A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts, he neglected (忽视) the elder son. It was completely puzzling (令人费解) and no one knew why.

When the boys grew up, they were asked to manage the father’s business. The elder son was absorbed in the business. From morning till late in the evening, he was busy working. Within a few years, he ran the business very well and even expanded (扩大) it.

What about the younger son? He didn't have much to do except have a good time. But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a successful businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.

A few years later, the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, the younger son continued spending his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business. But the elder son’s far smaller share (份) of business had expanded and he had proved himself to be a good decision maker.

Ashamed at the turn of events, the father met the elder son and was angry with the younger one. The elder son, who was listening to all this quietly, suddenly said he wanted to set up an independent business and live on his own.

“Why?” asked the father.

“I blame (责备) one person for the way my brother has turned out, and it’s not him. You can’t blame children for the faults (过失) of their parents, can you?” asked the elder son.

As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want their younger brother listening to their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.

I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I hardly saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn't know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking(舔) my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I patted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.

I believe that God sent him at that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.

1.How did the writer feel when his brothers’ friends came?

A. Proud.　　　　　 B. Worried.　　　　

C. Lonely.　　　　　 D. Happy.

2.The writer shared his troubles and thoughts with the dog because ______.

A. it was his friend　　　　　　　　　　 B. it could understand him

C. it looked like an angel　　　　　　　 D. it was friendly to him

3.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that ______.

A. the boy met a long lost friend

B. the boy had no friends at school

C. the dog spent the afternoon with the boy and his brothers

D. the dog helped the boy realize that he was loved

4.The author wrote the story to______.

A. encourage people to talk about their troubles

B. show knowing you are loved is the most important

C. tell people they should treat animals friendly

D. share his unforgettable experience with us

The SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities. The other test is called the ACT. More than 2 million students take the SAT yearly, including about 100,000 foreign students. The organization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016. The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used words. But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights.

The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage. Students will be asked to tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages. Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University. She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students. The new test will be easier because of the reform.

Eddie West is with the College Board. He says the new test will better predict a student’s performance in college. The changes are moving the test in a positive direction. The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abilities that students need to succeed. The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students. After all, they live in different countries with different cultures. But it’s a good chance for them to understand the Declaration of Independence or Martin Luther King’s work, or anything else that might be tested.

Students from other countries, particularly those who did not grow up learning English, may feel it is more difficult. For them, the test is in a foreign language. But the College Board says it has formed a free, online educational service. Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.

1.What will be tested in the new SAT?

A. All the different meanings of a word.

B. The rare usage of the common words.

C. The difficult words for foreign students.

D. The proper meaning of the words in the passages.

2.The new SAT could be more difficult for international students because 　　 　　 .

A. they are short of skills and abilities

B. they often perform badly in college

C. they know nothing about American history

D. they have different cultural backgrounds

3.What’s the main idea of the text?

A. How to prepare for the new SAT.

B. The SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.

C. Advice for foreign students on passing the SAT.

D. Tests for entrance to American colleges and universities.

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.

Canada left the Britain in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.

Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.

The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example. Outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you'll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels（标签）and instructions in both languages.

In Canada's English speaking provinces, official bilingualism（双语）means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this programme, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten（幼儿园）or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school, 25 per cent of the teaching will continue to be in English.

1. How many provinces are there in Canada?

A. Ten　　　　　　　　 B.Nine　　　　　　 C.Eleven　　　　　　 D.Two

2.Which country controlled Canada before its independence?

A. France.　　　　　　 B. Britain.　　　　　 C. America.　　　 D. Germany.

3.Which of the following sentences is Right?

A. English is the only official language, though French is also spoken there.

B. The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.

C. All products sold in Canada must be explained in both English and French.

D. In any restaurant in Canada, you can find French on the menu.

4.In Canada’s English speaking provinces, what does official bilingualism means?

A. Students have to complete a special French language course.

B. Under the programme, the students are mainly taught in English.

C. If a student begins a special French language course, in kindergarten or Grade one all his lessons may be in French.

D. When the students are at junior high school, they will only be taught in English.
