I looked up the word “successful” in my dictionary and some of the words listed were:
happy, fortunate, and hard-working. If that is the definition（定义）of “successful”, then I am truly successful after 11 .
I started dabbling（涉足）in Internet marketing in October 2010. It didn’t take long for me to become a victim（受害者）of the “become-a-millionaire-overnight” 12 that was so popular on the Internet. I had supposed that selling things on the Internet was so 13 that even beginners could start making money on the very 14 day. I spent most of my time advertising rather than learning how to advertise. However, half a year’s hard work led to no money at all.
In June, I found a program that was of great value, and I began to learn from it. It wasn’t long before I 15 the “get-rich-quick” mind.

I insisted on the excellent Internet marketing and then good 19 came. My dabbling became a hobby, and then passion（热情）. Later passion encouraged my business. I have really become a millionaire within a year.
The more I learn, the more I realize I need to learn more. I’ve made a lot of mistakes 20 I know every mistake is just one more step forward, as a song tells us “you’ve got to lose to know how to win.”

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I thought that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness,
mother divided up her different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in her action though she was cold on the surface. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. However, they never happened. We quarreled with each other frequently and finally, I left home.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that she had received the letter. I only knew that I had written the letter, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me the answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
31．When did the writer begin to love her mother’s desk?
A．After Mother died.B．When she was a child.C．When Mother gave it to her.
32．Which of the following is right?
A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter.
B．Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done.
C．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.
33．What does the underlined word “frequently” mean?
A．大声地B．经常地C．犹豫地
34．What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter?
A．She had never received the letter.
B．She often talked about the letter.
C．She read the letter again and again till she died.
35．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．My Mother’s Desk B．My Childhood C．Mother And Sisters

1.However, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time.

五、阅读回答问题
阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。

In the Americas, Asia, and Africa, there’s a special kind of forest—the cloud forest. Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4, 000 meters above sea level. They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air.
Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities. People drink the water, use it for cooking, and irrigate（灌溉）their farm fields with it. In Kenya, people even use water from cloud forests to produce electricity. Although cloud forests only make up 2.5 percent of the world’s rainforests, they are also home to many animals and plants.
Unfortunately, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests. They cut down trees to grow food and use the wood to heat their homes and cook. Once cloud forests are cleared, the cloud cover, which is important and necessary to the growth of these forests, goes away. Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually. If world temperatures rise, cloud forests will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures are cooler. But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere to climb will die out.
Scientists fear we might lose cloud forests, along with the water and other services they provide. Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests. They make laws against cutting down trees in the cloud forests. They provide the local people with other ways to get food and energy. They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared.
Cloud forests are too valuable to lose. We must save them—plus the animals and plants they support—before it’s too late.
46．How many meters above sea level are cloud forests usually found?
47．Where do people use water from cloud forests to produce electricity?
48．Why are cloud forests important to people in the nearby villages and cities?
49．What problems do cloud forests face?
50．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
