The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California is one of the world’s most beautiful bridges．It is also one of the most visited places in the world．More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago．
The bridge was painted “International Orange〞 because that color went well with the natural surroundings．The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area．But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color．It was named for the body of water that it crosses, the Golden Gate Strait, which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean．
Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing．People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries．Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project．Work began in 1934．Mr．Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building．These included the first use of〞hard hats〞to protect the workers’ heads and special glasses to protect their eyes．A special safety net was suspended under the bridge．This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction．
The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937．It extends 1280 meters across the water．The total length is 2737 meters．It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964．That is when the
Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City．Today, the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world．

C．Because it can make construction easier．
D．Because it can save building materials from falling．
32．What do we know about Joseph Strauss?

C．He attached importance to the workers’ safety．
D．He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge．

Given the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers, it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn(谷仓)will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouse．And it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure．
My friend Velma, a teacher for more than 30 years, has been retired for some time now, but that doesn’t stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School, located on her family’s California farm．The lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as an apple barn．Then, in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse．
Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow, it was now moved its current
site in 1978 by Velma's late husband and his brother, Robert and Richard, who thought
it would help keep Velma busy in retirement．No nails had been used in the original
construction, so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was
reassembled(重装)on its new site．The brothers worked with much care and hard work to
ensure a perfect fit of mitered(斜接的)comers．After the relocation．Velma and her family
furnished the school with some of its original desks．They also added a collection of schoolbooks,
the oldest dating back to 1845.
Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups, who learn what it was like
to attend school back in the good old days．She has kids ring the school bell, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing “Good Morning to You〞 as they might have done in days gone by．Then, with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm, she tells the history of the school, and gives a short sample lesson．33．What was the Englewood School used as before it began a new life in 1870．
A．a lady’s house B．a schoolhouse C．an apple barn D．a restroom．
34．Which word can best describe the school’s being relocated?
A．Challenging B．Refreshing C．fashionable D．Inspiring
35．Which can serve as the best title of the passage?
A．The Good Old Days in the Schoolhouse
B．A Mysterious Building with a Long History
C．A Teacher Devoted to Restoring Old Buildings
D．A Historic One-room Schoolhouse

Things to Remember When You’re Having a Bad Day
Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down? Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day.
● No one promised life would be perfect.
36 Don’t base your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. It is good
to be ambitious, but you’ll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.
● 37
Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isn’t easy to be patient, but anything worth doing requires time. 38 .
●Without hard times, you wouldn’t appreciate th e good ones.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to give up, that is strength. 39 . It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failures as a part of your growing process, you’ll stay positive and follow your goals for as long as it takes.
●It’s OK to cry sometimes.
Do not apologize for crying. Without this feeling, we are only robots. Don’t be afraid of crying.
40 Instead, it is an acceptable way to let go of your depressed feelings. If you let those feelings build up without release, you’ll have a much harder time dealing with them later.
A.Don’t get sad if you lose.
B.It isn’t a sign of weakness.
C.Success doesn’t happen overnight.
D.It’s not OK to worry now and then.
E.Don’t compare your life with othe rs’.
F.Remember: Rome was not built in a day.
G.If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容〔1个单词〕或括号内单词的正确形式。

One sentence from the news in Washington has remained in my mind since a trip last summer: “When you see people run against the crowd escaping 61 the danger, they are 62 (probable) firefighters, police or journalists.〞
I think this is most true for the firefighters. Whenever and wherever 63 (disaster) happen —9/11 Attacks in New York 14 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on Wednesday night —it is always the firefighters 64 take the lead to run to the very center, saving lives by 65 (risk) their own. I cried today near the explosion site, not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire 66 because of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online. It reads, “If I cannot make it, my father is 67 (you) father; and please remember 68 (sweep) my mother’s tomb.〞 I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it.
“Everyone knows it’s 69 (danger) to be a firefighter. But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years,〞his father said. “He survived this time, but no one knows what 70 (happen) next time.〞

As it is known to us, fewer and fewer students do sports regularly, what makes them weak and easily tired. There are many reasons of this. First of all, some of the students complained that they have too many homework, resulting in less time to take exercise. Beside, some of them think that it is very difficulty for them to keep doing exercise, because it is a very hard thing.
Because lack of physical activities, many students are in poor health. I suggest that our school must take measures to encourage more students to take part in sports. For us students, no matter what busy we are, it is necessary to spare some time to do exercise.
