On the first day of school, all the excited students walked into the room expecting to start: everyone but David.
He had had a hard summer. His father was in jail (监狱). His mother had to work nights, so she wasn't at home in the evening and was sleeping when he woke up.
As the weeks went on, David slowly gave up doing his homework and staying on task, and began to get into more troubles out on the playground. He was going downhill quickly. It was clear that he was looking for any kind of attention—even if it was negative. I also knew that he was not getting much support at home. If David was going to pass the fifth grade, I need to come up with a plan.
One day, David and I sat in the library and just talked. I told him that I knew that he was not an “F” student and that I was not going to let him fail. It was my job to teach him, but his job was to try. We talked about home and what he did after school. He knew what I expected him to do and that I respected him as a person. As a result, his behavior in my room improved. From then on David and I periodically sat in the library and just talked. He told me that his goal was to pass the fifth grade and not be suspended (停学). Finally, the last day of school arrived. David had met his goal.
During Teacher Appreciation (感谢) Week, the students had written about any teacher they wanted. In my booklet, on a wrinkled piece of paper, it reads. “You never give up on me and focus on the silver lining because you know I am smart. And for that I not only appreciate you, but admire you”, signed David. After reading that, I sat down with tears rolling down my face. We, as teachers, never know when or how we affect our students. But it's the note like this that makes all we do worthwhile.
【1】According to the passage, we know the writer is_____________.
A.talented B.brainless C.patient D.selfish
【2】Why did David like to make troubles in school?
A.Because his father was put into prison.
B.Because he was disappointed to the society.
C.Because he was laughed at by classmates.
D.Because he wanted to attract attention.
【3】Which of the following quotes can express the writer's feeling?
A.Teachers appreciate being appreciated, for teacher appreciation is their highest award. —William Prince
B.Teach the children so that it will not be necessary to teach the adults.—Abraham Lincoln
C.What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.—Karl Menninger
D.The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.—Plutarch

The sun is going to expand into the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will result in the entire Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world?
This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing (逃离) the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country's most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.
The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.
“What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spiritual core ( 核 心 ) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories.”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
【1】The main purpose of the opening paragraph is to .
A. give a brief account of the film B. warn people of the coming threat
C. explore ways to avoid the disaster D. introduce the topic of the passage
【2】The underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refers to .
A. fleeing the Earth in spaceships B. bringing in huge success
C. filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies D. helping Earth make its escape
【3】Which of the following is unlikely to account for the success of the film?
A. The rich imagination of the story. B. Hollywood-style space stories.
C. The special cultural background. D. The time chosen to release the film.
【4】What is likely to be title for the passage?
A. Chinese Sci-fi Catches Up B. The Most Successful Chinese Sci-fi
C. Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path D. Chinese Sci-fi Challenges Hollywood

Recently,people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). 【3】 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery.

In much of Asia, especially the stalled “rice bowl” cultures of China, Japan, Korea, 【1】 Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
