I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket, whether it was for speeding, parking or stop sign violations (违反). It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club. I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work, I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it. The truth is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted (思想不集中的) that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail（尾巴） with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on. The policeman was rude and took my papers. Fortunately, I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before, there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”, I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road, perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call. People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it（为自己开脱）. Frankly, it never occurred to me. I felt sorry. Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there, as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy. 1. What is this passage mainly about? A. The writer’s most unforgettable experience. B. How the writer got her first ticket. C. An accident caused by the writer. D. Why the writer is always so careful. 2. The underlined part “the club” in Paragraph One here refers to __________. A. people who are crazy about driving cars B. a club for drivers without much experience C. people who get tickets for breaking traffic rules D. a club for people to talk about their driving stories 3. What made the writer unable to focus on her driving? A. Planning how to spend the vacation. B. Thinking of the forgotten vacation. C. Thinking about her work D. Missing her children. 4. When the writer received the ticket, she __________. A. felt lucky that she was an experienced driver B. was so nervous that she shook all over C. was ashamed（愧疚的）of herself for being distracted D. was worried about being laughed at

Going green seems to be fad（时尚）for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle. On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task. With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps. Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic（有机的）stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something non-green might be punished. Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet. 8. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Celebrating Our Green Year. B. Protecting the Planet. C. Keeping Open-Minded D. Going Green. 9. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.

What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year? A. They ignore others’ non-green behavior. B. They chose better chemical cleaners. C. They sold their home-made food. D.

In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual(个人), friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solution(解决方案) without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately(私下地), content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known. This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future. Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education. You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it. People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who can’t afford their medicine or a doctor’s care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother. 12. The helpers in the book “Magnificent Obsession” were not rewarded because ______. A. they hadn’t solved the problems completely B. they were friends of the worried individual C. they expected to be paid back in the future D. they had solved the problems secretly 13. The underlined word “pay it forward” means _______. A. to repay someone who has helped you B. to pay someone else who needs help C. to help someone else who needs help D. to help someone who has helped you 14. What does the writer suggest with the example of “your elderly grandmother”? A. We should learn to respect our grandparents. B. We should work hard to get a good education. C. We should never forget to repay people for their help. D. We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help. 15. From the passage we know_______. A. nowadays many people help others without being repaid B. more children need help than elderly people C. it costs a lot of money to “pay it forward” D. everybody needs help
