    Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young．She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star．“I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,”she says．“I used to wear them to watch TV．”
    Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt．The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”．It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights．Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest．But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must．
    Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street．Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s．As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies．In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwoo d in The Blue Brothers．Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun．Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black．
    Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement．The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation．UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully．But you don’t have to give up style for safety．The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge．So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach．

    Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
    "Can we write him a letter?"
    She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
    My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
    "No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
    "Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
    She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
    "Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
    The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
    Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend (超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditar. I prayed to be a balloon.

    "But Ijust paid 1．69 for this bottle of wine last week．How is it that the price is 2.25?"
    There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise．All haveto do with the supply and demand factors of economics．
    The first factor is that people are drinking more wine than ever before．This demand formore wine has increased wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year．
    The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which meansthat the same number of bottles is produced each year．Wine producers are trying to open upnew land to grow more grapes．But in at least three wine producing areas of the world-France,Germany, and California --- new vineyards（葡萄园）will not be useable in the near future．Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal, as well as Argentine,Australia, Austria, and Chile．And these wines will be seen more often on the American market．But none of these countries will be able to fill the good wines．
    The third factor is that costs of wine production are soaring．The workers who make wineare asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming moreexpensive．
    When the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up．When productioncosts, meaning the price of labor and machinery rise, the producer adds this increase to theprice of the wine．For these reasons, that bottle of wine now costs 2．25 instead of 1．69．
    小题1:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Every year people drink more wine．
    B．Countries won't be able to fill the demand for good wines．
    C．The prices of things go up when the demand for them is greater than the supply．
    D．The supply of wine will always be less than demand．

    B．persuade people drink more beer
    C．explain why the price of wine is rising
    D．describe why wine is a favorite drink to many Americans

    A morning rarely began so perfect. I took in the fresh air and felt my heart run into an enthusiastic rhythm. Though cool, the sun warmed my back as it rose over the horse from not far from my house. The slightest wind danced on my skin. Just enough to keep a runner form overheating. My ever-faithful jogging partner, a black dog named Nika pulled my leg with her mouth, mirroring my eagerness to start our run.
    We raced forward with determination, ready to leap tall buildings and race against speeding trains. We pushed harder and ran faster, demonstration our skill and impressing passing motorists and neighbors.
    We kept on running until we hit the Beast, a name for a very difficult, nearly two-mile long steep climb.
    Only a few paces into the Beast, I gasped for air. Far short of superhero status, my enthusiasm and active steps were lost somewhere at the base of the hill. A vision of the newspaper and a cup of coffee waiting in my kitchen appeared, attracting me to turn back toward home.
    With a glance I noticed Nika wasn’t doing any better. She continued to faithfully follow me, putting one paw in front of the other, but without her former eagerness. Her tiredness touched me. And in that moment, I felt a sudden spark of renewed determination to press on. I couldn’t allow this mountain to get the better of us. To improve both our spirits, I managed to shout, “Good girl, Nika! Keep going…you can do it!”
    “I’m encouraging a dog, for heaven’s sake!’’ I needed to pull myself together. With a few simple words, I changed our course. One moment we were on the edge of quitting. The next, our feet picked up the pace and we continued. Though tired and discouraged myself, with a few kind words I impacted a dog’s ability to go further. I’m sure I could have completed the opposite with ill-chosen comments and an unpleasant tone. Instead, the Beast was defeated and we flew like heroes the rest of the way home.
    Life is full of beasts to conquer. For some, it is the seemingly impossible climb of cancer. For others, their beast takes the shape of parenting a child or a teenager. Uphill climbs come in all shapes and sizes, common only in their ability to defeat, discourage and tempt tired travelers to quit. Sometimes all that’s needed is a few spoken, well-timed words of encouragement from a fellow runner – someone who sees the struggle, dares to jogs alongside, and cares enough to say, “Keep going! You can do it! You’re not alone. I believe in you!”
    小题1: The writer starts the text by describing________.
    A．the beautiful scene of the morning
    B．his or her preparations for a jogging
    C．a lively dog named Nika
    D．the growth of crops at the farm
    小题2: The writer mentioned the newspaper and coffee to suggest that he or she _______.
    A．liked reading newspapers while drinking coffee
    B．had an intention to give up running
    C．would treat himself or herself to coffee after running
    D．might appear on the newspaper for the long running
    小题3: The writer decided to continue running _______.
    A．after he or she found the dog was still energetic
    B．because they came near the top of the hill
    C．when he or she noticed the tired dog
    D．before they arrived at the bottom of the hill
    小题4: What does the writer expect to show by telling the story?
    A．Words are powerful than deeds.
    B．Beasts in life aren’t easily to conquer.
    C．Dogs are the best friend of humans.
    D．Try it one more time before giving up.

    To son, Cecil,
    Just a quick note before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖主义). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.

    Sooner or later, many families will face the situation of moving. The experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and may not understand it. You can take steps to make the whole process (过程) easier for everyone.
    Many kids like to stay in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits (好处) of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact.
    The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you’re not happy about the move, try to keep a positive (积极的) attitude to it. During the move, a parent’s attitude can greatly influence kids.
    No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house-hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it’s being forced (被迫) on them. If you’re moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and the new neighborhood.
    A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together.
    小题1:According to the text, a move can be a bad experience for kids because ________.
    A．they may feel they’re forced to do soB．they often feel lonely in a new school
    C．they don’t like their busy parentsD．they are tired of the moving process
    小题2:In which situation does the author advise to put off a move?
    A．The child’s birthday is coming.B．A family member has died.
    C．The new neighborhood isn’t safe.D．The parents have money problems.
    小题3:Which is the most important when making the move easier for children?
    A．Allowing them to choose a school by themselves.
    B．Trying not to show them the bad parts of a move.
    C．Offering them as much information as possible.
    D．Promising to choose a new house with them.
    小题4:The author wrote this text mainly to tell us ________.
    A．what we should do before a move
    B．how to prepare children for a move
    C．how a move can change the family
    D．why parents should talk to children often
