I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者)last summer. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading. My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build herself-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before. As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did. 【小题1】According to the text, Marie is a woman who ___________. A. has three sons B. has good memory C. has difficulty in writing D. has difficulty in walking around 【小题2】After getting help from the author, Marie felt ____________. A. shy B. proud C. confident D. peaceful 【小题3】What did the author get through the program? A. Some beautiful presents. B. A sense of achievement. C. More confidence and knowledge. D. More ways to help others. 【小题4】What can be the best title for the text? A. A Woman Who Lacked Self-confidence B. The Literacy Volunteer Changed Our Lives C. A Challenge during My Volunteering Work D. The Volunteering Work Benefited Both of Us |

Five eggs the size of Ping-Pong balls crack open as the tiny desert tortoises inside break through the shells. The two-inch-long babies immediately crawl off in search of flowers and grasses to eat. These animals may be newly hatched, but they already have survival skills that will allow them to thrive in their severe and hot habitats. Desert tortoise live in the deserts of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. During the summer, ground temperatures in parts of their range can hit 140oF. To beat the heat, desert tortoises use their strong forearms and tough nails to dig underground holes where they can hide from the sun. some of these tortoise tunnels are up to 32 feet in length. And the holes can get pretty crowded. As many as 25 desert tortoises might stay together in one shelter. The animals also dig grooves(沟)into the ground’s surface to catch rainwater. After a storm, they’ll return to these holes to drink the water that’s collected inside. Once it has had a good drink, a desert tortoise can go up to a year without requiring fresh water again. The tortoise stores the water it has consumed in its bladder and can later absorb the liquid when it needs to hydrate. Despite sometimes hanging out in holes together, desert tortoises are pretty solitary. And sometimes when males come across each other, they’ll fight to establish governance. The fighting tortoises may use horns(角)on their chests to try and knock each other over. The contest ends when one animal turns over the other on its back. The losing tortoise can turn right side up by wiggling(摆动)its body back and forth until it flips(翻转)over. But after that, the tortoise knows who’s the boss. 【小题1】What do the desert tortoises’ babies mainly eat? A. Insects B. Small animals C. Their mother’s milk D. Flowers and grasses 【小题2】The underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. play B. fight C. grow up D. hang out 【小题3】How do the desert tortoises fight the summer heat? A. By drinking much water B. By staying under the tree C. By digging enough grooves D. By living in the underground holes 【小题4】What do we know about the desert tortoises? A. They use their holes to save water B. They fight mainly for the opposite sex C. They can survive without drinking water for a year D. They usually live in the northwestern United States |

I’m written to tell you something I don’t think is good. Recently I have noticed very many of my classmates often go to the Internet bar near our school. The other day, I go there, too. I was very shocking to see many students playing games there. In my opinion, the Internet bar should be a place that we can find much useful informations. The Internet is good if we make well use of it. Otherwise, it will do we great harm. So the local government should take measures make sure that the students use the Internet bar correct. Yours, Li Hua |
