(1)A few days ago I landed at the Bombay Airport in India and took a cab to my destinationin South Bombay. I was enjoying the busy traffic with people rushing in every possible 1 (direct) when we got stuck at a very busy crossroads.As we waited for the signal to turn green, my eyes met up with 2 poor young boy, about 12 years old. He removed a piece of bread from his pocket and took a bite.As he was about 3 (take) his next bite, a dog wagged (摇) his tail lookingat him. 4 hesitation (犹豫), he sat down and put the bread on the road for the dog to eat. The dog sniffed the bread and walked away. The boy w aited 5 he was sure the dog was gone, and then he picked up the bread and ate it!My heart 6 (cry) and wanted to walk up to the boy, 7 before I could open the door the signal turned green and our car drove away. I kept thinking about the boy. Later, during my evening meal, I realized that I was thinking of approaching the boy but never did. I could have stopped the car and walked up to 8 , which again I never did.This poor little boy 9 had only one piece of bread shared 10 immediately with the dog, though he himself seemed to be very hungry.1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(2)What can keep your brain young and active? Marie Pasinski, 1 doctor from Massachusetts General Hospital, say s, “New experiences as well as a good snack.”The next time you feel 2 (bore) at the pool, play a board game or cards. Exercising your mind with a challenging game that requires brainpower, 3 chess or bridge(桥牌), is more than just fun. These types of games are so interesting 4 they can build up working memory. Traveling, especially in the places where English isn’t spoken, can make you 5 (smart) and more intelligent. There isa great deal of recent research proving its benefits.6 the other hand, eat more nuts! Not only are nuts the perfect snack for a summer road trip, they also keep your mind sharp. Some nuts are rich in magnesium (镁),7 can improve learning skills and memory of mice. The research8 (publish) in the Journal Neuron last month. Another study at New York State Institute also proved the point,9 (show) that mice who ate nuts made improvements in learning, memory, emotional regulation and movements, compared with 10 who didn’t ate nuts.1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(3)Teachers in Mexico went on a riot(暴乱) on Wednesday. They are angry 1 changesin their jobs made by the government. Hundreds of angry teachers broke windows, setfire to offices and drew graffiti(乱画) on the walls. Thousands more citizens 2 are angry with the government joined the teachers in the streets. The state governor 3 (send) hundreds of police officers to guard the local government b uildings. The police could not stop the violence, so Mayor Mario Moreno asked for government support to control the sit uation. He told a local TV news station, “We do not have the 4 (able) to face a mob (暴民) of 4,000 people 5 more.”The teachers are angry that the changes would take power away from 6 unions. Mexico’s government wants more control over the quality of teachers and who becomes7 teacher. Teaching unions currently assess the quality of education in schools. The government wants to do this instead, to make sure all schools have similar standards. They try to have teachers pass tests 8 (get) jobs or get promoted (晋升). The government also wants to end the policy of buying and selling teaching jobs. Some teachers in Mexico give their position to a 9 (relate) when they retire or quit. The biggest teaching unions are worried 10 many teachers will lose their jobs. They also fear that the government wants to control every school. 1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(4)When did people begin to eat eggs? It is said that people have been eating eggs 1 about six million years ago. By 7,000 BC, people in China and India were keeping chickens and eating their eggs, so they didn’t have to go 2 (hunt) for wild bird eggs anymore.All through the Middle Ages, chickens only laid eggs for part of the year, 3 (main) in the spring. In this season, there was plenty 4 daylight but it wasn’t too hot. That’s why the westerners have Easter eggs (复活节彩蛋) to celebrate the return of eggs in the spring.5 earliest way to eat eggs was raw. When people began to use fire, about a million years ago, they often6 (roast) eggs in the coals. With the7 (invent) of pottery (陶器), about 5,000 BC, boiling eggs gradually became more common. In ancient Rome, hard-boiled eggs were so common as an appetizer (开胃品) 8 was served at the beginning of the meal. People also began to use eggsin bread, cakes and so on.Without refrigeration, eggs would keep for only a few days 9 people had to eat them. To make 10 keep longer, people would often pickle (腌渍) eggs in salt water and vinega r.1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(5)A few days before Badenhorst’s departure, I was called to the main office. General Steyn was visiting the island and wanted to know if we had any 1 (complain). Badenhorst was there as I went through a list of demands. After I finished, Badenhorst 2 (speak) to me directly.He told me he would be leaving the island and added, “I just want to wish you people good luck.” I do not know 3 I looked shocked, but I was sure that I was amazedthen. He spoke these words like a human being and showed a side of himself we had never seen before. I thanked him 4 his good wishes and wished him luck in his future life.I thought about this moment for a long time afterwards. Badenhorst had perhaps been5 most cold-blooded and rudest commanding officer we had had on Robben Island. But that day in the office, I realized that there was another side to his nature,a side that we seldom saw 6 still existed.7 reminded us that all men, even the most seemingly cold-blooded person, have good nature in them and that, with their hearts 8 (touch), they can change. After all, Badenhorst was not evil. He had been given a bad name because 9 misunderstanding. So, don’t judge some so-called cold-blooded person before you figure out whether he is bad by nature 10 just bad by name.1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(6)There once was a master who went to India. He had never been to India before. And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India, people had plenty of fruit to sell, 1 much of it was expensive. The reason was2 they couldn’t grow much due3 the water situation. He saw one basket,a big basket of some very red, long “fruit”. It was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.So he went up and asked, “How much per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said, “Two rupees (卢比).” So he bought 4 whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But when he ate some, his mouth was burning, his head was burning and his face 5 (become) red. As he coughed and choked, he jumped up and down, 6 (shout) loudly.But he still continued to eat the fruit! 7 (shock) by the master’s act, some people said, “Those are chilies(辣椒)! You can’t eat so many, because people use them as a condiment(调味料). You were 8 (fool) enough to eat so much!” But the stupid master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money9 them, and I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”You think that master was stupid, right? So even if you’ve lost something, let 10 go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(7)Neil Armstrong, the first man to put his feet on the moon, passed away at the ageof 82. The U.S. astronaut died from complications(并发症) 1 (follow) a heart operation he had in August, 2012.

However, h e spent the rest of his lif e trying to pay little attention to his 6 (achieve). Helater said he never understood why people focused so much 7 what he did.

As a teenager, he 8 (get) his pilot’s license before his driving license. In 1958, he joined the organization 9 later became NASA and became a test pilot. Years after his moon landing, Armstrong was asked how he felt about knowing his footprints (足迹) would stay on the moon’s surface for thousands of years.

When people began to use fire, about a million years ago, they often6 (roast) eggs in the coals. With the7 (invent) of pottery (陶器), about 5,000 BC, boiling eggs gradually became more common. In ancient Rome, hard-boiled eggs were so common as an appetizer (开胃品) 8 was served at the beginning of the meal. People also began to use eggsin bread, cakes and so on.Without refrigeration, eggs would keep for only a few days 9 people had to eat them. To make 10 keep longer, people would often pickle (腌渍) eggs in salt water and vinega r.1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(5)A few days before Badenhorst’s departure, I was called to the main office. General Steyn was visiting the island and wanted to know if we had any 1 (complain). Badenhorst was there as I went through a list of demands. After I finished, Badenhorst 2 (speak) to me directly.He told me he would be leaving the island and added, “I just want to wish you people good luck.” I do not know 3 I looked shocked, but I was sure that I was amazedthen. He spoke these words like a human being and showed a side of himself we had never seen before. I thanked him 4 his good wishes and wished him luck in his future life.I thought about this moment for a long time afterwards. Badenhorst had perhaps been5 most cold-blooded and rudest commanding officer we had had on Robben Island. But that day in the office, I realized that there was another side to his nature,a side that we seldom saw 6 still existed.7 reminded us that all men, even the most seemingly cold-blooded person, have good nature in them and that, with their hearts 8 (touch), they can change. After all, Badenhorst was not evil. He had been given a bad name because 9 misunderstanding. So, don’t judge some so-called cold-blooded person before you figure out whether he is bad by nature 10 just bad by name.1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(6)There once was a master who went to India. He had never been to India before. And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India, people had plenty of fruit to sell, 1 much of it was expensive. The reason was2 they couldn’t grow much due3 the water situation. He saw one basket,a big basket of some very red, long “fruit”. It was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.So he went up and asked, “How much per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said, “Two rupees (卢比).” So he bought 4 whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But when he ate some, his mouth was burning, his head was burning and his face 5 (become) red. As he coughed and choked, he jumped up and down, 6 (shout) loudly.But he still continued to eat the fruit! 7 (shock) by the master’s act, some people said, “Those are chilies(辣椒)! You can’t eat so many, because people use them as a condiment(调味料). You were 8 (fool) enough to eat so much!” But the stupid master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money9 them, and I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”You think that master was stupid, right? So even if you’ve lost something, let 10 go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.1. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡2. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡3. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡4. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡5. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡6. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡7. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡8. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡9. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ 10. ｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡(7)Neil Armstrong, the first man to put his feet on the moon, passed away at the ageof 82.
