Ms. Fridono knows what an impact her beloved dog can have. She herself was severely disabled since her teens

4、. Having Ricochet around lifts her spirits, and inspires her to conquer her pain to get on the board. “Ricochet has taught me to focus on what I can do, rather than what I cant,” she said.One of those who have benefited from Ricochets skills is six-year-old Ian McFarland. In 2008 a car crash left hi

5、m with brain damage. Although he had loved surfing before the accident, he was too nervous to go back into the water.

9、Never before in Chinese history has a documentary film aroused so much public enthusiasm. Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary

10、(烹饪) landscape.According to Taobao, Chinas biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialities, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham

11、 producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.However, one cant help but believe that the documentarys popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wo

12、nder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film .Formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long” A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chinese proud ends like t

13、his: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in peoples lives. Yet Chinas food industry is a typical description of “bad money driving out the good”. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take

14、the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didnt work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations. As th

15、e documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China

16、-it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.5. The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means_.A. beautiful clothes B. latest technology C. delicious food D. great inventions6. The second paragraph mainly talks about_.A. the producer of

17、 the document B. the content of the documentC. the history of Chinese gourmet D. The popularity of the document7. We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well received article that _.A. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food cultureB. there is a huge contrast betwe

18、en the ancient food culture and the realityC. the price of food is too high for many common peopleD. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director8. According to the passage, Chinas food industry is full of faking and cheating because_.A. there are still so many poor people at the pres

19、ent timeB. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isnt serious enoughC. the Chinese government encourages it to do soD. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countriesCFor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early mo

20、rning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “Youll feel great.” Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex

21、could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, Im not alo

22、ne in my opinion. First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had somethin

23、g else to worry about. Jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me. Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. Jogging is

24、also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt. And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasnt just the first week;it was practically every day for two m

25、onths. I never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? I dont jog any more, and I dont think I ever will. Im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and tha

26、t feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. Im getting exercise, and Im enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and Ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.9. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.A. heart attacks B. bac

27、k problems C. famous joggers D. physical weaknesses10. What was the writers attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try. B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it. D. He thought it must be painful.11. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He

28、 disliked doing exercise outside. B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack. D. He was worried about being left alone.12. From the writers experience, we can conclude that_.A. not everyone enjoys jogging B. he is the only person who hates joggingC. noth

29、ing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sportDHave you got a Facebook account? Are you thinking of getting one? Jamie Simmonds has just signed up. Lets see how shes getting along.My Diary MONDAY: Im officially a Facebooker. I find a few peop

Get ready to leave. Change my mind and check my Facebook page.again. I am becoming addicted to it! I th

36、ink its time to end it all before it takes over my life. I delete my account. Back to good, old, simple emails. Oh, look, Ive got a message.

41、选项中有两项为多余选项。Procrastination (拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till its too late. 16 Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success. Break your work down into l

42、ittle parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further. 17 Change your environment. Look at your work desk

43、 and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy? 18 Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. Thats because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back

44、 until its too late. 19 In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date. 20 Im pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, youll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence

As the two friends walked down the street, Devin asked, “Does he always treat you so 26?” “Yes, 27, he does,” Johnson responded. “And are you always so 28 and friendly to him?” “Yes,

Is it your circumstances or the difficult people in your life that determine your 33? When we allow

50、 our conflicts to 34 us, we behave as if getting rid of our difficulties is our only priority. 35, it doesnt really matter how we treat one another.
