A big F was written on top. I was hopeless. I was stupid! My face burned with shame when my classmates called me stupid. “Im the only one who doesnt know my ABCs!” I sobbed to Mom. “Ill help,” she promised. Every day I sat with her, but to me, cat looked like cta and red was reb. Frustrated(感到挫败的), I would return to my bedroom and draw, filling the paper with houses, restaurants and offices. “When I grow up, I want my own store,” I told Mom, pointing to my drawings. “Thats great!” she said, “but first you have to learn to read.” Later, I was diagnosed with dyslexia (失读症). So Mom took me to a learning centre, where I was given reading exercises. But I still had a hard time. Finally, I graduated, but I was afraid of my reading skills. “Ill never get a job!” I cried to Mom later again. “Dont focus on what you cant do,” she comforted, “Concentrate on what you really can.” But what can I do? I wondered. Suddenly, I thought of the drawings Id made as a child and my dream of having my own store. I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years, I tried my hand at other businesses. Today, I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $15 million in sales. While Ill never be what my teachers might have wanted, I am a success-on my own terms. The other day a student sent me a card, reading: You gave me so much confidence. I hope to be like you when I am big. Tears of joy filled my eyes. This was my A, and I smiled.1. Why did the author feel so ashamed at school?A. His teacher ignored him in class.B. His teacher didnt grade his essay.C. He failed to finish his essay in time.D. His classmates looked down upon him.2. Which of the following best describes the authors feeling to his mother?A. Grateful. B. Guilty(内疚的). C. Doubtful. D. Regretful.3. Which of the following can match the text?A. No pains, no gains.B. Never too old to learn.C. Every man has his value.D. Two heads are better than one.BChinese scientists report they have made a simple printer that uses water instead of ink. The printed characters last for a day on special paper, which can then be reused. “Every time you print its fresh,” said Professor Zhang at Jilin University in Changchun, China. “We are using an inkjet printer(喷墨打印机). We just fill the cartridges (墨盒) with water and put it back. Its like normal printing. The magic is in the paper.” Printing typically involves large amounts of waste paper and expensive ink to prepare documents often read only once. This new method allows the paper to be reused numerous times at possibly cheaper running costs. Zhang and his team developed a special coating(涂层) on the paper that responds to the water. So far, they have been able to print various Chinese and English characters using four colors, with water as a key that activate the dye molecule (染料分子). The next step is to combine colors to get black. The possibility of reusing paper instead of throwing it away is rousing interest, according to Kia Barton, an expert in high-performance printing technology. “Going toward greener techniques of printing is helpful,” Baton said, “For standard typing, I think its an interesting idea and something worth exploring.” Zhang foresees advances in printing technology that will allow users to have entire newspapers or magazines printed at home with paper that could be recycled over and over again. Based on 10 yuan per sheet of water-jet paper, Zhang estimates the cost at one-seventeenth the present price of inkjet printing. That may not be cheap enough, however. “Technology for making rewritable paper is exciting as a new approach for avoiding the problem of single-use paper,” said Norman Marsolan. “Because the present paper products are inexpensive, however, this new technology will have to be cost-competitive, even if it can be rewritten may times.”4. Compared with traditional printing, the new tech _.A. is more paper-savingB. attracts more usersC. uses a special printerD. produces longer-lasting characters.5. The under lined word “estimates” in Paragraph 7 means _.A. reduces B. values C. checks D. controls6. Marsolan is more concerned about the new techs _.A. effect on human lifeB. printing performanceC. typing problemsD. cost advantage7. What can be the best title of the text?A. The Rising Cost of InkB. The Importance of Reusing PaperC. New Ink-less Tech Prints with WaterD. The Magic of PaperCI came to Rio, Brazil to work one year ago. So what have I found here?l You need to learn Portuguese I started studying Portuguese about two years ago. I didnt end up improving my Portuguese as much as Id hoped before I came here. While Spanish and Portuguese are structurally quite similar, there are huge differences between the two. You cant just magically understand Brazilians if you speak Spanish.l I didnt need to bring heels Going out in cities like Buenos Aires is a big deal. You get dressed up, you do your hair, and you definitely wear heels-at least if youre going out to dance. I had no idea how wrong I was. Yes, Rio is a city, but its a city on the beach. Of course, there are fancy clubs that probably expect everyone to show up in dress shoes(时装鞋), but most of the places Ive been to are fine with sneakers(运动鞋), even for dancing.l Learning about pop music is a must Whenever I go out and a pop song comes on, every single other person there sings along to all the words. I still havent understood if there are only 25 songs that get played in public or if people really do just have a fantastic memory for lyrics, but either way, I wish Id spent a bit more time practicing Brazilian pop music so I wouldnt look like such a lost foreigner.l Airplanes are a surprisingly sensitive subject In Brazil, the credit for modern flight goes to Alberto Santos Dumont. Brazilians say the Wright Brothers use of a catapult(飞机弹射器) was technically cheating and point to their man as the real pioneer of the plane. Therefore, be careful before bringing up the subject of planes in Brazil unless youre ready for a lecture.8. What language do Brazilians speak?A. Spanish B. Portuguese C. English D. French9. What can we infer about Brazilians?A. They are fond of dancing.B. They understand Spanish.C. They are informally dressed.D. They have a good memory.10. What topic should you avoid in Rio?A. The history of planes. B. Dressing styles.C. Pop music. D. Spanish.11. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us something about Portugal.B. To share her life in Rio as a foreigner.C. To give foreigners in Rio some suggestions.D. To encourage us to learn a foreign language.DA schoolgirl saved her fathers life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.Izzy, nine, restarted father Colms heart by stamping(踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.Izzys mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR.However, she quickly discovered her arms werent strong enough, so she stamped on her fathers chest instead.Debbie then took over with some more conventional(常见的) chest compressions(按压) until the ambulance arrived.Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said：“I just kicked him really hard.
