After 11 years of struggling（拼搏),the Chinese women’s national volleyball team made it to the top. On Sept 6, the team beat Japan 3-1 to win the championship for the women’s volleyball World Cup. This was the team’s biggest success since its gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

The players kissed the trophy with excitement and some even cried. This was not an easy victory. Less than two hours before the game , the team lost three key players due to serious injuries(伤病)，including captain Hui Ruoqi .

The coach , “Iron Hammer” Lang Ping, encouraged the young players to bond(团结)together and fight till the end. Lang spent less than four hours sleeping every night during the World Cup in order to analyze the team’s problems.

The team didn’t disappoint(使......失望)Lang. Players with slight injuries all insisted(坚持) on staying on the court. Zhu Ting,21, said, “My legs were in a lot of pain, but I stand it.”

Chinese women volleyball players have the honorable tradition of a fighting spirit .Back in 1981, an older generation of the women’s national team won China its first volleyball world champion-ship. At that time , Lang was still a player on the team. Now she is a coach and passed the fighting spirit onto the young players.

The Chinese women’s national volleyball team made history in the 1980s.They won five world championship in a row(连续).Now the young players show promise again. We hope they keep winning!

I came to study in the USA a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I injured (伤害) in an accident, because after the accident I had to see a doctorand to court (法院).

After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $ 200 for what he had done. I was very surprised. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible (负责) for my injury. I’d have to have a good lawyer (律师). And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.

But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another, yet he charged me $ 115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $ 215.

My lawyer knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided not to ask for him again. And he made me pay him $ 770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance company (保险公司)the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent.

My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship or honor. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

A. he thought it was a chance to make some money

C. he knew the doctor was a very good one

D. he wanted the writer to have a good lawyer

2.A good doctor is necessary for the writer to __________.

A. be properly treated

B. talk with the person responsible for the accident

C. become healthy before he leaves America

D. finally get the responsible party to pay for his injury

3.The word “charge” in this passage means “__________”.

A. be responsible B. be careful

C. ask as a price D. get an answer

4.What can you get from the story?

A. Going to court is something very common in America.

B. Money is more important than other things in the USA.

C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.

D. One must be very careful while driving a car.

Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.

The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.

Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children.

Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.

Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside  prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.

So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.

1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average accordingto the

research?

A. 30 minutes.      B. 60 minutes.

C. 90 minutes.      D. 120 minutes.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.

B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children because they have more know ledge of protecting their eyesight.

C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a day playing out side.

D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.

3.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.

B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.

C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.

D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.

My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.

The first two       there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang beautifully for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them.

As we were singing on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer(老年痴呆症), most of them looked off at the walls or floor. However, one lady         my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn’t        like that. As we got       with each song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got.     she was singing, she was also reaching out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my responsibilities(责任) were to my students. People who worked at the care center could attend to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling       about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.

Justin also       the same lady. The difference between us is that he acted on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song,Silent Night, Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her eyes and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my       to let you know that.”

This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No words can completely describe that touching moment.

It took a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love. Justin’s example of a complete, selfless attitude(态度) toward another was a     that I will never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself      to have witnessed(目击) his lesson.
