A
When I was younger, I wished for a Porsche and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes possible and took the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford that car and the dream house. All the way through junior year, my mind was planning this beautiful future.
Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at the age of 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, and on the same day, my beloved fourth-grade teacher. They left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.
After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me; life is not promised and neither is my future success. While I was going through the actions in an attempt to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I was just existing. It occurred to me that life has more purposes than acquiring possessions, which will only be yours until you can no longer keep up with the payments. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with you forever and that is real success.
Enjoying life’s precious changes makes a person more successful than a wealthy person who is not content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior year, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning information. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the blessings and successes that come with it.
I still make excellent grades, but now I dedicate weeks to studying instead of preparing for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. Success, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder（旁观者). For me, being successful means truly living life each day, being thankful, and affecting the world.

Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on the Internet. Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first.
The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile(简介) which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration fee to use their services.
Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code. Another advantage is that you can communicate by email before you meet in person. Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating. It is an excellent way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests.
Just as in conventional dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking to on the net may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, and so on, for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in（欺骗）, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time. Nevertheless（然而）, taking a few simple precautions （预防）should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun.
8.Which of the following is a must to make an Internet dating possible?
A．A photo. B．A profile. C．Registration fee. D．Business experience.
9. One advantage of Internet dating is that _______.
A．you can avoid a face-to-face meeting in the beginning
B．you’re sure to find a partner with the same interests
C．you’ll find absolutely reliable information of others
D．you’ll gain fame and money overnight
10.The underlined word "pitfalls" in Paragraph 4 most probably means________. A．rules B．trends C．problems D．skills
11. What is probably talked about following the last paragraph?
A．Conventional dating. B．Hidden advantages.
C．Safety measures. D．Romantic love.
D
It
was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching（烤焦） in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.
Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most
important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.
That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.
We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.
Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.
12. In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? A．1952 B．1962 C．1972 D．1982
13. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The heat B．The theater.
C．The Music Man D．The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
14. What do we know about Mr. Bellow?
A．He loved children very much. B．He was a fan of John Wayne.
C．He sold air conditioners. D．He was a movie star.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The author turned out to be a great singer.
B．The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.
C．The author’s life has been changed by t he two movies.
D．The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.

Recently I have noticed that you are addicted to smoking. Whenever you start smoking, the room is filled with a terrible smell. By no means should you go on with this addiction.
For one thing, smoking does great harm to you and your family, increasing the risk of cancer. In fact, second-hand smoker may suffer more than the smokers themselves. For another, smoking not only pollutes air, but also wastes money.
It is high time that you quitted smoking. To begin with, you should stay away from smoking triggers and always keep yourself busy. At the same time, you are supposed to develop more interests to distract yourself, but don’t expect to break the addiction right away. It is advisable to cut down on it gradually.
Giving up smoking is not as hard as you think. If you keep trying, you will succeed. Yours,
Li Hua
解析：
试题分析：书信是同学们比较熟悉的写作体裁，而且开头结尾已经给出，同学们只需用通顺的语言表述清所要求的要点即可。

首先在文章开头要提出写信的目的，即劝Mike戒烟。

根据提示信息，文章可以使用一般现在时，内容应该包括吸烟的危害和戒烟的方法两大主要内容。

在列举危害和戒烟的方法时要注意使用表顺序的连接词，比如first 、second、third 或者on the one hand 、on the other hand等，这样会使文章条理性更强。

此外，在遣词造句上，应多用一些高级词汇和高级句型，如定语从句、倒装结构、非谓语动词等，以提高文章的档次。

【亮点说明】在文章第一段作者提出自己反对Mike吸烟，然后第二段讲述吸烟的危害，第三段介绍戒烟的方法，最后鼓励Mike，希望他戒烟成功。

文章要点齐全，语言通顺，很好地完成了写作任务。

for one thing，for another thing，to begin with，at the same time 等短语的使用也使文章层次清晰，结构紧凑。

此外，文中出现的固定句型it is high time that…..,条件状语从句If you keep trying, you will succeed.，倒装句By no means should you go on with this addiction.等也使文章亮点纷呈。
