13、Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? .Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too.All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like arevolvingdoor. When it closes, it also opens.

HIGH (Human Growth Hormone) could be the favorite drug at the next athletic world championships, and we might never know it. It is a natural substance(物质) produced by the human body, and it helps children’s bones and
muscles(肌肉) to grow. Scientists are allowed to make the drug and it is also legal to take HGH in most countries. HGH is considered a wonder drug for children. It helps many children with growth problems every year.
However, some athletes are now taking the drug. HGH helps add muscle in adults and recent research by the World Anti-Doping Agency shows that HGH may improve the sportsman’s time by 5% when he takes part in short, fast races. Some athletes say that HGH surely makes them stronger. It also helps them to recover(恢复) more quickly from injuries. Although it isbannedby most professional sports, HGH is almost impossible to test for. The drug is completely natural and it will only show in tests for around 24 hours after taking it. Testing is usually done only during competitions, but athletes use HGH during training, so it is very difficult to know who has used the drug. This makes it very attractive for some athletes. Scientists are developing a new test which will find the drug in the body for up to two weeks. But it isn’t going to be easy. Everybody has different levels of natural HGH in their body.
For this reason, scientists are warning athletes of the possible problems with the drug. Research shows that HGH increase the risk of cancer. But is this enough to stop athletes from taking it? Scientists don’t think so. Some athletes wil l do all they can to win, and worry about their health later.
1．Which of these statements is WRONG?
A．HGH is a natural substance.
B．HGH is needed to help bones and muscles grow.
C．HGH is used as medicine for children.
D．HGH is not allowed to be produced in many countries.
2．The second paragraph tells you that ____.
A．some athletes believe HGH can help them do better.
B．HGH is mainly taken by some scientists.
C．research shows that HGH is effective in 5% of athletes.
D．HGH doesn’t have any effect on performance.
3．Besides making them stronger, why is taking HGH attractive for some athletes?
A．Because it can be taken during a competition.
B．Because it is very difficult to test.
C．Because it is allowed to take it.
D．Because it works for 24 hours.
4．The underlined word “banned” in the third paragraph means ____.
A．支持B．赞成
C．禁止D．忽视
5．Scientists are afraid that ____.
A．some athletes will pay no attention to the dangers of using HGH.
B．there isn’t any risk of developing cancer as a result of taking HGH.
C．health problems caused by HGH will stop athletes from taking it.
D．athletes’ results are almost the same, so they want HGH to help them be the best.

Find Which Direction Is South
Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.
It’s never a wise idea to believe that the family member who was good at the job of map-reading knows where the family is. You can tell by the troubled look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient.
①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow(a dark shape on a surface that is made when something stands between a light and the surface).
②Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line(铅锤线). Y ou haven’t got one? OK, use a thread(线) from your clothes with a button(纽扣) tied at the end to act as a weight.
③Mark the end of the shadow cast(投射) by the stick.
④Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.
⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.
⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.
⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.
⑧That point is south of where you are.
⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.
1．To find the direction, we have to be patient probably because ___________.
A．it is not easy to find a proper stick
B．it is not easy to position the stick
C．it takes hours to make the marks
D．it takes hours to mark the map
2．The passage would probably be most helpful to ___________.
A．those who draw maps
B．those who get lost
C．those who make compasses
D．those who do experiments
3．Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?
A．B．C．D．
4．The writer presents this passage by ___________.
A．telling an interesting story
B．describing an activity in a lively way
C．testing an idea by reasoning
D．introducing a practical method

17、We go to school every day to become better people. How can we start to make big changes in our lives? Perhaps we
can get tips from former US First Lady Michelle Obama. During a visit to China from March 20 to 26 in 2015, Obama shared her views on education and youth empowerment with students.
The first lady encouraged Chinese students to aim high and get a good education. At Chengdu No 7 High School, she told students that having humble roots doesn’t matter as long as you have perseverance (毅力). Obama said her family was not rich. Like many Chinese students, her parents had big dreams for her. She felt the weight of her parents’ sacrifices (牺牲) on her shoulders and worked hard to make them proud. Persevering was not easy, though. Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 am and study late into the night. “But whenever I got tired or discouraged… I would remember something my mother always told me. She said: ‘A good education is something that no one can take away from you.’”
Mrs Obama also encouraged Chinese students to study abroad to broaden their horizons (开阔视野) in a speech at Peking University. “As the Chinese saying goes: It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books,” she said. It’s not enough to get good grades in school. It’s also importan t to have real experience with languages, cultures and societies that are different from your own, she noted. Studying overseas can also benefit future international relations. It can help young people from different countries work together to deal with shared problems like climate change, Obama said.
1．Who did Michelle Obama share her views with?
A．Students in the US. B．Students in China.
C．Her family members. D．Students who visited the White House.
2．What can we learn from her experience?
A．She studied abroad before. B．She was born into a rich family.
C．She studied long into the night. D．She often felt tired and discouraged.
3．What does the Chinese saying underlined in the last paragraph mean?
A．Getting good grades in school is good enough.
B．Real life experience is important.
C．Traveling is not as beneficial as studying at home.
D．Studying far away from home is necessary for success.
4．What’s the story mainly about?
A．Michelle Obama’s family life.
B．Michelle Obama’s experience of studying abroad.
C．The imp ortance of studying abroad and broadening one’s horizons.
D．Michelle Obama’s views on education and youth empowerment.
