The story told to all American children about honesty is about the cherry tree that President George Washington cut when he was a boy. In China, every child knows the story of Lei Feng , the young soldier who helped others and was very honest. The stories of George Washington and Lei Feng help us understand the importance of being honest.
Every teacher wants his or her students to be honest. If every student can be honest in their childhood, they will be honest when they become adults. The country will then be known as an honest country and it will be respected by everyone.
Usually, it is the father and the mother who give the first lessons of honesty. George Washington learned honesty from his father.[KS5UKS5UKS5U]
A favorite Chinese story is about a young man who went to the market to buy food for his mother. There was a very young girl there who was selling flowers. The young man stole one flower when the girl served her customer.
When he went home, he began to think what he had done. He went back to the market to find the girl. He told her that he was sorry and that he wanted to pay her for the flower. The little girl refused and said, "You do not need to pay for the flower, elder brother. Since you took it, I thought you had a
reason to take it so I did not worry about receiving money for it."The young man was ashamed that he stole the flower. He could never forget about the importance of being honest.

Typing with one hand when the other one is occupied can be a real pain, so imagine having to type with just one foot. It’s got to be a nightmare, but 21-year-old Hu Huiyuan from China’s Anhui Province is using her only functional foot to write not just a few sentences, but an entire fiction novel!
Born prematurely(过早地),Hu was diagnosed with cerebral palsy(脑瘫)when she was only 10 months old. This left her permanently paralyzed—the only parts of her body she can move are her head and left foot. As she grew older, she learned how to perform everyday tasks using her foot.
Despite not having received formal education, Hu is surprisingly well-spoken. Over the years, with the help of her mother, she taught herself to read and write. “I’m not a genius, but I’m very focused,” she said, modestly. “When I watched TV in my childhood, I often learned words on the screen.”
“When I was teaching her how to speak, I had to repeat every single word a thousand times before she got it, ”Hu’s mother said. “But once she mastered the word. I felt satisfied.”
With time going by, Hu’s language got so proficient that she set out to write a story about the pursuit of dreams and love. She’s doing this by typing out every single word on her computer using only one foot.
In spite of all these setbacks, Hu is able to type 20 to 30 words a minute. She has already written six chapters—that’s 60,000 words—and says she only has two more chapters to go before the novel is complete.
25. According to Hu Huiyuan, she learned to read and write well because_____.
A. her mother taught her B. she often watched TV
C. she concentrated on what she did D. she had a gift for language
26.What do you think of Hu huiyuan’s mother?
A. She was very clever. B. She was very patient.
C. She was very strict. D. She was very worried.
27. What does the underlined word “proficient” most probably mean?
A. skillful. B.interesting. C. enough. D. satisfying.
28. How many chapters does her book consist of?
A Two. B. Four. C. Six. D. Eight.
C
The concept of good manners varies a lot when we compare different cultures, values and ways of living. However, when we talk about the western part of the world, the differences are not so big. In my opinion, going to a restaurant in Brazil will rarely be an embarrassing situation. But there are some basic and necessary rules of etiquette(礼节)that Brazilians usually respect every day. They are:
●Being on time is polite, but it is not a strict rule in Brazil. Being late for up to 15 minutes probably will not make a Brazilian angry.
●When you go to a restaurant, be careful to greet the people who work at the place, and don’t forget to greet the people who are already waiting for you at the table. It’s not necessary to hug or kiss everybody if they are already seated.
●You can ask somebody about how the food is prepared and also about prices or tips if you are not sure about them.
●Before they start eating, Brazilians usually say “born appetite” to their friend
●You should never talk to another person while you still have some food in your mouth.
●Making noise while eating is also considered really rude. Avoid doing it.
●Be careful not to put your elbows on the table while eating. It is not terrible, but it can be considered a little bit rude by some people.
●Don't worry about the time. Usually people in Brazil stay seated for a long time, especially when they have interesting things to talk about.
●It’s not necessary to talk in a really low voice because people there usually talk in a little loud voice. But please, don't exaggerate.
●Finally, saying“ thank you” and “bye” are always seen in Brazil.
29. According to the writer, the concept of good manners in western countries is_______.
A. quite different from each other B. not easy to tell
C. not quite different D. exactly the same
30. From the first paragraph we can know that ________.
A. there are many rules of etiquette for you to remember if you go to a restaurant in Brazil
B. it may easily get you into trouble if you go to a restaurant in Brazil
C. it won’t get you into a difficult situation in a restaurant in Brazil if you follow some
necessary manners
D. it is unnecessary to remember the rules of etiquette before going to a restaurant in Brazil
31. According to the passage, it is impolite in Brazil to _________.
A. talk with your mouth full B. talk in a bit loud voice
C. ignore time while chatting D. ask the prices of food
32. It can be inferred that in Brazil__________.
A. being late usually annoys the hosts
B. guests usually hug or kiss the hosts when going to a restaurant
C. it is bad manners to talk over meals
D. you’d better not ask your host how the food is prepared
D
Of all nature 's disasters, forest fires are often considered the most frightening. Moving at lightning speed, huge walls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes. And although technology, including the use of fire-retardant chemicals, has greatly helped the fight against forest fires, they still do great damage.
According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96. 385 fires and 9.873429 acres affected by fire in a year that was125% more destructive(毁灭性的) than the10- year average. These fires cost the federal government ＄1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.
Fires in the southern states represented half of the national total last year with Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to a usually high amount of activity. Wildfire has also taken place in Western states such as California, Colorado and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.
It is said that two-thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people. Almost one quarter are purposely set, while lighting causes 10%.
Forest fires can have advantageous effects. Charcoal(木炭)enriches soil and some plant species(种类) grow well after fire. The cones of the jack pine tree, for example, will not spread their seeds unless there is heat. Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas after fire.
33. Forest fires are considered to be the most frightening because____.
A. fire-retardant chemicals can't be made use of
B. huge walls of flames can burn acres of land
C. they make the greatest loss of all disasters
D. they spread too fast and do great damage
34. Almost 25% forest fires are set_____.
A. unexpectedly B. by lighting C. on purpose D. naturally
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The advantages of forest fires. B. The usage of charcoals.
C. Pine trees need fires. D. Fires destroy all plants but two.

We face problems in our everyday life. They can be social problems, relationship problems, or problems at work. Don’t worry. 36
●Be aware of problem
First of all, it is important to know and understand the problem clearly. 37 Following questions like why, what, how, when, where and who will take you to the root cause of the problem.
●Analyze the problem.
Analyzing the problem will give you time to think of a proper solution. 38 They can be diagrams, or lists, etc.
● 39
Leave out the information that isn't required for the solving of the problem. You need to be accurate with the details. Keeping the unrelated information can sometimes complicate the simple problem as we don't notice the important information.
●Carry out the solution.
Putting the solution into effect in a correct way to get the result expected is important while solving a problem. 40 Being ready with alternatives is also important in case a solution works only halfway.
A. Remove unrelated information.
B. You can use various tools to study the problem.
C. Use yes or no questions to get better information.
D. As long as you are breathing, you can solve problems.

serious illness. The doctor said he would die before he was 23.

the best you can.”
