In the tiny village of Angelica, New York, the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages. There you‟ll find the heart of this lovely community. It‟s where villagers meet and greet friends.

D. Local news.
Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations,” says Pat, “Why couldn‟t we do the same thing with Angelica?”
Pat, who is an artist，created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel. She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U.S. Postal Service. Once approved, the drawing was carved into a cancellation stamp that could be used for one day only. The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special calling the post office Angel Station.
The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica‟s post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.
Now it‟s tradition that on the first Friday in December，people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards. Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December. Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation, some sending mail from as far away as France.

As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course, Alison Thompson，a full-time mum，is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than
Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.” says Alison.
It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron‟s ability didn‟t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades. Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.
Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too. “The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says. Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don‟t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.
28. What does Paragraph 1 indicate? A. Cameron helps Emma with her math tasks. B. Teachers at school ignored Emma‟s problems. C. Both Cameron and Emma need parental support. D. The couple often have fights because of Cameron.
29. What does the underlined phrase “having sailed through his GCSE” probably mean? A. Having passed his GCSE easily.

B. four
C. five
D. six
31. What can be known from the passage? A. Emma has learned to take good care of herself. B. Cameron showed his gift before primary school.
C. The children of the family are bright and gifted. D. Gifted kids are not so different as people expect.

On April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.
As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry ＄l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland‟s many volcanoes.
However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.
Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.
In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked，they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.
I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.
32. What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010? A. He was involved in a car crash. B. He was stuck in Iceland‟s airport. C. He witnessed a volcanic eruption.
D. He was badly injured on a bike ride.
33. Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull? A. Economy was cost globally by the eruption. B. Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily. C. The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted. D. Most of the world‟s planes were held up. 34. Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano? A. It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well. B. It symbolized the accident that changed his life. C. It encouraged him to know more about himself. D. It told us to make the most of given situation. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Inspiration from Disasters C. Love for Earth Science
B. Escape from Volcanoes D. Attitude towards Nature

As the saying goes, chance favored the prepared mind. I learned this from one of my experience.
I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another tryout arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team.
From this, I am firmly convincing that we are able to seize a chance as long as I get well prepared.
