Here are some 17 about taking steps towards finding your life’s purpose.

Firstly, make a list of the things you do for fun, including some jobs that you prefer, your 18 and so on.

Finally, make a list of the things you do naturally 24 thinking about them.

person, such as Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and Martin Luther King (January 15).

Another kind of anniversary celebrates the ―birth‖ of a state or a nation. Many U.S. states have celebrated their 100th anniversary of the date when they became states. One of the most popular national holidays in the USA is the 4th of July, the anniversary of the country’s birth as a nation. The USA celebrated its 200th―birthday‖ on July 4, 1976. This anniversary was so important that it was celebrated the whole year.

Another common anniversary is the wedding anniversary. It’s the date when a couple are married. The main wedding anniversaries are the silver (after 25 years of marriage), the golden (after 50 years), and the diamond anniversary (after 60 years).

28. According to the passage, why do people in America celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King?

Li Xin: Ms. Jocelyn Chey, as we know, there are more and more Chinese students studying in Australia. Since Australia is a multicultural society, it is

probably hard for Chinese students to fit in with it. As an Australian, do you

have any advice or recommendations for our youth?

Chey: As for Chinese students, they have to be a little bit more open-minded. After all, we wo n’t go overseas to find the country just the same with our own. So

if you go overseas, you should expect things to be different. I hope the

Chinese students can be patient and find some things to enjoy.

Li Xin: Yes, but to open up one’s mind, one needs to prepare. How do you recommend them to do before going abroad?

Chey: I think, when students are going overseas, they might worry about whether they will be lonely, homesick or safe. So if the student has always lived with

the family and has no experience of being independent, it will be hard for

him to get used to being overseas. Different from young Australians,

Chinese young people are not so used to being independent, such as

traveling on their own. Perhaps in preparing to go overseas, young people

could try to travel in China on their own. We mentioned safety, yeah?

Really Australia is a safe place, however, we do have crime. So it is not

very safe in some places. When you go to a city, the first thing is to find out

from the local people which are the safe and not safe places.

Li Xin: It’s r eally very kind of you to tell us so much valuable information. Thank you indeed.

31. Li Xin is probably a/an _____.

A. reporter

B. doctor

C. writer

D. engineer

with our own‖, the underlined word ―we‖ refers to _____.

A. Australian students

B. students from China and Australia

C. students who want to study abroad

D. Chinese students who want to study abroad

33. Which can be a good example of ―has no experience of being independent‖?

A. Jane studies very hard and she is a top student.

B. Lucy likes travelling in big cities on her own.

C. Jack has done few things by himself so far.

D. Lin Tao once saved Mrs. Sun’s life from a fire.

34. According to Chey, what should be the first thing to do when you go to a city in

Australia?

A. To get used to the life in that city.

B. To find support from the local government.

C. To make friends with local people in that city.

D. To find out which are the safe and not safe places.

D

There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it.

The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it. ―No room! No room!‖ they cried out when they saw Alice coming. ―There’s plenty of room!‖ said Alice angrily, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table.

―Have some wine,‖ the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. ―I don’t see any wine,‖ she said.

―There isn’t any,‖ said the March Hare.

―Then it was impolite of you not to offer it,‖ said Alice angrily.

―It wasn’t very civil of you to take your seat without invitation,‖ said the March Hare.

―I didn’t know it was your table,‖ said Alice; ―it’s laid for a great many more than three.‖

―Your hair wants cutting,‖ said the Hatter. He had been watching Alice for some time.

―You should l earn not to give your personal idea s,‖ Alice said seriously; ―it’s very rude.‖

The Hatter opened his eyes ver y wide on hearing this; but all he said was, ―Why is a raven(乌鸦) like a writing-desk?‖

―Come, we shall have some fun now!‖ said Alice. ―I’m glad they’ve begun asking riddles(谜语).—I believe I can guess that,‖ she said loudly.

―Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?‖ said the March Hare.

―Exactly so,‖ said Alice.

―Then you should say what you mean,‖ the March Hare went on.

―I do,‖ Alice quickly replied; ―at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.‖

…

Finally, they all began to laugh at Alice.

Skunks are beautiful animals with black-and-white fur coats. They have big tails and seldom eat farm animals. And they do no harm to their neighbours.

Sharp Claws, Short Legs

A skunk has five toes on each foot. Each toe on the front feet has a sharp claw, used for digging. Skunks have short leg s, so they can’t run very fast. But usually they walk slowly. They stop often to dig for something to eat.

It is really meaningful for us to read books in our daily life. However, some students spend a lot of time playing computer games or chatting online. They seldom read books.

It is necessary for us to read good books. Try to make reading become a part of our daily life. We can do some reading in the bookshops or libraries.
