4.Flying
Ever since I was old enough to dream,I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles.My love
of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become.Two years ago,that passion
rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona.For a whole week I lived in a college dorm,roomed with a total stranger and---best of
all---I flew!
My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to
flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模擬裝置).At least once a day,I devoted myself
to learning one of the world's best training aircraft,the Cessna 182.Not only did I receive thorough
ground instruction,but I also got to fly.In total,I flew five hours to receive my private pilot's license.In that one joyous and so-short week,my passion for aviation grew even stronger.Now,whenever I see a plane flying overhead,I feel a sense of pride thinking I've done that.
During my time in and above the Arizona desert,I learned not only about the mechanics and
techniques of aviation,but also about myself and how I see the world.As I floated in that seemingly
endless sea of air,I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below.On the
ribbons of roadways,each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams.I wondered if any of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle.Then I realized that each must have his or her own
dreams and ambitions.That's what makes us unique.We try to respond to something special inside
us.I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.
Everywhere I go,I hear,"Do what makes you happy and you will be happy."It sounds like
standard advice,but I've really thought about it and taken it to heart.I couldn't care less about how
much money I make or what benefits I receive.I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my
dreams.And,even if they change,even if they finally don't involve aviation,I'll always aim to fly
with the eagles.

15.The following passage is a healthy prescription (處方) of how we can approach life.It is not about being famous or being wealthy or about our good looks.Truly,it is all about love.There are times when we feel as if we are separated from the rest.This feeling creates a mental prison.Therefore,we should try to work hard to internally (內(nèi)在地) liberate ourselves by widening our circle of pity to accept all living things.
"Open your heart to others and try to understand,
When someone reaches for you,hold out to them your hand,
Follow your heart,no matter what other people say,
Do things that make you able to smile throughout your day,
Treat other people,the way you would like them to treat you,
Do what you know is right and to your heart and self stay true,
Remember what life is all about,it is how you make people feel,
What you do,where you go,and making dreams become real,
Helping people through,in hard times of pain and strife,
What you do for others,is what is important in this life.
Look deeper and don't judge people by what is on the outside,
It is what is inside that counts and what people often hide,
Care,help,love,be honest,and be kind,
With purity and goodness within yourself,it is happiness you will find.
Do all you can in the time you have,you won't always be around,
Recapture the joy of little things,that once were easily found,
And if you can do all this and live a life of love,
You will be helped through life,by all those up above."
I will leave you with the inspiring words of our late genius,Albert Einstein:
"There are two ways to live life.One is as though nothing is a miracle (奇跡).The other is as though everything is a miracle"There are two ways to live life.One is as though nothing is a miracle (奇跡).The other is as though everything is a miracle."

60.The passage is mainly aboutA.
A.living a life of love                 B.helping those in need
C.taking back the joy of life           D.separating ourselves from others
61.According to the passage,which statement is true?C
A.Treating others the way others treat you is right for your life.
B.Making your dream become real is selfish in your life.
C.Judging people by what is inside counts.
D.Doing what you can makes yourself happy.
62.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably meansA.

19.Thrift stores are a refuge (避難所) for countless items from landing in garbage piles.
Value Vitlage,for example,saves more than 650 million pounds of clothing from landfills(垃圾填埋場) each year!making it one of the largest recyclers of used garments in the world.
Their stores give a second life to 1.8 million pounds of clothes every day,which is equal to 600 mid sized cars.Almost 100 percent of clothing and textiles are recyclable,yet 85 percent of it ends up in landfills.It's estimated that the average person throws away 70 pounds of clothing a year.
Lindsay Coulter is the so called"queen of Green"with the David Suzuki Foundation,
educating people on how to live a greener life by making changes around the house.She says that donating and shopping at thrift stores is an excellent way to exercise all three of the three R's reduce,reuse and recycle.She says,"whether it's a purse or a pair of shoes,it's really worth considering going to thrift stores as another point of contact to help reduce your consumption."
Coulter points out that since landfills are air-tight,textiles take longer to break down.
"I'd imagine things like an old towel,a rag or an old-shirt will last a really long time,"
she says.The beauty of thrift shopping is that the supply is never-ending,so if you don't find what you're looking for one day,it's likely to show up in no time.
One person who knows this quite well is Jodi Jacyk,costume specialist in the theatre
and film department at the University of British Columbia.She says the majority of items for the university's productions are purchased second-hand.Because of her shrinking budget,items like clothing and shoes are thrifted from Value Village."We are constantly thrifting and we re-use costumes for many years.Thrift shopping is a much easier,cheaper way to do things."she says.
The next time you need to lighten your closet,take the opportunity to go thrift shopping to lighten both your carbon footprint and your financial burden at the same time.

A.It deals with daily garbage.
B.It sells second-hand items.

18.Right after the Second World War,Germany was in ruins.Almost all the houses,factories and schools were destroyed.Plenty of people were homeless as well as jobless.Worse still,the supply of water and electricity was often cut off in the city.Two American journalists interviewed a German family living in the basement.The husband was disabled from the war and the wife was just dismissed from a clothing company.Worse still,there were bills for them to pay-four children to care for and food to buy.Life was hard for them at that time.
After the interview,the journalists chatted with each other on the way back to the company.
"Do you think the Germans could rebuild their homeland?"
"Absolutely."
"But I can't see any hope for the country at all.How can you be so certain about that?"
"Have you noticed what they put on the table in the basement?There was a vase of flowers.A nation,suffering at such moment,hasn't forgotten about flowers.It shows that hopes are not lost.They are still able to dream.A nation with hope can create miracles.They are sure to be able to rebuild their homeland."
