    The Spanish exploration was the beginning of the history of San Francisco Harbor. That long history is celebrated at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. The park’s main visitor center is only a few hundred meters from the waters of the great harbor. It is a memorial to the great ships and those who sailed them.

    The visitor center holds many objects linked to the past of the great harbor. There are small ships, ship equipment, and hundreds of beautiful old photographs. Many visitors stop to look at a large painting of a huge sailing ship named the Balclutha.

    Visitors who look at the painting can go out through the front door of the visitor center and see the real Balclutha. People walking near Fisherman’s Wharf often do not believe their eyes when they first see the Balclutha. Almost everyone stops and looks at the huge ship. The ship looks almost new. Several years ago, more than one million dollars was spent in repairing and painting it. Now, more than two hundred thousand people a year visit the ship.

    The Balclutha is perhaps the most popular ship with visitors at the Maritime Park. However, there are also several other ships which are very important to the history of the great harbor. But not all of these ships are open to the public. One that is open is a small steam-powered workboat, called the Hercules. The Hercules was a tugboat. Until 1924 it pulled ships around the harbor.

    Another boat popular with visitors is the Eureka. It was built in 1890. It is the largest wooden ship still floating today. The Eureka was a ferryboat. It carried people and cars across the bay. It did this until the Golden Gate Bridge and the Oakland Bay Bridge were built.

    The park also has a very unusual looking museum. It is a large building that almost looks like a ship. The museum is filled with interesting equipment. One of the most interesting objects in the museum is a small sailboat called the Mermaid, which is only large enough for one person to sit in.

    The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refers to _________.

    A. the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park

    B. the Spanish exploration

    C. the main visitor center

    D. San Francisco Harbor

    What can we know about the Balclutha according to the passage?

    A. It is the largest wooden ship.

    B. It is worth about one million dollars now.

    C. It is a steam-powered workboat used to pull ships.

    D. The huge ship attracts lots of visitors every year.

    The ships are described in the passage in order to _______.

    A. show the history of the great harbor

    B. tell us each ship has its own features

    C. tell us which one is the most popular

    D. tell us these ships’ functions

    We know from the passage that ________.

    A. the Eureka is still used for carrying people and cars

    B. the Hercules has not been used for pulling ships since 1924

    C. the Mermaid is a small tugboat that can only hold one person

    D. most of the ships in the park are open to the public

    Eat to Excel

    How fit are you? Do you look after yourself? Do you eat healthily or do you eat anything you like? Premier League football club Aston Villa are encouraging their players and local children to eat healthy food. They know that what you eat is the key to success.

    How fit is a footballer?

    Could you run ten kilometers in 90 minutes? A professional footballer can. Footballers have to be strong, quick, skillful and creative in their moves. Every Premier League club makes sure it has a good coaching scheme and a well-planned fitness program. They also ensure that players have the practice and training that will prepare them for matches. What else do you think clubs pay special attention to? A good stadium? Anything else? What about the food they eat?

    Eating the right thing

    A good diet is a fundamental part of sport these days. Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill’s sport and health experts have chosen a secret weapon --- organic food (food grown without chemicals). Fitness manager Jim Henry eats with his players and said: “I chose to switch to organic food for Aston Villa because I’ve read studies showing that organic food has higher levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.” He believes that the best way to get these is to eat the very best fresh food.

    What to eat after the match

    Head chef at Aston Villa, lan Edge, feeds players with the best food as soon as they finish an away match. He says: “Food is very important to sports stars and particularly after a game. There is an hour of opportunity when they need to eat to get the best muscle strength, so I hand out meals on the coach on the way home. If we can make one per cent difference to the players by using organic food, then it is worth it.”

    Teaching healthy eating

    Everyone at Aston Villa enjoys organic food at their training ground. But the club is also worried about the unhealthy diet among local children who prefer sweets and unhealthy fast food. As part of their work in the community, Aston Villa has opened up their kitchen and invited children from local schools to come and learn how to cook with the help of the Villa head chef. Villa midfielder, Nigel ReoCoker, visited the children on the opening day. “The kitchen promotes healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.” he said.

    A final word from the kitchen

    Head chef Ian says: “Footballers know how important food is to their profession and nine times out of ten, they go for the healthiest option.” Do you watch your diet? If you do and you keep yourself fit, you can be a winner!

    Every Premier League Club provides footballers with ______________.

    A. a good coach

    B. a fitness center

    C. proper practice and training

    D. a delicious diet

    According to Jim Henry, ___________________.

    A. he believes the studies he has read about organic food

    B. he will only eat organic food with his players

    C. he thinks food is especially important after a game

    D. he chose organic food as a secret weapon for footballers

    We can learn from the passage that ___________________.

    A. people can make one percent difference to players by using organic food

    B. only a few footballers pay attention to the healthy eating

    C. footballers in Aston Villa usually eat on their way to the match

    D. footballers in Aston Villa usually eat some food within an hour after a match.

    Why has Aston Villa invited children from local schools?

    A. Because they want to teach kids how to cook delicious food.

    B. Because they want to teach kids to play football.

    C. Because they are fond of the kids in the community.

    D. Because they intend to promote healthy eating.

    The Donkey Mobile Library

    It is a bright morning in the Ethiopian countryside. Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart to display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but children’s books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world.

    Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children.

    Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. It’s mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book.

    “Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you can’t really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.”

    Yohannes first worked in the children’s section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative children’s literature is. He says, “I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring children’s books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?”

    He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time.

    “What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him.

    “The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly. 

    1.How do the children feel when they see the Donkey Mobile Library?

    A．Excited.           B．Surprised.         C．Interested.        D．Curious

    2.We can conclude from the passage that      .

    B．Yohannes and Kurtz share similar life experiences

    C．most books in the Donkey Mobile Library were bought in America

    D．donkey carts in Awassa usually carry vegetables and tools

    3.According to the passage, the Donkey Mobile Library      .

    A．visits the countryside every day            B．was created by Yohannes himself

    C．benefits Ethiopian children a lot            D．was the first of its kind in the world

    4.Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

    A．A book review..     B．A news report      C．A historical story.    D．An advertisement.

    Welcome every morning with a smile. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.

    Starting the day right can give good momentum (动力) for the rest of the day. Having a power morning is a key factor for a fruitful day. Here are some tips on getting the most out of the morning.

    Wake up early. In theory, there’s no difference in waking up early or late as long as you get the proper amount of sleep. However, there is a psychological advantage when you wake up earlier than the average person and then you’ll have more time to do preparation before engaging in the real world.

    Exercise. Good health is always a benefit with exercise, but studies have also shown that morning exercise helps you to sleep better at nights.

    Eat breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day. According to the Mayo Clinic, we should choose three from the following four: fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein. Did you know that you can actually gain weight when you skip breakfast?

    Take a shower. When you shower, do you do it in the morning or at night? I used to shower in the evenings, but I found that morning showers helped me to be more alert.

    Prioritize (优先) your To-Do list. Leo coined the acronym MIT to mean “most important tasks.” Our to-do list might be never ending, but put on top of the list a couple of urgent tasks that will define the day to be a successful one.

    Check your emails. Only once. Getting a lot of emails can be very distractive. You actually are more productive when you check them only a few times at fixed time of the day. I only do them 2-3 times a day—once in the morning, once at lunch, and one more as it gets toward the end of the day.

    1.The purpose for the author to write this passage is to       .

    A．tell you to get up early every day

    B．offer you the best way to start the day

    C．give you advice about how to arrange a day

    D．advise you to prioritize your to-do list every morning

    2.If you don’t have breakfast, you may       .

    A．lose weight.

    B．be productive.

    C．put on weight.

    D．be more alert.

    3.The underlined word “coined” in Paragraph 6 means       .

    A．invented

    B．designed

    C．founded

    D．defined

    4.The author advises you to check your emails only once because       .

    A．the emails are not important

    B．reading e-mails is distractive

    C．you can only read e-mails at fixed time

    D．getting so many emails can distract your attention
