I'm the type of guy who believes you can achieve anything you set your mind to, if you give it your all and don't give up.       , when I decided to write a novel, it didn't matter to me that I had never done anything like that before. What did matter to me was that I had a great story in my head, a story that needed to be     .
What I thought would take a couple of months or a couple of years. After five months of writing, I at last       the "finish line" - that magical day when you type "THE END". Okay, so I wrote a manuscript（手稿）.The first thing I did was to copy it, followed by sending it out to all of my friends who     a lot, to get creative criticism（批評）．And then it was back to rewriting the story. Next, I hired a professional（專業(yè)人員），who gave me great      ，which meant more rewriting. I soon learned a lesson in writing - writing is rewriting. There would always be      for improvement.
I had rewritten the manuscript time and time again for two years, and in the process, I learned      to write. Looking back, I had no idea how long it was going to take or how hard it was going to be. Writing the manuscript was the easy part, while going on the way to write a        book was the hard part.
Pursuing（追求）my dreams has made all the difference. Life is a journey. I can't see what       ahead, but I know one thing for sure: when I look       I see the things that I've achieved and I smile with pride.

During my second year of nursing school, our teacher gave us an exam. I was a hardworking student and I did well in all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”
Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But how would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I stared at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.
Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade.
“Certainly,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.”
I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most important lesson of my life. I also learned the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.
小題1:At the nursing school, the writer        .
A. know everyone’s name around her 
B. did well in all subjects 
C.didn’t like to have an exam
小題2:The writer wrote         to the last question.
A. “Dorothy”                     B. “blank”              C. nothing
小題3:From the teacher’s words, we can know that         .
A. only one student didn’t know the answer          
B. the last question was part of the exam
C. the students needn’t answer the last question
小題4:The writer thought that         .
A. the exam gave her a lesson    
B. the teacher was joking    
C.the clean lady was important.
小題5:The teacher wanted the students to know that they should         through the last question.

Sometimes people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese),grains (like bread and rice), fruit and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.
As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.
Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat in the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.
Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.
小題1:What is the USDA in the passage?
A．A group of doctors in the US.
B．An office of the US government.
C．A report on diseases in the US.
D．An order given by the US President.
小題2:What does the underlined word “result” mean in Chinese?
A．結(jié)果B．論文C．儀器D．程序
小題3:The second paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A．Japanese are always healthier than Americans
B．living in the US is not good for people’s health
C．if you eat too much fat you will have cancer
D．the way we eat may cause some health problems
小題4:The greatest help the passage gives us is __________.
A．to introduce a food guide to the world
B．to suggest a way of eating for a healthy life
C．to find the main cause of some serious diseases
D．to provide us with knowledge of six food groups

閱讀短文，并按要求完成題。
“Hello” is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unlucky, because saying hello is more than just saying hello. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? ①I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
* It can make the students more active. In a study on this subject, Allan Smith, an assistant professor, had middle school teachers greet their students individually (個別的) each morning. And the whole day, the students behaved actively because of this exchange of greetings. School went from impersonal to personal and that caused more class participation (合作) and better grades.
* Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. ②And researchers think pleasant environments can encourage more smiles and hellos. For example, people in vacation spots were much more friendly than those hurrying to work downtown.
* It improves people’s health. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress and bring happiness. Obviously, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).
So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of happiness.

It’s possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick, if you follow the instructions, you will find it’s really interesting.
First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Jin Shang Road, you would write down 73. After you write down your house address number, you double it. Then add 5 to this doubled number. For example, if your address is 73 and you double it, you will get 146. Then you add 5, you will get 151.
And then, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, you’ll get 7550. The next step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you’re 16 years old, you should add 16 to this total. In our example here, the result will be 7566.
After that, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7566 is 7931.
The final step is this: Subtract 615 from the number that you have. Take away 615 from the total. In our example, 7931 minus 615 is 7316.
The result here—7316—is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73 is the address that we started with, and 16 is the age that we used.
Isn’t it interesting? Do you want to have a try now?
小題1:How many steps are there in the trick?
A. Four                          B. Seven                    C. Nine
小題2:The third step is ______.     
A. ＋5                           B. ×50                          C.－615
小題3:Tom is 38, he lives in 89 Jin Shang Road. If he plays this trick, he will get______ in the end.
A. 3889                         B. 9150                          C. 8938
小題4:When you play this trick, ______ is Not the number you have to use every time.
A. 50                          B.73                        C. 365  
小題5:The best title of this passage is “______”.    
A. A trick with numbers          B. An interesting problem        C. How to work out a trick
