My husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.

One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.

Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir. Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes." I then asked,” May we buy you something to eat? "He responded with,  “Sure, I can order something myself.”

My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to."This gentleman will have lunch with us today," I said. “Please add his order to our bill." The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank You" We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.

When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn't see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.

5. From the appearance of the gentleman, we can guess he was probably a(an) ­­­­_____.

A. waiter      B. actor      C. beggar      D. worker

6. The manager of the restaurant looked frightened because ________.

A. the man was not friendly

B. the man had stolen something from the restaurant

C. he was afraid the man wouldn't afford to pay the food

D. he had fired the man before

C. was hungry and ate a lot of food    D. was too proud to accept their offer

8. The phrase “made my day" in the last paragraph probably means ________

A. made me very happy      B. wasted my money  

C. made me feel sorry        D. moved me deeply

C

The US government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of

earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help to discover the answers to these two questions：

Can we predict earthquakes?

Can we control earthquakes?

To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country，such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes correctly. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.

However, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection(注射) of water，there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other.

When the water "oiled" the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was given out. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, dangerous earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.

9. Earthquake belts are __________

A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occur

B. the two layers of earth along a fault

C. breaks between two sections of the earth's surface

D. zones with a high probability of earthquakes

10. The San Andreas fault is ___________.

A. at the foot of the Rocky Mountain

B. a place where earthquakes have been predicted correctly

C. a place where earthquakes have been controlled

D. an active fault system

11. What can be said about the experiments at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal?

A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention

B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention

C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.

D. Nothing is told about their practical value in earthquake prevention

D

Donna Ashlock, a 14-year-old girl from California, was very sick. She had a bad heart. "Donna needs a new heart”, her doctors said. "She must have a new heart, or she will die soon.”

“Every time we see Donna, we think of Felipe. She has Felipe's heart in her. That gives us great peace. " Felipe’s brother John says, "We should learn from him. When we help others, we can also feel happy. If everyone is ready to help others, our world will be better and better.”

How to be a good student

  It’s important and necessary for us to be good students. But how can we become good students? In my opinion, those who are strict with themselves and in their studies can be considered as good students while those with bad behaviors of smoking, drinking or being absent from classes without any reason are admitted to be bad ones. Being good students we should show respect to our teachers and the elderly and be always ready to help others. Besides, we must obey the school regulations, and try not to form the bad habits, such as being addicted to playing computer games, telling lies and bullying the weak.

   In a word, good students are always trying their best to make constant progress so that they can achieve their goals.
