A boy was dying of terminal leukemia (白血病). His mother took his hand and asked, "Bopsy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be when you grew up "
"Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."
Later that day she went to the fire department, where she met Fireman Bob. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better than that. We’ll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And, we'll get a real fire uniform made for him."
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Bopsy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted ( 护 送 ) him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Bopsy was in heaven.Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished（慷慨给予） upon him, Bopsy lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop and the head nurse called the fire chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Bopsy as he made his transition. The chief replied, "We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favor When you hear the sirens（警报器）screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that it's just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time And will you open the window to his room "
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital, extended its ladder up to Bopsy's third floor open window and 14 firemen and two fire-women climbed up the ladder into Bopsy's room.

Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms(平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To summarize the text.
A. To tell about true friends.
A. To bring up a discussion.
A. To encourage online friendship.
8. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A. In any case. B. In person.C. In full measure. D. In advance.
8. What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication
A. Worried. B. Unconcerned. C. Confused. D. Positive.
8. What view does Rosen hold
A. It’s wise to turn to friends online
A. It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
A. Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
A. Social media help people stay closely connected.
D
Climate change, not human hunting, may have destroyed the thylacine (袋狼), according to a new study based on DNA from thylacine bones.The meat-eating marsupials ( 有袋动物) died out on mainland Australia a few thousand years ago, but survived in Tasmania, an island of southeast Australia separated from the mainland, until the 1930s. Until now, scientists have believed the cause of this mainland extinction ( 灭绝) was increased activity from native Australians and dingoes (Australian wild dogs).
Scientists behind the University of Adelaide study, which was published in the Journal of Biogeography on Thursday, collected 51 new thylacine DNA samples from fossil (化石) bones and museum skins. The paper concluded that climate change starting about 4,000 years ago was likely the main cause of the mainland extinction.
The ancient DNA showed that the mainland extinction of thylacines was rapid, and not the result of loss of genetic diversity (基因多样性). There was also evidence of a population crash (大跌) in thylacines in Tasmania at the same period of time, reducing their numbers and genetic diversity.
Professor Jeremy Austin said Tasmania would have been protected from mainland Australia's warmer, drier climate because of its higher rainfall. He argued that climate change was "the only thing that could have caused, or at least started, an extinction on the mainland and caused a population crash in Tasmania.”
"They both happened at about the same time, and the other two things that have been talked about in the past that may have driven thylacines to extinction on the mainland were dingoes and humans. So the only explanation that's left is climate change. And because that population crash happened at the same time that the species (物种) went extinct on the mainland, our argument is there's a common theme there and the only common theme is that there is this change in climate."
8. What did scientists believe in the past according to the passage
A. Marsupials were all meat-eating animals.
A. Dingoes should be removed from Australia.
A. Thylacines had no enemies on mainland Australia.
A. Human activities may cause the extinction of thylacines.
8. What's the difference between mainland Australia and Tasmania
A. Tasmania has more dingoes.
A. Tasmania has more rainy days.
A. Tasmania has a higher temperature.
A. Tasmania has more native activities.
8. Which of the following statements strongly supported Jeremy Austin’s argument
A. something similar happened on mainland Australia and Tasmania
A. Tasmania was protected from mainland Australia's warmer climate
A. humans and dingoes may have driven thylacines to extinction
A. mainland Australia suffered from much higher rainfall in the past
8. What's the best title for the passage
A. The effect of climate change on wildlife
A. The cause of disappearance of thylacines
A. The result of warmer climate in Australia
A. The ways of protecting meat-eating animals

Dear Peter,
Welcome to China! I’m delighted to know you’re coming to Jinan. Here is the two-day travel plan I’ve made.
Jinan is known as the Spring City in China, so on the first day we are visiting Baotu Spring first, which is recognized to be No. One Spring. To the north of Baotu Spring lies Daming Lake, where we can go boating, enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. The Shandong Art Gallery will be a good choice for the next day, because you can admire Chinese paintings there.
I can’t wait to see you. Yours,
Li Hua
