A few days ago, I went to school with lots of books，hoping to get a locker (锁柜). Suddenly, it started raining heavily. I hurried to pay for my locker, but I was disappointed when they informed me they only accepted cash. I was $ 7.00 short, which meant I had to carry the books back home. It would be an exhausting (令人精疲力竭的) two-hour journey back home with all those books.
An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem. He asked how much cash I needed. When I told him I was $7 short, he quickly took out the money from his wallet .“You don’t have to pay me back ,”he said. I was speechless; I didn't know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. “He’s really nice ,”said the student. I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways.
The next day, I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and didn't expect I would give it back. “I’m very happy,” he said,“not because I’m getting my money back, but because this is the right way to go---whatever you get from this world, give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”
Later, I found out he wasn’t involved with any charity（慈善）organizations. He has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier, someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since.
He taught me a very important lesson in life. We come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own, it will become somebody else’s and whatever we leave, it will become somebody else’s.
1.Why did the writer need a locker in the school?
A．To help him get away from the sudden rain.
B．To store his large quantity of books.
C．To carry it back home with his books inside.
D．To make it easier for him to go on a trip.
2.When the old gentleman offered the money, the writer was________.
A．touched B．amazed C．hesitant D．embarrassed
3.From Paragraph 3 we learn that ________.
A．the gentleman worked in the school
B．the gentleman was kind but forgetful
C．the gentleman thought it right to give back to society
D．the gentleman refused to take back the money
4.From the passage we can conclude that_______.
A．people shouldn't focus too much on money
B．the writer often takes many books to school
C．there was only $ 7 in the writer's wallet
D．the writer lived not far from the school

They tell us when to get up or when we’re running late for work and whether we are in danger of missing our favourite TV programme. But while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time, science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. Circadian rhythms---the human body’s own internal clock---have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns.
In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.
The latest example, from experts at Harvard University in the US, shows that the human body clock can even dictate whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. Researchers found it was easier for people to fib（撒小谎） in the afternoon because, as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. Tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies---especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end.
“The body clock has a great effect on us all,” says Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University. “Most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. But the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. That’s because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. One reason may be to ensure we get home safely. When our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.”
So what effects do circadian rhythms have and what’s the best time of day to take advantage of them?
1.The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .
A. our clocks B. scientists and experts
C. our daily routines D. circadian rhythms
2.The research referred to in Paragraph 3 found that people tend to .
A. tell lies when they are tired
B. tell lies if they are rewarded
C. lose temper as they become tired
D. break down because they are tired
3. According to the passage, when are people most quick-thinking?
A. In the morning. B. Around midday.
C. In the late afternoon. D. In the early evening.
4.What information will the writer probably present following the last paragraph?
A. Some practical suggestions to prevent people from lying.
B. Examples of how the human body clocks control the body.
C. Examples of the most suitable time to do different activities.
D. An explanation of how the human body clock controls the body.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Rebuild your body clock B. Timing is everything
C. Sleep more, lie less D. Your time is limited

“The price of books for our students is just getting higher and higher and，combined with the rising cost of tuition，it’s killing these students，”said Peter Jason，a college professor．“Remember，students are one of the poorest groups of people in America．Almost half of them have at least one part-time job．In fact，one of my students has three jobs．And she still manages to have high scores and go to school full-time.”
Textbook prices are traditionally high．Adding to that problem，many college teachers change textbooks year after year；they either upgrade to a new edition or switch to an entirely different textbook．This further hurts students because if an instructor no longer uses a particular textbook，that book has no resale value．
Dr．Jason decided to make lire a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing his own book on public speaking．“Many books have an increased price because of CD-ROMs，lots of color photographs and pictures．I talked to my students，and many of them，like me，prefer to keep things simple! So，a few years ago，I wrote my own textbook．Compared to most other public speaking books，mine is half the number of pages，and one-third the price．That is，$30 instead of $90．When I wrote a second edition last year，students only had to buy the 35 new pages, For only $7．00，they had almost a new book. Now my loose-leaf textbook enjoys great popularity among the students．Maybe in the future more writers and publishers will try it．”
1.What did Dr. Jason say about students at college?
A．They are short of money． B．They need better textbooks
C．They should do part-time jobs． D．They are trying to get high scores．
2.What did Dr．Jason decide to do to help the students?
A．To choose cheaper textbooks． B．To write a textbook himself．
C．To speak to his students. D．To use old textbooks．
3.How much does a public speaking textbook usually cost?
A．About 7 dollars. B．About 30 dollars.
C．About 37 dollars． D．About 90 dollars．
4.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A．Dr Jason's textbook has CD-ROMs and nice pictures.
B．More writers and publishers will write simpler textbooks．
C．Dr．Jason teaches public speaking at a college．
D．Dr-Jason’s textbook is not well received．
