     After suffering through many months of unemployment  (失业). my wife and I moved this week from Colorado to Ohio. where she was starting a new job.Not knowing anybody there. we were pretty concerned about how we'd get our entire home unloaded (卸下) without killing ourselves.
        We made a phone call to hire (临时雇用) a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there.But one neighbor after another stopped by to help us.What ? Have we moved to some other country ? Maybe we've died and gone to heaven!    
   Unloading actually became fun and joy because there were so many wonderful new friends to help when we worked.The more people helped. the easier the work became.We were afraid the job might take days for the two of us alone. but it was finished in a few hours.Many total strangers would either walk by the sidewalk or drive by to ask us if we were moving in.Many were happy that this old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again.We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.
        All the time. my brain was resting on this new sense of hope that people can be so friendly to strangers.Among all the conversation were lots of offers to help each other in all kinds of ways.It's wonderful to live in such a kind little town.I feel so grateful to be here. and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire community can model  (做榜样) what it's like to help each other.
   24. The author and his wife moved to Ohio because________.
   1. they liked moving from one place to anotherB. they were both out of work in Colorado
      C. the students of his wife were living thereD. his wife had found a new job there

      1. grateful  B. surprised   C. bored   D. crazy

         1. thought it hard work to move in

B. were curious about the newcomers

C. were glad that the old house would have its new owner

D. hired two college students to help him

(C)

Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school ? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.

There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language and about the same number who have learnt it besides their mother tongue. It is said there are one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English. 

 Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of “mono-culturalism", a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music? 

 Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary (相反),I would have thought——although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India (where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan (the same situation with India)…

If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald's burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant (占主导地位的), it will kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but also one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.

 When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland."The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it's like a rose," he said."But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?"

 Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don't necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that's fine by me.

29. By saying"Ask the people of India … and Pakistan" (in Paragraph 4), the author is trying to show that _____.

A. speaking the same language doesn't necessarily bring peace

B. wars can destroy the relationship between two countries

C. English doesn't kill other languages

D. English is widely used in the world

30. What does"rose" in the last two paragraphs stand for?

1. The world B. Family C. Language D. The Earth
   31. The author would probably agree that _____.
   A. it's very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden
   B. it's good for people from other countries to learn English
   C. more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens
   D. English is easier to learn than other languages
   32. This passage is mainly about _____.
   A. why English has become a global language
   B. how many people in the world speak English
   C. how people in the world learn English as a foreign language
   D. whether we need to worry about English being a world language
   (D)
    In high school,all Canadian students take part in a very exciting event. It is"Take Your Children to Work Day".Students will have a chance to work with their parents. My day took place in my mom's work,the York Region Police Department.
     When I arrived,a coach was teaching the officers basic combat(格斗)skills. Everyone tried their best to practice.I could see them sweating and panting (喘气).
   The most exciting part of my visit was a stop at the 911 Communication Center. 911 is the same as 110,119 and 120 in China.Every 911 call in the city is answered here. When I entered the center, I stood beside a call dispatcher (分派人员)arid watched him dealing-with the calls.
     Suddenly,the phone rang,he picked it up and a woman cried for help. There was a robbery in her house. The call dispatcher told her,"Please calm down and move to the safe place quietly. Don't fight with them. Just let them take what they want. Please make sure you are not hurt. We are sending officers there."
      He followed the call and found the address. The call dispatcher chose the five closest police cars from the satellite map and clicked(敲键盘) to send the policemen.  I saw the police cars from the satellite map were quickly moving to the woman's house. Five minutes later,they arrived.I asked the call dispatcher  why he sent five cars.He said,"There are different levels of emergencies. Robbery is a high priority (优先 ) ,so we have to send five cars."
      The day was interesting. I leaned how the different departments worked together.The officers were very friendly and admirable. 
   33. What's the best title for the article?
   A. An exciting day at a Police Department.         B. Robbery is a high priority.
   C. How the police saved the woman.                 D. The 911 Communication Center.    
   34. What is the correct time line according to the article?

   b. A coach was teaching the policemen combat skills.
   c. The writer visited the 911 Communication Center.
   d. The police quickly arrived at the woman's house.   
   1. b-c-d-a     B. b-c-a-dC. c-b-a-dD. c-d-a-b   

35. What would the woman probably do after dialing 911?       

A. Fight bravely against the robbers.

You know that you have everything to be thankful for：a loving family，a pretty good job，and a healthy working body．Still，you keep feeling that what you have just isn’t enough．Sure，you can be happier by making some life changes． 36  It will make you more likely to start enjoying that sunshine instead of complaining（抱怨） about sunburn．

   Stop comparing yourself to others．

    Stop thinking about how big your neighbor’s house is，how great your friend Jack’s job is，or how perfect your best friend’s relationship is．You’ll never get anywhere if you compare yourself to others． 39   

   Hang out with people who are satisfied with their lives．
