Mark Smith and Jarryd Haines are good friends. The two boys from Sydney have known each other for most of their lives. Both of them enjoy playing Australian football.
A few years ago, when Mark was nine, he developed brain cancer. The disease robbed the boy of his sight, part of his hearing and his ability to play his favorite sport. However, throughout the years, Jarryd remained his closest friend. They still share their love of Australian football. And they still enjoy talking about the Sydney Swans, their favorite team.
Two weeks ago, I took my seat at Sydney Cricket Ground to watch the Swans. The old stadium was crowded with fans. Shortly into the second quarter, heard some great commentary from a boy. Play by play, Jarryd was bringing the game to life. I turned and saw him. Mark was sitting next to him.
Although he cannot see anymore, Mark still loves the Swans very much. Usually, he goes to the stadium and listens to the commentary on the radio. However, in the second quarter of that match, the radio system broke down. That was when his friend Jarryd stepped in.
I hardly looked at the Swans and Buddy, the team’s star player. Instead, I was focusing on Jarryd and Mark. “What’s happening now, mate ” Mark asked. “Don’t worry. Mark,” Jarryd replied. “Okay. Buddy’s got it. Will he go for it He’s going for it! It’s his tenth goal! Buddy is on fire!” Mark listened carefully. He was lost in the magic of Australian football brought to life by his friend.
Sports can be competitive. However, they can also allow us to share wonderful moments with others, may they be close friends or perfect strangers. Here, Jarryd and Mark have moved me, and perhaps some other spectators, with the best commentary.
24. Why didn’t Mark play Australian football any longer
A. He took up new hobby.
B. He lost his sight and hearing.
C. He was unable to play it because of his disease.
D. His favorite team-the Sydney Swans lost the game.
25. What did Jarryd do for Mark at the stadium
A. He helped him step into the stadium.
B. He made Buddy score his tenth goal.
C. He was lost in the magic of Australian football.
D. He provided commentary for him when the radio system failed.
26. Which of following words best describe Jarryd
A. Generous and active. B. Considerate and patient.
C. Diligent and ambitious. D. Competitive and smart
27. What is the text mainly about
A. A lively commentary. B. The Swans and Buddy.
C. An Australian football match. D. The precious friendship between two boys.

Children are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons (武器), drugs and gangs (帮派). Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.
Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.
Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP (Tests of Achievement and Proficiency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.
If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children ”
Fact: A nationwide study using a random (任意) selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test.
Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile.
Collectively, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. We’ve placed students in the top 2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college.
One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.
For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at (877)532-7665.

30. What is the purpose of the text

The British have long been known for their love of tea, but people in London also drink a lot of coffee. In fact, the average Londoner reportedly drinks 2.3 cups of coffee every day.
And now, waste coffee grounds (咖啡渣) will be used to help fuel part of the city’s transportation system.
A technology company announced on Monday that some buses will be using a biofuel (生物燃料) that contains coffee oil.
The company, bio-bean, and its partner, Argent Energy, say they have made enough coffee oil to power one of London’s famous double-decker buses for a year.
The announcement made bio-bean a trending story on social media.
The government agency Transport for London has been turning to biofuels to cut production of carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are the gas produced by the burning of carbon, and the gas is released into the atmosphere.
London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, said last month that his city has a “health crisis... caused directly by poor-quality air”. The government has taken steps to discourage people from driving cars that do not meet European Union emissions requirements.
Bio-bean said Londoners produce over 200,000 tons of waste coffee grounds a year. The company said it collects waste grounds from chain coffee shops and factories. The grounds are dried and processed to remove coffee oil.
“It’s a great example of what can be done when we start to reimagine waste as an untapped resource,” said one of bio-bean founders Arthur Kay. The coffee fuel technology has been receiving support from the oil company Royal Dutch Shell plc.
32. The main reason why some buses use biofuels is ________.
A. to show the Londoners prefer coffee to tea
B. to improve the speed of the bus in London
C. to lower carbon emissions
D. to encourage people to go to work by bus
33. Where do the waste coffee grounds come from
A. The city’s transportation system. B. The European Union.
C. Royal Dutch Shell pic. D. Chain coffee shops and factories.
34. What does the underlined word “untapped” mean in the last paragraph
A. undeveloped B. unforgotten C. explored D. abandoned
35. What may be the best title for the text
A. The Use of Coffee
B. Coffee Grounds to Help Power London’s Buses
C. Coffee Culture in London
D. A New Way of Using a Biofuel

I am a middle school student. I have been busy with my study and seldom helped my parents with the housework. Feeling quite sorry for that, I begin to think about what to do to help.
Last Sunday, when my parents went out shopping, I suddenly got an idea: why not give the rooms a thorough cleaning Firstly I collected all the books, newspapers and other things scattered in the rooms and put them in place. Then I wiped the dust off all the furniture. After that, I swept and mopped the floors.
At this very moment, my parents came back and were quite surprised to see all the rooms tidy and floors shining. My mother gave me a hug and I could see satisfaction in her eyes. Tired as I was, I never felt so happy.
