I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.
The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold(折叠) everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated(沮丧) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.
Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.
The writer used to take care of the lady because ________.

The underlined word ‘paralyzed’ in the first paragraph may mean ‘______’.

The little girl was ______ when the lady taught her how to do housework.

Now the writer ______.

The high school years are a key period. The things we learn during this time really shape our lives. Liu Changming, principal of Beijing No. 4 High School made 18 suggestions for students just starting high school on how to get the best out of high school. Here are ten of them.
1) Read 50 books. But choose them from ten different fields.
2) Help a person. Look for a classmate, an elderly person, in fact anyone who could benefit（获益）from your help. You’ll find you benefit too!
3) Research. Research a particular area, such as science, history or art.
4) Make a foreign friend. Try to befriend someone from a foreign country. It’s an ideal way to learn about a foreign country.
5) Publish（出版）an article. Whether it appears in a newspaper, your school magazine or in your own blog, an article will be something to look back on in pride in later years.
6) Take up a new sport. Choose one you’ve never played before. If you find you like it, you’ll have a hobby for life
7) Join a club. Working hard in a club or other activities will give you a life outside of your studies.
8) Find a part-time job. Try and do the job for at least a month.
9) Find a person to learn from. Choose someone with unusual experience or special talent. Try to learn all you can from him or her.
10) Learn to cook four Chinese dishes. Learning how to cook is not only a practical skill but a way of building a bridge to other people.

Beside learning a practical skill, another purpose of learning to cook is ______.

Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid（液态）water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.
The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion（万亿）kilometres －500 million times farther away from us than the moon.
A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.
At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water. It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes（望远镜）towards the planet and search for radiation（放射）. By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals（化学物质）around the planet and discover it Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly.
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.
What did scientists find in September 2010?

According to the article, Gliese 581g ________.

‘USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?’ We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

Title: Studying at     or abroad
Phenomenon（现象）	Studying abroad has become a   for Chinese students.
Advantages	◆ It is helpful to the future     of Chinese students.
◆ It helps to     foreign language skills.
◆ It enables Chinese students to find jobs more    .
	◆ It     Chinese students too much time to learn a foreign language.
◆ It’s hard for Chinese students to get used to the life abroad    parents’ care.
◆ Parents may be under pressure（压力）because the cost of studying abroad is very    .
Purpose: To tell us studying abroad is not the only way to be     by describing Liu Xiang’s example.

根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，完整写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）
You’re standing with your classmates. E   is talking except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at when you say. Maybe you just aren’t b  enough to speak.
Shyness is like a snake that crawls（爬进）into our mouth and s   us speaking. But we shouldn’t let it stay there.
I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes v me. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the
w   to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a j   in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers（顾客）. I had to tell them how m  
their meal cost. I had to ask them if they want to drink Coke or Sprite.
This job taught me how to speak with people.
You may be too young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other c   to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. O  you can go to get a newspaper for your family.
If you do these things for a while, the ‘shyness’ snake will soon begin to l   you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.

Welcome to the Amazing kids Website! Here you can read about clever children all over the world.

"I want it to be fun to read and easy enough for children to use," she says. Gina learned by observing （观察）her father, who's also good at cooking, in the kitchen.

Now he's an athlete who has recently completed a marathon. "After my accident I wanted to give up," he says. "But now I'm happy to be alive and able to continue running."
Helga has always been good at science, but she thought it was too difficult to become an inventor. Then she heard about an accident that had happened when a car hit a train in her town. "That gave me an idea," says the clever sixteen-year-old girl. It took her over a year to invent a special machine that tells car drivers when a train is coming.

A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn't seen for 22 years. She had a happy life until some kids asked, "Why don't you look like your mom?" Ida was sent to her adopted(收养) family in Sweden right after she was born.She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents.
During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider.
As she grew older, she accepted(接受)who she  was. Still, she
wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑). After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not much could be shared (分享) with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language. Being in Korea wasn't always easy for her.
Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it's worth visiting her birthplace because she finally realized how special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life.
Where was Ida born?

Why was she seen as an outsider in Sweden?

What does the phrase "apart from" in Paragraph 3 mean?

What can we learn from the passage?

Doctors Without Borders (国界)
Chris is not a traditional explorer— he usually works in an office for a large organization. However, Chris' job can be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.
Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders. Since 1971, MSF has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters (遭受灾难), such as wars and illnesses. Chris is a doctor from France who has traveled to many places to organize programs that help people.
At the moment,  over 27,000 trained doctors have taken part in MSF projects. The organization received the Nobel Peace _ Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF's work is in Africa. When MSF chooses a doctor for a task, they have to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency(紧急的) task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.
But why would doctors leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience they have is a great help in their life. What's more, just like the explorers of the past, they need to keep an open mind and learn to get on well with the people they meet One thing that they can say at the end of any task is that they have made a real difference to people's lives.
What may MSF's work be like?

A．Tiring and boring.	B．Exciting and dangerous.
C．Relaxing and colorful.	D．Peaceful and comfortable.

As a volunteer doctor for MSF, he or she should_.

Why would doctors like to join MSF?

What is the main idea of this passage?

D MSF offers medical help to people who have suffered from disasters.

_It has around 3 billion fans - nearly half the world’s population! And
about 300 million people play this game. That's 4 percent of the world' s population!
_Many people in old days played early forms of his modern game. Cu ju (蹴鞠） a ball-kicking game in China, was reported as early as 2500 B.C. Around the same time in Greece, people were also playing a similar ball game without using their hands.
But modern soccer didn't become official (官方的) until 1863. An Englishman called Cobb Morley introduced the idea of a soccer association (联盟). ____. From then on, other associations in the countries were set up. They came together-to make up the FIFA, which organizes the World Cup.
It's not easy to tell what makes soccer so popular. ___ Soccer needs only two feet and a ball. This makes it a sport that developing countries can easily play. Some of the sport's best players come from these poor nations.
_The sport's no-harids rule makes beautiful dance-like movements on the field. What's more, this sport excites the heart. Teams might score only a few times each match, so matches can turn around suddenly.
No one knows who will win at the next World Cup. But one thing is certain: The world will be watching.
