Tom always lived for grades. He was always interested in books and ideas. It seemed that Tom knew everything—except one thing. He didn't know how to get along with other people.
He made his parents believe that school was a waste of time, so he began home schooling with special teachers. He dreamed of being the youngest person to enter university, and he sent letters to famous professors （教授） to see if it was possible.
One day, the doorbell rang. When Tom opened the door, there was his idol（偶像）—Professor Rosen. Tom was so excited that he could hardly speak. The two talked for a long time, exchanging ideas. The professor was surprised at what this young boy knew. “Tom, tell me about your friends. What do you do for fun ” the professor wanted to know.
There was silence as Tom realized that he didn't really have any friends. “Well, I don't have time for all that. I'm too busy with my studies,” he said.
“That's a problem, Tom. You have to learn that the world is not just filled with ideas. It's filled with people. And you have to remember to be what you are…a boy. Boys need to have fun.”
The professor talked a bit more and then said, “I have to go, but I have a test for you. In this box, there are three things. I want you to learn how to use them. It is not very simple and you'll need another person to help you, and I'll be back in a week to see how you're doing. Then, I'll have another test for you.”
The professor left and Tom opened the box. Inside were two baseball gloves and a ball. He tried on a glove and picked up the ball, looking at the other glove with a bright smile…

Confucianism（儒家思想） has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years.
To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants（五常）. These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues（美德） around the world. The most important two are ren and li.
Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius（孔子）explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule （treat others as you wish to be treated）.
While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors. While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us.
Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one's parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious（和谐的） society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.
23. Which are the most important of the Five Constants
A. Ren and yi. B. Ren and li. C. Li and xin. D. Yi and zhi.
24. What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence
A. 博学于文，约之以礼。 B. 学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。
C. 己所不欲，勿施于人。 D. 君子和而不同，小人同而不和。
25. Which of the following is an example of li
A. Building a peaceful society. B. Taking care of one's children.
C. Following rules for drinking tea. D. Learning all through one's life.
26. What does the passage mainly tell us about Confucianism
A. Its general virtues. B. Its long history.
C. Its new challenges. D. Its golden rules.
D
①One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam（果酱） and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn't notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn't make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process.
②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.
③But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process Well, the question has the answer in itself.
④Don't always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride.
⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate（立刻的） results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.
⑥Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favourite cake once in a while.
27. How does the writer start the article
A. By giving an example B. By comparing facts.
C. By using old sayings. D. By listing numbers.
28. What do the underlined words “concentrate on” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Make up. B. Get ready for. C. Point out. D. Pay attention to.
29. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text
A. B. C. D.
30. Which could be the best title for the text
A. Enjoy the process B. What does success mean to us
C. Never give up D. How can we achieve good results

八、书面表达（15分）
One possible version:
It's important for us to keep trying to achieve our goals. I love running and I have kept running for three years.
When I was in Grade 7, I was not good at sports and running was always my headache. I often failed in my running test. In order to catch up with my classmates, I began to practice running every day after school. Sometimes, I was so tired that I really wanted to give up. But I kept telling myself that I could make it. No matter what kind of difficulties I faced, I tried my best to keep running.
Now I do much better in running and I’m very proud of myself.
