Julie finished her 1362.4-mile journey in March 2013, 45 more than $200,000 in the process for PANCAN.
While running, she stuck to a strict training schedule. “My body is getting used to this. I’m changing my diet, becoming more healthy and learning to run more 46 .” she said. When her muscles began to 47 , she kept her
48 in mind. “When you do what you love, for those you love, that is where the 49 happen. Together we can make a(n) 50 , and pave the way for a happy, healthy, cancer free life.” She said.

I wanted to stop at a sporting goods store “Going Out of Business” sale we passed in the mall. “There’s nothing we need”, my husband’s usual ill- tempered male comment. “It’s all overpriced junk. If they had anything good, they wouldn’t be going out of business.”
“But, it’s sporting goods. Could be some good deals for the grandkids. And, you like boats and fishing stuff. I’ve put up with that photo of your ‘dream- canoe’ stuck on the bathroom mirror for years now. Maybe you’d enjoy just looking around?”
“Are you crazy?” His eyes got funny and he said something like. “This loser store wouldn’t carry something like that. And I’m sure not going near those sucker crowds.”
I squared my chin and marched into the crowded store. Aisles and aisles of sporting equipment, boy toys were strung with huge blaring signs. CLOSING OUT SALE─Up to 80% OFF. NO REFUNDS.
Up and down the aisles I walked and explored, humming to myself and enjoying the excitement of a sale. All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store, in gleaming silver, full of lifejackets, paddles and fishing stuff, sat the exact canoe of my husband’s picture. I gasped and blinked three times. Yup. It was still there. The Supremo Numero-Uno blah, blah. My heart beat wildly. I made my way through the crowds, scrambled over junk in the aisles and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was─a little tattered ( 破 旧 的 ), with the manufacturer’s suggested retail price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a

handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS NO RETURNS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I’m Mathew” tag trying to hide out from bargain hunters. I grasped his sleeve. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What’s wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”
“Oh. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s brand new. We’re closing the store. It’s on clearance like everything else. I think that includes lifejackets, paddles and a bunch of fishing gear, too. I’ll go check.”
A few minutes later he came back and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It’s supposed to be $4,750 for the whole package. I just talked to my Dad who is running the close-out. He said it was worth more than $8,000 regular price so it’s still a real good deal.”
I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well,” I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He’s going to be 62 years old Friday.
Had to retire early for his health. It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. Just an old man’s silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to spend his retirement out fishing in a canoe,” my voice reduced and I turned and walked away. I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery and a bit more for tax, ma’am?” I gasped. “Yes. Yes. That’s about all I have,” I said as I thought quickly about the eye surgery I was saving up for. “Well then, you just have your husband sitting on the front porch on Friday morning around 10 o’clock so he can be there when my Dad and I come to unload his new boat. We’ll even put a bow on it for his birthday.” I started to cry. My old hand shook and I had to squint (眯眼看) as I wrote out my cheque. Mathew swallowed hard.
“Ma’am. There’s something you should know. This store was my Grandpa’s. He ran it for more than 30 years. He always promised to retire one day. Said he wanted to spend time relaxing and out fishing in a canoe. He ordered this one, custom(定制的), for himself last year but, well, just never took the time off to use it.” He swallowed even harder. “My Grandpa died, sudden-like, just last week. He was only 68 years old. I think he’d be mighty happy that your husband will get this here canoe. My Dad thinks so too. You just have to make sure he uses it a lot, okay? Promise?” I handed Mathew a Kleenex( 舒 洁 纸 巾 ) and we stood there together, quietly lost in our own thoughts for a moment, blowing our noses.
“I promise,” I said as I dashed off to look for my dear sweet husband.

Ask any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and you’ll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like they’re talking about a person they know.
In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didn’t. After examining, researchers found the readers’ brains showed heightened connectivity in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like a muscle memory. So even after you’ve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.
It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情的), because fiction is a simulation(模拟) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading --- as compared to people who weren’t taken by the story or who read non-fiction---displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.

Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different from one’s own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite --- a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive ( 认 知 的 ) development overall.
Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.”
58. Which of the statements is true according to Paragraph 2?
A. When they finish a book, the brain connectivity disappears.
B. The participants in the study all read the novel Pompeii.
C. Reading novels increases connectivity in our brain.
D. Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.
59. What’s the effect of watching TV or movies?
A. It distinguishes your views from those of others.
B. It contributes to your cognitive development.
C. It reduces your empathy for others a lot.
D. It changes your overall mental states.
60. What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Preference. B. Authority. C. Exposure. D. Evaluation.
61. What do you think is the best title for the passage?
A. Reading fiction VS Watching movie
B. Reading fiction makes a full man
C. Novel-reading is a “shadow activity”
D. Novel-readers share emotions
D
As we all know, the war is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will stop war, or war will stop man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological(细菌学的) or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠杀), but by arbitration(仲裁) in accordance with

agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology(意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a complete error. All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are, at least, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed dramatically, which we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course, very difficult problems remain in the international world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the Hi-tech bomb.
62. The author of the passage believe that .
A. it is impossible to live without war
B. differences between East and West will lead to war
C. war will be stopped by modern skill
D. war must be stopped if man wants to survive
63. Which is the only way to stop war according to the author?
A. To stop nuclear weapons.
B. To settle international issues through agreements.
C. To destroy bacteriological and chemical weapons.
D. To let the stronger side take over the world.
64. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. nuclear war will definitely not take place
B. real agreements have been reached now
C. world opinion is still divided on nuclear war
D. man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is the greatest enemy
65. What does the author feel while writing this passage?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Disappointed.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Li Hua, a senior high school student from China and happy to learn your school is recruiting volunteers to help your students experience Chinese Spring Festival. I’m writing to see if I will be lucky enough to get involved in this activity.
I have learned English for over ten years, which enables me to speak good English. So I can communicate with your students with no difficulty. In addition, I love to celebrate the Spring Festivals by making dumplings with my parents and paying new year’s visit to my friends. The experience will be of great value to have a better understanding of the festival. I am also good at using computers, which is essential to online communication.
Sharing stories, customs and food pictures of our Spring Festival with your students should be great fun and I can’t wait to answer any questions about Chinese traditional festivals.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours, Li Hua
