Maybe it’s because it was our first purchase as homeowners. The salesman must have spotted just how green we were, so he began persuading. And soon he led us to a classic leather chair. All these years later, I remember he used words like rich and handsome, the thing every living room needed.
We believed him. So we bought that chair — just less than $100, a great deal in the 1970s for a young couple !
How we loved that chair ! It always occupied a place of honor in our various living rooms, moving with us from our first tiny house to our beloved new house.
Somehow, conversations were better on that chair, and life was more fun around it. Three daughters spilled their secrets on it. Old friends seemed to be attracted by it on those wonderful occasions. Crazy as it sounds, that leather chair seemed to have — well, powers. All for good.
At first, we didn’t really care that the leather was showing signs of wear(磨损) or that it had lost its sheen (光泽). But in our most recent move, when the chair was moved in our new living room, it suddenly looked terribly lonely sitting close to newly painted walls and a couple of shiny new tables.
My husband and I tried but still we couldn’t ignore the rough spots. Our chair had a skin disease. Even our adult kids raised eyebrows, urging us to at least remove the chair to some dark corner of the room. Neither of us could imagine such a retirement for it.
So we had an inspired idea. We’d call in an upholsterer (修理工) to give our old chair a whole new life. Our friend Joe studied the chair and then took out a simple leather conditioner. He explained that although it wouldn’t work miracles, it would definitely get our weary chair looking younger again. It certainly doesn’t look new, but its seat and back are shining, and some of its deeper wrinkles have lightened.
Best of all, it’s back in the living room, looking like a wise old friend to the furniture around it. And, yes, there it will stay.
Because some things, like some people, just deserve a happy old age.
24. How did the salesman persuade the author into buying the chair?
A. By thinking highly of the author. B. By saying that the author was green.
C. By describing how great the chair was. D. By comparing the chair with others.
25. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. Sweet memories with the chair. B. Various functions of the chair.
C. People’s comments on the chair. D. Family activities and parties of friends.
26. Why did the author finally decide to repair the chair?
A. Because she was persuaded by Joe. B. Because it couldn’t match her new house.
C. Because she didn’t have enough money. D. Because it showed signs of hardness.
27. What can we learn from the text?
A. East or west, home is best. B. From saving comes having.
C. It is never too late to mend. D. Old friends and wine are best.
C
One night, as I was driving down the road, I found something was sitting in the middle of the road. A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety. But I’d made one big mistake.
I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director.
Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one of the vastest road networks of the country.
“Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said.
Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and help their patient.
28. Why did the author stop the car?
A. To help the turtle. B. To see the thing clearly.
C. To prevent a car accident. D. To find something good.
29. What happened to the turtle?
A. It got hurt by people previously. B. It was injured a little bit.
C. It was run over by a car. D. It lost its direction.
30. What did Dr. Sue suggest at last?
A. Leaving the turtles alone. B. Making Ontario home to turtles.
C. Changing the road conditions. D. Helping turtles find nesting spots.
31. What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. The director. B. The driver.
C. The author. D. The turtle.

Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows? You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Do not miss meals. Before yon leave home for a feast(宴会),have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
Choose lean meat(瘦肉 ).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.
Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess(过多的) calories.
32. Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may ______.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many students study by reading their notes and textbooks over and over again. But studies show there are more effective ways to help you study smarter.
36 Many students know what they are expected to do. Yet many often fail to plan ahead. So they need first to set a reachable target. Break it into pieces and make them happen one by one. It may seem strange at first. But after two weeks or more it becomes a normal thing.
Don’t just reread. 37 Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle, rather than doing it yourself. It looks like it makes sense. But until you try it yourself, you don’t really know if you understand it.
Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something. 38 On its own, that concept might be hard to remember. But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it becomes easier!
Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember countless facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration(深究). It’s taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it.
39
Practice more. Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. 40 In a study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than did students who studied the way they normally had.
As a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks, worksheets and notebooks. “Over and over and over again,” recalls this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Now, she adds, “we know that’s one of the most common bad study skills that students have.”
A. Make a budget and save it.
B. Make a plan and stick to it.
C. The same should go for learning.
D. However, not all can apply to students.
E. In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value.
F. Sadly, reading books and notes repeatedly is common for many students.
G. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There are many things that we would be thankful for in life, but many people aren't, including me.
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. Kind and caring, she always seemed to make people comfortable. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home to help her until I became a teenager. Suddenly I was too caught up in my world to worry about helping others.
One summer day, when I was 12,Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin(破坏) everything? Eventually, I made my way outside. I imagined the lake water cooling my skin. Feeling angry, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. I sat in silence, too upset to make a conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mom asked calmly.
“I guess...,” I murmured(嘟哝) under my breath.
“Sweetheart, we are going to a children’s shelter(庇护所), I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I felt even more angry. How was I supposed to help there?
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised.It was a large white Victory home.As we got close to the large front porch(门廊), wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us.Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.
Mom ran the doorbell. The door opened and we were shown to the front room, where all of the children were playing.Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby with wounds(伤口) on his body. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars(伤痕) such as the cuts, scratches(抓伤) and burns. What a terrible life they had before they moved here! My heart sank.
注意：
1.所续短文词数应为150词左右；

As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.

【参考范文】
Dear Mike,
Glad to receive your letter, where you expressed interest in Chinese Senior High school life.
In the beginning, everything seems to be fresh and exciting. But I find it difficult to learn some subjects and have to cope with more pressure. Fortunately, my school offers various after-class activities. What interests me most are the elective courses from American TV Dramas Appreciation to Chinese Tea Culture. The future days will see me face up to challenges and make progress. I am sure my hard work will pay off.
How about your new semester? Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hu
As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me.Her face lighted, although there were some scars on her little arms. “Hi. I’m Ashley. Do you want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over and saw Mom nodding to me with a smile. I bent towards Ashley and whispered, “Sure. I’d love to.” Her tiny hand reached up and took mine, and we walked towards the doll house. Our time to-gether brought her great joy and fun and she also made my day.
I returned to the shelter with Mom several times. During those visits, some of the children including Ashley shared their troubled pasts with me in great detail. I felt sorry for what had happened to them and treasured the friendship between us. I would like to do everything in my power to help the children there. At the same time, I learned to be grateful for all that I had. It was a meaningful time in my young life that I will never forget. It was Mom who taught me the valuable lesson that summer.
