A
Orville Wright was born on August 19, 1871 in Dayton, Ohio, USA and died on January 30, 1948. Together with his brother, Wilbur, he was the first airplane builder. The brothers created the first controlled, powered and heavier-than-air human flight.
His parents were Milton Wright and Susan Catherine Koerner and besides the two famous brothers they had five children. One day after a trip his father brought as a gift a small helicopter. The kids loved it and as they played daily with it after a while it broke. The brothers managed to create a new one. Wright even let go his plans of attending Yale. He spent his time helping his ill mother and reading in his father’s library.
In 1884 the family decided to move to Dayton and they remained there until the 1870’s.
A printing press was built by the two and Wilbur was an editor. In 1892 they started being fascinated by the aeronautical （航空的） events of that time. Then they started to create an airplane and Wilbur was considered the head of the team. They were the inventors of “three
axis-control”, which permitted the pilot to steer the aircraft’s balance.
In 1900 they had their first attempts to make a functional glider（滑翔机）—of course it didn’t have a pilot. After three years they thought of introducing an engine to the glider. At first, their patent(专利) application was refused in 1903, but after one year it was accepted.
Orville’s first flight lasted 12 seconds and had 36.5 meters. He was responsible with the public shows near Washington in the United States. On September 9, 1908 his flight was 62 minutes and 15 seconds long and the success was huge.
21．What might make Wright brothers interested in the plane?
A. The pleasant trip.
B. Catherine’s education.
C. The political events.
D. Their father’s gift.
22．Wright didn’t go to Yale probably because ________.
A. he had to create a plane
B. he didn’t have enough money
C. he would like to learn by himself
D. his mother asked him to stay at home
23．The underlined word “steer” (in Paragraph 3) probably means ________.
A. keep
B. drive
C. learn
D. enjoy
24．This passage tells us about ________.
A. the plane’s history
B. Milton and his children
C. Orville W right’s life
D. the development of science

Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families. With a social worker mother, the Sutton children. had inherited（继承）her commitment to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted. This year, Kinzie, her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself.
The phone rang on Sunday. A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through. No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing.
Ann saw the cheer fade away from her children's faces at the news. Without a word, Kinzie ran into her bedroom. She returned, her face set with determination.
Opening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto the table: $3.30. Everything she had.
“Mom," she told Ann, “I know it's not much. But maybe this will buy a present for the baby.”
At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughter story. To her surprise, staff members began to open their purses. and empty their pockets to help Kinzie .On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashley’s lived. Then she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one.

Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word; radiation(辐射). Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things. At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being completely by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed completely. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents. Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
29．According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.
A. nuclear mystery
B. radiation detection
C. radiation level
D. nuclear radiation
30．Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.
A. when it kills few cells
B. though the damaged cells can repair themselves
C. if it damages few cells
D. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves
31．Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.
A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately
B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later
C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation
D. lead to all of the above results
32．Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?
A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be too overemphasized (过分强调).
B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.
C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.
D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.
Do you often feel lonely? What do you do when you feel that way? Hide yourself away and spend your time reading, watching TV or walking around?
You might think that feeling lonely is just like feeling happy, sad or scared — that it’s just one of your various moods. That is true. However, if y ou let yourself be lonely for too long without dealing with it, you could be making a serious mistake.
Doctors have known for some time that feeling lonely is bad for the mind. It can lead to mental health problems such as depression, stress and reduce con fidence. “Being lonely means not feeling connected or cared for, but it’s not about being mentally alone,” Lisa Jaremka, scientist from Ohio State University, US, told Live Science in January. And there’s growing evidence that not having friends is connect ed with physical illness as
well.
In 2006, for example, scientists studied 2,800 women who had cancer. They found that those who had few friends or family were five times more likely to die of their disease than women with many social contacts. Also, even healthy people had a better chance of falling ill if they felt left out by others, according to the BBC.
The results have scientists thinking that loneliness might hurt the immune system(免疫系统), which protects the body from diseases.
Hoping to prove this theory, Jaremka and her research team put volunteers(志愿者) through a stress test. During the test, volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech in front of a group of stony-faced people. The researchers found that volunteers who said they were lonely in their daily lives felt more stress during the test. And their blood samples showed that all the stress had managed to cause harmful changes to their immune system.
“Loneliness has been thought of in many ways as a chronic stressor(慢性增压器) — a socially pain ful situation that can last for quite a long time, ” explained Jaremka, who led the study.
The number of people suffering from loneliness is increasing all over the world. However, solving the problem is easier said than done. It won’t work to just “tell a nyone to go out and find someone to love you”, said Jaremka. “We need to create support networks.”
33．If people feel lonely for a long time, ________.
A. they won’t feel happy anymore
B. they are more mentally harmed than physically
C. they will find the feeling goes away by itself
D. they are more likely to fall ill
34．What was the purpose of the stres s test carried out by Jaremka’s team?
A. To find out how people fight diseases.
B. To prove loneliness hurts people’s immune systems.
C. To find out the relationship between loneliness and stress.
D. To see how people’ s emotions change when they give unprepared speeches.
35．We can conclude from the article that ________.
A. loneliness has become the No. 1 killer in the world
B. loneliness is increasing due to advanced technologies
C. websites must be set up to help people deal with loneliness
D. much more work needs to be done to fight loneliness

Anyone who has ever tried to stop smoking knows how difficult it is to quit. There is no lack of information about how unhealthy smoking is for you- not to mention the unpleasant smell. So why would teens ever begin to smoke?
36． Research shows that the majority of smokers lit up their first cigarette in their early or mid-teens, precisely at a time when children are beginning to establish their own identity apart from their parents. Smoking can be an act of rebellion(反抗) against parents or authority figures, as well as a way to fit in with others and feel accepted.
Here are some things that parents can do to help a child stay smoke-free.
Start talking to your teen about how bad smoking is for him early, well before his teens. Keep talking, too. 37．
38． For example, smoking makes your hair and clothing smell bad, stains the teeth, and reduces your lung power to play sports.
39． Talk about the addictive power of smoking and tell him while those few cigarettes are his choice, the addiction that occurs shortly afterwards makes him powerless to decide whether or not he wants to light up.
Work on self-esteem(自尊) and self-confident with your teen. Much of the attraction of smoking is to gain acceptance. 40．
Young teens live in the moment, too.
Play on your child’s desire to make his own choices.
The answer lies in the develop-mental stage of your teens.
Give your child the facts, but focus on the things he can relate to.
Help your teen to feel good about himself without having to smoke.
One discussion will not be enough to help your child not to smoke.
They won’t be aware of how powerful addictive smoking is in a very short time.

Last week, when we learned the new word “slovenly”, we asked to make a sentence with it. I volunteered to do it by saying “My deskmate is a slovenly g irl who clothes never fit her.” Hearing this, a whole class burst into laughter and my deskmate face turned red. After class, I learned up from the teacher that my deskmate would have dropped out of school if she hadn’t been helped with others. My mindless words must have hurt him deeply. Not until then do I realize words could be powerfully in both positive and negative ways. We should avoid hurt others if our words are not encouraging.

72．The worst tourist (旅行者) in the world may be Nicholas Scottie of San Francisco. Once he flew from the US. to his hometown in Italy. He had some troubles on his journey. The night before, he stayed up late to deal with some emails, so when he boarded on the plane he decided to have a sleep. Hours later, he was woken up by some noise and he found the plane had landed.
As he thought he had arrived home, Mr. Scottie got off the plane . He thought he was in Rome. However, the truth was that the plane made a one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York.
Mr. Scottie waited at the airport for some while, but nobody was there to meet him, he thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic which was very common in Rome. He decided
to give his family a phone call. Unfortunately, he found he had left his cellphone at the hotel in San Francisco. Therefore, he decided to go home by himself. While he was walking in the city, Mr. Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many street signs were written in English. What made him most surprised was that drivers’ awareness of traffic safety was improved and he hardly found any driver speeding on the road. All cars were driving in line. The condition was widely different from that in the past. He was feeling proud.
Mr. Scotti knew very little English, so he asked a policeman (in Italian) the way to the bus station . He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. Mr. Scotti thanked him, left, quickly found the bus station and got on a bus. He looked outside of the bus window.

To Be a Popular Student
To Be a Popular Student, we should be equipped with the following qualities.
To enjoy popularity, we are supposed to regard the class as our family and sacrifice our personal interests whenever necessary. Besides taking an active part in class activities, we should work responsibly to build up a good reputation for the team.
In addition, students with high popularity are those who show respect, concern, and sympathy for others. So undoubtedly, we should never hesitate to give a hand to those in need. Finally, when it comes to gaining popularity, one thing that can’t be ignored is to be strict with ourselves, making every effort to achieve an all-round development. In time of success, we should remain modest, while in time of difficulty, we should keep strong-minded.
All in all, popularity with classmates and teachers comes naturally to those who keep improving their qualities.
After twelve hours' travelling round on a bus, Mr. Scottie thought to himself that Rome had changed so much that he even failed to find his home. The bus driver had to leave work and go home, so he handed Mr Scottie over to another policeman. Mr. Scottie asked the policeman, “Sir, could you tell me why the police employ so many people speaking English instead of Italian as policemen?” The policeman smiled and said, “I’m sorry to tell you that you are in New York, but not Rome now.” However, Mr. Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so.
To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens(警报) on. The driver was speeding on the road and didn’t stop even when the red light shined. Seeing how the driver drove on the road, Mr. Scottie was certain that he was in Rome because people in Rome usually drove in that way. “Look,” said Mr. Scottie
to the policeman sitting beside him, “I’m sure that I’m in Rome. That’s the way in which people drive.”。
