When I was in high school, I had clear ideas about what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a wife and mother. No one seemed to understand me. They all advised me to aim high, except for my English teacher. She told me that she trusted my judgement and that she knew all would work out for me in the end.
Well, life was good to me as I achieved my goals. I attended college while waiting for my love to come back home from serving in the navy. We got married and two years later, we started our family. Being a mother was so wonderful. It was all I'd ever dreamed of.
When the day came for all our little darlings to go to school, I began to think about what to do next time. My next goal, I decided, should be to become a teacher. I was so excited! How many people could get the chance to be exactly what they want and then do it again and fulfill a new dream?
However, things changed. My husband had an accident. He was left unable to work, and we were left with lots of problems. Fortunately, not long after that I was awarded a non-traditionea student scholarship (奖学金).
I wanted to send a thank-you note to the company that funded the scholarship. Io my surprise. the big scholarship had been funded by the very same teacher who 20 years earlier had encouraged me to do what I knew was right in my heart! Even after all those years, there she was helping me to realize my second dream.

The population of the United States grows larger every year. The state has been growing the fastest is Nevada.The city that has been receiving the most new residents is Las Vegas, which lies in the desert in Southern Nevada.
Why are so many people moving to Las Vegas? First, it is easy to find a job. Tourism is the number one industry in Las Vegas, so there are many service jobs. Workers are building thousands of new homes, buildings, and schools. The children need teachers. People need to shop for food, clothing, and cars, so the stores are looking for clerks(职员). About one third of the new residents are from California, where it is more difficult to find a job. Second, Nevada has no income tax. Most states have an income tax of 2%, 4%, 5% or more. Third, many people like the weather. Even though it's very hot in the summer, the other seasons are beautiful. There are over 250 days of sunshine each year. Finally, housing is still affordable, with the price of a new home at about $139, 500. People moving from California find that this is reasonable in comparison to homes in their state.
Las Vegas is also the wedding capital of the United States. It is easier to get married in Las Vegas than in any other city in the United States. You don't need a blood test. You don't need to wait for a week for a marriage license. It's possible to get married the same day you apply for a marriage license.
Las vegas also has problems. Because it sits in the desert, there is not enough water. Even though water is expensive, residents have not been careful in conserving water. Next, Las Vegas has serious air pollution problems. Las Vegas is surrounded by high mountains, some as high as 10,000 feet. These mountains hold in the pollution from the cars. At times, there are warnings not to exercise outdoors. Finally, as the city becomes larger, people are traveling father to work and the average commute (通勤) time has been increasing.
28. Which is one reason why Las Vegas receives the most new residents?
A. It is easy to own a house there. B. Its industry is highly developed.
C. It has low income tax. D. Its summer is cool.
29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. A blood test is unnecessary in the U. S to get married.
B. It is easy to find someone you love in Las Vegas.
C. It is quick to get a marriage license in Las Vegas.
D. The wedding party usually lasts one week in the U.S.
30.The underlined word"conserving "in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “______”.
A. heating B. saving C. wasting D. discovering
31. Why are people sometimes warned not to work out outdoors in Las Vegas?
A. Because of the dirty air.
B. Because of the busy traffic.
C. Because there are too many mountains.
D. Because people have to travel far to work.
D
What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? Most likely you blow it away. But what if that bug were a ladybug(瓢虫)? Then chances are you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?
Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good luck sign. A ladybug in the field meant that the crops would be successful and the weather would be good. The farmers may have been exaggerating(夸大) about what a very small bug can do, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.
Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats the other insects. It's the ladybug larvae(幼虫). Ladybugs lay their eggs on leaves that are covered with aphids or other insects. When the larvae come out of the eggs, they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealybugs, green flies, and other crop-destroyers.
A single ladybug larva can eat over 1,000 aphids in one day. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. The little red and black "eating machines" completely saved all the trees.
Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off something that is dangerous to eat. Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and remain very still until their enemy goes away.
So next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be up to. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to fall off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it's letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.
32. What do we know about mites and aphids？
A. They do harm to the crops.
B. They eat more than they should.
C. They are food for adult ladybugs.
D. They are the enemy of ladybug larvae.
33. Why were ladybugs brought from Australia to California in the 1800s?
A. To report the weather for farmers.
B. To increase their number.
C. To do research on them.
D. To save orange trees.
34 What does the author think of the ladybug？
A. It is a crop-destroyer.
B. It is a good luck sign.
C. It is a little flying helper.
D. It is a big eating machine.
35. This passage is probably taken from________.
A. A travel brochure
B. A nature magazine
C. An instruction book
D. A novel
