When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting
cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 16 memories. And
receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands
could 17 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much
I was 1 8 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my
19 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I 20 going to the post office. Years
later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years

At sunrise we 22 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the

We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed
hard to believe, 26 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one
postcard out and asked my friends to write 27 a birthday note. We bought a stamp,
wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
Three weeks later, I arrived home and 28 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke
into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had
29 the post office all these years. Today I 30 send postcards to friends. And every

different country and doing unusual jobs. There are several organizations. They help
students to find the experience they are looking for. The table below shows a few

elephants as animals in zoos. In fact, many elephants in Thailand are no longer kept
in cages. Now, hundreds of them are homeless. They don’t have owners to care for
them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don’t have
enough to eat.
One centre in Thailand cares for these elephants. It gives them a safe and
natural living space. When they are at the centre, they stay in a building but are
free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help here. The
student helpers work with the elephant keepers. These keepers train the students in
caring for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the
elephants to the centre. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they
take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is
interesting and the young people learn a lot.

bottles.

“Supported by the government, the reverse vending machines will be introduced to
colleges and universities soon,” Feng said.
The company is also considering covering more recycling materials, including used
books and teaching materials.
“Long-term plans call for about 2,000 reverse vending machines to be place
throughout the city in the next few years, including 80 at colleges and universities,
shopping malls, communities and office buildings,” Feng said.
Chang Tao, director of the company, said that if the new project works well in the
city, the company will consider offering the waste-to-treasure service to other developed
cities in the eastern part of China.

5Arthur sat at the desk in his room, pencil in hand. He had to write a story for his
English class by Friday. “I don’t know what to write about,” he complained to his dog
Toby, who was asleep at his feet. Arthur was talkative when speaking to his friends, yet
he had trouble finding words when he had to write.
By bedtime Arthur had drawn a picture of Toby
smiling. He had drawn a tree with its branches blowing in
the strong wind. He had also written a note asking his
friend Lee to go to the movies on Saturday. But he had
not written a single word of his story.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Solomon, Arthur’s English
teacher, asked the class to turn in the first draft of their
stories. His heart sinking, Arthur turned in the only work
he had—the page with his name, the drawings and the
note.
Arthur wasn’t surprised when Mrs. Solomon asked him to stay after class the next
day. But he was surprised by what she said to him. “This is an attractive story, Arthur.
The dog, the movie, the tree in the wind—I can’t wait to find out how they all fit
together.”
“That isn’t my story, Mrs. Solomon,” Arthur admitted. “I haven’t been able to think
of one yet.”
“Oh, I think you have the seed( 种子 of a story there ,” Mrs. Solomon replied,
“Look at your note and the pictures and see if a story comes to you.”
That night Arthur sat at his desk, and this is what he wrote: “One Saturday Mike
went downstairs to meet his friend Julio at the cinema. It looked as if it might rain, so
Mike carried his umbrella. Suddenly a big storm blew in, bending the trees. The noise of
the wind sounded like the barking of Mike’s dog Toby. Toby really hated storms and
barked whenever he wanted to be let inside. Then Mike realized that it wasn’t the sound
of the wind. It was Toby. The dog was running after him down the busy street, barking.
The sound was filled with blame. Mike felt guilty because he had left Toby outside. He
turned and headed home with Toby running beside him. Mike let Toby in the door just
as the rain started to pour down.”
Arthur had a story in the end. The last thing he did was to write his name proudly
at the top of the page.
42. Why did Arthur turn in the page with only his name, the drawings and the note
at first?
A. Because he had no time to fit them together.
B. Because he had difficulty in writing a story.
C. Because he wasn’t willing to do his homework.
D. Because he wanted to show his talent for drawing.
43. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Toby is an imaginative and lovely dog.
B. The small tree will grow into a big one.
[来源:Z.xx.k.Com]
C. His friend Lee can give him a lot of support.
D. He can develop his story based on the first draft.
644. What kind of teacher do you think Mrs. Solomon is ?
A. She is a strict teacher B. She is a wise teacher
C. She is an honest teacher D. She is an energetic teacher
45. What can we infer(推断from the story?
A. Arthur is a shy and quiet student B. Arthur isn’t very satisfied with
his story
C. There will be a storm on Saturday D. Encouragement is important in
teaching

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article
will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for
about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school,
they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their
outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan(租借)
than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a
yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents
drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at
school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state
driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English
and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In
some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes:
health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different
classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There
is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their
next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than
half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-
especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech,
school newspaper, photograph or student government.

We all know that the rabbit lost the first race against the tortoise. After that the rabbit decided
to have a second race. This time he didn’t sleep and won because he was good at running.
However, the tortoise didn’t give up. He had a third race with the rabbit. There was a river on
the way. The tortoise swam across it quickly and won. The story does not end here. In the last
race they took turns to put each on the back and reached the finishing point together. From
the story I have learned that with teamwork all of us can achieve success.
