This was Larry’s another underwater expeditions(探险). However, this time, it was quite different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Lorry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
1.In what way was this expedition different for Larry?
A. His daughter had grown up.
B. He had become a famous diver.
C. His daughter would dive with him.
D. His father would dive with him.
2.What can be inferred from Paragraph2?
A. Larry was lucky to have got such a chance to dive.
B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.
D. Divers had to buy diving equipment.
3.Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?
A. To take photos more conveniently.
B. To dive into the deep water.
C. To admire the underwater view.
D. To protect himself from danger.
4. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.
B. Larry enjoyed the adventure.
C. Larry had a poor memory.
D. Larry was not good at math.
5.What did Larry expect his daughter to do?
A. Make a good diving guide.
B. Have longer hours of training.
C. Take a lot of photo underwater.
D. Become a successful diver.

Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air who can be down-to-earth.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.
1.If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____.
A. is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dreams
B. has some dreams but he is realistic
C. is honest, open and easy to deal with
D. is honest, open but hard to deal with
2.From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually ________.
A. help a student get down to the earth
B. wake a student up
C. help a daydreaming student come down
D. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic
3.The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.
A. the person who has his nose in the air is not true
B. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent
C. the opposite direction is always wrong
D. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, ‘Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite, They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.
A. describe the place carefully
B. show him a map of the place
C. tell him the names of the streets
D. refer to recognizable buildings and places
2.What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York. B. Los Angeles. C. Kansas. D. Iowa.
3.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.
A. in order to save time B. as a test
C. so as to be polite D. for fun
4.What can we infer from the text?
A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C. People have similar understandings of politeness.
D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

It is never too late to try to make your dreams come true. This could be Mary Moe’s motto—the expression that best presents her spirit. Mary Moe has done a lot during the past 91 years. For much of that time, she wanted to fly, but never had the chance—until now. She recently achieved her life-long dream.
Mary just learned how to fly an airplane, a dream she has had since she was a little girl. Growing up, she was inspired by two American pilots: Charles Lindburgh Amelia Earhart. They became her inspiration. Lindbugh made the solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. Five years later, Earhart became the first woman to make the flight. But Mary Moe could not find time to make her dream come true. At age 34, she was just too busy—busy fighting cancer. She was also busy with her job in advertising and busy raising her family.
There was simply no time to think about flying a plane. And it was difficult for her to drive to the airport. Lessons were costly. Everything seemed to be working against Mary.
“I had actually gone out to that airport in the 1980s to see about flying lessons and it was such a long drive out and expensive and I thought, ‘No, I have to put this back burner for a while.’” So her dream had to wait. She kept it on the back burner. Then, at age 91, her wish finally came true.
Ms Moe learned about Wish of a lifetime. Wish of a Lifetime is a non-profit organization whose goal is to change the way our society thinks about aging and older adults.
Sally Webster works for the group. Wish of Lifetime helps older people, senior citizens, enjoy a dream. It also sends the message that it is never too late for a dream. So they really try to look for those stories that are inspiring and can show people that older Americans can achieve things just like younger Americans can.
1. In her thirties, Mary Moe must have ___________
A. lived a smooth life B. been unemployed
C. spent a hard time D. learned how to fly
2.The underlined part is closest in meaning to “_____________”
A. set this down B. put this off
C. cut this off D. give this away
3.Wish of Lifetime is set up in order to_____________.
A. change people’s thought about the old
B. improve people’s life
C. raise money for the old
D. help the old live on themselves

Trampolining
What’s more fun than standing still? Jumping up and down on a springy piece of fabric (织物)! This activity is known as trampolining and it’s sweeping the nation．
The idea of trampolining is ancient．Eskimos have been throwing each other in the air for thousands of years．Firemen began using a life net to catch people jumping from buildings in 1887.1.
A gymnast named George Nissan and his coach Larry Griswold made the first modern trampoline in 1936.They got the idea by watching swing artists bouncing off of a tight net at the circus．They named their equipment after the Spanish word trampolín, which means diving board.
2. In 1942 they began making trampolines to sell to the public.
3.Experts find that more than 100,000 people hurt themselves while using one each year．Clubs and gyms use large safety nets or other equipment to make it safer．Most trampoline injuries happen at home．Since trampolines are more affordable than ever, injuries are even more common.
These injuries happen for many reasons．People may bounce too high and land off of the trampoline or onto the springs．4.Perhaps the worst injuries happen when untrained people try to do flips (快速翻转)．Landing on your neck or head can cause injuries or even kill you.
But don’t let all that bad news keep you down．There are many things that you can do to practice safe trampolining．Trampolines have been around for a while now．They have brought a lot of joy to many people．They can be a good source of exercise and activity．5.But they can also be deadly．It is important to follow some professional guidance．Be sure that you are practicing safety while having a good time．Happy bouncing!
A． They can help people improve their balance and moves.
B． Trampolines may be fun, but they can also be dangerous.
C． The men wanted to share their idea with the whole world.
