I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧场). He has let me use his ranch to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he told me his story. When he was young, his family was too 15 to have a house to live in. When he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 16 he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday 17 a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great 18 and he even drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class." Roberts went to see the teacher and asked, "Why did I receive an F?" His teacher said, "This is a(an) 19 dream for a young boy like you. Having a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There's no way you could ever do it." Then the teacher added, "If you will rewrite this paper with a more possible goal, I will reconsider your 20 ."
The boy went home and thought about it for a 21 and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, "Look, son, you have to 22 your own mind on this." Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no 23 at all. He told his teacher, "You could keep the F and I will 24 keep my dream."
Monty tells me this story because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of his 200-acre horse ranch. He said kids' dreams can be stolen. Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

Interviewer: Tracy Lester is with us in the studio. Welcome Tracy! We are all interested to know
about your life as a child actor. You're only fourteen years old—yet you are
10
already
famous.
Tracy: Yes. I'm really lucky to have a chance to do so many things that other young people
haven't yet.
Interviewer: So Tracy, the first question is-how old were you when you made your first movie,
peanuts?
Tracy: Well, I was only four-so I didn't have a big part-and that movie wasn't really successful.
Interviewer: So what was your first successful movie then?
Tracy: Chocolate Aliens. Did you see it?
Interviewer: Yes. My favourite scene was when you cleaned out the fridge for your mum, and you
found interesting chocolates in there.
Tracy: Yeah—that was a cool scene, wasn't it?
Interviewer: Have you appeared in any commercials (商业广告) yet, Tracy?
Tracy: Yes, quite a few. The last one was for a chocolate company. I love chocolate, but they

Interviewer: What a pity! Now, tell me about your latest movie—you haven't finished it yet. But do
you think you might win an award for this one?
Tracy: Oh, I hope so. But if I don't win this time, maybe I will some day. I'll continue to work
hard.
Interviewer: And one last question Tracy—I'd like to ask you if you enjoy being famous.
Tracy: That's a difficult question to answer. I'd like to tell all my young fans that it isn't easy
being famous. Mostly, I miss being a kid. So enjoy being a kid, and don't grow up too
quickly.
Interviewer: Thanks for coming, Tracy. You're a great kid. I wish you luck in the future.

(An excerpt of After Twenty Years)
There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking
10
along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.
“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.
The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have another dinner in it. Has the West been good to you?”
“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”
“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”
“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”
“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”
The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.
At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a policeman named Wells.”
31. Where did the story happen?
A. In a restaurant. B. In Chicago. C. In the West. D. In New York.
32. In which order did the following events take place?
a. Bob found out his new man wasn’t his friend.
b. The tall man gave Bob a note from Wells.
c. Bob waited at the door of a shop.
d. They had a talk about Bob’s life in the West.
e. The new man came to meet him.
A. c-e-d-a-b. B. e-b-c-a-d. C. c-d-a-e-b. D. e-c-a-b-d.
33. What can we infer (推断) from the story?
A. Time may change a good man into a bad one.
B. The police would make some notes on Bob.
C. Bob came from the far West to meet his friend.
D. They promised to meet each other 20 years ago.

D
Everyone has probably seen a movie or two about robots going against man. As a kid it was
interesting, but not a reality (现实). But today, when we look at how far scientists have come, it’s not just a funny thought but a real possibility.
Honda has already created a robot with eyes, legs, arms and hands and it can act just like a person. There is no end to what a robot could do in the future. Just think what we can do in twenty to thirty years. We’re dealing with almost completely new types of human-like robots that could be cleverer than us. Can we continue to use these robots in a way that they serve us, or will they become so wise that they will want independence (独立)?
I am really not sure just how far scientists are going to perfect robots. But once this type of robot is made, they will be able to think, make decisions, sense the movement of others and decide what it wants to do.
A new invention has led to the introduction of a female robot, which was introduced at an entertainment show in Vegas. The robot called Roxy sells for between seven and ten thousand dollars. It is built to accompany (陪伴) females. This female robot companion (伴侣) is called true companion and you can find such robots on the Internet. Robots used to have limited uses, but now they are almost in every field. This has opened the door to many dangerous possibilities in the future.
34. Why does the writer mention movies about robots?
A. To prove robots can go against man.
B. To lead to the topic of the passage.
C. To show that robots are liked by film makers.
D. To show that people are interested in robots.
35. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A. There is an end to the development of robots.
B. Robots will look exactly like human beings soon.
C. Robots may be able to do anything in the future.
D. Human beings don’t know what kind of robot they want.
36. According to the writer, a perfect robot ____________.
A. will surely go against human beings B. will always serve human beings
C. is still not as clever as human beings D. can think as human beings do
37. It is implied (暗示) in the passage that the writer worries that __________.
A. Robots have limited uses B. robots may be hard to control
C. robots may be harmful in the future D. human beings cannot create a perfect robot

We usually have a good mood if we sleep enough at night. Otherwise, sometimes we will feel sad.
What's more, sleep also influences our study or work.
You might be asleep but part of your brain is not. It's carefully keeping time for you. In the morning,
a thing called PER is released (释放), which slowly wakes you up, often right before your alarm clock
is set to go off. Sleep-talking can include some broken noises or complete sentences. About 5 percent of
adults do it. It happens to children more often. And fever, stress, worries or sadness may lead to it.
Most people grind (磨碎) their teeth while they are asleep, at least sometimes. An unusual bite or
even sleep apnea (窒息) may lead to this habit. Most people aren't aware (意识到的) of this until the doctor tells
them. If you harm your teeth at night, your dentist can give you a mouth guard to prevent
10
it.
You think you're resting, but your brain is doing some serious housekeeping every single night.
While you are asleep, your brain clears out some memories and organizes others again. The brain also
cleans itself and moves away unnecessary and harmful things.
Your muscles (肌肉) are frozen for part of every night. In fact, it's okay to be paralyzed (瘫痪的)
during sleep. During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, your brain is busy dreaming. To prevent
yourself from acting to the dreams, our body's muscles will be paralyzed. It's possible to wake up during
the end of this cycle and be awake but unable to move. These usually pass quickly.
Each night you lose about a pound because of the water vapor (蒸汽) while breathing. So it is the
most pleasant for you to weigh yourself in the morning. Take advantage of it!
What our bodies are __________ (52) with at night
Importance of sleep
Sleep influences our work, study as well as our moods.
Keeping time
& talking
● PER can often slowly wake you up right before the alarm clock.
● Fever, stress, worries or sadness can __________ (53) sleep-talking.
Grinding teeth
Most people don't ____________ (54) this until the doctor tells them.
Cleaning your brain
The brain cannot only clear out but also organize some memories.
Getting paralyzed
● You don't act to the dreams while being paralyzed.
● It's okay for muscles to be paralyzed, but it won't _____________ (55) long.
Dropping pounds

One possible version:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am glad to share my opinion with you. I would like to recommend Chinese paintings as a gift because Chinese paintings have a long history. What’s more, they are quite different from the ones in the US. Foreign friends can learn more about Chinese art from them.
The second gift I want to recommend is silk scarves. Silk is a symbol of our great culture and popular among Chinese people. It feels very soft and comfortable. Why not buy them some silk scarves?
I believe the exchange students will like the two gifts and always remember the moments with us.
