But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus，even when Im so angry.We are family.That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh，blood and bones in our body.And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond.Second，to be honest，no matter how far apart we are on your life choices，your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education.But that doesnt mean you deserve it. To be clear，that is a privilege (优待) we happily extend(给予) to younot a right you are born with.And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege.Growing up is hard work.If I do my job properly as your motherand you do yours as my childrenyou would sooner get a job or two，and find a way to make your dreams come true rather than go to trial（接受审判） over what you think you are entitled to.Love always，Mom1The mother writes this letter because she wants her children to .Abe prepared for education Blearn a lesson from the caseCtake up the legal profession Dremember Rachel Canning2When in disagreement，the mother expects her children not to .Aguarantee anything Bbreak the family bondCscream out their anger Dforget their best interests3The mother thinks of parents paying for their childrens higher education as .Aa way in which children realize their dreamsBa test of whether parents love their childrenCa right that parents are born withDa privilege that children should earnBBees play a vital role in the world. Unfortunately, bees are dying by the second.The main purpose of bees is to make honey. Honey，shockingly, does not exist for human consumption; it is essential to the insects. Honeybees store honey in their hives (蜂箱) in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period. They collect pollen (花粉) which supplies protein for young bees to grow.According to National Honey Board, the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honeybee pollination are valued at more than $14.6 billion per year. These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today, including apples, grapes, coffee, beans，and broccoli.So if they are so valuable to agriculture, why do they keep dying off? A key suspect seems to be pesticides (农药)Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the damage to their neurological (神经系统的) functions, specifically memory or behavior. And thats why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. There are several other causes of the decline of bees，including the destruction of natural habitats, like woodlands，forests, and other habitats for bees. Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bee population.Actually, there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow. One way is to start your own organic garden by planting beefriendly plants. Pesticides are used in both industrial practices and even in your home, so it is best to find organic seeds and weed killers.4Why do honeybees store honey in their hives?ATo provide enough honey for humans to consume.BTo draw protein out of honey for young bees.CTo strengthen bee muscles and heat hives in winter.D To help attract other insects and make hives stronger.5Apples and beans are mentioned in the third paragraph to show that .Abees are of great importance to fruits and vegetablesBbees mainly live on these agricultural cropsCbees supply human beings with basic food Dbees can bring in more money for farmers every year6What is most likely to cause the worker bees to leave their hives behind?AThe abuse of pesticides. BThe lack of food.CThe fighting among bees. DThe destruction of the habitats.7What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?AOther tips for choosing seeds. BAnother way to save bees.CMore methods to plant green organic fruits. DCauses of the decline in the wild bee population.C“Can I hug you？”community nurse Joyce Jebambula asks with a smile as she welcomes me back to her village.“Of course，” I say as I put my arms around her.Its an unbelievable moment.Just at the height of the outbreak more than a year ago，there was an “avoid body contact” rule here.Its now been removed.One of the most challenging parts of reporting this outbreak over the past 18 months is that I havent been able to touch anyone in the worstaffected countries.When Ebola (埃博拉病毒) survivors described in tears losing their families，I had to almost sit on my hands to avoid reaching out to comfort them.The outbreak was declared over in Sierra Leone on November 7.I returned for the celebrations.But despite reaching this longawaited milestone，all is not well.Ibrahim Koroma, 21，clings to his survivors certificate（证书） outside the home.All 17 of his family are now dead.The certificate is one of his most prized possessions. “He does not pose any risk to the community.” it reads.Ibrahim tells me how his landlord has allowed him to stay in one of the rooms of his former family home until the end of the year.He says he doesnt know what hell do after that.He does some parttime work，relying heavily on help from neighbours.His two little sisters and little brother died in the very room where he now sleeps.He says he often lies awake thinking of them，feeling very bad.The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the worst on record.In past outbreaks there had only been a few hundred deaths and a few hundred survivors.It was thought that Ebola could live for only three months.But research has now shown it can linger for at least nine months.Scientists are still trying to find how long it could be infectious.8What does the author think of hugging Joyce?AUnbelievable. BNegative. CIllegal. DOrdinary.9When interviewing Ebola survivors，the author .Akept comforting them with hands Bcouldnt touch them with handsCheld their hands to show sympathy Dcouldnt help comforting them with hands10Ibrahim Koroma values his certificate because it .Ais a sign of his contributions Bhas been the only one for him so farC shows he is a healthy person Dis a great honor to have it in his village11We can learn from the passage that .AEbola can only survive a few days BIbrahims neighbours treat him badlyCthere were once 17 people in Ibrahims family DEbola still influences Ibrahims lifeD I sat in my seat as my new grade six classmates found theirs. In the front of the class stood our new math teacher, watching us. “Come on .We dont have all day. Get settled please.” The bell rang. “OK. Welcome to a new school year. Im Mr. Stevens and Im sure Ill learn all your names in no time.” He walked around the class handing out math books. When it was done, he returned to the front of the class and looked at us. We stared back. “What are you waiting for? Get started?” he said. We looked at him-confused. Wasnt he going to teach us? “Is there something wrong with your ears? Youre not all deaf, are you?” One brave boy at the back of the class asked what we all wanted to know. “Mr. Stevens, arent you going to teach us?” “Rubbish!” Mr. Stevens replied, “Youre smart kids. Open your books and get down to it. If you have any trouble or any questions, raise your hand, and Ill come to help you.” My friend Paul and I exchanged glances and opened our books to the first chapter. A competition began. Paul and I spent all our free time at home working through the lessons. Mr. Stevens, keeping his words, helped anyone who was stuck in a problem. We worked like dogs and finished two and one half math books that first year . It was a turning point in my life. Mr. Stevens made me realize I was good at math and also able to reach the top of any class I attended. Monty Pythons Flying Circus was a popular television show back then. The actors brought the best British humour(幽默)into our Canadian lives. Mr. Stevens would often act out one of their skits in front of the class. Some thought he was strange, and I guess he was, but he knew how to make a math lesson interesting.12.What was the unique style of Mr. Stevens teaching, according to the author?A.
