1、 1.What's your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success comes only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways but not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and won surprisingly. As a prize, 2.我得到一张看功夫熊猫（Kung Fu Panda）的票。I was really lucky because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. 3.Thinking that I might be lucky again, I tried joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I never won again. I knew that the other people had a greater artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the drawings made were not of very high standard(标准).
4. 这些经历教了我很多。Though I might have been lucky at first, I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 5.practice makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and more chances.

24、Try reading the following sentences as fast as you can. “She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.”
Not very easy, was it? What you’ve just read is called a tongue twister (绕口令). It is an exercise made up of sounds that are hard to pronounce in order to help people pronounce words faster and more correctly. Try the next example.
“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”
Tongue twisters usually do not have much meaning. They are just designed to improve people’s ability (能力) to pronounce words. Although they may be very difficult, these exercises are very important to people who are trying to speak English correctly. This is because tongue twisters help people to tell the differences between similar sounds.
So if you wish to pronounce words more smoothly, you’d better try picking out some tongue twisters and practising them.
【1】Tongue twisters are helpful in improving ______ skills.
A. listening B. writing
C. pronunciation D. communication
【2】The first tongue twister is hard because ______.
A. it is very boring to read
B. it teaches us a lot of knowledge
C. we don’t know who “she” is
D. the sounds of “s” and “sh” are similar
【3】The passage is probably taken from ______ in a school newspaper.
A. Story Time B. Study Garden
C. Latest News D. Lost and Found
25、You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called “moonbows”. They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.
Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical（天文学的）conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.
The moon has to be very low in the sky-only 42 degrees from the horizon（地平线）. The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly—any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.
Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moonbow using long exposure（长时间曝光）photography.
Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US.
Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can’t miss it if you're right there.
【1】According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are ________.
A．created by sunlight
B．much easier to find
C．seen during the day
D．more difficult to form
【2】Which of the following can be the conditions for a moonbow to form?
A．A half moon hangs high in the bright sky.
B．A full moon is 50 degrees from the horizon.
C．A nearly full moon hangs low in the dark sky.
D．Water drops are in the opposite direction of the sun.
【3】What does the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．cover
B．drop
C．connect
D．produce
【4】What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．Conditions of moonbows.
B．Background of moonbows.
C．Locations of moonbows.
D．Development of moonbows.
26、 Lots of people are afraid of speaking in public. According to a study, there are 3 of every 4 people having such a problem. The conclusion is a bit surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.
Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. You needn’t write details. Just put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. You needn’t look at your cards for a long time while speaking. Only have a quick look at the card for information instead of reading every last word if necessary.
Smile at your class. When it’s time to speak, a good old-fashioned smile is the best way to draw your class to your speech. Be happy, because you’re about to teach your class something they don’t know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infectious. That means once you smile, it’s hard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That will make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.
Make eye contact. It’s so boring to listen to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you are communicating with them. Also, you will look like you know what you are talking about.
Use hand motions. Move your hands as you talk, use them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.
【1】According to the passage, ________ of people are afraid of speaking in public.
A.25% B.50% C.100%. D.75%
【2】The sentence “smiles are infectious” means “________”.
A.smile is a kind of illness B.smiles keep people fit
C.your smile can make others warm and want to smile too D.it’s hard to make others smile

B.
C.
D.
【4】The passage mainly talks about ________.
A.a boy’s speech in class B.how to write note cards
C.the fear of public speaking D.how to make a speech better
27、 Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable(一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers.
Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring these things of your own. That's because some hotels in Beijing have no longer provided guests with these disposables (一次性用品). Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It's a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment.
In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of lunch bowls every year!
Plastic can take 100 to 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw away, the better environment we will have.
So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again. Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life:
Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones.
After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then use it over and over again.
Do not use paper cups.
At your school canteen (餐厅), use your own bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
【1】Many guests like to use disposable things because they are very________.
A.cheap B.expensive C.renewable D.convenient
【2】Some Beijing hotels have no longer provided guests with the followings free EXCEPT ________.
A.toothbrushes B.slippers C.Wifi D.shampoo
【3】The underlined phrase"break down "means________.
A.破裂 B.分解 C.崩溃 D.故障
【4】How can we deal with a used plastic bowl or bag?
A.Wash it out and let it dry for reusing B.Throw it away at once
C.Burn it D.Give it to your neighbors.
【5】What can we learn from this passage?
A.Many disposable things are harmful because they can be used only once
B.In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1, 320 tons of lunch bowls every month
C.We'd better use either cloth shopping bags or plastic ones in our daily life.
D.We should bring disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste wherever we travel
