I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. The job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. I have seen wars, poverty and death, but I have also seen courage（勇气）, hope and happiness.
In India, I saw many homeless children. Some were as young as four year old. They lived in the streets begging（乞讨）or stealing. But then q wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them and taught them. She gave them hope.
Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake. I found an old lady whose house was broke down. Her son was missing and people said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.
Here in China, I was surprised when I met a young boy who had had twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.
In life, we need models that we can learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.

III．任务型阅读。（10分）
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk to the country roads in their free time.
In fact. Happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you: when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you feel unhappy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge（挑战）yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
根据短文内容回答下列各题。（6分）
1. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.
2. When you fall down in a PE lesson, both your teacher and your classmates will ____.
3. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
________________________________.
根据短文判断正（T）误（F）。（4分）
4. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come toward you.
5. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
6. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
7. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
IV．书面表达。（15分）

To get ready for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, a lot of things have been done. Now there are several new sports centers and the roads in Beijing are wider. Wherever you go, you can see flowers, trees and green grass. We are trying to make the air cleaner and the city more beautiful.
I hope you can come and see it yourself one day. I’m sure you will like this city, too.
Best wishes!
