i got on a horse. when i was a little boy aged two, my mom agreed to let me take a short ride and that was it! from then on, i drove my parents crazy begging for a horse.when i was four, i had mutism, in which children stop speaking in certain social situations. i went days, weeks, months without a sound at school. at most, i might quietly whisper to a friend. i suffered silently through school until i was ten when a psychologist had an idea. he asked me what i wanted more than anything else in the world. he explained i was going to be given an opportunity to work for that. and i was permitted to whisper the answer in my mothers ear, “a horse.”i was to get a pony, but i had to live up to my end of the bargain. i had a chart of weekly tasks i had to accomplish. i had to answer the phone five times per week, something i had never done before. i had to say one word to my teacher at school and the list went on. for a child with mutism, saying one word to someone can be like climbing mount qomolangma. i did everything that was asked of me and the day came. his name was sequoia, whom i fell in love with immediately. when i was in sequoias presence, i forgot all about my problems and felt strong and secure.i am a fully participating member of society these days. my horse and i made it through a masters degree. i may have made it otherwise, but im not sure. i feel i owe my life to the horse and i try to give it back to him every day. he has given me the best gift i could ever imagine, my life.5what was the situation like when the author was four?ahe didnt say a word at all. bhe learned how to ride a horse.che found his classmates unfriendly. dhe had difficulty in communicating.6what can we infer about the author from paragraph 3?ahe completed some tasks easily. bhe pushed himself extremely hard.che fell in love with sequoia gradually. dhe found the psychologists idea ineffective.7.what is the authors purpose of writing the text?ato share his unfortunate childhood. bto give tips on how to cure mutism.cto show his deep gratefulness to his horse. dto inspire kids struggling against mutism.cheritage is our legacy (遗产) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. places as unique and diverse as the pyramids of egypt, the great barrier reef in australia and the great wall of china make up our worlds heritage.the united nations educational, scientific and cultural organization (unesco) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. this is embodied in an international treaty called the convention concerning the protection of the world cultural and natural heritage, adopted by unesco in 1972.how does a place become a world heritage site? it takes a lot of people to decide.1)if a country wants one of its places to be on the world heritage list, it has to ask unesco. the place must be important and special. unesco put the great wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. when a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.2)the world heritage committee of unesco talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. the committee meets every june. many experts help the committee to decide.3)after a new place goes on the list, unesco gives money to help keep it looking good. if a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the list of world heritage sites in danger. unesco gives special care and help to those places.4)countries have to give unesco regular reports about places on the list. if unesco thinks a country isnt taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.8what is the main purpose of paragraph 1?ato tell us what is heritage. bto stress the importance of heritages.cto explain the aims of protecting heritages. dto introduce some places of interest in the world.9about cultural and natural heritage around the world, unesco encourages all the following except _.aidentification bapplication cprotection dconservation10if a place successfully becomes a world heritage site, the country _.acan ask unesco for more money and help bshould continue to take special care of itcwont take trouble of caring for it dwill try to put it on the list of world heritage sites in danger11the purpose of putting a place on the world heritage list is _.ato attract more tourists from other countries bto get more money and help from other countriescto have it taken better care of dto make it known to other countriesdevery year in america, highschool students who want to go on to college take a national examination called the scholastic aptitude test, or sat for short. their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them. the scholastic aptitude test measures ones mathematical ability and use of the english language. traditionally, the english part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.but the sat folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot. thats an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside. have you ever seen young peoples handwriting lately? or anyones for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. they scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.yet todays kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this sat test. good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的笔迹) of young people whove been typing on computers since the age of three! teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help ones score on the sat, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. and dont forget, we all have to use handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when the power goes out.then how to improve the handwriting? well, with a few simple steps you can improve your handwriting. position the pen. you should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb. you should then rest it near the first knuckle (指节) of the middle finger. the rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.evaluate your writing. what do you like and what dont you like about the way you write? make changes to your letters till you like how they look.take your time. make sure that, while you are writing, you take your time. speed can definitely make your writing terrible. if it is worth writing well, then take your time.practice. practice it a lot; its not enough to do it once and hope for the best. it has to be something you work at to make great improvements.12at present, the sat tests students on _.amath, english, reading and writing bmath, grammar, reading and handwritingcmath, foreign language and writing dmath, foreign language and handwriting13the underlined word “scribble” in paragraph 2 probably means _.awriting quickly and roughly btyping simply and correctlycpainting clearly and neatly ddescribing properly and well14according to the text, good handwriting can _.ahelp students pass the test bmake a student more popularcshow students ability dassist students in getting a job15the author mainly wants to tell us that _.awriting seems to be very important in the sat bthose who will go to college have to take the satcstudents should practice handwriting more often dkids dont know how to write in the computer
