The youngest of five children in a poor family, Clara Barton was born on Christmas Day 1821 in Oxford. Before the Civil War, Clara’s most famous achievement (成就) was the establishment (建立) of a free public school in New Jersey. Her only medical experience before the war was when she cared for her sick brother for ten months.

During the war, Clara soon devoted herself to saving the wounded soldiers who needed medical supplies. Because of her successful operation, she was praised by the U.S. general, William Hammond, and was allowed to travel with army ambulances.

For the next three years, Clara traveled along with the army operations throughout Virginia and South Carolina. In addition, she also formed a program at Camp Parole, where she attempted to find any soldier who was missing in the war.

Upon the war’s end in 1865, Clara set up an information center to aid in locating missing soldiers. Meanwhile, she made lectures quite frequently, and as a result of exhaustion (筋疲力盡), three years later in 1868, she suffered a breakdown and went to Switzerland to recover. Clara Barton was truly a great American who devoted her life to human beings.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 has set new nationwide and global box-office records for ticket sales in its opening weekend. The final part of the Harry Potter series is creating the perfect storm of record-breaking box-office sales. Before this movie, The Dark Knight held the opening weekend record. The Dark Knight actually sold a few more tickets. But with 3D and IMAX ticketing as well as the passion of fans who have waited for a long time to see the ending of J.K. Rowling’s brilliant story, the final Harry Potter movie was going to be hugely successful, no mater what.

And as if film-makers were magically able to save the best for last, critics(評(píng)論家) completely agree that The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is the best film of the entire series and there has been little negative(負(fù)面的) to say about the performances of the film’s stars. When they were 10 or 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have grown up on the big screen. They grew in their character as the story was told through the years.

As the story draws to a close, the final Harry Potter film is set to break the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. And even though the film series is finally over, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter will live on in different forms of merchandising (附帶產(chǎn)品), including major theme parks, action figures and almost certainly, various versions of the story.

1.According to the author, we know Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2________.

A. was expected to be very successful in making money

B. The stars have done a very good job.

C. The stars haven’t made a breakthrough

D. The stars did much better before.

3.In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?

A. Entertainment B. Education

C. Lifestyle D. Kids

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Harry Poter movies come to an end at last.

B. The Last Harry Poter movie sets new box-office records.

C. The Last Harry Poter movie comes in 3D and IMAX

Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款臺(tái))，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank?you note for helping me. Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon，I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day，and the battery(電池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. “Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment，so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.

“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year originated from foreign land,a Chinese official in charge of desertification control said Monday.And the invasions(入侵)could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.

Since the start of last spring,the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms,of which,a dozen came from foreign land.

Situated in the central-Asia sandstorm region,one of the world’s four largest sandstorm sources,China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia.The other three major sources are in Africa,North America and Australia.

The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 sq.km annually in China,and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 sq.km a year.

The shrinkage(收縮)forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 sq.km and 3,436 sq.km late last century,respectively.

Currently,the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million sq.km,accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation’s land,and its sandy land totals 1.74 million sq.km,accounting for 18.1 percent of the country’s total.

1.What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?

A.Going down. B.Going up.

C.Coming from. D.Taking up.

2.Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from?

A.The northern Chinese regions.

B.The northwestern Chinese regions.

C.Foreign countries.

D.The western part of China.

3.Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia?

A.China. B.Africa.

C.Mongolia. D.Australia.

4.From the passage,we can infer that .

A.the land in China suffering from desertification has been increasing greatly

B.China has made achievements in its own desertification control

C.the desertification land makes up nearly half of China’s territory

D.little progress has been made in controlling desertification in China

5.In a magazine,the passage may be found in the column of .

A.entertainment B.health
