For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift(礼物）and the gift would make his life different. On that day his father took him to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.

To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week.

Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin's parents would let him decide.

Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography". He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren't rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking. The next course to catch his eye was Language Art. He didn't even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.

Then he saw it. "Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative. Based on Lin's hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others. The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.

Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.

16.Why didn't Lin choose to study photography?

A.lt was too expensive.    B.He had no interest in it.

C.He was not very creative.   D.It was not offered that term.

17.The underlined expression "catch his eye" in Paragraph 4 means_________.

A.make him excited     B.cause him surprise

C.get his attention     D.help him see clearly

18.Which of the following best describes Lin’s interest in cooking?

A.It only Tasted for a short time.

B.It seemed to match his character(性格）

C.It was forced(被强迫）on him by his parents.

D.It developed slowly over many months.

19.Why did the father have doubts about Lin's choice of cooking?

A.Lin wasn't good at cooking.

B.Cooking wasn't very convenient.

C.He didn't think Lin would continue.

D Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy.

20.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.A strict Father      B.A Changeable Boy

C.The Fun of Cooking    D.The Birthday Gift

C

This is a tale of two friends-one is blind, and the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disaled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China's Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!

Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee.

Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise(天堂）．Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.

When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Because they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the treetop and with Wengi's direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.

Though hard-working, the men don't make much money. But as Wenqi says, "We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter." Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need-a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!

21.Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?

A.Haixia needed someone to help him.

B.They both needed a way to make money.

C.They wanted to improve the environment.

D.They were required to do so by local officials.

22.Haixia and Wenqi’s forest has helped the village by_________.

A.stopping floods in the rainy season   B.increasing the number of tourists

C.making the villagers richer     D.providing more farmland

23.Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?

A.They are easy to get.      B.They do not cost money.

C.They can grow very quickly.    D.They are preferred by animals.

24.In paragraph 5, when Wenqi says, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that”___________”.

A.They hope to make the forest even better.  

B. the fruits from their trees are very sweet

C.they are proud not to depend on others

D.they are able to do any difficult work

25.What can we learn from the story?

A.Never give up and you will succeed.  B.We should help the disabled to work.

C.Try your best when facing difficulties. D.We can achieve more with teamwork.

E.Unluckily, only a few people knew this talk.

F. He found that sound could travel through metal cables(电缆）

Most of us think the telephone was invented(发明) by Alexander Graham Bell.26__________.In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized(官方认定) as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn't he known for his invention at the time?

Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808.He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to do experiments with electricity(电). 27_________. When two places were connected with wire(线），people in those places could hear each other talk.

In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill.28___________To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently.

Meucci asked a group of people to see his new invention. They listened happily as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires.29_____________. Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent（申请专利）on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him.

In 2002,more than a century after Meucci's death, his work was finally recognized by the

government.30___________.
