Around twenty years ago I was living in York. I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree，I could not find work.

I was a school bus to make ends meet and with a friend of mine，for I had lost my flat. I had five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not the job. “Why has my life become so ?”I thought painfully.

As I pulled the bus over to a little girl; she handed me an earring I should keep it somebody claimed(認(rèn)領(lǐng)) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.

At first I got angry. Then it me—I had been giving all of my to what was going wrong with my rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for from a lady who was a director at a large . She asked me if I would a one?day lecture on stress management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.

My there went very well, and before long I got a well?paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of that I completely changed my life.

At first, the earth’s surface(表面) layer (層) was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks. Then slowly, the rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebbles (卵石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.

There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and cracks (裂縫) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.

The moving water of streams and rivers also helps to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones. Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.

The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.

1.According to the passage, soil ________.

A. forms very slowly

B. is a mixture of stones, pebbles and sand

C. makes up the layers of the earth

D. is becoming smaller and smaller

2.How many factors are mentioned in helping break up rocks?

A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. More than five.

3.Which of the following speeds up(加速) the breaks of rocks most?

A. Hot weather.

B. Cold water.

C. Sharp changes in temperature.

D. More dead plants in the cracks.

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The remains of many plants and animals formed soil.

B. If a large rock never moves, it will never break up.

C. Even if a large rock never moves, it will break up.

D. Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks.

Hunter likes to go traveling in summer, but he had bad lucky this time. Last week he went to an old temple on a high mountain alone. On the way there it suddenly began to rain heavily, so he ran down the mountain quick. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he found that the wooden bridge was under of the water.

Li Hua and Wang Hai are students of Senior One. They all work hard but have different learning methods. Li Hua listens to her teachers attentive and tries to catch everything the teachers say. She spends more time doing her homework. It is certain what she can go to bed earlier and always keeps energetic in the day.

However, Wang Hai had a different way of learning. He likes to stay up late at the night, so he often feels sleepy in class. As the result, he misses lots of key point and it usually takes him more time to finish his homework, that makes it difficult for him to concentrate what he is doing. I prefer Li Hua's learning method.

Our flat was on the fifth floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was delicious and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.

The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our flat in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn’t see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The man’s actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that we’d better try to make it to our flat as quickly as possible. I didn’t like my dad’s voice; I could hear fear in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.

We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending(自動(dòng)販賣) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul.

It’s one vacation I will never forget.

Alexander von Humboldt was born in 1769 in Berlin, Germany. As a young boy, he wanted to learn about the world. Humboldt followed his dream. In 1799, he traveled with a friend to Central and South America.

On their trip, Humboldt and his friend saw and did many things. They sailed down the Amazon River. They watched dolphins play in the ocean. They explored the rain forest and climbed mountains and volcanoes. They were able to make the first maps of the northern part of South America.

Humboldt set a world record for mountain climbing. He also made a discovery. During his climb, Humboldt became very sick. He found out that the higher he climbed, the less oxygen there was in the air. This made it more difficult to breathe. Later, this became known as mountain sickness.

Science was another part of Humboldt’s interests. He wanted to write about all of the new things he saw. He described the new plants, animals, and rocks which had never been seen by scientists before.

Humboldt also studied the way of life of the local people. He learned how the native people along the Amazon River used plants in their daily lives. For example, they used a strong poison from a vine(蔓生植物) to make poisoned arrows. The natives used these arrows for hunting their food.

The Amazon Indians also used a native plant to treat malaria (瘧疾), a serious illness. The plant grew wild, but after it was dug up, it was never replanted. Humboldt warned the natives that the plant was in danger of dying out. He looked for ways to preserve the plant and to make it grow strong.

Although Humboldt took many risks during his trip, he lived to be 90 years old. In his lifetime, he made many discoveries and shared them with the world. As a tribute (頌揚(yáng)) to Humboldt, there are rivers and mountains named after him.

1.We can infer that Humboldt was probably a (n) ________.

A. explorerB. inventorC. doctorD. writer

2.Humboldt and his friend made maps of ________.

A. the central part of South America

B. the northern part of South America

C. the north part of Central America

D. the southern part of Central America

3.What do we know about mountain sickness?

A. It can be treated with a plant.

B. It is a serious illness like malaria.

C. It mainly influences one’s breathing.

D. It was discovered by Humboldt’s friend.

4.We can tell from the text that Humboldt was ________.

A. easy-goingB. imaginativeC. optimisticD. ambitious

A trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping(給小費(fèi)) culture you’ve never come across in China.

In the US,giving a little extra money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice.

Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour,employees receiving tips—often waiters and waitresses—are the exceptions.They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour,and tips make up the difference.As The Wall Street Journal put it:“The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.”

So how should you tip if you are in the US?

Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill.Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected.You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.

Yet there is an exception.For take-out food,you don’t have to provide tips,though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra—but maybe a little less.

Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants,pizza parlors,cafés or ice cream shops either,though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收銀機(jī)).Don’t feel obligated to throw some money in,but also remember that it doesn’t hurt.Those workers do not rely on tips.

Other service workers also receive tips.For taxi drivers,15 percent is the norm (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)),more if they help with your bags.Hairdressers often receive about 15 percent of the bill.The same goes for spa therapists(理療師) and tour guides.

Today,you can even pay tips on a credit card.When receiving a copy of the bill to sign,you are free to fill in how much you’d like to tip.

Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people,it’s important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning,things will be just fine.

1.What is the article mainly about?

A. How tipping culture started in the US.

B. How to give tips properly in the US.

C. New ways to give tips in the US.

D. The different attitudes that Chinese people and Americans have toward tipping.

2.Which of the following is said to be against the norm of tipping in the US?

A. Paying waiters and waitresses less than $7.25 per hour.

B. Ignoring the tip jar at fast food restaurants,cafés,or ice cream shops.

C. Tipping taxi drivers less than 15% because of poor service.

D. Refusing to give tips to your tour guide.

3.The underlined word “obligated” in Paragraph 7 probably means 　　　.

A. being forced to do something B. being grateful for something

C. being surprised at something D. being embarrassed about something

4.According to the author,Chinese consumers 　　　.

A. don’t necessarily have to follow the tipping rules in the US

B. should use their credit cards to give tips

C. must argue about the amount of tip they have to pay

D. should take it easy and give the correct tips for different occasions
