Ronny looked like every other kid in the classroom where Ivolunteered as the Reading Mom. However, he had a speech problem so hecouldn’t 11 like other kids in his grade.I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny’s 12 , I’d give him a silent smile, that’s why he sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that ___13_____ had ever seen.I watched his fingers move 14 under each letter as he struggled* to read out. Every time he 15 to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread acr oss h is face and his 16 would shine with pride, which broke my heart each and every time.A few weeks 17 the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony*. I presented Ronny with a book written by 18 . A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I 19 Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap.

Do you know that’s his first book he’s ever actually owned?”Deeply moved, I walked 21 Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?” For the next few minutes, he read to me more 22 than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read 23 times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “ 24 good book!"At that moment,as a writer, I knew I would get 25 about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does — care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.11.

A“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear suchdiscussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students tostudy abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Theirforeign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. St udents must spend a lot of time learning another language.Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and do with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden* to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth?We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese coach. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.26.

You should be more careful with the idea of studying abroad.C. Liuxiang is a good example of studying in America and China.D. Studying abroad is a good way for students to improve living skills.BThink of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. Youname them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be broken and never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How ? Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special. Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. It's a treasure you can always carry easily. Don't use time or words carelessly. You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery*, andtoday is a gift; that's why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.　29.

Treat Your Life in a Right WayB. Glass Balls Are Easy to Be BrokenC. Things You Can’t DoD. Nothing Is ImpossibleCIndian scientists have designed a new device* that they hope will solve one of the biggest problems with the use of solar energy. They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal “branches*” which are just from a tall pole at different levels. Each branch holds a solar panel*. These panels have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.Daljit Singh Bedi is the main scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in India. Bedi says the shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do. This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy. “It takes about four square meters of space to produce energy which may need 400 square meters of space,” he says.Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to powerfive homes. The solar tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homesin cities. The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. Bedisays solar trees will collect more energy than normal solar panels on the tops ofbuildings. “This design makes the solar panels exposed* more towa rds thesun,” he says. “And that way people are able to use 10 to 15 percent moreenergy.”India has promised to reduce its greenhouse gas production. The country’s promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy. The cost of solar panels has gone down in recent years. This has increased the possibility of applying*solar trees in India.Amit Kumar is the senior director of the Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi. He says gaining access* to land takes time and increases costs. He adds that it is still not clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are. “Only when we put those trees on a large scale* will we be able to get that answer,” he says.33. We may probably read this passage in ___________.A.Culture ViewsB. Nature and ScienceC.Story BooksD. Travelling Guide Book34. Compared the traditional system, the main advantages of the solar tree is _____________.A. we can see many “branches” in new solar treeB. it surely produces more energy than traditional systemC. it’s reducing India’s more greenhouse gas production nowD. fewer and fewer people will use it than traditional ones35. What does the underlined word "this" in the fourth paragraph refer to (指代)？A. greenhouse gas productionB.the solar panelsC. the new solar treeD. country’s promise36. In the last paragraph, what do you think of what Amit Kumar said?_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________DFew of us have heard of Nils Bohlin, but whenever we take a car journey hisinvention makes us safer. Found in almost every modern car, the three-point seat beltreduces our chances of death or injury* by at least 50% . While feeling thankful to thise ngineer from Volvo, you may also wonder how he came up with such a great idea.Having worked as a plane designer before, Nils knew clearly that the pilots werewilling to put on anything to keep them safe in an accident, but to his surprise, most people in the cars just didn’t want to be uncomfortable for even a minute. To improve the safety for people in the cars, he decided to find a perfect system which should be simple, effective and convenient. In the end, he invented the three-point seat belt, which has been considered as one of the greatest inventions in history.Seat belts prevent people in the cars from serious injury in five ways.Keep people inside. People who are thrown out from a car are four times more likely to be killed than those who stay inside.Protect the strongest parts of the body.

Seat belts spread the force of the accident over a wide area of the body. By putting less stress on one area, they can help you avoid serious injury.Help the body to slow down, A quick speed causes injury. With the help of the seat belts, your body can have more time to slow down in an accident.Protect your brain and spinal cord*. These two key parts injuries may be hard to see immediately, but they can cause death. Therefore, it’s of great importance to protect these parts.It takes only a few seconds to buckle* up once you get in the car, but this s imple action could save your life. Why wouldn’t you?37.
