You may picture firefighters holding a hose (水管) outside of a burning building,but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don't fight fires quite that way.When they go into action,you may not even see a fire truck. The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wilderness areas.But don't think you'll only find them in their home state California.Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency,the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there. But these firefighters don't work the same way as firefighters in a big city.They work in areas where there are large numbers of trees,bushes,and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris (残骸).They sometimes use water,but they often fight fire with fire! They do that by lighting what are called "backfires",which are small,controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of larger wildfires.That way,when the Wildfire gets there,it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go,because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke. The Hotshots also clear away fuel using oldfashioned hard work.For example,they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire. Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires. But the water is limited,and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything.Physical fitness is very important.They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain (地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack. The Golden Eagles Hotshots definitely work hard for their pay.But thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses have not burned,and countless trees are still standing. 1.The firefighters mentioned in the passage________. A.do much of their work in California B.avoid climbing steep hills in their work C.do their work equipped with advanced tools D.carry out their work mostly in forests and mountains 2.According to the passage,why do the firefighters light "backfires"? A.To signal for help. B.To remove obstacles. C.To protect trees and bushes. D.To prevent the fire from spreading. 3.What can we learn about the Golden Eagles Hotshots A.They are firefighters working in big cities. B.Their work requires physical strength. C.They are voluntary firefighters working for free. D.They usually hold a hose to put out the fires. 4.What is the author's attitude towards the Golden Eagles Hotshots? A.Appreciative. B.Doubtful C.Worried. D.Critical.

I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job, credit and success.I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us separately chasing the same thing. One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart.I found myself homeless and alone.I had my truck and $56.I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount.I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley.I hadn’t been alone for 25 years.I was scared, but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me. I found the owner and rented the place for $50 a month.The locals knew nothing about me.But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor.They dropped off blankets, tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat.They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing. They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream, not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.Men would stop by with wild berries, ice cream or truck parts to see if I was up for courting.I wasn’t, but they were civil anyway.The women on that mountain worked harder than any I’d ever met.They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe. I _ learned _ to _ keep _ enough _ for _ an _ extra _ plate _ for _ company. What I had believed in, all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors. After four years in that valley, I moved back into town.I saw a lot of people were having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes.With the help of a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) I chatted up at the grocery store, I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people.It’s four of us now, but over time I’ve had nine come in and move on to other places from here.We’d all be in shelters if we hadn’t banded together. The American dream I believe in now is a shared one.It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about how we all can get by together. 1. Before a series of unhappy events happened, the writer________. A. had a wellpaid job B. worked hard for his American dream C. worked hard and liked to share D. felt hopeless about his American dream 2. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to? A. The house. B. The job. C. The company. D. The American dream. 3. What does the underlined sentence “I learned to...”in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. The writer learned to run a company. B. The writer learned to share with others. C. The writer learned to keep enough plates. D. The writer learned to save money for his company. 4. Why did the writer rent a big house? A. To make some money. B. To show off his wealth. C. To share with those people in need. D. To make friends with his neighbors. 5. The writer mainly tells us about________. A. his unhappy experiences B. the friendly people in the valley C. the change of his living conditions D. his new idea of the American dream

For years,it's been assumed that the inside environment()limits the variety of plants that people are subjected to.Lately,however,plants thar are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into inside spaces.There are a few simple reasons why this is.
The modern inside environment can be a good place for a wide variety OFprotected by the inside spaces,where temperatures are easily controlled.Plants that used to be found only putside,such as trees,have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses.Orchides(环境),which were once only founde in hot places,have begun to grow well in inside places.A large number of smaller plants have slso sound their way into homes.
One reason that the modern home has made exotic(引进的)outdoor plants more practical is the modern use of windows.In the past windows were used less often in buildings than they are today.It si partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time,that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside.
It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in moving inside have been small.Some of the best suited varieties are the vines(藤本植物)．Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow.Although some trees can be grown inside,it is not likely the larger varieties can be used.Unfortunately,most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree.

Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job.Every day trucks come into a city to collect it.Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use.If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish. In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump.Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole.The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system.The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets,bathtubs and other places. To keep mice and flies away,some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish.Later,grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land.Finally,a house or a school may be built there,and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump. In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places.The fire burns everything but the metal.Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal.The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called hurnus,which looks like black earth.It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.

A true story comes from an incident which occurred during a business training seminar.To illustrate motivation,the trainer asked one of the business executives in the audience to come forward.
The trainer said,"I want you to imagine that I have placed a wooden beam across the floor here and I would like for you to walk from one end of the beam to the other end.Would you do that for $20?"
The man said that he would.
Then leader continued,"Now,I want you to imagine that I take that same beam and raise it up to the top of a forty-story building and run it across the street to another tall building.Would you still walk across the beam for $20?"
This time the man answered that he would not.
"How about for a $100?"
"No!" the man emphasized.
The trainer forged ahead."You have a child,right?"
"Yes."
"This time,what if I were to hold your child over the edge of the building and tell you that if you do not walk across the beam I will drop your child.Would you walk across?"
Surprisingly,the father hesitated for a beat,then smiled and asked,"Which child do you have?"
The trainer,of course,was right in assuming that a parent's devotion to a child is usually greater than almost any amount of fear associated with saving that child.Most parents love their children fiercely and would do anything possible to help them.

In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy. From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others often,we try bevery way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them. Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty fore years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed. No more angry shouts and no more horns! When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can." And everyone understood.Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.But those are and far between.More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

Shopping in the United States changes a lot.About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family.Women went from the bakery to the butcher's to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week. Then about sixty years ago,supermarkets were born.In a supermarket,people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores. The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall.A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof.Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather,they soon became very popular.The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping.If you walk through a mall,you will see older people sitting,chatting and drinking coffee.Malls are places for teenagers to hang out.Many teens will often just "go to the mall" and spend time with their friends. The recent change in American shopping was the superstore.Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart,Office Depot and Toys "R" Us have been built all across the United States.Because they are so large,they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores. Sometimes,when they are built near small towns,many of the small town stores have to close.They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors. And now,online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States.People are too busy to go to the physical stores,so they go shopping over the Internet.Online shopping has lots of advantages.For instance,online stores are usually available 24 hours a day.Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores.While,online shopping also has its disadvantages.People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store.And privacy of personal information may be let out.

1.Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States? ①small stores ②superstores ③shopping malls ④shopping online ⑤supermarkets

A.①②③④⑤ B.①⑤②③④ C.①⑤③②④ D.②③④①⑤

2.Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?

A.Shopping malls. B.Small stores. C.Supermarkets. D.Superstores.

3.Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?

A.Because they are built near small towns. B.Because they are across the United States. C.Because they sell all kinds of products people need. D.Because they can buy goods at a reduction in the prices.

4.What's the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?

A.Wasting time. B.Leaking personal information. C.Fixed prices. D.No chance to do physical activities.

"OK,Dad," said his son.But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this,he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him.His son put it into his small pocket,took it out and looked at it every now and then. Four days passed,but no one came to see his father.The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him,so he burnt it that evening.

New York is a very large city with 8 million people.How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school?So,we should know something about its transport. In New York you can travel about the city by subway,bus,taxi and car.The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city.It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city.Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city. The second way to travel around the city is by public bus.It's a slower way to travel.This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy. You can also travel around the city by taxi.This is the most expensive way,but the taxi will take you to the very place you wish to go to.If traffic is heavy,the taxi will be slow.During the mornings and afternoons, there is the "rush hour".This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work. The last way to get around New York is using your own car.However,it's not easy for you to drive, especially when you are driving in the "rush hour".If there is an accident on the road,you will have to wait for a long time. The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a.m.to 4 a.m.This is the time after the morning "rush hour" and before the evening "rush hour".Traffic will be less crowed because most people are already at school or at work.

The Mother Goose stories,so well known to children all over the world,are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren.According to some people,she lived in Boston,and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose.Her son-in-law,a printer named Thomas Fleet,was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719.However,no copy of this book has ever been found,and most scholars doubt the truth of this story--and doubt,moreover,that Mother Goose was ever a real person.They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French "Mere 1'Oye."In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used.The collection contains(包含) eight tales,including"sleeping Beauty","Cinderella,"and "Puss in Boots."But Perrault did not originate(创作) these stories; they were already quite popular in his day,and he only collected them.

阅读理解 It was 11 pm. Donald Lubeck was lying
It was 11 pm. Donald Lubeck was lying in bed. Outside, lightning lit up the sky, and thunder雷声shook the house. Suddenly he heard the smoke alarm sounding. Lubeck walked down to see what happened; he opened the door to the kitchen, and flames(火焰) just went out. The sudden strong wind from the doorway immediately created a large fire from a small one, probably caused by lightning. Lubeck went back to his bedroom to call 911. “I felt safe because the room had a separate stairway,” he explains. The phone didn‟t work, and when Lubeck tried to go down the stairway, he was stopped by a wall of flames. Lubeck realized he was in trouble. His daughter and granddaughters, who lived with him, were away for the night. Up a hill lived Lubeck‟s neighbors, Jeremie Wentworth and his wife. From his house, Wentworth saw the black smoke. He rushed out, and headed towards Lubeck‟s house. He knew Lubeck lived in the house. He dialed 911. On the phone, the 911 worker warned Wentwoth not to enter the house. “But I told the worker, „Sorry, but I‟m going in. I can hear Lubeck shouting „Help me!‟ I can‟t let myself do nothing in this situation,‟”he says. “I went in and shouted, „Don, where are you?‟ Then I had to run outside to catch my breath.” After one more try inside the house, he gave up. Then the wind parted the smoke just enough for him to see Lubeck on the second-floor bedroom. But there was no way to get to him.”I finally noticed a ladder梯子,” says Wentworth. He set it against the wall and pulled Lubeck down. Just seconds later the floor fell down. Within the year, Lubeck and his family built a new two-story house at the place. Wentworth and Lubeck don‟t run into each other ofter, but Lubeck now knows that if he ever needs help, Wentworth will be there

Passage One
As I was leaving to meet Lynne,my roommate told me that I’d better take some money,but I didn’t listen to him.I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.
I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time.I’d been told that Americans expect you to be on time.Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.
The dinner was a great success.I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia（沙特阿拉伯）and Lynne told me all about herself.After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two.Lynne said two.We went to the cashier（收银员）and Lynne paid her check.I was embarrassed（尴尬的）when the cashier gave me my bill.I had no money to pay for my meal.Then I had an idea.I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said,“Oh!I forgot my money!Can I call my roommate,please?” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.
In a few minutes he arrived with some money,but he couldn’t hide how he felt.He laughed all the way home.
Now,I think it’s funny too,but at the time I was terribly embarrassed.I thought that an invitation to have dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country.I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs.When you visit a foreign country,you have to learn about their customs,too.
