“It’s over! Thank goodness!” School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school bus.
Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere (气氛)by striking the match of talks. I try to listen politely, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening to.
“My father’s ill,” she said to no one in particular. I could see worry in her eyes. I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile.
With a sudden change of interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him ”
With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.” I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.
I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain (痛苦)my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that. Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver, that was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares too.

三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源)of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from“field to plate”, is called“ food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者).Why is this, and what are the effects of these long distances
Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.
Some countries have to import(进口)most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.
what's wrong with"food miles" Is this not a good way of increasing international trade I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的)warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long Journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.
What is called "food miles" according to this passage
A. The origins of the food. B. The effects of long distances.
C. The journey from field to plate. D. The disadvantages of imported food.
The underlined word "available" in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_____.”
A. easy to get B. not busy C. willing to talk D. impossible to get
Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of_____.
A. long distances B. difficult climates
C. fresh and tasty food D. modern technology
The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to_____.
A. buy more local food B. increase international trade
C. travel long distances D. use imported materials
This passage is mainly about_____.
A. how local food travels from field to plate B. what“ food miles” is and its effects
C how some countries import their food D. where different kinds of food come from

Stop Smoking Now—We Can Help!
In almost every US city and town, there are local organizations to help people stop smoking. One of the most popular and successful is the California Smokers' Helpline. Here is a page from one of their leaflets.
When you really want a cigarette—try the three Ds：
1. Delay: Look at your watch and wait for a couple of minutes. If you can wait two minutes, you won’ t want to smoke.
2. Drink something: If you drink water or some other drinks, you will reduce the need to have something in your mouth.
3. Deep breathing: Breathe in slowly and deeply. Count to five when your lungs are full. Then breathe out slowly. Repeat several times.
And here are some ideas from Florida Anti-smoking Club to help people to give up smoking:
1. Make a plan: Make a list of friends who smoke and places where you smoke. Don’t see those people and don’t go to those places!
2. Keep busy: Instead of smoking, make a phone call, take a short walk or talk with a friend.
3. Develop new interests: Exercise—walking, biking, Jogging, swimming or taking a music class—helps you to forget about cigarettes.
It is now against the law for anyone to smoke anywhere at any time in our school. So set a date, and act at once to give up smoking for your own good.

三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures —those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 metres above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的)rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff(悬崖).
Why do people take part in such activities as these Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival (生存).
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
1. A best title for the text is _____.
A. Dangerous sports: what and why
B. The boredom of modern life
C. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous
D. The need for excitement
2. More and more people today _____.
A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping
B. are climbing the highest mountains
C. are coming close to death in sports
D. are looking for adventures such as travelling into unknown places
3. In bungee jumping, you_____.
A. jump as high as you can
B. slide down a rope to the ground
C. attach yourself to a rope and fall to the ground
D. fall towards the ground without a rope
4. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because_____.
A. they have a lot of free time
B. they can go to hospital if they are injured
C. their life is short of excitement
D. they no longer need to hunt for food

Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere (气氛)by striking the match of talks. I try to listen politely, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening to.

With a sudden change of interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him ”
With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.” I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.

三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源)of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from“field to plate”, is called“ food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者).Why is this, and what are the effects of these long distances
Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.
Some countries have to import(进口)most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.
what's wrong with"food miles" Is this not a good way of increasing international trade I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的)warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long Journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.
What is called "food miles" according to this passage
A. The origins of the food. B. The effects of long distances.
C. The journey from field to plate. D. The disadvantages of imported food.
The underlined word "available" in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_____.”
A. easy to get B. not busy C. willing to talk D. impossible to get
Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of_____.
A. long distances B. difficult climates
C. fresh and tasty food D. modern technology
The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to_____.
A. buy more local food B. increase international trade
C. travel long distances D. use imported materials
This passage is mainly about_____.
A. how local food travels from field to plate B. what“ food miles” is and its effects
C how some countries import their food D. where different kinds of food come from

Stop Smoking Now—We Can Help!
In almost every US city and town, there are local organizations to help people stop smoking. One of the most popular and successful is the California Smokers' Helpline. Here is a page from one of their leaflets.
When you really want a cigarette—try the three Ds：
1. Delay: Look at your watch and wait for a couple of minutes. If you can wait two minutes, you won’ t want to smoke.
2. Drink something: If you drink water or some other drinks, you will reduce the need to have something in your mouth.
3. Deep breathing: Breathe in slowly and deeply. Count to five when your lungs are full. Then breathe out slowly. Repeat several times.
And here are some ideas from Florida Anti-smoking Club to help people to give up smoking:
1. Make a plan: Make a list of friends who smoke and places where you smoke. Don’t see those people and don’t go to those places!
2. Keep busy: Instead of smoking, make a phone call, take a short walk or talk with a friend.
3. Develop new interests: Exercise—walking, biking, Jogging, swimming or taking a music class—helps you to forget about cigarettes.
It is now against the law for anyone to smoke anywhere at any time in our school. So set a date, and act at once to give up smoking for your own good.

三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures —those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 metres above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的)rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff(悬崖).
Why do people take part in such activities as these Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival (生存).
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
1. A best title for the text is _____.
A. Dangerous sports: what and why
B. The boredom of modern life
C. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous
D. The need for excitement
2. More and more people today _____.
A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping
B. are climbing the highest mountains
C. are coming close to death in sports
D. are looking for adventures such as travelling into unknown places
3. In bungee jumping, you_____.
A. jump as high as you can
B. slide down a rope to the ground
C. attach yourself to a rope and fall to the ground
D. fall towards the ground without a rope
4. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because_____.
A. they have a lot of free time
B. they can go to hospital if they are injured
C. their life is short of excitement
D. they no longer need to hunt for food

Recently,a new research shows that different kinds of music can influence different moods. Now would you please talk about different music
If you feel stressed and worry a lot, you can listen to pop music. After you listen to it, you will feel relaxed. Some of the students are crazy about computer games and feel over excited. They can listen to country music. After listening to it, they will feel calm and peaceful. Some people feel tired and sleepy. They can listen to rock music. After they listen to it, they will feel excited. Sometimes I feel lonely and sad.I often listen to disco music. After I listen to it, I feel happy again.
Music is so wonderful. I like it very much.
