A
Many of us know about Russia’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks,or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song,Lake Baikal.But over the past decade,the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.
Each March since 2005,about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon.They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions.The 26-mile (41.84-kilometer)journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore.In March,the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard.Runners cross this frozen surface,finishing on the western side of the lake.
Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”,Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters.This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent (透明的).“Seen from above,a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space.” The New York Times noted.
The landscape might be beautiful,but it’s also harsh.Strong winds blast (侵袭)across the lake and frostbite can occur within half an hour.Runners say the cold climate is what draws them.They want to test their limits.
“When you are in such an environment,you don’t have cars around you,and you don’t have the noise around.I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature.” Alicja Barahona,a 64-year-old runner from the US,told ABC news.
The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon.The finishing line is visible from the start,but the endless white offers no progress markers.The race also ends with little fanfare (隆重的欢迎).Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping selfies (自拍)and just ignore the runners.
For some runners,the absence of spectators makes the race more challenging,because it’s lonely.They must fight with themselves.“You are alone on Baikal.It is your race.You are alone with yourself.All you need to do is defeat yourself.” Veronique Messina,a French runner,told the Telegraph.
1.What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the article
A.It takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.
B.It involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.
C.It attracts more and more participants each year.
D.It is about 26 kilometers in length.
2.How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons
A.Only men are allowed to run in this race.
B.The runners are often distracted by tourists.
C.There are many progress markers on the ice.
D.The runners can see the finishing line from the start.
3.What is the most challenging part of the race for Messina
A.The cold climate. B.The long distance.
C.Noisy surroundings. D.Loneliness.
4.How many advantages and disadvantages are listed about the loneliness
A.5. B.4.
C.3. D.2.

It was only a dollar.Dylan noticed it on the floor as he sat at the back of his English class at John F.Kennedy High School,in March.He picked it up and brought it to his English teacher—Katie Mattison.
Mattison was a little surprised he’d turned the dollar in,knowing a lot of people would have just kept it.She suggested that Belscher tape it to the whiteboard at the front of the classroom,where she always puts lost things.Maybe the dollar was lunch money or bus fare for the student who dropped it.
Hunter Rose,then a senior,spotted the dollar on the whiteboard.After class,he asked Mattison why it was there.She was still waiting for the original owner to claim it,so she replied,“I don’t know.” Rose took the tape from Mattison’s desk and taped a second dollar to the board.
The sight of the two dollar bills,side by side,triggered something in Mattison’s students.They started asking about the purpose of the money,to which Mattison always gave the same answer: She didn’t know.At that point,it was absolutely true.
More students,curious,taped up single dollar bills.The effort snowballed.Even with no specific purpose,many students wanted to be part of whatever this was.The students,among themselves,decided Mattison had some unspoken goal.They figured bigger donations could only help them get there faster.The amount continued to grow over several weeks,until it reached $175.76.As for the original dollar,the person who lost it never came looking.
That left Mattison to decide upon the best resolution.She kept thinking about her brother-in-law,Jack Hains,a guy she describes as a wonderful human being who had died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),a rare and devastating neurological disease.She asked the teens whether they minded if she donated the dollars to the ALS Therapy Development Institute.
Their answer was to tape enough money to the whiteboard over the next few days to push the amount to $321.06.Mattison,choking back tears as she recalls the moment,says she carefully peeled the cash off the board and made the donation just before the beginning of May,which is National ALS Awareness Month.

A.they were moved by Dylan and Hunter
B.their teacher called on them to do so
C.they wanted to help with Mattison’s secret plan
D.they wanted to help the poor guy who lost the bill

Judy died on July 9,2017.Instead of flowers,her family asked mourners (悼念者)to donate to TunDe’s education,to assist her in paying for her nursing school.In less than a week,they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.

When everything goes wrong,always look at what you have,instead of what you have lost.Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts;it’s what you do with what you have left. 1 
Pain is part of growing.
Sometimes life closes doors because it’s time to move forward. 2 When times are tough,remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose.Remember that there are two kinds of pain: pain that hurts you and pain that changes you.When you roll with life,instead of resisting it,both kinds help you grow.
 3 
Every time you get hurt,you heal.After darkness there is always light—you are reminded of this every morning,but still you often forget,and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever.It won’t.Nothing lasts forever.
Complaining changes nothing.
 4 It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.It’s not over if you’ve lost;it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it.If you believe in something,keep trying.Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future.
The best thing you can do is keep going.
Don’t be afraid to get back up—to try again,to love again,to live again,and to dream again.Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart.Life’s best lessons are often learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes.There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. 5 
A.Everything in life is temporary.
B.And even if you fall short,keep going.
C.Your scars are symbols of your strength.
D.Those who complain the most,accomplish the least.
E.Here are a few tips to inspire you when you need it most.
F.That’s a good thing because we often won’t move unless life forces us to.
G.When you feel like quitting,remember that sometimes things can be right eventually.

Jack,a clerk at the local bank,was wandering alone on the street.It was a cold,silent winter night.His mind was on his wife Linda,who had been in a car accident two months ago and was now lying in the hospital bed,waiting for more money for her operation.Jack had sold everything he had,and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could.But the real world is cruel.
A large amount of money was still needed.To Jack,it would mean a great deal of suffering to see his wife die without any help.“I have only one option left,”Jack said to himself.Then he went to the bank,his workplace,again.For several days,he observed the bank and planned a theft.
The next day,he went to work as usual.Everything seemed normal:he joked with his workmates and helped his clients as he always did.But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger suitcase to work,instead of the small one he always carried.At 5:00 pm,the bank closed,and the clerks and the guards had all gone home.However,at that moment,Jack was in the bathroom,and the guards didn’t notice him,of course.When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark,Jack came out from the bathroom.He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase.
He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security system for the past 30 days.Using a special key and some other tools,he then easily opened the doors of the safes.The bank’s security system wasn’t very good,which allowed Jack to take a lot of money.Several minutes later,Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money.
Paragraph 1:
After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while,the alarms began to ring.
Paragraph 2:
But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank,an old man.

Paragraph 1:
After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while,the alarms began to ring.The police arrived at the bank very quickly,only to find no one there.The next day was a really special day for the town,which was filled with newspaper and TV reporters covering the strange theft.The clerks at the bank were busy discussing the case,of course,including Jack.The police could only promise to catch the thieves as soon as possible,even though no clues had been found yet.
Paragraph 2:
But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank,an old man.He seemed to be the only person to blame and was removed from his position.At last,with enough money for her operation,Jack’s wife was saved.However,Jack felt guilty about the manager of the bank.He could not forget what he had done to the old man.His guilt deepened as time went by.Finally,he turned himself in to the police and accepted his punishment.

Dear sir or madam,
I’m writing this letter to call on attention to the community lecture concerning garbage classification.Given that most neighbors fail to classify garbage properly though they really try to,our community will organize this lecture in an attempt to guide this deed.
Garbage classification is of great significance.Firstly,not only can it cope with pollution issue effectively but more space originally occupied by wasteland will be spared.Secondly,we can undeniably make a difference by taking advantage of recyclable garbage.
To fulfill your obligation to live an eco-life,come and join in the lecture to be given at 3 pm next Sunday on the playground of Hongqi Primary School.Only with combined efforts can we make our neighborhood better.
Yours,
Hongqi Community
