I'm busy," he said He was chatting online and, at the same time playing a computer game: a war game. I was surprised.
Why didn't Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek, but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction I was unhappy. I put my hand in front of the monitor and he shouted, "Leave me alone." I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people, especially Steve.I wouldn't want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves. Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.
To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

18、Long ago, a wolf called Howler lived in a valley where lots of fruit trees grew. He often tried to climb up the trees to eat the fruit, but couldn't reach.
In the valley, an old man named Martin also had a few fruit trees that he looked after very well. But as he was getting older, he noticed that he didn’t have the strength to pick the fruit.
Martin had the most beautiful fruit trees in the valley, which was why Howler had his eye on them. One day he decided to steal the fruit and started jumping up and down the tree.
Martin looked out of the window and realized that the wolf was trying to steal fruit from his beautiful trees. Howler jumped and jumped, but he couldn’t reach even the lowest branches of such a big tree.
Seeing this, Martin had a great idea: he offered Howler a ladder to climb up, but in return the wolf would have to give him half of the fruit. Howler accepted the deal and began to collect the fruit. For the whole morning, he went up and down the ladder filling his basket with the fruit.
Howler soon realized that he could eat all the fruit if he didn’t give Martin some. He thought up a new and secret plan. Martin, on the other hand, trusted Howler and even began to think they would be friends forever.
But the wolf stole the ladder and went off to other trees in the area for more fruit.
Realizing that the ladder was missing, Martin went looking for it. Martin felt very disappointed at the trick and no longer trusted Howler. Though he wasn’t angry with the wolf and they became friends again, he never made any more deals with him.
At last, Howler learned that he shouldn’t trick people and he should keep promises. He also learned that if he had been honest and not greedy, he would still have been able to enjoy more delicious fruit.
1．Which is NOT true about Martin?
A．He had the most beautiful fruit trees in the valley.
B．He was looking for a friend to help him pick the fruit.
C．He took good care of the plants.
D．He was too old to pick the fruit.
2．What was their deal?
A．The wolf would pick all the fruit in the valley with the ladder.
B．Martin would give all his fruit to the wolf if the wolf picked the fruit.
C．The wolf would give all the fruit he picked to Martin.
D．The wolf would give Martin half of the fruit he picked with the ladder.
3．The underlined word “it”(in Paragraph 7) refers to .
A．the fruit B．the big tree C．the basket D．the ladder
4．How did the wolf break the deal?
A．He stole the ladder for more fruit in the area. B．He made a new ladder himself. C．He ran away because of the hard work. D．He stayed in the trees and ate all the fruit. 5．It can be inferred from the story that .
A．making a deal is very important B．we should trust others
C．we should keep promises D．wolves are always bad

19、At present, a number of middle school students have picked up a bad habit-cheating in examinations.
There are three main reasons. First, schools have given students too many exams, some of which are too difficult. Second, some students are not hard-working and they don't work hard at their lessons. Third, they waste a lot of time playing games or surfing the Internet. So they haven't enough time to prepare for the exams. Finally, students have to do so to make their teachers and parents happy.
In my opinion, cheating in exams does great harm to our study. We students should be honest and diligent, and only in this way can we improve our study and make progress. Besides, our teachers should offer us fewer exams and more time to study for ourselves.。
