Every March, the country celebrates the accomplishments of women in American history. Even though these accomplishments go back a long way, most schools didn’t start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. Today, most colleges offer classes in women’s history and most schools teach kids about the many contributions women have made to our country.
On March 19, 1911，a German woman named Clara Zetkin organized the very first International Women’s Day. Inspired by American working women, the annual event took on the causes of peace and women’s rights. In the 1960s, the women's movement caused women to wonder why they weren’t included in the history books.
By the 1970s, more female historians began to look back at the contributions of women in history. In 1978，a California school district started Women’s History Week to promote the teaching of women’s history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women's Day. It was so popular that, in 1981, Congress passed a law making the week a celebration for the entire country. The concept of studying women's history continued to grow in popularity. In 1987, a group of women asked Congress to amplify the celebration. That same year, Congress declared the entire month of March National Women's History Months
Today, schools and communities across the country celebrate the month with special lessons and activities designed to teach the ways women have helped shape the U.S. The women who have worked hard to make women’s History Month a reality would like to see women’s history all year, not just every March. In 1996, the National Women’s History Museum was founded. It’s a non-profit organization devoted to preserving and celebrating the various contributions of women in history. The organization is working with Congress to open a permanent museum site in Washington, D. C.
1.What does the first paragraph imply?
A. Women's achievements used to be ignored in America.
B. More women pioneers are needed in America.

D. Few American schools pay attention to women s contributions.
2.According to the text, International Women’s Day ________.
A. is held every second year
B. has a history of over a century
C. was started by an American
D. was a product of women's movement
3.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “amplify” in Paragraph 3?
A. organize B. support
C. expand D. protect
4.What can we know about the National Women’s History Museum from the text?
A. It was set up less than two decades ago.
B. It focuses on women’s historic contributions.
C. It is an organization aimed at making profits.
D. It has a permanent site in Washington, D. C.

Today as I was leaving the church for home, I hear an old man saying he was cold. I was dressing in an expensive scarf. I had been a precious gift to me, so I gave it to him. In my opinion, the happiness what I receive as I see someone else happy in their hearts means many than the scarf itself.
He offered to accompanying me home and we talked all of the way to my house. For me, a material thing doesn't have a meaning until I give them to someone. Make it good one, a truly meaning of love for others.

“How are things back at the office?” one of the gentlemen in my bicycle tour group asked me as we were nearing the end of another lengthy ride through Croatia’s scenic countryside.
“I assume they are going fine,” I said. “I haven’t had any contact and I don’t plan to.”
“Your phone isn’t on?” he asked, incredulously. “You haven’t checked your email?”
“My phone is off and no, I’m not planning on checking email,” I said.
My wife Heidi and I took my children, Daniel and Rachel, on a two-week trip to Croatia, one of the most beautiful countries in the world. We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids.
Why would I destroy the environment we had traveled thousands of miles to create by bringing my work environment into it? That would be counter-productive to everything I wanted out of this trip. If I worked during this experience, I would be taking time away from my family and sending them the message that work takes priority over them.
In addition to sharing this incredible experience, I wanted to take us all out of the activity-driven world we live in. If I had my cell phone on and was constantly searching out a wireless connection to keep up with office, I would just bring that hyper-connected environment into the peaceful, meaningful world I was trying to create.
In addition to creating life-long memories with my family, another wonderful thing happened as a result of this bike trip. As we were returning home, I was flooded with new ideas. I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I want to incorporate into my business.
Taking time off restored and rejuvenated me and allowed my creative spirit to really come to the surface. How can you accomplish that goal if you simply move the source of that stress to a different location?
1.From the conversation at the beginning of the text, we can infer that .
A. the author had no access to the Internet during the tour
B. the gentleman was quite concerned about the author’s work
C. the author’s phone was off because he didn’t want to be disturbed
D. the speakers both experienced an unpleasant bicycle tour in Croatia
2.One of the purposes of the author’s Croatia’s bicycle tour is .
A. to experience a primitive life without phone calls
B. to spend some time creating closer ties with his family
C. to tell his family that his work is more important for him
D. to escape from his boring work environment in the office
3.The underlined word “rejuvenate” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A. drive one mad B. make one more energetic
C. get one exhausted D. cause one to lost temper
4.Which of the following may the author agree?
A. Playing delights us more than working.
B. Working is the foundation of happiness.
C. Cellphones and emails are helpful when we take a trip.
D. When working, work hard; when playing, play crazily.

COME AND EAT HERE
Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. "Nothing could be better," he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. "Hello, Lao Li," he called. "Your usual?" But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.
Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.
Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?
Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.
Only slimming foods served here.
Make yourself thin again!
Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. "Welcome," she said. "My name is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day." Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and 
hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!
At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:
Want to feel fit and energetic?
Come and eat here! Discounts today!
Our food gives you energy all day!
The competition between the two restaurants was on!
1.Something terrible must have happened to Wang Peng’ restaurant because ________.

B. Wang Peng could allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people.
C. Wang Peng could not allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people and got away.
D. Wang Peng could not have Yong Hui telling lies, then getting away with people.

B. tried to get himself to be more learned(博學(xué)的)
C. wanted to study the differences between the food that served in his restaurant and Yong Hui’s
D. just searched for a better menu
5.Why did Wang Peng feel more hopeful as he drove back home after he came out of the library?
A. Because he felt with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back.
B. Because he found Young Hui’s food was not better than his.
C. Because he could cook something delicious attract more customers.
D. Because he found a better menu in the library.
