Derrius Quarles, 19, had an unhappy childhood. But the Chicago teen didn’t give up. He tried his best and won＄1 million in college scholarship(奖学金). Now Derrius is a successful student with a bright future.
When Derrius was 4, his father was killed. His mother couldn’t take care of him because of taking drugs. Derrius and his 9-year-old brother sometimes had to steal food to eat. Derrius felt different from other kids. In seventh grade, Derrius went to live in a foster home(寄养家庭). His foster parents were nice to him. They told him that he’d never be anything in life.
Derrius didn’t do his best in school. The summer after ninth, that changed. Derrius had signed up for a biology class. He didn’t go to class the first day. On the second day, he showed up late. His teacher took him outside. She told him he was smart, but that he was wasting his potential. The talk inspired him and he planned to prove that he could be anything if he worked hard enough.
Adults at a summer program helped Derrius find out about scholarship he could earn to pay for college. In his senior year, Derrius filled out lots of applications. He told his friends, “You are not going to see me for a long time.” Derrius’s hard work paid off. He won more than ＄1 million in scholarships! He has a lot to be proud of. But he’s most proud of helping others. Derrius gives speeches to teens, telling them how to find scholarships. In high school, Derrius got help buying a computer. He wanted to help who needed them. Last year, he gave two laptops to high school students. There is a lot work in his future. Derrius doesn’t mind—hard work has got him where he is today. He knows it can take him anywhere.

Most people consider skydiving(高空跳伞) a product of the 20th century, but its history actually goes further back than that. The Chinese attempted to parachute(跳伞) in the 10th century, a thousand years before we did. The Chinese did what we would today call base diving; that is, they jumped off a place that would allow them to float from a height to the ground.
The first person to attempt to parachute was a Frenchman named Jacques Garnerin. He jumped from his hot-air balloon at the end of the 18th century and did tricks on the way down and stupefied the crowds by landing safely on the ground. At the end of the 18th century, Kathie Paulus, a brave German woman, became famous for her skydiving skills.
Once the airplane was invented, skydiving took on a whole new form. The airplane made it possible to dive from greater heights at greater speeds, allowing for more range in the movements in the air. A woman named Tiny Broadwick became the first woman to jump from a plane in 1914.
Skydiving was not called skydiving until the middle of the 1950s, when Ronald Young invented the word. It has been called parachuting before this and was mainly used by the military to land troops in inland locations, or for pilots to jump out of their planes when necessary. Once World War One was over, parachuting became a sport, which we now call skydiving.
After World War Two, this activity became more a hobby than a military action. Soldiers
were trained in parachuting and enjoyed the thrill so much that they continued on for fun. From this, teams and competitions were formed. Skydiving schools appeared in the late 1950s and now it is a recognized extreme sport（极限运动）enjoyed by many.
60. The underlined word “stupefied” in Paragraph 2 probably means“________”.
A. disappointed.
B. surprised.
C. encouraged.
D. attacked
61. Who was the first woman to jump from a plane?
A. Jacques Garnerin
B. Kathie Paulus
C. Tiny Broadwick
D. Ronald Young
62. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The Chinese attempted different skydiving skills in the 10th century.
B. Skydiving became popular after the airplane was invented.
C. The word skydiving was first used in a military action.
D. There were no skydiving schools until the late 1950s.
63. What would be the best title for this text?
A. The history of skydiving.
B. The popularity of skydiving.
C. What is skydiving.
D. Why is skydiving an extreme sport?
C
Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and
fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
64. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
A. depend on one sense in choosing food.
B. are not satisfied with their food.
C. choose food in similar ways.
D. eat entirely different food.
65. Which of the following eats only one type of food?
A. The white butterfly.
B. The small bird.
C. The bear.
D. The fox.
66. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.
A. the food color changes.
B. the season changes.
C. they move to different places.
D. they are attracted by different smells.
67. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
A. food is chosen for a good reason.
B. French and British food is good.
C. some people have few choices of food.
D. some people care little about healthy diet.
D
Is there something that you’ve always wanted to try but just never had the time？Well，make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation. Not all vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks. Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.
The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are endless. If you enjoy cooking，various companies can take you to Italy，France，Spain，Mexico or even Peru. Once there，you can learn to prepare the local cuisine(烹饪)．Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals or special events.
The term “learning vacation”often brings language to mind. The best way to learn a language is in an environment where it’ s spoken. Study Spanish，French or English. Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish，Estonian or Thai. You’ll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.
If you are fond of sports，you can polish your skills or learn new ones. Golf and tennis schools welcome players of all levels. If you want a bigger thrill，you can learn to surf，go climbing or race cars. It’ s even possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!
You can also discover our inner artist. Many places offer painting classes in different mediums. The scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice.
If you prefer capturing the world on film，take a photography vacation. Travel with a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery .You can also practice your technique on people or at historical sights.
Once you decide on a vacation，choose a company carefully. Request names of recent customers you can contact，and then ask them for an evaluation. The more you know before you go，the better prepared you’ll be. Then go out and learn something!
68．Why is it hard for you to decide on a learning vacation?
A．Because it is hard for you to make plans.
B．Because the possibilities are unlimited.
C．Because there are many good foods from abroad.
D．Because there’re too many food festivals or events.
69．The advantage of learning a language in its native country is that ________.
A．the environment is fit for you to use the language
B．you are able to learn the original foreign language
C．native speakers offer you a lot of chances to practice
D．you can learn the language and experience its culture
70．Which of the following sports suits you if you don’t like thrills?

C．Rock climbing. D．Surfing.
