Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed . We couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience .
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing . I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that mountain, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).

Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road, but not everybody follows this basic rule.
“Chinese style road crossing” has become a hot expression recently. Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd”, said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road at a crossing in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting 
times at different road crossings from 2008 to 2010. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore(忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can stand,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that half of the respondents（调查对象）believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” wrote “Qixiaoe” on Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking gr
oup will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling o
n p
eople to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.
21. Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”?
A. To wait for the traffic light to turn green.
B. To cross a road slowly.
C. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.
D. To follow the basic traffic lights.
22. What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指的是)?
A. A CCTV news program. B. A research group at Tongji University.
C. A post on Sina Weibo. D. A daily newspaper.
23. How long will Chinese people wait to cross the road before they lose patience?
A. Less than one minute. B. About five minutes.
C. Less than one and a half minutes. D. More than ten minutes.
24. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?
A. Because there are too many people on the road.
B. Because the red light lasts too long.
C. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.
D. Because people have le
ss patience.
25. The writer suggests that we should________ to solve the probl
em of jaywalking.
A. punish the jaywalkers B. disregard the traffic rules
C. reduce the time of red lights D. call on people to obey the traffic lights
C
Every morning, the newspaper chief editor holds a meeting with the reporters. They discuss the main events of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events.
As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. Sometimes they do telephone interviews. Checking information is very important. They go to the newspaper’s own library to look up any information that they need. This is called “doing one’s homework”.
At the same
time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day’s paper. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor.
The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Word editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes.[来源:学科网]
Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing the newspaper has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered(发送) by truck, plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterday’s.
26. What is the work in a newspaper office like?
A. Interesting and confusing B. Important and patient.
C. Particular and ne
cessary. D. Fast and busy.
27. According to the passage, the last step of a reporter’s work is ____________.
A. writing stories B. doing interviews
C. doing homework D. handing stories to the editor
28. The front page contents
(内容) are decided by ___________.
A. the importance of the events B. how well the stories are written
C. the knowledge of the chief editor D. whether they are the latest
29. Word editors’ work is to ____________.
A. help the chief editor with the morning discussion
B. decide when and how the papers can be printed
C. read the stories and make necessary changes
D. get together information from reporters and photographers
30. The best title for this passage is “____________”.
A. How a newspaper is born B. How newspapers are delivered
C. What kind of papers readers like D. Whose work is more important

Do you have any special ways you use to help you do better on a test? How well you do is often a matter of how well prepared you are. Here are some ways to make sure you’re at your best on test days.
Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You have to be awake for the test day.
_____ 31. Test day isn’t a morning for pieces of bread. Nor is it a time to hunger yourself. Eat plenty of low-sugar, high-energy food to keep your brain and body working their best.

_____ 33. Make sure that the number on your answer sheet matches the number of the question.
_____ 34. Don’t suppose that choice A is correct until you’ve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate* any choice that you can see at once. You’ll have a better chance of finding the right answer.

Keep up with your schoolwork all year long. That’s how you get the skills you need for taking tests.
A．Watch the numbers B. Check the clock
C. Be prepared D. Look over all the answer choices
E. Have a good breakfast F. Answer quickly and don’t care about

Happiness (60) _______(depend) on what we have! It’s in our heart. It’s a state of mind: even though you own the whole world, you may still feel unhappy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciation and taking pleasure in what you really have.

We did a survey of how many hours the students in our school sleep every day. Here are the results.
Most students sleep than seven hours a day. Why? First, students have too much homework to do. Second, a number of students like playing with mobile phones before sleeping. That causes less sleeping time. Third, some students are too stressed out to sleep well because of too much pressure from teachers and parents.
How to solve the problems? Less homework should be given to students. And students are supposed to stay away from digital products before going to bed. More importantly, parents and teachers should care for students more and put less pressure on them.
