I was poor when I was young. But when I was 16, I could beat anyone on the football field. My high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me but also taught me how to believe in myself. One particular incident(发生的事情) with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.

It was during the summer vacation, and there was a chance to get a summer job and earn some money that I wanted very much. Then I realized I would have to give up summer football camp to earn the money. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. \"You have your whole life to work,\" he said. \"But your playing days are limited . You can't afford to waste them.\" I stood before him with my head hanging. \"How much are you going to make from this job?\" he asked. \"$3.25 an hour,\"

I replied. \"Well,\" he asked, \"is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?\" That question made me think about the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I dedicated（献身）myself to the football that summer , and within the year I was chosen by a professional（职业的team.

I finally achieved my goal in life because I insisted on chasing（坚持追求） my dream. The point is that no matter who you are and no matter where you are, you should always have a dream. And this dream will show you your direction like a beacon (灯塔) to a ship at sea at night.

Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don’t have enough to eat.

One centre in Thailand cares for these elephants. It gives them a safe and natural living space. When they are at the centre, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help here. The student helpers work with the elephant keepers. These keepers train the students in caring for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the centre. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night.

We’ve all done it at one point or another. You’re driving along to work or

school when that familiar sound reaches your ear. You look down, reach into your pocket and begin to read, your steering wheel(方向盘) in one hand, your phone in the other. What can go wrong?

What do you think is the number one killer of teenagers in the U.S.? Drugs? Alcohol? Violence? The answer is “distracted driving（分心驾驶）”. According to a study, over 24 percent of all motor vehicle(车辆) crashes involve（涉及） cell phone use. What’s more, drivers who talk on a cell phone, whether hands-free or not, are four times more likely to crash.

When you’re a teenager, the risk of getting into an accident rises sharply. According to the study, more than 3,000 teens die in car accident each year, with about another 450,000 teens being injured. Besides, one text message is equal to 0.08 alcohol level. In most states, that is considered drunk-driving. When you’re a teen, it may seem that this weekend’s party is the most important thing going on in your life right now, but anyone would agree that being alive is more important. So, how do you prevent yourself from the danger of distracted driving? Put your phone away. Put it silent or just turn it off completely while driving. If so meone is trying to reach you, you can have a better conversation with them when you’re not doing 60mph down the freeway. If you don’t trust yourself not to use your phone, put it on the back seat.

You mat get out with talking on the phone now, but there may be a day when you don’t. Not using your phone may be an inconvenience, but it’s better to be safe while driving.

51. What is author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To tell people about the wide use of the cellphone. B. To advice people to answer the phone while driving. C. To introduce the topic of distracted driving.

D. To tell people how to be good drivers.

52. According to the study, ________ when driving are four times more likely involved in car accident?

A. people who talk on a cellphone B. people who quarrel with others C. people who are drunk

D. people who think about things

53. How can we protect ourselves form the dangers of distracted driving? ① Turn the phone off

② Talk on the phone while driving at over 60mph on the freeway ③ Put the phone on silent ④ Put the phone on the back seat

A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④

. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The wide use of cellphone among teenagers. B. The causes of car accidents.

C. The dangers of using phone while driving. D. Ways to avoid car accidents.

五、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分）

阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词)。

For years I have noticed that one common characteristic that successful

people have is curiosity. Why is curiosity important? Because it gives you a fresh perspective(视角)and fresh ideas. Curious people can see things that many other people can’t. So how can you develop curiosity? Here are some tips that you can follow:

Expect things to be fun.

Instead of expecting things to be boring, expect them to be fun. This small change in your thinking can make a big difference. Once you do it, it will be much easier for you to find the fun side of almost anything. And also, more doors

of opportunity will be open for you. Always have questions in your mind.

Whenever you deal with a topic, have questions in your mind. Find the answers and ask new questions. Questions keep your mind engaged (忙于). They can change your learning process from being boring to a treasure hunt. Take on a new challenge(挑战).

By taking on a new challenge, you will want to prove to yourself (and perhaps

to others) that you can make it. One good way to do that is to create a competition with your friends to find out who can do something faster or better. Connect new things with what you’ve already known.

Things will be more exciting if you can connect what you’re learning with what you’ve already known. Why? Because that improves your understanding of the world and allows you to see new things that you haven’t noticed be-fore. Add variety(多样性) to your life.

Find new possibilities by exploring new topics. Read books in new fields. Meet people from all walks of life.

All the advice above can be summarised(概括)in just one phrase: make things fun.

How to Develop Curiosity ___56___on curiosity how to develop Curiosity provides you with a new perspective and new ideas. Curious people can often see ___55___ things than many other ● Don’t think that things are boring, or one more door of opportunity will be __57__ to you. ● Question things non-stop.
