"The railway should pay me back ￡12, so you owe me the money," she said to HarryJenks, the young man who was working at the office. "You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12."Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam," he said politely, "I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd."The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sun burnt," he said to her, "Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?" "Yes," she answered, shyly, "The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!""That's fine," said Harry.

Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member—these are all "game" ideas that you will have throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Some games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and teamwork.Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as adults. For example, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. It can be very helpful to exercise their hands and eyes, which is needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in the friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for a whole country, not just the athlete who has got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that brings people together. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He set up an organization which can provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a hopeful future.Next time, when you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in your life.（1）The underlined part "translatelife into exciting dreams" in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can ______.A describe life in an exciting wayB turn real-life experiences into a play C change people's views of sporting events D teach childr en something useful and important（2）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A The whole country.B The gold medal.C The event.D The game.（3）According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?A It means a lot for a whole country.B It proves how excellent the winners are.C It h elps the country out of natural disasters.D It brings the winners satisfaction and money.（4）Which of the following statements is NOT true?A The most famous games are the Olympic Games.B People around the world play socce r just for fun.C The game called bones can be helpful to the Arabian children.D Nicol ette Iribarne gives poor children a chance for a better life.（5）What is the passage mainly about?A The popular games.B Games and real life.C The advantages of games.D Child ren's games and the future.21.Shirley Jane Temple was the leading child actor of her time, receiving a special Oscar and acti ng the leading role in films like Bright Eyes and Heidi.Shirley Jane Temple was born on April 23, 1928, in Santa Monica, California.

Dating back to the Beisong Dynasty, White Tea has a long history and it is mainly grown in Fujian and Taiwan. White Tea is famous for its beautiful silver-needle-like shape, its sweet taste and its medicinal effects. The longer it is preserved, the better effect it has. White Tea is good for health if drunk frequently and can be used in preventing diseases like high blood pressure and helping relieve the pain of toothache and fever.Version 1In the passage, the writer describes how he forgot his family's thrifty tradition and eventually met with financial difficulty. This helped him realize the importance of thriftiness and start to practice thriftiness again.To me, being thrifty means valuing money, making the most of what I have and trying never to spend beyond my budget or on unnecessary things.Thrift is an old and dated concept to many young people. As life has become a lot easier, people tend to indulge in a luxurious lifestyle. That's why I regard this nearly forgotten practice more important now than ever before. Actually, to be thrifty can be really simple. Most of the time, it's simply a matter of being more thoughtful in our everyday life: turning off lights when leaving the room, not using the air-conditioners unless necessary, bringing our water bottle from home rather than spending money on soft drinks, using public transports to avoid needless driving and parking, ordering just enough food when eating out, and so forth. To do these might mean doing things others won't do and controlling our desires. But remember, a smart person is not one who always tries to impress others by showing off their wealth, but one who spares no effort to save for the future and for others .Version 2The writer recalls the stress and economic problems he had after moving to a big city, forgetting the thrifty habits of his youth and wasting all his money. At last, however, he learned his lesson and became thrifty once more.I think a thrifty person is someone who uses only what they need and avoids wastes. Being thrifty can save us money, but more importantly, it is necessary if we want to save our planet. In the face of growing environmental problems, I believe it is more necessary than ever to reduce the amount of rubbish and pollution each individual produces. If we fail to control the amount of waste we produce, our society and our planet are doomed and this concern must outweigh any short-term satisfaction we get from buying and consuming more.It is for this reason that I buy as much fresh food as possible, rather than packaged food, which requires much more energy to produce and adds to our pollution problems. I also try to cycle or walk everywhere I go, or at least use public transport rather than getting a taxi or depending on a private car. Actions like these keep me fit and healthy, help the environment and leave me with more money in my pocket! Why don't you try these too? You might really enjoy the results.。

Theseare the words of Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam final in the French Open on June 4, 2011."People were saying I'm getting old. So this is a great success for such an old woman," the29-year-old girl joked.Miss Li has a tattoo (纹身). She has dyed her hair many different colors. And, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she told her fans to "shut up" when they got too noisy in their support.Li Na was born in Wuhan, she started to play tennis at the age of 6. She once recalled: "As a child, I felt sad because every day I had to wake up early to practice.

"When you have one title, surely you will think about another," she says, not hiding her ambition."Chinese people are so lacking in confidence on the tennis court. If there is a person like mewho can prove we Chinese can do it, the other young players in China will feel the same," she said.46.

She visited Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and her family's native place (祖籍) Romania where 5,000 fans came to see her at the airport. Alexandra said, “When it all started, I was moved. It was very exciting and I loved the traveling, but I got very tired. And I missed home.”Alexandra is a good student. Her studies always come first. She only starts painting after she's done her homework. She works on two or three paintings at a time. The paintings sell for thousands and Alexandra's parents have given up their jobs to work for their daughter. Life for the Nechita family is very different from what it was like a few years ago.Alexandra's father Niki left Romania for political reasons in 1985. At first he tried his best to learn English and had different kinds of low-paid jobs. In 1987, he brought his wife and Alexandra, who was then 18 months old, to America. The family was very poor. Alexandra began to draw at the age of three.She was drawing for four or five hours a day. Soon people offered to buy her paintings and she had her first art show at the age of eight. Stories about this child appeared in the newspapers and television. They now live in a large house with a swimming pool.

From the passage, we can learn ________.A. Alexandra was not interested in travellingB. Alexandra's success changed her family's lifeC. Alexandra's parents were good at EnglishD. Alexandra's stories appeared often on the radio and TVDACCB(C)Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example，someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy's a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not.We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this tri ck.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks an other term.One of her opponents(对手)says，“During Governor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!” That's true.However，an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two m illion jobs.''Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they tryto mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say，“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often.It's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as w ell.56.How much did the lottery winner lose?A.one hundred dollars.B.Two hundred dollars.C.Three hundred dollars.D.Four hundred dollars.57.We may infer that the author believes people should ________.A.buy lottery tickets if possibleB.make use of half—truthsC.be careful about what they are toldD.not trust the Yucky Company58. How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.59.Which of the following is true according to the passage?ing half truths is against the law.B.Technically，half truths are in fact lies.C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.ernor Smith did a good job during her last term.60.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.A winner can be a big loser!B.Sometimes the truth can lie as well.C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.D.It's against the law to make false statements.ACCDB(D)CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world.

In one shop, the traveler was happy to see a big basket of very long, red fruit, which was surprisingly cheap. He felt thirsty, so he bought a whole kilo of the fruit and started eating it.

The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I‟m sorry, I can‟t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can‟t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and st aring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly w ith us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That‟s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it‟s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There‟s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it‟s down it won‟t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let‟s forget the computer. What about your planes? They‟re still flying, aren‟t they?”“I couldn‟t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he‟s flying to Washington, ” I suggested. “I wouldn‟t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn‟t take you if you didn‟t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hour s?”“I wouldn‟t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only…IT‟ knows. …It‟ can‟t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travele rs that the computer was down. Some people went white; some people started to cry and still other s kicked their luggage.46.

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there‟s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you ch oose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terri ble animal.I‟ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, ri ght from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I wal ked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don' t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He‟s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn‟t forgotten them. He‟s just decided that he‟s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the tab le, stare at me and say, “I don‟t like your dress; it‟s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. “Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.51.
