on street corners,you’ll find statues,plaques(匾牌),and simple blocks of marble there.They honor the people who helped shape the US.And on May 20,Lonely Planet,one of the world’s largest travel guides,named Washington D.C.the No 1 city in its list of“Best in Travel 2020”.The year 2020“is a fantastic year to visit Washington D.C.”,Tom Hall,editorial director of Lonely Planet,said“The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination(刺杀)makes next year big for D.C.The famous top hat of American’s 16th president and the gun that fired the deadly shot will be on display.Add that to its incredible eats,performing arts scene and museums.The nation’s capital is looking better than ever.There are a lot of free museums in the city.When British scientist James Smithson died in 1829,he left a will giving his money to the United States to open a museum“at Washington,under the name of the Smithsonian Institution”.It has turned out to be a wonderful gift,and the Institution now covers 19 museums.And of course,no Washington tour is complete without seeing the White House,the Capitol,and the Supreme Court,which are home to the three pillars（核心）of the US government.But there is more to explore in the center of US power.It is a city you can walk across,with wide-open avenues,old neighborhoods,and river views.And as USA Today notes,diversity is another reason to“fall in love with the city”.“There is a lot of diversity in D.C.,seen in its people,its neighborhoods and its landmarks.From Chinatown to Little Ethiopia,visiting the nation’s capital is like seeing the world in one trip,”said the newspaper.1.One of the reasons why Washington D.C.is worth a visit in 2020 is that__________?A.food and performing arts there are much better than anywhere else in the world B.the 16th president of America will be assassinated in the year 2015 C.seeing the museums will make your tour in Washing D.C.complete[D.the diversity of the city offers you an opportunity to see more in one trip 2.Which of the following details is right according to the article?A.The 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination makes the tour more worthwhile.B.The reason why Washington D.C.is worth a visit is that it is the capital of the country.C.Lonely Planet decides to make Washington D.C.a most visited place in 2015.D.All the museums in Washington D.C.were named after the Smithsonian Institution.3.What is USA Today,according to the last paragraph?A.a well-known company B.a famous newspaper C.an advanced institution D.a newly-designed web-site B I was in the seventh grade,and we had moved to New Jersey in November.By then,everyone already had had their own friends,and no one wanted to talk to a new girl.To make things worse,they put me in“Section L”.I found out later that everyone called Section L“Loserville”.It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids.When I found out,I wanted to scream.I had always been a good student and had amazing friends,and now everyone thought I was a loser!I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night,especially my best friend,Ana.At first my friends wanted to hear all about it.But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was.One night when I was texting with Ana,I complained about another friend who had just done that.Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me.She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey,too.She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time,and I had to try to make things better.The next day,I thought a lot about what Ana had said.She was right!I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that,but it didn’t.I was still stuck in“Loserville”,and some people were still mean to me,even though I tried to just stay out of their way.But what did change was me–I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends.I signed up to make sets for the school play.I met a lot of new people there,and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!I still miss Illinois sometimes,but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore.Even though I couldn’t change my situation,I could change my attitude–and that made all the difference.4.“Loserville”is a section for________.A.failures B.good students C.class secrets D.newcomers 5.The writer complained all the time in the new environment because________.A.Ana didn’t text back to her B.she was unfairly treated C.her friends hurt her feelings D.she was a good student 6.What made a difference in changing the situation?A.She went back to Illinois.B.She ended friendship with Ana.C.She fought back with her classmates.D.She began to make friends with others.7.The best title for the passage can be________.A.Lasting Friendship B.An Incident at School C.Unhappiness in“Loserville”D.Say Goodbye to“Loserville”C An old English saying goes,“Laughter is the best medicine.”One person who certainly would have agreed with this is Norman Cousins.Norman Cousins was the editor of a magazine called“Saturday Review”for almost forty years.He also wrote and spoke about world peace and anti-nuclear(反核的)and anti-war issues(问题).And he traveled to many different countries to share his ideas.In the 1960s,after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Europe,Mr.Cousins got sick.He discovered he had a rare disease,known as ankylosing spondylitis(强直性脊柱炎),which caused the joint between his bones to stiff(僵硬的).
In less than a week after he got sick,he could not stand.Every move that he made was painful.He was not able to sleep at night.The doctors told Mr.Cousins that they did not know how to cure his illness and he might never get it over.Mr.Cousins,however,refused to stop hope.Mr.Cousins thought that illness could be caused by unhappy thoughts.He did not want to take medicine to cure himself.Instead,he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.He began to experiment on himself while still in that hospital by watching comedy(喜剧)shows on TV.Mr.Quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night.
Deciding that the doctors could not help him,Mr.Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter.For eight days,Mr.Cousins rested in the hotel room watching comedy show on TV,reading amusing books,and sleeping whenever he felt tired.Within three weeks,he felt well enough to take a holiday to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.After a few months,Mr.Cousins was able to carry on his work.He had laughed himself back to good health.
8.What is the main topic of the passage?A A funny story.B.An interesting cure.
C.An amazing life D.Why people laugh.9.What did the doctors think about Mr.Cousins’disease?A.It could be cured if he slept more.
B.It might not be cured.
C.It could be cured by taking medicine.
D.It would take a week to get over it.10.What did Mr.Cousins think cured him?A.Laughter.B.Running on the beach.
C.Medicine.D.Taking a holiday.
