In October 2002, Winston Churchill was chosen by the British people as “the greatest British man”. The great British men behind him were Shakespeare, Newton, and Darwin. But many people did not know that Churchill was thought to be a bad boy when he was a child.

At the age of seven, Winston Churchill was sent to a boarding(寄宿) school named St. George. The school rules were strict. He often got serious punishment. Churchill cried loudly and kicked wildly when he was beaten. At the end of the term, he returned home with a report card and pains all over his body. The report card said that he was “naughty”(顽皮的).
At the age of twelve, his father sent him to Harrow Public School, which was famous for training English gentlemen. Because he failed the entrance exam, he was placed in the last group of the class with worst grades. He fell behind the others in study. He gave many people the impression of low energy, strangeness, and lawlessness. Fortunately, he still had a friend, his grandfather. The American of great wealth who had experienced the world said, “Let him go! As long as boys have the chance to show their talents, they are sure to become better.” Churchill kept the words of his grandfather in mind, and secretly looked for it in his heart.
Many years later, Churchill was already a successful politician and writer. He worked as a reporter, as Secretary of the Navy, and as Prime Minister (首相) of the United Kingdom. He said, “My grandfather taught me that boys must choose their own path. I don’t have special talents and my success is by working hard.”
34. The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. Churchill loved his school B. Churchill got good education
C. Churchill got less punishment D. Churchill was considered as a bad boy
35. Churchill’s grandfather was ________.
A. a gentleman from the UK B. of great help to Churchill
C. rich with little experience D. unsure of Churchill's becoming better
36 The underlined word “Fortunately” in the third paragraph probably means ________.

③Churchill was sent to a boarding school.
④Churchill’s grandfather encouraged him a lot.

Just the other day, I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to make friends with foreigners. As a Canadian living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really caught my attention and I must say, made me feel quite angry. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an "opportunity (机会)" to improve your oral English; whenever you see a foreigner, American or English, you should practise speaking English with him or her. If the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a rude person who you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I think this advice is not only incorrect, but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China.
Like most other "Lao Wai" living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from our own familiar (熟悉的) ways. However, I simply accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been rewarding. I have improved my Chinese language skills, learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.
However, I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an "opportunity" to improve their oral English. I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me to teach them English. I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation. I have had people asking me non-stop questions for half an hour at the weekly English Corner ...
Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone whose company (陪伴) they really enjoy. So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not opportunities. Expect to make friendships step by step, over a period of time, not in a rush. ____ If your only reason for becoming fiends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will probably find that you don’t have a foreign friend for long.
39. Where is the writer of this passage from?
A. America B. China C. Canada D. England
40. Why is the writer of the passage interested in the book "How to make friends with foreigners" ?
A. Because he wants to have some more close Chinese Friends.
B. Because he has greatly improved his Chinese language skills,
C. Because no Chinese people would like to make friends with him.
D. Because he wants to know about the Chinese writer’s advice on this topic.
41. According to the writer of the book "How to make friends with foreigners" , ________.
A. his advice may make foreigners angry
B. it is rude of you to ask a foreigner questions
C. you should choose a good foreigner to practise English with
D. don’t waste time on a foreigner who doesn’t answer your questions
42. In the fourth paragraph, the writer uses "I have had…" three times, because ________.
A. he had no better sentences to express his ideas.
B. he wanted to show how he hated to make friends with Chinese.
C. he wanted to show how he hated to be treated as an “opportunity”.
D. he met Chinese who wanted to make friends with him only three times.
43. Which sentence may be the best to fill in the "________" in the last paragraph?
A. True friendships stand (经得起) the test of time.
B. Learn about different cultures to make real friends.
C. Friends are about opportunities or personal advantages.
D. There’s real friendship between people from different countries.

The FA Cup

The FA Cup is a very special football competition It is the oldest football competition in the world as it has been played since 1871. It is also famous for the number of football teams in England that enter.
More than 700 football teams take part in the competition every year. That is all of the teams from the four professional (职业的) leagues and hundreds of small non-professional clubs. These clubs come from small towns and villages from around England.
Because there are so many teams, it lasts for a very long time. The early games are only between the small teams. After six matches, the professional teams from the third and fourth league enter and then, two games later, the biggest clubs from the Premier League.
Often very small clubs will play against big teams. There have been many surprise results in the past many years. Teams from the fifth league have even won against teams from the Premier League, but a Premier League team does usually win the comp
