Two good friends, Sam and Jason, met a car accident on their way home one snowy night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor, Mr. Lee, was standing by his bed, looking at him worriedly. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “not bad, Doctor. Thank you very much for doing the special operation(手术).” Mr. Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said,” Please don’t tell Jason about it.” Well… Well… OK,” Mr. Lee replied.
Months later when Jason’s wounds healed(愈合), Sam was still very sick. He couldn’t see or walk. He could do nothing but stay in his wheelchair all day long. At first, Jason stayed with him for a few days. But days later, Jason thought it boring to spend time with a disabled man like Sam. So he went to see Sam less and less. He made new friends. From then on, he didn’t go to visit Sam any more. Sam didn’t have any family or friends except Jason. He felt very sad.
Things went on from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Jason came, Mr. Lee gave him a letter from Sam. In the letter Sam said, “ Dear Jason, I am disabled. But I want you to be a healthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as healthy and happy as usual. I’m glad you live a happy life. You are always my best friend…Sam.” When he finished reading the letter, Mr. Lee said, “ I have promised that I will keep this a secret until Sam is gone. Now you know it.”

Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish.
The lake water is polluted (污染的). It is in a color of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
How does this happen? First we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog so the rain water was clean.
Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals (化学品) in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects (昆虫). There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rain water picks up all the chemicals from homes and businesses and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.
Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas (油和汽)  from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn't use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people's lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.
In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ______.

Chemicals from homes and businesses ______.

Cleaner rainwater will mean ______.

To save Lake Ponkapog, people need to ______.

The passage is about ______.

Mark majors in math in a university. He wants to be a math teacher.
Lisa’s birthday is coming. Her mother is going to buy a second-hand MP3 player for her.

E. I am interested in movies and swimming. I’m from England. I like making friends. If you
have the same interests as me. Please contact me.
F. A second-hand MP3 player is for sale. It’s only be used for two weeks. It’s as nice as a new one. If you’re interested in it, Call my office number at 886-3452. I’ll not be home until 11 pm every day.

In my free time, I paint designs on T-shirts. I got the idea two years      for my
 birthday present. The shop wanted $ 20 for a special design   a T-shirt, so I decided to do it    . I bought a white cotton T-shirt       $6 and some paints, and I painted a lion on the front. My brother loved it!
Painting T-shirts is great fun. You    be a great artist, you can just paint shapes and lines. The T-shirts are the     expensive part of my hobby. Also you have to use special fabric paints and you need to buy good quality brushes.
I love my hobby      I can make T-shirts that no-one else has. I give a lot of them away
 presents to my family and friends. Sometimes, I sell them. Since I started, I’ve made about 60 T-shirts and  one is different.
