What is life's greatest gift? It is choice. Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal.1. The reason is that it turns us from dumb animals into artists. Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn't come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility. 2. It is enjoyment.

Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It's the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices. 3. We often need to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what action will I take now to make myself realize my goals?

4. And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which bus station to go to.But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.

Life is like a chess game.5. All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.

A．Why is choice so great?

B．The pleasure is in the playing.

C．In fact, we have to make choices every day.

D．But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.

E．Because making right choices is more important than working hard.

F．Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.

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。

The next time you are out walking your dog, be sure to keep your eyes on the ground. Maybe you can find some treasures. That is exactly what happened to a California couple who recently happened to find the most valuable ancient gold in North America.

John and Mary, a couple, lived in Northern California's Gold Country.One day they were walking their dog along the road as usual. However, this time around, John noticed a rusty bottle sticking out(凸出) from the ground. They decided to take a closer look, and then they unearthed it with a stick and took it home.

The can was very heavy, making the couple guess that it was filled with paint. However, when John opened it and saw the side of a shiny coin, he knew he had found gold!

The couple immediately returned to the area with a small shovel to see if there were any more bottles to be found. Sure enough, they found one more. This one had broken and scattered(散开) all its treasures into the ground below. And that was not all—over the next few days the couple found six more in the area. According to the dates of the coins, as well as, the conditions of the metal cans, experts believe that the gold was buried sometime in the late 19th century, right after the California's Gold Rush. John thought that the can that was sticking out, was a mark for whoever buried the treasure there. For reasons that nobody will ever know, he/she never returned to get it back.

1.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A. We should look at the ground while walking.

B. The couple found ancient gold while walking.

C. John and Mary usually walked the dog together.

2.The underlined word “unearthed” means “________ ” in Chinese.

A. 挖　　 B. 埋葬　　 C. 鉴定

3.What was in the can?

A. Paint.　　 B. Drink.　　 C. Gold.

4.How many cans did the couple find all together?

A. One.　　 B. Two.　　 C. Eight.

5.The writer agreed that no one knew　 ________.

A. why nobody got the cans back

B. what was in the cans

C. how the can was found

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，在下面的表格中填入与文章意思最符合的单词。每空一词。

I'm Jame, from America. I can't sleep well and I always wake up several times during the night. I know for a fact that there are many other people who have trouble going sleep, too. So, I've collected some advice. I've received over the past few months that have not only helped me get to sleep faster, but helped me get better night sleeps.

Have regular sleep habits

Go to bed at the same time every night. Try not to break this habit on weekends when you may be made to stay up late. Wake up at the same time every day. If you are getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm.

Turn off your computer

Don't play on the computer for half an hour before you decided to sleep. Studies show that it is bad for the quality of your sleep. Read a book or listen to some light music to prepare your body for sleeping.

Have a nice bedroom

A clean environment helps people to be happy and relaxed. Make sure that you have turned off all lights that might come into your room, and that the temperature is comfortable.

Exercise often

Exercising will help you to fall asleep more easily, so walk out for 45 minutes every day and you will sleep better at night. But don't do it just before you go to bed.

Eat properly

Eat only a little for supper. A full stomach may make it much harder for you to sleep.

阅读下面图文，简要回答所给问题。

Girls in their teens easily make a lot of mistakes when it comes to food. It's the age that makes a girl most enjoy having junk food. The chart shows the result of a survey on junk food for 600 girls. Here is some advice on how to eat healthily.

A Heavy Breakfast

Not having breakfast in the morning is a bad habit. It's because your stomach remains empty the whole night. So you can plan your breakfast this way. Have healthy drinks. Make brown bread and add low fat butter on it. You can also have an egg. It doesn't take much time to prepare and you can easily have them before going to school.

A Moderate Lunch

If you eat a heavy meal during your lunchtime, then you will end up feeling sleepy for the rest of a day.The choices for lunch are chicken, meat and vegetables. Have fish as often as you can and have brown rice sometimes. Chicken sandwiches are not only healthy but also delicious. Keep lunch simple and avoid adding too much oil and salt.

A Light Dinner

Keep your dinner as little as possible. For dinner, you can have a small serving of vegetables and soup. Having a light dinner is a right way to lose weight. You can also drink a cup of healthy drink, fruit smoothie or milk after dinner. When you keep your dinner light, your digestive system(消化系统) only takes very little time to break down and take in the food. This keeps a balance in your health.

1.According to the chart, how many girls of 600 prefer soft drinks?

_________________________________________ .

2.According to the chart, what kind of junk food do the most girls like?

_________________________________________ .

3.Why is it a bad habit not to have breakfast?

_________________________________________ .
