It began to snow when my husband fell to his death, just like any November day. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up. One morning, I walked downstairs slowly and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling (鏟) my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room. And back up stairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before John’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors, I defined myself by my competence and independence. So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snowfall?
Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn't easy. Friends cooked for me and l cried because I couldn't even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I wept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. I love you and I want to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I once was，but in many ways I have changed for the better. My heart is now filled with thanks for people around me. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.
Why did the author crawl through the living room?
A. Because her knees got injured.
B. Because she felt ashamed.
C. Because she didn’t want to pay the snow remover.
D. Because she had to brush her hair.
We can describe the writer before her husband died as the following except ______.
A. smart B. independent
C. hard-working D. capable
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer’s friend was unwilling to cook for her.
B. The writer ’s death.
C. The writer recovered from her sorrow quickly with h friends’ help.
D. The day her husband died, it was snowing heavily.
The writer wrote the passage to ______.
A. share her sad story with us
B. express her guilty conscience to the people who helped her
C. tell us D. show her thanks to the people who love and support her
B
A man who owns a villa has decided to drop the asking price from $ 5,000 to a new iPhone 7 as the owner is desperate to sell before the tax auction (拍賣) season where “thousands” of homes near foreclosure (房屋止贖權(quán)) will flood into the market, a real estate broker (房地產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人) called Larry Else told ABC News.
“This house is really not worth much at all,” Else said. The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroit’s declining fortunes have left its population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau(人口普查辦公室).
Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退稅款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 7, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.
That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 6, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid (出價(jià)), and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.
This is not the end of his bartering (物物交換) business, however, as Else said that he’s already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property.
Why did the owner drop his price for the house?
A. Because the house was too old.
B. Because there is a boom in economy.
C. Because the population in Detroit is small.
D. Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.
Larry Else hasn’t come into the house because ______.’t permit it
C. it will break the company’s rule
D. he is not familiar with the area
The house will most possibly be sold at the price of ______.______.
C
Prepare: Plan ahead and think about what you are going to say. In the words of Mark Twain, it usually takes you more than three weeks to prepare for it.
Know your subject: Always make sure that you know the subject and have background information at hand for question time.
Know your audience: Find out who you will be addressing so that you can tailor (適合) your comments accordingly.

Practice: Never learn your speech by heart as your delivery will become unnatural, but do practice it a few times in front of the mirror, your parents or your dog.
Eye contact: If the thought of looking into a sea of faces scares you, adjust your gaze regularly at different points in the room to create the same effect.
First impressions: Your first impression is important when making a public presentation. Find out about dress codes at the place so that you look your best and, if possible, check the microphone beforehand to ensure you know how to use it.
Get help: If public presentations are a major part of your life, read up on the art of speech writing and delivery to improve your skills.
Knowing your subject helps you ______.
A. shorten your preparation time
B. find out who likes your presentation best

As we all know, sunshine is important to vegetables, but not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife, Guia, own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests produce fresh from the garden.
The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade plantings. He says visitors to his website — greenhousebed.com — often ask how to plant in shade spaces. He said, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other options.”
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun, it also shows how plants and trees roots can share nutrients and water. Mr. Hoffman also planted asparagus (蘆筍around a tree at its drip line (滴水線), the area below the outer limit of the branches. So when it rains, all the rain drips down right on the asparagus.
The Hoffmans’ website includes a list of vegetables, flowers and herbs that have produced acceptably for them in partial shade. Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better in partial shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem with leaf hoppers. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticides (農(nóng)藥). Instead, he planted the potatoes at the drip line, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Leaf hoppers dislike shade, and the hottest part of the day is when they do the worst of their damage.
Time of day, brightness of the sun, shadows from trees, walls and buildings, these all influence how much sunlight falls or does not fall on plants.
What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Sun can affect the production of some plants.
B. Food growing in the shade contains more nutrients.
C. Food and flowers produce more in the shade.
D. Food growing in the shade is the best choice for most plants.
By using asparagus as an example, the author wants to explain that ______.
A. asparagus prefers to grow in the shade
B. how leaves gain sunshine under the tree
C. vegetables grow better in partial shade
D. how plants and tree roots share water
The underlined words “leaf hoppers” in Para. 5 may be a kind of ______.
What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To present a kind of eco-friendly lifestyle.
B. To show vegetables can be planted in the shade.
C. To recommend an approach to managing a website.
D. To introduce Mark Hoffman and his family.

feeling: we have a lot of work to do but a momentary feeling of laziness. 36 This is either because we lack the inspiration or are not encouraged enough to start working.
37 It often leads to the worsening of one’s relationship at work and affects work performance, which can result into job loss and extra stress. How to overcome laziness? Here are some tips for overcoming it.
Simple things first. An effective trick that helps you fight laziness effectively is to start with the simple things first. 38 38
Make a to-do list. 39 A to-do list can help us to realize that it often looks like more work than it actually is. When you create your to-do list, make sure to arrange the tasks from the easiest one to the more difficult one.
Remove distractions. Distractions are often the source for our laziness. We are often attracted by the distractions (TV, internet, etc.) as we perform our tasks. 40 Make sure that once you have started with one of your tasks, you will not get distracted from it by any means.
Remember, everything you manage to overcome laziness, reward yourself.
Regard a task as an exercise.
Whatever it is that distracts you, remove it!
That will slowly but surely break your inner resistance.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation with a pile of work.
We do not feel energized and just don’t want to do particular activities.
It is important that you focus your mind on the benefits, not on the difficulties.
Though often seen as a forgivable weakness, laziness can have a number of negative
effects on a person.

Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence and 62 hesitation. 63 , we must be able to read the language and fourthly, we must be able to write it.

There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. 65 good memory is of great help, but it is not enough 66 (simple) to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their 67 (meaning). We learn words not by ourselves, 68 in sentences. We must learn by using the language. If we are satisfied with only a few rules we 69 (memorize) so far, we are not really learning the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who 70 (be) studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

Dear Tom,
How is everything going now? I am more than delighted to invite you to come to my hometown Jilin City during my winter holiday and I have organized many activities for you.
Jilin is famous for its soft rimes in winter, which is unique in China. With white and iced willows full of our eyes, I believe that will be an unforgettable experience! Besides, playing with snow and going sledding are popular with young people. What’s more, we will celebrate the most significant festival — the Spring Festival. It is a traditional custom for the whole family to make dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala together.
I really hope that you will accept my invitation. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

’ll have to be the following day.
(Text 2)
M: What’s the problem?
W: Could you tell me how I can copy this document into this disk? I’ve been trying on this computer for ages but I can’t seem to do it.
(Text 3)
W: Come on Derek. It’s time you had a break. You’ve been working since midday.
M: What time is it now then?
W: It’s seven o’clock. At least you should stop and have something to eat.
M: OK. Just for half an hour.
(Text 4)
W: I went to that new furniture store at the weekend, the one that’s like a huge supermarket.
M: Did you get anything?
W: Yes, a sofa bed, but it was hard to make a choice with all that furniture there.
(Text 5)
M: What’s your favorite weather?
W: Well, everyone likes it when it’s sunny, and I do, too.
M: How about cloudy days?
W: I really think grey clouds are beautiful! Fog is interesting, too, but it’s a bit dangerous, so I can’t say I like it.
(Text 6)
M: How many times have I told you not to take files home with you?
W: No, I didn’t, John. I left them just where you told me and…
M: But they are not here on this computer desk. Where’ve they gone? They can’t have got up and walked away.
W: Wait a minute. Sally was still here when I left. You know how she’s always tidying things away. Right, just as I thought, she put them here beside this fax machine.
(Text 7)
M: Hello, Mum, it’s me. Look, I know you must be really angry and I’m very sorry. We didn’t mean to get lost.
W: Oh Tom, it’s so good to hear your voice! We’ve been worried since the police called round. We were sure this phone call would be bad news. I mean, it’s been three days! Are you really OK?
M: Yeah, John’s got slight injuries from his fall out on the hills, but other than that, yeah, we’re doing fine.
W: Well, that’s something. When do you think you’ll be able to get home?
M: The day after tomorrow, all being well.
(Text 8)
W: I’d like to go dancing with Jane. But she’s hurt her ankle so she’d rather not.
M: I guess it means she doesn’t want to play tennis, either.
W: That’s right. She says it’s OK to go bowling if we don’t expect her to do well.
M: Let’s do it! I guess we can go dancing another time.
W: Well, I booked us some time at the bowling center of Entertainment City.
M: What time did you book for?
W: The first booking I could get was 8 o’clock. It’s 7 now. I’ll leave in ten minutes and meet you there.
M: I’ll take my car, so I’ll be quite quick. I’ll be out of here in half an hour.
W: OK. You’re so lucky to have a car! You can get around so easily.
M: Well, yes and no. I often spend ages driving around trying to find a car park.
(Text 9)
W: Hello Karl! I haven’t seen you since we both went to university.
M: Good to see you, Laura. I’m just back home for a few days.
W: Me too. How are you finding it studying in a foreign country?
M: I had to find my own accommodation, although the university was very helpful and gave me a list of apartments so it wasn’t that hard. The language isn’t a problem because my course is taught in English. But understanding the other students’ jokes isn’t easy!
W: Sounds like fun, though! Well, I’ve been in City University London for two years. I’m really concentrating on my studies at the moment because I’ve got an important essay to write. Have you thought about what you’ll do after your university course finishes?
M: I haven’t made up my mind actually.
W: You must feel lonely sometimes abroad. I thought I’d love the freedom of being away from home, but it can be hard.
M: Well, it’s normal to feel like that. Why don’t you come and visit me when you can afford it?
W: I’m really curious to see what it’s like at your university. I’ve got more than enough studying to do at the moment, though, I’m afraid.
(Text 10)
I discovered at an early age that I only did well at something if I enjoyed doing it. I didn’t like maths at school so I never got good results, but sport was different. So now I work for Electra, a company selling computer games.
My first job after leaving school was in a bike shop. Then, I decided to go to college and study engineering, but I soon gave that up because I couldn’t get enthusiastic about it. After that, I got a job working in a frozen food company. People there seemed to like the way I worked, as later they offered me the job of sales manager. I really enjoyed my time there and I managed to increase its sales greatly by improving customer service. I stayed with them for ten years before moving to join Electra.
I started working with the staff of Electra, showing them how to deal with the customers. Then I was promoted to the job of training organizer for the USA. Now I’m here in the UK and I’m the general manager. Although we haven’t introduced any new products yet, our sales figures have improved due to increased TV advertising. We’ve opening six new stores next year and although I’m busy, I enjoy feeling I’m part of the company’s success story.
