13、Once again, God seems to have put a homeless person in my path. Lately, I have regularly come into contact with people that I just can’t ignore .
His name is Mark and I was surprised to hear that he is only three years older than me. He looks so much older! He was on the counter, asking for money. I parked my car and plonked(砰地放下) myself down on the curb(路边) to talk. People were driving by and looking at us, but I didn’t ca re.
He told me about his life. How much of his story I believe, I don’t know. He told me he was dying----that part I believe, for he could hardly walk and had trouble catching his breath.
I asked what I could do to help him. He said all he wanted was a slice of pizza. I gave him $3, the only cash I had . He said he wanted to go to get the food himself, but he was stopped from the shopping center for begging. I said I would get it for him and asked if he wanted something to drink .
Then he asked for a(n) ri de to the trail in the woods where he had his tent. Usually I don’t give rides to strangers, but this was just up the street, and quite honestly he had no physical threat to me. When we parted, he held my hand for a long time and we just looked at each other wordlessly for a few moments.
At that time, he wasn’t a homeless man and I wasn’t a sufferer .We became just two souls making a human connection I don’t know if I will ever see him again, but I know I will never forget him. God bless you, Mark, and your beautiful blue eyes and gentle soul.

18、International tourism is becoming more and more popular. Large numbers of people from all over the world come to visit famous places, such as the Great Wall of China and the Sistine Chapel（西斯廷教堂）in Vatican City. These visitors contribute (贡献)a l ot to the local development, but at the same time they have caused many problems. They’ve thrown rubbish everywhere, brought more traffic and even done serious damage（破坏）to these places.
As for the damage, there are many different causes. For example, the paintings in the Sistine Chapel are being damaged because people breathe onto them when they visit. Damage in other places such as the Great Wall is serious partly because tourists climb on delicate（脆弱的）areas. Even though some of the walls were built of stone, after so many years, they are already in poor condition and need to be rebuilt.
▲On the one hand, we have to cut down tourist numbers, because fewer visitors will result in less damage. On the other hand, we should make strict rules about which areas people can visit and what they can do when they get there. For example, special paths（路径）can be built and people will not be allowed to walk off the paths. Visitors to indoor places can be asked to wear masks（面罩）to protect the paintings.
It is necessary to control tourism at famous places. If we do not do this, these places will disappear from our planet. And people who live hundreds of years later will have no chance to see these great places.
1．What does the underlined word “tourism” in Paragraph 1 mean i n Chinese?
A．交流B．污染C．购物D．旅游
2．What causes the Sistine Chapel to be damaged?
A．People’s writing their names on its walls.
B．People’ s breathing onto the paintings.
C．People’ s drawing on the paintings.
D．People’ s climbing up its walls.
3．Which of the following can be put in ?
A．Why are these places so popular?
B．What has been done to protect these places?
C．What can we do to deal with these problems?
D．How much money is needed to rebuild these places?
4．What is the writer’s purpose of writi ng this passage?
A．To predict the future of famous places.
B．To call on people to protect famous places.
C．To ask people to travel less during holidays.
D．To explain why international tourism is popular.

19、A(n) toy gun I have
Everyone has an object that she/ he like best. So do I.
In my drawer, there is a toy gun wrapped by yellow cloth. It’s a black toy gun and it can shot some small plastic pills for ten meters. When I was young, I played with other kids with my toy gun. They all admired me and put me in the place of leader. I was so happy then.
When I was a little boy, I liked watching the war movies best. I was eager to have my own toy gun. One day, it was my birthday. I asked for it when my father came back. My family was poor then and my father didn’t promise me. F rom then, father worked harder and came back more lately. A week later, father put a box to me. A black toy gun in it! I was moved with tears. In order to get it, father worked late and hurt himself. He died a month later.
Now I hope I can be a soldier and own a real gun to protect my country and family. I will remember my father’s love forever. Every time I miss him, I’ll take out the toy gun and say “Thank you, my dear father!。
