He was at the top in every competition. He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes，teachers and sports. After some time his dad said，“Do you know son，why I am here today？”The boy answered back，“To check my grades？”“No，no，” his dad replied，“I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I dont care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”These words caused the boys eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didnt say anything to each other for a long time.Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!Thanks a lot，dad. YOU ARE MY LIFE.8.The father went to .the boarding school to.A know if he was still the best studentB find out what was wrong with his sonC ask some questions about his classmatesD talk with the boys teacher about his grades9.If we say the questions are casual，we mean they are .A unimportantB strangeC specialD difficult10.Why were the boys eyes filled with tears when he heard what his father said?A Because his father didnt care about his grades any more.B Because he hadnt had a talk with his father for a long time.C Because he had a chance to say his worries.D Because he was deeply moved by his fathers words.11.The passage mainly tells us never to_.A send a small boy to a boarding schoolB care too much about a students gradesC pay no attention to the power of caringD miss the chance to say thanks to our fathersDMore than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas，most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949.About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries，which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics，and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States，Europe，Japan and Southeast Asian countries.There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum，most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back.In some cases，private collectors donated the relics to the government.Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.In 2003，a priceless bronze pigs head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago.Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buyingback is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures，limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years，the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas.It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information.It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter，and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.12What is the passage mainly about?A How to recover cultural relics.B The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.C Stanley Ho donated a bronze pigs head to Beijing.D Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the AngloFrench Allied Army.13Most of lost Chinese cultural relics _.A have been recovered by the Chinese governmentB were bought for little money by foreignersC are owned by private collectorsD are housed in foreign museums14Which of the following statements about the bronze pigs head is NOT true?A It was made in the Qing Dynasty.B It is now in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.C It was donated by the French government to China.D It was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago.15The underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_”A possibleB difficultC popularD carefulEWinter-swimming has become popular in Beijing.
