When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence, then depressed. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.

“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it. ”

“But what can I do?”

“Get out and have a look round. ” advised his uncle.

“See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it. ”

Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to win his good fame. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good:  in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other problems. But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop in a new place where there were plenty of customers but no competition.

Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs visually and audibly impaired (视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.

Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane.Ms.Allen kept active by rowing,running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse.After nearly giving up completely,she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.

Ms.Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane.“But,they found people and matched me to them,” she said.“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

When Rebecca Saxon was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 27,she thought her life was over.But in her darkest hour,inspiration struck and she found a way of turning her misfortune into advantage.

J.K.Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day.Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.

She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter.So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series,she noticed.Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9-year-old daughter Bailey.

He included a link to his article titled Being a Broke Parent.He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events.The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV,which means there’s no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter.Since he received the series,the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together.

Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties,but he’s loving reading them now.“We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud,” Burke explains.“This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone,but it gets me directly involved in something she loves,and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book,which has proven to be a ton of fun.”

After hearing Burke’s story,Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more books.Besides,people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts.For Burke,this experience,far more than gifts,will be what he treasures.

32.What is implied in Burke’s words in Paragraph 4?

A.He has found it interesting to read the series.

B.He was too old to understand the series better.

C.He has chosen a better way of reading the series.

D.He hopes to play a role in the drama in the future.

33.Which word can best describe Burke’s experience according to the text?

A.Unique.  B.Normal.   C.Precious.  D.Funny.

34.What is the main idea of this text?

A.J.K.Rowling chooses to help improve kids’ health.

B.J.K.Rowling gives a magical gift to a single father.

C.J.K.Rowling has a deep influence on others’ growth.

D.Burke comes to know J.K.Rowling through her series.

35.Why did Burke thank J.K.Rowling according to the text?

A.She guided him how to write a good story.

B.She encouraged him when he was in trouble.

Dear Mary,

Last week,we held a sports meeting in our school.Sports do us good in many respects.There are many events in the sports meeting.Such as 100-meter race.400-meter race,800-meter race and so on.

 While taking part in sports game, we will try our best to win and arouse ourselves the competitive spirit. Sports can also help us relax after a period of exhausting work. However, as the saying goes, "there are two sides to everything", and sports is without exception. I have a good news. I won the first prize in 100-meter race.

In my view,my participation in sports tells me that sports can make us healthy both physically and psychologically. It is also a good way for people to know each other and can promote friendship between people.

Looking forward to your reply.

                                           Yours,

                                                  Lihua
