请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I was riding a bike when I saw a person about 250 meters ahead of me. I could tell he was riding a little slower than me and I decided to try to catch up with him. I had about a kilometer to go on the road before turning off.

I started riding faster and faster and with every block (街区). After a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace (速度) and tried my best.

Finally, I caught up with him and passed him. On the inside, I felt so good. I “beat him”, but he didn’t even know we were racing.

After I passed him, I found that I had missed my turn, had gone six blocks past it and had to turn around and go all the way back.

Isn’t that what happens in life when we race with others, trying to outdo them or trying to show that we are more successful or more important? We spend our time and energy chasing after them and we miss out on our own way.

The problem with unhealthy competition is that it’s a never-ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you in one way or another. What you should do is just run your own race and wish others well. Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

1.When the writer saw a man riding in front of him, he decided to _____.

A.ride past the man

B.ride slower than the man

C.make friends with the man

2.What happened to the writer when he passed the man?

A.The man shouted at him.

B.He told the man he was feeling good.

C.He missed his turn.

3.The underlined phrase “chase after” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.

A.catch up with B.get on with C.take care of

4.Which picture has the same meaning as “a never-ending cycle”?

A. B. C.

5.What lesson does the story teach us?

A.Competition is important in life.

B.Try to get better grades than others.

C.Follow your own way instead of trying to get ahead of others.

It’s easy to just get fast food when you’re hungry, but it can also be unhealthy and expensive. So I decided to test myself and not have fast food for five days. I made my own food at home using healthy cooking way.

Day 1: Hardest day

For breakfast at school, I ate corn, and for lunch I got myself a salad. I looked out the window on my bus ride home and McDonald’s was calling to me. Then I remembered my plan. I cooked fish for dinner.

Day 2: Trying new things

I tried some cabbage noodles. Cabbage isn’t my all-time favorite, but I was surprised by how good this tasted.

Day 3: Breakfast

Two more days until my healthy diet was over and I felt really good about myself. For breakfast, I had a banana sandwich. Don’t let the term “sandwich” fool you. The banana actually works as the “bread”.

Day 4: At-home pancake(煎饼)

I found an easy way to cook pancake. I needed carrot, oinion, tomatoes, lettuce and some other vegetables. What great food!

Day 5: Going all out

I made it! I even baked honey mushroom(蘑菇) chicken for my family! I will eat healthy more often.
