A terrible storm took place in a Friday night. The wind was so strong that many trees were brought down. It is eleven o'clock. Li Ming, one of my best friend, was still not back and his parents were very anxious about them. Half an hour later, the wind stopped, but it was still raining hardly. Li Ming’s parents were about to look for him then he came home. Li Ming explained that the storm pushed over big trees as well as electricity poles, blocked the roads and that the bridge had washed away by the floods. Therefore, Li Ming and his classmates had to find another way back. What was even more worse, one of his classmates had a arm hurt. So they took him to the hospital.

2 . The Sweetest Thing

When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town___________with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favorite candy on the shelf.

Once there, thinking about all things sweet I noticed a man a few feet away pushing buttons on the ATM machine. Dressed in a suit, he seemed to be late for something,___________waiting for his cash to appear. The machine made a noise, and he immediately___________a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously, I walked over to the ATM, where I started pressing the buttons as if knowing the___________.Then I looked into the bottom of the machine. There I saw it: a beautiful, crisp $ 20 bill!___________I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear, I knew the man in the suit must have left it behind.

I held the money in my hand, staring at the number “20” and feeling_____________than I ever had. I thought about slipping the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it wasn’t___________.I knew it didn’t belong to me. I had to find its owner and give it back! So I told my mom what had happened. “We’ll look for him.” she said kindly. We rushed out and found him stepping into his car in the parking lot! We___________him and asked whether he had left money at the cash machine. “Let me___________,” he said, pulling out his wallet and bills. “Twenty, forty, eighty...Oh! You’re right,” he said with surprise, “I’m____________a $20 bill.”

“Here you go,” I said, smiling with pride, as if I was a(n)____________who had solved a mystery. “Thank you so much,” he said, bending down and shaking my hand. My heart____________with happiness. Before saying goodbye, he asked my mom for my name and____________. “I want to send your daughter a thank-you card,” he said.

On my way home, my____________was racing. Twenty dollars. What could I have done with it? I bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar in town! But now____________of that would happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.

A few weeks later, I got a box with a note. I ripped it open to find packages of candy.

“Dear Felice, thank you very much for____________my $20. You are a great girl, and, appreciate your____________. I hope you enjoy this candy. Best Wishes, Tom.” Tom included his business card.

3 . What is better for you? Exercising in the great outdoors, or signing up for a gym?To try and find out, the Guardian was invited to spend a month working withfitness and sports psychology experts at Bath University and the National Trust. The concept was that participants— including me — would spend alternate weeks exercising in a gym and on National Trust land.

The first week was spent on the exercise bikes, rowing machines and treadmills (跑步机) in a gym at Bath.Getting started at the gym was easy. There was a nice community too. People are gently teasing and encouraging each other.

On the downside, it was hard to ignore the background noise ofdance and pop music. And all the machines faced screens showing music videos, rolling news and sports channels. Not a place to get away from it all.

So it was a relief in week two to head for the hills of Dyrham, a National Trust parkland full of birds and deer.

Weeks three and four followed the same pattern. The diaries I had kept, questionnaires I had filled in, and heart monitors I had worn, were then analysed by scientists from Bath University.

The findings surprise me a bit. The heart monitors showed I had consumed a similar amount of energy whether exercising in the gym or outdoors. But fitness expert Martyn Standagewas most interested in the fact that on the days when my exercise had been done outside, I used more energy through the rest of the day.Standage said this fitted with studies that suggest working out in the outdoors leads to a greater feeling of vitality (活力).

Jo Barton, who specialises in studying outdoor exercise, suggested that working out in the fresh air could be “life-changing”.“Exercising in nature lifts your mood and increases your self-respect,” she said.

My verdict? It was more fun outside but sometimes more convenient to get to the gym. A bit of both may be the way forward.

1. Which shows the author’s exercisepattern in the four weeks?

A．in the outdoors→in the outdoors→in the gym→in the gym

B．in the gym→in the gym→in the outdoors→in the outdoors

C．in the outdoors→in the gym→in the outdoors→in the gym

D．in the gym→in the outdoors→in the gym→in the outdoors

2. What can we infer about the author?

A．He used more energy when exercising indoors.

B．He felt more energetic after exercising outdoors.

C．He was very tired after finishing daily exercise.

D．He summarized the findings after the experiment.

3. What was Barton’s attitude to outdoor exercise?

A．Supportive.	B．Doubtful.
C．Tolerant.	D．Uncaring.

4. The underlined word “verdict” in the last paragraph can be understood as __________.

A．concern	B．opinion
C．chance	D．challenge

Last Sunday, I went on a hike with one of my best friend, Kevin. I got up early that morning and prepare lots of food in my lunchbox and then I went Kevin’s home to pick him up. On the way to the mountain, we enjoyed at seeing many beautiful flowers along the road. After we arrived at the mountain, all of us couldn’t help admire the natural scenery. Then he suggested that we had a race between us, what made me excited too. So I agreed immediately. In a hurry, Kevin tripped on a stone and fell all the way down. Fortunate, he got stuck on a tree and I pulled him up at last. What the day!

10 . Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... As the familiar song rings throughout every public space once again, it’s obvious that Christmas is coming. Can you still remember what gift you wanted most from Santa Claus in the past?     1     . However, he hasn’t always appeared the way we see him today.

It is said that Santa’s clothes were green at first in the early 17th century.     2    . Setting the stage for the modern-day description, in the 1860s, cartoonist Thomas Nast drew Santa Claus for the American political magazine Harper’s Weekly. In his work, Santa Claus was drawn red and complete with deer and a sleigh.     3    . In 1864, Santa Claus was described in yellow in some poems.

    4    , the most significant turning point came. Haddon Sundblom painted Santa in red coat for the campaign. It is said that the red one appeared because of the color of the company’s logo.

Due to the magical power of Coca-Cola’s advertising, the kindly, grandfatherly man in red clothes impressed people, together with the well-known slogan “The Pause That Refreshes”. Some of Sundblom’s works describing Santa Claus have also become valuable art pieces that have been exhibited in famous museums, such as the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.     5    .

A．You never expect what he looked like before

B．Santa Claus always changes the color of his clothes

C．Because the colour was thought to have the power to defeat the cold

D．So, Coca-Cola helped to solidify the image of Santa Claus in our minds

E．The kind old man often appears in a red suit with white beard and a big bag of presents

F．When the Coca-Cola Company began its Christmas advertising

G．In fact, the well-known red suit didn’t become a hit immediately then
