One day I was full of anxiety to do some      for an important oral exam in the local library, but people kept    me. I was getting annoyed and of course, I wasn’t able to      . Suddenly I heard someone singing behind me. I       and glared at the person who was singing. It was a tall girl about the same age as me.
The fact that she looked like a sensitive, friendly girl didn’t matter. If anything, it made me even angrier. “How could she be so selfish?” I thought      .
I picked up my books, glared at her and whispered coldly, “Thanks to your      , I’ve been unable to study. You’re so      !”
I left the library in such a hurry that I left the most important textbook      . when I got home two hours later, I found that textbook gone. I was so       that I almost cried. Just then, the phone rang，a gentle voice      the speaker as Jenny and asked if I was Jane. After       that I was, she said that she had noticed I’d left my book in the library and as my       was in it, she’d asked a librarian to get my phone number f. She said that she didn’t live far away and could bring it around for me if I needed it.
I sighed with          and agreed to meet her at the convenience store down the road. Of course you’ve       who Jenny was. She was the girl I had shouted at for singing in the library.

Ever since then we’ve been best friends and we got along really well. To be honest, I trust her more than any one else. I often think how       I am. If Jenny hadn’t been a kind person who was willing to      my shortcomings, I would      have experienced such true friendship.

Thank you for your card. I’m glad you’re having a good time, but I’m not surprised. Washington D.C. is wonderful at this time of year.
I would like you to come to my place and meet my people at the end of your journey. You can’t leave America without visiting New York. My brother’s hobby, as you know, is taking pictures. He has a big album(相册)of pictures of the United States and of New York. I’m sending some of them to you. When you look at them you’ll understand why New York is a city of islands. In fact it lies on three big islands: Manhattan, Staten Island and Long Island. There are many small islands in the city.
The most expensive part of New York is Manhattan. This island is famous for its skyscrapers(摩天大楼).Broadway is a famous street in New York. It is known for its theatres and you can see wonderful shows there.
There are many museums and art galleries(画廊)in New York. Pupils often visit museums and have their art classes there. School children often visit the Bronx Zoo. It is the largest of the New York City zoos. It opened in 1899 and since then has always been a favorite place for animal lovers and children.
In 1789, New York became the first capital of the United States of America but it remained the capital for only one year. Now, as I’m sure you know, Washington, D.C. is the capital of the country.
The underlined word “them” in Para.2refers to__________.

From the passage we know that___________.

We can infer that the text is probably_________.

The writer writes this passage to _________.
A. persuade his friend to visit New York
B. introduce Washington D.C. in America
C. describe three islands in New York
D. show his brother’s album

Some people may say a hero is someone older than you, someone you personally know, someone who has done something everyone knows about, etc. I don’t think a hero necessarily has to be an older person or a close friend or a family member. My hero is younger than me, but we are related. His name is Marcus. He is my cousin. He isn’t necessarily a wise person or someone who does something great every day, but he has taught me to appreciate some of the simple things in life.
I am now in 11th grade. When I was in 8th grade, Marcus had a brain tumor (脑瘤) which had to be removed. Thankfully the tumor was benign (良性的). When the doctors removed it Marcus lost his sight. He felt down only once. Ever since then, he has been an extremely happy second-grader. He is very typical of a nine-year-old. He likes to tell jokes, play new games, and he likes to play tricks on people, just like children at his age. I love spending time with him. We go to movies whenever there is a good one and look after him every chance I get.
I say that Marcus helps to appreciate the simple thing in life. He doesn’t have his sight and that causes me to realize how lucky I am to be able to see, to walk, and to talk. I can do everything I need to. If everyone could see how happy and satisfied Marcus is and how much he makes everyone around him happy, then they might just be able to better appreciate the simple things in life.
It can be inferred that the author has_________.

Why does the author consider his cousin as a hero?

What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

What makes the author think himself lucky?

Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months begin to settle in, I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1. 000 years, that makes it a Chinese food favorite. But it seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.
Hot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experience. It's a "theater” cuisine that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot pot.
Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often, considered an evening's entertainment, and time to spend with friends and family. However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own individual portions （份额）, although the experience is still a social one.
A similar experience to the hot pot one can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.
For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is bizarre（古怪的）. But having given hot pot a time, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this is also part of the experience. When the chilly （刺骨的） wind is blowing outside, just grab some chopsticks, some good friends, and dig in. For me it's like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds（味蕾）and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.
According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because ________.

We can conclude from the article that generally British people _______.

What is the tone of the article?

How to Find Yourself
Do you often feel lost？Do you think you are living somebody else’s life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.
_______________
If you are thinking, “how to find yourself when you are lost?”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of over work? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.
_______________
For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn’t have any family obligations or any money issues. Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didn’t have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving, or realistic? Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.
_______________
Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.
_______________
Knowing yourself and determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it’s important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it, you will find yourself.
_______________
Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. At the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everything will be fine.
It is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know.

I still remember how nervously I was on my first day in the new school three years before,when I found them difficult to follow my teacher in the first English class. The teacher spoke English throughout the class, that was totally different from the lessons I had taken before.
