9.I stopped at my bank last week to deposit a check.I could have used the ATM,but I am so glad that I didn't because if I had,I probably would not have met Harold.
There were 3 or 4 people ahead of me in the line-up,so I amused myself by watching TV,just waiting my turn.Moments passed.Then,directly in front of me,a tiny elder woman,who was now first in line,started toward one of the counters.But the customer before her didn't finish,so she had to step back.Her backward movement caused my attention to be drawn to the customer directly ahead of us.As he was facing the counter,I could see only his white hair and the bright red team jacket.I heard him say to the teller in a deep,strong voice…"Have a Great Day!"and the teller replied,"You too,Harold-see you next week!"
The impatient woman again made her move,heading for the counter.As she passed him,Harold looked up,directly at me,saying,"You are a handsome man,sir."I was so surprised by his statement and struck by the genuine warmth and generosity that filled it that I blurted out"Thank you,sir."instantly reaching out to shake his hand,out even realizing that he was walking with a walking stick.He switched it to his left hand and took my hand in his warm and firm grip."I really care about you!"He spoke again.Then he reached out to the next person in line and said,"I really care about you,too!"
I was so overcome by his innocent and sincere gift!He was like a 4-year-old,who walked up to everyone,inviting them to play with him.I wondered to myself afterwards.How was he attained this state of grace?Imagine the warm feeling he leaves behind his as he sails through this world,touching people for just a moment.He dropped a stone into the peaceful ocean of my reality that is still rippling outward as you hear and hopefully,some of what Harold so unselfishly pass on to me,that In attempt to pass on to you-I really care about you!

25.What made the author notice Harold?C
A.The woman's impatience.
B.Harold's deep and strong voice.
C.The woman's backward movement.
D.Harold's white hair and bright red team jacket.
26.Why did Harold say"I really care about you!"to the author?B
A.To express appreciation for his help.
B.To pass on his warmth and generosity.
C.To praise him for his being handsome.
D.To greet his old friend in a special way.
27.What can we learn from the last paragraph?D
A.Harold gave a gift to the author.
B.Harold liked to play with others.
C.Harold's words attracted people.
D.Harold's words touched the author.

19.Last week,my granddaughter started kindergarten,and I wished her success.I was lying.What I actually wish for her is failure.I believe in the power of failure.
Success is boring.Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do,or doing something correctly the first time,which can often be an uncertain victory.First-time success is usually a piece of luck.First-time failure,by contrast,is expected.It is the natural order of things.
Failure is how we learn.I have been told of an African phrase describing a good cook as she who has broken many pots.If you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots,probably you know a lot about cooking.I once had a dinner with a group of chefs,and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars.They knew how much certainty their failures gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column.Each week I am aware that one column is going to be the worst column.I don't set out to write it.I try my best every day and I have learned to cherish that column.Often in my columns of poor quality,I am trying to get through something I've never done before,something I'm not even sure can be done.
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (蕩秋千演員).She spent three years putting together an act.She did it successfully for years.There was no reason for her to change the act,but she did anyway.She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored.
So she changed the act.She risked failure and public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.My granddaughter is a perfectionist.She will feel her failures.I hope I can tell her,though,that it isn't the end of the world.Indeed,with luck,it is the beginning.
56.What's the writer's lie to his granddaughter?(No more than 6words)He wished her success.
57.What does the writer want to express by giving the experience of different people?(No more than 15words)Success comes from failure.
58.What does the underlined phrase"by contrast"mean?(No more than 5words)differently; in different way/opinion/idea; by comparison
59.Why does the writer's daughter change the act?(No more than 10words)She wanted to learn something new.
60.Do you agree with the last two sentences"I hope I can tell her,though,that it isn't the end of the world.Indeed,with luck,it is the beginning."?Why or Why not?(No more than 25words)Yes,i agree.We should try new things and not be afraid of being failure..

17.Jumping off random cliffs(懸崖) into the sea is not clever.However,as a sport,coasteering uses local experts to help groups travel around the coast so they can then jump safely and have a lot of fun in the process.But coasteering is also so much more than cliff jumping.
A usual day's coasteering will involve swimming,climbing,scrambling(攀巖) and cliff jumping.All trips begin with a safety brief and equipment check.You will be equipped with a helmet,wetsuit and life vest.You will need to wear some old sneakers you don't mind getting wet.
From here it could be a short swim to the first jump site.Following an instructor,you swim through rock pools,around rough rocks and right up to the next jump spot.A brief climb and you'll be standing on the edge wondering,"Why the hell did I agree to this?"Then,and to the yell of your friends,you're leaping in,with a smile that's guaranteed to last the rest of the day.
Coasteering is certainly more than cliff jumping.If ever a sport could claim to be confidence building,this is it.And it's also a perfect activity for groups of friends or for adventurous families who want to explore the coast.Many companies offer daily trips,so even if you are on your own or a couple you can join in with a large group.Companies use trained guides with much knowledge of local tides and weather conditions.These people lead the show and are qualified lifesavers as well.
Coasteering is already popular around the UK.At least now you won't have to ask"What is coasteering?"if someone you know gives it a go.

24.What is coasteering?C
A.A daily sightseeing trip
B.A non-expert guided diving
C.A cliff and water based sport
D.A group activity of climbing
25.What is the benefit of coasteering?A
A.Building confidence
B.Developing independence
C.Improving guiding skills
D.Enriching lifesaving experience
26.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A
A.You felt scared and regretful
B.You became totally tired
C.You discovered your potential
D.You gained complete relief
27.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A
A.To introduce coasteering
B.To organize coasteering
C.To advertise spots for coasteering
D.To train coasteering-lovers.
