It has taken him about twenty years to recycle (回收)rubbish, but at last Wu Zheng bought his wife a piano.
“It was not just an instrument, but the love from my husband,” said his wife, Xie Guizhi. “I clean the piano every day and don’t allow other people to touch it,”said Xie, 58, a retired worker in Luoyang ,Henan Province. 
Wu, 68, said he made up of his mind to buy his wife a piano long ago, even though their life was poor. “My wife enjoys music and love piano vey much,” Wu said. “I dreamed of buying her a piano as early as 38 years ago when we fell in love with each other.”
Yet the cost of the piano――22,550 yuan($3,500)―― was too much for the family. To make more money to support the family, Wu decided to pick up recyclable waste after work in the early 1990s. “ I felt like I was doing some wrong things when I started to look for recyclable waste in the street,” he said. “The most worrying thing for me was meeting my colleagues.”
By collecting all kinds of wastes, Wu could get about 4,000 yuan per year and save about 1,000 of that. But he had to travel around the city twice every day for more than 10 kilometres.
“I really appreciate that my husband has done so much for me,” Xie said happily.Wu Zheng’s dream is ________________.

Hi, everyone! I will graduate from high school in June. Some of my foreign friends have asked me about the process of entering an American university(综合性大学), so here I will tell you how it works.
First you have to choose which university you want to go to. This is not easy, as there are over 3,000 universities and colleges in the USA. Do you want to stay near home, or do you want to go far away? What do you want to study? Once you have decided what is important to you, I would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to (申请). This way, if one or two schools do not accept you, you still have a chance of being accepted by the others.
After you have chosen which schools you would like to apply to, you have to finish an application form for each one. You also need to ask two or three of your teachers to write letters to the universities explaining why you would be a good university student. For many people, the worst part of applying for university is taking tests. Depending on which college or university you want to go to, you have to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which tests your language, math and writing skills, or the American College Test (ACT), which tests your knowledge in English, math, science and history.
After you have been accepted to a university, you need to be able to pay for your study there. To help students pay for their education, the government offers loans（贷款）which students do not have to repay until after they graduate. Scholarships（奖学金）are also available to students who have excellent grades, who are good players or who have financial（财政）needs. Because university tuition is so expensive, many students also work part-time while they are at university.
University courses are quite different from classes at high school. You only go to each class two or three times a week, you have to study a lot more outside of class. Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them. There will be many new things to learn, but I think I will enjoy university.

Scientists who study the climate are still arguing about how fast the earth is warming and how much it will warm, but they do agree that the earth is warming and that it will keep warming if we don’t do anything about it.
Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape into the air and that these gases are causing most of the warming. Another cause is deforestation (cutting down trees) . Trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air.
There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. It’s already too late to stop global warming completely.
If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that is disappearing because they can’t move to new homes. There may be more storms and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming.
Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. People are having a hard time agreeing on what to do about it. For example, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. But some people think that the federal government (联邦政府) should make laws about it, while other people think it should be up to each person or business to decide what to do.
Many states and businesses in the United States are not waiting until the federal government decides what to do. They have already started working on the problem.What are the scientists arguing about in the passage?

| A．The disappearance of plants and animals and the wasting energy. |
| B．The burning of fossil fuels and storms and floods. |

What is the best title of this passage?
| A．The reason for global warming | B．How to stop global warming |

When my wife left this world, I chose to travel in Antigua looking for a peaceful place to rest my old body. Not quite old and weak, I felt I wanted something more than the usual hotel room with 24-hour room service.
I decided this year to try something completely new and booked myself a private holiday home in Antigua. This was the best decision I had ever made, as there was plenty to do, plenty to see and lots of lovely restaurants to visit. There was a private swimming pool, and a cool, wide yard where I ate my breakfast most mornings.
Antigua has to be one of the loveliest places on earth to spend a holiday. The bright blue sea and the endless blue around the beach areas proved to be an excellent place for me to spend the long afternoons.
I had to hurry to do what I wanted to do before the holiday came to an end. I managed to visit the Sugar Mill and Shirley Heights on my last two days and yet found myself wondering whether I could extend for a few more days.
I rented a boat and came home after a day’s sailing, refreshed, looking forward to dinner. Everything is so pleasant on these beautiful islands, swept by the trade winds and warmed by the sun for so many summer months. The food just tasted better to me, perhaps because I was having such a great holiday. There was always someone to have a drink with---- that’s what I liked most. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned about the private holiday home the writer stayed in?
| A．It had a private swimming pool. |
| B．There were lots of restaurants near it. |
| C．The writer often had breakfast in its yard. |
| D．It supplied delicious seafood to the writer. |
The word “extend” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.
| A．make something last longer |
| B．make you feel happy |
| C．prevent from entering |
| D．sell goods to foreign countries |
The most important reason for the writer to travel in Antigua was ______.
| A．there was bright blue sea |
| B．there was endless blue sky |
| C．there were lots of lovely restaurants |
| D．there were many people to drink with |
