A
They're best friends. They go to school together every day. They often go to the shopping mall at weekends. Both of them have hair of the same colour, but one has big blue eyes and the other has deep brown eyes.
One of the friends, Jenny Siegle, is in a wheelchair. The other, Augie, is an amazing dog who helps Jenny. Jenny, who is 14 years old, is a quadriplegic(四肢瘫痪者), and that means she cannot use her arms or legs. Augie is a Freedom Service dog who is Jenny’s arms and legs.
How does Augie do this? In school, he picks up the pencil or notebook that Jenny drops. Jenny is also training Augie to pull off her jacket so Jenny doesn’t have to ask anyone for help.
At home, Augie brings her the newspapers. He even helps clean Jenny’s room. When Jenny asks him, Augie goes to get her parents or sister. Augie also carries his food dish back to Jenny so
she can fill it with dog food. Then Augie puts it back neatly in its place.
At the mall, Augie wears a pack that tells everyone he is a Freedom Service dog. When Jenny wants to buy things, Augie carries them to the counter(柜台). He gives the shopkeeper Jenny’s wallet and waits for the change.
P.J.Roche, who starded Freedom Service Dogs, says, “These dogs are social bridge. Kids who don’t know Jenny come up to talk to her because she has a dog.” Augie is truly Jenny’s best friend and helper and her bridge to the world.
( ) 1. Augie is _______________________.
A. a girl in a wheelchair B. Roche’s friend C. A helpful dog D. a shopkeeper
( ) 2. Augie does many kinds of things for Jenny but ____________.

D. children who don’t know Jenny come to talk to her because of Augie
B
What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work; others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100,a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive(积极地)attitude towards failure(失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
( ) 4. In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important thing in a person’s life?
A.Hard-work. B.Attitude C.Money. D.Knowledge.
( )5. According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to ________.
A.ask for help from others B.say your prayers to God
C.change your attitude D.try maths-solving methods
( )6. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.different attitudes come from different courses of life
B.mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life
C.failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude
D.none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more
C
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of talks through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so hard for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to give up climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life."
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.
( ) 7. The underlined word "crystal" in the passage means _______.
A. 岩石 B. 火焰 C. 水晶 D. 寒冰
( ) 8. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the father's words in the second
paragraph?
A. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.
B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.
C. You can find life is full of nice things.
D. Never give up half-way.
( ) 9. We can infer(推断) from the last paragraph that ______.
A. the writer was very successful in his life
B. the writer reached the top of the mountain
C. though the writer was young, he could understand his father
D. the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain
( ) 10. The best title for the passage is ______.
A. Reaching the Top of the Mountain B. Standing at the Top of the Mountain
C. Conversations between Father and Son D. How to Get to the Top of the Mountain

Dear Sigmund,
My name is Liu Hong. I’m a Grade 9 student in No 2 Middle School. My star sign is Gemini. Blue and yellow and my favourite colours. Now I have a big problem.
My parents are very strict with me. They hardly give me time to play. But I love cosplay very much. So I spend lots of time on it after school. Sometimes I don’t hand in my homework on time. Now my study is getting worse and worse. My parents and teachers want me to give up my only hobby. I don’t know how to deal with it. Can you give me some advice?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Liu Hong
