Ellen MacArthur is a great British woman. In 2005, she set a new world record for sailing (驾帆船航行的世界纪录) around the world fastest on her own. In 2010, she stopped sailing and started to do charity (慈善) work.
Ellen was born in Derbyshire, England in 1976 and lived there with her parents, who were both teachers, and her two brothers. She started sailing with her aunt Thea when she was just four years old and spent her free time reading books about sailing.
When she was eight, she started to save her school dinner money to buy her first boat.
She was eleven when she had the money to buy it. When she was seventeen, Ellen bought another boat and named it “Iduna”. In 1995, she sailed it on her own around Great Britain.
In 2009, Ellen said she planned to stop sailing. A year later, she used $500, 000 to start A charity called the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. The charity works to make young people think differently about the future and learn to reuse things. She wants to help more people to use renewable things like energy (能源) from the sun, wind and water.
Ellen says by 2050 there will be more plastic (塑料) than fish in the sea. And she wants her charity to do something about this. Ellen says the greatest challenge (挑战) in her life is to make a difference to people’s way of using things.
26. When did Ellen become the fastest one to sail around the world by herself
A. In 1995. B. In 2005. C. In 2009. D. In 2010.
27. How long did it take Ellen to save money to buy her first boat
A. Nine years. B. Seven years. C. Five years. D. Three years.
28. What does the underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 4 mean

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people who volunteer their time to help others often feel happier. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
30. The best title of this passage is ________.
A. Money Makes You Happy B. The Secrets of Happiness
C. Ideas for Helping Other People D. Good Friends Make You Happy
31 The second paragraph tells us that ________.
A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be
B. we shouldn’t think about our future
C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life
D. some people fail to live a happy life
32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A Reading a good book. B. Traveling to a foreign country.
C. Playing a sport. D. Helping around the house.
33. The writer thinks that ________.
A. everyone knows how to live a happier life B. it’s wrong to spend time on work
C. hobbies take up too much time D. doing good things for others can make you happier
C
Young people enjoy different kinds of drinks, though they know how bad drinks are for their health. What about you What will happen to you if you only drink water
Chris Bailey, a popular blogger (博客作者), tried this out. Here is what he has found.
First, you lose weight (减肥) faster. Yeah, you do! You don’t have to exercise but just keep away from drinks for 9 days. It is the same as running for 8 kilometers a day! So write down your resolution (决心) on a piece of paper and put it on the wall. And you will see the result soon.
Sometimes when you have to stay up late for a test, a cup of tea or coffee is usually put at the side of your desk. But do you know 75 to 85 percent of your brain (大脑) is water Nothing else! Just by drinking water, your brain can work efficiently. You may remember things quickly and well.
What’s more, water washes out something bad in your body. So drinking enough water can stop you from getting old quickly. If you want to look young and beautiful as long as possible, drink a glass of water right now! Keep on doing it for longer, and you will be surprised to touch your soft and clean skin (皮肤).
Lastly, you save money! How much money do you spend on coffee and juice every week The price of water is much lower than that of other drinks. Drink 5 glasses of water every day or visit doctors Think about it!
So, what are you waiting for

Dear Sarah,
I miss you very much. I have been studying in this new school for one year. Let me tell you something about my life.
I was shy in the past, but now I am more outgoing. I make more friends at school. I don’t care if friends are the same or different. I become one of the most popular students in our school. On the weekends I often play basketball with my friends. I play it at least three times a week. Sometimes I go to the library on Saturday. The main reason is that I can learn something new there. For TV shows, I can’t stand soap operas. I like the Beijing Opera because it is more meaningful. I plan to watch it once a week. Last week I won the first prize in the singing competition. My dream is to be a music teacher. I am trying to make my dream come true.
How about your life I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
