“I can’t believe what I’m hearing!” I thought to myself. I thought Jeff was the last candidate (候选人) for president of the Students’ Union. My best friend Tony came to me and said, “I’m sorry. I really thought you should be 16 .”
Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the school dining hall. I offered him a(an) 17 “congratulations” and walked away to my usual table. To my 18 , Jeff put his plate beside mine.
“I’m, …er, er—I’m just wondering 19 you would…er…consider (考虑) coming to work on my team,” he said 20 . “You are really smart, and you would be a great partner.”
“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling 21 .
“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow.”
All that right, I thought about the offer from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election (选举) process would give me a 22 to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.
My first goal was to 23 an eye-catching advertisement. Within a few days, we completed a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through the hallway 24 noticing Jeff’s smiling face.
My next step was to 25 which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a 26 club.
With the information I had collected, Jeff had a conversation with the headmaster. Soon a volleyball team and a football team were 27 to add to our after-school programme.
Many students said, “It’ll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president of the Students’ Union.”
Hearing these words made my heart filled with a 28 of achievement (成就). I had wanted to become president of the Students’ Union to do things for students myself. Now I’ve achieved that and 29 more by working as a member of Jeff’s team. He’s become the most popular candidate and I am a big part of his success. The fact that it has made a change to other people’s lives is the real 30 . What a great feeling!

Everyone rushed onto the deck. I jumped out of the barrel when no-one looking, and ran over to Dr Livesey.
We could see three low hills in the moonlight.
“Now, men,” asked Captain Smollett, “have any of you ever seen these islands before ”
“I have, sir” said Silver. “We can anchor to the south, behind the small island. That big hill is called Spy-glass Hill.”
“I have a map here,” said Smollett. “Is this the place ”
Long John Silver was disappointed. It was not Captain Billy Bones’ map, but an accurate copy with the red crosses and written details missing.
“Yes, sir,” he answered, “this is it.”
“Get the captain and the squire down to the cabin,” I whispered to the doctor. “Then send for me. I have terrible news.”
A moment later Captain Smollett said, “We are going to celebrate with a drink in our cabins. You can all have a drink, too.”
The doctor, and the captain and the squire went below. A few minutes later they sent for me, and I told them everything.
“Captain,” said the squire, “you were right and I was wrong. I was a fool. What can we do now ”
“It’s strange,” said the captain, “you can usually see when a crew is going to rebel. But this crew seems fine. Listen, this is what1 think: first, we must go on, because if we turn back now the crew will rebel immediately; second, we have time to think of a plan until we find the treasure; third, some of the crew are on our side. Now, there’s going to be a fight sooner or later. We have your servants, Mr. Trelawney, and ourselves, so that is seven out of twenty-six.”
I began to feel desperate. There were only seven honest sailors out of twenty-six. And one of those was a boy.
34．Where did “I” hide at the beginning of the story
A．In the barrel. B．On the deck. C．In the cabin. D．On the island.

C．He was quick-minded and calm. D．He doubted if “my” words were true.

One day, when I finished raising money for a charity and was on the train back home, I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who helped.
When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbours. And many names came to my mind right away.
While writing the notes, I realized I spent too much time on the phone moving from app to app, enjoying other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors and teachers. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I find myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful food. Jake and I will never forget the cake you made for our wedding. We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”
On December 31, I wrote my last card—to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling coming up inside me. Gratitude.
38．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A．writing thank-you notes B．taking the train back home
C．putting the phone away D．raising money for charities
39．How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina
A．Shy and surprised. B．Pleased and relaxed.
C．Nervous and excited. D．Moved and encouraged.
40．The theme of the December notes might be “________”.
A．charity B．neighbour C．family D．food
41．What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage
A．Many thanks from her neighbors. B．More time to enjoy her own life.
C．More help from people around her. D．Happy moments to be with friends.

Tomatoes taste great. With a lot of vitamins, they are good for you, too! People all over the world enjoy this amazing fruit.

As the plant grows taller, people may tie it to a stick. Next is the blooming stage. Flowers appear. The flowers turn into fruit. Some kinds of tomatoes can be picked in about six more weeks. Some tomatoes are large. One kind of tomato can weigh as much as two pounds.
You can eat raw tomatoes. First, wash them. Then, cut them up for salads or sandwiches. Tomatoes can be cooked, too. They can be grilled, boiled, or even fried. Do you use ketchup(番茄酱) It is made from tomatoes. Tomatoes don’t have a smell. But they taste great in foods around the world. Many dishes from India use tomatoes. Spaghetti sauce and pizza from Italy use them, too. Raw tomatoes are in Mexican salsa.

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the school dining hall. I offered him a(an) 17 “congratulations” and walked away to my usual table. To my 18 , Jeff put his plate beside mine.

My first goal was to 23 an eye-catching advertisement. Within a few days, we completed a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through the hallway 24 noticing Jeff’s smiling face.

Everyone rushed onto the deck. I jumped out of the barrel when no-one looking, and ran over to Dr Livesey.
We could see three low hills in the moonlight.
“Now, men,” asked Captain Smollett, “have any of you ever seen these islands before ”
“I have, sir” said Silver. “We can anchor to the south, behind the small island. That big hill is called Spy-glass Hill.”
“I have a map here,” said Smollett. “Is this the place ”
Long John Silver was disappointed. It was not Captain Billy Bones’ map, but an accurate copy with the red crosses and written details missing.
“Yes, sir,” he answered, “this is it.”
“Get the captain and the squire down to the cabin,” I whispered to the doctor. “Then send for me. I have terrible news.”
A moment later Captain Smollett said, “We are going to celebrate with a drink in our cabins. You can all have a drink, too.”
The doctor, and the captain and the squire went below. A few minutes later they sent for me, and I told them everything.
“Captain,” said the squire, “you were right and I was wrong. I was a fool. What can we do now ”
“It’s strange,” said the captain, “you can usually see when a crew is going to rebel. But this crew seems fine. Listen, this is what1 think: first, we must go on, because if we turn back now the crew will rebel immediately; second, we have time to think of a plan until we find the treasure; third, some of the crew are on our side. Now, there’s going to be a fight sooner or later. We have your servants, Mr. Trelawney, and ourselves, so that is seven out of twenty-six.”
I began to feel desperate. There were only seven honest sailors out of twenty-six. And one of those was a boy.

A．In the barrel. B．On the deck. C．In the cabin. D．On the island.

One day, when I finished raising money for a charity and was on the train back home, I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who helped.
When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbours. And many names came to my mind right away.
While writing the notes, I realized I spent too much time on the phone moving from app to app, enjoying other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors and teachers. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I find myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful food. Jake and I will never forget the cake you made for our wedding. We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”
On December 31, I wrote my last card—to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling coming up inside me. Gratitude.
38．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A．writing thank-you notes B．taking the train back home
C．putting the phone away D．raising money for charities
39．How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina
A．Shy and surprised. B．Pleased and relaxed.
C．Nervous and excited. D．Moved and encouraged.
40．The theme of the December notes might be “________”.
A．charity B．neighbour C．family D．food
