Tom started to paint. Suddenly he thought of a plan to get his friends to help him do the work. “Aunt Polly told me to try very hard， and that is what I’m going to do.” He smiled and began 11 .

Just then his friend Ben came past. He laughed when he saw Tom painting. “What’s the matter， Tom？ Does your 12 want you to work on such a nice day？”

Tom didn’t stop 13 . “Work？ Oh， no， Ben. You see， painting is a（n） 14 . First you must choose the right 15 ， then you must get the best paint and brush. But the most important of all， you must have the right 16 . Aunt Polly says that there isn’t a 17 in town who can paint this fence like me！”

Ben’s eyes opened wide. “ 18 ，Tom？ Let me try a bit.”

“ 20 ， Tom. I’ll give you half of my apple if you let me paint.” Ben 21 ， “Your aunt will never know the 22 ！”

“You may have my whole 24 ，” Ben said. “Give me the paint brush now.”

“Well， if you really think you can do it — here， take the brush but be very careful of the way you paint.” Tom took a 25 at the red apple.

Half an hour later， when his friend had painted four 26 of the fence， Tom said， “You’re doing it quite well， Ben， but of course you need to do much more 27 you can really call yourself a painter. ”

As each hour passed， Tom’s painting became close to being 28 . Each friend who happened to walk past took his 29 at painting a few boards — all for a price， of course. “You have to make them think it’s something wonderful，” thought Tom， “or they’d never want to do it without 30 for it. ”

When I walked into the house after school， I found my dad at home. “What are you doing home already？” I asked casually.

“Andrew， I was laid off today，” he answered quietly.

I was sure he was joking. “No， you weren’t. Why are you really home？”

Then I noticed his expression and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. My father’s unemployment created many changes in our lives. He was home all day， which meant my bed had to be made， my room cleaned up， and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed， and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem （自尊心）， though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less money. I gave up my pocket money， even though it wasn’t much. I also found a part-time job.

After several difficult months of searching， my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again， so he was going to start his own business. Day by day， I watched him build it， and I admired how much time and energy he devoted to it.

One evening I asked if he needed help.

“Only if it doesn’t interfere （干擾） with school，” he said， which sounded like a yes.

I showed up at his office the next afternoon， and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker， but watching him in action really influenced me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family， it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving， I can always find a new plan， ask for help， and take risks.

39. When he was laid off， the father ____ .

A. was angry with his bossB. didn’t care about it at all

C. couldn’t accept the fact easilyD. was as happy as usual

40. We can know from the passage that ____ .

A. it was not easy for the father to find a new job

B. the father asked his sons to give up their pocket money to support the family

C. the father found a good job when he changed his direction

D. Andrew and his brother helped his father set up his business

41. The underlined word “adversity” in the passage probably means “____”.

A. poor feelingsB. bad situationsC. low spiritsD. old ideas

42. What has Andrew learned from his father？

A. The spirit of creative problem-solving.B. The skills of surfing the Internet.

C. The experience of saving money.D. The rich business skills.

This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London.

For a while， my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers （慢跑者）. They were there all the time： early morning， noon， and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweaters， young couples in sneakers， and middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on！” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”

Well， I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day， anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life， and not a day more. Based on my experience， jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around， and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.

First of all， jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding （追擊） running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot， leg， and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging， and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people， but if you have any physical weaknesses， jogging will surely bring them out， as it did with me.

Secondly， I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say， “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well， my thoughts began to bore me， and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.

And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain？ And that wasn’t just the first week： it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level， and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it！ So many other exercises， including walking， lead to almost the same results painlessly， so why jog？

I don’t jog any more， and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace， and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise， and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging， and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

46. From Paragraph 1， we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ____ .

A. jogging became very popular B. people jogged only during the daytime

C. Alex organized an army of joggers D. jogging provided a chance to get together

47. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ____ .

A. heart attacksB. back problems

C. famous joggersD. physical weaknesses

48. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning？

A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.

C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.

49. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later？

A. He disliked doing exercise outside. B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.

C. He was afraid of having a heart attack. D. He was worried about being left alone.

50. From the writer’s experience， we can conclude that ____ .

A. not everyone enjoys jogging

B. he is the only person who hates jogging

C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit

D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport

[1] On October 19， 1959， the first Special English program was broadcast on the Voice of America. It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language was not English. Experts said the goal was admirable， but the method would not work. However， . The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are.

[2] Forty years later， Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. During the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American-English. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. And it provides listeners， even those who are native English speakers， with information they cannot find elsewhere.

[3] Today， Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week， five times a day. Each half-hourly broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature （特寫報道） programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science， development， agriculture， and environment， and on the weekend about news events and American idioms. These programs are followed by in-depth （深入的） 15 minutes features about American culture， history， science， medicine， space， important people or short stories.

During last winter vacation， I joined in an English camp but had many interesting activities. In the English camp we listened to some English lectures. After which we watched some English movies. The most interested part， I think， was teaching foreigners make dumplings and sing the Chinese songs. The foreign friends were very interested in it and we had a lot of funs together. They all thought the dumplings were very deliciously.
