Imagine possessing something that you loved so much. Imagine what it would feel like if you lost it. While that item may be something as simple as a doll, you would still feel very upset, but you could replace it with a new one. Now imagine losing something that you depend on for survival and cannot be replaced. That is what it would be like if we lost the natural environment around us.

Firstly, I believe the environment should be preserved because it supports human life. One of the largest examples is that we get all of our food and drinks from the environment. If the environment were to be destroyed beyond revival, then the human race would be over in months. Scientists have yet to find another planet with similar conditions to the Earth, and if it’s found, we don’t have the technology to get to that planet on time.

Secondly, I believe that the environment serves as an amazing educational tool for students. When I was in second grade, I had an absolute interest in animals. When we had a field trip to the Daggerwing Nature Center, I was very excited. When we got there, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. There was a bridge to get to the main building, and under the bridge was a small swamp (沼泽) with turtles, fish, and my personal favorite, alligators. I was so surprised that I almost ran into the tour guide. We walked into the building and saw various animals in their habitats. I was so inspired by this visit. Six years later, I have taken an animal behavior class for three weeks. Meeting by chance with the environment can inspire people, and if preserved it will continue to inspire people.

In conclusion, the environment is so valuable because it can’t be replaced, keeps us alive, and serves as a great educational tool.

1.The first paragraph leads to the theme of the text by ________.

A. describing a process　　 B. presenting differences

C. analyzing causes　　 D. showing similarities

2.The underlined word “revival” in the paragraph 2 is the nearest in meaning to ________.

A. health　　 B. recovery

C. activity　　 D. revision

3.Why did the author take a class on animal behavior?

A. Because his teacher encouraged him to do so.

B. Because he wanted to be an animal expert.

C. Because he was inspired by animals he once saw.

D. Because he thought it a promising subject.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Why the Environment Is So Important

B. Which Planet Can Replace the Earth

C. How People Should Protect the Environment

D. What People Can Do to Stop Pollution

I love secondhand books far more than new ones! I especially like books that someone else has gone through first. It’s a kind of connection — and an experience of wondering exactly who has been there before…I don’t mind god-eared （折角的）corners；I don’t mind the coffee stain—who cares? Indeed, I don’t even mind the comments at the edge.

If it were an orginal classic, then the book would be of some importance. But the fact that its pages have been read and probably loved by dozens of people since it was produced is incredible, fascinating and wonderful. Just think — you can find old books that were touched by people in the nineteen fifties. That is interesting, as those people would probably have just come through World War Ⅱ.

But books from the 20s and 30s are even more wonderful to touch. Was it an old lady who poured over my aging Dodi Smith paperback that I found in a secondhand bookshop?

I once sat in the British Library reading books published in the 17th century, touching them, and the excitement was considerable. Imagine — these are books that people read, touched , and wrote comments about hundreds of years ago. Who have touched these books? What were they wearing? What was their work? How did the books make them think?

Now you see— I am just a woman who likes to explore the past. I like anything except the new. Who wants new things? The smell of the chemicals, the sense of being mass-produced…

No! No!

46. We can know that when the writer reads a second-hand book, she usually__________.

A. cleans the coffee stain         B. writes comments at the edge

C. wonders who has read it before  D. only reads the comments written by others

47. According to Paragraph 2, what does the writer find fascinating?

A. The economic value of an original classic.

B. The fact that many old books are about World War Ⅱ.

C. The fact that many people like reading what she likes reading.

D. The fact that a book has been read and loved by many people.

48. The underlined part “Dodi Smith paperback” in Paragraph 3 refers to “ ______”.

A. an old lady         B. a book by Dodi Smith

C. a famous writer      D. a secondhand bookshop

49. After reading the passage, we know that the writer __________.

A. only buys books with dog-eared corners

B. seldom looks back on her past

C. likes the smell of new books

D. doesn’t like things mass-produced today

50. What is this passage mainly about?

A. The advantages of reading old books.

B. Some of the writer’s strange hobbies.

C. The writer’s love for secondhand books.

D. What the writer does in her spare time.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough difficulties to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, and you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let know that you appreciate their friendship. And if you don’t, don’t worry; nothing bad will happen to you. You will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with this message.

Success is so much more than just money or fame.1.If you want to have a successful life, if you want to create a life that makes you feel passionate to be alive, here are the three things you need to focus on.

Believe In Yourself

If you don’t believe in yourself, how do you expect other people to?

If you don’t believe that you can have the life you desire, if you don’t believe that you can achieve all that you are setting out to achieve, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life. 2.It also helps you to take a leap of faith when it comes to going after what it is that you truly desire.

Realize You Are Already Successful

Success is all around you and flows through you and the more you can welcome that into your life, the more you will start to feel it.

Imagine someone has crossed the seas joining five continents by swimming. It is a major success for anyone. But it is an even greater success for Philippe Croizon, who has no arms, and no legs! His achievements show that we can all achieve great things—no matter who we are.

Philippe Croizon was 26 years old when he had an accident. The doctors had to remove both of his arms and legs. “When they cut off my last leg I wanted to die. I suffered great depression and my spirit was as low as you can get. But you have to choose—and I chose to live!” said Croizon.

While he was recovering in hospital, Croizon saw a television programme about a woman who had been swimming across the English Channel. After watching the programme Croizon decided to do it. He began to exercise every day to make him strong and it took him two years to prepare.

Finally in 2010, Croizon was ready. He entered the cold, grey sea of the English Channel. He was now 42 years old. It took him from early morning until night to swim the distance. He felt a lot of pain. But he had become the first person without arms and legs to swim between France and England. Croizon had achieved his dream, but he did not stop there. He looked for a new goal.

Early in 2012 he planned to swim across the seas that join five major continents. During the next few months he swam between the four continents of Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe and finally in the cold waters of the Bering Strait between the continents of Asia and the Americas.
