About ten yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs ago, a young and successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his new car.

Miles to Go took me on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a road trip through the life of a girl that I thought I already knew everything about. With every sentence, I felt like Miley was talking to me, having a sister-to-sister chat. She wrote this with her heart, and that is why it is so meaningful.
Miley is not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a cookie-cutter (千篇一律的) celebrity, like many say. She knows where she came from and won’t forget it. She lives by her values and holds onto her strong faith.
Family is al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ways Miley’s top priority. If her little sister, Noah, wants her to stay home and watch a movie, Miley will. Even if Miley gets invited to a celebrity party, it’s clear that Miley will choose her family first.
My favorite part of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the book is when she talks about Vanessa, a 9-year-old girl suffering from cystic fibrosis (囊性纤维变性). Miley met her at a hospital and they became friends. Miley kept in contact with her family and often visited Vanessa at the hospital or called when she was on tour. One day Miley called only to find that Vanessa’s time on the earth had ended. Miley was very sad. She immediately got off the tour bus and lay down in a frozen field. This was when Miley realized how important it is to love every day and not take it for granted. This is just one of Miley’s many beautifull stories.
Miley connects with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) readers. For someone so young, Miley is one of the most brilliant people that I have ever seen. Her fame hasn’t changed her; she stays grounded with the help of her family and her faith.
When this book ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me out, I became Miley’s number-one fan all over again. In reading Miles to Go, I felt like a part of the family.
25. Why does the author think Miles to Go is very meaningful
A. Miley wrote the book with all her emotions.
B. One can have a heart-to-heart talk with its author.
C. It tells many interesting stories about Miley’s family life.
D. It tells an inspi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ring story of a girl bravely fighting against her illness.
26. We can learn from the text that. Miley .
A. loves her family very much
B. regards her work as top priority
C. likes watching TV very much
D. was only 9 years old when she wrote the book
27. Which of the following words can best describe Miley
A. Ambitious, active and brave.
B. Cautious, sensitive and patient.
C. Lovely, humorous and easy-going.
D. Considerate, independent and strong-minded.
28. In which col ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )umn of a newspaper can we most probably find this text
A. Culture. B. Entertainment.
C. Book Review. D. Travel Guide.
C
Measuring up to 10. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )5 feet in length, the western green mamba (曼巴蛇) is the second longest snake in Africa, with the black mamba being the first. It is also the most agile (敏捷的) snake in the mamba family. Their color is changeable, which helps them join their environment. Another distinctive feature of the snake is its long tail with a sharp point.
The western gre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en mamba lives in rain forests. Being an arboreal species, these snakes spend most of their time moving among the tree tops. However, they usually leave their trees to pursue a potential meal on the ground. The western green mamba is mostly active at day, but can also be seen hunting at night.
The diet of a weste ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rn green mamba consists of birds and a variety of small mammals such as squirrels, mice and even bats. These snakes will approach their targets with the help of their natural skin color. When they are close enough, they will bite their victims and inject them with venom(毒液) quickly. Once the target has died, the weatern green mamba will swallow its meal whole.If faced with danger, these snakes will try to run away. If they are cornered, however, they will become extremely aggressive and strike with their sharp teeth repeatedly.
The female weatern gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )een mamba is the one who lays eggs. She will lay eggs anywhere. The young snakes are completely independent. The mother and father play no part in raising the baby snakes. Yhe babies are born with everything they need to survive in the wilderness. They will have almost no natural predators(捕食者)to worry about when they reach adulthood.
29. In order to avoid being found, the western green mamba______.
A.spends most of the day sleeping
B. rarely comes out to hunt for food
C. tends to stay on trees most of the day
D. hides itself well with the help of its skin color

A. Mainly feedig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on meat. B. Mainly feeding on plants
C. Living on tree ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s most of the time D. Living in the grass most of the time
31. When is the western green mamba most aggressive
A. when it has to protect its eggs
B. When it is searching for food.
C. When it approaches its target
D. When it gets no way to escape
32. What can we learn from the text

C. The western green mamba often swallows live animal whole.
D. The baby western green mamba doesn’t need care.
D
To live a long life, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we’ve been told to eat well, exercise and manage stress. Now an eight-decade study indicates that is only part of the story. Health scientists Friedman explains some secrets to longevity（长寿) in the Longevity Project.
Friedman drew upon the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) work of Stanford University psychologist Lewis Terman, who began the study in 1921.Terman selected about 1,500 of the brightest boys and girls that he could find and tracked them throughout their lives. He died in 1956, but the project was carried on by others. Friedman took over the work in 1990 and used the data gathered for decades to better understand health and longevity.
“Genetic factors o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ffer part of the explanation for why about one third of the people are more exposed to diseases and live shorter lives,”says Friedman. “ But there’s much more to that.”
Take character for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )example. Cheerful and optimistic children are actually less likely to live long lives. “The most cheerful and optimistic kids grew up to take more risks,” explains Friedman. “They tended to be smokers or heavier drinkers, and their hobbies were riskier.”
Often, with responsi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bility come stress. But some stress is not necessarily a bad thing,says Friedman. Actually, when the participants found meaning in their stressful jobs, they were committed to them and stress didn’t hurt them. They thrived(茁壮成长) in spite of---or perhaps with the aid of---it.
Friedman also fou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd that the conventional wisdom about fitness isn’t quite right. If we try too hard to push ourselves into exercise, it can fail. Physical activity is important, they found, but it’s more about doing what you love than sticking filmly to a certain fitness program.
And for adults who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have fallen into long-sitting lifestyles, it’s not too late. “if you can pick up an activity that you like---you don’ t have to go to the gym every morning---that really has a big impact on the rest of your life,” says Friedman.
33. Which of the following is NOT true about the Longevity Project
A. It has lasted for eight decades.
B. It was started by Terman in 1921.
C. It paused for a while after Terman’s death.
D. About 1,500 boys and girls took part in the study.
34. If you want to join a fitness program, you’d better ______
A. stick firmly to it
B. try to exercise as hard as you can
C. ask other people to do it with you
D. choose whatever you really enjoy
35. Accoding to Friedman,______.
A. cheerful and optimistic children tend to live longer
B. taking up stressful jobs is always bad for people’s longevity
C. it’s impossible ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for adults with long-sitting lifestyles to live longer
D. genetic fac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tors are not the only reason for people’s getting diseases

It’s generally ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )believed that nothing in the world is precious than life. You can’t help feel sorry for the woman after you look at the picture. In this picture, the driver’s mother is crying sadly for her son’death caused by his drunk driving. In recent years, drunk driving has become a hot topic. It is said that a number of people who died each year due to drunk driving in the world is much larger than that of people who die in a modern war. Unfortunately, our government has taken plenty of measure against drunk driving. People believe that may help prevent from this dangerous behavior. Most important, in my opinion, drivers themselves should realize the importance of give up drunk driving.
