I had been following the yellowish-green markers for a “popular and easy” three-mile out-and-back hike. Immediately after the trailhead(山道的起點), the trail became very rocky and steep. But having read information about the hike, I knew within five minutes, I was supposed to reach the hike’s first overlook.
However, the overlook never arrived. Instead, I found myself lost in the woods. Pulling out my cellphone, I saw it read “no service”. I checked the last text message I’d sent to my mom. It read, “Conference ended…going for a small hike before my flight home this afternoon.” I put my phone away and kept moving and yelling, “Help! Is anybody out there?” Every so often, I’d stop to listen, but I never heard a reply.
I got out my phone again. The battery was running out fast as it searched for a signal. I struggled to find a place where I could get service. When I did, I called my mom. It went through! In a shaky voice, I said, “Mom?” And then the call dropped. More than 1,500 miles away, my mom instantly knew something was wrong. She called the Denver Police Department and was directed to the US Forest Service.
This was how I was introduced to John, an operator from the US Forest Service. Following John’s instruction on the phone, I finally escaped from the woods. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then my phone rang, and it was John, making sure I was still going in the right direction. “By the way,” he said, “we’ve had your mother on hold this whole time. We know once you get down the mountain, you will absolutely want to give her a call.”

2.When did the author tell his mom about the hiking?

A. The author called and told her about it.
B. The author’s flight didn’t arrive on time.
C. She learned it from the US Forest Service.
D. She sensed something unusual on the phone.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

B. John came to the woods for the author.
C. John lost touch with the author’s mom.
D. The author went in the wrong direction.

In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell secondhand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments(裝飾物) and household goods, sometimes even in clothes．
The furniture may often be “antique”(古董), and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salesroom, where one piece might well be so1d for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long dead hands which polished that wood, of those now—closed eyes which once 1ooked at these pieces with love.
The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.
There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on, to another country or to death.
Although the British do not worship their ancestors(祖先), they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down. They are restored until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.
1.What is the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for?
A. Its sheep. B. Its bookshops. C. Its cinema. D. Its castle
2.Secondhand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because _______.
A. they are too expensive for average buyers
B. they remind you of the original owner
C. they are now neglected
D. they are sold for charity
3.What does the underlined word “them” (Paragraph 4) refer to _____?
A. Junk shops B. Profits from shops
C. Small household pieces D. Old houses

＂Have a nice day!＂ may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says ＂Have a nice day!＂ with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
＂Have a nice day. Next!＂ This version(版本) of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries(食品雜貨) out of the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say, like＂Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.＂
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says ＂Have a nice day＂ to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
1.By saying ＂Have a nice day＂ a stranger may___________.
A. express respect to you B. give his blessing to you
C. try to be friendly to you D. share his pleasure with you
2.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Have a Nice Day — a Meaningless Expression
B. Have a Nice Day — a Heart-warming Greeting
C. Have a Nice Day — a Social Custom
D. Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a Conversation

Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中風）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.
1.The text mainly discusses the relationship between .
A. heart problems and air quality
B. heart problems and exercising
C. heart problems and smoking
D. heart problems and fatty food
2.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. relatively high B. extremely low
C. relatively low D. extremely high
3.What can we learn from the text?
A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,
D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
4.The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to .
A. inform B. persuade C. describe D. entertain
