It’s Really a Miracle (奇迹)
Mr. Clarke works in New York and he brought his family to China last summer. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for New York, the Clarkes climbed the Great Wall. It was the greatest project over two thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car. And when they returned to the hotel, they couldn’t find the bag in which their expensive camera was. They were all sorry for it. They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great Wall again. They could not miss the plane!
That evening they didn’t have supper. Mr. Clarke hoped to make them happy, so he said, “Well, let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-storey building. One day he fell down from it when he was cleaning the window. But he didn’t hurt himself.”
“It was a miracle!” called out his children, “Why?”
“Because he lived on the first floor!”

“My dream has come true. I have always wanted to be a Grand Slam (大满贯) champion.” These are the words of Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam final in the French Open on June 4, 2011.
“People were saying I’m getting old. So this is a great success for such an old woman,” the 29-year-old girl joked.
Miss Li has a tattoo (纹身). She has dyed her hair many different colors. And, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she told her fans to “shut up” when they got too noisy in their support.
Li Na was born in Wuhan, she started to play tennis at the age of 6. She once recalled: “As a child, I felt sad because every day I had to wake up early to practice. After school I had to practice more. I didn’t have time to play.”
Luckily, the strong girl didn’t give up, thus making history for Chinese tennis time after time.
Now the new champion is already thinking about winning another Grand Slam title. “When you have one title, surely you will think about another,” she says, not hiding her ambition (雄心).
“Chinese people are so lacking (缺乏) in confidence on the tennis court. If there is a person like me who can prove we Chinese can do it, the other young players in China will feel the same,” she said.

Donald was not very good at math. He could not understand the teacher’s explanations(解释). Even when the teacher explained something a second time, Donald still could not understand it. “Never mind,” Donald told himself. “I am quite good at other subjects.

It’s difficult for me to decide who to give the prize to, however, because two students, Donald and Brian, got the same grade.”
“Let them share it,” one of the other students said.
“I thought about that,” the teacher said, “but I decided to give the prize to Brian.” Donald was angry when he heard this. He stood up and said. “That’s not fair.

This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my        , and I had been afraid to do so for a long time.
Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready,         ?”
“ Yes.” I answered quietly.         in fact I wasn’t ready!
On my way          school, I could feel my heart beating. I hated this!
I went into Mrs. Owens’ class. She was smiling, and saying        to all her students as she did every morning.

She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his         ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam,          did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”
I thought about the fun things I         about surfing before, and I started to talk. I talked and talked        the whole class, and I was not nervous at all. It was great fun. It wasn’t frightening. The class cheered as I finished and Mrs. Owens was         .

Mr. Green owned a few shops and was busy with his work. Once his wife had a fall and broke her leg. She was sent to the hospital and needed someone to look after her. They had several servants, but none of them could do the job. One of his friends brought a girl to Mr. Green. She looked beautiful and strong.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)
When I was sixteen, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand French. I believed that I wouldn’t have any       problems when I went to America. So I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday there.
How          I was! The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to call my friend Danny who had been in America for two years and told her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking confused and asked if he could          me.
“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married ? But aren’t you a bit too       ?”
“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me          the phone box is?”
“Oh! I see. ” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.”
When Danny and I met up, she explained the misunderstanding to me.
“Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say         . Most of the time British and American people understand each other!
