I still remember my kindergarten(幼儿园)teacher, Mrs, White. She looked just like Snow White,         she had the same bright eyes and short dark hair.
We used to           a lot . And I would show what I wrote to Mrs. White for correction(批改). She would look at my writing and see many mistakes in it. But she          made any red correction and she always gave a star. I was feeling           of my writing each time I got a star. But it          my mother. So one day, when she met Mrs. White at a parent-teacher meeting. Mum asked her why she never corrected my          and why she never said no to her child.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get          about using words. Spelling and grammar can wait. We can’t          that interest with a red pen.”As it was a long time ago, my mother could only remember the main idea of           Mrs. White said about my writing. However, I grew up learning to use words with loving care and           like that.
If Mrs. White had used her red pen more often, I           wouldn’t be telling you about this now, Whenever I look back on those encouraging          from Mrs.White, I feel they just look           real ones in the night sky-bright, shiny, and guiding me on my way somewhere. I do believe she was such a           teacher, who tried to use a red pen less to keep the joy, wonder and excitement in a child’s           .
Thanks to Mrs. White, I have no fear about writing. Also, I’m not afraid of any mistake in my life!

One Sunday evening, it was quite dark when old Stanley went for his walk. He was walking along the sidewalk, Suddenly, he saw a white car coming around the corner at high speed. It was going too fast and crashed into a red car in the street where he was walking. He rushed up to the cars to see if anyone was hurt and needed help.
The two drivers were arguing.
“You came around the corner too fast,” one man said.
“No!” said the driver of the white car, “That’s not true! Your car was parked in a wrong place.”
Stanley listened to their argument and then said the white car driver was wrong to drive too fast. The driver of red car asked Stanley to prove he was right in court(法庭). Stanley gave the driver his name and telephone number.
Next Thursday morning, Stanley was asked to go to the court. The lawyer(律师) for the driver of the white car asked him a lot of questions about what he had seen. Then he asked Stanley how old he was.
“I’m eighty-two,” answered Stanley.
“Do you usually wear glasses ?” asked the lawyer.
“Yes, I do,” answered Stanley.
“Were you wearing them on the night of the accident?” the lawyer asked.
“No,” replied Stanley.
Then the lawyer said, “Why should the court believe you? You are eighty-two years old, you were not wearing your glasses, and it was dark. How far can you see in the dark?”

Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food.

The passage tells us that ___________.

Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000miles to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far? And why does it make this long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an answer.
For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.
The length of the butterflies find their way back to the same place? Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.
How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代)makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.
Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍), and then dies. On the trip north,two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.
Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.
The best title of the passage can be ________.

It took the scientist ______ to find out that monarch butterflies came from Canada.

We know that the _____ generation of Monarch butterflies travel back to central Mexico.

The underlined word “offspring” in the passage is closest in meaning to______.

Ma Yun became one of the richest men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock（股票)market last year with a value of around 140 billion-the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on the way to success.
Ma made his first trip to the a US in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for “beer”, he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for “China” and still saw no results. He decided to set up a Chinese website--the seed for Alibaba was sown(播种).
Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and few companies offered him jobs, including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.
It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However, he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.
Ma’s hero is Forrest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos(达沃斯论坛)in 2015,Ma said, “Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get.”

Many companies today hold meetings to discuss their new plans. As people are paying more attention to the environment problems, more companies are looking for ways to reduce their bad influence on the environment. Many of them achieve this by using web meeting.
Web meeting is a technology that allows people to communicate better over the Internet. It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting. Participants(与会者) don’t have to leave the office. Each of them will receive an invitation with the meeting time and date on it. When the meeting is ready to begin, they must sit before their computers.
With web meeting, all participants can attend the meeting at their own desks. They don’t need to drive a car to travel to and from the meeting. As a result, no fuel（燃料) is used and less time is taken up in attending a web meeting.
Materials for the meeting are simply e-mailed to all the participants before it begins. Then participants can just read them on the screen. For the company, this not only saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost.
As a meeting hall is not used, the only power for a web meeting is the power that is used by the computers. Besides, organized don’t have to pay for food or accommodation（住宿)for the participants. All this means that less energy is used.
In a word, web meeting is a cheaper, greener, and more friendly way of hosting and attending a meeting. Companies that hold web meetings are willing to work hard for a better environment. So they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas. In return, they develop good relationship with other companies and improve their business.
