Hope Matters

    Reyes Guana, 42, grew up in a poor Mexican family. He has seven brothers and sisters. His parents always had two jobs to make ends meet.

    As a boy, Guana had a good relationship with the school cleaner. He called her "Nike" because she wore Nike shoes. The boy liked how Nike made everything clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. "Well, it's good if you want to be a cleaner," Nike told little Guana. "But make sure you go to college."

    Guana also looked up to the principal (校长) of his school. The school leader told the boy that his job was to help students and teachers. "Wow, when I grow up, I want to do what you're doing," Guana told him. "Well, if you stick to your dream, you will," the principal replied.

    And Guana really got there. But it was quite a long journey for him. Twenty-three years ago, he followed in Nike's footsteps and was cleaning schools. He worked at three schools to pay for his college education. He held that job for four years and then worked his way up to being a school safety monitor. After that, he worked as a teacher for a few years.

    Now, as a principal, Guana never forgets where he came from. He helps students from poor families and shows respect (尊重) for every school staff member. He always invites everyone to school parties, including those who clean the floors and those who drive the school buses.

Olga's school was having a big concert tonight. Olga played second flute (长笛), so if the first flute player got sick, Olga could play his or her part.

Today Olga went to school early for more practice. Her music teacher Mr. Perez was waiting for her. He told her that Alonso was ill and stayed in hospital. It meant that Olga would play Alonso's part tonight.

After hearing the news, Olga was very nervous. Alonso was one of the best flute players in the school. Olga thought that she couldn't play well. Mr. Perez smiled, "You practise it every day. Alonso plays well, and so do you. Please try, Olga."

Olga closed her eyes and began to play, but this morning she still felt nervous. The high notes(音符) were hard to reach and the fast notes were difficult to play. The quiet part seemed too loud. When Olga finished, her eyes were filled with tears.

Without saying anything, Mr. Perez played a piece of flute music on his computer. "That's beautiful. I wish I played like that!" Olga said. "Olga, I recorded the music just now. That was you playing!" Mr. Perez said.

"Do my play really sound like that?" Olga was shocked and doubted(怀疑) whether she could play so well. "Sure, that's you!" Mr. Perez told her. "So, don't worry. You work hard and play very well. Never forget to have fun and enjoy the music. You should be confident in yourself. You're a great musician!"

Reading is very important. World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It encourages people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor(尊敬) great writers. 

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. On that day, millions of school children can buy books at a much lower price than usual in any bookstore in England. World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Wen Jiabao, the former Premier(前总理) of China, is a bookworm who does lots of reading every day. He called on people to do more reading. " Books cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading, " he said. 

Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What's more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English. 

Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of reading materials can help us to know more about the outside world. So it is necessary for us to spend time reading every day. 

通读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后在各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出一个最佳选项。

Eliud Kipchoge is an marathon (马拉松) runner from Kenya. He's 1 eleven gold medals (奖牌) so far and many people think he's the most 2 marathon runner in the world. He 3 the world record for the fastest marathon. No one has ever run a marathon 4 than Eliud.

But for Eliud that is not 5 because , in 2017, he tried to become the first human to run a marathon in less than two hours. It took two years to 6 for the run, and during this time, Eliud worked with a team of 7 . They used technology to 8 everything about his running: his training schedule(日程), his breathing, his diet, his running shoes and his 9 . After two years of planning and 10 , the big day arrived and Eliud 11 the distance of 26.2 miles on a track in Milan, Italy. His time was good for most of the race and he finished it in a 12 time of 2hours, 25 seconds; but it wasn't fast enough. Eliud 13 the final part of the run: "I felt a little bit tired in my legs and I tried to 14 , but it was too late."

So, if Eliud can't run a marathon in under 2hours, is it possible for any human? Maybe in the future, as technology gets better, someone might 15 a time of 1 hours59 minutes and 59 seconds.
