 One afternoon, When I walked out the supermarket, I found an old man who struggled with two bags of food. It was very cold. I guessed he must have a long walk ahead of him. I stopped the car near him and put the window down to ask if he needed a ride. With a little hesitation, he did accept.

After he got settled in the car, my husband and I introduced ourselves, but he didn’t say a word. During the drive, we tried to make him more comfortable with some small talk. His home was more than two miles away, so it would have been a difficult walk for anyone, let alone an old man carrying bags.

When we pulled up outside his door, the first thing he asked is “How much money do you want?” “Nothing, we just wanted to help,” we answered. The shock and relief on this man’s face was actually sad, because we should be able to live in a world where it isn’t shocking to have someone help you out of the goodness of their heart without expecting something in return. He was overwhelmed. Tears in his eyes, he said “Thank you!” over and over to me after realizing we truly didn’t want anything, which made me feel proud.

My only words to him were, sir, I hope this helped you out and have a good week. These simple acts of kindness are the types of kindnesses that anyone, anywhere can do. It doesn’t cost a cent. Just be aware of the world happening around you. There is always someone who needs something—a door held, a bag carried... the opportunities are endless.

24. Why did we give the old man a lift after shopping?

A. Because we wanted to help others.  B. Because he begged us to do so.

C. Because we wanted to earn money.  D. Because he was our old friend.

25. How did the old man feel in our car at first?

A. Happy and moved.  B. Comfortable but grateful.

C. Nervous and quiet.  D. Pleased but cautious.

26. What did the old man want to do after he got off the car?

A. He wanted to give us something he bought.

B. He planned to pay for the car ride.

C. He decided to introduce himself to us.

D. He wanted to show his kindness for us.

27. What can we learn according to the passage?

A. Kindness doesn’t cost a cent.  B. The acts of kindness should be great.

C. Helping others makes people sad.  D. There is always a chance for kindness.

C

 In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair­weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck，but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character，especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor，he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding，I know I’ve found a friend!

28. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?

A. Understanding.     B. Honesty.  C. Reliability. D. A sense of humor.

29. If you have fair­weather friends, ________.

A. they will give you all that they have when you need help

B. you will be refused when you get into trouble

C. you can be sure that you get real friends

D. you will become rich

30. This passage mainly discusses ________.

A. the qualities of a friend

B. where to choose friends

C. how to get along with friends

D. the importance of having a friend

31. How many qualities does the writer mention in the passage?

A. Three.    B. Four.   C. Five.  D. Six.

D

Time Travel

If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch a performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.

The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name,as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term"time machine", coined by Wells,is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.

But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called"wormholes", which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship-going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.

Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the"grandfather paradox". It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn't born,how would he travel back in time?

And would you really like to visit the future? In H.G.Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).

If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.

32. The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show______.

A. the long history of time travel

B. the contribution of H.G.Wells

C. people's interest in time travel

D. the story's different features

33. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The Time Machine is one of the bestselling science fiction novels.

B. It was H.G.Wells who invented the term “time machine”.

C. Works of Literature about time travel first appeared one hundred years ago.

D. There are films,comic books and dramas adapted from the novel The Time Machine.

34. Einstein's and Hawking' s theories______.

A. have similarities because both are based on experiments

B. suggest the possibility of time travel

C. have been proved wrong by some time travelers

D. have pushed the invention of the first spaceship

35. In Paragraph 4, "grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that______.

A. the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness

B. the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather

C. the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather

D. the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible

High School Study Skills

Excited about starting high school? You should be! High school is one of the most fantastic experiences of your life!  36  This is the time when you begin to develop the skills that you will use in college and in the working world. As you go forward in these important years, you should change your study habits and skills.

Improve note-taking skills. To some degree, high school will bring a new challenge for students who learned to rely on textbooks during junior school.  37   This means students must learn to take notes with careful attention — or the information will be lost! The key to take good notes is identifying the most important things to write down.

  38   One skill that doesn’t get so much attention is the ability to really listen! In order to take good class notes, you need to listen carefully in class and mark each word that is repeated. Once you learn to become an active listener, you will be able to study much better.

Get ready for class discussions. As you are preparing for the next day, write down anything that might worth a good discussion.   39   When classroom discussions do arise, you should record important points on different opinions. This is the sort of thing that will pay off on your test.

Get more organized. In junior school you learned to use many folders, and you met different teaching styles. This continues in high school; you will have to become more organized and take on much more responsibility when it comes to keeping track of homework.   40      

A. Learn how to listen better.

B. Be prepared to discuss further.

C. Think about what to note down.

D. Remember to increase your test prepare time.

E. In fact, high school sets the stage for college and adulthood.

F. It’s important to keep checklists to complete all of your homework.

G. In high school, teachers will introduce some new ideas beyond textbooks.

At that time, I was a poor and unhappy college student. The little girl    57    me into her world, a world of smiles, love and warmth. Now I’m a successful business person. Whenever I start to feel    58    and think about the troubles of the world, I    59    that little girl and the remarkable    60    about life that she taught me.
