"Today I will give you a special test," said the English teacher with a smile on his face.

All the students sat up straight and waited for the test to begin. The teacher began to give the test papers to all the students. After he finished handing out the test papers, he asked them to begin.

The students were very surprised to see that there was not a question but a black dot（圆点）in the center of the paper. The teacher noticed the students' surprise and said, "I want you to write about what you see there." At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students' answer sheets and read the answers. All of them described the

black dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said, "Here everyone only paid attention to the black dot, but no one wrote about the white paper." The whole class listened silently, because they were afraid to fail in the exam. Then the teacher said, "Don't worry about your marks for this test. I just want you to think about our life. The white paper is like our whole life and the black dot in the center of the paper represents （代表）problems in our daily life".

Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care. However, we just pay attention to the problems like illness and poverty, and never see happy things in our life. So we should try to solve our problems and enjoy each moment life gives us. ( )1. What was in the center of the paper?

When it comes to helping developing countries，we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals，buy food and medicine，or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However，it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.

A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer，which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference

is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily .As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries，the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.

This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr.Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year .The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet .These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately，but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.

Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. and probably in many other countries too，millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bad for the environment，so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time，We will reduce the waste we produce and help others .In other words ,we will be able to" kill two birds with one ”and that is always a good thing.

根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。

( )6.The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means。

A.吹风

A. will be damaged much easier than the normal one

B. has a special handle to access the Internet

( )8.According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?

A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.

B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.

C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.

D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the

children in developing countries.

( )9.Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to.

A .illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries

B. tell us what high technology can help people

C. show how to find business opportunities in developing countries

( )10.Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?

money at the problem.

schools and hospitals.

C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.

D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's

education immediately.

Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved reading crime and detective (侦探) novels, so I guess itwas pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career (职业) and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and studywriting, my parents told me that I couldn’t. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that Iwould achieve a career, and not something as risky as writing. I suppose I could have studiedjoumalism (新闻) ,but I didn’t want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise (妥协) , especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice: by the time I was twenty-five，I’d already finished two novels and had an agent.

To be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don’t know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance (浪漫) novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, “Well, if you think it’ll make me successful, okay,” I’d to tally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I’dwritten it - she even offered to lend it to me after she’d finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies, but I think my parents probably did me a favor: myteaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.

( )11. Hazel is probably________．

A. an agent

B. a journalist

C. a teacher and artist

D. a teacher and writer

( )12. The underlined words “is very big on ” in the passage most probably mean.

A. to give no advice

B. to like something very much

C. to have more experiences

D. to misunderstand something

( )13. It’s clear that Hazel.

A. agreed to studyjournalism for a degree

B. accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name

C. would like to write something for teaching

D. told her workmates about her writing novels

( )14. Hazel finally realized that her parents’ advice on her career was.

A. helpful

B. exciting

C. disappointing

D. risky

( )15. We can infer from the passage that.

A. Hazellikes showing off in public

B. Hazel’s students all want to write novels

C. Hazel’s agent has played a role in her success

D.older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel

There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, "What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely. "

The rose proudly said, "It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. "Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns （刺）! "

"What a proud flower! " thought the trees.

As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like "This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor ! "

The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, "God did not create any form of life without a purpose. "

Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt（枯萎）.

One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.

"The cactus has water?" asked the rose.

Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help. "

The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.

The rose learned a lesson and never judged (评价) anyone by their appearance again. ( )16. At first, _________ thought the cactus was ugly.

Dear Lily,

You asked me what I was going to do this summer holiday. To tell you the truth, I have decided to work for a children's hospital as a volunteer. I have been thinking about it for a long time and I believe it will be meaningful because I can try my best to help children in need. Besides, in my opinion, I am patient as well as passionate, and so are you. Being good with children is just a piece of cake for both of us. So why not join me? I believe we will have an unforgettable and precious experience there. What do you think of it?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours,

Ann
