I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(养马场). He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’
“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’ ”
Monty then turned to the group present and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough courage not to give up yours.’ ”
“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what,” Monty at last concluded.
The teacher asked the boy to rewrite the paper because __________.
A.the boy was too poor to achieve his dream |
B.the teacher doubted his chance of success |
C.the boy was not good enough to achieve his goal |
D.the teacher looked down on the boy absolutely |

C.Honest and sorry. | D.Embarrassed and proud. |
【改编】Monty told the story to say that __________.

B.If your dream is beyond reach, give it up and be realistic. |
C.Your dream will come true as long as you stick to it however hard it is. |
D.The teacher made little difference to his students. |
What would be the best title of the passage?

The writers of murder stories go to a great deal of trouble to keep us guessing right up to the end. In actual fact, people often behave more strangely in real life than they do in stories.
The following advertisement once appeared in a local newspaper: "An opportunity to earn $250 in a few minutes. A man willing to take chances is wanted for an out-of-the-ordinary job which can be performed only once." A reader found this offer very generous and applied to the advertiser, but being a bit suspicious, he gave a false name. Soon afterwards, he received a reply. Enclosed in the envelope was a typed note instructing him to ring a certain number if he was still interested. He did so and learned on the telephone that the advertiser wanted him "to get rid of somebody" and would discuss it more fully with him the next day. But the man told the police and from then on acted under their instructions.
The police saw the two men met and watched them as they drove away together. In the car the advertiser came to the point at once: he told the man he wanted him to shoot his wife. The reason he gave was that he was suffering from an incurable disease and wanted to live in a warmer country,but his wife objected to this. Giving the man some money,the advertiser told him to buy a gun and warned him to be careful of the dog which,though it would not bite,might attract attention. He also gave him a photograph of his wife so that he would be able to recognize her,After that,the advertiser suggested that the man should "do the job" next morning. Meanwhile,he would prepare his wife by telling her that a young man was going to call. After the murder,they would meet again outside a railway station and the money would be paid as arranged. The second meeting never took place,for the advertiser was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with attempting to persuade someone to murder his wife.

B.While reading murder stories, we have to guess from the beginning to the end. |
C.People usually behave more strangely in murder stories than in real life. |
D.It is very easy for writers of murder stories to have readers guessing. |
The underlined word “suspicious” in paragraph two means _________?
A.doubtful | B.sure |
C.persuaded | D.unexpected |
Why did the man put an advertisement in a local newspaper?
A.To have his wife killed because he doubt whether she still loved him. |
B.To ask someone to buy a gun for him and then he would kill his wife. |
C.To hire someone to kill his wife because he didn’t love her any more. |

【改编】Where did the advertiser wish the man to shoot his wife?
A.In the car | B.At a railway station |

Robots that can chat,find misplaced glasses,draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society.
Robots,such as the sound.sensitive Chapit,answer simple questions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age.
Japan has one of the world’s fastest-aging societies and the government predicts that by 2050,the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 percent.”Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to,”said Kazuya Kitamura representative of the expo organizer.“Communication robots accompany people and don’t mind listening to the same stories over and over again.”
Matsumoto’s“Personal Mobility Robot,”equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize the user's centre of gravity, is designed to help elderly move around without pressing buttons.using joysticks(操纵杆)or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.
The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor.
Other robots,such as the award-winning “DiGRO” can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children.The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures,keeping children company while parents work.
While Chapit,a relatively simple robot,managed to attract a corporate partner many researchers,such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto,a professor at the University of Tokyo,struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects.
“We have developed a robot that can assist many people,but we still haven’t found a sponsor,” said Matsumoto,who added that the cost of the machine,if mass-produced,would be comparable to that of a car.”In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project,”he said.
It can be inferred from the text that_______.
A.many children lack love from parents |
B.robots helpful to the old will be in great demand |
C.robots are the most useful to children |
D.robots do better than people in healthcare |
It is difficult to find sponsors for robots because______.
A.Japan is suffering economy depression |
B.the robots are of poor design |
C.the production of robots costs a lot |
D.the future market is worrying |
【改编】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To attract people to visit the new kind of robot |
B.To find the investment of the robot. |
C.To persuade people to buy the robot. |
D.To introduce a new kind of robot. |
My Left Foot (1989)
Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot, based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown, can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express himself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.
Shine (1996)
Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.
Life Is Beautiful (1997)
Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the best actor Oscar.
Stand and Deliver (1988)
Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates accomplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalante’s support.

Before we start a voyage, we usually try to find out more or less definitely where we are bound and how we are supposed to get there.
I happen to have the “Concise Oxford dictionary” on my desk and that will do as well as any other. The word I am looking for appears at the bottom of Page 344. edition 1912.
“Geography: the science of the earth's surface, form, physical features, natural and political divisions, climate, productions and population.”
I could not possibly hope to do better, but I still stress some of the aspects of the case at the expenses of others, because I intend to place man in the centre of the stage. This book of mine will not merely discuss the surface of the earth and its physical features, together with its political and natural boundaries. I would rather call it a study of man in search of food and shelter and leisure for himself and for his family and an attempt to his background or has reshaped his physical surroundings in order to be comfortable and well nourished and happy with his limited strength.
Among the two million human beings in the world, there is of course the widest possible range for all sorts of experiments of an economic and social and cultural nature. It seems that those experiments deserve our attention before anything else. For a mountain is after all merely a mountain until it has been seen by human eyes and has been walked on by human feet and until its slopes and valleys have been occupied and fought over and planted by a dozen generation of hungry settlers.
The Atlantic Ocean was just as wide and deep and as wet and salty before the beginning of the 13th century as after, but it took the human touch to make it what it is today—a bridge between the New World and the Old, the highway for the commerce between East and West.
For thousands of years the endless Russian plains lay ready to offer their abundant harvest to whoever should take the trouble to sow the first grain. But the aspect of that country today would he a very different one if the hand of a German or a Frank, rather than that of a Slav, had guided the iron-pointed stick that plowed the first furrows (犁沟).
The island of Nippon would shake and quake just as continually, whether they happened to be settled by Japanese or by the Tasmanian race, but in the latter case they would hardly be able to feed 60,000,000 people.
Generally speaking, I have paid more attention to the purely “human” side of geography than to the commercial problems which are so important in a day and age devoted to mass production.
In the first four paragraphs, the author wants to share with the readers ______.
A.his approach to planning a voyage |
B.his emphasis on using a dictionary |
C.his definition of the word “geography” |
D.his altitude to the earth's physical features |
Which of the following will the author NOT consider to be on experiment according to Paragraph 5?
A.Exploring a mountain. |
B.Climbing a mountain. |
C.Planting on slopes and valleys. |
D.Becoming hungry. |
The author mentioned the Russian plains and the island of Nippon to show that _____.
A.they both feed a lot of people |
B.they enjoy very good natural conditions |
C.different people may make the same place different |
D.their natural conditions haven't changed for many years |
