It is hard to say I was a runner years ago. The longest I had ever run was 5 km. What’s more, I didn’t like running. No matter how hard I tried, every so often I would fasten my old shoes, walk out of the house with heavy steps, get less than a mile in and wonder why I was bothering, especially when there are many more satisfying ways of exercising.
Before last summer, I had never taken part in any kind of race at all. But at the end of July, I completed a triathlon(三项全能)after two weeks’ training. At the end of it came the run—which ended up more like a walk. Then I realized something about it attracted me. The extremely painful fun of doing something I hated and was unprepared for turned out to be an excitement. The difficulty felt like something to test my abilities.
When an invitation of the Berlin Marathon dropped onto my desk a few weeks after the triathlon, it felt like a change of fate. After the triathlon, I didn’t say I should start running at once. Was it because I hate running In fact, in course of running I enjoyed the joy of exceeding my limits. I felt necessary to find out again where those limits might lie. So I said yes.
Training for a marathon often takes at least 20 weeks or more. The training plan becomes something to stop me worrying when the race seems too frightening. This worry feels impossible to avoid, but there is something equally sure about the training plan: if I follow it, then I have done everything I can; if I do everything I can, then I won’t regret what comes at the end.
24．What aspect of the triathlon drew the writer
A．The special feeling of facing a challenge.
B．The fun of walking to the finish line.
C．The excitement of winning a race.
D．The two-week painful training.
25．Why did the writer accept the invitation of the Berlin Marathon
A．He was eager to change his destiny.
B．He wasn’t supposed to stop running.
C．He wanted to realize his full potential.
D．He was keen on taking part in another triathlon.
26．Which of the following words can best describe the writer
A．Patient and pessimistic. B．Courageous and determined.
C．Helpful and persistent. D．Energetic and changeable.
27．What can be learned from the text
A．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
B．Challenge ourselves to live without regrets.
C．Life is full of challenges that can’t be avoided.
D．Exercise is to the body what reading is to the mind.

What Should You Clean to Get Your Deposit Back
●Kitchen
You should completely clean all kitchen equipment, including the oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher, as well as kettle.
●Living Room
Remove dust from all surfaces and furniture, including armchairs and sofas. Shelves, cabinets, tables, and chairs also need to be wiped down.
●Bathroom
Housekeepers say that, when it comes to cleaning, the most important areas to focus on are the kitchen and bathrooms.
Remove any stains(污渍), including in the sink, bath, and toilet, and make sure drains and plug holes are free of hair and water can flow easily.
●Bedrooms
You should start by emptying all wardrobes and drawers, making sure they’re clear of debris, and then wipe them down.

According to a recent study, most people hold the strong belief that much imagination has gone away. 36 Everyone has imagination, but most of us forget how to make use of it once we become older and older. Creativity isn’t always concerned with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time typically think of creative ways to solve problems. 37
Make connections. It involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find connections between them. 38 Then find an image, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas associated with candles and then connect the ideas with the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend a unique gift. You could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
Set no limits. Imagine that normal limitations do not exist. You have as much imagination as you want. 39 If your aim is to learn to ski, for instance, you can now practice skiing every day. Now apply this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
40 Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good writers always use this technique. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their positions. As an old saying goes, the best fishermen think like fish!
A．Be someone else.
B．In fact, they are mistaken.
C．Do something different from others.
D．This may affect your work and your life.
E．Here are some ways to fire your imagination.
F．Think about the problem to solve or the job to do.
G．Consider your goal and the new possibilities carefully.

Boys like to be considered to be brave, but what kind of things can be considered to be brave It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They and together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some people fighting in the street comer. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused. “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go.” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Henry had to go ho alone and didn’t think about it anymore. But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter.

How is it going I am Li Hua, Chairman of Student Union. I am writing to express my sincere invitation.
Here is some good news. We are going to pay a visit to the city museum next week. We are going to set off at 9:00 a.m. on July 5 by bus and return at 5:00 p.m. on foot. At the event, we will admire the exhibition works. What’s more, we will take pictures and learn a lot about the history and culture of our city. I believe that the event will enrich our school life and broaden our horizon.
It will be our great honour to have you here. I am sure that you will have a good memory. If you have any questions, please contact me any time.
I am looking forward to your early reply. With all my best wishes!
67．Paragraph 1:
A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny. That afternoon after school, Ronny was bathing with some of his new friends in the river happily. Suddenly, he was stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out. He struggled hard but he was still trapped. He screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could. They were so scared and did not even try to help him.
Paragraph 2:
At that moment, Henry happened to pass by. He heard the screams and ran to the river as soon as possible. Seeing Ronny was almost drowned, Henry took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation. He reached Ronny just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Ronny to the shore in time. Henry was happy to help his friend, though he was extremely tired.
