Dear Miss Li,
I’d like to thank you for sending money         “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped         it possible for me to have “Lucky”. My life        pleasure because of him now. Let me tell you my story.
Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands         is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, things like answering the telephone, opening and       doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to              . She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see          it would be possible for me to get a trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.
       six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to   9    himhome. My dog’s name is “Lucky” – a good name for him         I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!
          , you might ask? Well, he has been trained to                 different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult         like “upstairs”.
Lucky is an         dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation        and the money is well used to help disabled people like me.
Best wishes,
Liz Smith

Before Christmas Mr Smith broke his right leg and had to stay in hospital. When he was there, he always asked his doctor when he could go home. He didn’t like to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, Mr  Smith didn’t get better. So on Christmas Day he was still in hospital. He spent a bad day in bed thinking that he missed a lot of fun on such a happy day.
The next day the doctor told him that he might be well enough to leave hospital in time for the New Year. Mr  Smith was very happy to think that he would spend New Year’s Day outside hospital. Soon Mr  Smith left hospital and on New Year’s Eve he went to a party. He enjoyed himself there. But he drank too much. On his way home that night, he had a fall and broke his left leg. What a unlucky man he was！

Sometimes the easiest way to get somewhere is on the back of a bike.
More and more people are using cars in many places in Africa today. However, things are different in Malawi(马拉维). Bikes are the most popular in this African country.
Bike riding is a way of life in Malawi. People use them to carry heavy things. They also use bikes to carry people, especially tourists. These years, taking a “ bicycle taxi” to travel around Malawi has become quite popular among tourists from all over the world.
If you go to Malawi, you will find a lot of bike taxis waiting on the sides of the roads. The riders make the bikes comfortable for passengers to sit on. You can jump on a bike taxi and get around at a very low cost.
Alice is a 21-year-old student from Canada. She enjoys the special bike riding a lot. “I really like the bike taxi,” she says. “It’s easy and cheap.” Alice usually pays just $1 for going shopping in town.
28-year-old Panjira Khombe began to ride a bike taxi two years ago. The young man enjoys this job. “I used to make boats for a living, but that’s a hard job. Being a bike taxi rider is easy for me and I don’t mind carrying heavy people,” he says.
In Malawi ________ are the most popular way for people to get somewhere.

From the passage we can learn Panjira Khombe thinks that________.

Which of the following is True?

The best title of the passage may be “________”.

What do you do in a situation like this? You’re calling dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You’re having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about problems he’s having with his girlfriend. He talks for almost ten minutes! This happens all the time－on buses, in restaurants, everywhere!
Many people find cell phones useful in their daily lives. But we’ve all sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of those noisy customers. You can only control your own behavior. Here are a few rules:
Off means off! Follow the rules of restaurants and other public places. If a sign says “turn off cell phones”, don’t use your phone. If you are allowed, speak softly and for a short time and try to move away from other people.
Lights off, phone off! Never make calls in a theater or at the movies.
Pay attention! Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you’re going when you’re walking down the streets and talking on the phone.
As more people use cell phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you’re getting ready to make a call, stop and consider（考虑） the people around you.
The man talking on the cell phone loudly in the restaurant will ________.

Some people use cell phones in a rude way because____________.

According to the passage, we shouldn’t make calls ___________.

From the passage we can infer(推断）that __________.

Jan Hargrave is a body language expert in America. I was very pleased to hear Jan Hargrave speak the other day. She explained that although our mouths may lie(撒谎), our bodies do not. For the most part, we all have the ability to tell when people are lying to us by reading their tone of voice and body signals.
It was Professor Albert Mehrabian who discovered that we express our feelings and attitudes（态度）with 55 percent body languages, 38 percent tone of voice and only 7 percent actual words. In other words, if I asked you how you were doing and you said “fine”, that word wouldn’t mean anything by itself. It would be your body signals and how you said it that would let me know how you were really doing.
So, can you tell when people are lying to you? Jan Hargrave says we lie with the right side of your brains, so it is our left hand that tips us off.  A person touching his nose, pulling at his ear or rubbing his eye with his left hand might be lying to you. Also, a person who, in a way crosses fingers might just be lying.
Here are some things we do to shut people out. We continually look at our watch. We fail to make eye contact. We fail to look up from the paper or away from the TV. Our body is leaning away from them.
By paying attention, we can open these important lines of communication and see the truth more clearly. I think it would be a mistake to use these tools to control or lie to people, but we need to realize the signals we are giving, so we can show people that they really do matter to us.
Which tells us the most truth by Professor Albert?

What does the underlined sentence “it is our left hand that tips us off” in the third paragraph mean?

Which of the following do we do to shut people out, according to the fourth paragraph?
a. look at our watch continually
b. fail to look up from the TV
c. stare at people for a long time
d. lean away from people

One day the employees（雇员）of a large company returned from their lunch b        and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said, “Yesterday the person who has been stopping your growth in this company p away. We invite you to join the funeral(葬礼) that has been p   in the gym(体育馆).”
At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their workmates had died, but after a while they started getting c   about who this person might be. The excitement grew a   the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered, “Who is this person that was stopping my progress? Well, at least he’s no longer here!”
