The author of this book was a man named Paulo Coelho, and he was told by the first bookseller to carry his book, that only one person bought a copy after it was published. Though it was bad to hear about the shocking results, Coelho remained confident in his work.    He waited for better results to appear, but they were slow to come. Six months had passed before the next copy was sold. Strangely, the person who bought his first book was the same person who bought the second.    After that first year, the publisher decided that the book was a flop and ended Coelho's contract. Fortunately, though, Coelho shrugged off that defeat. He made up his mind not to give in, and so he doubled down to pursue his dream with even more efforts by finding another publisher. Now finding this new publisher was no easy task for Coelho, as he was met with rejection after rejection. But, after many repeated rejections, he finally landed that new publisher, and with it, another opportunity to achieve his dream.    From that point forward, Coelho's dreams started to come true. At first, he only sold three thousand books. But the sales kept trickling in, and as time went by, he would sell ten thousand, and then 100 thousand, Coelho's luck has yet to run out, as his book sales continue to grow year over year, with now over 150 million and counting copies of "The Alchemist" having been sold. Even more astonishing is the fact that he sold over 320 million books including all of his other works. But it all started with that first book!4、What can we infer about "The Alchemist" in the first paragraph?A. It is a book containing an unexpected ending.B. It inspired Paulo Coelho's passion for writing.C. Almost no one noticed it after it was published.D. It is based on Paulo Coelho's own life experience.5、What does the underlined word "flop" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Lesson. B.Reward. C.Chance. D. Failure.6、Which of the following can best describe Paulo Coelho?A. Self-centred. B. Determined. C.Creative. D.Tricky.7、What does the author want to tell us through the text?A. Be supportive to others who are in need.B. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.C. Books and friends should be few but good.D. Don't judge a book on the basis of its cover.    It's easy for consumers to buy food and drinks like a bowl of hot rice and coke online or from neighbourhood shops, but for astronauts such things were impossible in the past.    Members of China's Shenzhou manned space flight last year, however, were able to enjoy such food, thanks to Joyoung, a Chinese firm. Joyoung created a mobile space kitchen for the astronauts. A drinking water machine, an air heater and a soybean milk maker were all accessible in the kitchen through a smart app. Tang Hongbo, who was a member of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, said in the news that during his three month trip, he could eat hot food with just half-hour efforts, a contrast to the past when similar attempts required several hours. If we had time, we would also use equipment to eat homemade yogurt. We could also control the equipment in the space kitchen through mobile phone apps," he said.    In the past, most foods couldn't be directly heated in a microwave oven in the space. Conduction equipment often caused uneven(不均匀的) heating. An astronaut had to spend as long as four hours to heat some vegetables in the space kitchen. To solve the problem, Joyoung has developed equipment that gives out hot air to heat vegetables in a 360-degree way. That enables astronauts to eat steaming-hot fish-flavoured pork and Gongbao chicken, a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish.    Besides Joyoung, a group of companies, including Xiaomi Corp and Huawei Technologies, have contributed their technologies to the development of the space station. A vacuum(真空) cleaner enabled haircuts on the spacecraft possible. NOLO VR, a Chinese virtual reality manufacturer, has helped astronauts develop an experimental equipment through which laboratory technicians on the ground can see and experience what astronauts are doing in the space.8、What do astronauts think of Joyoung's mobile space kitchen?A. Water-saving.   B.Energy-wasting.C. Time-saving.  D. Money-wasting.9、How does the author show the convenience on Shenzhou manned spacecraft?A.By making contrasts. B. By analyzing results.C. By providing pictures. D. By answering questions.10、What does the last paragraph want to show?A. There is more tech for the spacecraft.B. Joyoung needs to further its technology.C. Astronauts on board can do as they wish.D. What astronauts are doing is significant.11、What is the best title of the text?A. Modern Technology Brings Convenience to Human BeingsB. Earth to Space, Firms Add Value by Creating TechnologyC. The Hot Diet on the Space Station Needs to be AddressedD. Manufacturers Make Big Profits from Inventing Equipment    Wearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity. However, it seems to work in Britain.     Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for Comic Relief organization. This is a charity that helps people in need in Africa and in the UK. Comic Relief was started in 1985by Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Notting Hill". Richard started Comic Relief in answer to the serious starvation in Ethiopia. It's called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.    Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring. It is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.    The slogan(标语) for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money.” The money that was collected was used to help fund projects in such areas as education and mental health. Money-raising events take place on this day all over the country and many schools take part. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.    In the evening of Red Nose Day a very long TV program takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows some of the events of the day and reports how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events onto the Internet.    So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, you will know why you find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for a good cause!12、What can we learn about Richard Curtis?A. He likes to wear a plastic red nose.B. He is a well-known film director.C. He started a charity in the 1980s.D. He was born in a poor family in Ethiopia.13、What can you see in the TV program on Red Nose Day?A. People wearing red noses. B. Poor people doing silly things.C. Rich people applying for credit cards. D. People spending money shopping.14、What is the text mainly talking about?A. A TV program in the UK. B. A famous event in Britain.C. A helping centre for poor people. D. A popular name of a charity.15、In which section of the website may the text appear?A. Lifestyle. B. Business. C. Education. D.

The festival is observed to honor Qu Yuan, who was a patriotic poet in ancient times.

I believe you will learn a lot and enjoy yourself. Looking forward to your early reply.Yours,Li Hua34、答案：    Naoko heard Jack's cry and ran over to his yard to see what the problem was.

"Thank you for your help."    "You're welcome. I like your snowman better," Naoko said. Mine doesn't have a nose." Jack walked over to look at Naoko's snowman.
