“Dad said to me, ‘Buy a newspaper with that. Read every word of it. Then turn to the classified section and get yourself a job. Get into the world. It’s all yours now.’”
“I always thought that was a great joke my father had played on me until a few years later when I was in the Army, sitting in a foxhole 11 (隐蔽所), and thinking about my family and my life. It was then realized that my friends had gotten only new cars, or only new clothes. My father has given me the whole world. What a greater gift!”

Task 2
Direction: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel very lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time, they will make up and go on being friends.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. It could be that we will never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some parks are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well, or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

A) invent B) put together C) end a quarrel D) complete

Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made of concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean. Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. Although the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.
In modern zoos, people can see animals in more habitats (家园). The animals are given more freedom in large areas so that they can live as they would in nature, even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow through the areas that animals live in. There are few bars; instead, there is often only a deep ditch, filled with water, surrounding an area where several species 13 of animals live together as they would naturally do.
