He loved the people in the village and tried to help them. He planted beautiful trees near their houses, and made picnics for their children, and every Christmas he gave them a Christmas tree.But the people did not love to work. They were very unhappy because they were not rich like their friend in the castle.One day this man got up very early in the morning, and placed a large stone in the road that led past their home. Then he hid himself behind a big tree, and waited to see what would happen.Soon a poor man came along, driving a cow. He scolded because the stone lay in his path, but he walked around it and went on his way.Then a farmer came, on his way to the mill(磨坊). He complained because the stone was there, but he, too, drove around it and went on his way.So the day passed. Everyone who came by scolded about the stone, but nobody touched it.At last, just at nightfall, the millers boy came past. He was hard-working and had been busy at the mill since early morning.Seeing the stone, he said to himself, “It is almost dark. Somebody may fall over this stone in the night, and perhaps be badly hurt. I will move it out of the way.”So he tugged at the heavy stone. It was hard to move, but he pulled, and pushed, and lifted until at last he moved it from its place. To his surprise he found a bag lying under it.He lifted the bag. It was heavy, for it was filled with gold. Upon it was written, “This gold belongs to the one who moves the stone.”The millers boy went home with a happy heart, and the rich man went back to his castle. He was glad indeed that he had found someone who was not afraid to do hard things.56. What did the rich man do to help those poor villagers? A. He made their living environment more beautiful. B. He planted Christmas trees around their houses. C. He built a castle for some families. D. He prepared picnics for them.57. Nobody moved the stone out of the way because_. A. they knew the rich man would move it B. it was too dark to notice the stone C. they didnt want to do hard things D. it was too heavy to lift58. The writer tries to tell us that_. A. no pains, no gains B. accidents will happen C. actions speak louder than words D. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush 59. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Stone in the Road B. The Rich Man in the Castle C. The Poor Men in the Village D. The Poor Village near the CastleBWith 365,000 residents and almost a million people in the surrounds, Zrich(苏黎世) is the countrys biggest city. Although the citys roots go back to 15 BC, it wasnt until 1848 that the districts of Switzerland united in confederation(联邦). Today, Zrich is a world-class, international destination which attracts millions to tourists every year. The arrival of immigration has changed the citys face. Its common to find Chinese or Lebanese dishes next to a Swiss restaurant selling traditional food.Once known as a banking and business center, the city has slowly reinvented itself. The best evidence can be found in Zri West. It used to be an industrial area, and has been transformed into a place of fashionable restaurants, shops and apartments. I parked my bike at the Schiffbau, a former boat-factory that is now one of the hottest places in town. It was still early morning, and I wandered past La Salle Restaurant, where people were laying white cloth on the tables. Then, I walked over to the former Lwenbrau brewery factory, which now houses five art galleries and three museums. Traveling around Zrich by bicycle is enjoyable, and its a good idea, since parking spaces are hard to come by. There are many bike tracks along the wide, clean streets. For a deposit of CHF 20 (about US$16), visitors can get a bike for free at the bike station behind the Hauptbahnhof (main train station).The citys best shopping can be found in the area south of the train station, which offers plenty of treasures, from high-end designer clothing to the worlds best watches. Switzerland is not part of the European Union, which contributes to higher prices than many other places in Europe. At times, the prices can be shocking, such as having to pay US$11 for two small bottles of water.60. According to the passage, Zrich _. A. was firstly founded in 1848 B. is now a city with many factories C. has food from many parts of the world D. remains unchanged in spite of the arrival of immigrants61. Which of the following shows that the city has reinvented itself? A. It attracts tourists from all over the world. B. It is known as a banking and business center. C. Travelling around the city by bicycle is enjoyable. D. A former factory is now used to display art works.62. Why are the prices higher in Switzerland than in many other parts of Europe? A. The goods here are of highest quality. B. It is difficult to find places for shopping. C. People in Switzerland are extremely rich. D. Switzerland doesnt belong to the European Union.63. Where are you most likely to find this article? A. In a magazine about fashion. B. In a book about popular science. C. In the geography textbook. D. On a tour website.CA teenage soldier, who was turned into a human fireball in a petrol bomb attack in Iraq, has battled back to fitness to complete amazing 126 marathons(马拉松). Karl Hinett, 27, has covered more than 6,650 miles across five continents, including marathons at both the North and South Pole.Karl was only 19 when he almost died during an operation in Iraq in 2005. He was inside a tank which was attacked by enemies. An image of him rolling down the front of the tank covered in flames as he escaped from the tank made headlines around the world. While the other four soldiers in the tank escaped serious injury, Karl received 37 percent burns. He underwent five years of painful skin grafts (移植) and operations. After being discharged from hospital, he set himself the challenge of running an astonishing 200 marathons by the time he turns 30.He started the London Marathon in 2007, and after running 126 marathons in seven years, including events in Helsinki, Miami and Tokyo, he looks to be right on for his target. He has already raised more than $10,000 for the burns unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the process.He also attempted to climb Mount Everest with other wounded servicemen, training for the difficult journey with Prince Harry, though the mission had to be called off due to avalanche (雪崩)risks. Karl said, “The hospital gave me life, so I intended to use that life to give back to them as long as possible.”For Karl, the most difficult run he has ever done was a seven-day Ultra Marathon in the Amazon rainforest back in 2012. “Its basically seven marathons in seven days, and by the end my hands and feet were infected, it was so tough,” he said.Karl has now taken some time out from running to plan his wedding with his artist fiance Beth Platts, 27.64. What made Karl famous when he was in Iraq? A. He was caught and put in prison. B. He was seriously burnt in a bomb attack. C. He was almost beaten to death by enemies. D. He was the only one who escaped from the tank.65. Why did he decide to run marathons? A. To speed his physical recovery. B. To help pay for the medical fees. C. In memory of those soldiers killed in the war. D. In appreciation of what the hospital had done for him.66. What has Karl achieved so far? A. He has succeeded in climbing Mount Everest with Prince Harry. B. He has been honored with an award for his bravery in the war. C. He once finished seven marathons in seven days on end. D. He has run marathons across 7 continents.67. Which of the following best describes Karl? A. Tough and thankful.B. Brave and honest. C. Determined and amusing.D. Romantic and lively.DAfter a full roast turkey lunch, it is traditional to try to work off the calories with a long walk in the great outdoors. Now scientists have shown that “interacting with nature”, even in the middle of winter, improves memory and concentration levels.In fact, just an hour walking through countryside increases the brains performance by a fifth. In contrast a walk through busy streets, perhaps shopping for sales bargains, has no improving effect on the brain at all.The research was carried out at the University of Michigan. One group was sent out on a 50-minute walk through streets lined with office buildings and busy with traffic while the other took a quiet, tree-lined route. Afterwards the volunteers mental skills were assessed in a series of tests, and compared to their performance before setting off on the walks. Results showed that those who took the “nature route” improved their short-term memory by 20 per cent. There were no improvements after walking down city streets.It is thought that the countryside is “restorative” because it allows people to switch off, while walking in towns and cities requires attention.Marc Berman, a researcher at the University of Michigan, suggested interacting with nature can help cure mental tiredness. “I would highly recommend going away for a little break in the country or simply going for a walk in a park in a town,” he said. “Our research has shown the effects on memory and attention are real.”The research also found memory and attention improved after simply looking at pictures of nature rather than photos of built-up areas.Mr. Berman added: “Interacting with nature can have similar effects as meditating (冥想). You dont hear people say, Well, I got really tired out looking at this beautiful waterfall. Nature does not make
