Just not a long time ago did I finish my blog about the unforgettable snowy storm that I had on Monday night in November. I got another big   36  in Seattle again. But this time, it's not snow, but the wind and rain. I have   37  seen such a strong wind before even though I had    38  the typhoon every summer when I was still in my home country.
That    39  storm was so powerful that it    40  the whole big Seattle area out of    41  . 700,000 people had no electricity, and    42  13 people have died. Seattle is famous for its evergreen trees, but those trees made a big   43  this time. They broke down the power line above the ground,  44  the road and streets, and    45  the houses.
As the last storm was still   46  in my mind, I had another personal   47  about this new storm.   48  , this time, it was not good either. I was    49  to have my TOEFL test on the second day of the stormy night. Since the whole city had no electricity, my test had to be    50  off, and I had to prepare for another one later. It was my last test for the   51   , and I already made a plan for the time after the test, but now    52  is changed.
I guess sometimes, the way that the thing    53  is not always what you    54  . And what I can do now is to fit for it.   55  , we got a free hotel room from my husband's cousin and met my lovely nephew from San Francisco.

Growing trees in the concrete jungle of Los Angels brings neighbors benefits beyond beauty.
As the  36 of TreePeople, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1973, Andy, now 54, has inspired hundreds of thousands of volunteers to  37 plant more than two million trees throughout Southern California.
Tree People 38 tools, blueprints, planting demonstrations, and tree-care supervisors free to all the participants,  39 me. “You will need their support,” Andy said, referring to my neighbors. “ 40 
the community behind you, the trees you plant will die in five years.” So I started knocking on doors, hoping to share  41 I’d learnt in Tree People’s seminar(培訓(xùn)班) about the critical role of trees in removing smog from the  42 , cooling our homes and preventing water runoff.
Strange  43 it may seem, some people are afraid of trees. “The roots destroy sidewalks,” one neighbor said, “  44 will ruin my pipes. And I don’t want leaves.” 45  told me.
When I called Andy about the  46 I was getting from my neighbors, he encouraged me to keep trying. So my son and my wife delivered cookies while I went door to door. It  47 us half a year to sign permission forms from 16 neighbors for 21 trees.
When the big day arrived, I was excited and  48 . What if I threw a planting tree and  49 else came? But as I set out shovels(鐵鏟), my son and wife made cakes and doughnuts,  50 started to gather. Friends brought friends. Neighbors came with cousins and grandchildren. A local middle school even  51 with half the seventh grade. More than 300 people joined us.
Then Andy led us in a  52 : welcoming each tree into the world and  53 it name. After the ceremony, as I shook hands with volunteers and my neighbors, I  54 help but feel we’d accomplished  55 great. After all, trees need people, and people need trees.

Nassar was __26__ to training only when she returned to her parents' home in Bethlehem, __27__ she did so only about every two months for two days or so. __28__ the pool is only 12 meters long.
“My parents and friends always __29__ me, reminding me that I had to keep training if I __30  wanted to go to the Olympics,” she said.
It was only when Nassar __31__ China a month ago that she finally got the opportunity to swim in a 50m pool and enjoyed the __32__ of having a coach.

      Ricochet, a 19-month-old golden retriever(金毛尋回犬), was bred(飼養(yǎng)) to be a service dog but never made it. Now, she has found her role in the ocean, surfing with a disabled teen.
      Patrick Ivison, 15, suffered a severe injury in a car accident when he was 14 months old. He has been disabled since, but the Californian boy never gave up on the goal of walking. He recently took his first steps. When Ivison first met Ricochet, the two immediately hit it off. To raise money for Ivison’s physical therapy(治療), which is not covered by insurance, it was suggested that the pair take up surfing.

With the help of his mom, Jennifer Kayler, and friends, who carry Patrick to the ocean and guide the extra-large surfboard into the waters, Ivison rides the waves with his pal standing on the back. “It’s kind of like a grand performance out there,” Ivison said of the group of people who help him out. The dog helps to balance out the board The teen remembered one pass when “we were about to flip over and then she stepped on that side of the board and helped us out.”
      The two participated Sunday in the Surf City Surf Dog contest as a fund-raiser(募集資金者). They wowed the cheering crowd during their exhibition. The event raised $8,200. About $2,000 will go toward a service dog for Ivison, and the rest will go toward his “Help Patrick Walk” therapy fund.

      Cole Bettles had been rejected by a number of universities when he received an e-mail from the University of California, San Diego, last month, congratulating him on his admission and inviting him to tour the campus. His mother booked a hotel in San Diego, and the 18-year-old Ojai high school senior arranged for his grandfather, uncle and other family members to meet them at the campus for lunch during the Saturday tour.
      “They were like ‘Oh my God, that’s so awesome (棒的)’, ” Bettles said. Right before he got in bed, he checked his e-mail one last time and found another message saying the school had made a mistake and his application had been denied.
      In fact, all 28, 000 students turned away from UC San Diego, in one of the toughest college entrance seasons on record, had received the same incorrect message. The students’ hopes had been raised and then dashed (破滅) in a cruel twist that shows the danger of instant communications in the Internet age.
      UCSD admissions director Mae Brown called it an “administrative error” but refused to say who had made the mistake, or if those responsible would be disciplined (受訓(xùn))。
      The e-mail, which began, “We’re thrilled that you’ve been admitted to UC San Diego, and we’re showcasing (展示) our beautiful campus on Admit Day, ” was sent to the full 46, 000 students who had applied, instead of just the 18, 000 who got in, Brown said.
      The error was discovered almost immediately by her staff, who sent an apology within hours.
      “It was really thrilling for a few hours; now he’s crushed (壓垮), ” said Cole’s mother, Tracy Bettles. “It’s really tough on them.”
      The admissions director said she was in the office on Monday until midnight answering e-mails and phone calls from disappointed students and their parents. She said she took full responsibility for the error. “We accessed the wrong database. We recognize the incredible pain receiving this false encouragement caused. It was not our intent.”
      小題1:How many students received an admission e-mail from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD)?
      A. 18, 000     B. 28, 000   C. 46, 000    D. 18
      小題2: Which of the following statements is TRUE about the wrong e-mail message?
      A.The mistake was made on purpose to cause pain among the applicants.
      B.It was UCSD admissions director Mae Brown who made the mistake.
      C.UCSD admissions staff got information from the wrong database.
      D.Staff did not discover the mistake until next Monday.
      小題3:The admissions director Mae Brown did what she could to __________.
      A.protect the person who made the mistake
      B.punish herself for the mistake
      C.make up for the mistake
      D.help the disappointed students enter the university
      小題4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
      A. Cole Bettles was admitted to the UCSD.
      B. Cole Bettles was rejected y a famous university.
      C. USCD admissions office often makes “administration errors”。
      D. False admission information raised the students’ hopes and then dashed them.

      科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

      One of the most widely accepted, commonly repeated assumptions (假設(shè)) in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight. I exercise all the time, but I still have gut fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise getting rid of it?
      It’s a question many of us could ask. More than 45 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study — the Minnesota Heart Survey — found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.
      And yet obesity (肥胖) figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?
      The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases — those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over-evaluated.
      “In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, exercise researcher at Louisiana State University. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser — or, for that matter, from magazines like this one.
      The basic problem is that while it’s true that exercise burns calories and that you must burn calories to lose weight, exercise has another effect: it can make one hungry. That causes us to eat more, which in turn can negate (使無(wú)效) the weight-loss benefits we just gained. Exercise, in other words, isn’t necessarily helping us lose weight. It may even be making it harder.
      小題1: From the passage we learn that ____.
      A.some Americans join a health club but never go there
      B.the number of overweight people has doubled since 1993
      C.more than 45 million Americans now go to the gym regularly
      D.Americans waste too much money each year on sports
      小題2: According to the passage, exercise ____.
      A.has long been believed to be good for older adults
      B.is not properly advertised as an effective way to lose weight
      C.was first recognized as an effective way to lose weight in the 1960s
      D.is less effective in preventing heart disease than what doctors believe
      小題3:According to the writer, people might gain weight because ____.
      A.they have the habit of going to the gym regularly
      B.they eat the same food when they do not exercise
      C.they exercise less than required by doctors
      D.they eat more after they exercise

      A.Overweight Is Not Good for Your Health
      B.Exercise Won’t Make You Thin

      A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts, he neglected (忽視) the elder son. It was completely puzzling (令人費(fèi)解) and no one knew why.
      When the boys grew up, they were asked to manage the father’s business. The elder son was absorbed in the business. From morning till late in the evening, he was busy working. Within a few years, he ran the business very well and even expanded (擴(kuò)大) it.
      What about the younger son? He didn't have much to do except have a good time. But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a successful businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.
      A few years later, the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, the younger son continued spending his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business. But the elder son’s far smaller share (份) of business had expanded and he had proved himself to be a good decision maker.
      Ashamed at the turn of events, the father met the elder son and was angry with the younger one. The elder son, who was listening to all this quietly, suddenly said he wanted to set up an independent business and live on his own.
      “Why?” asked the father.
      “I blame (責(zé)備) one person for the way my brother has turned out, and it’s not him. You can’t blame children for the faults (過(guò)失) of their parents, can you?” asked the elder son.
      小題1:Before the younger son went into the father’s business, he______.
      A.was interested in businessB.had achieved great success

      小題2: Why did the father treat the two sons differently?
      A.the elder son didn’t work hardB.no one knew why he did it
      C.the younger son was hardworkingD.he wanted to do an experiment
      小題3:Which is NOT the reason for the younger son’s going out of business?
      A.he himself didn’t work hard
      B.his father didn’t educate him properly
      C.he was not interested in business at all
      D.he was busy working every day
      小題4:What does the text really want to teach us?
      A.Parents are responsible for children’s development.
      B.Once something is done, you should do it well.
      C.Interest is the most important for success.
      D.One has responsibility for what he himself has done.

      What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.
      Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual(虛擬的)company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction(拍賣(mài))a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
      “We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work,” said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company.
      Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues(同事)used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.
      With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management.
      “They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job” said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
      The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
      As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently(高效地) as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies.
      “It makes the company more formal,” she said.
      小題1:The purpose of opening the company is to         .
      A.earn money for their education fees.
      B.spread love and culture with seeds.
      C.see whether they can open a company.
      D.collect money to open a Hope School.
      小題2:According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations?
      A.Communication skills and teamwork 。
      B.Creative and critical thinking.
      C.Educational back ground.
      D.Business theories.
      小題3:What does the word "it" (in the last paragraph)  refer to?
      A.Selling seeds.
      B.CEO.
      C.Every colleague's knowledge.
      D.To make her colleagues work efficiently.
      小題4:We can learn from the passage that____.
      A.the company is owned by 20 students.
      B.the company is over-night successful.
      C.the company sells fresh flowers and old books
      D.the company gets much help from other company selling seeds.
