A teenager and his family have been praised as heroes after rescuing five children from a fire. Mathew Robinson, 18, his mother and his father rushed to help when a neighbor’s home went up in flames. Jackie Robinson, 40, climbed a ladder to pull 12-year-old Tamara Barlow and her 16-month-old brother from their first-floor bedroom. Mathew went up the ladder and into the smoke-filled room to save two more children after their 16-year-old sister Charlotte climbed down.
Last night, fire fighters said one or more of the children would almost certainly have died had it not been for the Robinsons. However, Matthew denied they were heroes. He said, “Anyone would have done the same thing. I was in the right place at the right time.”
The fire at the home in Dorset, began around 9:30 p.m. On Sunday night. The Robinsons heard the children’s mother screaming “Get them out”. Matthew rushed through the front door, but was beaten back by flames. After his parents helped three of the children down the ladder, he climbed into the bedroom to get the others.
“Being in the room full of smoke, it was impossible to see anything. I had to feel my way round the room, trying to find the two kids and get them to make some noise, so I could find out where they were,” he said. “The boys were in a pretty bad state, and almost passed out. They were unable to say anything.”
Steve Isaac, station manager at Weymouth Community Fire Station, said, “There was some very, very quick thinking on the part of Matthew and his father Jackie. They showed great bravery and helped save some lives. Normally we would never encourage people to go into a burning building but, on this occasion, it all worked out well.”
1. How many children did Matthew’s father save?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
2. What made the Robinsons aware of the fire?
A. The flames of the fire. B. The smell of the smoke.
C. The sound of the fire alarm. D. The shouts of the children’s mom.
3. What’s Steve Isaac’s attitude towards the family’s action?
A. Admiring. B. Doubtful. C. Interested. D. Indifferent.

Ho Khanh is a middle-aged farmer, living in a village on the edge of Phong-Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Vietnam. What is special about him is that he has discovered Son Doong, the largest cave in the world.
“I first found the cave more than twenty years ago, in 1991,” he says. “I was out collecting firewood [Z-x-x-k.Com]near the national park. My family were very poor, so I decided to go deeper into the forest to find some aloe (芦荟), which is very valuable. Not many people went that far into the forest because they were afraid of the wild animals.”
Soon Khanh lost his way. “I sat down with my back to a huge round rock,” he says. “Then I heard the sound of a strong wind and running water coming from behind me.” He found the entrance to a huge cave, with a wide river coming out of it. Khanh thought he was walking into a great cave. With no ropes or lights, he did not go further into it.
Khanh’s story spread like wildfire, but not everyone believed him. “I wanted to prove that I was telling the truth, but I couldn’t remember the way to the cave.” Then one morning early in the winter of 2006, a group of cavers from Britain came to ask Khanh for help, as they had heard about his discovery fifteen years before.
Khanh agreed to help the team to find the cave, but after three days in the jungle (丛林) , they lost their way. “I just couldn’t remember where it was,” he says. The team came back twice, but each time they were beaten by the thick jungle. Finally the cavers left.
In 2009, Khanh headed to the jungle one cold winter’s morning. “I stopped by a big round rock,” he says. “There was the same strong wind, the sound of water running----I knew I’d found the cave at last.” Soon the British cavers returned and followed Khanh on a six-hour trip deep into the jungle. On April 14 they found Son Doong.
4.How did Khanh discover Son Doong?
A. By accident completely. B. By following wild animals.
C. Through ropes and lights. D. With the help of British cavers.[Z-x-x-k.Com]
5.How long did it take Khanh to prove he discovered Son Doong?
A. About three years. B. About fifteen years.
C. About eighteen years. D. About twenty years.
6.What did the British cavers think of Khanh’s story?
A. Doubtful. B. Reliable. C. False. D. Ridiculous.
7.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. there is little water in the Son Doong
B. there is a lot of aloe in Son Doong
C. there is a huge rock at the entrance to Son Doong
D. there is the largest national park near Son Doong

A Bite of China, a mouth-watering late-night documentary(纪录片) television series about Chinese food, has attracted countless viewers, and moved many to tears. It became popular immediately after being shown, and has made viewers go beyond thinking about food itself.
From its very beginning, A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food. “The scenes of digging for bamboo shoots (竹笋) , hanging hams, catching fish using a net, opening a steamer filled with white steamed buns (馒头) , and pulling wheat into thin noodles move us to tears. What a lovely China!” a viewer said.
It is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the perspective（角度）of food. The touching documentary reminds some people of their mothers, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious work. Some people see patriotism(爱国主义) in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.
How did this documentary achieve a huge success in such a short time? “it is not just about
China’s splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus touching the hearts of the audience,” an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to (归因于) honesty and reality. Nowadays, many works of art that have high investment（投资）, high technology, and magnificent scenes lack nothing but honesty and reality.
It is said that Americans like to shoot science fiction films because they have no history, while Chinese like to shoot time-travel dramas to the past because they have no future. It may not be true, but it has raised a thoughtful question. Works that are created behind closed doors and fail to reflect reality or that only focus on the luxury lives of a few people and ignore ordinary people’s desire for proper food and clothing will not touch people’s hearts. A Bite of China shows that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited, and that even a completely commercial (商业的) program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.
“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food,” said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince（使…信服）others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is [Z-x-x-k.Com]the “secret” for making this documentary so popular.
8.A Bite of China moves us to tears because ____________.
A. China is lovely
B. foods on the show are delicious
C. it shows the lives of the ordinary people
D. it reflects hard life in every way
9.Compared with other works of art, A Bite of China ___________.
A. has higher investment B. lacks honesty and reality
C. is just a TV program D. is closer to reality
10.Which expression from the passage tells us to treasure food?
A. What a lovely China!
B. From its very beginning, A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food.
C. The emotions of ordinary people should be exhibited.
D. Every grain comes from hard and laborious toil.
D
The holidays are a time for embracing (拥抱) tradition. No matter what that means for your family and [Z-X-X-K]friends, here are some tips for celebrating a truly traditional Christmas.
1. Serve home-grown food
11 If you have done some canning or freezing this year, made homemade jams or jellies, or grown various types of vegetables, now is the time to serve them up at your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner,
2. Do some baking
You can get creative with the types of things you bake, such as cookies, pies or cakes.
3. Help those in need
One holiday tradition is to take a little time to do something special for someone who needs help. Find some elderly people in your neighborhood and ask them what they need. 12 Ask your friends and family if they know anyone who could need some kind of help.
4. 13
Instead of running around and facing all the crowded stores and last-minute shoppers, start your planning early. Don’t wait until two days before Christmas to get what you need. If you decide on gifts several weeks before the holiday, you will be more likely to sit back and enjoy the festivities when the time comes.
5. Schedule relaxation
No matter how busy you are, it is a good idea to plan on setting time aside just to relax. You could schedule a message on the weekend, or start going to a yoga class. Try using some aromatherapy(香薰疗法) products, or some of the specialty items like nature alarm clocks or tabletop water fountains that can help you relax because of the soothing (抚慰的)sounds they make. 14
6. Decorate like the old days
You can do research on the Internet about the types of traditional styles of holiday decor that date back to hundreds of years. 15 From wall hangings to table decor, you can find some unique ideas to dress up your home that you can probably make yourself.
A. You may even think about getting some stress-relief products for someone you know.
B. Perhaps you can drive them to the store, or do some shopping for them.
C. Spread cheer
D. A thoughtful way to make your holiday dinner table more traditional is to serve a few
home-grown foods.
E. Then you can find ways to recreate olden-day decor in your living room this year.
F. Avoid the rush
G. Christmas is one of those holidays that just seems to be filled with cheer and wonder.

Love is a hot topic, but what is love? Here is a story.

Their way of life, rather than only a game, 19 their love, which not everyone is 20 enough to experience. They 21 hands every chance they had, finished each other’s sentences and went to 22 together.
But things are always not that perfect. There was a dark 23 in their life: my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease was first 24 ten years earlier.

Later she got even worse, but they 27 went to church every morning. My grandmother grew steadily 28 until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. For a while, Grandpa would go to church alone, praying to God to 29 his wife out. However, the day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was 30 .
31 , in yellow, was on the pink ribbons of my grandmother's funeral bouquet(花束). As the crowd thinned and the last mourners(追悼者) 32 to leave, my aunts, uncles, cousins and other
family members came forward and gathered around Grandma. Grandpa stepped up, taking a shaky 33 , he began to sing to her. Through his tears and 34 , the song came, deep and slow.
