Ⅴ.阅读理解
Text-messaging, or simply texting, which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps save money. If you have a few words to greet your family and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you “talk” to someone secretly if you don't want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.
However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk(垃圾)messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can't receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.
What's more, if you don't do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It is reported that about 6,000 people are killed and half a million are injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don't notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, no drivers of the USA are now allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws forbidding the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.
1．When your phone box gets full because of junk messages, what will happen?
A. Your phone will break down.
B. Your phone can't get through.

D. You lose contact with others.
2．What did the researchers at Stony Brook University find?
A. Texting can cause accidents more easily.
B. Texting while walking can cause death.
C. Calling while driving is easier to lead to accidents.
D. Many people are killed and injured each year.
3．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Drivers are allowed to text in the USA.
B. Texting while walking is dangerous.
C. Junk messages cannot prevent you receiving messages.
D. The advantages of texting are not obvious.
4．This passage is written to tell us that ________.
A. we should do less texting

C. texting has many disadvantages
D. we should do texting properly

On Tuesday, the White House and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) set new limits(限制) on advertising food and drink in schools.
The rules ban(禁止) advertisements for unhealthy food in schools. The ad ban includes sugary drinks that account for more than 90% of unhealthy ads. An ad for Coca-Cola, for example, will be removed from a scoreboard(记分牌) at a high school football game. However, ads for Diet Coke and Dasani water, owned by the same company, are allowed to display(展示)．
The new rules are part of the First Lady's “Let's Move” campaign to fight childhood obesity(肥胖). Her goal is to get kids to eat healthier food. The marketing limits came after new USDA regulations that put a limit on the calorie, fat and sugar in most school food items. “The idea is simple—our classrooms should be healthy places，” the First Lady Michelle Obama said. “Because when parents are working hard to teach their kids healthy habits at home, their work shouldn't be destroyed by unhealthy messages in schools.” However, the healthier food rules are criticized by people who think the government should not control what kids eat and by some students who don't like the healthier food.
It is reported that food companies spend $149 million a year on marketing food to kids, and many big companies are supporting the new rules. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have started to advertise healthier products. For schools, junk food ads like the Coca-Cola scoreboard will be taken down.
“The new limits ensure(保证) that schools remain safe places where kids can learn and eat healthy food，” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said. The rules will help guide schools on ways to create standards(标准) for food and physical activities. They will require parents and the community to be involved in the campaign.
1．What's the main idea of the text?
A. Having a balanced diet in schools is important.
B. New limits on advertising food in schools have been set.
C. It's Michelle's duty to make sure schools are safe places.
D. Banning advertisements for Coca-Cola in schools is necessary.
2．The “Let's Move” campaign aims to________.
A. instruct parents to cook healthy food at home
B. let children keep away from sugar
C. warn children of the danger of obesity
D. keep American children healthy
3．What's Coca-Cola's attitude towards the new limits?
A. Supportive. B．Unsatisfied.
C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. All advertisements for Coca-Cola in schools will be removed.
B. All people approve of banning advertisements for unhealthy food.
C. Schools play an important role in forming children's healthy habits.
D. The new limits will have a negative effect on all food companies.

You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It's the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search exposes plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.
The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked(激发) real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we'll become more intelligent.
The_idea_took_off,_with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose. Even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them produce better milk.
I'll leave the debate on the effect on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent.
1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.
C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music.
D. There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect.
2．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that ________.
A. people were strongly against the idea
B. the idea was accepted by many people
C. Mozart played an important part in people's life
D. the US government helped promote the idea
3．What is the author's attitude towards the Mozart effect?
A. Favourable. B. Objective.
C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
4．What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Listening to Mozart, necessary?
B. What music is beneficial?
C. What is the Mozart effect?
D. To be or not to be?
B
Jake O' Brien，one of the central characters in Sterling R．Walker's science fiction novel The Orphan Ship，has just received some bad news. The medical school he has been going to is closing down because of financial(财务的) problems；and to make matters worse，the only other medical programme in the world also happens to be on another planet. Thus，in order to become a doctor，Jake packs his suitcase and jumps on board the passenger ship Atlanta to go to Mars!
When Jake and his cousin Lorina Murphy journey to Mars Station in search of educational opportunities，they never guess they will turn into lifesavers. But because of the extreme poverty and child exploitation(剥削)happening on Mars，these two cousins are forced to accept their true destiny(命运)．However，they are not alone in their efforts to save the poor “street kids”．Early in the story these two heroes are joined by the crew(船员) of the Ishmael，which in the course of the story becomes a rescue ship and a safe place for over one hundred homeless children.
In this novel，there are different themes. While fighting the cruel people who sell the “street kids” of Mars Station，the colourful characters of The Orphan Ship also manage to fall in love，find wealth，and form lasting friendships.
The real power of the story comes from the characters' expression of fellow feeling—a feeling of understanding others because you have shared similar experiences. The characters in The Orphan Ship have a sense of social duty and spiritual commitment. For example，at one point in the story，shocked by the way the homeless children have been treated，Lorina notices “a pair of black children sitting under a street light begging food from passers-by”．Yet “no one gives the children a second look”. Fortunately，however，Lorina and her new-found friends—the crew of the Ishmael，which soon becomes the “Orphan Ship”—do care for the children of Mars Station，as they join forces to provide them with safe passage to the earth and also a home. In this way the theme of compassion is the centrepiece of the entire novel.
5．Jake decides to go to Mars because ________.
A. studying medicine is cheaper on Mars than on the earth
B. the medical school on Mars is better than that on the earth
C. Mars is the only place where he can realize his dream
D. his cousin encourages him to become a doctor on Mars
6．What's Jake and his cousin's destiny?
A. To save other people's lives.
B. To become the crew of the Ishmael.
C. To fail to get an education on Mars.
D. To make friends with homeless children.
7．All the following are themes of the novel EXCEPT ________.
A．friendship B．spreading knowledge
C．finding wealth D．love
8．The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “________”．
A．passers-by
B．Lorina's new-found friends
C．homeless children
D．the black
Ⅲ.书面表达

Ⅲ.Dear_Jack，
I_went_to_see_an_art_exhibition_in_our_city_last_week._It_was_fantastic!
The exhibition displayed a variety of art collections at home and abroad, ranging from ancient times to modern times. And there were all kinds of masterpieces, which were different in style. I appreciated Da Vinci's realistic paintings while Picasso's paintings were so abstract that I found them difficult to understand. Also, there were Qi Baishi's Chinese paintings, which gave me great pleasure and relaxation.
When I walked into the gallery, I felt as if I were inside a white seashell. Though the admission price was high, I think the exhibition was well worth a visit.
Wish_you_could_come_and_have_a_look.
Yours，
Li_Hua

倒装
倒装句是指为了语法结构的需要，或为了强调而把谓语的一部分或全部放到主语之前的句子。倒装句有两种：
一、部分倒装
部分倒装是指把谓语中的be动词、助动词或情态动词置于主语前面。常见于下列几种情况：
1. 含有否定意义的副词或词组，如never, little, seldom, not, not only, not until, rarely, in no way, nowhere等位于句首作状语时。如：
Seldom do I go to work by bus.
Not until twelve o'clock did she go to bed last night. Period Three │ 语法归纳 Period Three │ 语法归纳 [注意] (1)否定词如果只是主语的一部分，而不是作状语时，则句子不必倒装。如：
Not all experts are in favour of the project.
Not every one of his age is fond of playing online games.
(2)not only…but also… 在连接两个并列分句时，如果not only位于句首，则前一分句倒装，后一分句仍然用陈述语序。此称为“前倒后不倒”。如：
Not only is he good at English, but also he does well in other subjects.
Not only have they influenced our own generation, but they will also influence generations to come.(3)not until引导状语从句位于句首时，从句不能倒装，倒装的是后面的主句。此称为“主倒从不倒”。如：
Not until he got seriously ill did he know the importance of health.
Not until I began to work did I realize how much time I had wasted.
2. only位于句首修饰状语或状语从句时。如：
Only with hard work can you expect to get a pay rise.
Only in this way can you make progress in your English.
Only when the war was over in 1945 was he able to come back home.
Only after you have reached eighteen can you join the army.Period Three │ 语法归纳 [注意] only引导状语从句位于句首时，主句倒装，从句不倒装。此也称为“主倒从不倒”。
3. 表示前句说明的肯定情况也适用于后者时，用“so＋be动词/情态动词/助动词＋主语”。如：
His brother is a college student, and so is mine.
The man can speak three foreign languages, and so can his wife.
[注意] “so＋主语＋be动词/情态动词/助动词”表示赞同，常译成“的确如此”。如：
I decided to get up early the next morning and so I did.
You say Tom went to the ball yesterday. So he did, and so did I.Period Three │ 语法归纳 Period Three│ 语法归纳 4. 表示前句说明的否定情况也适用于后者时，用“neither/nor＋be动词/情态动词/助动词＋主语”。如：
If you don't go to the cinema tonight, neither will I.
I haven't been to the US and nor have my three brothers.
5. 在so…that…， such…that…句型中，把so, such引导的结构放在句首时。如：
So difficult was it to work out the problem that I turned to Tom for help.
Such an interesting book is it that I'd love to read it a second time.

一、如何写好开头
好的开头是成功的一半。开头写得好会使文章有吸引力，会给阅卷者留下美好的印象。任何一篇文章都应该做到主题鲜明，中心突出，紧扣题目。高考作文篇幅短小，因此开头不能冗长拖沓，务必要点题，即说清楚文章的人物、事件和作者的观点。开头一般来说要做到开门见山，使读者迅速了解文章要谈什么，以立刻引起读者的兴趣。下面介绍几种常见的开头的写法：
1．主题句法——提出一个观点或论据作为文章要阐明和论述的主题
I am a high school student from China and I am quite for your opinion about the best gift: the value of a gift lies in its intention so we should devote more to it. [重庆卷](主题句法开头)
我是中国的一个高中生。我非常同意你关于最好的礼物的观点：礼物的价值在于它的用心，所以我们应该在它上面多花一些心思。Period Four │ 基础写作知识 2．背景法——说明事件发生的时间、地点、背景等
In order to encourage the students to take outdoor exercise, our school organized a mountain-climbing on April 10. Hundreds of us took part in it. (背景法开头)
为了鼓励学生们参加户外运动，在4月10日，我们学校组织了一次登山活动。我们数百人参加了。Period Four │ 基础写作知识 3．问题法——用提出问题的方法来引出文章的内容，以吸引读者的注意力
This happens frequently in a teenager's world which depends on cellphones too much. In the eyes of the youngsters', friendship is important. But when it comes to the balance of friends and cellphones, kids tend to regard the latter as their bigger share. [重庆卷](问题法开头)
这种现象在青少年中间频繁发生，青少年的生活过分依赖于手机。在青少年的眼中，友谊是重要的。但当涉及朋友和手机之间的平衡时，他们倾向于认为后者占的份额更大些。Period Four │ 基础写作知识 Period Four │ 基础写作知识
4．引用法——引用某些名人名言或常见的习语、谚语作为文章的开头
This quotation from Winston Churchill tells us that we shouldn't get discouraged right after failures. Rather, we should keep trying with enthusiasm. Success consists in the ability to continue efforts through failures. [福建卷](引用法开头)
温斯顿·丘吉尔说的这句名言告诉我们，失败之后我们不应该丧失信心。相反，我们应该带着热情继续努力。成功在于失败后继续努力的能力。5．实例法——通过一个实例或现象引出话题
Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining about heavy traffic. It has seriously influenced people's daily life and economic development.(实例法开头)
现今，许多大城市的人们都在抱怨交通拥堵。它严重地影响了人们的日常生活和经济发展。Period Four │ 基础写作知识 二、如何写好结尾
写好一篇文章要把好结尾关，避免虎头蛇尾。好的结尾会深化主题，进一步强化阅卷者的良好印象。文章最后可以回到开头提出的中心思想上，达到再次强调的效果；或者引用格言、名人名言总结全文，既言简意赅又有较强的说服力；也可用几句话概括全文的内容，并进一步强调文章的中心思想或作者观点。结尾主要有以下几种写法：Period Four │ 基础写作知识 Period Four │ 基础写作知识
1．照应开头
So next time, when your friend falls, don't laugh at him or her but help him or her stand up. [重庆卷](照应开头结尾)
所以下次，当你的朋友摔倒了，不要嘲笑他/她，而是帮助他/她站起来。
2．复述中心
Actually, we can't succeed in everything we try. What's important is that we should stick at it. [福建卷](复述中心结尾)
事实上，我们不能每件事都成功。重要的是，我们应该坚持。Period Four │ 基础写作知识 3．总结式
In a word , my life will be much richer and more colourful. [全国新课标卷Ⅱ] (总结式结尾)
总之，我的生活会更加丰富多彩。
Not until then did I realize words could be powerful in both positive and negative ways. We should avoid hurting others if we can't always be encouraging when we speak. (总结式结尾)
直到那时我才意识到所说的话在正面和负面都是很有力量 的。如果我们讲话时我们不能总是鼓励他人，我们也应该避免伤害他人。4．引用式
I believe my dream will come true one day because “where there is a will, there is a way”．(引用式结尾)
我相信我的梦想总有一天会实现，因为“有志者事竟成”。Period Four │ 基础写作知识 5．希望式

Period Four │ 基础写作知识 Not onlybut also enjoys beautiful thingsseeing sunrise如何写新闻报道
新闻报道是对最近发生的事实的报道。具体地讲，新闻是一种客观存在的事实。这种事实在时间上是最近发生的，在内容上是新鲜的，在价值上是大家所关心和需要的，并且需要通过新闻工具和其他各种手段进行报道传播。新闻报道最大的特点是真实。
新闻报道记录的是发生过的事情，因此凡涉及此报道的具体内容，应用一般过去时表达。
英文新闻报道通常包括下面四个部分：Period Four │ 单元话题写作1．标题：标题是新闻的题目，是编辑对最有新闻价值的内容的浓缩、概括。为了撷取新闻要点、诠释新闻意义、吸引读者阅读，好的标题应该简洁明了。如：
A Terrible Earthquake
A Sandstorm Hit the North-west
China—The First Spacewalk
2．导语：导语是新闻开头的第一段或第一句话，能扼要地揭示出新闻的核心内容。如：
September 29, 2011 saw China's first step towards building a space station.
On October 23, 2011 a terrible earthquake struck the east of Turkey.Period Four │ 单元话题写作3．主体：主体是新闻的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步展开和阐释。主体要根据不同内容运用适当句型对新闻细节进行描述。如：
The earthquake destroyed nearly everything in Wenchuan county, Sichuan Province.
They had to put up tents because it was raining hard.
The government sent 3,000 firefighters and policemen there to help them move to a safe place.Period Four │ 单元话题写作4．结束语：结束语一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容做概括性的总结。有时，作者会根据报道的事实在结束语中提出令人深思的问题。如：
In a word, it is necessary for us to learn to protect ourselves.
I feel sad.If we all do something for them, things will be sure to get better.
I believe we can certainly overcome the disaster with the public and the government working together.Period Four │ 单元话题写作【活学活用】

Ⅱ. 阅读理解
In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship，” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”
Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary，” Dr Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan's most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced.
“An adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population，” said Dr John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”
Medical experts agree that everyone should practise reasonable “moderation(节制)” in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoon. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.
“Na is not your enemy，” says Comek's Dr Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proved that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”
1．From Dr Dustan's study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that ________.
A．a low-salt diet may be good to some patients
B．the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one's blood pressure
C．the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patient
D．an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone
2．In the 3rd paragraph, Dr Laragh implied that ________.
A．people should not be afraid of taking much excessive salt
B．doctors should not advise people to avoid salt
C．an adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to sick people
D．excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population
3．What is the experts' advice for average people on salt consumption?
A．They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.
B．They should avoid salt as often as possible.
C．They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoon of salt a day.
D．They needn't care about how much salt they consume.
4．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The salt scare is not reasonable.
B．The cause of hypertension is disclosed.
C．The moderate use of salt is recommended.
D．Salt consumption is to be avoided.

Koalas remind people of teddy bears. They have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat noses make them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren't cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws! Koalas are marsupials. This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo.
The baby koala lives in its mother's pocket for the first six months of its life.
The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus(桉树) leaves they eat. That's where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live. It's also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!
Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it's because they're lazy. But koalas aren't lazy. They sleep so much because there isn't much nutrition(营养) in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is move slowly and sleep a lot.
After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favourite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby.
5. According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike?
A. They both have thick fur.
B. They both have sharp teeth.
C. They both eat eucalyptus leaves.
D. They both carry their young in a pocket.
6．The word “koala” comes from a word that means “________”．
A. no drink B. moving slowly
C. large ears D. barking loudly
7．Why do koalas sleep a lot?
A. Their babies need to get much rest.
B. They get tired from playing so much.
C. Their food does not give them much energy.
D. They do not like to be awake when it is warm.
8．If an adult koala screams like a baby, he may get ________.
A. worried B. hungry C. scared D. sleepy
C
One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank stare that asks the question, “Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me？”
The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.
Take rubber(橡胶) for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial(商业的)rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.
Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect—or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial meltdown of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.
Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.
9. The underlined word “Synthetics” probably means a kind of ________.
A. natural rubber B. tropical grass
C. man-made material D. tropical trees
10. In the last paragraph but one the author tries to ________.
A. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation
B. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests
C. persuade people to buy something synthetic
D. let people realize the good effect of tropical deforestation
11. The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is ________.
A. puzzling B. cold
C. supporting D. opposed
D
When I was six years old, my mother started making me take piano lessons. Every morning, she would make sure I sat in front of the piano and practised for at least one hour. After two years, I still didn't like it. When the time for my Grade 1 examination came, I couldn't go through with it. I cried because I didn't want to play the piano anymore. In the end, I was spared from going for any more lessons. That was the end of my music career.
When I look back at that time, I ask myself—why did I do that for two years? I didn't think about it then but the answer seems obvious now—I didn't think I had a choice.
Then for twelve years, I felt that my life had no meaning. I felt that I really couldn't go on. I kept waiting for something outside of me to happen to make me happy. But the universe intervened(干涉) and sent me help disguised in the form of a sales call.
One afternoon a lady called me about a Tony Robbins event called Unleash the Power Within. Part of me was curious; but when the time came, I still was considering if I should go in or go to the beach instead. I made a choice to give it a try. In that hall filled with 4,000 people, Tony gave me back something I never knew I had—the power of choice. I left there renewed and refreshed, excited about my new life, knowing from that point forward that in life there are no victims, only choices. To this day, I sometimes wonder how differently my life would have turned out if I had missed taking that sales call.
Sometimes in life, we are stuck in certain situations and it may seem that there is nothing we can do about it. Just remember that everything in life is about choice. You can make a choice to remove yourself from any situation that is not serving you right now. The question is—will you?
12. What was the possible reason for the author's giving up the piano?
A. His mother thought he played badly.
B. He liked playing other instruments.
C. He didn't like to play the piano.
D. He couldn't pass the examination.
13. In the author's opinion, the sales call is________.
A. to promote certain kinds of products to him
B. to help him in a different way
C. to give him a chance to make a choice
D. to interfere his normal life
14. After the author participated in the Tony Robbins event, he________.
A. forgot about all the pleasant things in his life
B. went to the beach immediately
C. was hopeful and optimistic
D. was ready to help others
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People should try different things in life.
B. Somehow we will get help in the end.
C. We should participate in more activities.
D. We aren't helpless; we can control our own lives.

Ⅴ.One possible version：
Dear_headmaster,_
I'm_writing_to_request_you_to_allow_us_to_surf_the_Internet_in_the_computer_classroom._
Right now, we cannot use the computer in the computer classroom to get online, which makes us very upset because we can't search for the information we need or read news.
As far as I am concerned, surfing the Internet can benefit us in many ways. First of all, we can search for answers to some problems that we come across in our studies. Second, it is necessary for us to learn about the latest news. More importantly, we are no longer children now, so we are able to control our behaviour. I promise we won't visit unhealthy websites.
I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final decision.
Yours，
Li Hua
