In high school I joined the girl athletic club. At our first track meet, I entered for the long jump, but was made an alternate（替补）for the 50 yard dash. I didn’t like it, since I was better at long distance, but they assured me I would never have to run; they just ran out of alternate. As I walked up to the start line, I saw my Dad on the sidelines. He was watching. Position, ready, set and off went the starting gun. Believe it or not, I closed my eyes and ran like I’d never run before. I knew I didn’t have a chance of winning. But I started to hear cheering and thought for a minute, was it possible? I opened my eyes and to my disappointment, everyone else was crossing the finish line, inches away from each other and I was only half the distance. That moment felt like days. I felt so stupid. I just wanted to melt into the ground and disappeared. Worse than that, my Dad was watching and then I felt ashamed. I kept running hard as I could, crying all the way towards the finish line. It seemed no one noticed me as I crossed the finish line. I saw my Dad standing there looking at me. I was ashamed to look at him. He walked over to me and said, “I’m so proud of you.” I was surprised, “For what? Everyone else finished before I even got halfway. I looked like a fool.” “Because you didn’t give up, not even when you realized what had happened. You gave it your all and finished.” I laughed and cried at the same time. I find I can face what seems impossible, even alone and afraid, and, that winning does not always come in as you expect. I give my best effort to all I do, win or lose. I don’t give up in the middle of anything. 1.The author meant to compete in . A. the 50 yard dash B. the long jump C. the long-distance run D. the high jump 2.When the author heard cheering, she thought . A. she had the chance to win the game B. she left others inches away halfway C. other competitors were encouraging her D. somebody had won the game 3.What happened after the author crossed the finish line? A. She cried at the sight of her father. B. Everyone cheered her for her success. C. Her farther came up and comforted her. D. She felt ashamed to meet her classmates. 4.What lesson can we learn form the author’s experience? A. What seems impossible always becomes possible. B. Don’t lose heart halfway whatever you do. C. Success will come as long as you expect it. D. Try to do everything until you win in the end.

Barbara and Barry Zucker – Pinchoff, both doctors from New York City, took their three daughters on a walking safari（旅行）last year in Tanzania. Barbara told about their experience in Kinbero, “It is the most remote（遥远的）place we have ever been to,” camping with a few other Americans, two Tanzanian guides, and several Hadza（哈扎人）who had time to sit and chat because they had just killed a giraffe. About 400 members of the Eastern Hadza tribe（部落）live in Tanzania today, the only hunter-gatherers who remain in Africa. The Hadza hunt game, gather edible plants and honey, and move from place to place whenever the weather changers. Every two weeks or so, they move to a new campsite. At the Pinchoffs’ campsite, three Hadza men stopped by to visit and ended up staying three days. One of the guides gave the men a cigarette. They took out the tobacco, put it in a pipe, and lit the pipe with fire they started. It takes less than two hours for Hadza women to build a new camp. They make huts（茅屋）by bending branches into round structures about six feet high, and then covering them with long, golden grass. If the weather is very wet, the women may choose a dry cave to set up a camp. Some rock caves have been used over thousands of years and are decorated（装饰）with ancient rock paintings. Whether they sleep in huts, caves or in the open, the Hadza cover themselves only with thin cloths and depend on fire to keep them warm. The Hadza refuse to be “settled” into villages or to have the life of farmers. By 1979, almost all of them had returned to their old ways. They Hadza may be the only tribe in Africa the has never paid taxes. 1. The passage mainly tells up . A. one of the author’s travel experiences B. the life of the Hadza tribe in Tanzania C. Barbara’s walking safari in Tanzania D. the efforts of the Hadza to keep their old ways 2.What does the underlined word “game” ( in Paragraph 2 ) probably refer to? A. Part of a match. B. Edible wild animals. C. An area of work. D. A children’s activity. 3.What do we know about the life of the Hadza? A. They change their campsites regularly. B. They live mainly on farming. C. They keep warm using leaves at night. D. It takes them a long time to set up a camp. 4.Where do the Hadza live in wet weather? A. On the farm. B. In huts. C. In caves. D. In the open.

Some mammals migrate（迁徒）. One of these is the caribou（驯鹿）. They travel to the tundra（苔原）every summer to eat the rich grasses that grow there. When the weather becomes cooler, they migrate to the warmer forests and spend the winter there. Another mammal that migrates is the humpback whale. They spend the winter in Hawaii, and the summer in the Arctic（北极的）waters. They travel to the Arctic to eat millions of small shrimp（虾）. Anther habit that some animals have to survive the cold winter is called hibernation. Animals that hibernate, rest or sleep during the winter. While they are hibernating, their bodies use up the fat layer that they have put on by eating large amounts of food during the summer. Some animals that hibernate in the Arctic are small animals called lemmings（旅鼠）, squirrels（松鼠）and bears. There are two habit adaptations that animals in the Arctic have all year round. These are called herding and pack life. Caribou are example of animals that live in herds. A herd is a group of animals that lives together for most, or all of their lives. A herd of caribou can have a thousand or more animals in it. They live in herds for protection. It is easier for caribou to protect themselves when they are together than it is when they are alone. This is because the meat-eaters hunt in packs. A pack is a small group of animals that lives together. It is usually controlled by a head male and a female. All the members of the pack must obey them. Packs have a very definite social structure. Each animal in a pack has a different position, or importance. Animals in a pack are usually meat-eaters. They live together for protection and hunting purposes. 1.According to the first paragraph, the humpback whale . A. travels to the Arctic for shrimp in summer B. spends the winter in the Arctic C. lives in Hawaii in summer D. has the same living habits as the caribou 2.What kind of animal doesn’t hibernate in the Arctic? A. The caribou. B. The bear. C. The squirrel. D. The lemming. 3. Caribou live in herds in order to . A. use up their fat layer B. find food C. protect themselves D. hunt in packs 4. What do we know about pack life according to the last paragraph? A. Animals in pack are usually grain-eaters. B. All animals are in an equal position in a pack. C. It is either controlled by a head mate or by a female. D. Each animal has its own different role in a pack.

If you want to learn anything at school, you need to listen to your teachers. Unfortunately, millions of kids can’t hear what their teachers are saying. And it’s not because these students are goofing off. Often, it’s the room’s fault. Building architecture and building design can create echo(回声)-filled classrooms that make hearing difficult. Children with hearing impairments（损伤）suffer most from noisy classrooms. They sometimes can’t hear questions that other students ask in class. Compared with kids with healthy hearing, they have a harder time picking up new vocabulary words by hearing them in talking. Even kids with normal hearing have a harder time in the classroom when there’s too much noise. Younger children in particular have trouble separating important sounds – like a teacher’s voice – from background noise. Kids with learning disabilities and speech impediments（障碍）and kids for whom English is a second language also have a harder time learning in noisy situations. In recent years, scientists who study sound have been asking schools to reduce background noise, which may include loud air-conditioners and pipes. They’re also targeting outdoor noises, such as highway traffic. Noise reduction is a big deal. Why? Because quieter classrooms might make you smarter by letting you hear your lessons better. “It’s so obvious that we should have quiet rooms that allow for access to the lesson,” says Dan Ostergren, a hearing scientist. “Sometimes it surprises me that we spend so much time discussing this topic. I just want to go. Why is this hard for anyone to grasp?” 1. The underlined part “goofing off” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “ ”. A. lazy B. intelligent C. sleepy D. foolish 2.Who is most affected by noisy classrooms? A. Children with learning disabilities. B. Children with hearing impairments. C. Children with speech impediments. D. Children with normal hearing. 3. Why should noise be reduced in classrooms? A. Quiet classrooms are suitable for kids to have discussions. B. Quiet classrooms help kids recover from hearing impairments. C. Kids can become smarter after hearing lessons better. D. Kids can’t separate sounds of air-conditioners and pipes. 4. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Noisy classrooms B. Classroom design C. The sense of hearing D. Disabled kids
