(2016·長(zhǎng)春市質(zhì)檢)It's hard to talk to Dad sometimes. His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him. And he seemed to want to stay that way too.
But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull_back_the_curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it.
Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a muchthought, threepage letter. Dad, a 68yearold retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that“l(fā)ife will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns”.
I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened it up earlier but was grateful it wasn't too late. I cried because at 33, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I just had to hit “Send”.
We've since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems haven't been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. It's hard to talk to dads sometimes, but I'm glad I found a way to talk to mine.

(2016·南昌市模擬)China's admiration of outstanding scholars has turned the wellpreserved childhood home of Tu Youyou, the Chinese pharmacologist (藥理學(xué)家) who won Nobel Prize in Physiology (生理學(xué)) or Medicine, into a popular tourist destination.
Since it was announced on Monday that 85yearold Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win this international prize, her former home in the old town of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, has attracted visitors, especially parents and their children — even though it is not open to the public.
The house, where Tu lived until she went to university in Beijing, covers an area of 2,200 square meters and is priced at 150 million yuan ($23.6 million). It is part of a complex of 37 traditional buildings, including several cityanddistrictlevel cultural relic preservation sites, that have been transformed into a highend art and commercial zone.
“There are continually parents taking their children, from infants in strollers to college students, to take photos in front of Tu's former home. Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock，” said Mr. Zhao, a salesperson from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co.
Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei, who was on a trip to Ningbo, took her 9yearold son to walk around the complex on Wednesday. “Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers. Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities (名人) is a way to inspire them to study harder，” Xu said.
Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012. Tourists started visiting Mo's former home in rural Gaomi, Shandong Province, in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize. Some even pulled the radishes planted in front of the house and carried away some bricks.
5.Tu Youyou's former house is now popular mainly because ________.
A.Tu won the Nobel Prize
B.it has some cultural relics
C.it covers a large area

B.More Chinese have won the Nobel Prize.

D.Children benefit from visiting Nobel Prize winner's home. C
(2016·長(zhǎng)沙四校模擬)Can you imagine an engineer building a tall skyscraper without a plan? Someone said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Success is no accident. It doesn't just magically happen. You have to plan for it to happen. As one guy put it, “You must plan for a great future. After all, you have to spend the rest of your life there.” We must have some kind of plan of what we want and how we'll get it.
You see, if you achieve nothing, you'll hit it every time. A wise person said, “If you've accomplished everything you've planned in life, then you've probably not planned enough. You're getting too old when all your dreams are reruns (重演).”
The very successful head of the Chrysler Corporation, Lee Iacocca, used to ask his workers, “What do you want to do? What do you want to be? What do you want to have? Where do you want to go? How do you plan to get there? Write it down. Now go to do it. It doesn't get any simpler or better than that.”
So why not start living your life on purpose? First dream it, and then do it. They say that one hour of planning will save you three hours of wasted time and work. With a plan, your work is working for you. Your plan will keep you in control of your life, moving ahead toward your goal of success and happiness.
After you plan your work, you have to make your plan work. Discipline is what brings your dreams into real life. A dream with no discipline will just remain a dream, and a plan without work will be a plan that won't work.
9.We should live our life on purpose because ________.
A.making a plan reduces the cost of our work
B.making a plan leads us to get close to success
C.we can finish our work easily with a good plan
D.making a plan lets us achieve our goals immediately
10.We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A.planning your work is the most important
B.discipline makes up for an imperfect plan
C.one will fail if he makes a plan without carrying it out
D.everyone needs a detailed plan in order to realize his dream
11.What's the best title for the text?
A.Never give up your dream
B.How to plan your work
C.Success requires hard work
D.Make a plan ahead of time

Ecofriendly Car Racer
Can you image a car racer is so ecofriendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp (大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The oneseater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry. It is sold at ￡ 41,000.
Pollutionsensitive Dress
Don't be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollutionsensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress — which is actually quite pretty — looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won't do you any favor if you're meeting with clients.
Ecofriendly Umbrella
Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it's changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This ecofriendly design is more flexible. It's actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.
Ecofriendly Moss (苔蘚) Carpet
It's said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (濕度) of the bathroom makes sure that it grows well. And that's why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.
12.According to Paragraph 1, we can find Eco One________.
A.can seat one passenger and one driver
B.is mainly made from some kinds of plants
C.can't be afforded by the public at present
D.will take the place of the traditional car industry
13.Why is EPA Dress designed?
A.To advise people to stay at home as often as possible.
B.To make women look pretty even in the polluted air.
C.To stop people from meeting their clients if necessary.
D.To keep users informed of the polluted levels in the air.
14.Compared with traditional umbrellas, the Ecofriendly Umbrella________.
A.is changeable
B.can be folded
C.hasn't any surface
D.is made of newspapers
15.Where does the text probably come from?

Dear David，
I'm glad that you've noticed our efforts directed towards environmental protection. Thanks your concern.
Although too much use of plastic bags has caused serious white pollution, our government encouraged us to use environmentallyfriendly shopping bags. These bags are made of a variety of material that can be easily treated when they become a rubbish. Besides, they can be reused. Realized the advantages of such bags, more and more people have started using it.
I believe that the widely use of these shopping bags can improve their environment. This is one of the many steps we take to make our country an even clean place.
Sincerely yours，

(2016·長(zhǎng)春市質(zhì)檢)It's hard to talk to Dad sometimes. His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him. And he seemed to want to stay that way too.
But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull_back_the_curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it.
Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a muchthought, threepage letter. Dad, a 68yearold retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that“l(fā)ife will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns”.
I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened it up earlier but was grateful it wasn't too late. I cried because at 33, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I just had to hit “Send”.
We've since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems haven't been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. It's hard to talk to dads sometimes, but I'm glad I found a way to talk to mine.

Since it was announced on Monday that 85yearold Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win this international prize, her former home in the old town of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, has attracted visitors, especially parents and their children — even though it is not open to the public.
The house, where Tu lived until she went to university in Beijing, covers an area of 2,200 square meters and is priced at 150 million yuan ($23.6 million). It is part of a complex of 37 traditional buildings, including several cityanddistrictlevel cultural relic preservation sites, that have been transformed into a highend art and commercial zone.
“There are continually parents taking their children, from infants in strollers to college students, to take photos in front of Tu's former home. Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock，” said Mr. Zhao, a salesperson from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co.
Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei, who was on a trip to Ningbo, took her 9yearold son to walk around the complex on Wednesday. “Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers. Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities (名人) is a way to inspire them to study harder，” Xu said.
Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012. Tourists started visiting Mo's former home in rural Gaomi, Shandong Province, in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize. Some even pulled the radishes planted in front of the house and carried away some bricks.

(2016·長(zhǎng)沙四校模擬)Can you imagine an engineer building a tall skyscraper without a plan? Someone said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Success is no accident. It doesn't just magically happen. You have to plan for it to happen. As one guy put it, “You must plan for a great future. After all, you have to spend the rest of your life there.” We must have some kind of plan of what we want and how we'll get it.
You see, if you achieve nothing, you'll hit it every time. A wise person said, “If you've accomplished everything you've planned in life, then you've probably not planned enough. You're getting too old when all your dreams are reruns (重演).”
The very successful head of the Chrysler Corporation, Lee Iacocca, used to ask his workers, “What do you want to do? What do you want to be? What do you want to have? Where do you want to go? How do you plan to get there? Write it down. Now go to do it. It doesn't get any simpler or better than that.”
So why not start living your life on purpose? First dream it, and then do it. They say that one hour of planning will save you three hours of wasted time and work. With a plan, your work is working for you. Your plan will keep you in control of your life, moving ahead toward your goal of success and happiness.
After you plan your work, you have to make your plan work. Discipline is what brings your dreams into real life. A dream with no discipline will just remain a dream, and a plan without work will be a plan that won't work.
9.We should live our life on purpose because ________.
A.making a plan reduces the cost of our work
B.making a plan leads us to get close to success
C.we can finish our work easily with a good plan
D.making a plan lets us achieve our goals immediately
10.We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A.planning your work is the most important
B.discipline makes up for an imperfect plan
C.one will fail if he makes a plan without carrying it out
D.everyone needs a detailed plan in order to realize his dream
11.What's the best title for the text?
A.Never give up your dream
B.How to plan your work
C.Success requires hard work
D.Make a plan ahead of time

Ecofriendly Car Racer
Can you image a car racer is so ecofriendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp (大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The oneseater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry. It is sold at ￡ 41,000.
Pollutionsensitive Dress
Don't be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollutionsensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress — which is actually quite pretty — looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won't do you any favor if you're meeting with clients.
Ecofriendly Umbrella
Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it's changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This ecofriendly design is more flexible. It's actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.
Ecofriendly Moss (苔蘚) Carpet
It's said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (濕度) of the bathroom makes sure that it grows well. And that's why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.
12.According to Paragraph 1, we can find Eco One________.
A.can seat one passenger and one driver
B.is mainly made from some kinds of plants
C.can't be afforded by the public at present
D.will take the place of the traditional car industry
13.Why is EPA Dress designed?
A.To advise people to stay at home as often as possible.
B.To make women look pretty even in the polluted air.
C.To stop people from meeting their clients if necessary.
D.To keep users informed of the polluted levels in the air.
14.Compared with traditional umbrellas, the Ecofriendly Umbrella________.

Dear David，
I'm glad that you've noticed our efforts directed towards environmental protection. Thanks your concern.
Although too much use of plastic bags has caused serious white pollution, our government encouraged us to use environmentallyfriendly shopping bags. These bags are made of a variety of material that can be easily treated when they become a rubbish. Besides, they can be reused. Realized the advantages of such bags, more and more people have started using it.
I believe that the widely use of these shopping bags can improve their environment. This is one of the many steps we take to make our country an even clean place.
Sincerely yours，
