Ho Khanh is a middle-aged farmer, living in a village on the edge of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Vietnam. What is special about him is that he has discovered Son Doong, the largest cave in the world.

"I first found the cave more than twenty years ago, in 1991," he says. "I was out collecting firewood near the national park. My family were very poor, so I decided to go deeper into the forest to find some aloe (芦荟), which is very valuable. Not many people went that far into the forest because they were afraid of the wild animals. "

Soon Khanh lost his way. "I sat down with my back to a huge round rock," he says. "Then I heard the sound of a strong wind and running water coming from behind me. " He

found the entrance to a huge cave, with a wide river coming out of it. Khanh thought he was walking into a great cave. With no ropes or lights, he did not go further into it.

Khanh's story spread like wildfire, but not everyone believed him. "I wanted to prove

that I was telling the truth, but I couldn't remember the way to the cave. " Then one morning early in the winter of 2006, a group of cavers from Britain came to ask Khanh for help, as they had heard about his discovery fifteen years before.

Khanh agreed to help the team to find the cave, but after three days in the jungle, they

lost their way. "Ijust couldn't remember where it was," he says. The team came back twice,

but each time they were beaten by the thick jungle. Finally the cavers left.

In 2009, Khanh headed to the jungle one cold winter's morning. "I stopped by a big

round rock," he says. "There was the same strong wind, the sound of water running-l knew

I'd found the cave at last. " Soon the British cavers returned and followed Khanh on a six-hour trip deep into the jungle. On April 14 they found Son Doong.

Desert conditions vary according to their location, but there is one common feature among all; deserts are dry lands. Many people think that deserts are uninhabitable, but they are

home t0 1 billion people, according to "National Geographic". Many plants and animals have adapted to survive in the harsh conditions.

Deserts are commonly thought of as extremely hot places, but that isn't true of them all. The Gobi desert in Mongolia is hot during summer, but in winter, it's one of the coldest des-

erts in the world. On the other hand, the African Sahara desert is extremely hot and can reach temperatures of 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Deserts are at their hottest during the day, and many animals only come out during the cooler nights.

The most common desert weather is sun and a clear sky. Sporadic (偶尔发生的) rain storms occur in some deserts, and they can cause floods that sweep through the landscape. In colder deserts, snow is common in winter and at night.

Deserts are dry places. They frequently lose water because it evaporates （蒸发) too quickly in the heat. To be classified as a desert, they have to receive less than 10 inches of rain per year. Some plants have adapted to these dry conditions by growing long roots to reach the water that is stored deep down below the surface. Some people who live in the desert have dug wells and connected underground streams to direct the vital water to their villages.

Sand and rocks form the terrain （地貌) of most deserts. Snow can fall in the coldest ones, and during winter the ground can frost over. Sand dunes (沙丘) are often associated

with deserts, but these are only found in 10 percent of them. More common features are mountains and large rocks.

28. The underlined word "harsh" in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to" ".

A. good

B. normal

C. severe

D. stable

29. According to Paragraph 2, we can know that .

A. all the deserts are extremely hot

B. the Sahara desert is the hottest one in the world

C. all the animals in the deserts only come out in the night

D. the weather of the Gobi desert varies a lot as the season changes

30. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?

A. The plants in deserts.

B. The water condition in deserts.

C. The villages' scenes in deserts.

D. The quality of the rain in deserts.

31. Which of the following can we infer from the text?

A. Floods occur occasionally in some deserts.

B. There are one million people living on deserts.

C. It seldom snows in the winter of colder deserts.

D. Few deserts are formed by mountains and rocks.

Marjorie grew up with a sense of worthlessness. Again and again her father said she would never accomplish anything in life. He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure. With these words constantly ringing in her ears she grew up

looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth. This led her into relationships that disappointed her, ending in pain yet, which was another proof that she was worthless and unlovable. Where does our sense of self-worth come from?

It is true that the foundation for a person's self-worth is laid in the home. Words that we hear in our home can build or tear down our worth. Encouraging words are words of life to us while words of criticism are words of death. Other people like teachers, friends and employers add to the collection of life-giving death words in a person's heart. Over time a person begins

to see themselves in the light of these words. In this situation can one develop a sense of worth?

Feeling worthless is possibly the most obvious symptom of low self-esteem (自尊心).

But it's easy to overcome. However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you interact with others and make caring decisions. Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice. Feeling worthless means that you're not doing as well in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your

self-esteem. To feel worthwhile, you'll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself.

All human beings are capable of adding value to society, including you. Thus there are no excuses for saying things like "I'm worthless, stupid, useless, helpless" because you have the choice not to be any of these things.

32. From Paragraph l, we can know that____.

A. Marjorie was a very confident woman

B. family education affects children's growth

C. fathers decide children's future development

D. children shouldn't follow their parents' advice

33. The third paragraph mainly shows us____.

A．what is self-esteem

B．why we feel worthless

C. when we should make a choice

D. how we should change ourselves

34. It can be inferred from the passage that ．

A. all of us can contribute to society

B. our self-esteem is only built at home

C. people should treat children strictly like their parents

D. people should accomplish anything that matters to us

35. Which of the following is the best title of this text?

A. The reasons for worthlessness

B. The importance of fathers' education

C. Take action to become worthwhile

D. Study hard to get self-esteem

We're told breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner is the most enjoy- able because it is a chance to spend time with the family. But what about lunch? 36 Most of us just rush right through it. They catch a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at their computers. Sometimes, they just skip lunch.

37 We're often distracted by e-mail, social media, and 24-hour news. Even when we do sit down for lunch, we are more connected to our handy electronic devices than ourselves.

Unluckily, long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems. So many devel- oped countries have put in place labor laws about the lunch break. 38

Frank Partnoy,a former Wall Street trader, says that bosses should encourage workers

to take time off for lunch. This is because a long lunch break is good for both individuals and society. He says that taking a lunch break can help one slow down and gain new ideas. 39 Especially, when we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat happily with workmates, we're more likely to relax and be full of energy again.

40 Partnoy's suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult: Bosses could ask workers to

fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal.

A. Without food the body will slow down.

B. Few people spend enough time enjoying this midday meal.

C.A break from work allows us to think strategically.

D. One reason could be that they do not have a good example.

E. These rules give workers the right to take a break during long work.

F. Despite these benefits, some are still unwilling to take time off for lunch.

G. The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either.

What's your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success 61 (come) only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements are not true all 62 time. Each is true in some ways but not in others.

For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and won surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see "Titanic".1 was really lucky because it was the first time I

63 (take) part in the competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I tried joining in other art competitions, but the result was that I never won again .I accepted the fact that the

other people had a 64 (great) artistic 65 (able) than I did. Art was not something 1 was especially 66 (interest) in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the drawings 67 were produced by me were not of a very high standard. These experiences taught 68 (I)a lot. 69 I might have been lucky at first, I also need to put in hard work.
