No one knows how much money Dr. Lyle Tullis gave away to students. I was his colleague for nearly a decade and I never stopped being amazed at his generosity. Our college has a program of providing cross-cultural experiences for students. Lots of students take advantage of summer experiences oversea. I discovered that no group left for overseas without some of its members receiving financial help from Dr. Tullis. It wasn’t that he made a lot of money. For one thing, he taught in a church-run school. There, his salary (薪水)was half of what those people earned in a tax-supported school. Other colleagues occasionally complained about the low pay. Not Lyle Tullis. Occasionally some professors would leave our campus for a better-paid position. They told me they did so because, with better pay, they could provide for their families. The size of Lyle Tullis’ paycheck never seemed to be the most important thing to him. I realized that one day when I was thanking him for helping a student, his eyes shone as he said to me, “I’ve got so much money that I don’t know what to do with it. So, I just give it away.” Most people wouldn’t have thought that way. Dr. Tullis drove one of the oldest cars on campus. It was even older than almost any of the students’ cars. His home, while comfortable, was not fancy at all. But Lyle Tullis lived with the feeling that he had so much money that he needed to give it away. He was one of the favorite on campus. Cynics(愤世嫉俗) might say he bought fame. But they would misunderstand. Lyle wanted to devote his life, all of it, to helping others. 1.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Dr. Tullis was very popular with his students. B. The author was wondering why Dr. Tullis gave students money. C. Dr. Tullis was generous in giving his students financial help. D. The author had a program of providing cross-cultural experiences for students. 2.Why did Dr. Tullis give his money away? A. He had a good fortune. B. He wanted to buy fame. C. He was ready to help students in need. D. He didn’t know where to put it away. 3.What can we learn from the text? A. Dr. Tullis was very content with his low pay. B. Dr. Tullis cared little about his family. C. The author felt confused about Dr. Tullis’ generosity. D. Many people would misunderstand Dr. Tullis 4.Which of the following can best describe Dr. Tullis? A. Honest. B. Generous. C. Friendly. D. Conservative.

Guide dogs are going to be available for the children who are unable to see normally in the UK for the first time, as the age limit is to be removed. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is to begin training dogs to help blind people under the age of 16. The association says too many youngsters with impaired eyesight are lacking in independence. They have only a limited social life because of their disability. Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence. Guide dogs for these teenagers will begin to be provided from next year. There has been an experimental project to test the use of guide dogs with younger people. Charlotte, aged 14, was among the youngest guide dog owners. She had been gradually losing her eyesight since the age of eight, and lost her eyesight completely this year. She has been assisted by a two-year-old guide dog. Charlotte used to have a long stick to help her move around, but having a guide dog allows her much more freedom and makes her feel safer. However, the association says there is a worryingly patchy supply of services for the young blind people across the UK, and it calls for a sharp increase in the number of guide dogs all over the country. As with adult blind people, only a small number of them are likely to be considered suitable for a guide dog. Most will continue to rely on extra help and training from education and social services. 1.What can we learn about guide dogs from the text? A. They have been provided for teenagers in the UK. B. They are beneficial to blind children’s development. C. They became possible in the UK recently. D. They are quite popular in the UK. 2.What does Charlotte’s example tell us? A. It is necessary to carry out the experimental project. B. Guide dogs can get along well with disabled people. C. The association’s opinion is not quite right. D. Youngsters need companions and friends. 3.What does the underlined word “patchy” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Endless. B. Perfect. C. Inadequate. D. Diverse. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. Blind people need guide dogs’ assistance in their daily life. B. Age limit for the blind to have guide dogs is to be removed. C. More guide dogs will be trained in the UK. D. The project of using guide dogs is to begin.

Living abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students. If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don’t just think about the university’s reputation; look for the most suitable for your goals. Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves filling in application forms, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round, simply because they don’t follow the application procedure properly. Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it. 1.Why does the author think studying abroad is truly worthwhile according to paragraph1? A. It is a chance to develop your career. B. It is an interesting experience. C. It is fun to travel around the world. D. All your friends are doing so. 2.What can a school ranking list tell us? A. The names of all the professors. B. How good the school is compared to others. C. How much the courses cost. D. Where the school is located. 3.What are the three basic steps when you apply? A. Buy an airplane ticket, read the instructions and requirements, and study. B. Write a reference letter, do paperwork, and study. C. Prepare reference letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form. D. Prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard. 4.What does the underlined phrase “get kicked out in the first round” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. lose money in the first round B. get accepted in the next round C. fail to get to the next round D. get kicked by a professor

Some of our daily habits have the power to always give us happiness and lead us toward success. Here are some little habits that can make a big difference: 2.

As long as you live, there will always be something to learn, and as long as you follow your heart and your passions, you won’t miss out on learning. Believe in yourself and all that your are. 4.
