13、“Joe, did you book your ticket yet?” I asked. “No. I changed my mind. I’m not going to go.”“What? You aren’t going to Australia? We’ve been planning this vacation for months!”“Yeah, I don’t feel like it. We’ll go some other time.”
Over the coming weeks, I tried to get my friend to reconsider, but failed. Our trip to Australia was off. And none of my friends wanted to replace him. If I wanted to travel, it would have to be on my own.
It’s taught me that if I wait for others, I’ll never go anywhere. But there are places I want to visit, people to see, experiences to have, and food to try—and only so much time to achieve it all. So I refuse to w ait. I won’t let others keep me from realizing my dreams. It can be scary travelling alone, especially then you’ve never done it before. But, to me, growing old without experiencing everything you want from life is more frightening.
If you’re been putting off a trip because you’re waiting for someone to go with—stop. Just go. Don’t let others hold you back from your dreams. Trust me, along the way you’ll make plenty of friends. More than that, travelling alone gives you real freedom. You wake up and it’s ju st you—what you want, where you want, when you want. In that freedom and great space of possibility, you meet yourself.
It’s sink or swim and you have to learn how to survive—who to trust, how to make friends, how to find your way around alone. That’s the greatest reward（奖赏）of travelling alone. Each time you go away, you learn to become a little more independent and confident.
Travelling alone is not for everyone. Some people return home soon after starting off, some cry for weeks before accepting it, and others just accept it right away. But you’ll never learn that if you don’t travel once by yourself. Whether a weekend away, a two-week vacation, or a trip around the world, try it at least once.
1．What does the writer think is more frightening?
A．Travelling alone for the first time.
B．Changing your mind all the time.
C．Waiting for others during a long trip.
D．Failing to experience life in your growth.
2．The underlined words “hold you back from your dreams” in Paragraph 4 probably mean“______”.
A．get you out of trouble B．stop you from travelling
C．keep you waiting for them D．wake you up from your dream
3．According to the writer, the best reward of travelling alone is _____.
A．the experience of travelling
B．the freedom to go anywhere
C．the chance to taste delicious food
D．the possibility of meeting new people
4．The passage is mainly about__________.
A．where to travel B．when to travel
C．how to travel safely D．why to travel alone
B
14、 A dragonfly, only an inch and a half long, appears to be animal world's best long distance travelerflying thousands of miles overoceans as it moves from continent to continent----- according to a newly published research.Biologists who lead the study say the evidence is in the genes. They found that populations of this dragonfly, called Pantala flavescens, in Texas, eastern Canada, Japan, Korea, India, and South America, have genes so similar that there is only one likely explanation. Obviously these dragonflies are traveling distances that are quite long for their small size, breeding with each other, and creating a common gene pool.But how do dragonflies from different continents manage to meet and breed? Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved. For example, they increased surface areas on their wings that enable them to use the wind to carry them.
Dragonflies, in fact, have already been found crossing the Indian Ocean from Asia to Africa. "They are following the weather," says Daniel Troast. "They're going from India where it's dry season to Africa where it's wet season, and they do it once a year.”
Wetness is important for Pantala, and that is why they would take such a dangerous trip. Though many will die on the route, as long as enough make it, the species survives. For the moment, the details of this wonderful
insect trip are an educated best guess. Much more work is needed to be done. Ware and Troast hope that
scientists can work on figuring out those routes.
1．What shows Pantala flavescens are the world’s longest-distance flyers?
A．Scientists have recorded the dragonfly across the world.
B．The same dragonfly was found both in Asia and America.
C．There are many Pantala flavescens in different continents.
D．Pantala fiavescens in different continents have similar genes.
2．What may help Pantala flavescens fly over so long distance?
A．Their special body shape. B．Their special and strong wings.
C．Their small and light body. D．Their strong sense of direction.
3．What is necessary for Pantala flavescens to breed?
A．Wet weather. B．Warm places. C．Dry environment. D．Enough sunshine.
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Scientists have found the details of the trip.
B．Dragonflies leave India because of the dry season.
C．Dragonflies can hardly survive after such a dangerous trip.
D．The dragonfly is animal world's best short distance traveler.

15、Let’s suppose it’s a common day of 2060. Of course，things have changed and life is very different.
Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in 2010’s. At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地) on the moon，many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon，every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for the entertainment(娱乐) of the young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form，and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.
Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago，most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts areirrigatedwith water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). The harvest is always good. Farming，of course，is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.
People are now largely vegetarians，and they eat only bread，vegetables，fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see，as the number of people increases，the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds，and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
1．What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?
A．Many green plants B．Many interesting places
C．Many wild animals D．Many pests
2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ irrigated”?
A．冲刷B．淹没C．灌溉D．烦恼
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．People only eat foods in pill form
B．People don’t have plenty of crops.
C．People run the farms by using high technology.
D．People will not die.
4．Why do people have to be vegetarians in 2060?
A．Because there will be more people and fewer animals.
B．Because vegetables can make the patients well.
C．Because they want to be healthier.
D．Because there will be no other animals.

16、First Aid，Learn It by Y ourself
When we are injured or suddenly feeling unwell, what we need to do is to treat it in the right way. How can we do that? First aid (急救) is here to help.
First aid is the first steps you can take to care for someone wh o’s injured. It includes keeping safe, helping someone feel better and staying calm. It also includes getting help, either by telling an adult or calling 120.
Sept 14 is World First Aid Day. It’s time for us to learn about this useful life skill.
Nosebleed
Ask the person to lean (倾斜) forward and pinch (捏) his/her nose
for five to six minutes. Do not move the head backward, as the blood
can run into their mouth or even lungs.
Choking
Stand behind the choking (因噎住而窒息) person, put your arms around their waist and lean him or her forward. Make fists with your hands and thrust (猛烈施压) your fists into their stomach. Do this up to five times. You can also do back blows – firmly slap (拍打) their back with your hand. If the object still doesn’t come out, call 120.
Broken bone
If the bone is broken, keep it still. You can support it with your
hands or clothes to stop movement. Then, find an adult or call 120 for
further help.
Burn
Quickly cool the burned area with cold running water. You should do this for at least 10 minutes. Then, call an adult for help or go to the
hospital. Do not use ice. It can make the injury even worse.

17、"Tammy! Come here, please! Mother needs your help in the kitchen." Her father called out to her.
Tammy was in her room, getting ready to do her homework. "Yes, Daddy!" she replied. "I'll be right there."
She hurried out of her bedroom and down the hallway. She was only nine years old. Her elder sister, Ella, had just moved away to go to a performing arts high school in another city. Her brother, Harry, was in middle school and always got home late. With Ella leaving home, Tammy was expected to do a lot more than she had ever done before, especially now, because her mother was ill.
Her father was in the kitchen. "Tammy, I know you usually do your homework right now, but with things being different, we all have to change a little bit. I'll help you and Harry with your homework later on, OK?"
Her father had an apron（围裙）on over his clothes, and he looked kind of funny. He was doing the dishes and he always splashed（溅出）water all over when he did that. After helping her father with the dishes, Tammy helped set the table. After supper, her father helped her and Harry with their homework, and then they played a board game so that their mother could lie down for a while.
The next morning, Tammy got up early on her own because she wanted to help her mother with breakfast. She made orange juice and even put bread in the toaster and got out the butter so that her mother could sleep for a few more minutes.
When her mother got up half an hour later, she was very surprised and moved to see the breakfast on the dining table. She gave Tammy a big hug.
"Thank you, Tammy. You really are mother's little helper now, aren't you?"

18、Dolores Huerta has worked hard most of her life to help other people. She has helped change things so that farm workers can have a better life.
Dolores grew up in California. She was a good student and liked school. After she finished high school, she went to college and studied to be a teacher. After she became a teacher, Dolores noticed that many of her students were not getting enough food to eat. Some of them wore very old clothes. Dolores wondered how she could help them.
Dolores decided to stop teaching so that she could spend more time helping the farm workers and their families. One thing she wanted to do was to get more pay for farm workers so they could buy their children the things they needed. Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables. She began talking and writing about these workers. Even people who lived far from California read what Dolores wrote.
Getting higher pay for the farm workers was not easy. Dolores worked hard to make sure that farm workers got good pay for their work. She knew that nothing would change unless people made new laws to help the workers. Through all her hard work, new laws were made that gave farm workers good pay.

19、Hello, my classmates!
Pressure is a serious problem in today's world. Most students in our class are under too much pressure. Some students can't get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams too much.
I was always under pressure, too. My parents wanted me to be the top student in my class. They always sent me to all kinds of after-classes on weekends.
I had a talk with my parents and told them I had done my best. Finally, they understood me. In this way, I feel less stressed out so that I can concentrate more on my studies.
Less pressure makes better life. Thank you.。
