  Last night when Steven and I was having a walk in the street, we suddenly heard a painful cry for help under a tree nearby. We quickly ran to the tree and found a boy laying on the ground with a stick in his leg. He had fallen of the tree. Steven suggested we pulled the stick out at once, but I disagreed, because I had learned little about first aid at school. The stick in the leg would help controlling the bleeding. As there was no telephone,we managed to find a taxi. We took the boy to the hospital. The doctors examined the boy quick and we got to know where the boy lived. So we telephoned his parents and left after he came to the hospital. We did a good deed.

Dear editor,
My English teacher has been collecting opinions on the reform which the English test will be removed from China’s college Entrance examination by 2020 and tests will be holding several times a year. And the opinions are different.
Some students are for it. They think this reform can reduce our study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exams system. What’s more, they can spend many time on the subjects that they are interested in.
However, some students argue a reform wouldn’t reduce the students’ burden of learning English, because of schools may reduce English classes and not being strict with English teachers. If so, their parents may ask them to attend the training class outside the school. Not only they spend more money and also it may become a burden.  
Yours,
Chen Hao

三、 阅读理解
21. My husband David was waiting at the door when our daughter Laura and I pulled in the driveway. It wasn’t like him to be home so early. The disbelief on his face told me that something was up.
"Do you still have a job?"
"No. Redundant," he answered, looking away from me.
"OK. We’ll figure it out," I replied calmly.
I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out. I immediately started to think of how we’d cut costs and who we should start to get in touch with. That night, after David had fallen asleep, I cried myself to sleep, and frequently sobbed in the shower in the days that followed.
I knew the loss of David’s income would have great effect on us. He had worked for the same insurance company for twenty-one years and was our main income. I work at home caring for Laura, and my freelance(自由职业者的)income is uncertain. We have debts, and job hunting takes time.
Still, I was more concerned about my husband’s emotional state than our financial situation. David’s sense of identity was tied to his job. He called his parents to tell them about losing his job, but didn’t say a word to anyone else for weeks. He told me that he felt like "a failure".
It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment. One night a couple of weeks after he lost his job, David woke me just before midnight, sweating, pacing the bedroom floor and saying he felt funny. We spent the night in the emergency room waiting to see if he had a heart attack. Thankfully, it was just a serious anxiety attack. It was then that I knew I needed to do more to understand what my husband was going through. Here is what I learned from my own experience—and from talking to experts—on how to support your spouse through a job loss.
32.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "Redundant" in Paragraph 3?
A. A piece of cake.     B. Out of question.    C. My treat.      D. Out of employment.
33．What did the writer do about her husband’s situation at first?
A. She always remained calm and gave him advice.
B. She appeared calm when in fact she was worried.
    C. She began to write about her husband’s situation to the newspapers.
D. She went to consult some doctors.
34．What can we know about David?
A. He was fired by the company he had worked for twenty-one years.
B. He never thought himself "a failure" even when jobless.
C. He was aware of the family’s financial situation.
D. Upon leaving the job, he suffered a heart attack and had to consult the doctor.
35．What will be talked about in the next part of the passage?
A. What the writer did to help get some income.
B. How David suffered from the heart attack and the treatment.
C. How the writer supported David to get through the jobless period.
D. Why the insurance company fired David.
