“Fire! Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped outside the house. There was full of thick smoke.
I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.
I saw a doorway in fire, then I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry, I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.
She was the Mayor’s wife, and I had saved her baby.
1. When the fire arose in the middle of the night, the author was _______.
A.at home B.sleeping C.sitting in bed D.both A and B
2. The author saved the baby _____.
A.because he was very brave.
B.because he liked the baby very much.
C.but he just happened to save it.
D.because it was the Mayor’s baby.
3.He ran in the wrong direction because he _______.
A.was a stranger there B.could see nothing
C.was not completely awake D.Both A and C
4. He put the bundle over his face and ran in order to ______.
A.save the baby B.call for help
C.protect his face D.run quickly

When you hear the word “recycling”, what comes to your mind? The color green or global warming?
What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more than good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a lot to do with the recycling of ideas.
Environmental unrest is not the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread across the online world.
Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? I’m guessing it has been quite a while. Why do you think top bloggers of today win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their ideas? With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the ever increasing mass of digital smog.
The first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling, you will then be forced to take up the task of creating from your own ideas. When you recycle an excellent idea, it soon becomes good. When you recycle a good idea, it soon becomes just OK. The chain continues until the key part of what used to make the idea good is saturated, leaving you nothing but a pile of mess.
In order not to pollute, your ideas must go beyond “just recycled”. Your ideas must stand out from the pollution of the web. For your voice and talent to be heard and seen, you must go far beyond the standard copy of your neighbours’ ideas.
For the next week, make a promise not to recycle. Let your ideas flourish and flow. Believe in your ability to create, because the death of recycling starts with YOU.
1.Which is true about top bloggers of today according to the writer?
A. They often recycle their ideas.
B. They tend to express many fresh ideas.
C. They are not worth much respect.
D. They make good use of others’ ideas.
2.What is the meaning of the underlined word “saturated” in paragraph 5?
A. many and good B. useful but not enough C. many but not good D. beneficial
3.This passage is written mainly for ________.
A. top bloggers B. common bloggers
C. environmental polluters D. net researchers
4.The main purpose of this passage is ________.
A. to remind people to pay attention to environmental protection
B. to prove that the web environment is becoming worse and worse
C. to warn people not to pollute our web environment with bad words
D. to call on people to write online more creatively instead of repeating

Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.
He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock(闹钟). He tried to shave(刮脸) quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed, he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all.

When I wake up on summer mornings, I know I am going to my favorite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone's life just by being with him or her -- a summer school for autistic (患孤独症的)children.
By helping the kids read or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping them feel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas.
Of course, each kid is special. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.
At the school, the kids learn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skills they will need later in life.
The very first day I volunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said “Hello”. From then on, I knew I could make a difference.
Another boy loved to have me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could be encouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during reading practice, he read nearly 220 words himself!
Summer school is also a time for fun, Last summer, bagpipe(风箱)players came to perform. Most of us had our hands over our ears because they were so loud. When they asked for a volunteer from the audience, one girl raised her hand as high as she could, got up on stage, and even tried the bagpipes in front of everyone.
Through these experiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing many amazing things. I'm teaching them, but they are teaching me more.
1.According to Paragraph 2, many people think autistic kids _________ .
A. can't read or do math B. don't have important skills
C. don’t play with other kids D. can't think or feel
2.The phrase “these experiences” in the last paragraph refers to the following EXCEPT ________ .
A. “I” read the books for kids
B. a boy read nearly 220 words himself
C. a girl tried the bagpipes on stage as a volunteer
D. a boy said hello to“ me” politely
3.What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?
A. His teaching experience in a summer holiday.
B. How to make a difference in others' lives.
C. His experience as a volunteer in a special summer school.
D. Autistic children's hard life.
