A traveler came out of the airport. There were a lot of taxis. He asked every taxi driver’s name. Then he took the third one.
It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel.
“How much does it cost for the whole day?” The man asked. “100 dollars,” said the taxi driver. This was very expensive, but the man said it was OK.
The taxi driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening they went back to the hotel. The traveler gave the taxi driver 100 dollars and said, “What about tomorrow? It’s another 100 dollars.” The man said, “That’s OK! See you tomorrow.” The taxi driver was very pleased.
The next day the taxi driver took the traveler everywhere again. They visited all the parks and museums again, and in the evening they went back to the hotel. The man gave the taxi driver 100 dollars again and said, “I’m going home tomorrow.” The taxi driver was sorry because he liked the traveler and, above all, 100 dollars a day was a lot of money.
“So you’re going home. Where do you come from?” he asked.
“I come from New York!” said the traveler. “I have a sister in New York. Her name is Susanna. Do you know her?” “Of course I know her. She gave me 200 dollars for you!”

| Online learning or classroom learning? | |
 By Selina | Keep in mind those school days of childhood when we did not want to get up early in the morning for school, but we had to anyway? It happens today as well. As for me, I have to waste almost one and a half hours getting ready and reaching to school every day. So I would like to take online lessons at home because I will have more time to study. |
 By Frank | Different from classroom learning, learning on the Internet isn’t limited (限制) by time and place. Students can take lessons whenever they have spare time. What’s more, it’s more convenient. The only thing the students need to do is clicking (点击) the window and they can take courses. |
 By Mike | Often, we have classmates who may not be confident enough to ask questions or say out their own doubts among the students in the classroom. With online-learning courses, they won’t be troubled by such a problem. Besides, some apps provide us more different kinds of courses that we might not have in a traditional classroom. |
 By Jessica | I prefer to study in traditional classrooms. I find it easy for me to be distracted (分心) to have classes online. I can’t help doing something that has nothing to do with my lessons. But attending a real lesson in a classroom environment can force me to be more concentrated (集中注意力) and pay more attention to what teachers are saying. What’s more, I can get face-to-face support from my classmates and teachers, which helps me solve my doubts in class better. |
| A．he is against online learning. | B．he is for online learning. |
| C．there are many steps to take online lessons. | D．time and place influence online learning a lot. |
| A．who are not confident enough. | B．who don’t have enough time. |
| C．who have strong self-control. | D．who don’t have clear study plans. |
| A．Frank’s. | B．Selina’s. | C．Mike’s. | D．Jessica’s. |
| A．A film poster. | B．A web page. | C．A notice. | D．A story book. |
Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula (公式) for success:
Dream > Believe > Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
8. Which does the writer add to the famous formula?| A．Act. | B．Achieve. | C．Connect. | D．Create. |
| A．Dangers. | B．Imaginations. | C．Wonders. | D．Difficulties. |
| A．To support his idea. | B．To ask readers to explain it. |
| C．To show what his goals are. | D．To compare it with a bridge. |
| A．Doing Something Valuable | B．Studying Hard and Making Progress |
| C．Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action | D．Separating Successful People from Dreams |
Earthquake rescue (救援) robots experienced their final tests in Beijing. The inventors of this robot said with this robot, rescuers would be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This kind of robot is able to fly. It’s about three meters long, and it took about four years to develop the model. Its main function is to collect information from the air and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped (困住) by an earthquake. It has an excellent camera which can provide very clear pictures. It can work day and night, and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher from Tsinghua University, said, “The most important character of this flying robot is that it doesn’t need a control from faraway places. We just set in it the information of the places where it should go, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. The camera, also acting as a detector (探测器) that finds trapped people and detects harmful gases, is placed in the robot, which can work in the dark. With its 10-meter-long pipe in the robot, people who are trapped in the fallen buildings will be able to get supplies including oxygen (氧气) and water.
Experts have said that the robots would enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible.
12. In what way is the robot different from others, according to Dr. Qi?| A．It has a very special shape | B．It is able to fly everywhere |
| C．It works with no information set in | D．It doesn’t need a faraway control |
| A．Detecting trapped people | B．Dealing with harmful gases |
| C．Providing oxygen and water | D．Sending goods to the quake area |
| A．It weighs about 30 kilos | B．It has not been put into use |
| C．It works only in the daytime | D．It entered production years ago |
| A．Earthquake rescue | B．The development of robots |
| C．Tests on a new robot | D．An introduction to a robot |
