2 . ①How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course （高 尔夫球场）. Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.
②First, a community park should open for everyone. But not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the court.
③Second, to build the golf course, lots of playground equipment will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste （浪费）of time and money.It’s also a waste of good equipment.
④Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are fond of golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground, which children like a lot. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and anything to do. This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game instead of getting some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park?
⑤Finally, golf is expensive. Building and maintaining（维护）a golf course cost a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course?
⑥Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.
1. Some people want to change the park into ________.| A．a golf club | B．a golf course | C．a park | D．a skating place |

3 . ①Nowadays, lots of young people have problems with their minds. These problems not only hurt the students’ health but also make their parents and teachers very worried. And these problems have caught people's attention.
②Ma Qingyu, a student from Shandong, could not understand his teacher and was doing badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it so that he started to lose appetite（胃口）.
③Another student, 16-year-old Zhang Ni from Zhejiang, was afraid of exams. She got very worried in exams. And when she looked at the exam paper, she couldn't think of anything to write.
④These are just two examples. A recent report from China Daily says about 14% of Beijing teenagers have mental problems. Their troubles include（包括）being worried and very unhappy, and having problems in learning and getting on with people. Many students who have problems won't go for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others don't want to talk about their secrets.

4 . One day, our teacher said that he had an exercise for us to try. We were to stand, facing away from our classmates, and fall backward, depending on another student to catch us. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We couldn't fall back for more than a few inches before stopping ourselves. Finally, Judy gave it a try. She is a thin, quiet dark-haired girl who always wears big white sweaters. Judy crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes, leaned back, and did not stop. She looked like one of the TV ads where the model jumps into the pool.
For a moment, I was sure she was going to fall onto the floor. At the last moment, her partner grabbed(抓住) her head and shoulders and pulled her up immediately.
"Whoa!" several students yelled. Some clapped their hands. Our teacher finally smiled. "You see," he said to the girl. "You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see. You have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other person trust(信任)you, you must feel that you can trust them too-even you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in today's Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3 years old. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time, only children fromnoblefamilies could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius' lessons. He told us that we have something worthy to be learned. "When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them."
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled. All thinking but no study makes people lazy."
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important ideas are about kindness and good manners. He said young people should take care of the old. People should give up only thinking of themselves and work for others. Some of his popular words are: "A kind person should care for others" and "A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to other." People uses his ideas to help themselves and society. At present, more than 100 Internet websites are telling people about him, and his ideas have gone far into east and south Asia.

6 . The relationship (关系) between teachers and students is an important part of school life. An Indian movie called Hichki tells the story of a teacher who helps some bad students and makes them better people. It is popular with lots of students now.
In Hichki, the main character is Naina Mathur. She has an illness (疾病) that makes her hiccup (打嗝) often. With her hard work, she gets her dream job as a teacher. But she has to teach a class of rebellious students. They laugh at Mathur in her first class.
However, Mathur doesn't get angry (生气) with them. She tries her best to help every student. When they cause a small explosion (爆炸) and the school asks them to leave, Mathur still help them a lot. Little by little, Mathur wins the students' hearts. Under her care, the students start to study harder and become better and better.
From the story, we know that good teacher doesn't simply pass on knowledge (知识), but shows students how to be a good person. It also shows us that anyone can be successful, even if they have some kind of illness.

7 . Everyone has a family name. In China, the family name is the first name, but in English countries the family name is the last name. Do you know how English people get their family names? And what do they mean? English people usually get their family names in these ways（方式）.
Some family names come from the places of their homes. If a man lives on or near a hill, his family name may be（可能是）Hill. In England, people's names may be Wood, Lake because they live near the wood（树林）or the lake.
Some family names come from a person's job. If a person is a cook, his family name may be Cook.
And many people get their family names from their fathers' family names. If you hear the name "Jackson", you can know that he is the son of Jack.

8 . On Oct. 25 this year, the Healthy China Action (2019-2030): Tobacco Control Promotion Campaign(控烟行动) came out in Beijing. It shows about 9.4 million junior high school students tried tobaccos(烟)before.
How did this happen? First of all, stopping smoking in public(公共) places is difficult. It’s easy for teenagers to buy tobaccos on streets. And it’s hard to find out who is smoking in a place full of people. And how to punish(惩处) them is a question. It will use much money to make people ask others not to smoke in public places. So, some units(部门) just have to let it go.
There’s another reason we should know. Although we can’t find tobacco ads(广告) on TV or newspapers, there are many other ways for teenagers to see tobaccos. Today we can see actors and actresses smoking in the movies and soap operas. Also, pictures of singers and actors smoking are everywhere on the Internet. As a result, 13% of the students in the schools of Beijing think smoking makes them look cooler. “Did you see Chow Yun Fat in the movie God of Gamblers（赌神）? Smoking makes him so manly and cool! If I can smoke, I’ll look fantastic, too.” said a 13-year-old boy student.
How can we make things better? First of all, stars shouldn’t smoke in their programs too often. And news about stars and singers smoking should also become less. The less teenagers see their favorite stars smoke, the less they want to smoke themselves. Schools and families must take actions, too. Teachers and parents mustn’t smoke in front of the students or kids. And we should let teenagers know the bad things about tobaccos. We can also have people share ideas about tobacco control in schools, so students can join the action.

B． |
C． |
D． |
| A．The Reasons Why We Smoke | B．Smoking Is Cool in Movies |

9 . Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women have jobs are healthier than housewives.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss(丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses.
Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.
1. People who have no jobs are ________ than job-holders.| A．in poorer health | B．happier | C．healthier | D．busier |
| A．People who are busy have a lot of money. |

10 . 
It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced(浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. "I thought you preferred the sea to being on land."
"I do," replied the Captain. "But these forests are under the sea." During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits(潜水服)that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colorful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colors of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred meters under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred meters deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The "trees" in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical(垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs(灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.
