This past Christmas season, I went to visit my parents. During the visit, I found the letters written by my parents to each other during the war in the attic (阁楼). The letters were piled high, dirty and had not been touched for decades. I asked mother and father if I could take the letters back to my home. They agreed.
As I opened each letter, all of them beautiful with age, I discovered a new page in this private part of my parents' lives. My father served in the army. His letters were full of frontline (前线) descriptions, and they continued all the way through the battle. Each of my mother's letters was sealed (密封) with her lipstick kiss. Father wrote that he sealed his return letters by rekissing her lipstick kiss. How they had been missing each other! I finished reading six months of the letters and discovered there were at least eleven months missing. Maybe they were lost forever.
Not long after our Christmas visit, Father became very ill and was in hospital. I went to the hospital to see him. As I sat by his bedside, he told me how much receiving those lipstick-kissed letters had meant to him when he had been so far from home.
Later that evening, Mother and I revisited the attic in search of the lost letters. Finally we dug them out of Mother’s old college trunk (皮箱). The next day was Valentine’s Day, and we went to the hospital. At my father's bedside, I showed him an old envelope. His curiosity was aroused. When he carefully opened the letter, he recognized it and his eyes were filled with tears. He read the love messages that had been delivered years before to my mother in a quavery (颤抖的) voice. This Valentine’s Day, we were lucky that we had everything.
1.Where did the writer find the missing letters?
A. In the hospital. B. At her father's bedside.
C. In a trunk. D. In her own house.
2.How did the writer’s father feel when he saw the letter?
A. Curious. B. Touched.
C. Regretful. D. Interested.
3.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Christmas Gift B. My Parents
C. Love letters D. The Good Old Days

I have a story about raising free-range (自由放养) kids. This past Columbus Day, my husband and I went fishing with some friends on their boat while our10 and 8-year-old kids were in school. We left the house all at the same time, about 7 a. m. My children walked to and from school every day and we knew they would be OK for a couple hours by themselves anyway. We told them to go home after school and we would be home around 4 p. m.
We live on the Gulf Coast, and since it was a beautiful day, all of the adults decided to go fishing off-shore. At around 2 p. m. after a good harvest from the sea, we started back to the shore and unfortunately after some time, we ran out of gas. We were out of cellphone service, and what was even worse was that 911 wasn’t working. We didn’t have a radio either. Therefore, we were stuck waiting for someone to pass by. We were out there until 10 p. m. All the while my children were at home, expecting us to return shortly after they got home. At about 7 p. m. , when it was getting dark, my 10-year-old daughter thought something might be wrong so she walked to each house on the street until someone answered the door and asked the person what they should do. This was how we were finally found by the game warden (管理员) on the coast and “rescued”.
Talking with that neighbor the next day, I was never so proud of my children. This neighbour explained to me, “What calmness both of your children showed when explaining the situation and how impressed I was with your children seeking help, even though they didn’t know me.” I never doubted him for a minute, though next time we go fishing we’ll monitor the gas more carefully.
1.What did the author probably feel at the very start of returning to the shore?
A.Anxious. B.Frightened.
C.Pleased. D.Disappointed.
2.Why couldn’t the parents call their children when going back to the shore?
A.They didn’t carry a radio. B.Their boat was out of gas.
C.They believed in their children. D.There was no phone signal there.
3.What was the author’s reaction to his neighbor’s words?
A.He thanked his neighbor. B.He was not surprised.
C.He didn’t agree with his neighbor. D.He needed to think for himself.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Stuck on the Sea B.A Brave Girl

"Thanks" to the seasonal change, half of my class went down with colds and flu. You can hear coughs and sneezes everywhere, and the number of suffering students keeps climbing.
A close friend of mine, however, survived the fierce battle, despite the fact that he was surrounded by "victims" all day long. I am not surprised, because we've been friends for ages, and he seldom gets sick. The following is his advice.
1.____________.
A long-distance run in the morning is a good choice. It not only makes you energized for the rest of the day, but also helps to develop good health for the rest of your life.
2.____________.
Eat a variety of food every day, because different foods contain different nutrition: rice provides sugar, meat contains energy and fat, vegetables are rich in vitamins and cellulose, etc. Fruit and yogurt are also highly recommended, because the former is known for its Vitamin C, and the latter, calcium, which plays a vital role in the growth of our bodies.
3.____________.
Water is one of the most important components of our bodies, and is essential for our metabolism. We often run out of water without notice, so we should drink water even if we are not thirsty. Besides, when we get sick, we should drink more, because when our bodies fight against viruses, it causes us to lose water.
4.____________.
A person in low spirits is more likely to get sick. A happy mood not only helps people defend against viruses, but also is a best cure for most illnesses.
Follow the above rules, and you'll become as strong as a bull! Remember: diseases and viruses are not that frightening as long as you are well prepared.
A. Keep optimistic and active
B. Get plenty of exercise
C. Keep drinking water
D. Have a balanced diet

This past summer I went on a journey to Canada’s Arctic with Students On Ice. When I left Calgary I wondered what I would find what I would learn and who I would meet. On the trip to Ottawa I was wrapped in a blanket of uncertainty and excitement. But when I first met the group of students, scientists and leaders, I knew that l didn’t have anything to worry about. The group was amazingly receptive and I was soon part of a big family setting out on an amazing adventure—an adventure of a lifetime!
When we reached the Arctic I saw a vast Land that appeared untouched and original. I was surprised by its great size and beauty and my senses were repeatedly shocked and amazed. I stood on the Kapitan Khlebnikov and saw twelve polar bears. They walked in search of seal holes, and patiently waited for a meal. I learned that polar bears are successful only one out of every twenty hunting attempts.
However, I learned that the Arctic and its people are being threatened by pollution and global warming. I learned that pollutants are carried by ocean and air and have a bad effect on all Arctic people. I learned that global warming has put polar bears at risk because a warmer climate means that they have a shorter time to hunt seals on the ice.
The trip was a feast (盛宴) for the senses. I have learned more about our environment, and particularly how alive and interesting the Arctic is and why it is so important to take care of it. I learned pollution, ignorance of individual and global problems need to be solved. The Arctic deserves to he preserved. My trip with Students On Ice has made me more determined to try to ensure that I do not leave harmful footprints on either Earth or its people.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The writer was too excited to bring a blanket.
B. The writer was thrilled and full of wonder before the trip.
C. The group the writer joined was strict with its members.

2.Which is true about the polar bears according to the passage?
A. It’s not easy for them to catch seals.
B. They are at risk because the land is vast and untouched.
C. They prefer a little warmer climate.
D. They warmly welcomed the writer and her party.
3.How did the writer feel about the trip according to the last paragraph?
A. Surprising. B. Alarming.
C. Appealing. D. Rewarding.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Global Warming and Canada’s Arctic B. The Arctic Is under Severe Threat
C. My Trip to the Canadian Arctic D. Polar Bears and Me
