A

Although Adrian Wood had already sent her three oldest children off to White Oak Elementary School in Edenton,North Carolina,she was anxious when it was her youngest son Amos's turn to start classes.Adrian said, "Sending Amos to school was such a different path.He was 3 when he started school.He had autism（自闭症）and he didn't speak."
Amos struggled to make friends and fit in,but there was always one person there who was very happy to see him.Raymond Brown has worked at the school as a guard for the past 15 years.All of the students know and love him,and he's truly a friend to all.He started calling Adrian's son "Famous Amos" on day one.To the mom's surprise,Amos quickly began responding with a cheerful "Hey,Brown" whenever he saw him. "He wasn't even saying 'daddy' at home,so it was really something, "Adrian said.
"Amos is a hard friend to have," Adrian explained, "He takes a lot more than he gives and that's tough for children.But those kids saw that he was popular and loved,and they started fighting over who would get to hold Amos' hand on the way to the classroom.It meant so much to me that he was favored by the other children at school,and Mr.Brown had a big hand in that."
About a year ago,school officials nominated Mr.Brown for North Carolina's School Hero,a ﹩ 20，000 prize.When the results came out and he didn't win,Adrian was heartbroken.She couldn't let the disappointing results stand,so she took to Facebook and created an annual "Famous Amos" prize for Mr.Brown in their community.Her neighbors answered the call,donating ﹩ 35，000 in just one week!Townspeople and school officials gathered in March to celebrate Mr.Brown and give him the money they'd raised.Principal Michelle handed him a giant check and thanked him for everything he does to help kids like Amos find their way.

Mary Lyon was a leader in women's education in the nineteenth century.It was a time when women's education was not considered important in the United States.States did require each town to provide a school for children,but there were not enough teachers.Most young women were not able to continue their education.If they did,they often were not taught much except the French language,how to sew clothing,and music.
Mary Lyon felt that women's education was extremely important.She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom.Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland.She suggested new ways of teaching,including holding discussion groups for students.
Then,Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women.This school would own its own property （财产），guided by an independent group of direction.Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors.It would not depend on any one person to continue.And,the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down.In 1837，Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women.In 1893，34 years after her death,under a state law,Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men.
Mary's efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States.Her influence lasted as the many students from her schools went out to teach others.

When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America,the skies and lands werealive with an astonishing variety of wildlife.NativeAmericans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.Unfortunately,it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a fewdecades to a large part of these resources.Millions of waterfowl （水禽） were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overlyambitious sportsmen.Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed andhouse the ever-increasing populations,greatly reducing waterfowl habitat （栖息地）.
In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act （Act），an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory （迁徙的） waterfowl and the wetlands so vital totheir survival.Under this Act,all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.The very firstFederalDuck Stamp was designed by J.N."Ding" Darlinga political cartoonist from Des Moines,lowa,who at that time was appointed byPresident Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey.Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our naturalresources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlifehabitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System— a fact tha tensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come.Since 1934，better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.Little wonder the FederalDuck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.

8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America？ ______

A. Loss of wetlands.
B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Pollution of rivers.
D. Arrival of other wild animals.

A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute.

10. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？ ______

A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story
B. The National Wildlife Refuge System
C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl
D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

Do you know what makes you happy？Write a list of all the things that make you happy.How many of them are fun？Most of them？So,if you spend your time doing all these fun things,you'll be really happy,won't you？
Well,maybe not.For most people,fun isn't enough for real happiness.Paul Dolan wrote a book called Happiness by Design (1) .If most of the things on your list are about pleasure,that is what you think makes you happy.But you also need activities with purpose. (2) It's easy to do well in subjects you like,but subjects you don't like are less motivating.They're not fun for you,but you have to study them so you need to find purpose.An "A" in a subject you hate won't help the world. (3) Each person can study one part until they understand it and then teach it to the rest of the group.The purpose becomes helping the team.
Go back to your list of things that make you happy. (4) Can you add any？Remember,some activities might bring both pleasure and purpose.
Now you need to design a happy life.Paul Dolan believes people should "decide,design,do".First decide what brings you pleasure and/or purpose -that means your two lists. (5) For example,you might love riding a bike but never have time to do it.So,ride to school or the library or the shops.Some parts of our lives are good or bad luck,but we can still design the rest to make more happiness.

A.But can you be part of a study team with friends？
B.How many of them are activities that bring purpose？
C.There are different ways we can find pleasure in things.
D.He thinks happiness comes from both pleasure and purpose.
E.If you're a student,your "job" is studying and passing exams.
F.If you think something makes you happy,then it makes you happy.
G.Then,don't just think about these activities,fill your life with them.
