I get it. I know what it’s like. My father   my family when I was two years old ,and I was         by a single mom who had to work and who struggled        to pay the hills and wasn"t always       to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I      having a father in my life. There were times when I was          and I felt like I didn"t fit in.
So I wasn"t always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I"m not    of, and I got in more trouble than I should .And my life could have     taken a turn for the worse.
But I was      ,I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my      .

举一反三
Today,people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big,noisy cities.They are moving from the peaceful hills,mountains,fields,rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets,buildings,traffic and crowds.This movement from rural areas to urban_areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries,the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work.After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town,people come to find work,and soon an industrial area begins to grow.There is usually a residential area nearby,where the factory workers can live.The families of these workers need schools,hospitals and shops,so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world,there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices.In the United States,this area is usually in the city centre.It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks.The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day.Many of them live in the suburbs of the city,far away from the industrial area and the city centre.Some suburbs are very pleasant,with nice houses and big gardens.There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not.Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years,and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.

Most mornings, the line begins to form at dawn: scores of silent women with babies on their backs, buckets balanced on their heads, and in each hand a bright­blue plastic jug. On good days, they will wait less than an hour before a water tanker goes across the dirt path that serves as a road in Kesum Purbahari, a slum on the southern edge of New Delhi. On bad days, when there is no electricity for the pumps, the tankers don"t come at all. “That water kills people,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel (焦糖)­colored liquid. “Whoever drinks it will die.” The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neibourhood. Women often use it to wash clothes and bathe their children, but nobody is desperate enough to drink it.
There is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but experts usually put the minimum at fifty litres. The government of India promises (but rarely provides) forty. Most people drink two or three litres—less than it takes to wash a toilet. The rest is typically used for cooking and bathing. Americans consume between four hundred and six hundred litres of water each day, more than any other people on earth. Most Europeans use less than half that. The women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred litres that day—two or three buckets" worth. Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesn"t go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon. She often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other way. Sometimes she just buys milk; it"s cheaper. Like the poorest people everywhere, the people of New Delhi"s slums spend a far greater percentage of their incomes on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes.
小题1:The underlined word “slum” most likely means________.
A.a village
B.a small town
C.an area of a town with badly­built, over­crowded buildings
D.the part of a town that lacks water badly
小题2:Sometimes the water tanker doesn"t come because________.
A.the weather is bad
B.there is no electricity
C.there is no water
D.people don"t want the dirty water
小题3:A person needs at least________litres of water a day.
A.a hundredB.four hundred
C.fortyD.fifty
小题4:Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.A hundred litres of water a day is enough for Shoba"s family.
B.Americans uses the largest amount of water each day.
C.In Kesum Purbahari milk is cheaper than bottled water.
D.Shoba has a family of seven people.

For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and covered in their homes. Fifi was outside, and they were frightened.
By the time Fifi had left, 8,000 people were dead, Fifi wasn"t a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.
Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes?
We didn"t always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint"s(基督徒的)day on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.
Meteorologists (气象学家) then tried naming storms after the latitude (纬度) and longitude (经度) where they occurred.
Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people"s names —specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.
There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones”( 热带风暴).
Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y ,Z. the names alternate (交替)between male and female.
A storm won"t get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 mph or 118.4 kph it"s declared a hurricane.
The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific.
So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific? It"s happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.
Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, headquartered in Miami, Florida. He is in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.
He doesn"t do it alone, though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.
小题1:From the first paragraph we can find that ________.
A.Honduras is a country which was destroyed by Fifi
B.Honduras is a country which has no mountains
C.Honduras is a country which faces the ocean
D.Honduras is a country which lies at high latitude
小题2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.There were no hurricanes two centuries ago.
B.The Caribbean is a state of the United States.
C.The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often.
D.Fifi was formed off the Pacific.
小题3:The names for storms and hurricanes, as this passage shows,________.
A.are set for use.
B.are all from American English
C.are difficult to spell
D.are easy to fix
小题4:The underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph means ________.
A.citizens holding the same opinion
B.people with a similar position or function
C.passengers traveling by sea
D.assistants working abroad

Having finished her homework,Ma Li wants some music for relaxation(娱乐).As usual,she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.Come to download music files.But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs"copyright bursts onto the screen.The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright.Lawsuits(诉讼)have been filed against four websites offering free downloads.In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation(赔偿)for their losses.Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website.This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.
“Baidu"s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying.Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,”said an official.
Like many teens,Huang Ruoru,an 18­year­old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province,doesn"t think that getting music from websites is wrong.She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends.When told about the lawsuit,she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others" work without paying.
However,other teenagers have different ideas.Wang Yafei,a Senior 2 girl from Jinan,Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers.“If I download a song and really like it,I will buy the CD,”she said.“So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music,rather than pursuing(追赶,追击)file­sharers.”
