A
My wife Hilary andI were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we saw a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!\" An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. Thebear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod(三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew 1 would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards-the forest,before returning for another attack the first time I felt panic.
Obviously satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome. 1. How did the writer feel when faced with the brown bear? A. Fearful but confident. B. Nervous but brave. C. Upset but determined. D. Awful but hopeful. 2. The bear finally went away after it
A. got injured B. felt safe
C. found some food D. took away the camera 3. What does the author want to tell us? A. We should keep calm when troubles come
B. We should rise to the challenge when faced with difficulties. C. We should not risk ourselves in some dangerous areas.
D. We should learn to take advantage of anything at hand when in trouble.

It was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove fromOntariointoAlberta,
then
southward
intoGlacierNational
ParkinMontana,
and
continued
toYellowstoneNational Park.
It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.
There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.
I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him. 4. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip? A. It was taken by train to the west. B. It was a suggestion from their friends. C. It was in the late autumn five years ago. D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.
5. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture? A. He could have lost the camera.
B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there. C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.
D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures. 6. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle? A. Kind and straightforward. B. Rich and generous. C. Creative and capable. D. Careful and admirable. 7. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. Seeing is believing.
C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
D. The longest journey begins with the first step.

I’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.
For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.
In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.
So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.
They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服).
She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and
lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
8. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”. A. attracted me B. surprised me C. accepted me D. refused me 9. What does the house really mean to the author? A. A house. B. Buildings. C. An object. D. Memories. 10. What surprised the friends I know after work? A. Finding the wall repainted. B. Erasing the fingerprints. C. Greeting them by tears. D. Leaving the wall unfinished. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Gift Made with Love B. Buildings Made by Children C. A Very Wonderful Painting D. A Family History

Being a teacher is a rewarding career when it comes to changing lives, but it’s obviously one that comes with plenty of stresses and difficulties too.
Seeking help for a child who is so obviously in need isn’t easy. Often, you feel ignored by the government. You feel upset that there isn’t anything you could personally do to help a needy and sensitive member of your class.
That’s exactly how Chelsea Haley, aged 24 at the time, felt when she met fourth-grade student Jerome Robinson while working for Teach forAmericainLouisianafor the first time.

AsChelsealived with her two adopted sons, she worked hard to repay her debts. She took on extra tutoring jobs outside of school hours, moved in with her parents, and even delivered groceries for cash. Along the way, she was learning how to be the best mom to Jerome and Jace, cooking for them and cheering them on at football matches.
And now, just five years later,Chelseacan proudly say that she has paid off nearly $50, 000 of debt. Now that she’s finally out of debt,Chelseahas plans to buy a house and save up for the boys’ college education.
“It allows me to focus on the boys’ future,” she said. “Saving money for them, and not spending it on my past.”
12. What do we know from paragraph 4? A. Jerome’s family was less fortunate. B. The brothers were in the same class. C. When helping Jerome,Chelseafelt hopeless.
D.Chelseagot along well with Jerome from the very start. 13. What didChelseado to pay off her debts?

How are you? As a exchange student, I’m writing to tell you I’d prefer to move into a single room in next term. I find it inconvenient to share a room with other. My roommate often held parties at night, made much noise. Besides, his friends are always visiting him, which disturbs me a lot. So I hope to draw you attention to this
