12、Parents are the most important people in our life. They influence our lives in so many ways. They teach us almost everything about living, give us strength of character and make us who we are. It is because of them that we become able to do our duties. The things that we are able to do are actually their gifts to us. Right from taking care of us when we are young to guiding us whenever we need their advice, they are always there by our side.
All we can do for them is to give them love and happiness and try to make them feel proud of us. First of all,
you need to follow all the good things they taught you when you were very young. It could be about eating healthily or
exercising in a regular way, or it could be about helping anyone who needs help.
Not make complaints is also a good way. So don't complain about what you don't have. Learn to appreciate (感激) and love what your parents give you; you may not know the struggles they go through in order to give
you that.
Thirdly, you also need to start making your own decisions wisely and confidently. In other words, take control
of your life by deciding what will be good or bad for you. Let them see that you are able to do all kinds of things without asking others for help.
More importantly, you should try to be a good person. Be polite and respectful to your family and friends.
When they give you advice or a suggestion, you'd better take their ideas into consideration. Try to work as hard as you can and be modest with what you have achieved. Anyway, seeing you grow into a good person will surely make your parents proud.

Sometimes, you might not finish drinking your glass of water before you go to bed. You might want to drink it the next morning. But have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink?
“If you have clean water in a clean glass, you’re fine to drink it for a day or two,” Kellogg Schwab from the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute in the US told Time.
But you may find that it tastes strange. That’s because after about 12 hours, the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water in your glass, slightly lowering its pH level.
Also, there might be more microorganisms in your water if you leave it out overnight. Microorganisms grow more quickly at room temperature. These microorganisms can stick to your glass. They can make you get sick more easily. But as long as you clean your glasses very often, this will not be a problem.
In countries like the US and UK, people often drink water directly from the tap . This is OK – however, tap water cannot be stored for a long time. Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life of six months, according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University, US. After six months, there is less chlorine in the water and bacteria start to grow. You’d better not drink the water otherwise you may get sick.
What about plastic water bottles? Schwab said people should be careful with them. If you leave a bottle of water under the sun or in a car for a long period of time, the plastic produces a chemical called BPA．This chemical can cause heart disease and cancer.
1．According to the passage,the water in the glass tastes strange after about_______.
A．12 hours B．2 hours
C．a day and a night D．two days
2．Why does the water taste strange after a night?
A．Because there is less chlorine in the water.
B．Because the glasses are dirty after a night.
C．Because the plastic produces a chemical called BPA
D．Because the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water , lowering its pH level.
3．The underlined word “ microorganisms”in the fourth paragraph probable mean “________”A．漂浮物B．微生物C．抗生素D．废弃物
4．Which of the following is not true?
A．Y ou may get sick more easily after you drink the water overnight.
B．It’s not a right way to leave a bottle of water under the sun for a long time.
C．Many people drink water directly from the tap because of no bacteria in the running water. D．Kellogg Schwab advised us to drink clean water in a clean glass for a day or two.

16、When you are learning English, you find it not clever to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in you r own language. Languages don’t just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order , the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change between the two pairs of sentences: “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.” When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
1．From the passage we know that_________ when we are learning English.
A．we shouldn’t put every word into our language
B．we should look up every word it the dictionary
C．we need to put every word into our own language
2．We can learn from the passage that .
A．if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
B．the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C．sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
3．“She only likes apples.”
A．is the same as “Only she likes apples.”
B．is different from “Only she likes apples.”
C．means “She likes fruit except apples.”

18、If life can be compared to a meal, I think the mistakes are like salt and the success is a candy.
“Hey,”said the boy sitting next to me.“Don’t worry. Take your time.”And so I did. But I still couldn’t pronounce my Chinese name that was given by the teacher correctly. I was so embarrassed on my first day of learning Chinese!
I took Chinese classes during my summer vacation. Every morning I walked for 25 minutes to the class while having a Chinese jianbing from one of the breakfast carts(推车) on the way. Learning Spanish in school was a cushy job for me, because I could speak French and Italian which helped me with another Romance language(罗曼语). However, learning Chinese was difficult at first. As a boy who was born in America and grew up in America, I knew nothing about the language. I chose it mainly because my goal was to teach and work internationally.
As the classes went on, I slowly found that I was making connections. My 10 years of playing the piano have allowed me to perform for others. My several years of writing have led me to become a school reporter. I knew that my Chinese classes would allow me to speak Chinese well.
So what did my summer really taste like? It tasted like the Chinese food that, for the first time, I did not order in English, my mother language.
1．Why did the writer feel embarrassed in his first Chinese class?
A．Because he had no Chinese name. B．Because he forgot his Chinese name.
C．Because he had bad Chinese pronunciation. D．Because he couldn’t write his Chinese name.
2．The underlin ed word“cushy”means“”.
A．common B．funny C．popular D．easy
3．The writer’s first language is .
A．French B．English C．Italian D．Spanish
4．What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 4?
A．He had a lot of hobbies. B．He wanted to work in China.
C．He was sure he could speak Chinese well. D．He had a talent for learning foreign languages. 5．What do we know about the writer according to the passage?
A．He is good at playing the piano. B．He doesn’t like Chinese foot at all.
C．He is interested in writing and painting. D．He wants to be a language teacher in the future. Ⅴ.书面表达
