I stood in line to sign up for the middle school track(田徑)team.
“Track isn't an      sport.” the coach said. “Are you ready to practice hard every day?”
“Oh, yes. I love running.” I replied.
“Well, that's good,” the coach said.“     starts tomorrow after school.”
I was a little nervous about running with mostly older students, but I decided to face my fear.
“Welcome to the first day of practice.” the coach ordered everyone to the bottom of a sand hill. “Okay.”, he said, “This is the       practice we'll do all season. You are going to run up and down the sand hill ten times as fast as you can. If you can't     _it, move to the side.” We all lined up, legs ready.
“Go！”the coach shouted, and      we went.
I considered myself a bit small but strong. Running up that hill, however, was harder than I had imagined it would be. The sand kept falling down under my feet and it was hard to keep balance(平衡). I tried      my feet in deeper, but people kept passing me shouting “Look out!” and “Move off to the side!”
“Don't cry,” I told myself as tears filled my eyes. I had to step aside. I went home from practice feeling like a(an)    .
That night my dad noticed sad face and asked what was wrong. The story came pouring out. Dad listened quietly and then asked, “How      do you want to run?”
“I really want to run,” I whispered through my tears.
“Then, run,” he said. “Everyone will respect you if you don't stop and give      all you have. I know how strong-mined you can be when you set your mind to it.”
The next day the hill looked as hard as it had been the day before, but I had a new attitude and something to     . “Go！” the coach shouted. Several older students ran by me as we started up the hill. I still fell in the sand, and I still wanted to leave every step of the way; but I kept      slowly and progressively. When I reached the top, I gave a silent cheer and headed back down again. My dad was right. I won      that day and became a part of the team. On my last time down, everyone clapped and cheered.

"Chinese style road crossing" is a hot topic in China. Many cities have started to punish these jaywalkers.
"Chinese style road crossing" means that you cross roads with lots of people and you don't think about traffic lights at all.
Beijing government announced that people who do not wait for the green light to cross the road will receive a fine of 10 yuan. What’s more, using the diagonal to cross the road is also against the rules. Walkers should walk in an "L" shape. Besides Beijing, many places have also taken steps to stop "Chinese style road crossing". Provinces such as Sichuan, Shanxi and Zhejiang have already started to fine jaywalkers 5 to 50 yuan since last year. This punishment can call on people to realize the importance of traffic safety. However, many people complain that the red lights last too long. "Everyone should follow the rules, or the country will lose its order," said People Daily.
Some cities have also paid attention to the problem. For example, Beijing government said it should not only punish these jaywalkers, but also improve road safety facilities, such as properly fixing traffic lights and building overpasses*. Anyhow safety must come first.

請(qǐng)閱讀一篇短文，根據(jù)所提供的信息，完成下面的表格。
In the modern society, the traffic problem has become more and more serious, which has aroused(引起) wide public concern（關(guān)心）, especially in the rush hour , at some time or other, people would rather walk on the street than drive the car, and the line people waiting for the bus can be as long as 10 meters. Because a great number of office workers go to work and go off work at the same time, most private cars and buses are on the roads at the same time, which of course leads to traffic jams(交通堵塞).
But how to solve it? As far as I’m concerned, for one thing, the government should build more roads to meet the needs of cars; for another, we should call for people to take a bus instead of driving their own cars. At times, we can also ride bikes to go to work or visit somewhere. Not only do we strengthen ourselves in this way, but also we protect the environment. In a word ,if all of us take actions to solve it, I believe there will not be a word named traffic jam .

British band “Duran Duran” is going to be the first pop group to perform online concerts on the online game Second Life.

Second Life is an online 3-dimensional, digital world, which is imagined, created and owned by the players—people all over the world.
It is thought that 370,000 computer game players worldwide have Second Life characters that exist in the Second Life world, on the Internet.
Earlier this year, BBC Radio held music festivals and played an interview from inside the game.
In May of 2006, it held a music festival in Scotland, but also created a festival inside the Second Life game so that people all over the world could take part in their computers.
One of the members of the band, Nick Rhodes, told the BBC News website: “When I first saw Second Life a few months ago, I couldn’t believe my eyes. When I started looking at the people on screen, talking, walking around and doing normal things, I thought this is somewhere between a strange TV show, a strange experience and a video game. I wanted “Duran Duran” to be part of it.” Each band member has a 3-dimensional person and it is hoped they will do their first online concert soon. The audience will be able to join in and react (反應(yīng)) while the band is on stage.
Rhodes said new technologies like Second Life will become more and more important in the music industry in the future.
The number of people joining the Second Life is growing quickly. Some computer experts said it probably would be the ‘Next Big Thing’ in the future.
小題1:Is Second Life an online game?
小題2:What did BBC Radio create inside the Second Life?
小題3:What was Nick Rhodes’ new idea?
小題4:How will the band show their first concert online?

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant(仆人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors.  He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand' s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
小題1:Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _______.
A．want to be as rich as their neighbors
B．want others to know or to think that they are rich
C．don't want others to know they are rich
D．want to make themselves happy
小題2:It can be inferred（推斷）from the story that rich people like to_______.
A．live outside New York CityB．live in New York city
C．live in apartmentsD．have many neighbors
小題3:According to the writer, it is_______ to keep up with the Joneses.
A．correctB．interestingC．impossibleD．good
小題4:Which of the following activities probably does not belong to the rich people?
