Jack decided to living a simple life like everyone else. He gave $l0,000 of his money to a charity (慈善)to help poor children live a better life. Today he is 36. He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and drives a small car only, but he is very happy. Up to now John has helped some children from poor countries all over the world, by sending them each $200 a month. The money was used for the children’s study, food, medicine and clothing. John receives a report each year on the children’s progress. They can write to each other. but usually the children do not speak English. ‎ ‎ When John first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. “It was nothing special,” he said. “Until I went to these countries and met the children I was helping, I didn’t know anything about their life.” Once John went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting. “When I met her, I felt very happy.” he said. “And I saw that the money was used for a good cause. It brought me happiness.

Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them. Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture ‎ books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit. No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie. Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!‎ ‎8. Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?‎ A. A love for reading. B. Picture books.‎ C. Good health. D. A lovable pastime.‎ ‎9. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____.‎ A. make his parents happy B. finish his school work C. improve writing and broaden knowledge D. help him understand some movies ‎10. If we don’t use our imagination often, ____.‎ A. it is bad for our health B. we will soon learn how to write C. it will help us to have a good rest D. it will soon disappear ‎11. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Why do I have few friends? B. What are my life habits?‎ C. Why do I love reading? D. Why do things happen for the best?‎ D What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform(贸易平台) where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes—the list goes on and on. The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so ‎ much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. EBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet. eBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is make an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business: the world is your market place. Of course for each item sold eBay gets a percentage and that is great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold 12. We learn from the text that eBay provides people with_______. A. a place to exhibit their own photos     B. a website for them to upgrade C. a way of buying and selling goods      D. a chance to buy things at low prices 13. Why did Peter create eBay after graduating from university? A. To make money.              B. For fun. C. For gathering the engineers.    D. To finish a task of his company. 14. From “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2, we learn that Peter______. A. did not feel lonely       B. was always hopeful C. became more and more successful   D. did not think about the past 15. How does eBay make money from its website? A. By bringing callers together.    B. By making e-photos. C. By listing items online      D. By charging for each sale 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Five Ways to Go Green and Save Green Climate change is in the news.
