AOne day an old woman was travelling alone in the mountains. Suddenly she saw something shining in the stream（溪流）. When she came close, she found it was a precious（宝贵的）stone. She put the stone into her bag and went on with her trip.The next day the old woman met a young man, who was also a traveler in the mountains. The young man looked very hungry, so the old woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked carefully, "The stone is beautiful. Would you like to give it to me?""Sure. Why not?" the woman said, and handed the stone to him.The young man left happily with the stone. He knew it was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman."I've been thinking." he said. "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back and hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have in your bag."The woman opened her bag. It was almost empty. She looked at the young man and smiled, "I have nothing special in my bag, but I do have something precious—the joy of giving!"The young man felt ashamed (惭愧的）and left silently.21. How did the young man find the precious stone?A. He found it in his food.B. He dug it out in a valley.C. He saw it in the woman's bag.D. He noticed it shining in the stream.22. What does the underlined word "security" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Worry.B. Money.C. HealthD. Trouble.23. The man returned the stone to the woman because____________.A. he found the stone was not precious.B. he understood the real meaning of joy.C. he felt embarrassed（尴尬的）at taking away the stone.D. he wanted to get something even more precious.BWhen I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4：30 in the morning.We need every one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit（离开；放弃）on school—you' re not just quitting on yourself , you 're quitting on your country. No one's written your destiny(命运) for you ,because you write your own destiny. You make your own future. That's why today I 'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.But whatever you decide to do , I want you to commit to（使致力于）it. I want you to really work at it. I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You're not a good athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice.24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The writer's home was very rich.B. The writer was born in a poor family.C. The writer didn't like reading books.D. The writer's mother was a teacher.25. What does the writer want everyone to do by improving their talents and skills?A. To offer help to the old people who have difficulties.B. To quit on their country to earn more money.C. To write their own new destiny by working as TV star.D. To spend some time writing books about their own life.26. Why does the writer call on everyone to set his/her own goal?A. Because everyone's future is to do simple work.B. Because everyone's future is determined by themselves.C. Because everyone should do their homework.D. Because everyone should pay attention in class.27. How can people realize their great dream?A. By rapping.B. By playing basketball.C. By working hard.D. By being a reality star.CThere are so many ways to make new friends such as joining a sports team, taking part in community activities, or traveling. And there is no doubt that a friend in need is a friend indeed because he can help you out when you are in trouble or encourage you when you are frustrated(沮丧). So, joining a sports team will be my first choice.The primary (主要的）reason for this is that everyone in a sports team has the same interest, which is the most fundamental(基础的）character for friends. Because of it, they will become your potential friends so that the chance to be true friends is very high. In addition, the same interest can give you a lot of topics to talk about with your friends in daily conversation.Another factor （因素）that should be taken into consideration is the memory. After you fight for a goal with your partners, it will leave you a good experience, which is necessary for a long-lasting friendship. I used to be a player in the basketball team of my high school. Even though it was five years ago, I can remember all the exciting moments when we fought for the championship（冠军称号）as if they happened yesterday. And although we went to different universities, we get together so many times.In addition, trust is also an important aspect（方面）. As we know, keeping trust is the most important thing in the team because it can make you be together all the time. Furthermore, you can share happiness and sadness with reliable friends and they will make you feel life is beautiful andthat the future is bright.Join a sports team, and your new friends are waiting for you.28. Why does the author think that a friend in need is a friend indeed?A. Because he can share your happiness.B. Because he can encourage you when you succeed.C. Because he can help you join a sports team.D. Because he can help you when you need him.29. What does the author think is the best for a student to make new friends?A. Joining a sports team.B. Traveling with others.C. Taking part in community activities.D. Remembering exciting moments.30. The underlined word "potential" in the second paragraph can be replaced by "_________".A. bestB. suitableC. possibleD. reliable31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. True friends should have the same interest.C. No sports teams, no new friends.D. Join a sports team to make new friends.DAlbert Einstein was born in Germany, in 1879.He was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.
