One day my teacher said, “ Life is a game of chess, and the other player is time．” From that moment, I knew I had to enjoy my life．Do not waste time, because, you know, time will not come back．You cannot buy it．It is one of those things in life that you must really, really value．
When you see an opportunity, take it．You might not get it back．Never let an opportunity pass．And if it is too hard, remember that in the middle of every difficulty lies an opportunity．
Remember, you cannot choose how you' re going to die, or when.You can only decide how you' re going to live．Study as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow．Don' t just think of the present, but also think of your future. Your future is yet another chapter in your life and another way to live it．
Every single living thing has a purpose in life．"The purpose of life is a life of purpose," said Robert Byre．
Learn to use time wisely, take opportunities, and enjoy life．We can discover the meaning of life in three different ways: （1） by doing a deed; （2） by experiencing a value; （3） by suffering．Life．
56．小題1:The underlined part suggests that___________．
A．If life is a game of chess, time is also a game of chess
B．If life is a game of chess, both you and time are the players
C．If life is one player in a game of chess, time is the other player

Strange things were happening in the  51 in northeast Hebei Province. For three days the   52  in the village wells rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep  53  in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of ponds. People saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside Tangshan even when no  54  were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, went to bed  55  that night.
At 3:42 am everything began to  56 . It seemed that the world was at an end! Eleven kilometers directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century  57 . It was heard in Beijing, which is one hundred kilometers away. One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometers long and thirty meters   58  cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen   59  seconds a large city lay in ruins. Two-thirds of the people died or were injured during the   60 . Thousands of families were killed and many children were left without parents. The   61  of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000.
But how could the   62  believe it was natural? Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed. All of the city’s hospitals, 75% of its factories and buildings and 90% of its homes were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves. No wind, however, could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for   63 . The railway tracks were now useless pieces of   64 . Tens of thousands of cows would never give   65  again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens had died. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were   66 . Then, later that afternoon, another big quake shook Tangshan. Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins. More buildings fell down. Water, food, and electricity were   67  to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.
All hope was not lost. The army sent 150,000   68  to Tangshan to help the rescue workers. Hundreds of thousands of people were   69 . The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead. To the north of the city, most of the 10.000 miners were rescued from the coalmines. Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city by train, truck and plane. Slowly, the city began to   70  again.

Working together，the father and son developed concepts of  42  it could be accomplished and how the difficulties could be  43  . With great  44  and inspiration，they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well，but unfortunately an accident took the life of John. Washington was injured and left with a brain damage， 45  him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
Everyone had a  46  comment to make and felt the project should be trashed. In  47  of his disability，Washington still had a burning  48  to complete the bridge and his mind was still as  49  as ever.
He tried to pass on his  50  to some of his friends. Suddenly an idea  51  him as he lay in hospital. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best  52  of it.

It seemed foolish  53  the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm，until the Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die  54  that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and  55  an impossible goal.

Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was struck by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops, huge and round, yellow through the dust and smoke of the city. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking what a pity it was that most city livers---myself included---usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon.
Today our lives are connected with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We eat and breathe things our bodies were not designed to process. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters, air-conditioners, cars and computers. White noise and pollution is in the air. Radio waves and strange lights are constantly disturbing our minds and bodies.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I saw the moon and remembered these things. And I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains and perhaps write. I may grow old there. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
小題1:What was the author’s pity in this passage?
A．Most people living in the city failed to see the beautiful moon.
B．There was too much pollution in the city.
C．There were too many modern inventions.
D．There was too much traffic on the road.
小題2:What attracted the author most according to the passage?
A．The mountainous jungle of India.B．The fullest moon.
C．The high mountains in India.D．All kinds of modern inventions.
小題3:The author longs for ________.
A．Camping outside at nightB．Returning to the nature
C．Writing booksD．Watching the moon
小題4:The main idea of this passage probably is “________”.
A．Disadvantage of Living in Cities
B．The Pleasure of Being out at Night
C．Touched by the Moon
D．Pollution Caused by Modern Technology

Today is my first day at Merchiston Castle School,and I was really nervous about it, because I have never visited the school before and didn’t take any summer course. Despite my anxiety,I soon relaxed once I arrived; the staff were so nice that I felt my spoken English was better than it actually was! As soon as I walked into the dayroom of my boarding house,I was absolutely(完全地) amazed by the friendly atmosphere; everyone was so friendly that a boy as shy as I had no difficulty in setting in,and I made many new friends on my very first day,although I was struggling to remember all the names.
Also I realized there were other international students in the house from all over the world,such as South Korea,Japan and Russia.Although their English was not so fluent,it didn’t take long for us to understand each other at all.In some ways,it was even better to practice Enlgish by speaking to the international students,because we were both learning.
As a boarder,the quality of food is something I consider very important,and Merchiston has not let me down.The school kitchens are run by a professional catering company,and the quality of food is excellent,also they take the issue of a healthy diet really seriously.I remember once I was asked to take more salad for my meal by a member of the kitchen staff for I did not have enough vegetables.This brings to another point of being a boarder:you need to learn how to look after yourself and be responsible for yourself.One of the huge advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school,which means we don’t have to pull ourselves out of the bed as early as the daypupils!
小題1:Why was the writer nervous when he was at Merchiston Castle School on the first day?
A．Because he had no friends and relatives there.
B．Because he didn’t know the school well.
C．Because he was not good at English.
D．Because he was shy.
小題2:On the first day,        .
A．though the writer was anxious,he soon relaxed
B．he found the dayroom of his boarding house terrible
C．he made many new friends,but he didn’t remember any of their names
D．he thought he spoke English better than the staff in the school
小題3:Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A．In the boarding house,there are only students from South Korea,Japan and Russia.
B．The international students in the boarding house don’t speak Englsih very fluently.
C．The food in Merchiston doesn’t make the writer disappiointed.
D．The professional catering company thinks the issue of a healthy diet is very important.
