The Kentucky Derby is a horse race held every year in Louisville, Kentucky, United
States on the first Saturday in May. Here are some helpful suggestions for your first
trip to the Kentucky Derby!
Fashion vs. fort
In many ways, the Kentucky Derby is the world’s largest and most entertaining fashion
show, with impressive hats and clothes! You will be on your feet and walking a lot,
so pack a pair of fortable shoes to change into during the day.
Your Tickets
You MUST have your tickets in order to get through the gates. Please note the only
place that has official permission to buy and resell Kentucky Derby tickets is the
Kentucky Derby Tickets Exchange. Law enforcement officials will be on site to prevent

With over 14,000 employees throughout the track on Derby day, you aren’t too far
from someone who can help. If you cannot find an employee to help you, please text
the word HORSE to 69050 and you will be placed in touch with Guest Services.
Safety & Security
For the safety of all our guests, your bag may be searched by security. A number of

My writing career began ten years ago with my articles published locally and nationally.
As a beginning writer, I was happy to be on my way, writing and learning as much as
I could With two little kids underfoot, as well as working full-time, it was really
difficult to make time for writing, but I managed.
Readers told me they laughed, cried or were inspired by my articles. But they didn't
know what was really going on behind the typewriter. I was not a happy mommy, and
found it difficult to enjoy the everyday little things in life. In short, I was not
a happy person.
I realized I had to make some changes. I started walking every morning. It cleared
my head, allowed me time to think, gave me fresh air, and made me feel invigorated
(精神焕发) and healthy. I was eating wisely, and the weight started to go. I started
a new job, joined a monthly writing chapter,and was determined to keep up my walking.
Finding the balance was sometimes difficult. But I was determined to fit in writing
time because it made me happy. Sure I loved to watch the news and have my tea, but
that wasn't what made me truly happy.
My own happiness has shown through my family, my job performance and my attitude
towards challenging situations. I again have readers telling me the effect my writing
has had on them, with some able to get on with their own writing because of my articles.
It was up to me to make it happen—my own happiness. One step at a time-one word at
a time. And I did it.
24. What was a big challenge to the author according to the first paragraph?
A. Writing good articles. B. Doing well at work.
C. Finding time to write. D. Taking good care of children.
25. Why did the author start walking every morning?
A. To be physically healthy. B. To get back to happiness.
C. To have more energy for writing. D. To enjoy fresh early morning
air.
26. What can we know about the author from the text?
A. Her articles had a great effect on readers.
B. She wasn't interested in watching TV news.
C. She didn't enjoy making changes in her life.
D. She couldn't find the balance between work and life.
27. What do you think is the theme of the story?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Well begun is half done.
C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Happiness lies in your own hand.
C
I’m sure you know the song “Happy Birthday”. But do you know who wrote the song
and for whom it was written?
The retired professor, Archibald A. Hill in Lucasville, USA could tell us the
story. Ninety-seven years ago, two of Mr. Archibald Hill’s aunts, Miss Patty Hill
and Miss Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called “Song Storied
for the Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten
teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the
book. One of them was the famous “Good Morning to You.” The song said, “Good morning
to you, good morning to you, dear children, good morning to all.” This song was very
popular at that time among kindergarten children. But not many grown-ups knew it.
A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the
song “Happy Birthday” to the melody(曲调)of “Good Morning to you” to her little
nephew(侄子). She sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday
to you! Happy birthday, dear Archie! Happy birthday to you!
Miss Patty Hill and her sister had never expected that this song would bee
so popular, but it really did. People all over the world like the song because of
its simplicity in tune(曲调简单)and friendliness in words.

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from
my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We
were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around
to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again
the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried
very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving
I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places
I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to e
back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the
idea did not e to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really
lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite
know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more
plex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I
was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better
than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews
with Immigration officers(移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and
translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with pany representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all mon troubles go
away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give
up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though
it will not be that easy.
32. How did the author get to know America?
A. From radio programs B. From books and
pictures
C. From her mother D. From her
relatives

A. excited B. confused C.
worried D. amazed

A. often lost her way B. did not think about her
future
C. studied in three different schools D. got on well with her
stepfather
35. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
A. She worked as a translator. B. She attended a lot of job
interviews.
C. She paid telephone bills for her family. D. She helped her family with her
English

During the weekend I travelled by air the first time in my life. I generally travel
by train and bus. It is both cheaper and safe. But this was a short journey. In the
beginning that I did not feel very happily, but this feeling did not last long. The
journey was very exciting. I was soon high up in the sky among the cloud. The views
of mountains, fields and rivers were interested. I enjoy my short and fortable journey
very much. This experience has shown that travelling in air is actually the safest
way of make journeys.
