Part 3 Reading and Writing

I. Reading comprehension.

A. Choose the best answer.

A month ago, I realized I hated window-shopping. There is a pair of $230 shoes I really

wanted. But I could only look at them longingly through the window because I didn’t have the money for them. I decided to get a part-time job in a store to make enough money to buy them. My  mother agreed I could take the job, but warned: “If your grades start to drop because of the job, then maybe you should give up.” I wasn’t too worried about school, because I am a TOP student. I could take it.

But how wrong I was about that! Work made my life tiring. I would walk into school feeling half-dead. I had no energy left in my body at all. After school, it was time for work. I was on my feet for five hours! I was sure that I would be able to balance school and work, but I feel so tired these days.

It is wonderful to make money and spend it on whatever you want. But maybe no pair of $230 shoes is worth losing education over—or your sleep.

64. The writer wasn’t worried about her grades because____________________.

A. she was a TOP student B. her mother helped her study

C. the test was easy D. she didn’t care about them

65. From the passage we know the work she did was____________________.

Although my parents want me to be a teacher, I still want to be a reporter just like her.

D. Answer the questions.

Hiking is a good way to exercise. Most people choose to hike in the countryside, in the forests, or in the mountains. They like to be close to nature and exercise to be healthy at the same time.

Would you like to go on a hike next vacation? Before you start, there are some points you have to know: A hike can take a few hours or weeks. If you are a beginner, you should start with a hike that you can finish in one day. As you get stronger, you can go on overnight hikes. Later you can go on longer hikes, which may last for days or weeks.

For safety reasons, hikes should hike with others. You should have one or more friends with you. However, if you decide to be alone, you’d better let someone know where you are going and when you will return. It is also a good idea to carry a map. It is necessary to take a back-pack while hiking. You can carry food, clothing and other things on your back in a pack. Back-packers can stay many days in places where there is no food to buy.
