阅读理解 David Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team. In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds Untied. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals. His goals made him a household name.

阅读理解 In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University to study law, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how busy I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo--a joyous zoo. Not surprisingly, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams. （1）When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be______. A.a writer B.a teacher C.a judge D.a doctor （2）Why did the author quit school in her second year of college? A.She wanted to study by herself. B.She fell in love and got married. C.She suffered from a serious illness. D.She decided to look after her grandma. （3）What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5? A.She was busy but happy with her family life. B.She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons. C.She wanted to remain a full-time housewife. D.She was too confused to make a correct choice. （4）Which of the following can best describe the author? A.Caring and determined. B.Honest and responsible. C.Brave and sensitive. D.Independent and single-minded.

After dinner, you take your plates to a box next to the sink. You don't have to clean them, your machine does. It produces new plates every time you need to eat.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Your Teen Is Falling Asleep in Class Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time. This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school.    ． When a teen falls asleep in class, two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect of the teacher. He/She may also receive a consequence (后果) from the school, depending on the classroom discipline (纪律) policy.    ． To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class, try these three tips： Set a time for “lights out” on school nights. This is never be any later than 10 p.m. and preferably 9 p.m.    Soft music can be on and used to help calm your teen. Help your teen develop a night­time routine that involves activities that slow them down for the end of the day.   Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.     This will reinforce (增强) what it feels like to be rested and capable of achieving what he/she wants. A. What's worse, they may even fall asleep in class. B. Taking a bath and reading are two activities that work well. C. Set a good example and show him/her your love for learning. D. Point out the positives after your teen has had a good night's rest. E. “Lights out” means the computer, television, lights and cell phone should be off. F. All of these things affect your teen's academic success and can be avoided. G. While your teen keeps his/her goals in line with your expectations, he/she may have his/her own goals.
