The summer I turned 16, my father gave me his car --- a gift wasted on me at that
age. The important thing was that Hannah and I could drive around.
Hannah was my best friend, a year younger but much taller, almost five foot ten. "
Hannah's a knockout, "my mother always said. And that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.
A month after my birthday, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we stopped at the McDonald’s drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to
share. "Let’s ride around a while, "I said. It was a clear night, full moon slung(悬挂)low over the desert. Taking a turning too fast, I plowed (撞)through a neighbor’s wall and drove into a full-grown tree.
We were taken in separate ambulances.I’ｄcracked(使裂开)my cheek bone;Hannah’s forehead had split wide open. End of her modeling career.What would I say to her?
When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry. She sat beside me and took my hand.“I rear-ended(追尾) my best friend when I was your age, ”she said. “I totaled her car and mine.”
“I’m so sorry，” I said.
“You’re both alive，” she said.“ The rest is window dressing. I forgive you.
Hannah will too.”
Sharon’s forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughout high school
and college, to be at each other’s weddings … The scars are so faded no one else would notice, but in the sunlight I can still see it just below her hairline --- for
me, a mark of grace(优雅).

Microsoft PowerPoint is the world’s most common presentation tool. It emerged from software company Forethought Inc in the 1980s. Bob Gaskins was the man behind it.
“I knew in the early 80s that there were as many as a billion, a thousand million presentation slides being made per year just in America,” Gaskins says，“but they were all made by hand and almost nobody was using computers to do them.
“It was clear to me that here was a huge application worth billions and billions
of dollars a year that could be done on computers as soon as there was a revolution in
the kinds of computers that we had.”
Gaskins was onto something, but it was a hard sell at the time. The software wouldn’t run on any existing personal computers. Anyone wanting to use it had to buy
a new machine. Even so, people bought personal computers for the first time in order
to be able to use PowerPoint, says Wired magazine journalist Russell Davies.
Davies explains that before PowerPoint, people used slides to convey information
to groups --- but anyone creating a presentation had to send away to get their materials made. It took a long time to do, was difficult to make changes and because
it was so expensive, only the most senior people in an organisation got to do it.
“ PowerPoint，” Davies says，“made it possible for everyone in an organisation to
stand up and say their piece.”
PowerPoint has helped turn us all into presenters --- but it’ s also been accused
of over-simplifying ideas and distracting (干扰)us from clear thinking.
Sarah Kaplan is a management professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. She has noticed that, rather than people asking for new analysis
or insights in meetings, they were asking for more PowerPoint slides.
Kaplan says that some CEOS, such as Amazon’ｓJeff Bezos, have banned its use. “He felt, and I think many people feel, that PowerPoint became such an object of the
process that they lost the ideas inside of it and that is the risk.”
28. What drove Bob Gaskins to develop PowerPoint?
A. His personal needs at the office.
B. The support from Forethought Inc.
C. The great potential market demand.
D. His interest in science and technology.
29. What was the problem with Bob Gaskin’ｓ PowerPoint in the 1980s?
A. It was very expensive.
B. It was very difficult to use.
C. It couldn’t t be used on old computers.
D. It c ouldn’t satisfy young people’s needs.
30. What might be Russell Davies’s attitude to PowerPoint?
A. Critical.
B. Appreciative.
C. Cautious.
D. Contradictory.
31. Why does Jeff Bezos ban the use of PowerPoint?
A. It fails to solve practical problems.
B. It fails to convey messages effectively.
C. It makes something valuable unavailable.
D. It results in creative thinking getting ignored.
D
Naturalist John Muir called the Marin County woods named for him “the best tree-lover's monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world.”
Located only 11 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge near San Francisco, California, USA. Muir Woods puts some of nature's most huge creations within reach of
little feet, hands, and imaginations.
“Muir Woods is home to a small forest of redwood trees that reach to the sky,” says David Shaw of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. “Redwoods grow taller than any other tree species in the world. The average age of the redwoods here ranges
from 400 to 800 years old and many ancient specimens have been around for more than a
thousand years.”
William Kent, the man who donated the 295 acres to create the Muir monument, grew
up in Marin and played in similar redwood forests. That childhood experience inspired
him to save the redwoods as an adult.
“Young people can learn about young William Kent when they visit here，”says ranger(护林员) Timothy Jordan. “Kent’s early connection with nature developed his love of the outdoors. As an adult, he witnessed the destruction of many Bay Area redwood forests. This, with the writings of John Muir, inspired Kent's conservationism.”
Walking (and playing)in, on, and around the redwoods will help kids understand why
young Kent was so fascinated(深深吸引) by the trees. Ranger Jordan encourages children
to lie down and look up at the treetops, hug a redwood tree, and start a nature journal like John Muir.
“Have kids find a redwood spray(小树枝)the same age as them, count the rings in
trees, and sit inside of a hollow redwood tree on Fern Creek.” he advises.
After all the interaction, the kids just may be ready to rest. Take this time to
“be quiet and listen to the sounds of the forest,”says Shaw. "Encourage kids to think about how these trees have stood quietly through year after year of rain, sun,
and sometimes even snow.”
32. What do we know about Muir Woods from Shaw's words?
A. It is America s largest redwood forest.
B. It has redwoods of a very great age.
C. It receives child visitors only.
D. It is home to many rare trees.
33. Which was one of the reasons that Kent wanted to protect the redwoods?
A. He had an unusual adult life.
B. The Golden Gate Bridge was constructed.
C. He was inspired by the works of John Muir.
D. The redwood forests attracted a lot of young people.
34. What are children advised to do when taking a break in the forest?
A. Experience Muir Woods silently.
B. Look for special redwood sprays.
C. Sit inside of a hollow redwood tree.
D. Write a nature journal like John Muir.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To remember a famous naturalist.
B. To discuss the protection of forests.
C. To share knowledge about redwoods.
D. To introduce a famous redwood forest.

It's very common these days for people to take some sort of regular exercise each week. But if you've never done it before, what's the best way to go about it? 36
He or she will create a personalized plan for you based on your aims.
However, each hourly session can be steep considering you have to pay both the
personal trainer and membership of the gym, too. So what's left? Well, if you have the
courage to do it, you can make your own plan. It's relatively easy to do if you have
the know-how. 37
First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down or increase your
abilities? Whatever it is, make sure the things you choose to do are achieving that goal. Next, do your research. 38 Watch as many of these as possible, but make sure to be a little critical of them --- everyone has a different physique and what works for one may not work for another. Finally, keep your feet on the ground. 39 It takes at least three months to see any realistic body changes. And don't be overzealous(过度热衷的) --- never work in pain --- a good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. Pain means you are damaging yourself.
If nothing else, focus on calisthenics (健身操). 40 Do as many of one exercise as you can without stopping, and then try and repeat that number twice more -
-- make sure you sweat, and don't forget to rest for a minute in between each activity!
A. Be patient with yourself and set realistic goals.
B. But before you do, here are some basic pointers.
C. Well, many people make use of a personal trainer.
D. They just don't want to design their own workout plan.
E. These days, social media is full of fitness videos and advice.
F. Find a way to make each exercise more difficult as you get in shape.
G. These are the basic body movements which everyone can do anywhere.

Great to see you! I’m Jody, and I'll be looking after both
of you for the first month you’re working here at the Amersham Theatre. I’ll tell you something about the theatre now.
As you can see, we’re carrying out a major redecoration at the moment. We’ve had to postpone installing an elevator because
of the budget. The seats were very close together, and
we’ｖe replaced them with larger seats, with more legroom. This means fewer seats in total. We try hard to involve members of the
public in the theatre. We have a bookshop, which specializes in
books about drama, and that attracts plenty of customers. We’re looking into the possibility of opening a cafe in the future. Then there are two large meeting rooms that will be decorated next month.
Now I want to tell you about our workshops. Our lighting workshop has already started, with g reat success. We’re going to
start one on sound next month. A number of people have enquired
about workshops on make-up, and that' s something we’re considering for the future.
Standing here in the entrance hall, you’ll notice the manager’s office at the end of the corridor. The dressing room
is the first room you come to on the right-hand side. And finally,
for the moment, the room where I’ll take you next –the relaxation room. So if you’d like to come with me ...

Dear Jack，
I am delighted to know that you've been admitted into Harvard University. You have been working hard for this over the past years and your efforts have finally paid off. Congratulations!
To be honest, I plan to study at one of China’s top
universities when I graduate from high school. I have prepared for a long time. However, with the college entrance exams drawing
near, I suddenly find myself losing confidence and feeling afraid
that I might fail.
Have you ever doubted yourself too? I would appreciate it if
you would give me some advice on how to deal with my present situation. I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
