On December 24,1848, long before Lincoln became the 16th president of America, he received a letter from his half brother Johnston, with whom he had been going along well, who meant to borrow D|S80. Lincoln had once lent D|S80 to Johnston, who had not returned it till then. Not at that moment did Lincoln realize that lending money alone would never be enough to help Johnston. And the best way to help him is to help him help himself. So he wrote：
Dear Johnston，
Your request for D|S80, I do not think it best to comply with (顺从，依从) you now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, “We can get along very well.” But in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day's work, in any day. You do not very much like to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.
This habit of uselessly wasting time, is the whole difficulty; it is very important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit.
Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever, if you will but follow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight times eighty dollars to you ...

C．Lincoln's advice. D．Much difficulty.
7．Why was Johnston in difficulty often
A．No one had given him advice before.

Ten years ago, Frank Warren began a small social experiment called PostSecret. “I wanted to find out if people had secrets and if they'd share them with me. So I printed up to 3,000 self addressed postcards with my home address on one side and a blank (空白的) space for them to write down a secret and mail it to my home.”
Many people wrote their secrets about disappointments (失望的事) and wishes for the future on the card and mailed them to him. Warren put some favorite postcards on his website and published some of them in books. Before long, people from Ireland, Japan, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Australia were writing their secrets on their own postcards and mailing them to him in different languages. For ten years, Warren has received over a million postcards and they keep coming — six days a week.
Warren reads and keeps every single postcard. “I believed that if I could create a safe place where people could share these hidden fears and hopes, funny stories and hidden acts of kindness, it could really be something special.”
More than half of the postcards are put in a public place at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum (SNPM) in Washington. Emily Murgia works at the museum. She said, “People love this exhibit. It's just full of people who stay here for hours going from one postcard to another. We often see people crying because they find a piece of themselves inside these secrets.”
It seems like no matter what language, the secrets are sharing the same fears and the same hopes. As for Warren, it's a great honor that so many people around the world have trusted him with their deepest secrets.
8．Frank Warren started PostSecret to________.
A．show everyone has a secret
B．see if people would speak out their secrets
C．collect some people's personal information
D．ask people to send their secret postcards to him
9．What can we learn about PostSecret
A．People have to write in English.
B．There are about a million postcards a week.
C．The project soon became popular worldwide.
D．Warren only keeps some of his favorite postcards.
10．What can we infer from the passage
A．Postcards are not allowed to appear online.
B．The secrets in the world have something in common.
C．Some people are angry to see their secrets in public.
D．Frank Warren copies the secrets and sends cards back.
11.What's the passage mainly about
A．Frank Warren likes collecting postcards.
B．It's necessary for people to keep secrets.
C．There is a good way to share your secrets.
D．Strangers share secrets through postcards.

To help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable shopping bags. But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable shopping bags sold by some supermarkets have high levels of lead (铅), which can be dangerous to humans, especially young children. Now, there's a call for a rethink about the use of reusable shopping bags.
“When our families go to the store looking for safe and healthy foods, the last thing they should be worrying about is a bag，” Charles Schumer, a government official said.“Quick and complete research will allow everyone to make right decisions.”
The newspaper bought more than a dozen bags sold at Publix supermarkets from Florida supermarkets to test them for lead. The results showed that certain bags had lead levels that worried health officials. Some bags had enough lead in them to be considered dangerous waste if people were to throw the bags out with other rubbish. Lead in the bags is not likely to move onto food. But over time, paint (油漆) on the bags can break off and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be freed.
The affected (受影响的) bags were found in Florida. But Publix has more than 1,000 stores across America. Publix says that its bags don't break any laws about lead levels, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce (降低) the lead levels in them.
The bags with the highest levels of lead had beautiful designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without them are found to have little lead. People worried about lead levels in reusable bags can turn to cloth. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be reused.
12．What worries people now is that reusable shopping bags ________.
A．can't be reused
B．can be a danger to people
C．are a waste of money
D．are as bad as paper bags
13．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”．
A．bags B．foods
C．supermarkets D．officials
14．Lead in shopping bags will probably come out when ________.
A．food is put in them
B．they are thrown away
C．they are put with other rubbish
D．the paint is separated from them
15．What's the best title for the text
A．The return of paper bags
B．Time to invent greener shopping bags
C．The safety of shopping bags
D．Look out for reusable shopping bags

Lincoln had once lent D|S80 to Johnston, who had not returned it till then. Not at that moment did Lincoln realize that lending money alone would never be enough to help Johnston. And the best way to help him is to help him help himself. So he wrote：
Dear Johnston，
Your request for D|S80, I do not think it best to comply with (顺从，依从) you now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, “We can get along very well.” But in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day's work, in any day. You do not very much like to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.
This habit of uselessly wasting time, is the whole difficulty; it is very important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit.
Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again.

Ten years ago, Frank Warren began a small social experiment called PostSecret. “I wanted to find out if people had secrets and if they'd share them with me. So I printed up to 3,000 self addressed postcards with my home address on one side and a blank (空白的) space for them to write down a secret and mail it to my home.”
Many people wrote their secrets about disappointments (失望的事) and wishes for the future on the card and mailed them to him. Warren put some favorite postcards on his website and published some of them in books. Before long, people from Ireland, Japan, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Australia were writing their secrets on their own postcards and mailing them to him in different languages. For ten years, Warren has received over a million postcards and they keep coming — six days a week.
Warren reads and keeps every single postcard. “I believed that if I could create a safe place where people could share these hidden fears and hopes, funny stories and hidden acts of kindness, it could really be something special.”
More than half of the postcards are put in a public place at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum (SNPM) in Washington. Emily Murgia works at the museum. She said, “People love this exhibit. It's just full of people who stay here for hours going from one postcard to another. We often see people crying because they find a piece of themselves inside these secrets.”
It seems like no matter what language, the secrets are sharing the same fears and the same hopes. As for Warren, it's a great honor that so many people around the world have trusted him with their deepest secrets.

Bedrooms are very important. In fact, you spend one third of your life in yours. This means that you probably don't want a boring bedroom. You will not want a bedroom full of so many things that you can't get to your bed, or that is painted in your least favorite color. __16__
When you are designing (设计) a bedroom and you don't know what to do with some space in the corner, you may want to see if you can fit in a desk or a small sitting area. __17__ You might want to fill this space to get some more storage (储存) space or have somewhere to have some privacy.
Furniture is not the only thing to consider when you design your bedroom. __18__ If you aren't sure what to do, just keep your walls and furniture white, and make sure that little things are also in the same style (风格)．
__19__ You can put up dry erase boards, chalkboards, and pictures to give your room some style. You may also want to put in a bedside table. Those are great ways to show others some of your favorite photos and lovely toys. Finally, try to find something that adds energy and life to your bedroom. __20__

B．You could also put in a bookshelf to create space.

G．If you love to read in bed, a small bedside table probably won't work.

17．选B 由该空前的“what to do with some space in the corner ... a desk or a small sitting area”可知，在卧室的角落处还可以安置书架，故选B项。
18．选A 由该空后的“just keep your walls and furniture white”可知，这里是说卧室中的颜色，故选A项。
19．选C 由该空后的“You can put up dry erase boards, chalkboards, and pictures”可知，这里是说如何布置卧室的墙壁，故选C项。
