     DENVER, COLORADO-What does it take to be a hero? In the case of live Denver children, it only takes
a cry for help. Here's the story of these five heroes as Gary Lewis, the man they helped, tells it.
     "I like to work on my old car. It's my hobby. I wanted to put a new transmission (傳動裝置) in the car.
I put the car up on blocks (大塊木頭) because I wanted to get under it. I was trying to get the old transmission
out when suddenly the car moved forward and fell off the blocks. It came down on my chest. I couldn't
breathe."
     "I tried to shout for help for about five minutes, but I almost could not breathe. Could anyone hear me?
Was I going to die? Then all of a sudden I heard some little children from the neighbourhood. They were
running to the car and saying,'What happened, sir?'"
     "'Get help, please. I can't breathe,' I told them. One of the children ran to his house and told his mom to
call 911. Then, before I knew what was happening, all of the children were around the car. They used every
muscle (肌肉) in their bodies to lift (抬起) the car, and I was able to get out from under it."
     Lewis got out from under the car with just a few cuts. He didn't even have to go to the hospital. "These
children are my heroes," he says. "I don't know how they did it, but I am lucky to be alive."
     Raymond Brown, father of two of the children, is very proud of them. "We try to teach them to do the
right thing. This shows we're doing it the right way, I guess," he says.
1. The car fell off the blocks because _____.
A. the children pushed it
B. it moved forward by itself
C. Gary Lewis moved the blocks
D. it was driven by someone.
2. Gary Lewis couldn't breathe because _____.

C. he had a bad cold
D. he was working too hard
3. Lewis was able to get out from under the car when _____.

We spent a few days in Paris last week. We visit the famous city quite regularly. After all, it only takes three hours from London to Pairs. It’s always a pleasure visiting places we really like, exploring areas we’ve never been.

The only unlucky thing this time was the weather. As soon as we got there the temperature reached almost 35 degrees C (which lasted until we left). It was so hot that Matthew just couldn’t stand it — for him, it wasn’t the most enjoyable trip. I felt sorry for him because every time we go there he has to put up with (忍受) my endless shopping spree (狂歡) …

Because of the heat, we ended up just having lots of ice-cream and drinks most of the time, although we managed to pay a few visits to the new Herme shop on rue de Vaugirard at least. It’s not as busy as the shop on rue Bonaparte so you can choose whatever you like without worrying about a queue behind you! I really enjoyed his bread this time as well as the cakes. And I must say that his Croissant aux Amandes and Bostock were simply the best I’ve ever had.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．It was the first time for the writer to go to Paris.

B．It was a long way from London to Paris.

C．The writer lives in London.

D．The writer only likes to go to places she has never been to.

2. The underlined word “stand” in the second paragraph means ____.

A．享受

B．忍受

C．站立

D．位于

3. What can you know about Matthew from the second paragraph? 

A．He doesn’t like shopping.

B．He doesn’t like travelling.

C．He is one of the writer’s relatives.

D．He isn’t a good husband.

4. The shops on rue Bonaparte ____.

A．has no bread that the writer likes

B．is often crowded with customers

C．don’t have anything the writer likes

D．is not very busy all the time

5.What’s the best title for the passage? 

A．An unpleasant trip

B．A great city

C．A shopping centre

D．A trip to Paris

                                                                            Too Pleased with Oneself
     In the Spring and Autumn period, there was a major minister, Yan Ying. He was very wise and always treated people
with the best manners. So he was very highly respected.
     Yan Ying had a wonderful horse and carriage(馬車).When his driver sat on the carriage, driving for such a great man,
he felt quite proud about it. One day, as he was driving the carriage past his home, his wife saw him sitting at the front
of the carriage so proud that she found it uncomfortable, and was quite ashamed of(以…為恥辱) him.
     That evening, when her husband came home, she told him that she felt sick when she saw how proud he was when
he drove the carriage for Yan Ying.  She said,''Yan Ying is a major minister, and highly respected. But he sat in the
carriage without any pride. You are only a driver, but you looked as if you were an even greater man than Yan Ying. I
don't want share the same room with such a person!" He thought about it, and realized that he was wrong. He promised
her never to behave that way again.
     From then on, the driver tried to learn from Yan Ying. Yan Ying noticed this, and asked his driver what had caused
him to change. The driver told him what happened. Yan Ying was impressed by what the driver said. Later, he offered
him an official post.
     From the driver's previous(先前的) behavior comes this useful phrase"yang yang de yi". We use it to describe big
heads, people who are far too pleased with themselves.

                                                        The Changing Olympic Games
        The Olympic Games have changed a lot since they were first held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Back then,
winners got silver medals instead of gold ones. Sounds strange, doesn't it? People thought silver was better than
gold. Also, no women ran in the first Olympics, and only 14 countries took part. China was not one of them.
But those aren't the only differences.
        The Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin (顧拜旦) was the man who really wanted the Games to start
again. His idea for the modern Olympics came from the Greek Games thousands of years ago. He hoped they
would help to bring world peace.
        But it took time for the Olympics to become popular. Not many people thought they were good ideas in
1896, so they were put together poorly. Some tourists even ran in races! Today, more than 10,000 people from
about 200 countries take part.
        In the early years of the Olympics, there weren't many sports. Most events were track and field (田徑),
much like in the first Greek Games. Events usually took place in the Panathenaic Stadium (雅典體育場), and
you can still see it today. Players did not wear their countries' colors in 1896. Their clothes were not like the
uniforms people wear today. In fact, players weren't even picked by their countries back then. They traveled to
the Games by themselves and had to use their own money to take part.
         New sports have been put into the Olympics over time, like badminton and table tennis. Some older games
are no longer played, like tug-of-war (拔河). It would be hard to see all the events at this year's Games. There
will be over 300!
         Swimming was different in 1896. There was a 1,200-metre race in the sea. A boat took swimmers out
into the sea and left them to swim back to land. Sometimes rough water made the race dangerous. The first
person ever to win that race was Hungarian Alfred Hajos. He seemed happy just to finish."I just wanted to live.
That's more important than winning," he said. When people or teams won events in 1896, they didn't get the
same things as now. They got olive wreaths (橄欖枝花環(huán)) to put on their heads and silver medals.
1. In the first Olympic, winners were given            .
[     ]
A、gold medals and olive wreaths
B、silver and gold medals
C、olive wreaths and flowers
D、silver medals and olive wreaths
2. Baron Pierre de Coubertin wanted the Olympic Games to start again because            .
[     ]
A、may people thought they were good ideas
B、they became popular in 1896
C、he hoped they would help to bring world peace
D、no women ran in the first Olympics
3. In the early years of the Olympics           .
[     ]
A、most events were track and field
B、players wore the uniforms people wear today
C、people from about 200 countries took part
D、events usually took place in many other countries
4. ________ are no longer played in the modern Olympics.
[     ]
A、Running
B、Tug-of-war
C、Table tennis
D、Swimming
5. The sentence underlined in the text really means            .
[     ]
A、some events will no longer be played in this year's Games
B、there will be too many events for you to see all
C、the Olympic Games have changed a lot
D、events will take place in the Panathenaic Stadium
