One of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover (恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture (混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don’t break!
1.What does the underlined word “snap” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A. break B. change C. win D. complain
2. What can help people get through sufferings according to the writer?
A. Holding peace and quiet in mind.
B. Waiting until sufferings disappear.
C. Experiencing more bad times.
D. Hoping for a better tomorrow.
3.What would be the best title of this passage?
A. Memories of Bamboo
B. Be Like Bamboo
C. Enjoying Bamboo

As a child，one of my favorite things to do was to go to the river and sit on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet. Watching the river, listening to the chirps（鸟鸣 ）of the birds and the sound of moving leaves in the tress relaxed me after a hard day at school.
I noticed that the bamboo trees would bend(弯曲) in the wind. However, after the wind had died down they would stand up again.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability. the word “resilience” comes to mind. This word means the ability to overcome shock, low spirits and other difficult situations quickly.
Have you ever felt like you are about to break suddenly? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived(幸免) such an experience.
During the experience you probably had mixed emotions(情感). You felt very tired.
Life is a mixture of good times and bad things, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are having a bad time or unhappy moment, bend but don’t break. Try your hardest not to let the situation take control of you.
Hope will get you through the unhappy times. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be.
If life gets hard and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!

Two people sit down to play Go（围棋）. One of the players is an old man. He is now 89 years old. He has spent all of his life playing this game. The other person is a young woman. She has been playing Go for only three years. Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games. Now she plays Go the same way she played computer games---by becoming a machine herself.
They will play many games, until they know who the winner is. The woman shows no feelings but thinking about all the possible ways of placing her next stone. The old man, on the other hand, looks at the movements of her hands and of her face. This has always helped him to win.
He wins the first three games. She wins the next game, and the man is surprised. He has never lost to a woman. The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He can’t read her face, he does not understand her way of playing.
“The way I think about the game”, says the woman, “is that it is steps for getting what I want.” Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life itself, and not a model of life. “There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing,” he says.
They cannot agree with each other, but it is not necessary. “Change is a necessary part of life”, thinks the man. “Playing is as important as winning”, thinks the woman.
They start to play their final game.
1. According to the passage, the Go games are played by .
A. Two Go beginners B. two Go lovers
C. father and daughter D. husband and wife
2.. Before the woman plays Go, she was
A. a computer game player B. a computer science teacher
C. a computer engineer D. a computer store owner
3.. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The old man loses the third game to the woman.
B. The old man wins all the games against the woman.
C. The woman has her own way of playing Go.
D. The woman is very slow in learning how to play Go.
4. What is the best title of the passage?
A. An Old Go Player B. A Strange Woman
C. A Boring Game D. Winning or Playing

This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.
One of the sweetest gifts of nature is a red, ripe strawberry. There are three basic kinds of strawberries: June bearing, ever bearing and day neutrals.
June bearing are ready in the spring, so they are also called spring bearing. But gardeners will not get a crop during the first spring after planting. Ever bearing , when planted after the last winter freeze, will produce fruit during spring or early summer. A second or sometimes third crop will be ready in late summer. Day neutrals produce fruit throughout the summer months.
The University of Illinois Urban Extension says ever bearers and day neutrals are especially good for home gardens. Plant strawberries in the spring as soon as the soil is dry enough. Try to plant late in the day or on a cloudy day. The soil should cover just the roots and not the crown on top of the plant. Runners will appear in a few weeks.
Strawberries grown in containers（容器） need a soil depth of about twenty-five to thirty centimeters. Be sure the container has holes in the bottom.
Strawberries grow well in loamy soil（沃土） that lets water pass through easily. Carl Wilson at the Colorado State University Extension suggests mixing about three to five percent organic（有机的） material into the soil.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。
1.The strawberry is a kind of fruit with red color and sweet taste.
2.June bearing is usually planted in winter of last year.
3.Strawberries can grow both in gardens and in containers.
4.The right time to plant strawberries is on a wet day.
5.Strawberries only produce fruit once.

A travel journal（日记）is one of the best ways to keep a long journey in memory. While you are writing your travel journal, many things don’t seem s1., but they often turn out to be what make the trip so memorable.
It is important to have the h2. of writing your travel journal every day. When you are on a busy journey, you probably won’t remember to write. You may promise that you will write l3., but that almost never happens. Take a few minutes every day and put down your memories. It doesn’t have to be long.
Use your “down time” p4.. There is a surprising amount of sitting around while traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, or waiting in line.
In your heading, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. These are the details that people are most likely to f5.. After many years when you read your journal, you will know exactly what you were doing on that day.
Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine, but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection（自我反思）. Memories of these feelings fade（褪去） quickly with time, so it is important to write about those experiences when the memories are still f6..
Keep ticket stubs（票根）. Whenever you use a ticket for a train or a museum or a ride, stick the stubs to your journal. They are also a good r7. of your travel experiences. One day you can look at the ticket stubs and see exactly what you were doing on a certain day and how much it cost.

For most people the holiday season is a time of joy. It's always time to make memories as a family. For me, it is a time of loneliness-for I have been away from my family in Iran while studying in the United State.

The dinner was well prepared. Maria's aunt ate while standing at a corner of the small, ole table. I felt a little uncomfortable, knowing that I was taking her place, but her gesture（手势）expressed the. hospitality（好客）.
After dinner, Maria handed a small box to me. Inside I found the tie-clasp I still use to this day.
