    Meyer has been crazy about writing since she was young. She got her first lesson in story-telling from     grandfather, who gave her words of love. He set off her imagination and influenced her much. Meyer always had stories running      her head and as soon as she could write, she put them down on paper.
    Meyer     remembered the call that changed her life. It was Tuesday, February 18th, when the      rang in the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. On the line was Marty Banderas, a literary agent (代理) to whom she had sent a copy of her novel three weeks earlier. She asked Meyer some    information, like age and health condition. Meyer felt      and asked what that was about. Banderas only replied, "I've just sold your      for one and a half million dollars!"
    She sat down in shock. She had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been      by publishers(出版商). Many people would have been discouraged (气馁的),     not her. Each time, she just got down to writing another one. Her husband advised her to find something else to do, but she never     . Seeing this book published was the most    thing that has ever happened to her.
    Now she is a     of three children, but she has never stopped      , turning out novels between kids and dishes. She is writing another novel now, and she expects another success. Yes, her belief (信仰) has brought her      , and it has changed her life    . Meyer is very confident that she will enjoy a more successful and meaningful life as long as she keeps on with her dream.

    If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and the same parents, but you have different personalities.

Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-born more responsibilityand depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first -born are often responsible, hard-working, and jealous. They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American Presidents, for example, George Bush, George Washington, andLyndon Baines Johnson-than second or last-born children.
    When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to competewith the first-born for the parents, attention and love. Their children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool.

    The idea of what shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, they would find he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian doesn’t like what they say. But in fact, they would be completely wrong.
    Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It doesn’t mean “No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or he will be in trouble.
    One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and asked an Indian to drive him. When he told his driver to take him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again and the driver shook his head again. At last the officer, of course, got angry.
    “How dare you refuse my order?” he shouted, “Drive me to my office at once!”
    The driver answered in quite a loud voice, too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.
    The car started and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, “‘No’ means ‘Yes’ here!”

    C．He went there to learn driving.D．He went there because of his job.
    小题4:Why did the officer get angry?
    A．Because the driver didn’t understand him.
    B．Because the driver still shook his head after he said again.
    C．Because the driver didn’t like the officer.
    D．Because the driver didn’t answer in a loud voice.

    When I was ten, my sisters and I were amazed at our neighbor’s Christmas tree. We returned home from their house and decided that we must have one of our own. In our house we never had enough money for a Christmas tree.
    In fact, we insisted so much that my father had no choice but to agree. “Yes!” he finally said.“This year we will have a Christmas tree.” Our mouths dropped open at the thought of having our own tree. Then Dad said,“I’ll do it myself.”
    We followed him around the house as he gathered up the materials he would need, We all sat close to him, carefully watching everything he did. He passed the thread around the first nail on the corner of a box, then back down to the second nail on the box, and up again to the nail, until right there before our eyes a green Christmas tree began to take shape. He carefully did the same with all of the 50 nails in the box and when he had finished, he said,“Now you can decorate it.”
    I don’t remember where the decorations came from, but they were red and small and to us they just looked so beautiful and perfect for our tree. When we finished decorating it, we proudly invited all our friends over to see our Christmas tree. We were so happy, not only because it looked so pretty, but because my father had made it himself. It truly was the most beautiful Christmas tree we had ever seen.
    Years later, things got better and Dad was able to buy a proper Christmas tree which we would happily decorate. However, my sisters and I will never forget the night when we got our first Christmas tree.

    Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.
    In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.
    To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.
    In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖质), which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.
    小题1:Where is the rubbish put after it is taken outside of city?
    A．On the mountainB．In the water
    C．In low placesD．In special places
    小题2:The main idea of the passage is_________.
    A．to let us know taking away rubbish is a big job
    B．to explain the need for rubbish collection
    C．to introduce different ways to treat rubbish
    D．to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish
    小题3:The underlined word "sewage" in the passage means_________.
    A．排污B．染色
    C．洗涤D．吸尘
    小题4:According to the passage, the food parts of rubbish can be used again_________.
    A．to feed animalsB．to feed plants
    C．to build a houseD．to make machines
    小题5:How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage?
    A．By burning it off.
    B．By putting it in water.
    C．By throwing it away.
    D．By reusing and recycling it.

    阅读下列短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格，每空一词。
    Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
    Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
    Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
    Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
    Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.
    Title: How to make a    1  speech
    Technique
    		Reasons
    		Requirements
    Keep it simple
    		You should think about your idea well enough
    		   3  one or two of your main ideas well.
    If you have a    2  idea of what you want to say, your audience will have, too.
    Organize it well.
    		You should get your speech well    4 
    		Know very well about the
       6 ,main points and ending of the speech
    If you don’t, the    5 will be confused.
    Keep it   7 
    		Your speech should be short enough to attract your audience’s attention and   8 .
    		Make your speech as short as 10 .
    If you don’t, the audience will feel    9 .
