In 2000, at the age of 56, Jeff was going to take a difficult and dangerous journey in the Arctic. He was planning to walk to the North Pole all by himself, pulling his food, tent and other things behind him in two sledges (雪橇). Because the Arctic is covered with ice and water, he would sometimes have to sit on his sledges and use them like a boat.
Jeff was seven days into his journey in the Arctic. It was dark and terribly cold ( -35℃ ).In face of this terribly low temperature, he had made good progress across the ice. Suddenly, the ice was broken and one of his sledges fell into the sea. Jeff needed to get it back, so he had to put his hand into the ice-covered water. Once he had got the sledge back, Jeff put up his tent, lit a fire and tried to warm up his cold hand. It was no help--his hand was seriously hurt as it had been in the cold for so long. He radioed for help, and an airplane was sent to save him. Finally, he arrived at a hospital in Canada. The doctors there said he hurt his left hand in the icy water. They saved his hand and advised him not to travel to the North Pole any more.
But Jeff was an explorer and nobody could change his mind. It would be yet another long and difficult battle for Jeff soon.

It was summer in Russia. My goal there at the Ozernaya River was to take photos of brown bears as they caught fish.
During the first few days, I was mainly watching different bears to see which ones would be the best to take pictures of. I usually saw about 10 to 15 bears at a time, but as many as 600 living near came to this river when the salmon(鲑鱼) were swimming there to lay their eggs. I put my camera underwater and then waited for bears to move near.
I never moved towards them – I let them choose whether to come closer. Over time, the bears were used to my being there. But if a bear started moving its head from side to side. I knew it was time for me to move away.
It’s no easy task for a 1300-pound bear to catch a fish. Bears are clumsy underwater and salmon are fast. But bears are smart enough to catch a sick fish.
Soon I saw a bear doing just that. He was moving slowly towards a fish. After several tries, the hungry bear managed to catch the fish, and he sat down right in the river to eat his meal. This bear didn’t pay attention to my camera as he caught and ate his salmon. That was a good opportunity for me to take photos. Once the meal was over, he stayed in the rover to relax. I relaxed a bit too, knowing I had gotten some fantastic photos of these amazing animals.
1.When the writer arrived at the Ozernaya River, he mainly _____ at first.
A. watched brown bears B. fed brown bears
C. looked for fish D. caught fish
2.The writer moved away if he found a brown bear _____.
A. looked at him B. shouted at him
C. moved towards him D. shook its head
3.The underlined word “clumsy” means “ ”.
A. 机敏的 B. 笨拙的 C. 警惕的 D. 松懈的
4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Brown bears like eating salmon.
B. The brown bears knew the writer was there.
C. The brown bear went to the land to eat its meal.
D. Hundreds of brown bears live near the Ozernaya River.

Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died in 2011 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting cancer since 2004.
Even as a young man, Jobs was never one who followed the rules. He dropped out of college after only six months. He quit his first job to backpack around India. Jobs says that those early experiences made him creative. They opened up his mind and helped to create Apple’s “think different” spirit.
As a successful businessman, Steve’s passion and energy encouraged the world. He told us to “do what you love”. He believed “ People with passion can change the world for the better.” He made computers fun and interesting. His iPhone, iPad and iTouch are popular around the world. People say Jobs sells dreams, not products.
Jobs taught us how to face failure. He was fired by the successor he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn’t hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion.
Another valuable lesson he taught us was to listen to that voice in the back of your head – the voice that tells you if you’re on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we’re going to work in finance or become a doctor because our parents tell us this is what we should do. But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.
As Barack Obama said, Steve was “brave enough to think differently, brave enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.”
1.How many years had Steve Jobs been fighting the disease?
A. For 56 years. B. For 24 years. C. For 12 years. D. For 7 years.

C. He created Apple after leaving school. D. He never followed the rules.
3.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. To do what your parents tell you. B. To work in finance or become a doctor.
C. To do what you should do. D. To follow your heart.
4.What can we learn from Steve Jobs?
A. If you want to succeed, try to drop out of the college.
B. Believe that working hard is more important.
C. Be brave enough to follow your heart.
D. What your parents tell you is always wrong.
