One terribly cold day, a snowstorm hit our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. (1) So to have a friend who could warn me of dangerso was important.
When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, Bruce suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I couldn’t wait to finish the job and go back home. I began cutting down the tree. (2) When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt whether my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale. “You should have been killed,” he said. It was my boots that saved my life.
(3)Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down——but not my mother. Even though she was glad that I wasn’t hurt, my mother was still serious with me. After all(畢竟), I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.

Hotels can make a person’s stay away from home as restful as possible. Hotels provide warm beds to allow guests a peaceful night’s rest. Besides, some hotels offer guests special services such as newspapers to read in the morning, fresh coffee, and even breakfast. Hotel workers want their guests to feel warm and welcome when they stay in their hotel.

One hotel near the Arctic Circle, however, is different. This hotel gives its guests a cold welcome. The Ice Hotel, in Sweden, is all made of ice. The Ice Hotel might sound strange, but in some ways it is a special hotel. It has a front lobby where guests check into the hotel, plenty of rooms to sleep in, and even room service, which guests can use to have food delivered to their rooms. The Ice Hotel is different, though, because most of the items are made from ice.

It takes more than 30 tons of ice and snow to build the Ice Hotel. It melts(融化) in the summer and is rebuilt each winter. Different builders and artists create the Ice Hotel, so each winter this famous hotel has a new shape and design.

The effort of building the Ice Hotel is worth it, however. Walking into the Ice Hotel is like walking into a diamond. The walls reflect even the smallest bits of light. Ice pillars(柱子)support the roof. The floor below shines like glass. Almost every inch of this hotel sparkles inside. Visiting the Ice Hotel is truly an unusual experience.

Temperatures inside the Ice Hotel are usually below freezing. Guests wear warm jackets, hats, gloves, and thick boots. Even the owners of the Ice Hotel know that staying in a building with walls of ice four feet thick can be a bit cold. They have a solution though. The Ice Hotel has a sauna for its guests. A sauna is a room filled with steam, where guests can warm themselves. In a way, then, one could say that the Ice Hotel does give their guests a warm welcome after all.

1.Why must the Ice Hotel be rebuilt each year ?

A.Because the hotel melts during the summer.

B.Because guests suggest changes to the hotel.

C.Because the hotel is damaged by the sauna.

D.Because more rooms are needed at the hotel.

2. From paragraph2 we can infer that ______.

A.the Ice Hotel has temperatures below freezing but is warm inside

B.guests of the Ice Hotel check in at the front lobby

C.the Ice Hotel is like other hotels except that it is made of ice

D.guests of the Ice Hotel may order food that is delivered to their rooms

3.What is the purpose of the writer writing the article?

A.To describe the temperature inside a hotel.

B.To give information about an uncommon hotel.

C.To compare different kinds of hotels.

D.To encourage people to visit hotels.

New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact , they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.
The cost of shoing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.
A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse’s foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very storng. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses---for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.
One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and,as the puts it, “It’s a good way to make a living.”
【小題1】According to the reading passage, a blacksmith must be likely a______ man.
A.cleverB.richC.strongD.lucky
【小題2】James Corbin became a blacksmith because he__________.
A.was interested in horsesB.was needed by the policemen
C.drew a picture of the horseshoeD.had a make a living
【小題3】In the reading passage “to shape a shoe” is to__________.
A.fit it on the horse’s foot
B.use it for two or three hours
C.make the from of a horseshoe from a piece of metal
D.draw a picture of the shoe
【小題4】The best title for the passage is “__________”.
A.Policemen on HorsebackB.Blacksmiths and Horseshoeing
C.James Corbin, a BlacksmithD.Horseshoeing is a Good Way to Make a Living
【小題5】Which of the following is true?
A.Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.
B.New York is the only city in America to have some policemen on horseback.
C.Policemen on horseback enjoy travelling around the United States.
D.Policemen on horseback are less expensive than those in cars.
