Saturday, 17th March
Today I got my dream job in New York!
However, it’s far away from my home
town and I’ve never visited New York
before. Yesterday I took the train
here and one of my workmates met me at
the railway station. Then he showed me
to the company. There they had a
welcome party for me. Great!
My company offered no living place, so
I had to find somewhere to live. I
stayed in a hotel while I looked for
a new home.
Sunday, 1st April
I’ve found the perfect flat! It’s
small but very nice. It’s near my
office, so I can walk to work. The only
problem is that it’s $1,000 a month.
That’s too much for a young man like
me!
I’ve soon got used to the life here.
I love it! There’s a supermarket
nearby and some restaurants I can go
to when I do not want to cook. My
workmates and new neighbours are
friendly. It’s April Fool’s Day
today and I even played a trick on my
neighbour next door. Cool!
( ) 31. How did Daniel get to New York?
( ) 32.What is Daniel’s flat like?
A. It’s far away from his office.
B. It’s quite cheap
C. It’s very big.
D. It’s very nice.
( ) 33.What does Daniel NOT tell us?
A. Whether he has visited New York before.
B. Where he stayed before he found a flat.
C. Why he had a party on April Fool’s Day.
D. What his workmates and new neighbours are like.

TIME flies like an arrow. What is your most unforgettable experience in the year 2015? Three Teens readers want to share their stories with you.
Ji Luyang, 13, from Jiangsu: This summer, I went for a budget trip with my father to northern China. We traveled to Shandong. Tianjin and Beijing for only 1,000 yuan. We tried to save money. We took trains instead of planes. Hard seat tickets were our first choice. If it was a night
train, then we had the hard sleeper because it saved the money for a hotel. We bought food from local supermarkets after 8 pm, which is the time they usually have discounts(折扣). After the trip, I have become an expert on saving money.
He Zhuowen, 14, from Shanxi: The biggest thing for me this year is that I have made a new friend from Taiwan. I met her at a business party with my father. Her name is Zou Mianzhi. She is of the same age as me. I learnt a lot about schools in Taiwan from Zou. For example, they take logic class and home economics(家政)class, which are new to me. Zou was also curious about the simplified Chinese(简体中文)and asked me to teach her. Now we still talk about our lives via Wechat(微信)every day.
Zhang Yaoyi, 14, from Shanghai: In 2015 I tried teaching for the first time in my life. It was part of our school’s community activities. We go to teach young kids Chinese and English in communities once a month. Before, I thought it was easy, but I was wrong. To prepare lessons, I had to work until midnight. It made me exhausted. From this experience I came to understand our teachers more. It is really frustrating(令人沮丧的) when you speak on the platform but nobody listens!

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better
paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job
while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of
education is to make people get jobs. But this isn't accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded (全面的) and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education
is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
( )39. People with little education usually_______.
A. spend a long time in school
B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job
( )40. The earliest education was probably to_______.
A. make a man lead a better life
B. teach a man to write and read
C. make people get a way of living
D. teach people to read good books
( )41. It is expected that educated people will be able to_______.
A. accept education as a way of living
B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays
D. learn subjects like language and math ( )42. The passage mainly tells us that_______.
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get good paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
四、词语运用（共16小题，每小题1分，满分16分）

五、任务型阅读(满分20分)
A)阅读填词。

（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）(每空限填一个单词)
This week, our topic is pollution. What are the answers to all of our pollution problems? We asked two experts to give their views.
◇Forest Smith is a member of Green First, an environmental group.
Our future on the Earth looks very bad. We are dumping waste on our land. We can’t breathe the fresh air. The sea is polluted too.
I visited some relatives recently in a small village. They grow their own food and cycle everywhere. They are not wealthy, but they are happy and healthy.
We must close the factories producing useless products. That will reduce rubbish and air pollution. We must recycle more, give up all cars, and improve public transport.
A big problem is overpopulation in big cities. We must give up big cities and factories, and go back to a simple way of life.
◇John Green is a scientist at a university.
Things are not as bad as Forest says. We’ll have a bright future. We don’t need to give up cars but we need to invent better, cleaner engines.
This won’t stop the problem of traffic jams. So we need better public transport. We should also recycle more.
But some things are getting better. My sister returned last month after living abroad for five years. She said, “Our old neighbourhood doesn’t look the same as before－it is cleaner and greener now.”
B)阅读短文，回答问题。

（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Why do people cry? Scientists say the body produces tears because they need them. One kind of tears is for the eye, the other is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust(灰尘) gets into your eye, tears also come into the eye to clean it out. If you are hurt by something, your strong feelings produce some poisonous chemicals(毒素) in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. If these poisonous chemicals are not cleaned out of your body as soon as possible, they will do harm to the heart sooner or later.
In the United States men have heart problems more often than women do. Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures(压力) of living and working now. Perhaps men suffer more from these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more.
In fact, you can find many ways of reducing the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural and physical one.
How many kinds of tears does the body usually produce?
What do tears do when dust gets into your eye?
Will the poisonous chemicals in the body do harm to the heart?
Why do men suffer more from heart problems than women?
What will you do to reduce the pressures of living and working to keep fit?
Please give TWO examples.
