First thing that passed through my mind was that it must be a misunderstanding, such a look was not meant for me, but later I saw the old lady’s face changing every time she saw me, at least seven times, no more doubt that she was very angry with me.I was confused, shocked, and near anger, my brains were spinning, trying to figure out h ow’s and why’s but somehow managed to not show it on my face. Went home, slept a night over it and decided that I have to find a way to break the ice with this lady.The very next day I bought some nice chocolate praying to see her again and when I caught sight of her, went straight to her and apologized telling her “I am so very sorry if I angered you, I had no such intention, please accept my apologizes”, and handled her the chocolate. Surprised, she told me not to mind her, and apologized too. It was an awkward moment, but we made peace and the grimaces换成embarrassment is/ are replaced by smiles now.I am very grateful for this experience, it shows me I still have plenty of work to do with my mind, I learned how it is not easy to take knowledge of, accept and forgive acts that we may feel as unfair, and it taught me of possibilities about fixing a conflict. Best advice to keep for myself? Do not react, do not be quick to judge, sleep it over, and throw in a pinch of empathy for self as well as others.（304词）24. The underlined phrase “out of the blue” in paragraph 1 probably means __________.A. unexpectedlyB. curiously。

The four animals bel ow are now in danger.Tibe AntetanlopseTibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually fo und in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, whic h is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get th e wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them befo re taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by ye ar. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down f rom a million 50 years ago.Golden MonkeysGolden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys hav e golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in grou ps of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They f eed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are d estroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboo s are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.ElephantsElephants are very big and strong .They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are gr ey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down bra nches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards e ach other and towards their neighbors. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young mal e elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 yea rs old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their li ving areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for th eir tusks.WolvesWolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have ver y good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves' food is various. T hey eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to eachother and never attack people. They do not kill for fun.

The first and earliest pap er cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Vo yo Woo, a Chinese immigrant（移民）in America, is trying to bring this art back to life.OneSaturday in 2014, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a sho pping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it. Ms Woo beg an to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China.

L ater, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America af ter she finished collage in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote（宣传）Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities.“It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is inte rested in it. Maybe it will make this art more popular.” Woo sai d.From the art of paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s life.

A team gets better. A kid practic es more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got m e thinking about change—in sports and in life.One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships(冠军称号).But his greatest accomplishment（成就）might have been how much he changed during his career. When he was young, Agassi was a show off who seemed to c are only about himself. He didn't train very hard, but he won m atches because of his tremendous（极大的） talent. Eventually, though, injuries and his bad attitude c aught up with him. He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to N o.141. So Agassi changed. He trained harder and became a world-class player again. More importantly, he changed as a person . He was nicer to fans and opponents（对手）. He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinki ng about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Found ation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even st arted a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Acade my, for at-risk kids.At the start of a new year, lots of people promise themselves t hey will change. They might vow to get in good physical shap e, do better in school or be nicer to others. Changes such as t hose can be difficult. But they do happen. Just remember And re Agassi: It wasn't easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.8. According to the writer, which of the following may be the g reatest achievement for Agassi?A. He once ranked No.1 in the world rankings.B. He wo n 60 titles.C. He changed much during his career.D. He won8 major championships.9.

What might be talked about in the paragraphs following thi s passage?A. What achievements Agassi has made after he changed for the better.B. How we can change for the better.C. Another thing happened in life that got the writer thinking about change.D. Some assessments(评价) about Agassi from different people.DLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use t hem on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also co nnect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want . Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college wi ll receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million comp uter program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "sp eak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is tha t students will be able to use computers without going to com puter labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees----anywhere at all! Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. Aslaptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can c onnect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students . State officials are also testing laptop programs at other unive rsities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use co mputers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are i n the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window o n the world. They can see everything and do everything." 12.

ATo me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? I'm not sure about it.Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”21. What does the writer say more about in the text?A. Life full of music.B. The importance of music.C. Life without music.D. The development of music.22. From the text, we learn that many people________.A. go to the concert instead of enjoying musicB. get along quite well without musicC. don't realize the importance of musicD. think music would be less exciting than films23. From the last paragraph, we learn that music________.A. is very necessary for our everyday lifeB. is very important, especially for childrenC. can make our life exciting and dramaticD. can enter another beautiful worldBOne evening I was going back from a supermarket. As I was approaching my car, I noticed that some person came and stood beside me. He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I thought that he would ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: “Your car is very nice”.After several moments of silence, I replied: “Thanks”, and then the inner voice told me, “Ask him if he needs help”. After a short hesitation(犹豫) I asked him if he needed any help. His response was astonishing. I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: —“Don’t we all?”It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, but I recognized that I needed help too. Then I opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day.Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money we have, we all need help. On the other hand, no matter how poor you are, how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others, you still might be giving. Even it’s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other persons.Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me to open my eyes, to show me that there is one thing, among all other values, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving.24.

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) ingood condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sport. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materi als. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.28.
