Jeremy Savage, aged 17, and Ian Marshall, aged 16, went to the Rocky Mountains with their parents for the weekend. On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral Mountain by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. After three hours, they reached the top with no problems. However, trouble began when they started the climb down the mountain. On one very dangerous part of the path, Ian fell three metres off the side of the path. Jeremy was able to climb down to where Ian was. Ian was badly injured and could not move. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help, but he did not want to leave his friend. He used water from his own bottle to clean the dirt and blood from Ian’s face and hands. He tried to help Ian stand up, but Ian’s right leg was hurting too much. They had to wait and hope that someone would come and help them. When the boys did not return to the campsite that evening, their parents became very worried. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for the boys. As night fell, the boys were still missing. While they waited for help to arrive, Jeremy gave Ian his food and water and he let Ian lie on his jacket so he would be more comfortable. As the evening grew darker, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents, but he still did not leave. Jeremy thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone. The night was cold and windy, and Jeremy used his jacket and an extra shirt to keep Ian warm. At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him. So, they started the long climb back to their parents. Sometimes Jeremy carried Ian on his hack. Sometimes he carried him in his arms. Finally, after four hours, they arrived at the campsite where their parents were waiting. “I will always remember what Jeremy did for me,” said Ian. “He saved my life. That is the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend.” 【1】What happened to Ian on his way down the mountain? A.Ian fell three miles off the side of the path.

For most people, below-freezing temperatures generally put a stop to outdoor exercise, but Siberian native Boris Fyodorov is not most people. Minutes after the calendar ticked over to this past 2014 New Year’s Eve, Fyodorov set off on a solo, out-and-back marathon run from his home in the Siberian village of Oymyakon, completing the 26.2-mile course — his first marathon — in just over five hours. During the run he experienced temperatures as low as -38℃. And that was just the way he wanted it. “I heard about other marathons around the globe, naming themselves ‘the coldest’, like the most recent North Pole marathon with runners going at -28℃.” Fyodorov told the Siberian Times. “I thought surely this cannot be right. Our Oymyakon is the coldest inhabited place in northern hemisphere (半球). Why don’t we arrange a marathon here?” Oymyakon is widely considered to be one of the coldest places on the planet, and its record — low temperature of -68℃, recorded in 1933, is tied for the coldest recorded temperature for any inhabited place on Earth. The average January temperature in the area is -50℃. Not only did Fyodorov finish the marathon in high spirits, but he also wants it to be colder the next time he tries it. “I really want to organize the next Oymyakon marathon in January when the air goes down to -50℃ or -60℃.” he said. Fyodorov is not the first person to take on a cold-weather athletic challenge like this. In addition to the North Pole Marathon, taking runners on an out-and-back tour from Russia’s Bellingshausen Station, the Antarctica Marathon is held every year in late February. A second Antarctica event — the Ice Marathon — has been held at -80F degrees south since 2006. 【1】What’s the best title of the passage? A.Sports in cold areas of the world B.Freezing cold is not too cold for an ice runner C.The North Pole Marathon D.The Antarctic Ice Marathon 【2】What does Fyodorov think about the North Pole Marathon? A.It is not cold enough. B.The distance is a little shorter. C.The runners are too slow. D.It sets a new world record of marathon. 【3】Why did Fyodorov plan his marathon in Oymyakon? A.Because Fyodorov is more popular in Oymyakon. B.Because Fyodorov loves Oymyakon and plans to live there. C.Because Oymyakon is one of the coldest places in the world. D.Because Oymyakon has the best route for a marathon. 【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that . A.the North Pole Marathon is held in Russia every year B.the Ice Marathon is the biggest marathon in the world C.Fyodorov is planning an Antarctica Marathon D.similar marathons have taken place in cold parts of the world |

For the first time in Hong Kong's history, an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes, he is Chow Yunfat. The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience, students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed. On hearing about this, Chow said joyfully, "I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks(挫折), for they are the only way to success."

He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including "Shanghai Bund" (《上海滩》)and "A Better Tomorrow". Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards. In 1995, he went to Hollywood. Although he was already in his 40s, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world. In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as "Chow Yunfat Day." 【1】Chow Yunfat has been written into middle school textbooks mainly because .

One day he went out to a store with his mother and in the toy section he found a very cool toy car which could play different kinds of sounds that a car could make.

Adam was sad and wondered why his mother did not buy it for him, especially since that toy car was rather cheap. Two weeks later, Adam and his mother went to the same store again.
