Sydney is Australia’s most exciting city. The history of Australia begins here. In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1,024 passengers (including 770 prisoners) from Britain. Today there are 2.5 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney. Its warm summer and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants (移民) from overseas. There are three things that make Sydney famous－its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House.

But there are many more interesting things in Sydney: beautiful shops and restaurants, for example, rows of interesting old houses built everywhere in the 19th century. Summer or winter, day or night, Sydney is an outdoor city.

Some Americans think it is very British. Some British visitors think it is like America. There is some truth in both these opinions, because Sydney takes from both the Old World－Europe, and the New World－America, and makes itself into something that is neither British nor American but truly Australian.

1.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Sydney is a silent city B. Sydney is a busy city

C. Sydney is a new city D. Sydney is a common city

2.The climate in Sydney is .

A. hot in summer and cold in winter B. warm all the year round

C. neither too hot nor too cold D. cool all through the year

3.The writer thinks Sydney .

A. is like America

B. is very British

C. is neither British nor American but truly Australian

D. takes from Europe

What are American high schools like? Well, I’m happy to tell you what I know.

When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished I’d known about it earlier.

Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school.

There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.

It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bricks. For other classes, we only need binders (活頁夾) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn.

Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.

I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.

1.What was the writer sad for?

A. He was late for school.

B. He missed the trip at the beginning of school.

C. He didn’t know anyone.

D. American students looked down upon him.

2.Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?

A. To attend class. B. To share a classroom.

C. To have fun. D. To meet teachers.

3.How do teachers in the US teach the students?

C. Some use textbooks; some teach freely. D. They always teach as required.

4.According to the passage, in American high schools, ________.

A. you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat

B. you’ll be punished if you do not finish your homework

C. students are better at school work than Chinese students

D. students care much about the grades they get

Years ago， I lived in a building in a large city. The next building only was a few feet away from mine. They was a woman lived there， and I had never met her， yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon， sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by， I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat， including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning， I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way， the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看見). Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批評) her dirty window， but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart， through my own shortcomings? Since then， whenever I wanted to judge (評判) someone， I asked myself first， “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

1.The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because __________.

A. the woman’s window was dirty B. the writer’s window was dirty

C. the woman lived nearby D. the writer was near-sighted

2.The writer was surprised that _________.

A. the woman was sitting by her window

B. the woman’s window was still terrible

C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon

D. the woman’s window was clean

3.“It dawned on me” probably means “_______”.

A. I began to understand it B. it cheered me up

C. I knew it grew light D. it began to get dark

4.From the passage， we can learn _______.

A. one shouldn’t criticize others very often

B. one should often make his windows clean

C. one must judge himself before he judges others

D. one must look at others through his dirty windows.

It's not right for an adult to leave a child locked in a parked car in the burning heat while they chat with a friend or do anything else without supervising their child. This kind of behavior is so wrong that states have even carried out laws allowing good citizens to rescue trapped kids. Unluckily one Georgia man learned that these laws aren't true to pets after he decided to save a dog and was arrested(逮捕).

According to a story from USA Today, Michael Hammons, used his wife's wheelchair leg to break the window of a parked car after hearing from bystanders that there was a dog inside.

One witness(目擊者)told reporters that“if it is 80 degrees outside, within 30 minutes, it will be 114 degrees inside a car, even with the windows broken.” Bystanders had reportedly already phoned 911 before and were waiting for police to arrive, but for Hammons there was no time to lose.

Police were forced to take action after the owner of both the dog and car came out of the store and requested police arrest Hammons. Oconee County Chief Deputy Lee Weems told USA Today, “We would not have made those charges on our own.” But the owner of the car insisted that Hammons be charged with criminal trespassing(非法入侵). The dog's owner said that she had only been gone five minutes, even though bystanders said it was actually much longer. No matter how long it actually was, the decision to leave her dog locked in a car in 80 degree weather wasn't a bright one on her part. Interestingly enough, USA Today reports that Georgia state law does allow a person to break a window to save a child in a hot or cold car, just not a pet.

1.What does the underlined word “supervising” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Watching. B. Raising.

C. Feeding. D. Helping.

2.The police arrested Hammons according to________.

A. the car owner's evidence B. a witness' words

C. their own judgment D. the Georgia state law

3.What do we know about Hammons?

A. He was praised by his wife.

B. He knew the law well before the rescue.

C. He saved the dog at the request of bystanders.

D. He used a wheelchair to break the car window.

4.What's the main idea of the text?

A. A witness reported an accident to the police.

B. A man saved a dog but got arrested.

C. A dog was saved from a hot car.

D. A woman found her car broken

Do you want to improve your quality of life? Here is some advice.

1．Make it a point to do something brave every day. 1. This might mean talking to someone that you generally wouldn't talk to or starting a project that you feel afraid of. There is no need to plan it in advance.

2．Learn something new. Pick a topic, especially something you know nothing about and learn something about it. 2. It helps to keep it if you have time to make a note of what you learned.

3．Debate something. If you think you know about something, nothing will prove it like arguing(辯論)it with someone who's smarter than you. 3. This is easier said than done, but it can provide you with some of the best possible ideas.

4．Spend time with a child. 4. If you don't, I'm sure you have friends who would be happy to let you borrow theirs for a few minutes. It doesn't matter what age they are, children see the world entirely different. Look at it from their eyes. Enjoy the simple things again.

5．Recognize what makes you happy. 5. Everyone is working towards something, but what makes you happy now? Think of it and try to add more of what made you happy yesterday to today.

A．If you have one, consider yourself lucky.

B．Talking with little children keeps you young.

C．Actually, happiness is a true feeling from our heart!

D．Find a friend you can debate with who has different ideas.

E．Look back to the parts of your day that bring you real happiness.

F．A good source of new information for this can be the newspaper.

G．Step out of your comfort zone and leave the routine(慣例)for a second.
