I needed to pay my internet and television providers bills and normally, I use my cellphone to pay them or I'd also get on my bicycle and ride up to their office to pay them. But on this day, I'd walk there to have lunch with my mom.

He told me he was just out testing motorcycle, as later that day he was going to take a trip down to Salt Lake City by“. Trevor was going to a conference about a rare disease. This rare disease had taken his own six-year-old daughter and he needed to learn more, to advocate, and to help others here in Canada.

I owe my father a huge thank you! Sure, I need to thank him for all those years of paying my bills, fixing my bikes, and providing a shoulder to cry on. But this year I realized that his contributions to my childhood were much more than that.
I grew up as Daddy’s Little Girl. If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed answering, he was the one I ran to. He helped me get through everything from math homework as a high school student to career choices as a young adult. He always expected that I do my best in whatever I did, and he believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to. As a result, I learned to hold myself to those same standards. He always showed me unconditional love, which helped me learn to love myself. It was something I’d taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of their self worth. Having fathers that didn’t believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves.
As I was growing up, my father also modeled how a woman should be lavished. He treated my mom with love and respect. As a result, I grew to expect nothing less than that from the men I dated and from the man I would eventually marry. Dad was a living picture of godliness(虔诚), honesty and responsibility. It was only recently that I realized what a deep effect fathers have on their daughters’ lives. That is why I want to thank my dad for the godly example of love that he has been to me throughout my life.

2.What does the underlined word “lavished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Loved B. Respected
C. Treated D. Spoiled
3.Who would the author turn to when in trouble?
A. Her friends. B. Her mother
C. Her husband D. Her father

It is Saturday night and you want to turn on your television. Can you? Or do you first need to call your partner, or your child, or whoever it is in your household who knows which handset to use and which buttons to press? If so, you are not alone. Our televisions are an unspoken disaster zone. Finally, somebody has said something.
All hail (致敬) the Duke of Edinburgh. “To work out how to operate a television set, you practically have to make love to the thing,” he says, in this week’s Saturday Review. “And why can’t
you have a handset that people who are not ten years old can actually read?”
The Duke is often a reactionary (反动者), but this is not reactionary thinking. Our computers become ever easier to operate. Our cars almost drive themselves. Some mobile telephones, such as the phone, are obvious wonders: successful designs that could be operated by a child. The remote control of your television, by comparison, has changed only for the worse.
The first wide – spread commercial remote control was the Zenith Space Command, designed in 1956. It had four buttons: power, channel up, channel down and volume. Oh, for such simple things in our lives today. Before long, the remote control was out of control. Not just with televisions, but with video players, too. They came and went, and a whole generation never figured out how to use them. Why not? In all other ways, televisual technology has developed a great deal. The screens have grown grander, the picture definition (清晰度) has grown higher, and the sound clearer. The remote controls have merely grown. Nobody ever uses half those buttons. A remote revolution is long overdue.
1.What does “Our televisions are an unspoken disaster zone” mean?
A. Television is actually a great danger to humans.
B. It is very difficult to use many TV handsets properly.
C. We should treat televisions in a friendly way.
D. Somebody has said something about television.
2.What the Duke of Edinburgh says actually means that ________.
A. TV remote controls should be made easier to use
B. we must learn to respect TVs
C. we should love watching TV
D. we should buy handsets to control our TVs
3.What’s the author’s attitude to television remote controls?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral (中立的). D. Indifferent (漠然的)
4.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Remote Revolution. B. From Buttons to Handsets.
C. Televisions-Out of Control. D. Computers-Under Control.

Every year, my parents and I pay visit to my grandparents in my hometown. To be honestly, I didn’t want to go this year. You know, my hometown in their memory was so dirty. Rubbish could be seen everywhere, that annoyed me a lot. After thinking for some moment, I asked my parents that whether we could let my grandparents come and stay with us. Heard this, they just smiled. When I got on the bus, I was surprised to find that the village was very clean that I hardly recognized it. Then I decide to visit my grandparents more often.

In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.
As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.
A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting my daughter’s experience.
While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.
1.What do we learn from the first paragraph?
A.A lot of amusements compete for children’s time nowadays.
B.Children have lots of fun doing mindless activities.
C.Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time.
D.Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.
2.What did the author say about her own writing experience?
A.She was constantly under pressure to write more.
B.Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.
C.She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.
D.Her road to success was full of pain and frustrations.
3.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?
A.She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
B.She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.
C.She wanted to share her stories with readers.
D.She had won a prize in the previous contest.
4.The underlined sentence probably means that the author was _______.
A.trying not to let her daughter enjoy her own life
B.trying to get her daughter to do the thing as the author wished
C.making sure that her daughter would win the contest
D.helping her daughter develop real skills for writing

I work as a meteorologist(气象学家) in Tampa, Florida. It’s my job to follow hurricanes(飓风) and provide information about them to scientists.
I was working for the National Meteorological Office in Bracknell, near London, in the autumn of 1995, and I saw a documentary called Stormchasers with family. 1. Two months later I came across an ad for a meteorologist to work in Florida. I was interviewed over the phone, moved to the US, and started to work here in Tampa in May 1996.
