Lang Lang is a world-class young pianist who grew up in Shenyang. He went to a piano school in Beijing when he was just eight, "You need fortune(运气)，" his father said. "But      you work hard, no fortune will come."
What made him       was that his piano teacher in Beijing didn't like him. "You have no talent(天赋).You will never be a pianist." As an eight-year-old boy, Lang Lang was badly       . He decided that he didn't want to be a pianist any more. For the next two weeks, he didn't touch the piano. Wisely(明智的)his father didn't      ,but wait.
Luckily the day came when his teacher asked him to play some holiday songs. He didn't want to, but as he placed his fingers on the piano keys, he        he could show other people that he had ability to do it well. That day he told his father that he wanted to      with a new teacher. From that point on, everything turned around.
He started         competitions. In the 1994 International Young Pianists Competition when it was announced that Lang Lang had won, he was too        to hold back his tears. Soon it was clear that he couldn't stay in China forever-he had to play on the world's big stages. In 1997 Lang Lang       again, this time to Philadelphia, US. There he spent two years practicing and by 1999 he had worked hard enough for fortune to take over．After his      performance at Chicago's Raviniu Festival, gigs（演奏会）in Lincoln Center and Camegie Hall started pouring in. Lang Lang finally worked to reach the place where fortune spots(找到)him, and lets him shine.

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12,a white gardenia（栀子花）was sent to my house. No card came with it．Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be, Some of my happiest moments were  spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked afier when he was ill. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.
One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the  coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.
My mother died ten days after l was married.1 was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.
Which statement is true according to the passage?

The mother let her daughter go to the graduation dance because_______.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

What correct information can you get from the passage?

Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为...承担责任） serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener than by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms." They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份)． And best of all, it's free.
Which of following does the author most probably support according to the passage?

What does the phrase "resource-hungry" in this passage mean in Chinese?

The author uses power walking as an example mainly because

The author writes the passage to_______.

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane, The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(房)into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.
Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifiy churches, among them new St Paul's.
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.
The fire began in_______.

The underlined word "family" in the second paragraph means_______.

It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that ________.

Why did writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?

How was the fire put out according to the test?

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, you can improve it if you are patient. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take action. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends staying home a      .
Joining a club or a group, talking to those who like the same things as you do is much e     . Or join someone in some activities.
Many people are n    when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means seeing  the unknown. And it's human nature to feel a bit unpleasant about the unknown. Most of fears about d     . with new people come from doubts(怀疑) about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us-finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the s     way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to make others feel at home.  You'll all feel more c     .
Try to be brave even if you don't feel that way when you e   a room full of strangers. Walk  tall and straight, look d    at other people and smile.
If you see someone you'd like to speak to, say something. Don't w     for the other person to start a conversation(对话).
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you'll make friends with that person. Friendship is based on mutual(相互的)likings and“give and take”．It takes time and effort(精力)for us to d    friendship. And there are things that stop a new friendship from growing.
