A meteor(隕星) that exploded over Russia’s Ural mountains and sent burning to earth has set off a rush to find fragments of the space rock which hunters hope could fetch thousands of dollars a piece.
Friday’s explosion and following shockwave shattered windows, injured almost 1200 people and caused about $33 million worth of damage, said local authorities.
It also started a “meteorite rush” around the industrial city of Chelyabinsk,where groups of people have started combing through the snow and ice.
“The price is hard to say yet… The fewer meteorites that are discovered, the higher their price is.” Said Dmitry Kachkalin, a member of the Russian Society of Amateur Meteorite Lovers.
Meteorites are parts of a meteor that have fallen to earth.
Scientists at the Urals Federal University were the first to announce a significant find-53 small, stony, black objects around Lake Chebarkul, near Chelyabinsk, which tests confirmed were small meteorites.
The fragments were only 0.5 to 1 cm across but the scientists said larger pieces may have crashed into the lake, where a crater in the ice about eight metres wide opened up after Friday’s explosion.
“We just completed tests and confirm that the pieces of matter found by our experts around Lake Chebarkul are really meteorites.” said Viktor Grokhovsky, a scientist with the Urals Federal University and the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Many other people were in the area just hoping to find a meteorite after what was described by scientists as a once-in-a-century event.
Residents of a village near Chelyabinsk searched the snowy streets, collecting stones they hoped prove to be the real thing. But not all were ready to sell.
“I will keep it. Why sell it? I didn’t have a rich lifestyle before, so why start now?” a woman in a woollen hat and winter jacket, clutching a small black pebble(小圓石), told state television.
The Internet was filled quickly with advertisements from eager hunters hoping to sell what they said were meteorites - some for as little as 1,000 roubles ($33.18).
One seller of a large, silver-hued rock wrote in an advertisement:” Selling an unusual rock. It may be a piece of meteorite. It may be a bit of a UFO. It may be a piece of a rocket!”
1.According to the passage, lots of people rushed to find meteorites for_____.
A. fun B. money
C. researchD. fame
2. The underlined phrase in the third paragraphmeans ______.
A. striking hard
B. enjoying the happiness of

D. making a place tidy and clean
3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The price of meteorites will be very high without doubt.
B. A meteor exploded over Russia’s Ural mountains on Friday.
C. All meteorites hunters want to sell what they found and become rich.
D. People from all across Russia have rushed to Ural mountains to find meteorites.
4. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

Most students, when asked about their ideal graduation gift, would probably reply, “A car”, or “Money for a deposit on a house”. Cai Kaiyuan, 21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Tibet.
Cai, a senior majoring in electrical engineering at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, originally planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet. During his journey, Cai’s idea for a different graduation gift to himself began to take shape. “I did not know beforehand what the journey would mean to me. I just want to gain a unique experience and have pleasure in appreciating the view there,” he said.
It turned out cycling on a plateau was extremely challenging. And it has kept changing his outlook on life. Cai’s fingers even became frostbitten while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. The lack of oxygen made him feel dizzy and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that my life was on the line,” said Cai.
However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked slender and weak.
It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,” he said, “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan.”
Cai was touched by the girls’ story. Their situation is tough and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teachers. “I want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.
1.According to the passage, Cai Kaiyuan’s graduation gift to himself is _________.
A. to have money for a deposit on a house
B. to travel by cycling from Sichuan to Tibet
C. to own a new car and marry a slender girl
D. to work as a volunteer teacher in Tibetan school
2.What words can be used to describe Cai’s journey to Tibet?
A. unique and pleasant B. challenging but rewarding
C. relaxing but unexpected D. freezing cold and boring
3.The underlined phrase “on the line” in the third paragraph means “ ____________”.
A. in a dilemma B. making a phone call
C. at risk D. very painful
4.The purpose of writing this passage is to ____________.
A. tell us about an unusual graduation gift
B. introduce a dangerous journey to us
C. give advice on how to travel to Tibet
D. encourage us to be a teacher in Tibet
5.Which of the followings is NOT the reason for Cai to make his decision?
A. He met Wu Ling and was impressed by her plan.
B. His parents and teachers persuaded him to go to Tibet.
C. He was moved by the kid’s desire to improve their Mandarin.
D. A lack of teachers makes the local people have little chance to learn.

In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry.She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly.She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.

The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street.She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.
During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news.Tears came down her cheek.Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed.Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.

Live one day at a time.We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble.But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness.Live for the moment.Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine.Believe me.And believe in yourself.As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”
