My first visit to Angkor Wat was in 1980. The country had been at war for many years and the temple was deserted and falling to pieces. Plants were growing out of the roofs, and trees were growing in the courtyards.
Today, the temple is the scene of a busy repair programme. A team of 15 Indian experts are organizing a workforce of 400 Cambodians, most of them women, who are cleaning, repairing and rebuilding parts of this temple.
As I walked through the courtyards, I noticed the Cambodian women devote hours to cleaning carefully a tiny area of stone. Boards are laid down to protect the precious painted stones while the repair work is going on. There are very few machines and little heavy equipment. Workers carry building materials in buckets at the end of long poles. Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced.
The work of cleaning the stones is watched over by three Indian chemists. It is a very slow task. First they clean the stones with brushes using buckets of a weak chemical. Then gaps between the stones are filled in. Finally another material is painted onto the stones which will protect them from water forever.
Work starts every day at 7 a. m. and goes on until late afternoon six days a week, with a break at midday.
Evening is the best time to visit the temple, after the tour groups have left. As the sun sinks lower, shadows spread across the courtyard. After sunset, the sky turns pink. The grey stone towers take on a golden colour before turning pink. Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet, beautiful place.

A. the poor look of the temple Angkor Wat in 1980.

2.According to the author, which of the following plays the least important role in the repair work?
A. The women workers. B. The Indian workers

B. the temple was built on desert and nobody noticed it
C. the temple was very old with a long history
D. the temple was repaired by the Cambodians, most of whom women

The year 2013 was very bad for my life. Due to illness I had to be in hospital for the first time in my life. Everything went wrong in the work. On personal front, my marriage date was fixed but that guy left me just a week before our engagement. I was almost in depression because of whatever all happened to me. I was struggling to come out of this situation as it was a very bad period of my life.
In those days, I met a guy in the office. This guy was much younger to me but still very soon, we became good friends. We had so much in common that we spent a lot of time talking with each other. On my birthday, he offered to share my birthday evening. It was a lovely evening and I felt so nice. He made my birthday so special that I couldn’t help crying. Very soon, our friendship became stronger and finally we fell in love in just a few days. These days it’s very rare that people get love in return. So I found myself so lucky that I experienced equal love in return. It’s always the inner beauty that makes a person beautiful and he made me realize how beautiful I was and brought my confidence back. He not only loved me so much but also helped me in many ways to solve my other problems. I became more and more confident and made great progress in my work.
This man came into my life like an angel when I needed him most. I got thousands of reasons to hate 2013 but just one reason which made 2013 very special was enough to forget all bad memories. I owe so much to him and don’t know if I would ever be able to repay for what he has done for me. I would like to take this opportunity to tell him “THANK YOU SO MUCH, my dear”.
Also, I want to convey one message to everyone. In life we always pass through lots of ups and downs. Sometimes our circumstance becomes even worse, which affects us badly but we should never lose hope. We will always see the sunshine even after the darkest night.
1.How did the author feel about the year 2013 at first?
A. It was lively. B. It was wonderful.
C. It was important. D. It was unpleasant.
2.The second paragraph is developed mainly .
A. by giving examples B. by showing the reason
C. by making contrasts D. by the order of time
3.What does the author want to tell the readers through the last paragraph?
A. No sweat, no sweet. B. Grasp all, lose all.
C. Never lose hope in difficulties. D. Love me, love my dog.
4.What’s the purpose of the author in writing the passage?
A. To tell us about her experiences in 2013.
B. To show us how to stick to our aims.
C. To share her ways of keeping healthy with us.
D. To show us how to help ourselves in difficulties.

When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learnt French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me.
“Yes,”I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,”he exclaimed (惊呼).“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young？”
“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”
“Oh!”he said.“There’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we did meet up, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me.“I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other!”

My first visit to London was one and a half years ago. It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for three weeks, and I had many impressions. I visited all the famous places. I'd like to tell you about some of the places I visited in this beautiful city.
First, I went to the Tower of London, and I want to say that it is a very interesting historical place. I found out that a long time ago, it was a prison. Later it became a castle for the royal(皇家的) family. Or maybe it is the reverse; I'm not sure, but later they left this place and lived in Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.
I also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, two very popular places for tourists. They are very old and beautiful. The Abbey is built in a kind of Gothic style; it is fantastic.
In London, you can also enjoy nature. There are many parks such as Hyde Park, Green Park, and Holland Park. These parks are wonderful green, quiet places where you can relax and escape the noise of the city.
Trafalgar Square is a popular place for students and other young people. You will find lots of pigeons（鸽子） there. If you have time, you can feed them and they will be very happy. You can buy special food for them, but be careful! Tons of birds are going to surround you if you feed them.
Another very special place in London that I like is St. Paul's Cathedral which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. I also was impressed with the museums in London. They're very popular. I found them interesting because you can learn about the history of England.
I had a wonderful time in London. I really liked it because it is a city that is rich in history.
