Many years ago, on a winter morning, Lily, our only daughter, sat quietly, all her heart put into her work. Every once in a while she would ask how to spell the name of someone in our family, and then painstakingly(费力地) formed the letters one by one. Next, she added flowers and green grass at the bottom of each page with a sun in the upper right corner, surrounded by the blue sky. Holding them at eye level, she was satisfied.
“What are you making, honey?” I asked.
“It’s a surprise,” she said, covering up her work with her hands.
It wasn’t until later that evening that I noticed the “mailboxes” fastened to the door of each of our bedrooms. There was one for Edward, one for Tom. She hadn’t forgotten Peter and baby Paul.
For the next few weeks, we received mail regularly. There were little notes showing her love for each of us and short letters full of tiny things that only a seven-year-old child would notice. I was in charge of retrieving baby Paul’s letters, page after page of colored scenes, including flowers with happy faces.
“He can’t read yet,” she said, “but he can look at the pictures.”
This little girl grows up now, but something about her has never changed. One morning only a week or so ago, I found a love note next to my pillow.
“Thanks for always being there for me, Mum,” it read, “I’m glad that we are best friends,”

Machu Picchu is an unusual site in Peru and one of the most mysterious wonders of the world. Built at almost 10,000 feet on the top of an Andean mountain, the Incas built hundreds of structures made of stone. A large number of Machu Picchu’s surrounding structures date back to the early 13th century, but it was considered a chief sacred site far before then. The Inca people changed the large site into a very small but wonderful city, completely self-sufficient and hidden from below. Agricultural terraces (梯田) surrounded the entire city, fed by natural spring water, supporting the entire population.
Inca Trail
The trail is one of the most famous in the world and regarded as one of the best. It covers only 26 miles, combining cloud forest, green mountain scenery, forest, and plenty of tunnels, paving stones, and ruins. The four-day hike begins slowly but quickly changes into a difficult journey suitable for those in excellent shape. The trail winds through the Andes, leading alongside and through ruins. Though independent hiking was once permitted, now it must be done with a guide.
Funerary Rock
It is believed that the Funerary Rock at Machu Picchu was used as a place to prepare Inca nobles for preservation, or mummifying (做成木乃伊), a common habit among the tribe. Nobles would be laid out to be mummified by the hot sun and freezing cold nights after their organs were removed. The rock is also famous as a spot from which a view of the city is afforded.
Temple of the Sun
Within the city’s castle, deep within Machu Picchu, is the Temple of the Sun, accessed only by the Emperor and
Inca priests. It means the Inca’s advanced knowledge of religion, weather, and nature, showing the great extent
Incas went to adapt to and learn about nature. Still unbroken, the temple was built to honor the god Inti, who is exactly the sun. The temple was effectively protected. It was also a very important scientific center, built in half-moon shape with openings facing north and east. The windows’ shadows in the center of the temple helped see the start of winter solstice (至日), showing farming season.
1.What do we know about the Inca Trail?
A. The scene is very beautiful along the trail.
B. One person alone is permitted to hike on the trail.
C. Only healthy people can do the four-day hike trail.
D. The trail covers a distance of 80 miles in all.

A. Incas had a good knowledge of math

Honesty varies. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else.”
Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:
In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.
At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.
It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit into your PBA and will build strength.
1.The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means ''________''.
A. to be honest B. to be clear
C. to be creative D. to be unreal
2.Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?
A. Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.
B. Be your true self rather than follow others.
C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.
D. Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.
3.What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?
A. Honesty can be of great help.
B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody but yourself.
D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.
4.In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express ________.
A. one must be brave to be honest
B. it’s difficult to be honest when others are not
C. one should be honest when making a deposit
D. honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future
