Why go to Madrid?
There may be a slight chill (寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃ in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.
A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23  . It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.
Later this summer, the anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴) painter El Greco  will be marked  with  an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.
How to go?
The widest range of flights is offered by EasyJet — from Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister airline Iberia combine forces from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.
Barajas Airport is 12km north­east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Ministerios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city centre is 4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; 5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of 30 covers most of central Madrid.

My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area.  Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水疱) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.
I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.
The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had been to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.
As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. The reporter interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, he interviewed us, and we explained to him what we had learned through this project.
That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.
4．What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?
A．They were excited.  B．They were surprised.
C．They were worried.  D．They were uninterested.
5．What is special about the garden?
A．Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.
B．The grass grew faster than common grass.
C．The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.
D．Underground water was used for the plants.
6．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph?
A．We got blisters on our hands.  B．Our hard work was worthwhile.
C．The garden would be famous.  D．The project would be finished.
7．How did the author feel about the project?
A．Annoyed.  B．Curious.
C．Proud.  D．Regreful.

Heads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions (脑震荡) － serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.
“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk，” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck, Jr., M. D．， in a statement.
The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age­specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤的) brain  injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.
The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation­related activities occur in the U．S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA's new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.
8．Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?
A．To raise safety standards of sports.
B．To protect athletes from concussions.
C．To set rules for health care evaluation.
D．To help players return to the game quickly.
9．What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?
A．Avoid using the head.  B．Leave the field forever.
C．Get treatment in time.  D．Switch to another sport.
10．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．What a concussion is.
B．What causes damage to brain cells.
C．How the CDC works.
D．How a concussion can be prevented.
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Rules for Safer Play  B．Sports Injuries in the U．S.
C．Advice to Athletes  D．New Policies for Doctors
D
Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non­organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and non­organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.
Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems.  Health specialists worry more about bacteria (细菌), such as E. coli and salmonella.  These can get into contact with organic and non­organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research.  However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
12．What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?
A．Price.  B．Safety.
C．Freshness.  D．Variety.
13．What is the doctors' suggestion?
A．Grow your own food.  B．Reduce the use of pesticides.
C．Make sure the food is clean.  D．Buy large companies' products.
14．Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?
A．It tastes better.  B．It is easier to grow.
C．It contains more fat.  D．It is more nutritious.
15．Where does this text probably come from?
A．A recipe book.  B．A chemistry paper.
C．A medical report.  D．A health magazine.

The Hotel Wake ­up Call Gets Personal
Here's a wake­up call: The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the morning. They'll send an actual human being to your room.  Don't worry. They won't come in and give you a good morning kiss.  __16__
Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built­in alarm clocks. __17__ Here are some examples. At Wolcott Hotel, if a wake­up call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. __18__
Hotels have always taken the wake­up call seriously. __19__ If you don't get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you won't have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still want to have an option of a wake­up call. A study of 285 guests at Crowne Plaza found that 53% considered a wake­up call very important.
__20__ In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you'd get was a ring and silence. In the ever­competitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now getting creative with the wake­up call. Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices. And more hotels will go back to the old in­person system of wake­up calls.
A．But they might bring you coffee.
B．If you don't answer, you'll get a wake­up knock.
C．Crowne Plaza, for instance, has a wake­up call guarantee.
D．But the wake­up call became less personal over the years.
E．The hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wake­up calls each day.
F．The human wake­up call is a way to personalize a guest's stay.
G．Some guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off.

Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today, there are times when I remember his face clearly, especially his eyes. As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty. He would have been a stray (流浪的) dog,  until he came to me.
I was seven years old. My dad had just got a new job in Nasik. We had moved into a rented house. It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.
It was a cold dark night. We had our meal and went to sleep. Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door. I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.
There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door. It was wet and trembling.  At first it was difficult to see the little one. It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.
It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat.  Was it sick or injured?
I felt pity for the poor soul.  I went in and came out with an old towel. I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he became dry.  I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow. He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.
The next morning, everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest. “Shall we keep him with us？” I questioned my mom.
Like any other parents would, my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.
Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.
Paragraph 1：
One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.

After the meal, a lucky charm and a red pocket which contains lucky money will be given to every kid and some lucky words are said to each other. Everything will overflow with happiness then.
I sincerely invite you to come to China and spend the Spring Festival with my family.
Yours，

第二节
【文章大意】　时至今日，我依旧记得Spotty。它本是一只流浪狗，在一个寒冷的夜晚，它蜷缩在我家门口，被我发现。心生怜悯的我把它抱进来，并为它做了一个温暖的小窝。第二天，我和姐姐央求爸爸和妈妈收养了Spotty。慢慢地，它成为了我们家庭的一员。
【写作指导】　Paragraph 1的开头语是“一天，Spotty像往常一样散步后归来，但是断了一条腿”，文章接下来应该描述对Spotty伤口的处理，作者的伤心或愤怒等，也可能涉及Spotty虽然受伤了，但是依旧很坚强。
Paragraph 2的开头语是“大约一年后，一天半夜，我们听到Spotty上气不接下气地叫”，再结合Paragraph 1的内容可知，文章接下来应该描述Spotty的死亡。
【佳作展台】
Paragraph  1：
One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg. I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat. I was very upset. But the next day, Spotty was up to his usual games though his leg was injured. After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense. I really admired him for his courage.
Paragraph 2：
Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly. We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere. After some time Spotty became quiet. The next morning, my heart skipped a beat when I didn't see Spotty. I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere. I cried and waited for him but there were no signs of him. What would have happened to Spotty? Would he have died? These were the only questions in my mind, but they all remained unanswered forever.
