    One of the many great lines in the movie Apollo 13 came from Ed Harris, who played NASA Director of Operations, Gene Kranz. The famous line was, “Gentleman, failure is not an option.” He said the words because he had a clear purpose that the three astronauts trapped in space must be sent home safely. The driving force behind their seeking of a solution was motivated by a true purpose.

    Here is the simple principle. If you have a big enough ‘why’ in life, you will always figure out the ‘how.’ A person without a purpose in life is like a boat without a rudder, floating aimlessly without a direction and going nowhere. In all walks of life, when referring to someone’s success, we often hear the words “focus and determination”. But Merriam Webster defines the word “purpose” as the reason why something is done, a feeling of being determined to achieve an outcome. There are many talented and intelligent people in the world that are unsuccessful because they lack direction. I believe that our life depends on our purpose. Whether you’re single or in a team, having a purpose allows you to start, evaluate, and improve your talents or abilities helps you find your path in life and achieve your success finally.

    A friend of mine once told me that the most motivating speech he had ever heard was just three short words. It came from his wife when she said, “Honey I’m pregnant.” He said those few words instantly motivated him because he now had a big “why” in his life, a purpose to work hard to support his family. In fact, when your “why” gets bigger, you get better because you stop holding back and you’ll go all out. It’s why you often hear about some great people perform superhuman actions when failure is not an option!

    1.What does the underlined word “rudder” in paragraph 2 refer to?

    A. Something that gets the boat started

    B. Something that makes the boat float

    C. The reason for which the boat is built

    D. Something that directs the boat to a certain place.

    2.What is the most important thing for success according to Merriam Webster?

    A. Talent B. Purpose

    C. Determination D. Intelligence

    3.The author gives his friend’s example to show________.

    A. why words can motivate people easily

    B. that family love is very important in our daily life

    C. that a purpose can make people try their best

    D. how people can get success more easily

    4.What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?

    A. To be successful person B. To have a big “Why” in life

    C. To make a right choice D. To get rid of failure

    I was driving home from the gym with my children. It was approaching bed time.

    “ My legs hurt, I can’t walk to the car.” said my son, William. Then be sat on the ground regardless of whatever we said.

    “Maybe you just need a banana? They’re good for tired bones.” his sister, Meredith, persuaded him in a wise way.

    This was the first time I had heard of the banana’s miracle(神奇的) cure for achy bones. It distracted(使分心) William and we were able to make it to the car. His wish for bone relief brought him energy and he persisted(坚持) the entire ride home. Upon arrival, he struggled out of the car and slowly went up 3 steps into the house. While he took his ”medicine”, we arrived on a suitable diagnosis (诊断) for his “illness” ---a serious case of Banana Bone. He was probably just over—tired. He had a long day and played hard in the Adventure Room at the gym. Thankfully we kept some bananas in the fridge, and hugs and kisses were given as a booster (辅助药剂) , which gave him the courage to walk upstairs to sleep.

    Banana Bone sounds like something I’ve had before. The aching hasn’t been in my bones so much as in my head and my heart. I think it’s a condition related to stress, lack of rest and stretching of one’s abilities. Perhaps you’re experienced it too. It is about long days facing challenges or pressing against the edges of your own ability without any hope.

    That’s when you realize Banana Bone doesn’t have to be a physical illness. It can be mental. It can drive emotion. It means you can choose it or you can choose against it. It’s not real. It’ s your reaction to what’s real. I know, it’ s still not easy. But it’ s part of “growing up”. We must have the courage to overcome it and I believe we can make it﹗

    My advice to you? Eat a banana and go to bed. You’ll feel a lot better and be your fresh self in the morning.

    1.People need the same kind of “banana” as William did when they_____.

    A. feel puzzled over choices

    B. are under a stressful condition

    C. find it hard to make changes

    D. hold on to the wrong things

    2.What attitude does the author think we should have towards “Banana Bone” ?

    A. Respectful.

    B. Supportive.

    C. Fearless.

    D. Doubtful.

    3.When you are suffering “Banana Bone”, you had better______________.

    A. distract and refresh yourself

    B. stop and wait for a better chance

    C. break down your old habits and give up

    D. ask doctors for clear guidance

    4.What can be the best title for the text?

    A. Bone Made of Banana

    B. My Daughter’s Trick

    C. Miracle Banana

    D. Banana Bone

    There’s something about Minot that I’m always going to carry with me. When it got hit last year by the worst flooding in its history, there was this feeling of helplessness.

Luckily, the community itself is developing, so it’s just a matter of those doing whatever they can to help can to help the community to get it back to normal. However, it’s going to be a number of years for a third of the homes were lost. That will take a long time to heal, and if anyone in the world can get through it, it’s the people in Minot.

    Why do we read poetry? First obvious one: because we enjoy it. The only other reason is for academic purposes, and that's not why this is here.

    Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost, and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is. So in that way poetry calms our anxiety.

    There are many different kinds of poems. They are not all calming. Some poems make me anxious, angry, scared, and sad, which is why I value them. As a reader, I want a full meal, not just dessert. I want the sweet and the bitter. Often, I read poetry when I'm already relaxed. In fact, I read more when I'm not stressed out.

    Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry, as far as I can tell. Metrical(格律的) poems are about setting up rules and then bending them. Usually, this is done by setting up a rhythm and then violating it or almost violating it. And then returning to it again. This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries.

    Poetry plays with language and often slams words together in surprising ways, which is thrilling the way food can be when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do.

    Many poems are dense. Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines. This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over always finding new things in it.

    And, of course, there's the subject matter. It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay. Not all poems interest me in this way, but then not all stories and essays do, either.

    1.What kind of poems does the author probably enjoy reading?

    A. Academic poems. B. Valuable poems.

    C. Poems that calm readers down. D. Poems that arouse feelings.

    2.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

    A. Setting up a rhythm. B. Poetry. C. Violating rules. D. Rhythm.

    3.Why does poetry appeal to the author'?

    A. It plays with words. B. It sounds surprising.

    C. It is rich in meaning. D. It is filled with new ideas.

    4.What can we infer from the text?

    A. The author doesn't like all the essays. B. Reading poems requires patience.

    C. The subject counts a lot to the author. D. Writing poems is similar to cooking.

    A new study suggests that washing dishes by hand is healthier than using a dishwasher.

    Nobody likes doing the dishes, but it turns out that doing this task might pay off in an unexpected way. According to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics, washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies (过敏).

    Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children aged 7 and 8. They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less likely to have allergies.

    Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand. So why would kids who eat with slightly dirtier plates be better when it comes to preventing allergies? One explanation is based on a theory known as the “hygiene hypothesis,” which says the reason why kids develop allergies is that their environment is actually too clean. Your immune system keeps you healthy by fighting germs like viruses and bacteria. But when you have allergies, it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen(花粉) or certain foods.

    Being exposed to germs, especially early in life is good training for the immune system, says the lead author of the study, Dr. Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden. “You stimulate the immune system in various ways and it becomes tolerant.”

    This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.

    1.What is the benefit of washing dishes by hand?

    A. Hand-washed dishes are cleaner than those washed by machine.

    B. Washing dishes by hand is easier than washing by machine

    C. Washing dishes by hand costs less time than washing by machine

    D. Washing dishes by hand might reduce the chance of developing allergies

    2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?

    A. bacteria B. germs

    C. the immune system D. allergy

    3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

    A. Using a dishwasher can prevent us from having allergies.

    B. Exposure to germs early in life may improve kids’ immune system.

    C. Our immune system can only fight bacteria and viruses.

    D. Children should use dirty plates when they have meals.

    4.What is the main idea of the passage?

    A. The clean environment accounts for kids’ developing allergies.

    B. Whether parents should wash dishes by hand or use a dishwasher.

    C. Washing dishes by hand may prevent kids from getting allergies.

    D. What “hygiene hypothesis” is and how our immune system works.
