It’s not easy to find a person with the qualities（品格）it takes to be a hero. I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.

If you saw her, you wouldn’t think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts（选拔赛）, but didn’t notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what.

Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest－in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed－but that didn’t stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.

After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or losing that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero－and my hero, too.

根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

1.What did the writer think of Sandra Keierleber at the beginning?

A. Strong.　　 B. Honest.　　 C. Pretty.　　 D. Common.

2.When did Sandra begin to play volleyball?

A. When she was at college.　　 B. When she was tall enough.

C. When she became a hero.　　 D. When she met the Superman.

3.Which of the following is true about Sandra?

A. She was born a volleyball player.　　 B. She isn’t the tallest but the fastest.

C. She does things in an easy way.　　 D. She is popular with her teammates.

4.What did the writer and her classmates do when they knew Sandra was on the name list?

A. They held a party.　　 B. They cheered Sandra.

C. They cried.　　 D. They did nothing.

5.Why does the writer think of Sandra Keierleber as a true hero?

A. Because she did very well at the tryouts.

B. Because she worked hard and never gave up.

C. Because she took part in the city matches.

D. Because she asked for help from her teammates.

Millions of people across China will crowd onto trains and buses next February, hurrying home to be with their families for the country’s most important holidays, Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival. February 15 marks the end of the Year of the Rooster and the beginning of the Year of the Dog.

History of the Holiday

According to an ancient legend, Buddha（佛祖）asked all the animals to meet him on Lunar New Year. Twelve animals came, and Buddha named a year after each one.

The Year of Good Luck

Buddha announced that people born in each animal’s year would have some of that animal’s personality. If you were born in 1970, 1982, 1994 or 2006, you were born in the year of the Dog. In ancient times, the dog is considered the best symbol for honesty and loyalty（忠诚）. People who were born in these years are believed to be honest, brave and filled with good luck and strength. They are said to get along best with people born under the year of the Tiger, Rat or Horse.

Festivals, Lions and Feasts（筵席）

On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Chinese celebrate with fireworks, family gatherings and festivals. One of the most popular ways to celebrate the holiday is with the lion dance. During celebrations, dancers dressed as lions perform. The dancers are supposed to bring good luck to people. People often wear red. Legend has it that red can drive away bad luck.

The 15-day New Year season is celebrated with firecrackers, dragon dances and visits to friends and family. The celebrations end with the Lantern Festival, when brightly colored lamps are hung in parks around China.

根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。

1.Uncle Li was born in 1970, so his animal zodiac（属相）is Dog.

2.January 1st, 2018 marks the beginning of the Year of the Dog.

3.People who were born in the year of the Tiger are believed to be brave and honest.

4.During the Spring Festival, people wear red in China because they think red can drive away bad luck.

5.People can play firecrackers in the 15-dayNew Year season according to the passage.

Many people would like to watch sports matches. First, you need to know about audience（观众）manners.

Most sporting arenas（竞技场）have rules for audience written on the back of the tickets.1. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don’t leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other rubbish.

2. Don’t criticize（批评）the performance of players and coaches. Try to control yourself, since some words may cause anger among other people in the audience.

3. You can clap your hands to communicate with players, but you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, clap warmly. If someone fails, your clapping will help encourage them.Clapping is not welcome, however, while players need to keep their attention.

4. Enjoy artistic gymnastics（体操）silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. When you watch snooker and table tennis matches, flash photography is not allowed.

5.

To be a good audience, you should take time to learn the game－special rules and related culture of each event.

If you like unusual places, you should visit the Hebrides Islands. Not many people live on these islands in the northwest of Scotland. The winters are long, cold, and wet. It’s hard to make a living on the Hebrides, but for a visitor, these islands can be very special.

They’re not for everyone. Even summer days are cool and often windy. The water is too cold for swimming. There are only a few trees and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants. The hills, too, are just piles（堆）of rocks. Sometimes the view（风景） looks like pictures of the moon.

But there is beauty in this place. From the beach you can often see all the ways to the rocky hills. From the hills you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean. The colors, too, are special. Blue is everywhere. It’s in the sky and in the ocean. In the spring there is also green in the hills. In the summer and winter the hills are more purple.

On these islands you can forget about the rest of the world. The evenings are quiet. The restaurants close early, and there isn’t any nightlife. Visitors stay at a guest house or a bed.

Do not come to the Hebrides for shopping. Come to walk in the clean and cool air, and enjoy the quiet beauty and the views.

根据文章内容，回答下列问题。

1.Are there many people living on the Hebrides Islands?

2.How is the weather on the Hebrides in the summer?

3.What can you see from the hills when you are on the Hebrides?

4.Where do visitors stay for the night on the Hebrides?

5.According to the passage, what can we do on the Hebrides?
