I’m very sorry to have missed the first two lesson this morning. I got up early as usually in the morning, but when I was ready to leave I find my bicycle’s front tyre flat. I wanted to take bus or taxi to school, and I didn’t have any money with me. I had to look for a place along the street to get my bicycle repairing. Unluckily, there were not any bicycle repair shops was open in the early morning. So I had to walk to school, carrying my bicycle all the way. That’s how I was late for school. Please don’t worry with my lessons, Mr. Li. I will make up for it and turn to teachers for help if necessary.

How to Make Friends

Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,the spirit of generosity is instantly noticeable :

A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked. 

A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant provides poor local people with healthy, delicious lunches six days a week. Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer lunches can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equip--ment for the cafe.

It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”. says co-owner Brad Birky , who started the café in 

2006. With his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there. 

“We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable ,regardless of 

their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials 

are natural and grown by local farmers.

The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosi--ty behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys,” He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane cleanup,” says Birky. 

68. What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?

A. They refused to have volunteers. B. They offered low quality food.

C. They provided customers with a good environment.

D. They closed down because of poor management.

69. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead.

B. More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.

C. Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.

D. The lunch menu has remained the same since the café was started.

70. The author’s attitude towards running such a café is_______

A. unfavorable B. approving C.doubtful D. cautious

 If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

      But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

      In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.  The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.  So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.  Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. 

  So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.

  Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

  As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.

    Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions（使命）often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station（ISS）. ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email , Internet phone and through Private video conferences.

    While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission. the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for The astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters . And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS , giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing （冲浪）”in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.

    Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each time each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.
