         One day, a young man was cleaning out his late grandfather's belongings when he came across a bright
    red envelope. Written on the front were the words, "To my grandson." Recognizing his grandfather's
    handwriting, the young man opened the envelope. A letter inside read:
    Dear Ronny,
         Years ago you came to me for help. You said, "Grandpa, how is it that you've accomplished so much in
    your life? You're still full of energy, and I'm already tired of struggling. How can I get the same enthusiasm
    that you've got?"
         I didn't know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are numbered, I figure that I owe you an
    answer. So here is what I believe.
         I think a lot of it has to do with how a person looks at things. I call it "keeping your eyes wide open".
         First, realize that life is filled with surprises, but many are good ones. If you don't keep watching for
    them, you'll miss half the excitement. Expect to be thrilled once in a while, and you will be.
         When you meet up with challenges, welcome them. They'll leave you wiser, stronger, and more capable
    than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be grateful for the things it taught you. Resolve to
    use that lesson to help you reach your goals.
         And always follow the rules. Even the little ones. When you follow the rules, life works. If you think you
    ever really get by with breaking the rules, you're only fooling yourself.
         It's also important to decide exactly what you want. Then keep your mind focused on it, and be prepared
    to receive it.
         But be ready to end up in some new places too. As you grow with the years, you'll be given bigger shoes
    to fill. So be ready for endings as well as challenging beginnings.
         Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn't just reaching
    peaks. Part of it is moving from one peak to the next. If you rest too long in between, you might be tempted
    to quit. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.
         Dump things that weigh you down emotionally and spiritually. When an old resentment, belief, or an
    attitude becomes heavy, lighten your load. Shed those hurtful attitudes that slow you down and drain your
    energy.
         Remember that your choices will create your successes and your failures. So consider all the pathways
    ahead, and decide which one to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going. 
         And be sure to take breaks once in a while. They'll give you a renewed commitment to your dreams and
    a cheerful, healthy perception of the things that matter the most to you.
         Most important of all, never give up yourself. The person that ends up a winner is the one who resolves
    to win. Give life everything you've got, and life will give its best back to you.
                                                                                                                                           Love always, 
                                                                                                                                           Grandpa
    1. The underlined part "But knowing my days are numbered" implies that ____.
    A. his grandpa could count days
    B. his grandpa's each day was important
    C. his grandpa knew he was dying
    D. his grandpa was eager to tell the young man
    2. Why did the young man's grandpa write this letter?
    A. Because he wanted to recall his whole life.
    B. Because he wanted to tell his grandson how great he was.
    C. Because he wanted to explain how to keep energy.
    D. Because he wanted to show how to succeed.
    3. The young man's grandpa may agree ____.
    A. how a person looks at things has nothing to do with one's future
    B. we should be thankful for what mistakes teach us
    C. successful life is just reaching peaks
    D. it's not so important to decide exactly what you want
    4. According to the passage, ____.
    A. learning to give up is very important
    B. we'd better stay in the familiar
    C. obeying little rules doesn't matter
    D. taking breaks once in a while is good for us
    1-4: C C B D

    It said that there was an old lady who swept nearly every inch of his Internet company. When she passed

    阅读理解。
         On a rainy day, you will see many streams of muddy (多泥的) water running down the slopes (山坡) of
    a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes.
          Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say
    that the land is eroded (侵蚀). This is known as soil erosion.
          Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they
    need. Plants need water and salts from the soil. 
          We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保护).
          One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots
    hold the soil tightly together. Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong
    winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall.
          Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting "steps" called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil cannot
    run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow of the water.
    Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.
          There are some other ways of soil conservation.
    1. On a rainy day the water running down the slopes of a hill is muddy because _____.
    [     ]
    A. there is no terrace on the slopes
    B. there is no small plant on the slopes
    C. it washes away soil from the slopes
    D. there is too much soil on the slopes
    2. Plants cannot grow on eroded land because _____.
    [     ]
    A. there is a lot of sand
    B. there is not enough water and salts
    C. there is no water
    D. the land is too hard
    3. One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is _____.
    [     ]
    A. to grow small plants such as grasses
    B. to plant trees around an open field
    C. to add fertilizer to the soil
    D. A and B
    4. From the passage we learn that there are _____ ways to reserve soil.
    [     ]
    A. only three
    B. two
    C. more than three
    D. six
