1 . What can we learn about the man’s new roommate?

3 . We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn't receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel like they've been “left in the dust”. But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?

Those of us who value friendships and close working relationships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away. Jealousy is only natural, but It’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends' progress, so you shouldn't feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses, and nor should they treat you sharply for furthering your work.

On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.

Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a position-raising, or experienced pay cuts which meant they didn't get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.

Perhaps a step forward in your work has meant that you don't spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you've changed a post or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Chances are that in the build-up to your success you've built strong relationships along the way. Don't let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.

Dad’s birthday usually falls in June, near Father’s Day. Last year, they were even on the same day. I thought this was unfair for my dad to only have one special day in June. My friends’ dads had Father’s Day parties in June or birthday parties in difference months. I thought of a way to fixing this problem. I would surprise Dad on autumn with Dad’s Day. I talk to my mom about cooking a breakfast for Dad. She showed to me how to cook eggs and make bread. I made special card for Dad. I was careful to keep my plan secretly. One day in October, I woke up early, cooked Dad’s breakfast and took it to his room with my card. She loved the surprise very much.

5 . In 2014 my best friend's mother died of cancer. It was a tragedy, but as usual, Alice, my mother, used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet. If you asked my friends about my mother, they would say, “That woman has a heart of gold.” I agree one hundred percent.

About six years ago my mum decided to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a teacher. She knew it would be hard work raising three kids, doing housework and studying at the same time. However, she believed it would pay off. What my mother didn't realize was that not all things pay off in this world. After four hard years of school, she graduated on a warm spring day. It was unbelievable. My aunt drove up from Virginia to celebrate this fantastic day. It was the first time I had ever cried from being happy.

It's strange how fast a life can change. Two months later, the unpredictable happened. My mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症). I could not believe this could happen after all the good she had done for people. I was very confused and cried every day. My faith in God just disappeared and so did my mum's dream of becoming a teacher.

Then, I decided I must move on with my life and accept the fact that she might never get better. Since my decision was made, I have become more mature, responsible and active in school and work. I have found a wonderful girlfriend with whom I plan to spend the rest of my life. Through the years I have always been able to change negative situations into positive ones. I'm happy with my life now.

D．changed negative situations into positive ones unwillingly

3. What may be the best title for the text?

C．Belief in Good Luck Around Me	D．How to Become a Responsible and Active Man

6 . It was about seven years ago. I just picked up my three­year­old daughter from the nursery. I was weighed down with shopping bags, and with my daughter’s things. We arrived at a pedestrian crossing and she pressed the button. In the distance, I heard alarms, told my daughter to wait and watched a police car approaching.

Little did I know, as the_green_man flashed, that my daughter had begun to run into the road. I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.

I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past. She wondered why you had blown your horn, asking, “Mom, why was that woman so rude？” not realizing you had saved her life.

She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road. I should have followed my “wait” with a hand on her shoulder, or an explanation of why we were ignoring the green man this time, especially as I had in effect conditioned her to cross the road at the sight of the green flash.

I beat myself up for months, and still do, with flashbacks and horrible assumptions about what might have been. But for your sounding your horn, seeing what I hadn’t seen, I would have been left a mother on the other side of the road, totally broken. I apologize for putting you in that position—I can imagine that it upset you, too. You saved her life and I am so grateful.

1. What does the underlined part “the green man” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．A pedestrian.	B．A policeman.
C．A traffic sign.	D．A button.

2. Why did the woman sound her horn?

A．To stop the police car.

B．To show her impatience.

C．To greet passing pedestrians.

D．To draw the mother’s attention.

3. What can we infer from the incident?

A．The mother didn’t regret what had happened.

B．The daughter didn’t follow the traffic rules.

C．The woman responded quickly and properly.

D．The police drove beyond the speed limit.

4. How did the mother feel when taking hold of her daughter?

A．Angry and shocked.	B．Scared but relieved.
C．Guilty and confused.	D．Grateful but sad.

Then the staff _________ the process of finding my birth mother. But the process was _________ and I didn't expect there would be many complex procedures.

8 . When I sent my daughter, Emma, off for her freshman year of college a few years ago, I found myself affected by an unbelievable feeling of melancholy. Clearly, I'm not alone. Just last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that more than 90 percent of colleges offer to help moms and dads who are “struggling with the change.”

Between Thanksgiving, winter holiday, spring break and summer break, the first one out of my nest has come fluttering back home nearly every month of the year since she has been away. Good friends like to joke that they see more of her now than they did when she was a senior in high school. In the meantime, Emma calls, texts or e-mails me almost every day.

Given all this, missing Emma seems kind of silly；I've never really gotten the chance. So why, then, have I still felt on some level that I've experienced a great loss?

All summer long before Emma left that first year, I took Emma out for countless mother-daughter breakfasts, lunches, coffees and walks. At the same time, I seemed to find fault with Emma all the time. In my eyes, Emma had spent the weeks leading up to school going out with her friends too much, staying out way too late, making too big a mess, not working enough and, for goodness sake, certainly not spending enough time with me!

Although it's taken quite a while to realize what was happening, I now understand that my unhappiness and anxiety are not a reflection of how much time Emma and I spend together. Regardless of how often she comes home, or how many times a day we chat or text, Emma is now gone in a far grander sense. She is well on the road to adulthood, and from this, she will never return.

1. What does the underlined word “melancholy” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Fierce anger.	B．Deep sadness.
C．Extreme excitement.	D．Great satisfaction.

2. Why does it seem silly for the author to miss her daughter?

A．They keep in touch frequently.	B．Friends like to make fun of her.
C．Emma has grown up to an adult.	D．Other parents don't behave like this.

3. What actually made the author overly worried?

A．The untidiness of Emma's room.	B．The passing of Emma's childhood.
C．Taking Emma out all too often.	D．Spending little time with Emma.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Changes in the Parent-Child Relationship	B．The Most Concerned Parents of All Time
C．Growing Pains for College Students	D．Struggling to Let Go of My Daughter

I left France with many________, so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always_______to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends_________France we enjoyed together.

10 . Dear Olivia.

As I opened my eyes this morning, I realized that you will be starting a new school year at a new school today. As we rode the elevator down I thought of so many things I wanted to say to you. They are what I've already covered in the many conversations we've had, but as a mom I can't help but feel the urge to repeat then in case you didn't hear the first time.

Floor 4: I know what it's like to be a new kid. I understand the butterflies in your stomach, but do believe in yourself. Try to make more friends.

Floor 3: Try not to look so nervous. Sometimes the simple act of smiling can be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. It is said that a picture worth a thousand words. I believe a smile is worth at least that much.

Floor 2: If at any moment today you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, just breathe. You'll be amazed how a couple of deep breaths can help you see things in a whole new light.

Floor 1: I wanted to tell you how my heart is torn between wanting to keep you at home with me all day, where I can love you and protect you, and wanting you to go out there and have experiences I can’t provide for you. Don't grow up too fast, OK?

Ground: As we exited the building for our short walk to school. I took each of your hands in nine and said, ''Just be yourself, and remember how much I love you. I'll be waiting to hear all about your experiences this afternoon. ''

I realized that's really all you need to hear.

Love,

Mom
