      Not many years ago， a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy-five， he gave ￡ 12，000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.
    As a result of his kindness， many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk， Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy—five. Johnson had a sense of humor.  He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection （注射） in my neck each evening.” he told the newspaperman， thinking of his evening glass of whisky.
    The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain， asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

    With knees shaking, I walked up. For a moment I stood  48 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way through!
    Afterwards, Professor Crouch congratulated me, and  49  me to read other writers’ poems before the public.

    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从下列各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    Many people of my generation(代，一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that 11  people behave today.
    Their first argument（论点） is that when we were young we used to look after the  12  people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t  13  about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no 14  . People had to live with their  15  and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more  16   to live where they want.
    Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect （盼望，期待）to be given jobs -----and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain（抱怨） about  17   . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts（关系）. It is really   18 today.
    In conclusion I think there is hope for the  19  . This generation, like generations before them, has new  20  as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

    As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
    Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
    Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
    In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
    You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
    As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

    Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own。We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies Beyond our everyday lives.
    This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists（幻想）literature or movies like the lord of the rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other，to the world around us ,and to the world of make-believe.but have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
    Human beings，as biologists have suggested，possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms，However, people，especially in big eities，often lead rather isolated lives，In a study of  British schoolchildren，it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than common wildlife.without modem technology，a small Pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants，insects，birds，and animals 。when we lack meaning（交互）with the world around us,and somethings even with our families and friends，we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
    The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad,but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet（出路）for our sense of wonder，then we are really missing something，we are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful wonderful worlds exist all around us.but even more interesting is that if we look closely enough，we can see that these worlds,in a broad sense,are really part of our own.
    小题1:The popularity of the lord of the rings.proves       
    A．the close connection between man and the fantasy world
    B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
    C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
    D．the general existence of the sense of curiosity
    小题2:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
    A．people are far less familiar witn the world of fantasy
    B．the world around us could serve as a source of wonder
    C．the world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.
    D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder
    小题3:If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe,we will       
    A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
    B．be confused by the world of make-believe
    C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
    D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
    小题4:What is the main purpose of the passage?
    A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world.
    B．to warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.
    C．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.
    D．To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.

    Dr. Marie Curie is known to the world as the scientist who discovered radioactive metals i.e. Radium and Polonium.
    Marie Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements and studied the x-rays they emitted. She found that the harmful properties of x-rays were able to kill tumors. By the end of World War I, Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world. She had made a conscious decision, however, not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications.
    Marie Curie was born on November 7, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4, 1934. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize for Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time for chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radium's atomic weight.
    As a child, Marie Curie amazed people with her great memory. She learned to read when she was only four years old. Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie. She dreamed of becoming a scientist, but that would not be easy.
