The Listening Text
Jack: Hi, Dawei. Are you OK
Dawei: Yeah... I'm all right, I suppose.
Jack: OK... I don’t mean to be nosy, but are you sure You look down.
Dawei: I could be better, to be honest.
Jack: That's what I thought. Why don’t you tell me what's up
Dawei:Well,I took part in a national English speaking competition in Beijing,and I finished in last place.
Jack: Oh, really I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure you did your best, though.
Dawei: I did,but it wasn’t good enough. The other kids were just better than me.
Jack: But you must have been very good to get into the competition.You should be proud of yourself.
Dawei:Well,there was a competition at school first that was held to see who would go into the national competition. I won that, but...
Jack: There you go! You have no reason to be sad. You’re the best English speaker at school.
Dawei: That’s the problem. I don’t think I am.I think Liu Jing is better than me, and she should have gone to Beijing instead of me .
Jack: Who's Liu Jing
Dawei: She's a girl in my class. When we did the school competition, we were the top two students. The final school competition was between me and her -the winner would go to Beijing.
Jack: OK, but you won, fair and square. Why are you so upset
Dawei: I think I was just lucky. Liu Jing’s much better at English than I am. If she had gone to the national competition, she would have won. Our school would have become well known, and everyone would have been happy Instead,I went to Beijing and lost.
Jack: Oh, Dawei, you can’t think like that! Who knows what would have happened I know this is hard for you, but you should cheer up. I mean, did you have a good time in Beijing
Dawer: Yes, I suppose I did. It’s a really exciting city, and I met some fantastic people.
Jack: There you go! You had a good time. And I’m sure your parents are proud of you!
Dawei: They are, yes.It was a great experience,but I just wish I had won.
Jack:[laughs] You can’t win everything, Dawei! You’re the best in the school and that means a lot.Perhaps one day, if you study hard, you can be the best in the country!
Dawei: Yes,I hadn’t thought of that.There will be another competition in March. Perhaps I could try again then.
Jack: That's the spirit!I know an English saying: “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
Dawei: Yes, that’s good advice.Thanks,Jack. You’ve really cheered me up.I feel a lot better now.
Jack: No problem. And why don’t you talk to Liu Jing You can practise together.
Dawei:Yes,I'll do that.Thank you so much!

Born in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the class, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.
As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university--an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.
The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature--not every student likes being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use--while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network.
Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”,which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.
The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision--to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.
Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty first century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.
1.What can we know about Mark Zuckerberg when he was a student
A.He was often praised by teachers for the website he created.
B.He had good academic performance.
C.He alone created a website called Facebook.
D.He encouraged students to set up business like him.
2. Why did Zuckerberg shut the site down
A.Because his website was not popular.
B.Because he was doubted for the way he used photographs.
C.Because he needed time to reconsider his choice.
D.Because he stole resource on Harvard server.
3.Which words can best describe Zuckerberg
A.Easy going and smart. B.Quiet and shy.
C.Talented and outgoing. D.Rebellious and creative.
4.What is the best title of the passage
A.Mark Zuckerberg and His Facebook B.The Foundation of Facebook
C.A Talent from Harvard University D.The Development of Facebook

A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial,” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”
5.Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace
A.To help the poor children. B.To make a big fortune.
C.To inspire his community. D.To get more donations.
6.What do we know about Luke Mickelson
A.He had his own fish farm. B.He changed his career from time to time.
C.He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid. D.He originally had a relaxing and pleasant life.
7.How did other people react to Mickelson’s project
A.They showed little interest in it.
B.They were supportive and involved in it.
C.They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.
D.They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.
8.What is Mickelson’s attitude to the nonprofit
A.Ambiguous. B.Defensive.
C.Cautious. D.Positive.
