When high school student Katie Shipley was born with a serious brain disease doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school.
Now, Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon, but she was also named the school's prom (高中毕业舞会) queen.
Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen, her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen. Courtney found Michael Parks, who also thought it was a great idea.
“I really got to know Shipley,” said Michael. “When you take the time to get to know other people, it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself.”
Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twitter, explaining their plans for the prom. “It became very popular in the school,” she said.
Their efforts paid off, and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen.
On the day of the prom, Katie wore a very beautiful dress. Her grandmother, Joan Fraley, who also went to the prom, said the night will stay with her always.
“I was standing there and the children were shouting her name,” she said. “They called her name as the new prom queen — I started crying. I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southridge High School.”
Katie repeated that feeling.
“I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me. I love you all.”
Todd Corsetti, the principal (校长) at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his “proudest moments.”
“I think teenagers have great hearts and are really looking to make the world a better place,” Todd said. “As we finish our school year, it's a great legacy (遗产) to leave the other classes who come after them.”

While English is getting more important in our schools, Chinese has become popular among foreign kids. But Chinese can be more difficult to learn. At least 16-year-old Piao Chenglong thinks so. “English is easier for me. Chinese characters (汉字) have too many strokes (笔画),” said Piao. “But I want to learn it. I want to study at Beijing University when I grow up.” Piao is from Korea. He came to China in 2008.
In Korea, there are more than 300, 000 Chinese learners like Piao. Some Korean students begin to learn to write the language on their first day at school. To help students learn Chinese, Korea holds speaking competitions for high school students every year.
Chinese isn’t just popular in Korea. People from all the world want to learn it. The Ministry of Education of China says that nearly 130 million people from 85 countries are learning Chinese. This number will be increasing to 800 million in the coming years.
In America, Chinese is the second most popular foreign language after Spanish. Some American middle schools have Chinese classes. Students learn to make jiaozi and tie Chinese knots (中国结). Some even try to write and draw in the Chinese way!
People want to learn Chinese because China is becoming such an important country. Foreign countries want to understand China better to help them with business. The Chinese government is also helping the world learn Chinese. It has sent more than 200 Chinese teachers to more than 60 countries in the world. Many more Confucius Institutes (孔子学院) will be set up in the world. These institutes will teach Chinese to foreign students.
8. Which of the following is the topic sentence for the text
A. Chinese has become popular among foreign kids.

10. According to the text, some American middle school students learn to do the following EXCEPT ________.
A. making jiaozi
B. writing and drawing in the Chinese way
C. tying Chinese knots
D. singing Chinese songs
11. Why do foreign people want to learn Chinese
A. Because Chinese is getting more important in their schools.
B. Because Chinese characters have too many strokes.
C. Because the number of people learning Chinese will be 800 million.
D. Because China is becoming more and more important in the world.

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air,water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you， you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed， some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）。 Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places， they usually grow into new plants.
12. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A. plants are important for life
B. plants cannot grow without air
C. there are many plants in the world
D. we can not live without water
13. Plants can make food from______.
A. flower,water and air B. water,sunlight and air
C. air,water and soil D. air,sun and light
14. What can we infer(推断) from the passage
A. Of all living things animals are most important
B. Without plants,man will die out
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds
D. Spores are seeds
15. This passage may be taken from______.
A. a medicine book B. a science magazine
C. a novel D. an experiment report

Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock. She remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air,water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you， you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed， some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）。 Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places， they usually grow into new plants.
12. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A. plants are important for life
B. plants cannot grow without air
C. there are many plants in the world
D. we can not live without water

B. Without plants,man will die out
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds
D. Spores are seeds
15. This passage may be taken from______.

“Oh, yes, but I have no money on me,” she replied.
“Oh, that’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” the owner said, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly,
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your thanks to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock. She remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to say sorry to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
