On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was 41 that there was an envelope（信封）on my desk one morning. From the 42 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.

When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!” The note was 43 by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand(新手), his words made me 44 . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. When I wondered 45 I had the ability to be a good editor, I would read John's note and become 46 again.

Later, when I made friends 47 Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to 48 young people in many fields. “When I make 49 feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”

50 , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my opinion, many people are 51 that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing 52 more time and it is harder to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot last a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read 53 .

So, when you find some people around you need 54 , please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will 55 ,but remember Mr. John's words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too. 41. A. sad B. stressed C. surprised D. frightened

A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.

In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon. Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.

There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.

Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too! School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. It's said that there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Chongqing.

61. According to Dr. Frank, school buses are safer for the students.

A. yellow B. black C. white D. colorful

62. Children in Japan may easily by taking the school bus.

A. save time B. love their school C. play games D. do their homework

63. Chinese students will save a lot of time to to school.

A. walk B. take a taxi C. ride a bike D. take a school bus

. This passage is mainly about .

A. school buses B. school life C. popular colors D. students' safety

65. According to the text, the underlined word “icon” means _____________ in Chinese.

A. 文明 B. 象征 C. 交通 D. 管理

Many believe that life has smiled on Yang Mi: at the age of 4, she got her first TV drama（剧role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college-Beijing Film Academy .

Last year, the 24-year-old actress played bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-traveling TV drama, Palace. The drama became a big success and made Yang very famous. The number of her micro blog followers soared from several thousand to more than 3 million overnight.

Could she be any luckier? Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her

success. She paved her way all by herself. “Every chance comes from the efforts I’ve made,” said Yang. People now think she’s very hard-working.

She doesn’t forget the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. Some treated her with little respect. They didn’t want to help her in her time of need. “I have to thank them because they gave me the drive to prove myself,” she said. That’s why she is eager to help others when they are in need.

In May, Yang became the ambassador（大使）for the Climate Group. She calls on people to join the Million-Miracle（百万奇迹）project and plant trees on China’s dry land. Together we’ll fight the bad weather!

66. What happened to Yang Mi when she was sixteen years old?

A. She got her first drama role. B. She played a bad girl in Palace. C. She became a fashion model. D. She went to a film college. 67. The underlined word “soared” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________. A. fell B. increased C. stayed D. disappeared 68. Why did Yang Mi succeed in life?

A. Because she caught every chance luckily.

B. Because she often helped workers to pave the road. C. Because she put more efforts into her work.

D. Because she wrote her micro blog to attract fans.

69. If Yang Mi meets an actress in need of help, she will _________. A. show her a cold shoulder B. treat her impolitely C. criticize her seriously D. give her a hand 70. The last paragraph is mainly about_________.

Do you know about Dolly, a famous sheep? She was created by cloning more than ten years ago in Scotland. Cloning is famous all over the world. It is an experiment to make an animal that is exactly（完全地） like its parent. So far, scientists have cloned rabbits, sheep, cows, mice, pigs and some other animals.

However, Dolly’s DNA is exactly the same as that of the sheep she was cloned from.

No doubt cloning can help save those animals in danger. And it can also benefit human beings. The cloning technology has been used in human organs(器官) . With its help, scientists are able to explore（探索）more ways to treat many serious diseases such as heart disease, AIDs and cancer. However, cloning could be used in some ways to harm society. All governments should make laws to make sure it can be used properly. 71. When and where was Dolly created?

A. More than one hundred years ago, in the USA. B. More than fifty years ago, in Scotland.

C. More than ten years ago, in Scotland. D. More than fifty years ago, in China.

Many famous people had dreams when they were young. They often worked hard to make

their dreams come true.

When I was only 13 years old, I first thought about what I should do in the future. I used to dream about being a basketball player, a soccer player, or a baseball player. However, I gave up these dreams because I was too short. Then I thought about going to music, so I bought a violin. But I couldn’t play it very well. Then I had to give up my dream again. After that I thought about being a reporter and I worked really hard at it. At the age of 25, my dream came true and I became a reporter.
