Meeting at a church on a Friday night is not usual for most college students,but it is usual for the women members of the Alcoholics Anonymous(AA)in my hometown, which is an organization for alcoholics who want to stop drinking alcohol.AA is founded upon a number of principles,including twelve steps and twelve traditions,but the only requirement for becoming a member is a strong wish to stop drinking.

The AA meeting I attended was in a speaker week,which meant that most of the time was spent listening to a member talking about her journey with alcohol.The speaker told other members her true story of alcohol problems.The group processed the story in a positive way.I noticed several times when members laughed,smiled,and made brief supporting comments while she spoke.Later,a member named Lucy shared with me her view that"this is the kind of place where you can talk about things,and everyone just laughs...no judgment but support."Being able to talk about her feelings and experiences,receiving support,and the lack of judgment were a large part of her decision to keep coming to the meetings.

Years later,I looked back on the meeting I attended with positive memories.The members at the meeting were mothers,sisters,grandmothers,aunts,daughters,and friends.Some were professionals, some were students,and some were unemployed. Despite their differences,they united in their common goal for a better life.AA is a prime example of how a group of people follow a program and work together at changing their habits.The meeting changed the way I looked at addiction-it was no longer a monster. Now I think it's essential to have support when you're struggling with addiction,just as with any lifestyle change.

1.What is the purpose of the Alcoholics Anonymous?

A.To create a program for college students.

B.To improve the alcohol industry.

C.To help people give up drinking.

D.To break twelve traditions.

2.What is most likely to hurt Lucy's feelings according to the text?

A.Unfriendly judgment on her stories.

B.Loud laughter from the audiences.

C.Too little time left for her.

D.Silence after her speech.

3.What is the text mainly about?

A.Sharing feelings with friends.

B.My experience of an AA meeting.

C.AA helping women lead a better life.

D.Tips on getting rid of alcohol addiction.

Anyone who knew Jack knew him well. He was the first to hide under the bed covers every time the sky grew grey and thunder was heard in the distance. He was in great fear of storms. However, that day changed it all.

With dark clouds in the morning, Jack was in the car with his sister, Emily, who was driving them home. Jack was holding the sides of his seat tightly. As a result, his knuckles (指关节) turned white. Suddenly, the treacherous road conditions sent the car into a slide. The vehicle went off the wet and slippery road, rolled several times and finally rest upside down. Fortunately, both of them were wearing seat belts. Head bleeding heavily, Emily was conscious but unable to move. Thankfully Jack was unhurt.

Water poured through the broken windows of the car. Suddenly, Jack recalled something. He quickly unfastened the seat belt and moved out of the passenger window. With rain beating against his face and arms, Jack made his way to the driver’s side with great difficulty. He managed to pull her through the window. Suddenly, he felt a strong pain on his arms. It was only later that Jack realized the broken pieces of the window had cut them while he was pulling his sister through the window. Finally Jack dragged Emily up to the road. They were soon rescued.

Emily later recalled her terrifying experience and was truly amazed by his courage. Jack’s act of courage was motivated by his favourite book: The Little Engine That Could. In it, when everyone had given up hope, the Little Engine carried the heavy toys and candies over the hill to the children waiting on the other side. The Little Engine had shown courage and taken action.

Obviously, we cannot attribute Jack’s bravery to that one story but without doubt, the book had left a deep impression on him and inspired him to respond positively in a difficult situation.

1.What made it difficult for Jack to go over to the driver’s side?

A.His fear. B.The heavy rain.

C.His injuries. D.The bad road condition.

2.What does the underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Dangerous. B.Strange.

C.Special. D.Fantastic.

3.How did Emily feel about Jack’s change?

A.Annoyed. B.Embarrassed.

C.Surprised D.Puzzled.

4.What can we infer about the book mentioned in the text?

A.It was once a bestseller. B.It once inspired Emily.

C.It was intended for kid. D.It was a horror story.

There was a time when cheating was rare in schools, but today everyone is focused on making the top ten percent of their class and seems to have forgotten school’s purpose. School exists so that people will be educated. Nobody can cheat their way into being successful.

A lot of students today don’t even view cheating as wrong, and most of those who cheat have been doing it for so long that it doesn’t even faze them. This really bothers the teachers because the students who usually cheat probably will never stop to think how bad it truly is. When you cheat, you learn nothing, which is why cheating is so serious.

Our society seems to believe that the more material wealth you have, the more successful you are. As a result, it seems many people have become successful by cheating their way to the top. If students think cheating is normal, who knows what they will find acceptable as adults? Most people think that cheating on one little test doesn’t mean that you will cheat again. Unfortunately, this is not true because if you can get away with it once, you are likely to do it again.

If cheating continues in college, students will get nothing out of what they are being tested on. If a college student cheats on all the work they do for their major, when and if they get a job, that person will be a total mess at work.

I am not saying that anyone who has ever cheated is a liar, because that would mean just about every student at your average school would be one, including me. What I am saying is that cheating should be more frowned upon and students should receive harsher punishments. I truly believe that if there were consequences for cheating, students would actually focus on learning. Then we all would be better educated.

1.More and more students tend to cheat in exams because they want to 　　　　 .

A. gain high marks　　 B. succeed in society

C. find a good job　　 D. finish their work quickly

2.What does the underlined word “faze” mean in the second paragraph?

A. Encourage.　　 B. Embarrass.

C. Excite.　　 D. Frighten.

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. Anyone who has ever cheated in school is a liar.

B. Students who never cheat in college will find a good job.

C. Getting away with punishment will lead to cheating again.

D. Most people have successfully cheated their way to the top.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. Students’ Cheating in Schools　　 B. Consequences of Cheating

C. Punishments for Students’ Cheating　　 D. Students’ Cheating: Acceptable or Not?
