12、 He was an old man who fished alone in a small boat on the sea and he had gone eighty four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone with another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry the fishing tools. The sail looked like the flag of failure forever.
The old man was thin with deep wrinkles（皱纹）in the back of his neck. His body was terribly brown because of the strong sunlight on the sea every day and his hands had the deep scars（伤疤）from dealing with heavy fish on the lines. But none of these scars were fresh. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful.

14、 It almost seems too hard to believe, but there is now a banana that has an edible peel. Most people would never think of eating the peel of a banana. However, banana farmers in Japan have created a special way for growing bananas with a peel we can eat. The new banana-growing method is called the "freeze-thaw awakening". Farmers in Okayama, in the west of Japan, keep their banana trees at a freezing cold temperature of -60°Celsius. The farmers then replant the trees in 27℃ temperatures. The huge change in temperature makes the tree suddenly grow too quickly for the peel to fully mature（成熟）. This makes the skin thin and soft enough to eat. The peel of their "Mongee Banana" is not very tasty, but it is thinner and far less bitter than that of common bananas, making it 100% edible.
The new kind of banana is called the "Mongee", which means excellent. Farmers are now selling it in small bunches of 10 bananas. Farms only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only send them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. But even if you happen to find one available, you'd probably be put off by the price -648 yen (＄5.7) per fruit. The farmers have not grown a lot of Mongee bananas, so the price is high. They want to grow more so they can sell them all over the world. This means the price will come down. Bananas are the most popular fruit in Japan. Similar to other countries, Japan imports most of its bananas. About 99% of bananas in Japanese stores are from other countries. The Mongee could mean Japanese people eat more home-grown bananas.
Japanese site SoraNews24 was lucky enough to receive a few Mongee bananas for review（评论）purposes, and its staff reports that the fruit is special. First of all, a Mongee is pretty much sweeter than a common banana, thanks to its high sugar content（含量）, 24.8 grams, compared to the average 18.3 grams. They have a stronger smell as well, and a distinctly tropical, almost "pineapple-like" taste. The Mongee banana skin contains nutrients such as vitamin B6 and magnesium（镁）.
The day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away, but it's nice to know that 100% edible bananas already take place.
(1) What's the meaning of the underlined word "edible" in Chinese?
A. 有毒的
B. 可食用的
C. 污染的
D. 受欢迎的
(2) The special banana trees in Japan grow fast because of .
A. the change in temperatures
B. the land
C. special farmers
D. the good DNA in them
(3) What is the most special part about Mongee bananas?
A. People can eat their peel.
B. They are sweet.
C. They are delicious.
D. They are healthy.
(4) How much is a Mongee Banana?
A. ＄10
B. ＄24.8
C. ＄18.3
D. ＄5.7
(5) The followings are all true EXCEPT .
A. the price of the "Mongee Banana" is high
B. the peel of the "Mongee Banana" is delicious
C. Japanese don't have much choice of home-grown bananas before the "Mongee Banana" appears
D. Farmers want to grow more "Mongee Bananas" so they can sell them all over the world

12、 He was an old man who fished alone in a small boat on the sea and he had gone eighty four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone with another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry the fishing tools. The sail looked like the flag of failure forever.
The old man was thin with deep wrinkles（皱纹）in the back of his neck. His body was terribly brown because of the strong sunlight on the sea every day and his hands had the deep scars（伤疤）from dealing with heavy fish on the lines. But none of these scars were fresh. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful.

14、 It almost seems too hard to believe, but there is now a banana that has an edible peel. Most people would never think of eating the peel of a banana. However, banana farmers in Japan have created a special way for growing bananas with a peel we can eat. The new banana-growing method is called the "freeze-thaw awakening". Farmers in Okayama, in the west of Japan, keep their banana trees at a freezing cold temperature of -60°Celsius. The farmers then replant the trees in 27℃ temperatures. The huge change in temperature makes the tree suddenly grow too quickly for the peel to fully mature（成熟）. This makes the skin thin and soft enough to eat. The peel of their "Mongee Banana" is not very tasty, but it is thinner and far less bitter than that of common bananas, making it 100% edible.
The new kind of banana is called the "Mongee", which means excellent. Farmers are now selling it in small bunches of 10 bananas. Farms only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only send them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. But even if you happen to find one available, you'd probably be put off by the price -648 yen (＄5.7) per fruit. The farmers have not grown a lot of Mongee bananas, so the price is high. They want to grow more so they can sell them all over the world. This means the price will come down. Bananas are the most popular fruit in Japan. Similar to other countries, Japan imports most of its bananas. About 99% of bananas in Japanese stores are from other countries. The Mongee could mean Japanese people eat more home-grown bananas.
Japanese site SoraNews24 was lucky enough to receive a few Mongee bananas for review（评论）purposes, and its staff reports that the fruit is special. First of all, a Mongee is pretty much sweeter than a common banana, thanks to its high sugar content（含量）, 24.8 grams, compared to the average 18.3 grams. They have a stronger smell as well, and a distinctly tropical, almost "pineapple-like" taste. The Mongee banana skin contains nutrients such as vitamin B6 and magnesium（镁）.
The day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away, but it's nice to know that 100% edible bananas already take place.
(1) What's the meaning of the underlined word "edible" in Chinese?
A. 有毒的
B. 可食用的
C. 污染的
D. 受欢迎的
(2) The special banana trees in Japan grow fast because of .
A. the change in temperatures
B. the land
C. special farmers
D. the good DNA in them
(3) What is the most special part about Mongee bananas?
A. People can eat their peel.

D. They are healthy.
(4) How much is a Mongee Banana?
A. ＄10
B. ＄24.8
C. ＄18.3
D. ＄5.7
(5) The followings are all true EXCEPT .
A. the price of the "Mongee Banana" is high
B. the peel of the "Mongee Banana" is delicious
C. Japanese don't have much choice of home-grown bananas before the "Mongee Banana" appears
D. Farmers want to grow more "Mongee Bananas" so they can sell them all over the world

While Fridays are always the best day of the week, June 4, promises to be even more special this year. That's because it also happens to be National Donut Day, which means it is your duty to consume（消费）one of the delicious fried treats! Surprisingly, the holiday was started by the Salvation Amy to help raise much-needed money for the poor.
In 1917, volunteers arrived in France to take care of injured（受伤的）World War Ⅰ soldiers（士兵）. To comfort the homesick soldiers, Salvation Amy Ensign（少尉） Margaret Sheldon and fellow officer Helen Purviance used the limited—flour, sugar, and oil—at their disposal（支配） to make donuts.
The fresh donuts brought great joy to the US soldiers who lined outside the service hut（小屋）, often waiting patiently for hours in cold weather, to get their hands on the special treat. TAL#NBSPThey were soon dished out（分发）as many as 9, 000 pieces daily. The success helped to lift the spirits of US soldiers. Later, it was so popular that National Donut Day became a celebration, which falls on the first Friday of June.
The holiday has since been accepted all over America by donut makers who often celebrate it by handing out free treats. This year, Krispy Kreme and Lamars Donuts will give a free donut to all customers. Many neighborhood stores also take part in this fun traditional activity, so be sure to check to visit the one closest to you.

19、 Many students suffer from stress in their daily lives. They are under stress because their lives are not balanced（均衡的）. They focus too much on studying, dealing with peer（同伴）pressure and worrying about what others think, and not enough on other things. You may wonder whether stress is a serious matter. The answer is"Yes". You should know that stress is a risk to your health. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to begin to guard against stress from a young age.
Here are some ways to deal with stress and bring balance to your life:
Be positive
One way to cancel out stress is through positive thinking. You should always look on the bright side of life, and imagine that you will have a happy and successful future.
Learn to relax
Force yourself to take a break from your studies and worries about exams. You can do this simply by taking a walk, reading a book, going to a concert or seeing a film, or just sitting in a private place and being silent for a moment.
Take up a hobby
Learn to paint, take up skating, or start playing a musical instrument. When you are busy with a hobby, you will leave all your worries behind.
Take care of your body
Stress is your body's enemy Taking regular exercise, eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep are all the things that can help you.
Laugh
Sometimes laughter is the best medicine for stress. Seeing a funny film or telling jokes with friends will often cheer you up when you are low.

Good morning, everyone!
It's my honor to be here to speak in front of you. The topic of my speech today is “Nothing can be achieved without standards". In my understanding, it means that if we don't have the standards, we won't succeed. As a Senior Three student, there are many rules in my school. I still remember the test two years ago, because I didn't follow the school rules, I fell far behind others. Realizing the importance of following the rules, I study every minute. Gradually I made great progress and was awarded the honorable title of“Star of Progress". From then on, I strictly abide by the rules of the school. My grades are getting better and better.
That's all. Thanks for your listening.
