Looking back on the first twenty years of my life,I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy.I'm happy because of many key factors（因素）. 1.

Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health. 2.

Good health is not enough to be happy. 3. Money obviously pays for the basic necessities of life—food, housing, clothing, etc.—but it is also necessary for other reasons. Money guarantees(保證) we always get good medical treatment when we fall ill. Besides, we can also use money for entertainment that can add to our quality of life.

Family is another important factor in having a happy life because it provides the love, joy, and support that everyone needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer. 4. They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they are always there to share everything with me.

5. As long as I stay healthy, work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family,I will always be the happiest girl in the world.

A. Money is the most important factor which contributes to a happy life.

B. These three factors are all that I need and want in this world.

C. My family help me get through worries, pressures and difficulties.

D. We still need to have money in today's society.

E. Finally, I'm quite thankful that I am healthy, wealthy and happy.

F. Clearly, good health is much more important than any other things of one's life.

G. They include my physical health, healthy finances and my family's happiness.

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技藝）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.

We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

A. Paul Newman wanted it.

B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

C. He wasn’t famous enough.

D. The director recommended someone else.

2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

A. They were of the same age.

B. They worked in the same theater.

D. They have similar characteristics.

3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Their belief.

B. Their care for children.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To show his love of films.

B. To remember a friend.

C. To introduce a new movie.

D. To share his acting experience.

(河北省衡水冀州中學2017屆高復班第二次階段考試)When Pat Jones finishes college, she decides to travel around the world and see as many foreign places as she could while she was young. Pat wants to visit Latin America first, so she got a job as an English teacher in a school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her students even when they didn’t know much English.

Once, a sentence she had read somewhere struck her mind; if you dream in a foreign language, you have really mastered it. Pat repeated this sentence to her students and hopes that some day she would dream in Spanish and they would dream in English.

One day, one of her worst students came up and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He had gone to bed early and had slept badly.

＂What does this have to do with your homework?＂ Pat asked.

＂I dreamed all night, Miss Jones. And my dream was in English.＂

＂In English?＂ Pat was very surprised, since he was such a bad student. She was even secretly jealous. Her dream was still not in Spanish. But she encouraged her young students, ＂Well, tell me about your dream.＂

＂All the people in my dream spoke English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in English.＂

＂But that’s wonderful,＂ said Pat. ＂What did all the people say to you?＂

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness with me. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and ＂too serious＂ about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: ＂Let’s start with a train whistle today.＂ We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

For almost four years I have had remarkable friends. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: ＂Yes, I must tell...＂ We have never met.

It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理學家), who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
