Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with all kinds of situations. Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel(残忍的).In the early stage(阶段)of our life , our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is ri ght and wrong，good and bad. But we don't always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others' feelings. Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away. Failure is the way to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect(自尊). Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Life teaches us not to regret(后悔)over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the only choice(选择)is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow. 55. We usually have to accept if we want to be successful. A. love B. failure C. sadness D. hope 56. In which section(栏目)can readers probably read the passage? A. Business B. Travel C. Lifestyles D. Education 57. What's the meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage? A. When choosing between―today‖and―tomorrow‖，you'd better enjoy tomorrow. B. If you work hard today，you'll have a better life in the future. C. What you can only choose is to work hard today rather than tomorrow. D. The only choice you make is that you should enjoy a better tomorrow. 58. What's the purpose of the passage？ A. To encourage people to love each other. B. To te ll people how to deal with happiness and sadness. C. To give readers some information about life. D. To remind people to keep having a beautiful dream.

Unit1Archimedes and the golden crown One day in ancient Greece,King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown.At first,he was very happy with it. “It’s a nice crown,isn’t it?”he asked his https://www.doczj.com/doc/6a12420604.html,ter,however,he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown.“Is it made completely of gold?”he wondered.He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth. “This problem seems difficult to solve.What should I do?”thought Archimedes. Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water.When he got into the bath,some water ran over. “That’s it!”shouted Archimedes.“I know how to solve the king’s problem!” Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king.First,he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. Next,he put two pots into big bowls and filled both pots with water.He put the gold into one pot,and some water ran into the bowl.Then he put the crown into the other pot.This time,even more water ran into the bowl. “Look at this,”said Archimedes to King Hiero.“A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal.This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight,so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold. “The crown maker tricked me,didn’t he?What a bad man he is!”shouted King Hiero.He then sent the crown maker to prison. 第1页共9页
