An eight-year-old girl heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman.
“It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“Pardon?” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much doe s a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.” said the girl.
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Le t’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

Mark Twain (1835—1910) is one of the great American authors. He published his most famous works in the later decades of the 19th century, when the US was still building a literary (文学的) tradition for itself.
Twain created a kind of writing that was named “local color literature”. The term means that the writing contains many references to the culture of the story’s location. For Twain in particular, his works are filled with references to the southern states of the US, particularly the lives of the people along the Mississippi river. Y ou feel it in his descriptions of places and the way he makes his characters speak. This is clear in his most famous work, the novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
This story is the self-told tale of a boy who lives with a kind old woman. She wants Huck to grow up properly, and takes good care of him. However, like his friend Tom Sawyer, the famous character of an earlier novel by Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Huck doesn’t like to follow rules. He lives the way he wants to, not the way other people want him to.
During his adventures, Finn runs away from home—to get away from school, and his nasty father. Along the way, he creates a friendship with a runaway slave, Jim. Together, they forge (创造) the most famous childhood friendship in American literature.
Even though it’s his most famous work, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is just one of Twain’s many achievements in literature. He’s also an author of “famous quotes (引语)”. Like words by other 19th century authors like Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854—1900) and Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856—1950), Twain’s words are often quoted in other books.
One of his most famous quotes came from a letter he sent to a newspaper, after it had published that he’d died. “Rumors (谣言) of my death,” Twain wrote, “are greatly exaggerated (夸张)”.
28. According to the article, what is the main feature of Mark Twain’s works?
A. They are mostly about children’s adventures.
B. They are about every culture across the US.
C. They focus on the lives of upper-class Americans.
D. They feature the culture of the southern states of the US.
29. What can we learn about Huck from the article?
A. He lives a poor life with his mother.
B. He loves to be free and be himself.
C. He is smart and does well at school.
D. He runs away to find his friend Jim.
30. What similarity does Mark Twain share with Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, according to
Paragraph 5?
A. They all started a new literary tradition.
B. They all produced many well-known quotes.
C. They all created impressive characters in literature.
D. They all made a great contribution to American literature.
31. What’s the article mainly about?
A. Mark Twain’s most famous novel.
B. The origin of local color literature.
C. American great author—Mark Twain.
D. The influence of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
D
A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts(债务) than any before.
University tuition fees are currently capped at ￡3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.
In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average ￡31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just ￡17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than ￡10,000. A verage debts for graduates are ￡12,363.
Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said. “The more exposed(接触) young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.”
Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans(贷款) and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.
32. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?
A.Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.
B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.
C. Students understand personal finances differently.
D. The students’ payback ability has become a major issue.
33. The phrase “to raise the ceiling” in paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A. to raise the student loans
B. to improve the school facilities
C. to lift the school building roofs
D. to increase the upper limit of the tuition
34. According to Stephen Moir, students _______.
A. are too young to be exposed to financial issues
B. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance
C. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loans
D. should learn to manage their finances well
35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters well.
B. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.
C. Financial planning is a required course at college.
D. Y oung people should become responsible adults.

Earthquakes are sudden rolling or shaking eve nts caused by movement under the earth’s surface. Earthquakes happen along cracks in the earth’s surface, called fault lines, and can be felt over large areas, although they usually last less than one minute. Earthquakes can happen at any time of the year. They cannot be predicted — although scientists are trying hard! 36
Before: prepare
Look around places where you spend time. 37 And when the shaking starts, you drop to the ground, cover your head and neck with your arms, crawl to the places and hold on.
During: survive
If you are inside a building, stay where you are until the shaking stops. Do not run outside or get in a doorway. 38 Cover your head and neck with your arms to protect yourself from falling objects.
If you are in bed, stay there and cover your head and neck with a pillow. At night, dangerous things are difficult to see and avoid. 39
After: recover
When the shaking stops, look around. If there is a clear path to safety, leave the building and go to an open space away from damaged areas. If you are trapped, tap on a pipe or wall or use a whistle, if you have one. 40
A.In this way, rescuers can locate you.
B.So what should we do about them?
C.Rescuers will come when they hear your screaming.
D.The following items tell you what you should do before them.
E.This does not provide protection from falling or flying objects.
F.So attempts to move in the dark result in more injuries than remaining in bed.
G. Find safe places such as under a piece of furniture or against a wall in your home, office or school.
