They practice putting on ice suits, working with ropes, and using hand signals to communicate. And once the lake freezes, then practice ice rescue.On a training day, a firefighter puts on his ice suit. He then pushes air out of the ice suit. If not, the trapped air bubble could make him float. He walks out onto frozen lake to play the role of the “victim (受害者)”. He shakes, not from cold, but worries about not knowing when he’ll fall through! His first several steps feel solid. The ice seems thick. But 28 steps in: Crack! Water begins to come in through the ice. He slows down. At 31 steps-Plunk! He falls through the ice. He keeps him mouth shut so he doesn’t swallow any water. It’s time for him to pretend to be a victim, calling for help and struggling in the lake.Two more firefighters, attached to the onshore team with ropes, walk onto the lake. They stay on different parts of the ice in case it breaks, both carrying protective equipment like a belt or a board. Meanwhile, onshore team members, wearing life vests, talk to the “victim” to keep him calm. Near the ice hole, a rescuer drops to her belly and moves slowly. The second rescuer rolls. Both methods spread out the weight so they don’t also fall through the ice.The firefighter with the board explains that they’re there to help. She hands the board to the victim and tells him to catch it. The second firefighter enters the water and ties the belt securely to the victim. He gives a signal and the onshore members pulls the rope. As the rope tightens, the rescuer lifts the victim’s legs so he’s on his belly. Together, they sail across the ice.Once they’re on land, firefighters exchange roles. When every firefighter has had a turn at rescuing and playing “victim”, they all put on warm, dry clothes and head back to the station for hot chocolate.4．Why does the “victim” push air out of his ice suit before entering water?A．To walk in the water.B．To sink beneath the ice.C．To float on the surface.D．To approach firefighters.5．What shouldn’t the rescue members do during the practice?A．Stay apart’on the ice surface.B．Walk as fast as possible on ice.C．Be careful in their each step.D．Carry protective equipment.6．What can we learn from the text?A．Ice rescue only requires excellent individual skills.B．The rescue group perform such rescue practice daily.C．The firefighters take turns to play the part of “victim”.D．It is unnecessary to talk to the “victim” during the rescue.7．What is the best title for the passage?A．Rescue on the iceB．Practice on ice landC．Ways of saving peopleD．Bravery of firefightersSome children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance (支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” It’s the parents’ role to provide thatprotection.When a “boss child” doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.”8．Bossy children like Stephen Jackson ______.A．make good decisions B．show self-centerednessC．lack care from others D．have little sense of fear9．The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in paragraph 2 means ______.A．inborn nature B．developed character C．accepted theory D．particularenvironment10．The study on bossy behavior implies that parents ______.A．should give more power to their children B．should be strict with their childrenC．should not be so anxious about their children D．should not set limits for their children 11．Bossy children may probably become ______.A．relaxed B．skillful C．hesitant D．lonelySports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you couldtake up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.12．Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A．Cycling around a lake.B．Motor racing in the desert.C．Playing basketball in a gym.D．Swimming in a sports center.13．What do we know about golf from the passage?A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B．It causes water shortages around the world.C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.14．The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _________.A．it is an outdoor sportB．it improves our healthC．it uses fewer resourcesD．it is recommended by experts15．The author writes the passage to _________.A．show us the function of major sportsB．encourage us to go in for green sportsC．discuss the major influence of popular sportsD．introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsThe Most Important Day of Your LifeWhat’s the most important day of your life? The answer to that question is simple — Today.16 You can’t do anything about things that have already happened, and trying to live in the future will take your focus away from the present. So the helpful strategy for anyone is to make the most of the moment that is right in front of us.Doing our best today may make things easier for us later on, or at least help us to deal with whatever situation we are in. 17 We will still be dealing with the same challenges tomorrow.Each morning I ask myself what I can do to make today memorable. 18 In Hebrew school we were asked what we had done to help other people the previous week. Did we help an older person cross the street? Did we encourage someone who had a promising idea? 19 All of these things represent a worthy deed because they involve doing something to help someone else.Even if today is not that meaningful for you, something you do for someone else may be very meaningful for them. You never know how much a good deed for someone else will impact that person. The greatest meaning that today brings may not be for you, it may be for someone else.20 You can deal with tomorrow next week, or next year when it gets here. A．The answer involves doing something kind for someone else.B．Did we hold the door for someone whose hands were full?C．Is today still the most important day?D．The past cannot be changed, and the future has not happened yet.E．Ignoring today and hoping it will go away certainly won’t work.F．If you wash it away, someone else may not get the benefits.G．So make the most of today.二、完形填空I’ve had cerebral palsy (CP) (大脑性瘫痪) since I was born.
