When I tell people I wrote a book with my dad, they usually say, "Wonderful."
This was a beautiful idea, but it was not the way I, or my dad, ever thought about the cooperation（合作）. Though we created something we are proud of, "Wonderful" is not the word either of us uses to describe the process. At first, my father disapproved（反对）of the cooperation and he thought it was more confrontation（对抗）than cooperation, I agreed.
When we landed a book deal, we began a wring journey that was more difficult than either of us had expected, but also far more rewarding.
For almost three years, we met once or twice a week at my parents' house and talked daily about the plan and the outline of each chapter. After the meeting, one of us would write a rough draft that the other would build on. I wanted the book to focus on positive vices（不
良习惯）: such as moderate（适度的）chocolate. However, my dad felt the book should include chapters dealing with things like walking and spending time with family Finally, I saw it his way. He said the book was about more than just good advice. It was about encouraging people to enjoy life in healthy ways.
Writing this book was a reminder that our family members share not only our faults but also our strengths. My dad is smart, funny, critical and caring. He has a strong passion for the truth. I hope I share these great qualities. For this book, he researched each topic with an enthusiasm I had never seen from him, and he insisted that we constantly question and critically analyze every piece of information—even our own conclusions. He was determined to cooperate with me on a book, not because he could not write one on his own, but because he believed that we could create something better together than we could alone.
I am not sure if our cooperation led to better writing, but it led to a better writing experience. （1）What does the author think of the writing experience with his father?
A.It was easy and positive.
B.It was hard but worthwhile.
C.It was interesting but hard.
D.It was funny and encouraging.
（2）What can we learn from the passage?
A.The author's father decided to write a book on his own.
B.The author's father stood in his son's shoes to write the book.
C.The author and his father once had different ideas when writing.
D.The author thought that his father's writing styles were out of fashion.
（3）Which of the following best describes the author's father?
A.Enthusiastic
B.Humorous
C.Confident
D.Unconcerned
（4）According to the text, what could be the purpose of writing this book together?
A.To show that my father is smart, critical and caring.
B.To show that writing a book is not an easy job.
C.To show that cooperation is of great significance.
D.To show that family members can share nice things.

Today's journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper—and its reporters—are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive.
A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina（UNC）, newsroom jobs across the Country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too.
Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn't daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don't print as many copies. And UNC's The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget.
Considering the problems in journalism, it's surprising that the enrollment（注册人数）in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. "But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has," he says.
But journalism educators wonder, "Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?" Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today's jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of
Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism.
The news isn't all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, "When I look at 18- and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I'm optimistic." Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism "comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information."
（1）What does the underlined word "bleak"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Hopeless
B.Interesting
eless
D.Encouraging
（2）How do some universities respond to today's journalism?
A.They reduce student enrollment.
B.They offer students specialized programs.
C.They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs.
D.They encourage students to run their own newspaper.
（3）Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To show people's positive attitudes to journalists.
B.To prove the potential of a career in journalism.
C.To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel.
D.To prove people's thirst for the latest news.
（4）What might be the best title for the text?
A.What is journalism?
B.What does a journalist do?
C.Does journalism have a future?
D.Are journalists still influential today?

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you're wrong—even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the
natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship as an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture（培养）.
（1）What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Easy Ways to Make Friends
B.Ups and Downs in Friendship
C.How to Mend a Troubled Friendship
D.How to Take the Lead in Making Friends
（2）The "wronged person" underlined in the passage refers to a person ________.
A.who has been mistaken for another
B.who has been blamed unfairly
C.who has treated friends badly
D.who has admitted his mistakes
（3）According to the passage, a friendship can be long only if ________.
A.we have much in common
B.we know our friends' mistakes
C.we treat our disagreements wisely
D.we have known one another her desires
（4）What should we do if we follow the author's second suggestion?
A.Make an apology first.
B.Avoid making mistakes.
C.Stick to our own points of view.
D.Change our lifestyles.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When there was news that a storm was coming, Sarah didn't think much about it. She simply shrugged it off like any other normal day. When she went to the grocery store and saw that it was full, she still didn't worry.
People ran like mad between aisles（过道）, grabbing what they could. Bare shelves and long lines made Sarah chuckle（窃笑）. They must be overreacting, she thought.
On her way home, she looked overhead. Dark clouds were indeed forming. And they seemed to be moving quickly across the sky. Still, Sarah was not bothered. The rain would be nice since it had been warm lately.
When she got home, Sarah made popcorn and sat on the sofa with her dog, Cooper, and got ready to watch a movie. Just as she hit play on the remote, she heard the thunder. Rain started to come down hard, making it almost impossible to see the trees in her front yard through the window. Cooper immediately jumped from the sofa, barking in fear in the corner.
"It's OK." Sarah said. She moved to one side and saw Cooper looked a bit nervous. Sarah turned off the movie and instead skipped to the local news station. The storm was much more serious than she had thought. People in a nearby city even said they spotted a tornado. The reporter advised people to stay inside and secure all of the doors and windows.
Sarah got up and began making her way around the house. Cooper followed close behind as she checked all of the windows to make sure they were all fully closed. By the time she got back to her sofa, the rain had stopped. "That wasn't so bad," Sarah said aloud. "Just a nice shower."
She turned to cooper, who had gone back to the corner and still looked a bit frightened. She looked outside. It was actually very calm, but she could see that the wind was picking up. The branches of the trees were swinging and the garbage bin had tipped over.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

Obviously, a storm was on its way. ______
Trapped at home, Sarah wondered how she could survive. ______

【答案】
Obviously, a storm was on its way. Sarah saw something like a gray funnel moving in the distance. Tornado! In a flash, with a burst of thunder, rain poured down once again, beating heavily against the windows. The wind was roaring and many trees were uprooted. The storm lasted days, which made Sarah increasingly nervous. Cold and hungry, she regretted she had made no preparations for the terrible weather!
Trapped at home, Sarah wondered how she could survive. Just then, she thought of the community helpline. She telephoned to state her difficulties. An hour later, Sarah heard a knock at the door and in came the community workers with food and necessities. She was really grateful for their timely help. It is the true kindness and love in the community that helped her survive the terrible weather.
