【推荐1】In show business, well-known movie stars are rich and widely respected. For the rest of us, however, it’s a different story. Here is a typical day in a film studio.
My alarm clock went off at 5:20 am. Why did I have to get up so early? Well, I had to arrive at the studio at 7 and it’s an hour’s drive away. The morning traffic was slow, but I got there on time. After I parked my car, an assistant director led me to the canteen for breakfast.
Before I even finished up my coffee, a costumer rushed in to measure me for a new blouse. Then, I headed to the makeup department. Forty minutes later, with a fresh look, I headed to the scene.
The director and some other actors were already there. I spoke with the director about the scene. I found out that he had changed the lines that I had stayed up late the night before to remember. We rehearsed the scene several times. After that, the technicians had to set up the lights. While I waited for them, I tried to remember my new lines.
About twenty minutes later, I got to the scene again. “Action!” the director ordered. One of the other actors said her lines as she walked towards me. I started to say mine. “Cut!” the director said suddenly.
Did I do anything wrong? No. One of the lights went out. The technicians repaired it as soon as possible.
Then, we started again from the beginning. Luckily, nothing went wrong this time.
Soon, it was time for lunch. In the afternoon, we shot one more scene. Finally, at 6 pm, I could go home.
There was no applause (掌声). This is a film studio, not a theater. But it’s a wonderful experience to make friends with other young actors. That’s why I love my job!

【推荐1】Modern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way of travelling is by plane. By plane, you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer(更喜欢)to travel by sea when possible. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on ships. Ships are not as fast as trains or planes, but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

【推荐3】Weekday mornings are very busy for US middle school students. When your school doesn't have a bus, and you live too far away to walk, you need a carpool （拼车）. A carpool is a group of people sharing the responsibility （责任） of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns（轮流） to drive the kids in their cars.
Someone's car smells like wet dogs. Some kids get to eat desserts （甜点） for breakfast and some parents shout so much that all you try to do is to stay quiet and go unnoticed. When your mom or dad drives the carpool, your classmates get a close-up look at how strange your parents can be. It might be your first sociological （社会学） study and your first time to work with others.
Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It's a great lesson in responsibility. Imagine （想象） sitting in the car outside of a classmate's house, watching the clock and counting the seconds. Then you start to understand how your carpool friends might feel when you are still inside the house at 7:48. You really begin to learn all your real life lessons just moments before the start of school-in the carpool.

Once there was a milkmaid (挤奶女工) named Patty living in a small village. One day, she milked her cow and had two full pails (桶) of fresh milk. She never got so much milk at a time, so she decided to sell it at the market (市场). She put the pails of milk on both ends of a stick, carried it on her shoulder (肩膀) and set off to the market. As she walked to the market, her mind began to wander a bit. On her way, she kept thinking about the money she would make from selling the milk. Then she thought about what she would do with that money.
She was talking to herself and said, “Once I get the money, I’ll buy some chickens. The chickens will lay eggs and I will get more chickens. They’ll all lay eggs, and I will sell the eggs for more money. Someday, I’ll buy the house on the hill and everyone will envy (羡慕) me.” She was excited about the thought of becoming rich and having a better life.
With these happy thoughts, she walked more excitedly. As she almost got to the market, suddenly she tripped (绊倒) and fell. Both of the pails of the milk fell to the ground and spilled (洒) everywhere. There was no milk left for her to sell. All Patty could do was to cry and shout, “Why?”
She had to go home and told her mother what happened. “Oh, my child,” said her mother, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

【推荐3】One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought therestrictionof the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
1. Why does the writer write the first paragraph?| A．Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites. |
| B．Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers. |
| C．Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites. |
| D．Because he wants to use readers’ similar life experience to understand the article better. |
| A．anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end |
| B．what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground |
| C．man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down |
| D．the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure |
| A．control | B．freedom | C．shake | D．guide |
| A．without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress |
| B．kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom |
| C．restrictions are necessary for us human beings |
| D．we don’t need any freedom at all |
