"Where there is a will, there is a way." Perhaps not many students can understand this better than 22-year-old Michael Ha. Because of his story of success, he has become an example to many young people.
Michael Ha was born in a very poor family. His parents worked in Vietnam before they moved to Britain in 1980. They couldn't find work in Britain because they spoke little English. The whole family had to live on benefits （救济金） and they lived in a small house in Hackney, a poor area in East London. Growing up was not easy for Michael, but he never gave up.
At the age of 10, he set his heart on going to Cambridge University. It was not easy, either. Michael studied at a school, which used to be called "the worst school in Britain". However, young Michael made up his mind to try his best, no matter what kind of school he was studying at. The smart boy studied very hard and did well in every subject at school. Once he made a bet(打赌)with his friend to learn further maths. As a result, after spending just four months teaching himself from a textbook, he got an A in AS-level further maths.
Now Michael is the star medical student at St. John's College, Cambridge and has just own an award for his excellent grades. He hopes he will be an inspiration for other young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

“43. ________ so that we can get ready and won't feel afraid when there's a tornado，” says Tiffany Taylor, a high school student from Texas. “There's no basement at my school, so we usually go to the hallways on the lowest floors. Of course, we never sit near the windows.”
After the tornado, people first check to see if it is safe to go out and then they check the buildings and the area for damage(破坏).44. ________！
In China, we are not so often troubled by tornadoes, but we do have disasters like earthquakes, or an unexpected fire. It is important to know how to keep us safe when a disaster happens.

Passage C 根据短文内容回答问题。
Tanghulu is fruit covered with sugar on a stick. It is a traditional snack from northern China. It's also a necessary snack during the Chinese New Year season. Recently, in northern China, people welcome the return of spring by holding the Tanghulu Fair(庙会).
Many Chinese still remember eating Tanghulu when they were young. It is said that the fair has a 500-year-old history. Nowadays, Tanghulu is not only a kind of snack, but it is also a sweet memory of our childhood. Every year, a large number of Tanghulu sellers get together to start Tanghulu Competition during the Spring Festival holidays. In the past, this traditional snack only used haws (山楂), but now it also uses grapes,oranges, strawberries and so on. But people like Haw Tanghulu best. They are rich in vitamin C and E. Do you know how to make Haw Tanghulu First, wash the large haws,dig the seeds(籽)out,and pierce(串) ten haws on a stick. Then heat the sugar, put the sticks of haws into the heated sugar and quickly pull them out. When the sugar on the haws cools down and becomes a candy coat, the Tanghulu is done. Tanghulu is very popular in China, especially in Beijing. It also makes many foreigners want to taste it.
We hope Tanghulu will become one of the most popular snacks in the world.

Passage D 阅读下面短文,完成表格。（每空一词）
Cooking should be considered as art just like any other activity which requires skills and knowledge. It is often said that students are supposed to learn scientific facts as well as how to prepare meals. The following reasons will explain why cooking should be taught in schools.
Cooking is an important skill in life.
Schools are supposed to teach knowledge to the students so that they can lead successful independent lives when they are out of school. Also, they can step into the world knowing how to make a living.
Cooking helps discover future career.
When schools offer cooking lessons, students will show an interest in it and might take cooking as a career. This will give them the chance to perfect their basic skills and be creative in the kitchen.
Cooking avoids wasting money.
One of the main reasons why cooking should be taught in schools is that the students always use a lot of money to buy ready-made food, while in the real sense they could prepare a nice meal with less cost by buying the required ingredients(配料).
Cooking betters math learning.
Schools do not just teach how to prepare delicious meals. Students are also taught to follow the instructions in a standard when mixing ingredients. If it is, ‘add 1/4 spoon(勺子) of salt,’ students should only add that amount. So there is no more and less.
Cooking Should Be Taught in Schools.
Opinion Students should learn scientific knowledge and cooking skills.
51.________ An important skill in life Students can lead independent lives 53.________ when at home alone. Students can depend on themselves for basic living after graduation.
Discovering future career Students might be 54.________in taking good career. Students can perfect their basic skills and be creative in the kitchen.

March 20th is the International Day of Happiness. The United Nations set it up in 2012 to remind us that happiness is a basic human goal and right(权利).
It was celebrated for the first time in 2013. On that day, we celebrated hundreds of " Happy Heroes" --those who did so much to bring happiness to others. 64.They helped the homeless to live a comfortable life and the poor kids to go to school.
The 2015 Day of Happiness actions gave attention to relationships. The modern society is leaving more and more people feeling lonely. 65.On that day, thousands of people all around the world made new connections with others. They visited their neighbors, gave calls to the doctors they didn't know well, drove the strangers to the station for free.
The theme of the Day of Happiness was“Happier Together”. It encouraged people worldwide to give attention to what we have in common, rather than what divides (使对立）us.
