Meyer has been crazy about writing since she was young. She got her first lesson in story-telling from        grandfather, who gave her words of love. He set off her imagination and influenced her much. Meyer always had stories running        her head and as soon as she could write, she put them down on paper.
Meye            remembered the call that changed her life. It was Tuesday, February 18^th, when the           rang in the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. On the line was Marty Banderas, a literary agent (代理) to whom she had sent a copy of her novel three weeks earlier. She asked Meyer some        information, like age and health condition. Meyer felt        and asked what that was about. Banderas only replied, "I've just sold your          for one and a half million dollars!"
She sat down in shock. She had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been        by publishers(出版商). Many people would have been discouraged (气馁的),         not her. Each time, she just got down to writing another one. Her husband advised her to find something else to do, but she never         . Seeing this book published was the most        thing that has ever happened to her.
Now she is a         of three children, but she has never stopped         , turning out novels between kids and dishes. She is writing another novel now, and she expects another success. Yes, her belief (信仰) has brought her         , and it has changed her life        . Meyer is very confident that she will enjoy a more successful and meaningful life as long as she keeps on with her dream.

You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (节能) policemen?
A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning (空调) no cooler than 26 ℃.
"If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season," said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.
From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters. It means that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving the environmental problems every year.
To introduce a green life to the public, Beijing also held a show on energy-saving technology and productions last week. It attracted lots of attention.
"We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find right ways to do it in our daily lives," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.

The job of the energy-saving policemen is ___________.

Beijing will use ___________ million kilowatt-hours electricity in one summer.

Which of the following years' winters were all warm in China?

According to Liu Qianguang, ___________.

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.
Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.

What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb about ____________.

Which of the following is TRUE with apples?

The passage is mainly about___________.

Much has been said and written about heroes now, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.
Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another person’s life.
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day — our relatives, friends, and neighbours — who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero sets a good example, an example that encourages others to follow.
Joyner-Kersee hopes that young people ___________.

The underlined word “celebrities” in Paragraph 4 means ___________.

From the passage we know that ___________.

The best title for this passage is ___________.

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.

Title: How to make a      speech
Technique	Reasons	Requirements
Keep it simple	You should think about your idea well enough	one or two of your main ideas well.
If you have a      idea of what you want to say, your audience will have, too.
Organize it well.	You should get your speech well	Know very well about the  ,main points and ending of the speech
If you don’t, the     will be confused.
Keep it	Your speech should be short enough to attract your audience’s attention and     .	Make your speech as short as   .
If you don’t, the audience will feel     .

March 5^th is “Lei Feng Day”. It started fifty years ago. Now half a c    has passed. Is the spirit of Lei Feng outdated(过时的)?
Some people have shown us that it’s not. But people have a  changed the ways to help others.
Zhao Juan has been a volunteer for 15 years. She still remembers her e     at a nursing home several years ago. An old man held her hand and said: “You don’t need to do anything for us. Seeing young people here is all we need.”
Those words made Zhao Juan think: in what w     can we help people better? “Every person does something to give out positive energy(正能量). And before we give a helping hand, we should find out what they r     want,” Zhao Juan said to the Qilu Evening News.
As well as Zhao Juan, other people have shown their understanding of the spirit of Lei Feng.
This past January, a story called “noodle fever” shocked Zhengzhou, Henan. One kind man, Li Gang, 42, said in his story that he had a s     illness and needed a lot of money for an operation. H    ,what he asked for wasn’t charity, but for more people to come to eat noodles at his restaurant.
Li Gang’s story spread q    . Soon his restaurant was filled with customers every day and he was a     to have his operation on Feb. 2^nd this year.I     this way, people could help Li Gang without hurting his dignity(自尊).
