My parents always   44   me to go to college. However, when I    45  at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they    46   stopped telling me they loved me and I could anything I wanted to.   47  , they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently   48  the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the   49  a better place to live in.
Every time I call home to tell them about a   50  I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or whichever    51  it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how   52  of me they are.

To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain, Its first use was as a shade against the sun!

By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.

To help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable grocery bags. But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable grocery bags sold by some supermarkets contain high levels of lead(鉛). Lead is a metal that can be harmful to humans, especially young children, Now, Senator Charles Schumer is asking the US government to investigate(調查) the use of lead in reusable shopping bags.
“When our families go to the grocery store looking for safe and healthy foods to feed their kids, the last thing they should have to worry about is poisonous bags.” Schumer said, “A quick investigation will allow everyone to make informed, timely decisions.”  Schumer added.
Lead in the bags is not likely to rub off (因摩擦而粘在……上面)on food. But over time, paint on the bags can chip and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be released(釋放).
The Tampa Tribune newspaper said certain bags sold at Publix and Winn-Dixie supermarkets had lead levels that were a concern to health officials. The affected bags were found in Florida. But Publix has more than 1,000 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Sough Carolina and Tennessee. Publix says that all of its bags are under current laws about lead content, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce the lead levels in the product.
The bags with the highest levels of lead had fancy designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without decoration were found to contain little lead. Consumers worried about lead levels in reusable bags can change to cloth or string bags. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be recycled(回收).
Since 2007, Publix supermarkets have sold more than 13 million reusable bags. The store says because shoppers have made the change to reusable bags, it has saved more than 1 billion paper and plastics bags.
小題1: The shopping bags containing high levels of lead ______.
A．have been reported by a newspaper
B．have been stopped by the government
C．have stopped people from using reusable bags
D．have caused serious health damage to customers
小題2:From Schumer’s words we can learn that ______.
A．reusable bags do little harm to kids’ health
B．people have shown much concern for the reusable bags
C．people will be informed of the facts about the reusable bags
D．people should refuse to buy things from supermarkets
小題3:It can be inferred from the text that Publix might believe that the bags they sold are ______.
A．dependableB．convenientC．harmfulD．popular
小題4:Customers are advised to choose bags ______.
A．with colorful designsB．with fancy pictures
C．made of plasticD．made of paper
小題5:From the last paragraph we know that the use of reusable bags has ______.
A．caused Publix a lot of troubleB．saved Publix much money
C．cost Publix plenty of moneyD．been proved a wrong decision

When Jeanne Calment entered the world in 1875, telephones and automobiles still lay in the future. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious (舉止粗俗的), impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco (精神失常的)”, she recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s eldest person. (There are others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age.)
Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humour”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God must have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that she had good genes: her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.
Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”
In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humour. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I’ve only ever had one wrinkle, and I’m sitting on it. “Her longevity made her famous; her spirit made her eternal (永恒的).
小題1:Why does the author mention Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and the Eiffel Tower?
A．To show that Calment had seen famous people and things.
B．To emphasize that Calment was born a long time ago.
C．To indicate that Calment is just as famous.
D．To admire the knowledge that Calment had.
小題2:The author believed that Calment’s longevity is mainly due to ______.
A．a sense of humorB．being kept busy
C．belief in GodD．good genes
小題3:The underlined word “imperturbable” means ________.
A．calmB．humorousC．friendlyD．healthy
小題4:Toward the end of the story, the author seems to be impressed by Callment ’s _________.
A．spiritB．religious beliefC．knowledgeD．longevity

With only fish and birds for company, Eric Erden has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his 23-foot-long boat since he left California on July 10, 2009.
This is the first part of Eric’s trip around the world using only his own energy. He will row, bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest mountain on each of the six continents he visits, to honour the memory of a fellow climber.
He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal, but he also hopes to have some great adventures along the way.
Storms and huge waves regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started.”
Protein bars give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove. A sun-powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but when that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in a bucket.
He’s not bothered by any of the hardships. Eric sees the world as a laboratory where there is much to learn. And when his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people — especially children. He has already visited several schools and shared his story.
小題1:Why is Eric making this trip?
A．To encourage children to reach for their goal.
B．To learn to overcome various hardships.
C．To do experiments all over the world.
D．To honour the memory of a fellow climber.
小題2:What does Eric plan to do on each of the six continents he will visit?
A．Visit schools to share his story.
B．Study the culture of the local people.
C．Climb the tallest mountain.
D．Cycle from one end to the other.
小題3:How does Eric mainly get drinking water?
A．He boils the seawater on a stove.
B．He has brought fresh water with him.
C．He collects rain water in a bucket.
D．He uses a special machine to make seawater fresh.

I’m Adam Gun from Istanbul, Turkey. I’m in a good school. And at the age of 15, in my first year of high school. I’m a great fan of tennis and cycling. I play tennis twice a week for two hours each time. Sometimes I want to play more, but I just keep playing for hours on end, never getting tired of doing it. This is one of the rare things I love in my life, in addition to cycling.
Like tennis, I find that I’m able to ride for ever and ever. Since Istanbul is made up of large and small hills, it’s a nice challenge to ride my bike every day. Although there aren’t many cycling places in Istanbul, I’m lucky enough to live near the biggest park. It’s downhill from my house to the park and I enjoy cycling up as much as floating down, because it’s challenging.
Now I have been thinking about being a lawyer and following my father’s footsteps, but I just don’t think I’m into it. I have heard people tell me over and over again: If you want to be happy with your life, you need to like and enjoy your job. Well, I’m not sure about the fact that I will enjoy being a lawyer when I grow up. I’m just not the type of person who sits down and studies for hours. So I just need opinions on whether to become a tennis player(hopefully), to become a cyclist(hopefully) or to become a lawyer.
小題1:We can know that Adam Gun is satisfied with ______.
A．his friendsB．his choice to be a lawyerC．his schoolD．his favorite tennis star
小題2:According to the passage, Adam Gun believes that cycling in Istanbul______.
A．need skillsB．needs good preparationC．is easy but boringD．is difficult but challenging
小題3:What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A．I’m able to do it.B．I hate to do it.C．I’m confident about it.D．I’m interested in it.
小題4:What’s Adam Gun’s problem?
