【推荐1】Several summers ago, Joe Smith, a coach（教练） of a football team, and his family were spending their holidays in a small town. One rainy afternoon, it was impossible for them to go out to do something interesting, so the family decided to go to the cinema. Joe, his wife, and their three children walked soon to the town’ s only cinema, bought tickets and went into the hall. The lights were still on, and there were just six other persons there. As Joe entered, some of them saw him and started clapping（鼓掌）.
Joe gave them a smile and turned to his wife.“Aha, I can’ t believe they know me and
I’ m getting a warm welcome here,” he guessed.“They saw my games on TV.”
They sat down and then a young man came back and gave out his hand.“Thanks a lot,”said the coach.“I just can’ t believe you know who I am.” “All I know,”replied the man.“Is that they would not show the film until at least ten people bought tickets.”

【推荐2】On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”
Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.
You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.

【推荐3】下面文章中有五处（第31-35题）需要添加首句。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。

Where you sit and how you fit

    1     For more than seventy years, researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners. Where do you usually decide to sit? Have you ever really thought about the reasons for your decision?

    2     But is this really true? Well, some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is fare away from the teacher and they don’t want to answer questions. At the back, students probably won’t speak much, but in big classrooms, it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit here often get lower grades on tests and exams. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice.

    3     However, they like watching and listening rather than joining in. These students are usually also very good at taking notes. Next time you miss a class, borrow notes from someone who sits here. On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and thoughtful people. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning.

    4     Then the statistics (统计数据) say you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing, and cheerful people usually sit in the middle. They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams.

    5     Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. The only problem with sitting here is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class. So, if you really want to hear what everyone says in class, choose a different place to sit.

A．You probably sit right at the front of the class if you’re longing for knowledge.

B．Research suggests that the seat you choose in the classroom says a lot about you and your personality.

C．Do you sit in the middle of the classroom?

D．This means it’s a good idea to sit in a different place every day.

E．People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy.

F．Students who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in class.

【推荐1】A grand international horticultural（园艺）exhibition kicked off on April 29, 2019 Monday in Beijing. Chinese President Xi expressed his hope that the green development concept（理念）embodied（体现）by the Expo park would be spread to “every corner of the world”.

The International Horticultural Exhibition 2019 Beijing is the highest-level and largest international fair held in China after the International Horticultural Exhibition held in the southwest city of Kunming in 1999, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and the first China International Import Expo in 2018.

“The development model of ‘killing the hens for eggs' and ‘draining（排空）the lake for fish' is at a dead end, "Xi said in his speech at the opening ceremony of the Expo. "The future will be illuminated（发光的）by eco-friendly development that is in accordance with the rules of nature.”

“China's ecological civilization（生态文明）development is on fast track. People will live in a better environment with blue sky, green mountains and clear water, "Xi said." We should protect the ecological environment like protecting our eyes and value it in the same way we value our lives.”

“Only with concerted efforts can we effectively（有效）deal with global environment issues such as climate change, marine（海洋）pollution and biological protection and achieve the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable（可持续的）Development goals," he said.

He put forward a five-point suggestion: pursuing（追求）harmony between human and nature, prosperity（繁荣）based on green development, a passion for mature-caring lifestyles, a scientific spirit in ecological governance and joint efforts to deal with environmental challenges.

"The Beijing Horticultural Expo, themed ‘Live Green, Live Better', is one of the major international events hosted by China in 2019, which marks the 70^th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It indicates（标识）that China has changed from a participant（参与者）in global green development to a contributor and leader, "said Wu Shunze, an expert with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.

【推荐2】Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seaman tells young students some ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow. First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend, should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can’t be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things can’t always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.

There are three steps to being friends again:

Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
