ATo teach Tani free of charge.BTo raise money for Tanis family.CTo pay for Tanis schooling.DTo spend more on Tanis training.7Whats Paragraph 3 mainly about? AReports of the media.BActivities of the chess club.CTanis devotion to the game.DPublic reaction to Tanis story.8What does the last paragraph tell us about the family? AThey are poor. BThey are kind.CThey are honest. DThey are pitiful.答案AADB.七选五If something that youre doing doesnt challenge you，then it doesnt change you.We all need some normal stress in our lives，after all. 1 So challenge the following limits：Figure out what youre scared of and do it continuously.If youre a salesman，and youre scared of talking to people personally or over the phone，now，instead of being scared and thinking youll fail，spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 2 But dont stop on the first try！Eventually，you can look at fear in the eyes and say，“Go on，Im not scared！” 3 Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career；you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.Some examples might be cooking，sewing，painting and so on.Apart from helping you challenge yourself，taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise. 4 A simple 9­minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight，but also make you feel better about yourself.Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.Dont just limit yourself to your fellow travelerstry to connect with New people.You never know what kind of people theyre.Get out of your house or go online right now to book your tickets. 5 AYou should do it continuously.BSomeone may hang up on you.CYou dont need to go to the gym.DRunning in the gym may be a better choice.EStart to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.FTake a class for a hobby youve been wanting to develop.GYou can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.1G2B3F4C5E.完形填空 I had the pleasure and honor of serving as Newport Beach ocean lifeguard(救生员) for five years.One day，I was working at Tower 15.Two blocks to my right was another 1 named Mike，who was working at Tower 17.He called me over the phone and said，“I have noticed a couple of kids.I am going to give them a 2 .Keep an eye on us.” I said，“Sure.” And he 3 .Anytime you got out of your tower，you were 4 to let somebody else know，so as to avoid accidents.And sure enough，as soon as he hung up the phone，a rip current(离岸流) snapped up under these two kids，and they were getting sucked(吸) down into the 5 .Mike saw it and he ran at full speed to the ocean.I called for backup(支援) and said，“Two children 6 in water.Call for backup.17 was out.Im going.” By then，the mother of the two kids had 7 what was happening.She screamed(大喊)I started rushing toward the ocean，but 8 I was even halfway there，Mike had reached the kidsa boy and a girl.Mike told me later that he 9 to the boy first，and when he turned to the girl，he had to dive into the water and catch her by the hair to 10 her out.When I reached the mother，Mike was 11 in waist­deep water.The kids were so 12 that they couldnt walk，so Mike got one kid under each of his arms and brought them onto the beach.I 13 the mother and said，“Hey，its going to be OK.Theyre safe now.” I saw that the 14 look started to disappear from her face.What a frightening experience！What a 15 Mike is!1A.guard BtowerCsoldier Dfirefighter2A.signal Bwarning Cnotice Dhand3A.held up Bshowed upChung up Dmade up4A. confused BsupposedCencouraged Dfrightened5A.water Bhole Csand Dsoil6A.died Bbroke Cdropped Djumped7A.experienced BrealizedCshared Dconfirmed8A.after Buntil Cbefore Dwhen9A.got BreachedCabandoned Darrived10A.push BpullCshake Dcarry11A.also BindeedCjust Dstill12A.exhausted BdisappointedCsurprised Dexcited13A.turned to Blooked forward toCcheered for Dlooked at14A.happy BsurprisedCfrightened Dembarrassed15A.friend BheroCmaster Dmodel1-15 ABCBA CBCAB DAACB .语法填空I have even wondered if money buys happiness.It seems that money will allow me to buy the things 1. make me happy.But one day I sat down and made a list of the things I wanted 2.
