Dear Peter,
I am writing to you in the hope that I can get your help concerning the English Reading Festival held in February on my campus. In the activity every student is expected to read at least one English book and write a review on it.
We are what we read. We intend, through this activity, to expose students to great minds and exotic culture. Given that a variety of English books flood into China and we are less informed of these books, I wish that you could recommend some bestsellers in your country.
As a native speaker, you musts have some good suggestions about English reading. I’d appreciate it if you could give some advice.
Looking forward to your early reply!
Yours truly, Li Hua
高一英语上学期期末考试模拟试题
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分60分) 第一节(共15小题, 每小题3分,满分45分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上相应位置将该项涂黑。 A
At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out(溢出) and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day--- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“See what you can do when you keep trying?”

I’m a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you’re in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language. The list below is 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free. Babbel – Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. You need to pay a monthly subscription(定金), but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo: Learn Languages Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It’s all completely free too! It’s incredibly well designed, looks great and will help you learn, remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day. Tandem: Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things, the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs, all by simply communicating with each other. It’s a great way to learn with only $1 a day. Learn English – busuu

Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers. This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame(名声) and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him. 9. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job. B. The Internet is influencing young Britions’ career choice. C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios. D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet. 10. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers? A. Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet. B. There is too much competition in the traditional show business. C. The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business. D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star. 11. What can we infer from the fifth paragraph? A. Only a few vloggers can be successful. B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger. D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
12. What do young people like David do on the Internet? A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit. C. Hold running races. D. Mix jobs with hobbies. D
