My grandmother Myra is very dedicated woman. Once she sets her mind on something, then there's no stopping her. In this case, that's a good thing because to do what she did requires extreme dedication.
She was born in Montreal, Canada. Her mother died of cancer in her forties and her father wasn't very supportive of her and her younger sister. Because of this, my grandmother became extremely close with her sister Rhea.
Early in her life, my grandmother was a little fat and she was picked on for it. Because she missed her mother so much, she turned to food for false love. Throughout the years she became more overweight. Like most people, my grandmother was not happy with her weight, but she never really did anything about it either.

After a little while she completely refused to eat all fatty foods and sweets.
In the end she was very satisfied. She dropped over two hundred pounds and didn't need her

Once upon a time, there was a seed and because he was only a seed, nobody cared to notice him. Thus, feeling kind of inferior, the seed gave no importance to his existence. Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the hot sun. He wanted to know why. But instead of any answer, he was provided with rain besides sunlight, sometimes small and sometimes heavy.
Time flew and years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side. \"Thank God for this. I really need some rest,\" he heard the traveler say.
\"What are you talking about?\" the seed soon asked. He thought the man was making fun of him. Sure, he had seen many people sitting by his side but no one ever spoke to him like that.
\"Who's this?\" the man was surprised. 'It's me. The seed.\"
\"The seed?\" the man looked at the big tree. \"Are you kidding me? you're no seed. You're a big tree?
\"Really?\"
\"Yes! Why do you think people come here? To feel your shade!\"

Opened on October, 27, 1907 and completed in 1908, Union Station (联盟火车站) is considered to be one of the finest examples of the Beaux-Arts (古典装饰的) style of architecture. Architect Daniel Buraham designed the building.
At the time it was built, Union Station covered more ground than any other buildings in the United States and was the largest train station in the world. In many ways, Union Station was a city within a city. At various times it employed a staff of over 5,000 people and provided hotel, ice house, first-class restaurant and police station.
As train travel was the means of transportation for even US Presidents in the early 1900s, a Presidential Suite (总统套间) was added to Union Station. In 1909, President Taft was the first President to use the room and over the years many famous people were officially welcomed there. The last President to use the Presidential Suite was President Eisenhower.
For half a century and through two world wars, Union Station served Washington and the US as a major center of transportation and the place for many historic events. On April 14, 1945, a train backed into Union Station carrying the casket (棺材) of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. However, the air travel led to a decline in railroad passengers, and Union Station began to fall into disuse. In 1968, the decision was made to change it into the \"National Visitor Center\". The project opened in July 4, 1976 but failed to draw enough crowds to sustain〔=keep up〕 its operation, and was closed in 1978.
While Congress debated the future of Union Station, rain damage caused parts of the roof to fall down. Following three years of repair at a cost of $160 million, Union Station reopened on September 29, 1988.
Today, Union Station continues to make history as the most visited place with over 29 million visitors a year. World-class exhibitions and international cultural events are hosted there for the public to enjoy. Private special events are celebrated in the grand halls. Even today, US Presidents still visit Union Station.
68. What is the passage mainly about? A. Introduction to Union Station. B. Architecture in the US. C. Train stations in the US. D. Transportation in the US.
69. Place the following events in the correct order.
- 7 - / 12
word a. Union Station reopened.
b. President Taft used the Presidential Suite.
c. The decision was made to change Union Station into the \"National Visitor Center\". d. The construction of Union Station was completed. A. cdba B. dacb C. dbca D. acbd
70. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 implies that _______. A. Union Station was a symbol of the US B. Union Station was of no use
C. the government was unwilling to waste money on Union Station D. Union Station was not rebuilt immediately
71. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Union Station is still the largest train station in the world. B. Union Station made great contributions to the United States. C. The repair work of Union Station lasted several years. D. Union Station is popular in the US nowadays.

\"If you're busy preparing for your job interview now, you could learn a lot by watching this show,\" says Joe Turner.
Mr. Turner says American Idol (美国偶像) has many lessons to teach an employee about making an impression in a job interview, especially selling your strengths and skills.
To win on American Idol, \"you don't have to be the best singer, just the most memorable singer,\" he said. \"Same for the job interview — you don't have to be the best employee with the top skills, but you do have to be the most memorable employee worth being hired.\"
The No.1 thing in an interview and a job search is knowing your audience. For American Idol competitors, the judges and voting (投票的) public are the audience; for job hunters, it's the hiring manager.
Just as talented American Idol competitors lack confidence when singing the wrong song, job hunters can fail to be chosen when they fail to present their skills according to the employer's needs. \"Difference\" is how Mr. Turner describes the way American Idol competitors stand out among singers who may be equally good.
In the real world, the right skills, education and experience still make one's ability different or memorable. But it's important for the job hunter to present \"something special\" that he or she has to offer.
A recent survey suggests that managers often sense whether they'll hire someone within minutes after the first handshake. Just as an Idol competitor prepares for performances, a job hunter should prepare carefully to make the first good impression.
Job hunters also can learn from past American Idol winners who proved an ability to recover from setbacks. If they can take feedback (反响), make improvements and make sure they're better prepared the next go-round, that will pay off eventually. 72. The purpose of the passage is _________.
A. to persuade readers to take part in American Idol B. to praise the winners of American Idol C. to advertise for American Idol
D. to tell job hunters what they can learn from American Idol
- 8 - / 12
____ word
73. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. if a job hunter fails to be chosen for one job, he or she will never succeed
B. job hunters should distinguish themselves from other applicants when interviewing C. the skills, education and experience are the keys to your success D. an American Idol competitor is never the same as a job hunter
74. The underlined word \"setbacks\" in the last paragraph means __________. A. failures B. successes C. performances D. advantages
75. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ? A. The reason that you are planning to change your job. B. The best singer may not win on American Idol.
C. An employer may have the opinion on a job hunter within minutes. D. How an American Idol competitor can stand out among singers.

Possible version How to Protect Your eyesight
As we can see from the picture, most of the students have to wear thick glasses because they are near-sighted.
Some students spend too muchtime watching TV or playing computer games. Sometimes there are so many exercises to do that they have to keep writing for long hours. As a result, the poor eyesight is becoming a serious problem.
Here are some suggestions on how to protect our eyesight.
First of all, don’t keep reading or writing for too long. Take a break from time to time while doing your homework. Secondly, remember not to read in faint light, which will do harm to your eyes. Thirdly, doing eye exercises every day is a good way to relax your eyes. Finally, keep in mind that having a good sleep is helpful if you want to keep good eyesight.
