的相应位置上。

One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals 1.(be) how they measure success. I see individuals getting 2.(frustrate) as they struggle hard for success.

The main reason is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else. We should look at 3. own skills to determine what is successful to us. We should look inwards to determine 4. it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind.

Evaluating a successful person needs 5.(look) at his pathway to success, his action and his 6.(determine). You must set your own course of action, 7. stay on your course. You alone must determine what success means to you. Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself.

Here is the 8.(true). Being a success is doing your best, not being the best. Success is not something you become, but it is something you continue being.

When we get to that point, we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less depression. And that 9.(sound) good to us!

Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in 10. great way.”
