Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.
    Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.
    To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

    Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana.  Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests.  They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.
    Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem.  Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute!  As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America.  They paid $25 per acre.  The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.
    So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river.  They saw alligators and crocodiles.  In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest.  “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.  They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at e us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.
    Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture.  During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities.  They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.
    Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

    A．$25B．$75C．$80D．$2000

    A．They went into the rain forest.B．They bought acres of rain forest.
    C．They took a boat ride down a river.D．They visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.
    小题3:The word “Destruction” in paragraph 2 probably means “the process of being ______.”
    A．destroyedB．developedC．describedD．discovered.
    小题4: When the monkeys saw Myers and his students, they ___________.
    A．felt excitedB．felt angryC．jumped off the treesD．left the rain forest
    小题5:The passage mainly shows that Myers and his students __________.

    It was a cold winter afternoon before Christmas. My parents and I sat on the bench in Washington, D.C.’Union Station, waiting for the train. Inside the waiting hall were many people.
    A boy sat nearby. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless.
    “He must be cold and hungry. Maybe I should help him,” I said to myself.
    Just at that moment, a well-dressed young couple walked towards him.
    “Excuse me,” the man bent down. “My wife and I bought two meal boxes but one was enough for us. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” he handed the boy a meal box.
    The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped. In the direction to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags-in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall.
    Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood and helped the old to his seat. He took off his jacket and covered it on the old man’s shoulders, saying, “A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. I hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?” He placed the still-warm meal box in the old man’s hands without waiting for an answer.
    “Sure, son, but if only you share that sandwich with me. It’s too much for a man at my age. ”
    We were all touched. Dad went away and soon returned with cups of hot chocolate and a big pizza. Mum and dad went up to those rags, “Excuse me…”
