Some heroes, like Lucca, are not even human. Lucca is a 12-year-old dog. On April5, the German shepherd(德国牧羊犬) received an award for her brave military(军事的)service, during which she lost one of her legs.Lucca was in London to receive the Dickin Medal from a British organization, which provides free medical care to the sick and injured pets of people in need and promotes responsible pet ownership. Lucca is the first U. S. military dog to receive the medal. She and her owner traveled to London for the award ceremony.

She is the only reason I made it home to my family and I am fortunate to have served with her.During her six years of active military service, Lucca pleted more than 400 missions. She was trained to find hidden weapons and explosive devices. Luccas skills protected the lives of thousands of soldiers, and she was so effective on duty that no human soldiers were killed during any of her patrols(巡查).But Lucca did not escape injury.

She also suffered serious burns on her body, and an operation was done on her so as to save her life. Her owner had remained at Luccas side throughout her operation and her recovery, for she had saved his life on so many occasions.

He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example. Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree everyday. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also protects them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them. Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy missioners office. They have no land of their own. Sometimes, she mands him not to plant trees but he doesnt listen. Abduls 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society. Abduls neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1, 253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star hoped everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.“I cant do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech.28. What do we know about Abdul? A. He doesnt support his family B. He plants trees with his own money C. He makes a living by doing different jobs D. He plants trees to win his neighbors praise29. Why does Abdul plant trees on government land? A. To get money from government B. To set a good example to people C. To protect them from being cut down D. To get a place from government to build his own house30. Which of the following can best describe Abdul? A. Rich and reliable B. Active but dishonest C. Stubborn and stupid D . Poor but helpful31. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Planting trees B. Driving a rickshaw C. Making big money D. Building a better homeDBecause everything is always changing, children continue to need guidance and support from both parents. Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely(可能的)to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them. Peer(同龄人)pressure has always been a big part of the teens experience. Even the best father cant pletely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗)the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example. Teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church, even though Mom doesnt, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend. Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens. Fathers dont get to make those choices for them, but they can be influenced. For example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents concern on what to do when they finish high school. Should they go directly to college and, if so, where? Should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job? A fathers guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.32. Teenagers without fathers focus are more likely to _. A. have higher self-worth B. experience some dangerous things C. bee the best students in school D. resist all bad effects of peer pressure33. What does the third paragraph tell us? A. More teenagers pay no attention to their parents B. Teenagers often treat their fathers as role models C. Teenagers never attend church with their mothers D. Fewer teenagers like to attend church with their fathers34. Which can replace the underlined word “perspective” in the last paragraph? A. point of view B. job C. school D. lots of concern35. What can we learn from the text? A. Fathers should make choices for teenagers directly B. Teenagers care less about what their parents do C. Mothers have no effect on their childrens life D. Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathers第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to have a happy school lifeYour time in school should be part of the best and happiest days of your life.
