With great excitement and interest, he went to work, hoping that his piece could be hung in a window. The stained glass had four different pieces that had to be put together, and two of them broke while he was making them. The other two were lovely pieces of child’s art, and he was very excited to see them hanging in our window.The pieces remained there for some months. One day my son’s piano teacher came to our house, which was unusual, to give him a lesson. Without much care or thought, the teacher said to my son that he admired the glass. As soon as his lesson was done, my son ran out of the room, took one of the pieces down, and gave it proudly to his teacher.A few months later, we had a friend visiting us, and she expressed admiration (赞赏) for the remaining piece. Well, guess what happened? My son quietly took it down and gave it away too!I was shocked by the spontaneity (自发) of his giving, hugged him close, and told him how proud I was of his big heart.Two years later I finally found another one of stained glass sets, and surprised him with it.1.

Stained Glass GiftsB (难度:★★)Besides the millions of sites to visit and things to do, the Internet offers lots of ways to get into trouble. Just as in the real world, some people you meet online might try to take advantage of(利用)you.The key is to keep yourself safe while online. Remain anonymous (匿名的). That means keeping your personal information secret. The people and companies you can trust will never ask for your personal information online. So if someone does, you must be careful.Think carefully before you create an email address or screen name. Web experts suggest that you use both letters and numbers. In chat rooms, use a nickname (别名) that’s different from your screen name. So, if you want to stop an uncomfortable conversation, you can leave and don’t have to w orry that someone knows your screen name or follow you through email.Experts suggest that people keep online friendships in the virtual world. Meeting online friends face to face carries more risks than other types of friendships. You can not see or talk with them in person, so it’s easy for them to pretend to be something they’re not.If you ever get involved in a chat room conversation that makes you feel uncomfortable or like you might be in danger for any reason, leave immediately and tell your parents or other adults right away so that they can report the conversation.5. Why do web experts suggest using both letters and numbers to create an email address?A. It makes a conversation more comfortable.B. You can exit if you don’t w ant to talk.C. Email addresses can be guessed from screen names.D. You will not waste a lot of time chatting.6. Meeting online friends has more risks because ______.A. it is difficult to keep online friendshipB. they will learn your personal informationC. the information others give you may mislead youD. you may feel uncomfortable in a conversation7. The passage mainly talks about _______.A. how to be safe on the Internet for teensB. how to stop an uncomfortable conversationC. how to create a safe email addressD. how to keep online friendshipC ( 难度:★★★)The word success means different things to different people. For example, Hector may think success lies in helping others by developing a new medicine to cure a disease. Laura might regard success as being a sports star, while Roz thinks of good g rades at school when she thinks of success. They’re all correct. Success includes all these things, and more.American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson described success as, "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and stand the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because youhave lived. This is to have succeeded."Many people consider success as "bigger, faster, better" as in: bigger house, faster car, or better school. Is that really success? Adding to the happi ness and success of others is an important part of anyone’s personal success.In my opinion, success is learning how to set and achieve goals, how to think of your progress toward reaching them, and the importance of helping others. It means avoiding excuses , taking responsibility (责任), and learning how to overcome (克服) difficulties. Success lies in answering "yes" to this question: did I give my best effort today?This is your life, and these are your goals! Try to achieve them as possible as you can.8. Hector, in the first paragraph, is probably a _______.A. sportsmanB. studentC. nurseD. scientist9.

To take the responsibility of winning awards.C. To work as a ping-pong coach in a school.D. To set a goal and to play as hard as possible.10. What is the passage mainly about?A. The nature of success.B. How to help others succeed.C. How people succeed.D. The relationship between success and goals.D (难度:★★★★)A project called the World Community Grid(世界公共网格) has found a way for computers connected to the Internet to help solve humanitarian (人道主义的) problems. The World Community Grid uses both public and private computers for humanitarian research.Scientists at the University of Washington, for example, are using the technology to study ways to improve the nutritional (营养的) value of rice. Another research project supported by the World Community Grid is studying ways to make drugs for the disease AIDS. Yet other projects are studying cancer, or climate change in Africa.The IBM Corporation started the World Community Grid more than two years ago. Stanley Litow, who heads community relations for IBM, says that anyone in the world with a computer connected to the Internet can join the project. V olunteers download a program from the World Community Grid website, and the program uploads(上传) results, or downloads information that needs to be processed (数据处理).To this point about one million personal computers in one hundred countries have joined the World Community Grid. Mr. Litow hopes that another million computers will be added. Then, he says, the World Community Grid will become the world’s largest computer, and be able to do many projects every year.Any researcher can use the grid’s computing power, but all findings from the studies must be made public. Mr. Litow says not only is the technology free, it will also lead to more knowledge and valuable scientific discoveries.1. Why did the author write this passage?A.
