Several days ago, I was walking home from school and saw some writing on the fence of a house I was passing by. It said, “Happiness is a direction, not a destination (终点).” I had been having a bad day and just reading this brightened my day a little. I also took out a pen and wrote one of my favorite quotes (格言) down.
When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting as the first one. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be mad at me for writing on his fence; he was not known to be very friendly. He gave me a sharp glance and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he said something to himself and then went back inside. I was a bit terrified for a while, afraid to go back to the fence, but when I did, I noticed not more quotes but two words in entirely different handwriting had been added, “Thank you.”
Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He beckoned (召唤) me over and told me how my quotes had been inspiring him, how he thanked me and how he was glad to see young people still have “values”. We are now good friend and I talk to him a lot. This experience has changed my life. I still don’t know who wrote that very first quote, but if he is out there, I’d like to say “thanks” to that unknown friend.
1.How did the author feel before he saw the words on the fence?
A. Excited B. Bored C. Unhappy D. Tired
2.Why did the writer begin to write a quote on the fence?
A. He wanted to practice his handwriting.
B. He had gotten some help from the quote.

D. He wanted to catch his neighbor’s attention.

B. he had once been told the old man was cold-hearted.
C. He thought the old man would scold(责骂) him for what he had done.
D. He thought the old man would tell his parents about his action.
4.Who must have added “Thank you.” to the fence?
A. The old man. B. Someone else.
C. The writer himself. D. That unknown friend.
5.We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. writing quotes on fences is a good idea

Several days ago,，1 went to my aunt’s home and saw my cousin who is studying English linguistics in a university． He showed me his learning materials．H ere are two pages of t
Now I know at some point in history, the meanings of some common words that we see every day meant something much different. The English language is developing all the time.
Nice
Generally speaking, the word “nice” is quite an expression of praise. However, back in the late 12th century, if someone said you were “nice”, it was far from saying good words about you.
Very long ago, “nice” was used to mean “foolish” and “stupid”. That sounds more like the kind of words that would start a fight, not put a smile on someone’s face. Later on in the 13th century, ‘nice” came to mean “shy and nervous”. During the 14th century, it even meant “being careful”. But finally in the 18th century, it changed to the kinder meaning we know today, and ever since then, people have been using it in a lovable way.
Sad
All of us get sad from time to time. It’s a usual part of life. A loved one passes away. We expect too much progress in an exam. Or the store is out of our favourite drink. These are all things that can make us sad.
However, once upon a time, “sad” had a very different meaning. Back in the 14th century, it was the perfect word if you had eaten too much food at dinner.
Through the years, the meaning of “sad” changed to “heavy” and then “tired”. Interestingly, when “sad” took on its present meaning, it was actually used instead of “unrot”, an old English word that was the opposite of “rot” that meant “cheerful” or “glad”.
1.When did "nice" come to mean "shy and nervous"?
A. In the late 12th century. B. In the 13th century.
C. During the 14th century. D. In the 18th century.
2.The underlined word "these" refers to指代) the following except that________.
A. a loved one passes away
B. we expect too much progress in an exam
C. the store is out of our favourite drink
D. we have eaten too much food at dinner
3. The purpose of the passage is to tell us .
A. the meanings of all words are different at some point in history
B. my cousin learns English well because of his learning materials
C. we should know about all the different meanings of words in history
D. the meanings of some words are changing because language is developing
