Your Local Caff (小餐馆)
Remember when cafés served full English breakfasts—sausages, beans, fried bread, bacon and eggs—with a strong cup of tea? Well, this place still does and you can have your breakfast at any time you like during the day while you listen to your favourite tunes from the 1980s.

A crew（全体成员）of six teenage girls completed a nine-day sailing trip in the US recently, after having seasickness and strong winds.
For the past three years, the Sea Cadet teenagers whoset sail were all male. Roger Noakes, who captained（担任队长）the boat, said this was the first time he’d taken out an all-female crew.
The girls asked for an all-girls trip in August this year. The crew set sail along with three adults, Noakes and two Sea Cadet representatives. The original plan was for the girls to sail 24 hours a day in rotating shifts（轮流换班）along the coast and then return. Things turned out differently, however. “The first night was difficult because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down,” said Abby Fairchild,16. “Everybody got seasick.” Noakes gave the girls the choice of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water. “But they decided they were going.”
The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts. “We’ve learned everything from controlling the boat to putting up the sails while we have rough seas,” said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.
The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts. They didn’t make it to their original destination（目的地）in Maine, where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner, due to the weather and winds. They said they weren’t disappointed, however, as they’d learned a lot. “They learned about boating, and above all, they built confidence and character,” said Noakes.
4. What was special about the Sea Cadet trip this year?
A. It was the longest sailing trip ever.
B. It was the first all-female-crew sailing trip.
C. It was the most dangerous sailing trip ever.
D. It was the first sailing trip for teenagers.
5. What happened on the crew’s first day of the trip?
A. They all felt sick on the boat.
B. Some of them were hurt.
C. Their boat was out of control.
D. They went into open water by mistake.
6. Which of the following best describes these young sailors?
A. Strong-minded and having a strong sense of teamwork.
B. Hard-working and having great leadership skills.
C. Understanding and creative.
D. Adventurous and skillful.
7. According to Noakes, what was the sailors’ greatest benefit from the trip?
A. They knew the sea better.
B. They made many friends.
C. They got excellent sailing skills.
D. They developed good personalities.
C
As I work in theLarkwhistle Garden in Dyer's Bay, Ontario, I take my time and the garden is teaching me about working with the earth. I recognize that there will be both successes and failures and there are many variables(变量)that affect them both.
The quality of the seeds planted has a bearing on how the plants will grow. The weather can be too hot, too cold, or exactly right, and usually varies between all three. Weeds seem to grow in the garden and need to be taken care of, pulled, and removed to ensure they do not eat into the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we have so lovingly planted.
I take time to stand back and rest, and to observe the plants and how they are growing. Each plant is unique and develops in the way that is best for them. Some have large broad leaves to shadow their fruit from the severe rays of the sun, while other plants are more open, their fruit needing the light to grow and ripen.
Getting my hands dirty, feeling the sweat on my forehead, and the strength and flexibility of my body as I dig, bend and work under the warm summer sun, reminds me I am alive in ways I would not have remembered sitting on the couch.
It is attractive to move things around, to transplant, and to disturb the natural order of how plants grow. The garden teaches me that it is important to know when to disturb things and when to let them be. The garden's life cycle follows a pattern that is repeated according to laws of nature, birth, growth, and then dies and it teaches us to accept this fact.
8. How many variables may affect the growth of plants in the garden?
A. Two.
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
9. What can we learn about the author?
A. He feels exhausted while gardening.
B. He enjoys life from working practice.
C. He takes pleasure in harvesting fruits.
D. He dreams away his time in the garden.
10. How is the garden tended by the author?
A. Its rank grass is got rid of.
B. Its plants are left to grow freely.
C. Its temperature is controlled properly.
D. Its plants with large broad leaves are cut off.
11. What fact does the author learn from gardening?
A. Life takes its course.
B. Hard work benefits health.
C. Time is short and precious.
D. Gardening brings good harvest.

It’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.
Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.
“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.
Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.
After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health
inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.
12. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. instant passion.
B. continuous efforts.
C. great patience.
D. selfless ambitions.
13. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?
A. Sad and disappointed.
B. Stressed and defeated.
C. Determined and confident.
D. Joyous and contented.
14. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?
A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.
B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.
C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.
D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. From Homeless to Yale
B. Meet American’s Top Girl
C. Disabled but not Defeated
D. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many Talents

It was an evening just like any other in the Miller family apartment. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were tired from working all day and the children were busy playing on tablets (平板电脑).
“Mum, can you play a game with me now?” said Amy, "Dad, do you want to play battleships?” asked Ben.
Suddenly, the lights went off. The apartment went completely dark. "Oh no! We have lost all our electricity," cried Mr. Miller. "There must be a power cut in the city, " said Mrs. Miller.
"Is everybody okay?” asked Mr. Miller. "Yes, I'm okay," said Amy. "Wow!
It's so dark in here," said Ben. "I've never seen our house like this before."
Mr. Miller picked up his torch (手电筒) and turned it on. But there was only a small beam of light.
"Oh no!” complained Mr. Miller. "The batteries in this torch are not very good. I don't know how long this torchlight will last. " The Miller family looked out of their apartment window. Mrs. Miller pointed at the sky. "Look at all the stars. " “Wow! I can see so many," said Ben.
Then Mrs. Miller wiped her forehead. "I'm feeling very hot," she said. "So am I," said Amy. "Who turned the heater on?”Mr. Miller frowned. “The heater is not on. The machine that keeps us cool has stopped working," Mrs Miller answered. Oh no! The fridge is not working either and all the food will be ruined," she cried. And what about the freezer?” asked Ben. "The ice cream cake for Grandma is in there. It's a special treat for her.”
“That's a big problem, said Amy. "The ice cream cake will melt if it gets warm.”
Just then, the torch went out. "And now we have an even bigger problem," said Mr. Miller. "Oh dear! What do we do now?” Mrs. Miller asked. Amy saw her tablet glowing (发出暗淡的光) in the corner of the room. "I have an idea," she said.
