It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."

As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.

A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class—not about math, but about life—would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.

Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction—I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.

1.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author __________.

A.quite agreed with his colleague

B.was very puzzled

C.thought it very funny

D.was very sad

A.wanted to inform the author of his present job

B.tried to persuade the author to work with him

C.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction

D.thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher

3.The underlined part “blue hats and gowns” refers to___________.

A.university colleagues

B.graduates' clothes

D.decorations in the hall

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.

Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A.To invite authors to guide readers.

B.To encourage people to read and share.

C.To involve people in community service.

D.To promote the friendship between cities.

2.According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

A.In large communities with little sense of unity.

B.In large cities where libraries are far from home.

C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.

D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.

3.The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean      .

A.exchanged ideas with each other

B.discussed the meaning of a word

C.gained life experience

D.used the same language

4.According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by       .

A.the careful selection of a proper book

B.the growing popularity of the writers

C.the number of people who benefit from reading

D.the number of books that each person reads

NASA’s Mars detector (探测器), Opportunity, succeeded in finding signs that water once existed on the planet. Opportunity landed on Mars in January. Scientists now believe that the planet could once have supported life.

This discovery was chosen by Science, one of the world’s leading magazines, as the most important scientific achievement of 2004 last Friday.

“This little, wheeled, one-armed box went around another planet and has done something no human has ever managed,” according to Science. “It has discovered another place in the universe where life could once have existed.”

“Although we still can’t say that life could have existed in this environment, it is now certain that there was water on Mars,” said Steve Squyres, one of the scientists working on the Mars mission. The evidence comes from pictures and chemical readings taken by Opportunity. It includes marks on rocks like those caused by flowing water on Earth and salty chemicals like those found in dried-out sea-beds. Scientists said the new evidence proved beyond doubt that water has existed on Mars. But it is still unknown whether the water on Mars was like an ocean or justice.

While Opportunity has not found any signs of life, the presence of water means life is possible. “In everything we know about life on Earth, there is no example without liquid water,” Squyres said. “So water is important for the search for life on Mars.”

Researchers agree that a future mission (任务) should bring back physical samples (样品). But some scientists worry about the risk that this could introduce dangerous foreign creatures to Earth. “The problem here is how to get the samples back,” Squyres replied. “I think it is our responsibility to limit any risk.”

1.________ prove that water existed on Mars.

A.The physical samples with salty chemicals

B.The marks on rocks and salty chemicals

C.Scientific achievements of 2004

D.Creatures from Mars

2.Which of the following is TURE according to the text?

A.It is now certain that there was water on Mars.

B.The water on Mars was like an ocean.

C.Evidence of life on Mars has been found.

D.Search for life on Mars is a great risk to humans.

3.How did scientists draw the conclusion that there was water on Mars?

A.The world’s leading magazine has announced the fact.

B.Scientists have taken many pictures and chemical readings on the Mars.

C.Astronauts have got some rocks from Mars.

D.Scientists have made a study of the pictures and readings sent back by Mars detector.

4.It can be inferred that, if the creatures from Mars came to Earth, ________.

A.they would be kind to humans

B.they would be cruel to humans

C.they would be a great danger to Earth

D.it would be hard to say whether it would be a good news or bad news

Friendship is one of the basic bonds (纽带) between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.

  Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft (失去). If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate(清楚表达) their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.

  “No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.

  As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts(性格内向者)are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.

  Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy (密切) is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity(相互性), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.

1.The second paragraph implies that _____..

A.teenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problems

B.a widow or a widower will die very soon without companionship

C.human beings need companionship and a sense of belonging

D.both A and B

2.The degree of intimacy of friendship mainly depends on _____ .

A.age

B.belonging

C.personality

D.culture

3.The author thinks that close friends _____ .

A.can be easily formed when one is young

B.cannot be long-lasting

C.are not rare for everyone

D.are rare for most people

4.The word “irrespective”(Last sentence, Para. 5) means _____ .

A.not respecting

B.dishonoring

C.regardless

D.Considering
