（A）
Kenneth Riggins and his daughter, Angelica, then 5 years old, had fallen asleep on the sofa in their house
when he was woken up around 2 a.m. by their dogs and the smell of smoke. He followed the smell to a small room
next to a back bedroom. “I opened the door, and the fire came in the doorway,” says Riggins, a high school teacher
and single dad. After pushing the door shut, he ran to the living room and woke up Angelica, shouting at her to get
out quickly.
Angelica, who had recently attended a fire demonstration (消防演习) at her school led by Sparkles the Fire
Safety Dog, knew exactly what to do. “The smoke was everywhere, so I crawled (爬) under it and out of the house,
just like Sparkles taught me,” Angelica says. “I was really afraid, but I moved as fast as I could.” She ran straight to
the home of a neighbor, who called 911. When the firefighters arrived a few minutes later, Angelica told them she
hadn’t seen her dad and that he might still be in the house.
She was right. After getting out, Riggins had returned to look for a friend’s 5-year-old girl who had been
staying with them. “I was unable to think clearly because of all the smoke and I forgot her mom had picked her up
earlier,” he says. Firefighters found Riggins unconscious (失去知觉的) in the living room. As they carried him out
of the front door, the back of the house blew up. It was later found out that some old electrical wiring had caused
the fire. Riggings spent the next week in the hospital with some burns, but he’s healthy now. “If Angelica hadn’t
run to our neighbours for help, I wouldn’t have made it.” Riggins says.
Since the fire, Angelica and her dad have moved to a home across the street from their old one.
26. What did Riggins do before waking up Angelica?

This is a tale of two friends --- one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But
together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China's Hebei Province into a rich,
green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!
Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness.
Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up.
They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and
Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over
10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding
during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities.
Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since
they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existingtrees. Haixiaclimbs to the tree-top
and with Wenqi's direction selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi
waters the area.
Though hard-working, the men don't make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the
fruits of our work taste sweeter.”
Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need --a perfect pair of
eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!
30. Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?
A. Haixia needed someone to help him.
B. They both needed a way to make money.
C. They wanted to improve the environment.

31. Haixia and Wenqi's forest has helped the village by_______.
A. stopping floods in the rainy season
B. increasing the number of tourists
C. making the villagers richer
D. providing more farmland
32. In paragraph 4, when Wenqi says “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means
that “_______”
A. they hope to make the forest even better
B. the fruits from their trees are very sweet
C. they are proud not to depend on others
D. they are able to do any difficult work
33. What can we learn from this story?
A. Never give up and you will succeed.
B. We should help the disabled to work.
C. Try your best when facing difficulties.
D. We can achieve more with teamwork.
（C）
The world may be a big place but when it comes to teenagers’ reading habits, the differences are quite small.
Recently young people from Japan, Brazil, China and England were asked questions about what, why and how
often they read. The study, done by London university, wanted to find out if there were any important differences
in teenagers’ reading habits.
In the study, 200 teenagers from each of the four countries were asked to make a list of what they read in a
week. They were asked to write down why they read on their lists. Finally the teenagers said how much time they
spent reading in a week.
Here is some of what was found out. On average (平均), teenagers read for 17.5 hours per week. Japanese
teenagers read for 18.5 hours per week, a little more than that from China (18 hours), Brazil (17 hours) and England
(16.5 hours). Teenagers mainly read for two different reasons: “for study” and “for fun”. In each country, they
spent 60% of their reading time “for study” and 40% “for fun”. Reading “for study” took so much of teenagers’
time as most of them are still at school.
The study also found what teenagers read was almost the same. Course books were the only thing they read
