Sweat ran its way down my cheeks. It was hot, but the air was still and wet. One final play and the State Softball Championship was ours.
I looked towards people who were watching the game. Sure enough, I found my mom. I always hoped my dad were here. The farm needed his full attention, but I did not care.
Finally, we won! State Champs! I let out a scream of happiness, full of tears. My mom made a “V” to celebrate my success and smiled. I smiled back at her.
We all received medals, but I cannot remember any of it. I concentrated my thoughts on my dad. I ran to my mom, asking for her cellphone. I had to tell my dad about the happiest day of my life, and complained (抱怨) about how he did not care.
The phone rang twice, and no one answered. My heart sank, but I tried again anyway.
“Hello?” answered my dad.
“Dad!” I cried. “We won State!” Silence.
“Dad?” I could hear something on the other end. “Are you—crying?”
“I'm just really happy for you, Meggie,” he said. “And I'm sorry I couldn't be there.”
An apology was all I needed. I hung up the phone feeling relaxed, and I began to understand how it must feel to be a father. I forgave him for never being there. He worked so I could play. My father loved me enough to let me experience life's happiest moments without him.

Are you looking for an exercise program that's easy to learn, wants little or no equipment, and relaxes your mind while building your body? If so, please keep reading to learn more about yoga (瑜伽).
Yoga seems like a hot new trend, but yoga actually began more than 3,000 years ago in India. The word yoga means “to unite mind, body and spirit”. Although yoga includes physical exercise, it is also a lifestyle of which exercise is just a part. Training your mind, body, and breath, as well as connecting with your spirituality (精神) are the main goals of the yoga lifestyle. Yoga has lots of benefits. It can improve strength, balance and patience. In addition, many people who practice yoga say that it reduces anxiety and stress, and even helps them sleep better.
Many gyms and community centers offer yoga classes. Your neighborhood may also have a yoga training center. Some yoga teachers offer private classes for students who want more professional training. You could also try using a yoga DVD. Websites, DVDs and books can't compare to learning yoga from a teacher, but they can help you find out more. They can be especially helpful if you have already taken yoga classes and want to practice at home.
Dress comfortably in clothing that allows you to move your body fully. Shorts or pants and a T-shirt or tank top are best. Yoga is practiced bare foot, so you don't have to worry about special shoes.
Before you begin any type of exercise program, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor, especially if you have a health problem.
5.From the passage we can learn many facts about yoga EXCEPT ________.
A.it's easy to learn
B.it needs little or no equipment
C.it can build your body and relax your mind

All of us spend a large part of our lives at home—eating, sleeping, relaxing and communicating with our family members. Our home is a shelter for us, away from the noisy, busy, and polluted world outside—a place where we can let our hair down and dress casually. Eco-friendliness (环保) is a hot word today and we all know we should make our environment as eco-friendly as possible. This is not only good for our health, but also good for the outward environment. Here are some easy and helpful tips to make your home eco-friendly.
Kitchen
Plan the kitchen to be bright and airy so that you don't have to turn on the lights in the daytime. Don't make wasteful use of the gas. Keep all ingredients for cooking ready before lighting the gas. Turn it to “low” when not required—always using it on “high” burns a lot of gas.
Indoor plants
Plants are extremely eco-friendly and can be used to make your home look lively. Apart from adding life to home, they give out O2, thus making the air inside fresh. You can keep plants in your home, but be sure to show them some sunlight regularly. Also, if they are kept outside, clean their leaves with a wet cloth, as dust may be added to them. A home decorated (装饰) with plants looks attractive. Plants are a natural home decorating gift that shows concern about the environment. A green plant is a wonderful gift which will protect the earth and is sure to be appreciated.
Saving water
Most of the time, we_take_water_for_granted—we keep the water running while brushing our teeth or washing clothes. Needless to say, this is a huge waste of natural resources (资源). Try to recycle water. For example, the water used for washing vegetables can be used for watering plants; the soapy water used for washing clothes can be used to clean the bathroom and kitchen.
9.Why is the importance of our home discussed in Paragraph 1?
A.To advise us to communicate more with our family members.
B.To show it's necessary to make our home eco-friendly.
C.To advise us to spend more time staying at home.
D.To show the outside world is noisy and polluted.
10.What is advised to be done in the kitchen?
A.To open the window.
B.To prepare simple meals.
C.To save energy.
D.To turn down lights.
11.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.We don't realize the importance of water.
B.We try our best not to waste water.
C.We don't use water frequently.
D.We make full use of water.
12.Which could be the best title for the text?
A.Live a Relaxing Life.
B.Create a Clean and Safe Home.
C.Our Home Is a Shelter for Us.
D.Make Your Home Eco-friendly.

How to Sleep Better
If you're having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.
1. Get up on time. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb (干扰) your sleep quality. __1__ For example, if you normally wake up at 6 a.m. on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 p.m., because that's when you start to feel sleepy, and it's also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 a.m., you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m..
2. __2__ Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion (消化) slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt (打搅) sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns (模式).
3. __3__ Exposure (暴露) to light during the time when you're supposed to be sleeping can disrupt (扰乱) your body's internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim night light. __4__ They include windows, LED clocks, computer lights and cable boxes.
4. Change your sleeping position. You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you don't fully understand what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a big difference. __5__
A.Try to avoid all sources of light.
B.Keep the room as dark as possible.
C.Make note of unusual circumstances (状况).
D.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.
E.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F.In other words, sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological (生物的) clock”.
G.If you wake up in the middle of the night, make an effort to have a comfortable position.

Twenty?five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame (名声) and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B.The Internet is influencing young Britons' career choice.
C.The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D.Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet.
2.Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?
A.Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B.There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C.The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D.Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
3.What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A.Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B.A vlogger cannot earn fame and fortune.
C.People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D.Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
4.What do young people like David do on the Internet?
A.Learn from others. B.Become an online hit.
C.Hold running races. D.Mix jobs with hobbies.
Ⅱ.七选五

__3__ You can watch games on video sites. They can be exciting to watch. Sometimes online viewers can interact with the game. For example, some games rename characters in the game with the names of online viewers.
But are esports really sports? Are players athletes? Some say no. __4__ At the moment, the UK government classifies esports as kinds of games, not as sports.
But others say yes: esports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination (协调) and timing. Snooker (斯诺克台球) and shooting are classified as sports. __5__ In fact, the governments of China and ROK do classify esports as sports.
A.Then perhaps esports should be, too.

C.Instead, it has great influence on their health.

Teenagers' fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.”
Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.
According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to active teenagers.
Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.
1.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Active people always have a high fitness level.
B.Overweight people always take more exercise.
C.Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.
D.Keeping fit means changing teenagers' lifestyle.
2.What kind of exercise can you do in order to prevent injuries?
A.Walking. B.Stretching and bending.
C.Riding. D.Weight-training.
3.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Doing Exercise B.Teenagers' Fitness
C.Different Lifestyles D.Overweight Teenagers

Ⅰ.阅读
The other day, I read a news report that an athlete consumed steroids (类固醇) in order to perform better at a sports event. I was really surprised. To be honest, I really loved that athlete before the news report. But after I learned he consumed steroids, I no longer liked him.
Athletes that are in sports should not be allowed to consume steroids. Or if they are consuming steroids they should not be allowed to play sports. When athletes use steroids, they have the advantage of many things. For example, they have the advantage of doing better when doing their plays or when they are against their opponents (对手). Let's say that two athletes are competing, one does consume steroids and the other doesn't, who will win? It will more than likely be the athlete consuming steroids. This would be because steroids make people stronger and more energetic.
Steroid use should be avoided not only because it gives disadvantage to other athletes but also because it destroys the human body. Consuming steroids does not greatly change your body immediately. It does make you look built and strong, but its damages to your body will appear gradually.
In my opinion, steroids are not a good thing when it comes to sports. Steroids will not only be a disadvantage to those athletes who do not consume them but they will also have long-term negative effects on the human body. If an athlete was consuming steroids and had a great performance and later on the news found out that he was consuming steroids, it could affect the athlete's career. Most of the fans will think that the athlete has a bad reputation and the athlete can even get kicked off the team.
1.What surprised the author?
A.The athlete consumed steroids.
B.People stopped liking that athlete.
C.The news report lied about the athlete.
D.The athlete performed better than before.
2.According to the text, if an athlete consumes steroids, ______.
A.he may look very strange
B.it is unfair to his opponents
C.he may perform worse than before
D.it is harmful to him in the short run
3.In the author's opinion, steroid use ________.
A.isn't always a bad thing
B.is popular among athletes
C.is supported by some fans
D.may destroy the athlete's career
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Why some athletes consume steroids.
B.Why athletes should not consume steroids.
C.Why steroids are harmful to the human body.
D.Why some athletes perform better than others.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was sociology (社会学). The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after we were given the project,_my husband,_youngest son,_and I went out to McDonald's one cold March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move a bit...a strong feeling of fear welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman,_close to me, he was “smiling”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance.
He said, “Good day!” as he counted the few coins he had been holding. The second man was obviously mentally disabled. I held back my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm.).
Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
