Dear mum and dad,

I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At the moment we're staying near Uluru-that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The

colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that made the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.

The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours,and they enjoy the same food and hobbies.The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.

Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.

The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else

thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down.

Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!

Tony

34. Which is NOT true according to Paragraph One?

A. Uluru is the name for Ayers Rock.

B. The height of Uluru is 384 meters.

C. The rock of Uluru doesn't change colors.

D. Uluru is the center of Aboriginal culture.

35. Tony may be a(n) _____________.

A.British      B. Australian      C.American      D. Chinese

36. The underlined word "temper" means " _____________"in Chinese.

A脾气           B记忆            C.命令          D.信心

37 What is the best title of this passage?

A. A Balloon Tour

B. An Aboriginal Letter

C A Fantastic Trip

D. A Summer Evening

C

When I was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs- two large ones with arm rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the "head" of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at table; it was a place in which he was situated(坐落) against the yard and the trees. It was the holy(神圣的)and protected place that was his, and ours through him.

After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small house. When they came to visit me at their old house. Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning that special seat. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home.I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that 'head" place in my Dad's presence (出席) ? And how would he see it? I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest child's first birthday.

Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath

and said, "Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side." He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have beer easy to say, "My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit, " But I didn't.

When he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don't know how Dad felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a change, which we continue to live with.

It wasn't easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has taken place. I am beginning to learn that "honoring one's father" is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell. We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose.

38. Why did Dad always sit in the big chair at the end of the table before he retired?

A Because the chair was large enough for him

B Because sitting there he could see the trees and grass in the yard.

C.Because it was the holy seat for the head of the family.

D.Because the chair was comfortable with arm rests.

39. What do we know from the second and third paragraphs?

A The writer's parents moved out because the house was too old.

B. The writer didn't want to hurt his father's feelings.

C.The writer's wife was rude to his parents.

D.The writer didn't listen to his wife's request.

40. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Dad felt upset after being removed from his usual place

B.The writer was satisfied with the new seating arrangement(安排).

C.Dad continued to tell stories to cover his embarrassment(尴尬).

D.Dad didn't appear to mind where he sat

41. What does the writer intend to tell us?

A. Respecting Dad is more than the question of dining seat.

B.It is not easy to go against parents' wishes.

C.Think twice before you act.

D.Every coin has two sides.

D

Hopes, ambitions (抱负)， dreams. How many of yours will you achieve? When you look back at your life in the future, will you have good memories of all the things that you did? Or will you regret all the things that you didn't do?

Of course, there's no easy road to success, but one thing is certain: success won't come if you don't do anything. So how do you do it? This four-step model will help you to make your dreams come true.

Step2:48._____________

1. Choose one or two ambitions. If you try to do everything, you won't do anything.

2. Set a time limit (限定). This is very important, because you will have a goal and you will also know when you have reached it.

So, for example, I would like to be fitter. in Step I now becomes I will be fit enough to Join a half-marathon race by the end of August.

Step 3: 49._____________

Step 4:50._____________

This is when you change your intentions(意图) into specific actions. Prepare to do something at a specific time. If you don't do this, your dreams and plans will just stay as dreams and plans. So now I'm going to join a running club. becomes I'm meeting the president of the Cheetahs Running Club on Monday evening at 5:30.

Don't let your ambitions die. Follow this four-step plan and make your dream come true.

A. Change I would like to.. to I will..
