To help me, my father rewarded me one dollar a day after I jogged with him in the morning.Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I jumped from my chair and raced to the top of the steps, wondering who would visit us on such a rainy night. My mother opened the door. Surprisingly, she found a very untidy man. Overcome by pity, my mother invited him inside to the living room.I went downstairs quietly so I could get a better look. I couldnt hear clearly what they were saying, but I saw the man holding his head in his hands and crying, which made my chest ache.I raced back to my room, grabbed the one-dollar coin I had got that morning, ran back to the man, put the coin in his hand and gave him a hug. At that moment, I had no idea why I did so. Feeling embarrassed, I stood still.In a while, the stranger sat quietly with his head bowed. Tears streamed down his face as he tightly held that coin. Finally, he said, I just thought nobody cared about me. For the last twenty years, I have been so alone I have no family. That was the first hug I have gotten in hmmm I dont know how long. Its hard to believe that somebody cares.Being a kid, I hadnt thought about what I was doing that night. I just had the reaction to the sight of someone elses pain. On our earlier morning jogs, my dad and I had talked about the importance of giving, but I hadnt had any idea of what it really meant.Before the man left that night, my parents asked him why he had knocked on our door. He said that as he was walking along the streets, hopeless and ready to die, he had noticed a bumper sticker on the car in front of our house.

We can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least I million animal species disappeared. Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece of terrible news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future.Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes are sold at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity. This irresponsible behaviour not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action. We believe no buying, no killing. First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development.(1)From the first paragraph, we Can learn that A . the number of animal species decreases faster and fasterB . the number of animal species increases faster and fasterC . the number of animal species increases more and moreD . the number of animals increases more and more.(2)When did at least 1 million animal species disappear? A . From 1908 to 2010.B . From 1980 to 2011.C . From 1980 to 2010.D . From 1981 to 2010.(3)Where did animal skin go? A . The museums.B . Home.C . The fashion clothes factories.D . The libraries.(4)Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraph 3? A . We must make laws to protect these animals in danger.B . We must take some measures to protect animals effectively.C . We should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment.D . We should breed wild animals.二、 任务型阅读 (共1题;共1分)5. (1分)阅读理解 I recently gave up driving. I passed my test last year, but I stopped voluntarily when I turned 90, I thought that it was finally the right time. Needless to say, my family was relieved-they didnt have to have that talk with me. My doctor was relieved too. Compared to a serious illness, taking away a senior driving license is one of the hardest things to do. Since my wife passed away years ago, I made this decision alone, although Im sure my wife would have supported me. I knew I couldnt move as well as I used to, and my eyesight was getting worse. It hurt to turn my head when backing up the car, and, after long shopping trips, I was always tired.As I handed over the keys of the car to my son, I thought of all the cars my wife and I had owned over the years. A car is freedom, independence, and an extension of your personality. Without one, you feel like less of a person.I have a son who lives close by and we shop together at least once a week. My neighbors also offer me rides, but the idea of being dependent on other people after a lifetime of independent is hard to get used to.I have learned to adapt and change. With my own car, I could go anywhere at a moments notice. But now, my life is different and I must plan ahead for everything. No more going out for mill or bread or last minute afternoon drives. However, I found a solution to some of those problems. Last month, I decided to buy a nice new four-wheel electric motorbike. At the top speed of 12km/h, it takes 20 minutes to get from my house to the store. But now, my ride is free from traffic and noise, with trees and greenery replacing cars and street signs.Giving up driving is hard, and some of us never accept the loss. For me, however, it was just the end result of a long and lucky life. Life in the slow lane turned out to be so much fun-and so much cheaper.(1)The old man gave up driving because . A . he was too old to drive safelyB . his family forced him to stop drivingC . his wife passed away years agoD . his doctor found he had a serious illness(2)How did rite old man find living without a car at first? A . He became more independent than before.B . He enjoyed the life with his son arm friends.C . He couldnt enjoy the life without freedom.D . He found it heathier to walk around more.(3)What did the old man decide to do to solve iris problems? A . He decided to plan ahead for his everyday life.B . He depended much on his son and the neighbors.C . He took his car back from his son and drove again.D . Fie got a new way of transportation and got used to it.(4)The best title for this passage can be . A . Never too Old to LearnB . Learn to Make the ChangeC . Try to be IndependentD .
