Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.” 1. The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death.” So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.
This is life: full of chances and challenges. 2. For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. 3.
Each time I saw children playing games, and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. 4. So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.
I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. 5.It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.
A.At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream.
B.I suddenly knew what competition was.
C.Now I understand more about the world.
D.In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.
E.I learned a lot from realizing this fact.
F.However, I remembered my parents’ words: “You must work very hard in order to have a good future.”
G.Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises.

In 2005, Winston Duncan was traveling with his mother in Southern Africa when he saw an old lady and young boy walking down a road together. He thought of his own grandmother and wondered how he could help the old lady and others in Africa who have to walk a long way.
Duncan, who lived in Washington State was 10 at the time, and his solution was to give them bikes. With his mom, he started Wheels to Africa, an organization that for the past 14 years has taken bicycles donated from residents of the. Washington area and shipped them across the world to people in need.
Most of the 8000 bikes they have collected have gone to countries in Africa, helping cut down hours of walking for students and other postmen. But last week, Duncan, travelled with a handful of volunteers and 400 bikes to a destination much closer to his home yet still in need: Puerto Rico. More than a year after it was destroyed by Hurricane Maria, the island suffers from transportation problems.
"It was a little chaotic (混乱的) — as soon as they got their bikes, they were just having fun riding around the parking lot," said Austin Higgins, a New Jersey resident who recently joined Wheels to Africa as its photographer and videographer. "Some people who received bicycles were almost speechless, and some of them cried, because it was something they had requested for Christmas from Santa Claus," he said.
The donated bikes included some high-end racing models, which went to teenagers interested in pursuing serious cycling.
Duncan recently graduated from Bard College and is in Arlington working at a political consulting firm. He now encourages kids in the Washington area to get involved with the organization, and some have joined him on trips to Africa and on this trip to Puerto Rico.
"I wanted to try to get people to think about giving back,” he said.
1.Why did Winston Duncan start Wheels to Africa?
A.He hoped to make his grandmother feel happy.
B.He was fond of collecting different types of bikes.
C.He wanted to help the poor people to live better.
D.He was greatly supported by his mother to do so.
2.What can we learn about Wheels to Africa?
A.It has been managed for fourteen years.
B.It has delivered about 400 bikes to Africa.
C.It has many young kids as its members now.
D.It collects bicycles from all the areas in the U. S.
3.What can we infer from Austin Higgin's words in Paragraph Four?
A.The delivery usually meets with some trouble.
B.The people who got bikes were excited and grateful.
C.It was very difficult for Duncan to collect enough bikes.
D.People in Africa required him to dress up as Santa Claus.
4.What is probably the best title of the text?
A.Wheels to Africa. B.Trip to Puerto Rico.
C.Duncan, a Generous Person. D.Hurricane in Puerto Rico.

When my brother Joey was 6 months old, my mother brought him home from the hospital and told me to watch him while she fixed supper. We started playing a game I called “dogs”, rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up and saw my mother watching us. She was crying.
“He’s blind,” she said. “The doctor told me today.”
I looked at Joey. He was laughing. “He can’t be blind,” I said. “He smiles at my face.”
“He smiles at your voice,” she said. “He’ll never see your face.”
That was that. Joey was blind. Mama went back to cooking. I went back to playing a dog. From the age of 8, Joey boarded at a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille (盲文). When he was 16, the school said he’d learned enough and sent him home with a Braille typewriter. At 21, Joey moved out to live on his own, he said, “like a man,” in an apartment 30 miles (48 km) away. He learned to cook, clean, do his own laundry, and do almost anything else he needed.
Then he met the love of his life. She, too, was blind. When Joey called to tell me, he said: “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.”
They shared 10 good years before he lost her to cancer. Painfully soon after, he also lost our mother, who was his champion, and our stepfather, who was Joey’s best friend.
What is left when you lose the loves of your life? My brother clung with an iron fist (拳头) to three gifts: Faith, hope and love.
His faith grew stronger. He always had hope. And his love for his family has never gotten weaker, despite death or disappointment. Loved ones leave, but love remains.
The years ahead may prove to be his hardest. His legs are growing weaker, threatening to take away the independence he’s fought so hard to keep.
My sister and I often wonder what will happen if Joey can’t live on his own. It’s not up to us. We’ll do what we can, but it’s his life. He won’t have it any other way.
You don’t find strength to do something until it’s time to do it. Joey has found it whenever he has needed it. I believe he will again.
1.When the author’s mother brought her little brother Joey back from the hospital, the author _____.
A. was sad because he couldn’t see things clearly
B. immediately introduced him to the family dog
C. worried that he might steal her mother’s love from her
D. had great fun playing a game with him
2.Which of the following order of events is CORRECT according to the article?
a. Joey started learning Braille at a school for the deaf and the blind.
b. Joey moved out to live independently and learned to cook and clean.
c. Joey was sent back home with his Braille typewriter.
d. Joey had a hard time when he lost three beloved family members.
e. Joey fell in love with a blind girl the first time they met.
A. a b e d c B. a c b e d C. a c e b d D. a e c b d
3.What is the key message the author wants to convey through the article?
A. People have to spend more time with their loved ones.
B. The disabled deserve our respect and support so that they can live an independent life.
C. Love, hope and determination can keep a man going despite hardship.
D. People should learn to get over the loss of their loved ones as love always remains.
4.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The belief in finding love again
B. The strength to deal with difficulties.
C. The love for his family

Once when I was six years old I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Nature about the forest. It was a picture of a snake in the act of swallowing an animal. In the book it said: "Snakes swallow the whole animal without chewing(嚼)it. After that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion(消化)."
I thought deeply then over the adventures of the forest. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: "Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?"
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a snake digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the snake so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. That's my Drawing Number Two.
The grown-ups' answer this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of snakes whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, maths and grammar. That is why at the age of six I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been discouraged by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand simple things by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
So then I chose another profession(职业)and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very good for me. I can tell China from Arizona easily. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.
In my life I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which 1have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But whoever it was, he or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about snakes or forests or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about golf and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a wise man. For him I am a normal man.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ______
A. The writer wants to draw a hat in Drawing Number One.
B. The writer sees an elephant eaten by a snake in the forest.
C. Drawing Number Two shows the inside of the big snake.
D. The two drawings of the writer make people very scared.
2.Why do people tell the writer to study same subjects instead of drawing in Paragraph 4? ______
A. Because those subjects are more useful and helpful.
B. Because those subjects are only about simple things.
C. Because his drawings are too difficult to understand.
D. Because his drawings are not good for people at all.
3.In Paragraph 6, why does the writer always keep his Drawing Number One? ______
A. To show off his good drawing.
B. To know who truly understands life.
C. To make other people pleased.
D. To bring himself down to a low level.
4.The grown-up in the last paragraph thinks the writer is normal because the writer ______ .
A. is good at drawing
B. flies a plane all over the world
C. talks about snakes or forests or stars
D. talks about sport, politics and clothing
5.The passage is most probably taken from ______ .
A. a travel guide B. a science report
C. a news story D. a story book

Kenyon Scudder once told me a story about his friend, Michael. Michael happened to be on a train sitting next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a convict (罪犯) returning home from a prison far away. What he did had brought shame (羞耻) on his family, and they had neither visited him nor written to him. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too busy to write.
When he was set free he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them, however, he had asked them to put up a signal (信号) for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had forgiven (原谅) him, they were to put up a white ribbon (丝带) in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didn't want him back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.
As the train neared his hometown his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his hand on the young convict’s shoulder. "There it is," he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. "It’s all right. The whole tree is white with ribbons."
