Wherever in the world you’re reading this right now, you will be aware of just how mixed modern society has become in terms of race. Within the UK, mixed-raced children are the largest1ethnic minority. Bringing home a partnerof a different2to yourself is no longer viewed as, “strange” or “different” in alot of families.When Joseph brought home Hari, the3that she was of Indian parentage was never even talked about — she made him happy. They made each other happy. And that was all that4.
But the reason why they were together for 11 years before they got5is that Hari was afraid of telling her6about the person that she’d fallen in love with. She was afraid of the consequences it would7for her younger sisters. Would theybe packed off to India? Would they end up in arranged8they may not want? At 22 years old, when she first fell in love with him — it wasa large burden to9.
But she loved him, and10they moved in together… and then bought a house by theBrighton coast, where they have11for almost 8 years. All the while her parents didn’t know. Her sisters did, and they too lovedJoseph — they12him as the brother they’d never had.
But after nine years together, she finally had to tell her father (her mother13away a few years ago). We were on tenderhooks(惶恐不安)the weekend she went up North to tell him.
It was emotional and as a family we were worried. Hari had been14of our family for so long, we felt for her. We knew how15it would be. She loved her father, but knew this would hurt him, who was a very traditional Sikh man.

Jamaican sprinter (短跑选手) Usain Bolt plans to send a message to rival Tyson Gay by breaking the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday.

     Bolt, who won gold in the 100m,200m and 4*100m relay in reord times at the Beijing Olympics last year, is determined to use the Crystal Palace event to crush the morale (士气)  of his main rival for gold at next month’s World Athletics Championships in Berlin.

     The 22-year-old is slowly returning to peak form after posting 19.59 sec for the 200m in Lausanne earlier this month and clocking a time of 9.79 sec over 100m in cold, rainy conditions in Paris on Friday.

     Despite Bolt’s impressive times, Gay still believes he has the beating of the Jamaican. But Bolt insists there is no one in the sport who scares him and he will prove the point in south London this weekend.

  Although Bolt believes he is only running at 85 percent at the moment while he recovers from injuries suffered in a recent car crash in Jamaica, he sees no reason why he can’t break his world record 100m time of 9.69 seconds.

  However he won’t get the chance to take on Gay in the 100m in London as the American is only running in the 200m, which Bolt is not competing in, so he will have to settle for underlining his own ability.

  “You never know what is possible. I will give my best either way. My friends are saying I’m bringing the rain wherever I go but we will see on Friday.”

   While Bolt would love to make a big impact in London, he knows the main event is the World Championships.

   “The London Grand Prix will show me where I’m at and what I need to do. After, we can analyse what I need to do ahead of the World Championships.”

According to the passage, Bolt competed and will compete in the following event. Which of them is arranged in time order?

a. Lausanne athletics gold league matches

b. Beijing Olympic Games

c. Paris athletics gold league matches

d. World Athletic championships

e. London grand Prix

A. b-c-a-e-d       B.b-c-a-d-e         C.b-a-c-e-d       D. b-a-c-d-e

What does the underlined phase “take on” mean in paragraph 6?

    A.employ        B. compete against   C. accept         D. develop

Which of the following is true?

   A. Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt broke the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday.

   B. Bolt will not compete in the 200m in London because of Gay’s impressive times.

   C. Bolt won 3 gold medals at the Beijing Olympic Games at the age of 22.

   D. Bolt suffered a car crash in London recently.

What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

   C. Bolt made a big difference in the London Grand Prix.

   D. Bolt is not confident in his success in the London Grand Prix.

B
When I was about 10 one day, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, “You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the café and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(低微的) they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I’ve become vice-president, but that hasn’t changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.
The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.
【小题1】What is the best title for this passage?

A.The Power of Being Talkative
B.My Mother’s Influence on Me
C.The Power of Saying hello
D.My Way to Become Vice-President
【小题2】 It is implied in the first paragraph that____.
A.the writer didn’t know Mr. Lee
B.the writer didn’t say hello to Mr. Lee on that occasion
C.the writer didn’t get along well with his mother
D.the writer’s mother stopped to say hello to everyone she met
【小题3】 What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.The writer didn’t say hello to everyone in the company.
B.The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.
C.The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.
D.The president of the company actually didn’t like the writer at all.
【小题4】 For the writer, saying hello to others_______.
A.is a way to get what he wants
B.has become a habit and a way of life.
C.is a way to show respect for his mother

The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)
If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me.    【小题1】   Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.
◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down?   【小题2】   But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.
◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten.    【小题3】   You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.
   【小题4】   After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.
◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it.    【小题5】   In the end, you will expand your ideas.

A.I often experienced that myself.
B.It trains you to express your thoughts.
C.It allows you to see your progress over time.
D.Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.
E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.
F. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.
G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.

Then I looked at my financial(财政的)package.

The cost of Dream School’s tuition(学费), room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.

In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.

One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was to smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.

At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus (校园)including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.

As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.

In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.

1.How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?

A.He was lost in his dream.

B.He was full of joy.

C.He was worried about the money.

D.He was uncertain which school to go to.

2.We can learn from the passage that the parents were _________.

A.honest           B.supportive         C.strict             D.decisive

3.In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride”can be replaced by “_______”.

A.would charge me nothing for tuition         B.would pay for transport to the school

C.would show me around the campus          D.would offer free meals at all events

4.What does the author mainly want to say?

A.You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.

B.You should try your best to attend your dream school.

C.Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.

D.Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.
