Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in, and jumped. Then it was Millie’s turn. She watched the rope go around and ar ound, but she didn’t move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.Millie’s friends cheered. “Go, Millie, go!”Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.Just then, Ms. Miles, the PE teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.“Let’s see how long each one of you can jump without missing,” she said as she gave each student a short rope, “Ready, set. Go!”Millie smiled for the first time ever in PE class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quickly to herself.After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, “Go, Millie, go!”She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!41.Which word is the opposite of the underlined word frowned?A.Sat.B.Hid.C.SmiledD.Cried42.What problem did Millie have at the beginning of the story?A.She didn't have any friends in her class.B.She felt sad because Nick made fun of her.C.She didn't know the cheers that the other kids knew.D.She didn't know how to start jumping with a long rope.43.Why did Millie smile for the first time in PE class?A.She did something well at last.B.She knew the class would cheer for her.C.She thought that she was going to make a friend.D.She believed that she would be the winner of the contest.44.Which sentence can be put in the empty?

What about your chair, or your fridge? Possibly they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”. The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it ’s a remote control or a washing machine.So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people ’s faces and has an infrared sensor(传感器), so even if it’s dark i t can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who ’s there. If the person is someone you don ’t know, it can tell you that, too.But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don ’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2015.So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.46.What does the article mainly talk about?A.Advantages of living with the InternetB.Disadvantages of living with the InternetC.The coming “Internet of things”D.The impossible “Internet of things”47.Which of the following does NOT belong to household objects?Millie was nervousabout jumping. She tried the long rope but failed. Ms. Miles brought out short ropes. ?A.A chair.B.A washing machine.C.A dog food bowl.D.A post office.48.Which of the following can support the idea “ how will household objects connected to the Internet work?”A.A warm chair connected to the InternetB.Dog food bowls connected to the InternetC.A remote control made by the Samsung CompanyD.An Internet-connected camera with an infrared sensor49.Paragraph 5 is mainly about ______.A.the possible problems of “the Internet of things”B.the problems with early connected-home objectsC.how to get different new machines working togetherD.ho w to solve the “the Internet of things” problems50.Which of the following words best describes the writer’s attitude（态度）in the article?A.Doubtful（怀疑的）B. HopefulC.HumorousD.Worried四、词汇与语法运用（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）A)根据中文意思写出单词。

After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smart phones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier （供应商）of 5G.But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The USA government ordered a ban（禁令）on its sales in America. America officials said Huawei gace information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the USA government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.“We have never received such request from Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “The ban from the USA would have little influence on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only 4000 yuan at then beginning, but now it has become a ＄100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.”Facing the ban of USA, Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smart phone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple declined. So far, Huawei has grown in to the world’s largesttelecommunications equipment（电信设备）supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest phone in the near future.38. Why did the USA order a ban on Huawei?A. Huawei refused to supply services to the USA government.B. They did not want Apple to sell parts and services to Huawei.C. The sales of Huawei in America were growing faster than Apple.D. They thought Huawei collected information for the Chinese government.39. What can we know about Huawei from Ren Zhengfei’s words?A. Huawei isn’t influenced by the ban at all.B. Huawei has got into the system of the USA.C. Huawei can solve the problems they are facing.D. Huawei is asked to supply information to Chinese government.40. What does the underlined word “declined” mean?A. smoothed outB. spread outC. went downD. went up41. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Huawei will grow slowly.B. Huawei is full of hope.C. Huawei’s sales will be doubled.D. Huawei is the largest smart phone maker.DFor some Chinese high school students, passing Gaokao is the final goal of their careers. They believe that once they enter college, life will be easy. However, getting a college degree will soon require more efforts than before.According to a document released（发布）recently by the Ministry of Education, it will strengthen measures to control the quality of higher education. For example, college students who failed exams got another chance to pass them before graduation. Many colleges did this so that more students could receive diplomas（文凭）. However, the new document says this practice will be banned.Such loose（宽松的）policies led to many students skipping class and getting themselves in video games, reported China Youth Daily.“The assessment standards in universities aren’t very high,” Sang Guoyuan, a professor of education at Beijing Normal University, told The Economic Observer. “Many poorly performing students are given passes by teachers as long as they attend classes.”As a result, Chinese universities have relatively high graduation rate compared to Western ones. According to a study released by Xiamen University in 2016, among 820 universities in China, both the average graduation rate and the average degree awarding rate had reached about 97%. However, the average graduation rate of top US universities only reached about 89%.Xiong Bingqi, chief director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, told China Daily, “US universities keep students under competitive pressure by giving them challenging tasks.”Chen Xiao, a researcher at Beijing Normal University, hopes the move will improve the quality of higher education.“A quite common phenomenon in the past was children studying hard in primary schools, middle schools and high schools, but playing hard at college because they thought they had finished the hardest part of their lives,” Chen told China Daily.“Now it is much better, with colleges strengthening the quality of higher education. But more still needs to be done,” Chen added.42. How will Chinese education change, according to the article?A. The Gaokao exam will be more difficult.B. Students who skip class will not receive diplomas.C. College students will have to work harder to earn a degree.D. College students who fail an exam will not receive diplomas.43.

On your way to a soccer game, it’s easy to take a cold one out of the fridge, right?But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels（矿物燃料）. In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other country in the world, about 29 billion water bottles a year. In order to make all these bottles, 17 million barrels（桶）of crude oil are used. That's enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.Americans drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but that’s not true. In the United States, local governments make sure water from the tap is safe. People love the convenience（便利）of bottled water. But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a steel container instead of a plastic bottle.Plastic bottles pollute the environment but recycling can help—instead of going out with the rubbish, plastic bottles can be turned into useful items. Sadly, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as rubbish on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate under the ground.Betty Mclaughlin, who runs an organization called the Container Recycling Institute, says we should try using fewer bottles: “If you take one to school for your lunch, don't throw it away—bring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day. Refill a bottle as many times as you can before you recycle it.”Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-wat（瓦）light bulb for six hours.46. Which one is NOT the reason why Americans like bottled water?A. Because it is cleaner.B. Because it is cheaper.C. Because it is healthier.D. Because it is easier to take with.47. In Paragraph 2, how does the writer support the fact?A. By giving numbers.B. By telling reasons.C. By expressing opinions.D. By discussing problems.48. The word "disintegrate" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.A. turn into rubbishB. become usefulC. break into piecesD. mix with water49. Which of the following is an opinion?A. American buy the most bottled water in the world.B. Bottled water is much better than out of the tap.C. Only one of the six bottles is put into the recycling bin.D. 17 million barrels of oil are used to make bottles a year.50. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this article?A. To tell us to give up bottled water.B. To tell us to save natural resources.C. To tell us to protect the environment.D. To tell us to reuse and recycle plastic bottles.四、填空(1’*20=20’)A）根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。

Forty-year-old Earl Brown was waiting for the train at the subway station in New York City. His two sons, aged five and eight, were with him at the time.Suddenly, a sick young man fell down on the platform(站台). The man, 24-year-old James Wilson, got up,but then 16 again --- this time, onto the track(轨道) between the two rails. A train was coming into the station. It was a 17 moment, and an accident seemed to be about to happen. The young man’s life was going to be in danger if the train did not stop. Everybody on the platform was very worried about the young man as his life could be gone in a few 18 .But Mr. Brown stayed calm. He looked at the man, and looked at the space that the man was in. It was about half a meter 19 . He thought to himself, “The train is going to travel over the man. If he trie s to get up, the train will definitely kill him. However, the young man will be OK if he lies on the ground and doesn’t move.” At this time, Mr. Brown knew he had to make a tough 20 , and it would be very important for this young man. Without further hesitation( 犹豫), Mr. Brown jumped onto the track. He 21 on top of Mr. Wilson, and kept him down on the ground inside the subway track. The train driver saw both of them. He was terrified, but there was no way for him to 22 in time. The train travelled over the two men before it was finally stopped.The people on the platform were shocked to see what had happened. When Mr. Brown heard them shouting, he shouted, “We’re fine, but tell my sons I’m OK.” People on the platform clapped( 鼓掌) and cheered their 23 they were amazed at Mr. Brown’s courage and bravery. Subway staffs helped the two men walk out of the track safely. An ambulance( 救护车) arrived and took Mr. Wilson to the nearest hospital. Luckily, there was nothing serious with him.In a radio interview, Mr. Brown was asked why he was so brave when the accident happened. He 24 said, “My coat got dirty but that’s it.” He added, “I’m not a brave man and I was terribly afraid of it too. I just saw someone who needed help at that time.

He found a new kind of dog food.BAfter releasing a short video on April 27th about planting and cooking peas,Chinese food blogger LiZiqi witnessed gad her followers on You Tube go beyond 10 million. This puts Li, who is famous for short videos recording her traditional lifestyle in China's countryside, among the list of the most popular Chinese-language content creators on the Internet. she was surprised by how foreign netizens were attracted by her works.“What I present is is just a lifestyle I've long followed and enjoyed," she said.Maybe it's also what many other people have valued. Li’s YouTube videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province. In the videos, Li, often dressed in beautiful traditional clothes rises at sunrise, rests at sunset, plants seeds and harvests flowers, cooks Chinese dishes and makes bamboo furniture.Unlike many other food bloggers, Li’s vi deos set China’s countryside as the stage and start with how the foods are planted and harvested in the farm.She rarely speaks in the process. Li's overseas followers have praised her videos for showing the amazing pictures, simple and elegant side of China's rural life."In the countryside, planting flower, vegetables and trees is not difficult. There are difficult parts of rural life of course,but I didn't put them in my videos," the blogger said."Most people today are facing huge stress in work and life,so I hope they can feel relaxed when watching my videos."( ) 28. On April 27th, Li Ziqi put her short video about how to on the Internet.A. plant and cook peasB. dress in nice traditional clothesC. make bamboo furnitureD. plant seeds and harvest flowers( ) 29.Li is different from other food bloggers because .A.she gets lots of help from her grandmotherB.she begins with harvesting food in the farmC.her voice attracts netizens around the worldD.her videos are all filmed in the countryside.( ) 30. Li’s short videos show the viewers a lifestyle.A. stressfulB. difficultC. hard-workingD. relaxingCIn the most southern part of our planet, there's a place that's covered with snow and ice all year round.But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky.Thisplace is Antarctica(南极洲): the coldest,windiest and harshest(恶劣的)place on the Earth.As the world's least-known place,Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world.In 1983,China joined the Antarctic Treaty(《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica.They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views.However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen(速冻) food which can be heated easily is people's daily food.Fresh vegetables are bard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome.In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March.During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create "night".Working in Antarctica is dangerous,especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的)winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. I t can easily blow people away.So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations.People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.What's more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate.If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’ passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.( ) 31.From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica .A. is covered with snow and iceB. rains heavily from time to timeC. has little wind most of the timeD. has sunshine during every night( ) 32.Scientists from China go to Antarctica to .A.find out ways to control water pollutionB.research climate change and marine biologyC.grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD.stop the hunters from killing the marine biology( ) 33.We can replace（替换）the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with .A. strong loveB. full preparationC. pleasant introductionD.amazing imagination( ) 34. The passage is mainly about .A. view of the AntarcticaB. exploring the AntarcticaC. how to survive in the AntarcticaD. climate changes of the AntarcticaDEvery kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child-pretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become“kidults”(kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(附属品).Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure child-likeemotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学) of Foreign Studies.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with, “Greenhalgh said. ( ) 35.Why does a kid wish to be an adult?A.Because he wants to be independent.B.Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.C.Because he wants to experience the real world.D.Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.( ) 36. What can we infer from the passage?A.Some Kidults refuse to grow up.B.Some Kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.C.Some Kidults think childhood is the best time of their life.D.All Kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life.( ) 37. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that .A.it can make adults face the real social lifeB.it can make our society young and full of lifeC.it can increase the sales of child ren’s booksD.it can lead to harmonious relationship between adults and kids( ) 38. In the opinion of the Professor in a Korean University, kidults are .A. Immature(不成熟)and weakB. necessary to our societyC. looked down uponD. getting more and moreEP hyllis Wheatley is regarded as America’s first black poet. She was born in Senegal, Africa in about 1753 and brought to America at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave ( 奴隶) market in Boston in 1761. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley’s twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston.Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis Wheatley’s education. Phyllis soon showed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics. At the age of thirteen, Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation (引起轰动的人物) after she wrote a poem on the death of the preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common to read Phyllis Wheatley’s poetry in polite society. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis Wheatley’s poems, but once they heard she was black they weren’t interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775, Phyllis wrote a poem about George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors (恩人) died in 1777 and in 1778, Phyllis was feed. She married in 1778, and had three children But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty in 1783.( ) 39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Those days the black were looked down upon.B.Phyllis read a lot of books when she was young.C.Phyllis didn’t move away from Boston until she got married.D.Phyllis Wheatley’s first poem interested and excited the public.( ) 40.

She died young.B. She got a good school education.C. Her first poem was published in London.D. She was regarded as a poet after being freed.FMany of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential (潜在的) dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms (节奏) of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax a nd is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime.“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis,” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine.” If somethin g unusual happens - if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock - you can be alert (警惕的), even though the intensity (强度) of the stimulus is quite low.”More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution (进化), and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have e ver had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.( ) 42. What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A.A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B.Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C.Brain activities affected people’s sleep in a new environment.D.The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.( ) 43. What was found out about the volunteers?A.Their left brains were more active on the first night.B.Their right brains became more active as days went by.C.Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D.They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.( ) 44. What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?A.The bad sleep experiences people have had.B.The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.C.The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D.The strangeness of the things that people come across.( ) 45. What do the researchers think of “first night effect”?A.It has evolved as a way to protect us.B.It’s a characteristic that animals don’t have.C.It’s completely different from the way animals sleep.D.It helps people to get used to new environments quickly.第II 卷(主观题共55 分)四、词汇(共15 小题;满分25 分)A)根据音标或者汉语提示，补全单词，使句子完整正确。

It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of every life since(自从)the18th century(世纪). Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely(完全地) different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life. As a result(结果)，many stories are about some kind of danger and seem(似乎)to be “bad “news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents(事故).Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer(更喜欢) to read stories about people, places and events(事件) in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.31. According(根据)to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place oh foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.. Er They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.32.

You often play football with your friends after school.B. Your teacher has got a cold.C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught.D. The bike in the front of your house is lost.35. Which of the following is Not True of this passage?A. News stories on the front page of every country are always the same.B. People like to read interesting and unusual news.C. Not only TV but also newspapers can help people to learn what is happening around the world.D. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years.CMark was walking home from school one day. He saw the boy in the front drop all of the books he was carrying, with two sweaters, a basketball and a Walkman. Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things, As they walked, Mark knew that the boy's name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was havingtrouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited(邀请) in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, then Mark went home. They often saw each other at school, had lunch together once or twice, and then they both finished middle school. They endedup in the same high school where they sometimes and talked with each other over the years. At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day? "asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker(锁柜)because I didn't want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother's sleeping pills(药片)and I was going home to kill(杀死)myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.36.
