Most people have ambitions. An ambition is something we want to do, want to be or want to have. A student’s ambition, for example, might be to pass his or her exams and then get a good job. An athlete’s ambition could be to win an important competition. A businessman’s ambition is usually to make a lot of money.
Not all ambitions are about success at work，however. Some people just want to be good people, have a family or help others.
Ben’s ambition is to be a sports writer. He writes the sports reports for his class newspaper. He likes most sports, but swimming and football are his favourites. Trudy’s ambition is to be a concert pianist. She is very serious about it and practises every day with her best friend Lily. It is very important to her.
Harry’s ambition changes every day. One day he wants to be an astronaut(宇航员). The next day he wants to be a pop singer. The next day he wants to drive a racing car. His mother would be happy if his ambition was to get up in time for school every day.

“Good evening, guys!” said the teacher, Donna. It was summer time. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance (出席) was always smaller than during autumn and spring terms.
“Oh, well. Let’s get started, OK? We are on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we are studying participles (分词) as adjectives. Students are always confused (迷惑的) when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot. Tonight, we are just going to practice the present participle.
The teacher talked about it for a long time and she gave five examples so that the children could understand it more easily. After a while, the teacher asked, “Any questions so far? Are you following me now?”
The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at the blank (空白的) faces. They were confused. She knew this would take some time. But finally, the faster students would grasp (掌握) it, and then they would help the slower students. By the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.
Donna erased the blackboard and put some new examples on it. She loved helping students through the difficult points like this one. She always felt a bit excited when the look of understanding came to their faces.
( ) 7. When Donna began her English class, ________________.
A. it was in the morning.
B. it was in autumn or spring.
C. all the students were in the classroom.
D. a few students didn’t come to the classroom.
( ) 8.Why was the classroom quiet?

B. Because the students did n’t want to answer the questions.
C. Because the students couldn’t understand the teacher in the beginning.
D. Because Donna was too strict with all the students and they were afraid of her. ( ) 9. At last, in that evening, ______________.
A. no one could understand what the teacher taught.
B. most of the students could use the present participle.
C. only some faster students could understand what the teacher taught.

四、阅读与表达（共5题，每小题1分）（每空一词）
People talk about the problems of losing weight, but most people don’t know how the body
works or they are unwilling to change their lifestyles.
One problem is that when they try to lose weight, people often feel hungry. In fact, slimming doesn’t mean eating less. It just means e ating differently. You should eat more food rich in fiber(纤维) instead of food high in fat. It is possible to be slim without ever feeling hungry. Eating more nutrient-rich(营养丰富的) food also means you feel less hungry because your body is getting what it needs.
Another difficulty is the desire(欲望). Most people say that they cannot eat their favorite food because of the weight-loss plans, which causes (导致) them to eat too much “bad” food. A slimming plan shouldn’t mean you can never eat “bad” food. While there is some food that you should pay attention to, you can still take small amounts (量) now and then. Eating one chocolate bar once in a while is not going to end a healthy eating plan.
Time can be another problem. When you’re busy, it seems much easier to just have a snack than to prepare a “good” meal. Slimming do esn’t mean you will have to spend more time. You can fill your fridge with some food that can be thrown into a bag and eaten anytime. Also,
