1 . A hare was very popular with the other animals who all said to be her friends. But one day she heard the hounds（猎狗）coming and hope to escape them with the help of her friends. So she went to the horse and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back, But he declined, saying that he had important work to do for his master instead. He said he felt sure that all her other friends would come to help her.

She then asked the bull, and hoped that he would prevent the hounds with his horns（角）. The bull replied, "I am very sorry, but I have an appointment with a lady, but I feel sure that our friend a goat will do what you want."

The goat, however, feared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon it. The ram, he felt sure, was the proper friend to apply to. So she went to the ram and told him the case. The ram replied, "Another time, my dear friend. I do not like to get into it, as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares."

The hare then applied as a last hope to the calf, who regretted that he was unable to help her, as he did not like to take the responsibility, as so many older animals than himself had declined the task. By this time, the hounds were quite near and the hare took to her heels and luckily escaped.

2 . ①It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better-paid jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t.

②It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people. Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time at school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail（详细地）either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

③Education is well-rounded（全面的）and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of humans. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch good plays and take an interest in the world.

④I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

1. The earliest education was probably to ________.

A．make a man lead a better life

C．	D．

D．People can get education in a short time.

3 . It's almost sunrise near the summit (山峰) of Japan's Mount Fuji. Exhausted climbers, many of whom have hiked the 3,776 meters through the night to reach this point, stop to watch as the sun begins its ascent. For everyone, this is an important moment: they have seen the sunrise on Mount Fuji.

Located in the centre of Japan, Mount Fuji, is a highly respected site. Japan's native religion, Shintoism, considers Fuji a holy (神圣的) place. Other people believe the mountain and its waters have the power to make a sick person well. For many, climbing Fuji is also a rite of passage (成人仪式). Some do it as a part of a religious (宗教的) journey; for others, it is a test of strength. Anyway, reaching the top in order to stand on Fuji's summit at sunrise is a must for many Japanese-and every July and August, almost 400,000 people attempt to do so.

Fuji is more than a holy spot and tourist destination (目的地), however. It is also an active volcano (火山) around which four million people have settled, and sits just 112 kilometers from the crowded streets of Tokyo. The last time Fuji exploded, in 1707, it sent out a cloud of ash (灰) that covered the capital city and darkened the sky for weeks.

Today, new data have some volcanologists concerned that Fuji may soon explode again. According to Motoo Ukawa and his associates at the National Research Institute for Earth and Science and Disaster Prevention, there has been an increase in activity under Fuji recently, which may be caused by low-frequency earthquakes. Understanding what causes these quakes may help scientists predict when Fuji, the biggest of Japan's 86 active volcanoes, will come back to life. In the meantime, locals living near Fuii hold special festivals each year to offer gifts to the goddess of the volcano- as they have for generations-so that she will not explode and destroy the land and its people below.

1. What does the underlined word “ascent” in paragraph 1 mean?

6 . Do you know a saying about the swan feather (天鹅羽毛)?

This saying comes from a historic book called Lu Shi. According to the story, a Tang Dynasty official(唐朝官员）in Yunnan wanted to show his respect to the emperor. He sent a man named Mian Bogao to bring some gifts to the emperor. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan, and it was a very valuable gift at the time.

7 . Friendships can be difficult because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people finally get hurt.

Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should be against.

The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you’d like to be treated (对待). This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.

Even if you’re al ways thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.

9 . Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will affect (影响) your life in some serious way.
Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful (痛苦的) and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failure (失败) you experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.

10 . “No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion， written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. _____________________ Without other people， life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us， though making friends is not difficult， feeling shy， we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship， but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence (影响) People， written in 1936， is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice (劝告) seems to be simple， but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.
1. Be friendly and polite.
Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”， when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2. Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you， but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.[来源：Z|xx|k.Com]
