China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors－silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
小题1:According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?| A．Because they are traditional and safe. | | B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive. | | C．Because they are colorful and available. | | D．Because they are fast and environment friendly. |
小题2:The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.| A．to ride it for fun | | B．to use it for transport | | C．to experience local culture | | D．to improve his riding skills |
小题3:How did the author feel about his street crossing?| A．It was boring. | B．It was difficult. | | C．It was lively. | D．It was wonderful. |
小题4:Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?| A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. | | B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding. | | C．The author was praised by the other bikers. | | D．The author took great pleasure in biking. |

Some years ago，writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events，feelings，and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words，but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all，isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old，I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley，wellequipped with pens，a diary，and a camera.During the trip，I was busy recording every incident，name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively，dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there，I wandered out of my tent，diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon，and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point，I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now，I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books，or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures，but not very often－only of objects I find really beautiful.I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera，busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places；maybe I’ll forget certain facts，but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don’t live to make memories－I just live，and the memories form themselves.
小题1:Before the age of thirteen，the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.| A．observing her school routine | | B．expressing her satisfaction | | C．impressing her classmates | | D．preserving her history |
小题2:What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?| A．A dull night on the journey. | | B．The beauty of the great valley. | | C．A striking quotation from a book. | | D．Her concerns for future generations. |
小题3:What does the author put in her diary now?| A．Notes and beautiful pictures. | | B．Special thoughts and feelings. | | C．Detailed accounts of daily activities. | | D．Descriptions of unforgettable events. |
小题4:The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.| A．to experience it | | B．to live the present in the future | | C．to make memories | | D．to give accurate representations of it |

When 19yearold Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the MakeAWish Foundation (基金会)，nobody understood what she was talking about.But Sophia knew just how important MakeAWish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
Sophia told us that MakeAWish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It’s a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses.MakeAWish helps children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，”Sophia explained.
We asked Sophia how MakeAWish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true－so，with everybody’s help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a“policeman”for a day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of MakeAWish，”explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time.A MakeAWish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.
小题1:Sophia found out about MakeAWish because her best friend had________.| A．benefited from it | | B．volunteered to help it | | C．dreamed about it | | D．told the author about it |

小题4:Which of the following is true about MakeAWish volunteers?| A．They are important for making wishes come true. | | B．They try to help children get over their illnesses. | | C．They visit sick children to make them feel special. | | D．They provide what is necessary to make MakeAWish popular. |

Doctors are known to be terrible pilots.They don’t listen because they already know it all.I was lucky：Ⅰ became a pilot in 1970，almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didn’t realize then，but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon.I loved flying.As I flew bigger，faster planes，and in worse weather，I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理)，or CRM，a new idea to make flying safer.It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result，regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980.Not long after that，an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying；I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn，he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down.He was a better pilot－and my boss － so it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to：Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness and said，“We need to put the landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM，and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite，the doctor doesn’t overreact，which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when I’m in the operating room，I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”．
小题1:What does the author say about doctors in general?| A．They like flying by themselves. | | B．They are unwilling to take advice. | | C．They pretend to be good pilots. | | D．They are quick learners of CRM. |
小题2:The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when________.| A．he saved the plane by speaking up | | B．he was in charge of a flying task | | C．his boss landed the plane too late | | D．his boss operated on a patient |
小题3:In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means ________.| A．following flying requirements | | B．overreacting to different opinions | | C．listening to what fellow doctors say | | D．making a mistake that may cost lives |
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?| A．CRM：A New Way to Make Flying Safe | | B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor | | C．The Making of a Good Pilot | | D．A PilotTumed Doctor |
