    Henry works in a factory. He comes from a poor family and was in school for only four years. He has to do the hard work, but he is paid less. He likes to watch football matches very much and spends much time on them.
    One afternoon there was a big football match on the playground. He borrowed some money from his friend and hurried there. There were a lot of people there. And all the tickets were sold out. He was sorry for it. He saw a pole outside the playground and climbed it quickly. A policeman came and said, “It is dangerous to stay on it! Come down!”
    “Wait a minute, please!” Henry said and just at that moment the policeman heard cheers on the playground and asked in a hurry, “which team has kicked a goal?” “Ours!” “Wonderful! You can stay there. But take care!”  The policeman said happily and left. When the match would be soon over, he came back again and asked, “who has won?” “Theirs, 3:2.”  “Come down,” the policeman said angrily. “ Such a match is not worth watching!”

    I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
    Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
    The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed (崩溃) and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance（确信） that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
    It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.
    All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

    JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, has signed a deal with Little, Brown and Company, to publish her first ever novel for adults, which is set to become one of the most anticipated (期望的) book in years.
    The deal means that Rowling’s long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched (发行) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author.
    Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from children’s to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step.
    She said, "Although I've enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me."
    Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city, suggested Rowling’s book will be a crime novel.
    "Wouldn’t it be funny if JK Rowling’s first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh?" he said.
    Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than ￡5 million and the new book is expected to come out later this year.
    A spokesman said, "JK Rowling’s audience is vast and her position is unique. Harry Potter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight, nine, or ten when the books first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults, loved the books regardless of whether they had children, so the potential market for her is huge."
    小题1:What does the text mainly tell us?
    A．JK Rowling has signed a deal with a new publisher.
    B．JK Rowling's new book will be more successful than her Harry Potter series.
    C．JK Rowling’s first book for adults will be published later this year.
    D．JK Rowling has to switch to a new publisher in order to publish her new book.
    小题2:JK Rowling’s new book for adults       .
    A．has been sold 30 million copies in the UK alone
    B．is poorly thought of by the London-based publisher Bloomsbury
    C．has nothing in common with the Harry Potter series
    D．is expected to bring her more money than the Harry Potter series
    小题3:The author used Ian Rankin’s words in order to         .
    A．tell us that some famous novelists offer to give Rowling some advice
    B．show that many readers are curious about Rowling’s new book
    C．tell us that many readers prefer to read detective or crime novels
    D．prove that a crime story set in Edinburgh is sure to be successful
    小题4:We can learn from the text that         .
    A．Little, Brown and Company is specialized in publishing adult books
    B．the author has no doubt about the success of Rowling’s new book
    C．JK Rowling will be a crime novelist as good as Ian Rankin
    D．it was in Edinburgh that Ian Rankin got to know JK Rowling

    He was born in San Francisco, California in 1874. He lived in California during his early childhood. He was named after the chief Southern general in America’s Civil War. The general’s name was Robert Edward Lee. The poet was named Robert Lee Frost, because his father wanted to honor the general.

He was not a successful farmer. And he continued to write poetry. He said that until 1930, he earned only about ten dollars a year from writing.
    In 1912, he decided to try to make a new start. He took his family to Britain. The cost of living was low. In Britain, Frost found a publisher for his first book of poems. The book was called A Boy’s Will. When it appeared in 1913, Frost received high praise from British readers. Praise was something he had not received in his own country.
    Ezra Pound, another American poet living in Britain, read the poems and liked them very much. He wrote a magazine article about Frost. He also helped get Frost’s second book of poems published in America. That book was called North of Boston.

    GU Zhaodi, 60, had taken water for granted for years. In fact, no one in the beautiful lake city of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province had bothered to spare a thought on water.
    But all that changed dramatically overnight last month when taps in the city ran dry. Due to a blue-green algae(藻类) outbreak in Taihu Lake, China’s third largest freshwater lake and the source of drinking water for 4 million Wuxi residents(居民), water from the city’s taps became dark and smelly.
    “I can’t believe there is no water for drinking, let alone cooking and washing,”said Ｇu.
    The lake was blanketed with the algae, giving off a strong smell of rotting meat. A stone thrown into it took a long time to sink. Experts said that algae usually boom because of hot water and rich chemicals like phosphor(磷)in the water.
    “High temperature and a lack of rain in the past few months helped the growth of algae,”said Zhang Lijun, an official from the State Environment Protection Administration. “However, pollution from human activity should be most blamed for the disaster.”
    Taihu Lake is surrounded by many small factories, whichsprang up in the 1980s.Inthe 1990s,many foreign-funded(外资的) companies joined in. The industries prospered(繁荣)，Wuxi has grown into one of the wealthiest cities in East China.
    But that came at the price of pollution. The lake was treated like a waste dump(垃圾堆)，with factories emptying industrial waste and untreated sewage(污水)into it.
    Although, after the government's effort, life in the city has gone back to normal, the one-week crisis（危机）rang a bell for the government and local people.“It's time to rebuild the beauty of nature, or our lives will be at risk,”said Gu.
    “A safe environment comes first. Economic growth will be nothing without fresh water to drink and clean air to breathe.” said China Daily.
    小题1:The following can help the blue green algae grow______
    A．high water temperature
    B．rich chemicals in the water
    C．a lack of rain
    D．plentiful water and sunshine
    小题2:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．The one-week disaster has made the local people realize the importance of building a
    beautiful city.
    B．It is human activity rather than the algae that is to blame for the water pollution.
    C．Only when the environment is safe and friendly can man live a better and healthier life.
    D．Environment should be taken into consideration first if a city plans to develop its economic.
    小题3:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
    A．Who is to blame, man or algae?
    B．Water turned off
    C．Water pollution troubled Wuxi
    D．Algae threatened Taihu Lake
    小题4:According to the passage ,Taihu Lake________
    A．is the third largest lake in China.
    B．is surrounded by many foreign-funded factories and companies.
    C．used to be a waste dump.
    D．suffered from industrial waste，untreated sewage and algae.

    At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.
    “You may wonder, Sir Percival,” said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released（免除）from my promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father’s wishes too much.”
    His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.
    “No, if we are going to withdraw（退出）from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. ”
    “Mine?” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing?”
    “A reason that is very hard to tell you,” she answered. “There is a change in me.”
    His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.
    “What change?” he asked, trying to appear calm.
    “When the promise was made two years ago”, she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”
    “I wish you to understand”, Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”
    “I will do both those things,” he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.
    “I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,” she added quietly.
    “No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you,” he said.
    小题1:How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?
