During the Warring States Period (475﹣221 BC), King Zhao of the State of Yan
wanted to get talented(有才华的) people to work for him. When he asked a scholar (有 学问的人) named Guo Wei for advice, Guo told him the story of buying horse bones
with 500 pieces of gold.
There was once a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horse could run 1, 000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find these horses and buy
them for him. After three years, nobody found him
such a horse.
One day, someone new volunteered to help.
Within three months, he heard about a qianlima. He
rushed to find it, but the horse had already died. Still,
he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of
gold.
The king was very angry. “What I want is a
living horse, not the bones of a dead horse! ”
The man answered calmly, “ Imagine(想象) this.
You are willing to pay a high price for a dead horse,
let alone a living one. This shows you truly wish to
buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon. ”
Indeed(确实), within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king. Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “ If I am
valued(重视), more talent will be willing to serve (为 … …效力) the state, ” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a respected teacher. Soon, more talented people came to help the king and made the state strong.

Whenever people invite me to their houses for the first time, I ,ll take a close look at their bookshelves.What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests.The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.
My own shelves are a kind of road map through my life.First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then
moves on to teenage things I read in school---Nineteen Eighty-Four,The
Handmaid,sTale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full-time
education(教育) and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my
professional(职业的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present.
If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time.
. It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests.
And a big part of that story is how wearrange(排列) our books, and get on with them. It ,s such a personal thing, different from each other. Some want to be with their
books in every room, others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.
It ,s often said that what we read says something about who we are.The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well-organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our
book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned. 61.What will the writer do if people invite him to their houses

7
A. we ,d better not put our books on the floor
B. the way we arrange our books shows our tastes

A. a book lover B. a storyteller C. a shelf collector D. a fashion
designer
D
I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a strong wish for super powers( 超能 力 ).As a boy, I could clearly see some of my teachers had such powers.
There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically(魔法般) take us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up. This was our secret and fun time because people thought fifth students were too old to have stories read out to them. It was even surprising that my teacher could see the hidden. I was one of those who had no insight(洞察力), but my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes showed that she could see me through. She had another super power and even after forty years, I could still remember her lessons about the great masters of art and geography. She did this though her major( 专 业 ) was not art or geography. Her lessons went beyond(超出) the textbook. I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with super powers that made children feel safe and interested.
I know being a teacher isn ,t the easiest or the most financially rewarding(经济回报) of jobs. And there are job risks(风险) － your knees(膝盖) can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school steps, and your voice can suffer(受苦) from too much talking. Even so, there are still many people choosing this job. To them, teaching is not just a job, but also a science, an art and it needs lots of effort(努力).
All my life, for thirty years now, I go to work early each day happily. Sometimes, I meet my former students. Their love for me and sweet memories(回 忆 ) of our time together are my rewards(回报). When I meet others who want superpowers, like a new teacher trying to practice her skills with a brave face, or the one in a village school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his students, I feel proud(骄傲的) to be in the same group.
66.The writer made a decision to be a teacher because .
A.teachers have super powers
B.he wanted to make much money
C.he had a deep admiration(羡慕) for teachers with super powers
D.his English teacher wished him to be a teacher
67.We can know from Para.2 that the stories .
A. were told in a magic way B. were written by the teacher
C. included some students , secrets D. left the students with happy memories 68.Which of the following can best describe(描述) the English teacher
A. Clever and strict(严格的). B. Professional(专业的) and humorous.
C. Hard-working and magical. D. Knowing a lot and sharp(敏锐的)-eyed. 69.What can we know about the writer as a teacher
8
A.He suffered a lot in his knees and voice.
B.He traveled 70 miles each day to work.
C.He thought teaching was more than giving knowledge(知识).
D.He had ideas of how to be a good teacher at a young age.
70.What would be the best title for the passage
A. To Be a Teacher B. To Honor(致敬) a Teacher C. To Challenge(挑战) a Job D. To Get Rewards

Wintertime is coming. According to the Chinese
lunar calendar, November, December, January
and February are winter months. They include six
solar terms ( 节 气 ): lidong (beginning of winter),
xiaoxue (light snow), daxue (heavy snow),
dongzhi (winter solstice), xiaohan (lesser cold)
and dahan (greater cold).
Winter begins at lidong (Nov 7-8), after which

weather. On this day, after a year of hard work,
people are happy to take a break and spend
some time with family. Chinese in the north
celebrate lidong as the “Small Spring Festival ”.

soup.
Xiaoxue (Nov 22-23) and daxue (Dec 6-8) come after lidong. During xiaoxue, northern China can expect(盼望) snow and temperatures slowly fall below 0 C. Daxue means even more snow and bigger temperature drops.
When dongzhi (Dec 21-23) comes, it brings the shortest days of the year and the longest nights. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather . Ancient(古代的) Chinese would often start counting “ nine cold periods ” (数九寒天) starting from dongzhi. Every cold period has nine days. They believed that after 81 cold days, spring would arrive.Xiaohan (Jan 4-6) usually brings the lowest temperatures of the year. There may be strong winds.
Finally, during dahan (Jan 19-21), the weather fills the fields with snow. All Chinese are ready to welcome the Chinese New Year after dahan. Spring Festival, China ,s most important festival, falls at this time. After that, a new round of solar terms will start.
