14、Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will affect (影响) your life in some serious way.
Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful (痛苦的) and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failure (失败) you experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.
You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

15、Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA．He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there.

After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him.

16、 People, especially English people, love talking about the weather. It’s an easy way to start a conversation. But do you know some weather terms can also express a feeling or situation. Here are some interesting expressions.
Head in the clouds
If someone has his head in the clouds, they are out of touch with the everyday world and can be unrealistic as a result.
The expression reminds you to be aware of what’s happening around you.
Take a rain check
If you hear someone say “I’ll take a rain check”, it doesn’t mean that he will go out to see if it’s raining.
In fact, the expression could be used as a polite way to turn down invitations. However, not as a full refusal, but more likely to put the invitation off to another time.
When it rains, it pours
The expression is used when something goes wrong, especially when a lot of things go wrong at the same time. People like to say it when they meet with bad lucks one after another in a short time.
Weather the storm
As an extreme weather, a storm could be very dangerous and cause serious results. To weather the storm is to get through difficult situations in your life.
1．Why do English people love talking about the weather in the writer’s opinion?
A．They care about the weather very much.
B．They want to know what’s happening around them.
C．They don’t have other interesting things to talk about.
D．They think it’s an easy way to start a conversation.
2．What does the underlined phrase “turn down” mean?
A．accept B．refuse C．throw D．change
3．Which of the following statements is true?
A．The whole article is telling us how to tell the weather.
B．The writer thinks if someone has his head in the clouds, the person must care about what’s happening very much.
C．When somebody says “when it rains, it pours”, he must be unlucky.
D．The expression “weather the storm” can be used to put off an appointment.

17、Some people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?
Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.
1．According to Paragraph 2, photographs can give us __________.
A．enough information about people and places
B．no information about things
C．some information about things but not enough
D．the wrong information about things
2．Newspapers contain __________.
A．more information than television
B．less information than television
C．more news from other countries
D．less information about important events than TV
3．What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?
A．There are more interesting subjects in novels.
B．We do not hear any music in a novel.
C．Novels always explain what is happening.
D．Novels make us use our imagination.
4．What does the author think about reading?
A．It is a wonderful invention.
B．It is an important part of our lives.
C．It requires no practices.
D．It is not as important as television.

18、More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince（王子）of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.
One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a small wooden bed.
