Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother's care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. He didn't like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河). He was nearly drowned nine times.
After his father's death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army.

The journey to the moon had been the first step toward future exploration(探险) in space. The distance between the Moon and Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is millions of miles away. Traveling to the pla nets will be man’s next aim. Such travels will be more challenging than the trip to the moon and certainly more adventurous.
Recently, two American spaceships, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars trying to discover
whether that planet has any life on it. So far the signs of life on Mars has neither confirmed(确认) nor ruled out. Russians have discovered that the surface of Venus(金星) is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely dense(稠) and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Scientists believe man may find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth , but man should realize Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to love and care for it.

Toronto is a big and beautiful city，which has developed from a relative unknown place over the past half century to the center of culture, trade and communication in Canada.
With its colorful ethnic(种族的)mix，rich history and breathtaking buildings,
Toronto offers nonstop adventures to the tourists. To get a sense of how big，various and magical Toronto is，the best place to start is the CN Tower，the tallest free-standing(无支撑物的)building in the world. From this point, visitors can get a bird’s eye view of the city's amazing scenery and unique geography.
In addition to being an important center of culture，trade and communication in Canada，Toronto is also a major multiethnic city. It has a population of over 4.5 million and its citizens come from countries around the world and from all manner of ethnic backgrounds. Every day，in most places of the city，a hundred different languages can be heard on the streets，from Hindi to Greek to French. This，perhaps，explains why former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said that Canada is really more mosaic(马赛克，镶嵌图案) of cultures and languages than a melting pot.
Street signs in Toronto are mostly in English. Weekly and daily newspapers are published in various languages，and the city hosts successful international film festival each September. It is also home to a popular baseball team，the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has something for everyone.

Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.
In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought（干旱）. The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989.
Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals（节日）. For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended（延长）daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television. Daylight Saving
14. What can we learn about DST in some Australian states?

C．It brings about longer working days. D．Radio and TV programs become different

As a famous saying goes, time is money, which shows the important of time. Time is valuable but limited. When time is gone, they will never come back.
How a pity it is that many of us make poor use of time. We spend much time play games and chatting online. We don’t realize wasting time are equal to a waste of our life. As the result, we will regret having achieved little one day. However, we should get rid the habit of wasting time. Do not put off that what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only brought us failure, but also lead us to poverty. V 书面表达（25分）

I’m glad to hear that you are going to travel. Now I’d like to share my view

In my opinion, travelling is a very good activity. When yo u get tired of your
work or study and when you have free time, you can go out to enjoy the beauty of
nature. You can breathe the fresh air, meet different people and make friends with
them. Only by relaxing yourself will you forget your tiredness and build up your
health.
In order to have a pleasant journey, you need to make full preparations ahead
of time. You’d better have clear information about the weather, and bring proper
clothes, a camera, some medicine for common injuries and diseases and so on. On your
journey,you must pay attention to what you eat. Be careful with everything
everywhere in case your money gets stolen.
Do you agree with me? Wish you a good journey. Li Hua
