    Located on the Persian Gulf (波斯湾) coast of the United Arab in west Asia, Dubai is an international city. It is said to be the land of luxury (奢侈) and an open society. Dubai is a city of big business, expensive hotels, skyscrapers (摩天楼), and shopping malls. In the early 20th century, Dubai was a successful trading port. People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business. But it was still a small city, and most people lived as fishermen and businessmen.

    Then in 1966, oil was discovered. This brought a lot of money into the area, and soon Dubai began to change.

    Today Dubai is one of the world's most important business centers. In fact, each year the city gets its money mainly from business, not oil. Recently Dubai has attracted more and more visitors from abroad. They come to relax on its beaches, and every year, millions visit just to go shopping!

Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only cared about winning every race and becoming more successful.

One day,the boy took part in a running race in his village. He won the 200, 100 and 50-meter races without any problem. He was proud of himself and received great applause (掌声). But his grandfather stepped in and challenged him to a race with two unexpected competitors, an old man and a blind girl. The boy thought it was unbelievable but accepted. In the race, the boy finished first, while the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. With joy, he waved his hands at the crowd. But they kept silent.

"Why are people not cheering for me like before?" he asked his grandfather.

"Start the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finish line at the same time," the grandfather replied.

The boy was surprised but agreed to the race. During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked slowly with them to the finish line. The crowd gave them a standing applause.

The boy asked his grandfather, "For whom are the people cheering? Is it for me, or them?" The grandfather smiled and said. "The crowd did not cheer for any one of you. They cheered for how you all ran the race together. Facing the race of life, what matters is not just winning, but how you run the race."

 阅读短文,根据语篇内容,在方框内的缩写文章中,填入与短文意思最符合的单词,每空一词。

Do you ever wish you had more time? Everyone gets 24 hours in a day. But here are some ways to help you use those hours more efficiently (有效率地).

Set priorities (优先级

Setting priorities is the best way to manage your time exactly. Consider whether your tasks are important or not and find out which one should be done right away. 

Make a timetable

Decide what you're going to do at a certain time each day. A well-organized timetable can not only help you improve your working speed but also make you feel less stressed. 

Choose a suitable time

Think about the time when you have the most energy during the day. Are you more energetic in the morning or afternoon? Do hard work when you feel good and leave simple one when you are tired. 

Make lists

Write down when to do and what to do. I keep two to-do lists: one for aims of today and the other for the projects I'm working on. The lists remind me that I won't forget anything. They also help me pay more attention to the shorter list. 

Give up something

Managing time sometimes means giving up doing something you like. When you're ready to start a new task, think carefully. Is it really worth spending your time? Could someone else do it instead?

As a saying goes, "Work smarter, not harder." If you want to make full use of your time, make a plan and stick to it. 

Everyone has the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} time each day, but how can we use it wisely? Here are some {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to use those hours better. Find out which task is the most important and make time for it. Decide what you are going to do at a certain time each day. Think about the time when you are the most {#blank#}3{#/blank#} during the day. Making two to-do lists is also useful. One is for today's tasks, the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is for larger projects you are working on. To manage time sometimes means you need to give up doing something you {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. All in all, making a plan and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to it can make you use time better.

When are you supposed to do the hard work according to the passage?{#blank#}8{#/blank#}

 E. Answer the questions.

Pictures are falling off the walls. Lights are waving. Bed is shaking. Everything is moving. What's going on? It's an earthquake. 

Earthquakes are horrible disasters(灾难)and some of them are destructive, The top layer of the earth is made up of huge pieces of rock. They move past each other all the time along fault lines(裂纹线). But sometimes two pieces get stuck together. When they finally move away from each other, they move suddenly. And this makes the land above them shake. This is the most common cause of earthquakes. 

During a small earthquake, you will feel a little shaking. But during a strong one, you will be thrown about. A strong earthquake is very horrible. Cracks will appear on the ground and windows and doors will break. Buildings will even fall down. So watch out! I f an earthquake happens at sea, it can make big waves called "tsunamis" (海啸). When these waves reach land, they can destroy villages. 

Earthquakes are measured on a scale of 0-9. It is called the Richter scale. A size 9 earthquake is the strongest and most dangerous. Since 1900, more than two million people have died in earthquakes. In 1976, a size 7. 8 earthquake hit Tangshan, China. It killed more than 240, 000 people!

Many earthquakes happened in China, so it is important for us to know what to do when an earthquake hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake. 

Indoors

※Hide under a desk or bed. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you. 

※Do not get into a lift during an earthquake! When an earthquake has ended, stay under the desk until it is really safe to get up. 

※Open a window and get out of the building quickly if the gas line in your house is broken. 

Outdoors

※Move away from buildings and street lights. 

※Do not run outside if you are in a shop and far from the door. 

※Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground. 

 阅读下面短文,从各题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专家). If sports aren't going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day? Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports. 

②First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good condition. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬) which give you more energy and make you feel happier. 

③Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches, teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed. 

④Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important. 

⑤Maybe you're not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person.
