Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible. She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasure—a beautiful silk scarf.

Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves. They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning.

Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Kathy was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma, nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see. It is going to bring both of us luck today.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.

That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she had got the job. So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her. Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her.

“I’m sorry, do I know you?” Eliza asked.

“I’m sorry, dear, but you make me think of someone I once knew,” the old woman replied. “My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you’re wearing around your neck.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this be Monica, her grandmother’s childhood friend?

Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman.

“My name’s Monica, dear. I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old. I’ve been living here in California ever since.” said the old woman.

Eliza could not believe her ears …

Do you like eating processed meat? If you do, think twice now if you want to eat such meat for the sake of your health. Why? It’s because eating processed meat can cause cancer, World Health Organization (WHO) experts said last Monday.

Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by salting, smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France studies 800 patients. The experts connected processed meat, such as hot dogs and bacon, with at least three kinds of cancer. A person who eats 50 grams of processed meat per day—about two pieces of bacon—increases his or her risk of bowel(肠) cancer by 18 percent.

The IARC has included processed meat in its Group 1 list, for which there is “enough evidence” of connection with cancer. Tobacco is also on the Group 1 list.

WHO experts also say red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, is “probably” carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans. Dr. Kurt Strait is with the IARC. He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a person eats. Health experts in some countries advised against eating large amounts of red and processed meat. But those suggestions had been centered on the increased risk of heart disease and obesity.

However, meat industry groups protest the result of the WHO study. They say that meat is part of a balanced diet. They also say the causes of cancer are broad, and include environment and lifestyle factors.

The WHO report cites the Global Burden of Disease project, which shows that diets high in processed meat lead to 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.

29. It can be inferred that the items on the Group 1 list of the IARC ________.

A. are all processed foods

B. aren’t often eaten by people

C. can be the most dangerous to humans

D. can greatly increase the risk of cancer

30. What can take the place of the underlined word “protest”?

A. Learn from B. Disagree with C. Take interest in D. Pay attention to

31. What can be used as the best title of the passage?

A. WHO: Processed Meat Can Cause Cancer

B. The Importance of Having a Balanced Diet

C. Eating Too Much Red Meat Is Bad for Humans

D. Scientists Found the Causes of Some Kinds of Cancer

D

Who is your role model? Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you find truly inspiring. It could also be someone like J.K. Rowling or Martin Luther King Jr. who has proven to be strong and intelligent person.

However, in today’s world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate their actions for two major reasons. First, to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture, and second, because stars’ actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our attention and turns it to following stars’ lives. Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren’t right for teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.

However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We can’t always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have control over yourself and only you choose to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.

Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight. With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated. These people influence teens whether or not they want to. Why should someone who doesn’t want to be setting an example set one? So, should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It’s our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong, and it’s time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so, we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them.

32. The teens like to imitates stars in order to _________.

A. know more about stars’ stories B. be accepted by society

C. be reported by the media D. become more fashionable

33. According to the author, the role the media play in setting examples to teenagers is__________.

A. reasonable（合理的） B. inspiring（鼓舞人心的）

C. positive（积极的） D. negative（消极的）

34. The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teenagers to _______.

A. keep a balance between study and entertainments

B. be responsible for their own choices and behaviors

C. follow fashionable stars’ steps to be more popular

D. choose their role models through different reports

35. What does the underlined phrase “step into the spotlight” mean in the 4th paragraph?

A. enter a place with a spotlight. B. get the attention of the media.

C. lose interest in the media. D. react properly to the media.

How to Be Grateful

Has your mother or best friend told you that you’re an ungrateful person? 36 Do you keep thinking about the things you don’t have, instead of being thankful for what you do have? If so, then you need to work on being a more grateful person.

● 37 Every Sunday, get a notebook and sit outside for fifteen minutes while making a list of all of the things you're thankful for.

●Be grateful for your friendships. 38 You may come to think that your friends are kind and they’re just there, like the couch in your living room. If you take your friends for granted for too long, then they will slowly make their way out of your life.

●Be grateful to your family. Your family is another thing you should be grateful to. Your parents might have even been the people who tell you that you should be more grateful. 39 . Don’t let a day go by without telling your family how much you love them.

● 40 Throughout history, imagine how many people have contributed to where you are now. Realizing that you couldn’t be what you are now if it weren’t for all of these people is an important step in being a grateful person.

B. Friendships are very important in our life.

C. Be grateful for all of the good deeds done for your benefit.

D. Many people are guilty of taking their friends for granted.

作文

Dear Li Lei,

I am writing to you because I think I have something really serious to communicate with you.

I noticed that recently you often went to the Internet Bar and the Internet Center together with several friends. Sometimes, you even didn’t have classes in order to play with your friends. Being one of your best friends, I’m very worried about you.

Friends play an important part in one’s life. We have to choose our friends carefully. True friends will never ask us to do something wrong. I don’t think the friends around you are your true friends.

It’s time for you to think about the problem I talked about above. And I do hope you will make a wise decision soon.

Yours,

Li Hua
