A
When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was surprised that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and it must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.

38. Which is the correct order of the following

A. a-b-c-d B. a - c - d - b C. c-d-a-b D. c-a-d-b
39. What did the writer come to realize a few years later

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic(技工), but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre（轮胎) of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.

“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office.

Gloria arrived in Barbados on 26 January, 2008 after rowing across the Atlantic for three months and a half. Gloria was in one of 36 small wooden rowing boats(划艇) that set off on 7 October, 2007 from Tenerife Island on the Atlantic Rowing Challenge Race. Each boat was exactly the same design and each one had food for the journey. There were two people in each boat and their challenge was to row across the Atlantic, a journey of about 3.360 kilometers.
Gloria began the journey with her husband in a small boat. However, after 14 days her husband became very afraid of the huge ocean and was not able to go on, so he left her with the help of a helping boat. This did not make Gloria give up. Instead, she decided that she would continue by herself. So, for the next hundred days, she rowed her small boat alone and fought against the waves and the winds, and her own fears.
When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, and her husband had to carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast to her small boat, the very special lady. This lady carried her safely through many storms on her long journey and she loved it.
Gloria is really a brave woman. She has become the tenth woman in the world to row across the Atlantic. Like the others, she has experienced great joys and terrible things.

There were two people in each boat and their challenge was to row across the Atlantic, a journey of about 3.360 kilometers.
Gloria began the journey with her husband in a small boat. However, after 14 days her husband became very afraid of the huge ocean and was not able to go on, so he left her with the help of a helping boat. This did not make Gloria give up. Instead, she decided that she would continue by herself. So, for the next hundred days, she rowed her small boat alone and fought against the waves and the winds, and her own fears.
When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, and her husband had to carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast to her small boat, the very special lady. This lady carried her safely through many storms on her long journey and she loved it.
Gloria is really a brave woman. She has become the tenth woman in the world to row across the Atlantic. Like the others, she has experienced great joys and terrible things. But a brave person is not always brave, "Sometimes I wanted more than anything to be warm and dry in bed and safe from the storm around me. I wanted to stop being brave," she said.

【答案与解析】
My favorite sport
My favorite sport is basketball. It looks so cool on TV. I have been crazy about those basketball stars, especially Yao Ming, ever since I was a child. Basketball requires speed, height and skills. All parts of my body are exercised in this sport.
Furthermore, basketball is a sport more than just exercising. It is teamwork. No one can play by himself. A team should work together. So I learn to cooperate with others in this game. I play basketball twice a week. I have made many good friends through this sport.
