My father was attached to gardening by birth. One of my earliest memories is following Dad barefoot around in the garden with both hands blackened from digging in the soil. The garden was a wonderland full of possibilities.
As Dad grew older, he still loved gardening. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still planted all sorts of plants. Sometimes, I would come over to visit, and we would walk together in the garden. But then, something changed. Like the weeds that took over his garden, the cancer grew rapidly in Dad, and the doctor gave up. I stayed with Dad twenty-four hours a day and I found myself in all kinds of uncomfortable situations with Dad until I promised to care for the garden.
Though I had heard the words of the doctor, what really made me believe that Dad was dying was the state of his garden. That year, he only planted tomatoes. Too tired to weed them, he simply tied them with strong strings to the fence and let them be. It made me sad to see them ignored, so I would come over and water them once in a while, and remove the weeds. I still remember the day I picked the last tomato from the vine(藤). That day was one of the saddest I had ever experienced in my life.
Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden. I decided I would start out with just a few tomatoes. That morning when I moved to the garden, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, standing barefoot in the soil , happily playing in soil.
1.When the author was a child he liked his father’s garden because it was _________.

A. His garden B. His illness

B. The condition of his father.
C. His communication with his father.
D. That the garden wasn’t taken good care of by his father.
4.What did the author do in the garden on his father’s last day?
A. Water the garden B. Remove weeds
C. Pick a tomato D. Cut tomato vines.
5.Why did the author smile when he moved to his own garden one day?
A. Because he remembered his father.
B. Because his son showed interest in the garden.

Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger(博客), or “vlogger(视频博主)”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(互动) with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform(平台) for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britions’ career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.
2.Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?
A. Vloggers can earn little fame and money on the Internet.
B. There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C. The Internet makes it convenient to become vloggers.
D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
3.What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A. Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
4.What do young people like David do on the Internet?
A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races. D. Mix jobs with hobbies.
5.What is the meaning of the underlined word, “fame” in the fifth paragraph?
A. being known or talked about by many people
B. being hated
C. being wise and healthy
D. getting a large sum of money

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It's great first for what it contains：the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business，from fashion to science, and the range of comment and special feature(特写) as well，from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art theatre and music.
A newspaper is even greater for the way one reads it：never completely, never straight through，but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece，reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the text.
A good modern newspaper offers a variety(多样性) to attract many different readers, but far more than the reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的) value.
For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper：what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and order, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need and without wasting time，demands skill and self-awareness as you change and apply the techniques of reading.
1.A modern newspaper is great for all the following EXCEPT its________.
A. wide variety B. similar style
C. speed in reporting news D. popularity
2.According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the same newspaper is that ________.
A. people look through the news they are interested in
B. different people prefer different newspapers
C. people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
D. people have different views about what a good newspaper is
3.It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers________.
A. apply reading techniques skillfully B. jump from one newspaper to another
C. appreciate the variety of a newspaper D. usually read a newspaper selectively
4.Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. How to read newspaper? B. Where to find a good newspaper?
C. What is a good newspaper? D. Newspaper.
5.The author wrote the passage to_________.
A. advertise B. introduce
C. argue D. compare

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Music is very powerful. The kind of music you listen to says a lot about who you are. What music you choose to listen to today will help to determine what type of person you are tomorrow. Be careful about what type of music you choose to listen to. Music can either build you up or tear you down.
Garbage in, garbage out
In almost all categories of music, there are artists that deliver positive messages through their music and then there are artists that deliver destructive, hateful messages in their music. The kind of music you choose to listen to will help determine the level of success you achieve in life. Think negative thoughts and you will attract negative into your life. Think positive thoughts and you will see the positive in your life. Opportunities come to the optimists in life. When you entertain negativity in your life, opportunities are often lost or ignored.
Use Positive Music to get what you want out of life
Actively choose music with a positive message to listen to. Making this conscious choice will lead to positive experiences in your daily life. Music has a powerful effect on our beliefs and our actions. Being active in choosing the music we listen to will lead to a happier and fulfilling life. If you aren’t happy with the current state of your life, a great place to start changing it for the better is to choose better music to listen to.
Not convinced that you should listen to positive music?
Consider that all action is preceded(先于) by a thought. It’s impossible to take an action without having some thought about the action before you do it. Where do your thoughts come from? They come from what you are listening to, what you are seeing and who you are hanging out with. These influences over time, are responsible for our beliefs and ultimately our actions.
How to make positive changes in your life
Choosing music with a positive message is a great way to start making positive changes in your life. Don’t you like where your life is headed? Changing the music you’re listening to is an important first step towards creating a different, more positive life for yourself.
1.Why is music very powerful? (no more than 6 words)
2.What should you do in order to see the positive in your life? (no more than 5 words)
3.What does the underlined word “ultimately” mean? (1 word)
