In October 1961 at Crowley Field in Cincinnati Ohio an old deaf gentleman named William E. Hoy stood up to throw the first ball of the World Series. Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired(退休) from professional baseball 58 years earlier in 1903. However he had been an outstanding player and the deaf people still talk about him and his years in baseball.

William E. Hoy was born in Houckstown Ohio on May 23, 1862. He became deaf when he was two years old. He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the deaf. After graduation he started playing baseball while working as a shoemaker.

Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh(Wisconsin) of the Northwestern League. In 1888 he started as an outfielder(外場(chǎng)手) with the old Washington Senators. His small figure and speed made him an outstanding base runner. He was very good at stealing bases during his career. In the 1888 major league season he stole 82 bases. He was also the Senators' leading hitter in 1888. Hoy was clever and he threw right－h(huán)anded and batted left－h(huán)anded. On June 19,1889 he threw out three batters(擊球手) at the plate from his outfield position.

The arm signals used by judges today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy. The judge lifted his right arm to show that the pitch was a strike and his left arm to signal that it was a ball.

For many years people talked about Hoy's last ball game in 1903. He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League. It was a memorable game because Hoy hit a wonderful ball which won the game. It was a very foggy day and therefore very hard to see the ball. In the ninth inning(棒球的一局) with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out in spite of the fog. Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the game.

After he retired Hoy stayed busy. He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years. He also became a public speaker and travelled giving speeches. Until a few years before his death he took 4－10 mile walks several mornings a week. On December 15, 1961 William Hoy died at the age of 99.

6. In which order did the following things happen in Hoy's life?

a. Hoy worked as a shoemaker.

b. Hoy began to run a diary farm.

c. Hoy played a memorable game in the heavy fog.

d. Hoy threw the first ball of the World Series.

e. Hoy became deaf.

A. d, e, a, c, b      B. e, a, c, b, d

C. d, a, e, c, b       D. e, a, b, c, d

7. We can infer from the last paragraph that Hoy ________ in his late years.

A. became famous                      

B. led a relaxed life

C. travelled around the world       

D. was in good physical condition

8. This passage is mainly about ________.

A. a deaf player devoted to the game of baseball

B. baseball game rules and important players

C. the rise in the social position of the deaf people

D. where the baseball judge hand signals came from

9. What can be inferred from this passage?

A. Hoy was the greatest baseball player in his time.

B. Speaking and listening are not necessary in baseball games.

C. The judge had to study the hand signals very seriously.

D. Hoy's family encouraged him to become a baseball player.

More than 30 million kids buy school lunch each day. This year, many schools raised lunch prices to fight raising costs. Students pay about $2 a meal now. That is 27 cents more than last year. But they still get a good deal. The average cost for schools to produce one meal has gone up 30 cents, and is now $3. 

So, how do schools neither make money nor lose money? To start, the government pays for a small part of the difference. Schools have to make up the rest. Peggy Eller, a leader of school nutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) service in Hudson, Wisconsin, said her district is cutting costs by using fewer paper products and serving smaller portion(份額). Well, portion control is one key to healthful eating! 

The push for more healthful food has grown in recent years. One in five kids aged 6 to 19 is overweight. Being overweight can cause health problems. Many states passed laws that require schools to serve nutritious meals. 

Since 2004, more than 90% of all U.S. Schools have removed the fat from lunches. Foods high in fat, salt and sugar have been replaced by low-fat milk, fresh fruits and vegetables. These new items on lunch menus have encouraged kids to change their eating habits. “It makes easier to try new things at home, “said Savanna Mackey, a Florida fifth-grader.  

Students need healthful meals to grow strong and do well in school. “Rising prices won’t stand in the way,”says school nutritionist Jane Thornton. “We’ll just be more clever in how we do things.”

1.In the first paragraph, the author aims to tell us         .

A. the large number of kids buying school lunch

B. the average price of school lunch

C. the school's ways to deal with school lunch

D. the fact of school lunch's getting more expensive

2.Many school districts raised lunch prices because         .

A. there is less healthful food on the menus

B. the cost of food has gone up

C. kids often forget to bring lunch money

D. some school dining-halls are serving smaller portions

3.According to Paragraph 4, Savanna Mackey       .

A. doesn't like the new items on the lunch menus

B. always enjoys foods like fresh and vegetables

C. becomes interested in eating healthy food at home

D. prefers eating at school to eating at home

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. American schools solve the problem of high food prices by themselves.

B. American schools are very concerned about their students’ health.

C. Almost all schools are forced by the government to serve healthy foods.

D. American childhood overweight is mainly caused by the present lunch foods.

Everyone gets sick of hearing. “Put on your seat belt!”But it’s good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.

The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.

These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.

New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats.

While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.

1.The underlined sentence “Everyone gets sick of hearing”in the first paragraph means“________”.

A．there is something wrong with everyone’s ears

B．a(chǎn)ll people fall ill when they hear something

C．many people don’t pay attention to wearing seat belts

D．none of the people knows it is a piece of good advice

2.More than two-third of 1,627 children were killed because ___________.

A．they weren’t using seat belts

B．they were too careful when they walked on the road

C．they were not old enough to sit in the car

D．they wore seat belts

3.You must get your children to put on seat belts in order to ________.

A．keep them comfortable in the car seat       B．keep them safe

C．keep them awake in the car all the time      D．prevent all kinds of traffic accidents

4.What would be the best title of this passage?

A．Children Should Put on Seat Belts.

B．Too Many Traffic Accidents Happened Recently.

C．Traffic Laws Are Very Important.

D．Parents Are Important to Children.

In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a necessary way for success as a graduate from first-class university may always get more opportunities than others.

1. Bill Gates

Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout,” while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a decade.

Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.

The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school.

Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great influences on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not worthless.

3. Frank Lloyd Wright

As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather than attending classes in them. Once spent one year in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then he left for Chicago and started to learn from Louis Sullivan, the “father of modernism."
