14、It all started a year before when my daughter Suzanne and I were shopping in Sydney. In the window of a sports shop I noticed a photo of a group of young people climbing the rock along a canyon(峡谷). "That's what I'm going to do next year," I said. Suzanne laughed. "Sure, Mom! Don't forget you're 65 years old. "
I didn't feel l was that age! I joined a club and trained weekly. Each day I felt my physical energy increase and, along with it, my confidence. Then Suzanne pointed out, "It's good, but how can you clear away the fear of height?" "I've got it worked out, " I replied bravely. "We're going to the indoor climbing center. "
While I was going up the high wall, I was afraid to look down as if a terrible animal was after me. Some time later, as I reached the ground, I sat down heavily on the floor. Later that night, as I lay in bed, I encouraged myself, "You've climbed the wall! You'll certainly make it! "
We set off with our packages to the Grand Canyon. When we reached it, I found the canyon was a huge black hole—far deeper than I had imagined. As the guide clipped(夹住) me onto the rope,____________________________________Time lost all meaning as I pushed my body forward. Only the strong rope kept me from losing hope. I began to think it would never end when everyone had stopped. "This is as far as we go, and we can climb out after a few steps, " the guide said finally. Two and a half hours later, we returned to the car park at last. I began to shake, one hard step after another.
Getting onto the bus, I fell into the seat I had left so confidently a lifetime before. Then, while I was in the seat catching my breath, a feeling of happiness spread through me. I had done it, at the age of 66.

15、Here are some great beach spots for your family to have some fun together.
■Galadesi Beach, Florida
To be honest, you'll hardly be alone here. Caladesi Island State Park is home to hundreds of birds nesting(栖息) among the sunflower-flecked small hills of sand. On the other hand, there is not a parking space in sight.
How to Get There: The park, off the west coast, can be gotten to by boat from Honeymoon Island State Park.
■Ruby Beach, Washington
Ruby Beach feels almost mythical(神话的),especially at low tide and in the fog. The rocks there are strange-looking, and the pools can be surprising, too
How to Get There: There's a sign seven miles north of Kalaloch on Hwy, 101. From the parking lot, follow the path through the trees, down a decline, then toward the water.
■Pfeiffer Beach, California
The rocks there are amazing. In some places, the sand is a light shade of purple. Sure, it can get windy, but that's a small price to pay for paradise.
How to Get There: The turn off is actually just past the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park entrance, at Sycamore Canyon Rd. Drive two miles to the beach, and then walk 10 minutes north to Deer Canyon. There's no sign, but you'll know it when you see it.
■High Bar Harbor, New Jersey
It sits on Long Beach Island, one of the most popular Jersey shores. But watch the water when the tide(潮汐)comes in, you may not be able to leave until the tide goes.
How to Get There: Take Long Beach Blvd. north into the town of Barnegat Light and turn left on 20th St. ,a. k. a. Auburn Road Go a 1/3 of a mile, and then turn right at the Y-shaped crossing onto Sunset Blvd. Take it to the end. You'll see a footpath( 脚印)to the beach.
1.When you're walking on Pfeiffer Beach, you may______.
A.meet a windy day B.see some red sands C.see lots of birds D.see a parking space

17、 In his lowest days when few people bought his records, Taiwan singer Steve Chou lived alone in Canada and did little. One day, he passed by a local CD
store and heard a song that greatly attracted him.
"My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame(名誉) or money," Chou said. That’s how we luckily have such a music genius,
who has since then composed(作曲) lots of hits for the pop music charts (排行榜).
"Sometimes we need to get close to nature to look deeply into our souls and see what we really want to follow," he said.
Recently he has made public his latest work Lovers Genesis(《恋人创世纪》). In this album, he explores human relationships in the Internet age.
"Technology itself is a good thing, but it depends on how you’re going to use it," is Chou’s advice to teenagers.
Chou often gets his music ideas from trips. He has traveled to many places around the world and believes that learning a country’s language is the fastest
way of experiencing the culture behind it.
Chou has worked hard on learning English to push forward his music career(事业). He has flown to the UK to attend month-long English training
schools three times. There he lives with local families and practices daily conversations.
"So I could easily read the English instructions on recording machines and communicate with the local music producers," said Chou, "The music reviews of
the US or British singers that I appreciate could help me learn and grow with them."

a. He made public his work Lovers Genesis.

18、C
What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource(资源). Maybe that’s why they like the expression, “Time is money.”
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it. People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management. It seems that they all want to organize their time better. People try their best to press more life out of their time.
To Americans, being on time is a way of showing respect(尊重) for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late usually calls for an apology(道歉) and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know that they can’t be on time. Of course, the less formal(正式的) the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes late. But they usually don’t try that at work.
American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks before it. Once the time is fixed, it is almost impossible to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people seldom call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may be different, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.
Even Americans would agree that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. However, time is one of life’s most valuable gifts.
1.From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ___________.
A.Americans waste lots of money and time
B.people can only control 60 minutes a day
C.Americans regard time as something valuable
D.money is more important than time in America
2.In Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4, the writer mainly tells us that ___________.
A.Americans respect others’ time in daily life B.Americans never call after ten o’clock
C.Americans visit friends without calling first D.Americans arrive days before an event
3.The underlined phrase “think twice” probably means “___________”.
A.pay attention B.learn wisely C.feel relaxed D.consider carefully
4.According to this passage, ___________.
A.most American people treasure their time
B.people can master and predict time easily
C.Americans like time better than anything else
D.people are supposed to be on time in all situations
5.This passage mainly talks about ___________.
A.some of the American lifestyles B.how Americans treat time
C.all kinds of ways to spend time D.different opinions about time

19、Dear schoolmates,
How time flies! I'm graduating from our school. Now I’d like to share my experience with you. Firstly, our school has a lot of rules so that they can keep our school life in good order. Next,a good relationship with teachers and students can help you improve your study. So it’s necessary for you to get on well with teachers and classmates. Thirdly, every minute counts. Try not to waste time, because we can’t call yesterday back. Finally, everyone has hobbies. But I think study must come first, then we can do what we are interested in.
I hope it can be helpful to you. Wish you success.
Yours truly,
Zhang Yang
