It was a day I’d been waiting for. I had seen a few lift-offs(升空)on vision before, but this one was special. It was Apollo 11. The astronauts were headed for the Moon, just to orbit, as Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 had done a few months earlier. This time, people would actually walk on it!

I had a hard time getting through the next three days until Apollo 11 reached the Moon. I was glued to the television. Finally, Sunday morning arrived. After eating dinner, my family gathered in the living room. Our new television offered the best picture of the upcoming events. Luckily, I had read many books on space flight. I was familiar with the technical phrases, being discussed between Mission Control Center and the astronauts.,

Then, we heard the countdown to the undocking（出舱）of the Eagle, the Lunar Module （LM）, from the Columbia, the Command and Service Module. None of us paid much attention to the background chatter. If we had, we would have realized that the descent（降落）was not going well. A loud master alarm kept sounding inside the LM. If it continued, the astronauts would have to stop the descent. But in our excitement, we didn’t realize what was happening. Then we saw that the astronauts had reached the Moon. We all gave a loud cheer when Armstrong said his famous words as the LM touched down: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

Even though I was only eight years old, I sensed the importance of that moment. Looking back at it, I feel a little sad that there has been nothing quite like that since. But we have our sight set on Mars now. To get to Mars, we will need to visit the Moon again. That excites me. I’d love to see another moonwalk. I hope that kids will watch, as I did, the images（影像）of humans on another planet. Perhaps the next moonwalkers will change the lives of those viewers, as Armstrong and Aldrin changed my life 50 years ago.

1.What can we learn about the author when he was young?

A.He liked watching TV B.He was crazy about reading.

C.He wanted to be an astronaut. D.He was interested in space flight.

2.Why did the author ignore the background chatter?

A.He didn’t know the technical phrases. B.He paid his attention to the alarm.

C.He was too excited. D.He was too young.

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A.A magical moment. B.A happy childhood.

C.A return to the Moon. D.A goal of visiting Mars.

It was five years since I had become a mother, and I felt like I had slowly been losing more and more of myself. I looked in the mirror one morning and saw a tired, crazy woman, and I just wanted to cry. And just like that my new journey into becoming a “do less” mom began. I remember the first time I tried it. I had rushed to get my kids from school after work, arriving home completely shattered(散架了).

I made myself a lovely cup of hot tea and headed to the sofa, I lay down and closed my eyes. At this point, all three of my kids stopped speaking and just stared. My eldest broke the silence and asked, “what are you doing mommy?” I replied: “I’m resting.” It took the kids a few more minutes to realize I wasn’t going anywhere and they did eventually leave me alone. They even figured out that they should probably take their coats off. I did not cook dinner that night--we ordered in. I did not put on a wash; instead, I told the kids they had better not get their clothes dirty during dinner because they are wearing them again tomorrow. We skipped the bath and watched a movie all on the sofa.

To my amazement--no one died. The house did not fall apart. The kids were happy and fed but most importantly, when I looked into the mirror that night, I could see that woman I remember. The fun, silly woman who truly thinks she is still 25 years old, who loves ice cream and traveling and music and drinking wine. And I went to bed a bit happier that night knowing that although the road is still long, I am finally on the right track.

1.One morning the author wanted to cry because　　　 .

2.What changes did the author make at last?

A. She asked the children to take off their coats

B. She made dinner together with the children

C. She put off washing the clothes of the children

My first visit to Angkor Wat was in 1980. The country had been at war for many years and the temple was deserted and falling to pieces. Plants were growing out of the roofs, and trees were growing in the courtyards.

Today, the temple is the scene of a busy repair programme. A team of 15 Indian experts are organizing a workforce of 400 Cambodians, most of them women, who are cleaning, repairing and rebuilding parts of this temple.

As I walked through the courtyards, I noticed the Cambodian women devote hours to cleaning carefully a tiny area of stone. Boards are laid down to protect the precious painted stones while the repair work is going on. There are very few machines and little heavy equipment. Workers carry building materials in buckets at the end of long poles. Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced.

The work of cleaning the stones is watched over by three Indian chemists. It is a very slow task. First they clean the stones with brushes using buckets of a weak chemical. Then gaps between the stones are filled in. Finally another material is painted onto the stones which will protect them from water forever.

Work starts every day at 7 a. m. and goes on until late afternoon six days a week, with a break at midday.

Evening is the best time to visit the temple, after the tour groups have left. As the sun sinks lower, shadows spread across the courtyard. After sunset, the sky turns pink. The grey stone towers take on a golden colour before turning pink. Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet, beautiful place.

1.This passage mainly tells__________

A. the poor look of the temple Angkor Wat in 1980.

B. the history of the temple Angkor Wat

C. the repair work being done to the temple Angkor Wat

D. the difficulty in the repair work

2.According to the author, which of the following plays the least important role in the repair work?

A. The women workers.　　 B. The Indian workers

C. Machines　　 D. Skilled workers

3.The underlined sentence “the temple was deserted” possibly means that________

A. there was no one in the temple and it was in a poor state

B. the temple was built on desert and nobody noticed it

C. the temple was very old with a long history

D. the temple was repaired by the Cambodians, most of whom women

4.To clean the stone, how many steps should be followed?

A. Tow　　 B. Three

C. Four　　 D. Five
