On December 5th, 2013, Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, died at the age of 95.

He was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918.When he was a child, he worshiped(崇拜) national heroes very much. After he graduated from the university, he threw himself into the struggle(斗争) for anti-apartheid (反种族隔离制度). He was sentenced to life imprisonment(终身监禁) and was in prison(监狱) for 27 years. In 1994, Mandela became the first black president in the history of South Africa. In his life, he won nearly 100 awards. In 1993, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Mandela also paid close attention to AIDS. He established AIDS Foundation(艾滋病基金）named after him. As we all know that Africans love sports very much. In order to hold the 2010 World Cup, he also did his best, though he was very old and weak. The World Cup of South Africa began on June 11, 2010. This was not only a football match for Africans but something more. It was filled with his strong wish—peace and unity(团结). Mandela got the respect from all over the world. So South African people said, “Our nation has lost its greatest son, our people have lost a father.” Now, the birthday of Mandela, July 18th, became an international festival—the International Mandela Day.
Who was Nelson Mandela?

How old was he when he died?

What does “sentenced” mean in Chinese?                 

When is the International Mandela Day?

Which of the following is NOT true about the passage?

“Who needs a shopping mall if you have Taobao?” said Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.
Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site, has become an important part of Wang Lin’s life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang Lin have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young people. More women shop online than men. Clothing and home-used products (产品) are the most popular online.
It was reported that more than 250,000 million yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.
Taobao means “looking for treasure” in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.
You may worry about the safety of online shopping, Wang Lin said, “It’s very safe and convenient. Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the products.”
Taobao is______.

What products are the most popular online?

What does “treasure” mean in Chinese?                

In the last paragraph, the underlined word “them” refers to(指代) “______”.

Which is the best title of the passage?

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate(模仿) and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he is terrified to speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense(语感). This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English better in this way.
You can learn to swim by_______.

We should learn English by _______.

What will you do with mistakes when you speak?

What’s more important for senior school students?

Do you know what couch-potato means? Well, in America, the word is now often    . You see, in America, many people often spend their free time     on a couch (沙发) watching TV. As there are many channels to choose, the TV programs can be quite      and very addictive (使人上瘾的). One may sit and watch TV for hours and hours      stopping! Well, these people who do      all day except watching TV are called couch-potatoes.
In America, while watching TV, most people are always sitting with eyes still looking right into the TV set. Also because these people are addictive to watch TV, they don’t take      and usually get very fat. So in many ways, these people look like      potatoes! Well, because they look    , and watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes. Now you know what a couch-potato means. The next time if you see someone watching TV too long, just say, “What a couch-potato!”
