He all he could, but one November day, he passed away. At that time, my parents were visiting him in Chicago, and my other grandparents from Virginia were us. Our parents came home early that visit. I still remember they sat all of us down and told us the news. I felt a(n) of depression, loss and . I ran outside into the crisp November air and silent tears.
Almost a year passed, and we were eating dinner at the dinner table. A discussion started about how we could help find a for cancer to save other families from tragedies. My older sister Molly and I came up with the idea to sell honey from our Virginia grandparents’ beehives. I came up with the name Hives for Lives and we had our business !

In the year 2017, the world lost many great musicians. Their deaths were felt over the world and country music star Keith Lionel Urban honored these musicians in a very special way. During a New Year’s Eve concert, Keith talked about all the greats that passed away and how some of them were music and life coaches or examples to him. That was when Keith decided to put together a mixture of songs from all of these artists.
At the concert, pictures of some of the most eminent people in the music industry appeared across the screen. As their pictures appeared, Keith sang the songs that the artists were best-known for. Each performance was truly moving, and the audience loved it. Instead of thinking it was a sad moment, everyone was able to think about how much joy these artists brought to the music industry.
Keith sang a few lines from songs by Chris Cornell, Gregg Allman, Chuck Berry, Don Williams, Glen Campbell and Troy Gentry. The audience cheered aloud whenever he changed from one song to another. It was amazing how smoothly he played through the different styles of music. It was a perfect interpretation of his gift.
When he got to the final song, he invited his wife to join him on stage to dance and close out the night. Then his two daughters joined their parents. It was really an unforgettable performance.
Music truly has the ability to touch a special place in our hearts and even if we do not know these artists personally, their songs have meant a lot to many of us. I am sure those artists would have been so proud to hear him sing their music. It is a way to honor those late artists and celebrate the joy they brought to our lives!

I am the proud owner of three pet dogs. Over the years, I have watched their behaviours carefully that help me when I travel around the world.
One important lesson that my dog, Cody, taught me is how to deal with little problems in life. From his calm behavior when someone knocked unexpectedly at the door to the indifferent way he has dealt with his recent serious illness, he has always had the same easy-going attitude. This attitude is an important lesson to me in how I can face difficult situations when travelling, I've learned to try to handle bad situations calmly, such as when we miss a train? lose luggage? and so on.
Another dog of mine, Preston, loves to walk around the yard, spending hours smelling every place and finding out what it means to him. Taking it slowly is another lesson that's been very hard for me to learn. As an active traveller, I am actually experiencing less by speeding through everything, rather than slowly getting to know a place. Even if it means that you won't see as many things, going slowly when you travel is the only way to really get to know a new place. Rushing around a foreign city isn't fun at all.
My dog, Moya, came from a truly bad situation. I am not sure what happened to her before； I just know it wasn't good. And while she has become more relaxed over the years, she is still slightly on edge. She is very cautious when faced with any new situation. But once she's accustomed to her new surroundings, she is fine. She doesn't let fear influence her experience. The same can be applied to our travel experience. No matter where we go, we need to manage new situations with caution--while at the same time not letting that caution turn into fear.
Many thanks to my pets. Truly speaking, pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies. To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family. After all, pets are people, too, with the help of whom I am able to gain a lot and live differently.
1.One of the three dogs, Cody,_______ .
A.once suffered from a serious illness
B.is excited when under pressure
C.enjoys walking around the yard
D.is unable to deal with new situations
2.From Preston, the author learned that one should ______.
A.pay attention to the details in life
B.try to see as many things as possible when travelling
C.stay indifferent to strangers
D.travel around slowly and have fun
3.The underlined phrase "on edge" in the fourth paragraph probably means “_____ ”.
A.hungry B.nervous C.calm D.angry
4.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A.
B.
C.
D.

A family had had a cat for years-a much loved pet who also loved them. Then, one day, the children finally managed to persuade their parents to get them a puppy as well. And so a cute little Labrador made his entrance.
Everyone loved the puppy. However, the cat made it very clear she did not appreciate another pet in the house. She hissed(发出嘶嘶声)and tried to scratch the little puppy---but the puppy just loved the cat anyway. He followed her everywhere, trying to play with her. What a sight it was—the little dog trying to make friends with the angry cat. No amount of bad behavior from the cat could persuade the puppy not to love the cat. The family figured the cat would never like the dog.
A few weeks passed. Then one day they heard horrible screaming from their back yard. They ran to the window to see what was happening. It took a while for them to believe their eyes. A lynx(猞猁)was on their back yard and it was just planning on grabbing their cat for lunch. The poor cat had no chance—it was screaming but had nowhere to run or hide. It would only be a matter of seconds and their cat would be dead.
And then the unimaginable happened. Out of nowhere a black lighting ran to the rescue. The little Labrador was only half grown but it attacked the lynx with all its might. It was barking on top of its lungs, ready to bite the other to bits. The lynx decided it was time to go and disappeared into the woods.
And ever since that day the cat’s behavior toward the dog changed totally. Now it was the cat that followed the hero dog everywhere.

A. A little cat B. A type of dog
C. A nice toy D. A cute child
2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. Everyone loved the puppy
B. The cat tried to scratch the little puppy
C. The puppy’s bad behavior made the cat angry

3.What happened on the back yard one day?
A. The dog saved the cat from a lynx
B. The family members screamed horribly
C. A black lighting tore the lynx to bits
D. The cat attacked a lynx with all its might
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The dog proved a better pet than the cat
B. The cat and the dog lived in harmony at last
C. Lynxes often came to their back yard to hunt for food
D. The hero dog did not like the cat following him everywhere
