A
At the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have.I mean,he had a head,two arms and two legs,just like the rest of us.About nine o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers,one of the older boys,what it was that made this Elvis guy so special.He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.
About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤儿院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville,Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a haircut.That is when I got this big idea,which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret,then that’s what I was going to get.
A11 the way to town I told everybody, including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town,that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.
When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.
We finally arrived at the big barber shop,where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans(孤儿).I looked at the barber and said,“I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?”I asked him,with a big smile on my face.“Let's just see what we can do for you,little man,”he said.I was so happy when he started to cut my hair.Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing.She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head,like he was telling her “No”.Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts.Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.

23.We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was______.
A.excited to have an Elvis hair cut
B.worried to think about the secret
C.anxious to remove the ton of bricks

It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.
This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.
It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.
Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.
Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.
Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.
25. The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors .
A. cover a long distance
B. keep one hand in place for long
C. wave hands as long as possible
D. do the same thing as in a marathon
26. What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon?
A. Standing without any support.
B. Not leaning on the car.
C. Eating and drinking in five minutes.
D. Having strong powers of attention.
27. Why is handathon popular?
A. Someone can win with special training.
B. It doesn’t need to make any preparation.
C. Anyone who is interested can join in it.
D. People get along well with each other in it.
28. Which of the following about handathon is NOT right?
A. The person who takes part in it should stand still.
B. The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.
C. The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.
D. Handathons are competitions, so competitors don’t encourage each other.
C
Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.
“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”
Cameron captured(获取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’s journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.
29.When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?
A. When he was in his childhood.
B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic.
C. After he achieved great success in movies.
D. When he began to explore the deep sea alone.
30.What is the reality about unexplored ocean?
A. Colorful and dangerous. B. Boring and deserted.
C. White and attractive. D. Small and dull.
31.What can we know about James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D?
A. It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.
B. It is a story about Cameron’s film-making dream.
C. It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.
D. It tells us about James’ journey into Challenger Deep.
32.What is the best title for this passage?
A. The great dream of a film director
B. A film director exploring deep sea
C. James Cameron and his documentary film
D. The first person to make films about the deep sea

At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. 36 Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.
37 A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.
Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 38 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.
Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones. 39
Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true. 40 Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.
It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is doing your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.
A. When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.
B. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.
C. Instead of worrying about something that probably won’t happen, concentrate on what you are able to do.
D. The next time you fell depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life.
E. A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking.
F. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not.
G. Completing these smaller tasks once at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success.

Last Sunday, it was my father’s funny day. After supper, my father went to see the film. But in our surprise, he came back just about half an hour later. I asked him what was the matter. He smiled and told us about the funny thing what had happened in the cinema. He was sitting in his seat while a woman came to her and said the seat was hers. Surprising, they looked at their ticket carefully, only to find the seats shown in their tickets were the same while the colors were different. So they looked at the tickets carefully. After a while, my father apologized to the woman, saying, “Sorry, I make a mistake. Take this seat, please.” The fact was that his ticket found out under the glass on his desk was for the film a month ago.

Dear Kelly,
I’ve been back home safely from England. Thank you for the warm help during my stay in England.
Last week, I participated in the Cultural Exchange Week. I enjoyed myself in your country. We visited the city museum and some places of interest, which made me have a better understanding of the English society, culture and history. Of course, I also made many new friends.
What’s more, I was lucky enough to stay at your home. And I’ll never forget the days we spent together. Here I especially thank you for the dictionary you offered me as a gift. It’s a great help for me to learn English well. I will treasure and make full use of it.
Welcome to China when it’s convenient for you!
