Sometimes life makes more sense when you look at it in reverse (相反). That's certainly been true for me.
Last Christmas, at 39, I caught a disease which attacked my knees and eyes. At its worst I could hardly walk or see. For months I' d have to crawl (爬) across the floor to use the bathroom or get a drink of water when my husband wasn't home. For a while I could only see shapes and colors so I couldn't drive.
My parents kept begging me to let them come out to stay with me in Los Angeles, but our apartment is small and I knew there was nothing they could really do to help me. For the excellent health insurance my husband had through his job, I was receiving the best medical care possible.
My only problem was that I couldn't drive to my doctors' appointments and I didn't want my husband to keep missing work to drive me. Three days after I explained this to my parents, a check came from them with a note saying this was "taxi money". Several months later another check showed up from my brother to help make up our income since I wasn't able to work. It probably goes without saying that I was extremely grateful to have family members who could and would support me during the hard time.
In terms of my day-to-day existence, I live in a village within Los Angeles called Brentwood so I was able to walk to the local post office, market, bank, and library. But once there, I had to depend on the kindness of strangers to help me. Los Angeles is a big city, but I lived in a village with a wonderful community (社区) of people who were kind and patient.
Slowly I became well. Life was good again and I thought I had a clear understanding of the blessings (恩惠) this illness has provided.

When you purchase fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower can be exported, and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.
The country that dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.
Despite the Netherlands’ dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” he claims. “Our roses are the best in the world.” Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment op portunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.
To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses, Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the situation. “I see a freight train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”
1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.Cut flowers can survive a long trip. B.You should buy flowers from local florists.
C.Flowers you buy come from far away places. D.Few thinks about where they buy your flowers.
2.Which of the following are mentioned as large investors in flower research?
A.Dutch companies and the government B.airplane and high-tech cooling companies
C.Ecuador’s local flower growers and pickers D.American businessmen and their government
3.The underlined word in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.
A.end B.advantage
C.challenge D.difference
4.What did Lina Hale’s father mean when he said, “I see a freight train coming down the track and it’s coming straight toward us.”?
A.He could predict a train was soon to arrive.
B.He knew his business would be threatened.
C.He thought customers wouldn’t want roses.
D.He thought trains were the new way to move flowers.

We’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element of chemistry in it.
Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin. Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar(醋), because it can produce poisonous gas.Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.
Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient(成分,尤指烹饪) makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.
Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.
1.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.Chemistry is easy to see around us.

2.The following actions are about chemistry EXCEPT _____.
A.cleaning teeth with toothpaste
B.washing hair with hair products
C.using soap to get the oil out of clothes
D.washing your face with water
3.The underlined word “poisonous” in Paragraph 3 means _____.
A.harmful B.healthy C.fresh D.pleasant
4.Which one is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?
A.One can’t find chemistry when cooking food.
B.Chemistry plays an important part in food mak-ing.
C.That dough rises is nothing to do with chemistry.
D.A flat cake is the result of too many ingredients.

In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people. Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day. 1. If possible, practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people. If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three cards. This will force you to keep your speech concise and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
Remember why you’ve been invited to speak. If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people, keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role. The speech organizers must have seen something valuable in you or your expertise. 2.
Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 3. Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position. Knowing this may make you feel better.
4. What you say should be tailored to why you’re there and who you’re speaking to in order to avoid sounding general. If speaking to a charity group, mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause. If speaking at a business conference, briefly state why you want to help these people.
Keep eye contact with the crowd. 5. Pick one person in each section and look at him while you’re speaking. After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another section. When you focus only on one person at a time, the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.
A.A good memory is really helpful.
B. Show appreciation to your audience.
C. Mention your audience in your speech.
D. The more you have it memorized, the better.
E. In fact, it’s normal to feel nervous or stressed out before a big speech.
F. Separate the crowd into three sections mentally as you get up to speak.
G. The knowledge of other people’s respect for you should reduce some of the fear.

Who do you look up to? No matter what stage of life you're at, it's good to have someone who inspires you to be the best version of yourself.
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席令) on Sept 17 to award 42 individuals the Medal of the Republic, the Friendship Medal and various honorary titles, China Daily reported. The people who received medals have all made outstanding contributions to the nation's construction and development.
The 89-year-old Shen Jilan is one of the eight people who were awarded the Medal of the Republic. She is the only deputy (代表) in China to serve at all 13 National People's Congresses (人民代表大会) since 1954. She witnessed the development of the People's Congress system. She has been engaged in making and revising national laws most of her life. It was she who proposed the clause on ''equal pay for equal work'' between men and women, which was written into the first Constitution of PRC in 1954.
China's development can't continue without lawmakers, nor can it move forward without scientists.
Ye Peijian, who received the honorary title ''the people's scientist'', has been devoted to China's lunar program for two decades. Known as ''the Father of Chang'e Probes'', his team of aerospace engineers put lunar landers on the moon. On Jan 3 of this year, the Chang'e 4 probe touched down on the moon's far side, marking the program’s latest achievement.
''The space program is about 40 years late with the US, but we have used Chinese technology in our program, '', Ye told GBTimes when asked about the lunar exploration program.
Also receiving awards are six foreign friends who have lent their hands to assist with China's prosperity. Raul Castro Ruz, former Cuban president, was awarded a Friendship Medal.
This honor recognizes ''the revolutionary work of his life and his contribution to strengthening relations between Cuba and China, '' said Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, president of the Council of State and Council of Ministers of Cuba, on social media.
Almost every country in the world has official honors reserved for distinguished people. For example, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor given in the United States. ''It recognizes people who have made an especially praise-worthy contribution to world peace, cultural or other significant public endeavors. '' The late British scientist Stephen Hawking was once given this award.
1.What's the main purpose of the article?
A.To say thanks to national heroes.
B.To tell readers what makes a good role model.
C.To describe the awards recently given by the local government.
D.To introduce some of the people who won national awards.
2.What of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Shen Jilan has taken an active part in making national laws.
B.Raul Castro Ruz was the only foreigner awarded the Friendship Medal.
C.Friendship Medal was awarded to the late British scientist Stephen Hawking.
D.China alone has varieties of honorary titles awarded to distinguished people
3.Why was Ye Peijian awarded an honorary title?
A.For his design of the Chang'e 4 probe.
B.For his years of work in China's lunar program.
C.For leading his team to excel past the US space program.
D.For successfully putting lunar landers on the moon.
4.What does the underlined word ''endeavors'' mean in the last paragraph?

How did it make you feel when you learned that KFC’S Beijing restaurants pulled three more items from their menus last week? There were fears that the items may have contained the cancer-causing coloring Sudan I.Do you have any desire to take the food provider to court because it feeds you something dangerous?
After all,the law supposedly gives people the right to fight for their rights.But some experts have said it might not be so wise to take the company directly to court.
Qiu Baochang,a lawyer in Beijing,suggested that consumers not take the company directly to court. “In addition to the high costs,consumers’complaints are unlikely to win unless they can prove they have had the banned dye at KFC,”—Qiu explained.
One problem for those wanting to take action against the fast food chain is that few customers ask for or keep receipts(收据).And,this must be the first step.
If they can prove that their health has been damaged by KFC,they can cue(控告)the company.But that would be almost impossible to do so because the Sudan I damage is a long-term effect and is not immediately apparent.
A KFC spokesperson said on Monday that the company was confdent of being able to handle customers’complaints,“We will obey legal procedure if We raceive any complaints.”
1.Why did KFC’s Beijing restaurants pull three more items from their menus?
A.Because the company was afraid to handle customers’complaints.
B.Because coloring Sudan I may have been contained in those items.
C.Because the KFC’s restaurants were accused ofselling poisonous food to the customers.
D.Because these items were no longer popular with the customers.
2.The reason why experts suggested not taking the company directly to court is that________.
A.the costs will be high
B.consumers can’t prove food contained Sudan I
C.consumers can’t prove the food at KFC damaged their health
D.all of the above
3.This passage most probably appears in________.
A.a notice.
B.a book on cooking.
C.a story book.
D.a newspaper.
4.What is the general ieda of the passage?
A.KFC’s Beijing restaurants pulled three items from their menus last week.
B.How the consumers dealt with the KFC problem.
C.How KFC handled the customers’s complaints.
D.Consumers never forget to ask for or keep receipts.
