I was listening to the radio while 1 was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something 41  by the mood of the speaker.

Throughout my 40-minute 43, I listened as sincere love and affection from the audience 44.The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more 45I became.

That was because I wanted to know46we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they 47to us?

Life is too short to leave kind words 59. How I wish that when the unavoidable funeral finally comes，we could say60with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.

An 18-year-old girl from Austria is taking her parents to court for posting over 500 photos of her on Facebook since 2009, without her permission.

Anna Meier has apparently become fed up with her parents refusal to take down intimate and embarrassing photos of her dating back to when she was a toddler, and is now seeking justice in court.

She said that when she was 11 years old, her parents started sharing photos of her with several hundreds of Facebook friends, without ever asking if it was alright with her. “They didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot – every stage was photographed and then made public,” she said. The girl added that she was only able to see the photos posted on Facebook by her parents when she was 14, after setting up her own account on the world’s most popular social network. Angry and upset, Anna asked her mother and father to remove the over 500 photos of her immediately, but they refused. She kept asking them over the years, but faced with constant refusal, she felt that she had no other way to coerce them than taking them to court. Which she did as soon as she turned 18, this year.

Although Anna is convinced that her right to privacy has been violated, her parents, on the other hand, see nothing wrong with posting baby photos of her. However, a German law firm advises parents not to post photos of children on Facebook without　 their　 consent.　 Apart　 from　 legal　 consequences　 and　 subsequent　 compensation,　 they　 also　 risk　 making　 their children-especially those of school age-targets for cyber-bullying(网络暴力).

1.What does the underlined word “intimate”(in Paragraph 2) mean?

A. close　　 B. shameful

C. private　　 D. ugly

2.In which year was Anna able to see the photos posted by her parents?

A. 1998　　 B. 2002

C. 2009　　 D. 2012

3.Why are take her parents to court?

A. The photos her parents posted were embarrassing

B. Her parents refused to remove the photos of her.

C. She became fed up with her parents

D. She wanted her parents to be punished

4.What does the German law firm advises parents to do?

A. Protect children from cyber-bullying

B. Never post photos of children

C. Post photos of children with their permission

D. Always take children seriously

It’s such a shame to lose a free throw. Playing in the court has pressure from the opponent, time, your teammates, the audience, and yourself. You have to shoot the ball despite all the pressures around. But with a free throw, you have the ball, no one will try to get it from you, and you have all the time to shoot the ball. But why is it that many players, even good shooters, miss most of their free throws? Maybe they need more practice or maybe they need to apply more ways to improve their free throw.

Improve your player or your free throwing skills by following the tips below:

Make it personal. The truth is, there is no rule on how one should handle and throw the ball in a free throw. What matters is that the player should shoot the ball from the free throw line no matter how he does it. So when trying to improve your free throw shooting, better stick to what works the best for you. Do not copy other people’s techniques. Make it your own and leave those techniques as theirs.

Formulate (公式化) a repetitive way of shooting the ball. A free throw should be personalized. But it should also be repetitive. You should be able to repeat your free throw techniques whether you are in your court or in another court, whether you are energized or tired. You can’t say you have a personal free throw technique if you can’t repeat it over and over again.

Shoot at the same position and distance for every free throw. Basketball courts may be located in different places or maybe marked with different paint colors. But all of these courts maintain the same distance from the ring to the free throw line. Familiarize your perfect position when making your free throws. That should help you do your perfect throw.

1.Why do so many players fail to make a successful free throw?

A. Because they don’t have any special skills.

B. Because they are lacking in practice and tips.

C. Because they are not so familiar with rules.

D. Because many of them are green hands.

2.What can you do if you want to be a wonderful free thrower?

A. Learn from others.

B. Form your own throwing skills.

C. Keep active in the court.

D. Learn to throw in different locations.

3.The underlined word “ring” in the last paragraph may most probably mean “________”.

A. sound　　 B. basket　　 C. ball　　 D. group

4.Which of the following might serve as the best title of the above passage?

A. How to play basketball successfully in the court.

B. How to improve your basketball throw skills.

C. How to gain more points in throwing.

D. How to improve your basketball free throwing.

For many people.leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors,have some fun and meet interesting people.Add two pieces of advanced 21st century technology—global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet—to get "geocaching".

The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage).Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache—usually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toys and CDs—along with a notebook where “finders” can enter comments and learn about the cache “owner”,the person who created and hid the cache.Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value.They then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.

Geocaching became possible on May 1,2000,when a satellite system developed by the U.S.Department of Defense was made public.Using an inexpensive GPS device,anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about their position.This is basically a high-tech version of orienteering,the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of GPS to determine one’s location.

Geocachers are a very considerate group.Owners carefully choose a cache’s location to give finders an enjoyable experience,such as a beautiful view or a good campsite.They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitors to an area.As for the content of the caches,owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for the whole family,as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.

1.According to the passage,geocaching is_______.

A. an outdoor leisure activity

B. a new type of technology

C. a game used to teach geography

D. a program to protect environment

2.How can finders learn about the cache owners?

A. By meeting them.　　 B. By going to a website.

C. From the notebook.　　 D. From the satellite.

3.Which of the following is NOT used in geocaching?

A. A GPS device.　　 B. A compass.

C. A plastic container.　　 D. The Internet.

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Most geocachers are adults.

B. Any item can be placed in the caches.

C. The caches should be put in a remote place.

D. Geocachers try to avoid damaging the environment.
