(原创)Three years ago, a Chinese packed his simple possessions into a rickshaw(三轮车), and pedaled (蹬车)his rickshaw all the way from China to London to “promote the Olympic spirit”. After pedaling 37,500 miles through 16 countries, he arrived_in_London in July, 2017, just before the 30th Olympic Games.
Now, Mr Chen Guanming, a 58yearold farmer from China, wants to do it again, pedaling his rickshaw to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil for the 2016 Olympics.
Using tickets donated by an airline, he arrived in London in July, 2017. Earlier this month he set off on the first leg of a trip which will be at least 5,800 miles. First, he pedaled to Liverpool, where friends secured free transport of the rickshaw to Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada, ready for Mr Chen's journey south.
However, for a Chinese speaker with only four words of English — one of which is “toilet” — pedaling a rickshaw on England's highways is not easy. In Cambridgeshire he was stopped on the A14 when his rickshaw caused traffic jams. Near StokeonTrent he again came to the attention of police, pedaling along the A50, a road heavily used by trucks. They offered him an escort(护送) to “more suitable roads”， but he refused. Asked why he insisted on using Aroads, Mr Chen said: “It's too complicated to use small roads because I don't have a GPS. I can recognise signs on bigger roads and know I'm going the right way.”
John Beeston helped him plan the journey to Rio. He joined Mr Chen on Monday as they said goodbye to the rickshaw at the Port of Liverpool. With the rickshaw already on its way to Canada, Mr Beeston had to find a way for his friend to travel and eventually an airline offered an “affordable” flight from Heathrow on Saturday. Mr Chen will then continue the next leg of his Olympian journey, with his friend tracking his progress.
With his sights set on Rio, does Mr Chen think 2016 will be the year he finally returns to China?
“I will keep going. It is my job now to tell the people of the world about the Olympics and about peace. I'll never stop doing the job I love until I die，” he said.
1. What do you know about Mr. Chen's first global trip to the London Olympic Games?
A. He pedaled 37,500 kilometers on the trip.
B. It took him three years to arrive in London.
C. He traveled across 16 countries on the trip.
D. The police offered him an escort to Canada.
2. How did Mr. Chen Guanming get to London in July, 2017?
A. By plane.
B. By ship.
C. On foot.
D. By bike.
3. We can infer that ______.
A. Mr. Chen speaks English very well
B. Mr. Chen had trouble in communicating with people in England
C. the police often found faults with Mr. Chen
D. Mr. Chen becomes wealthy after the first global trip
4. Mr. Chen preferred to use Aroads in England because ______.

B. Aroads were quiet
C. Aroads were convenient
D. Aroads were busy
5. Which of the following words can be used to describe Mr. Chen?

Ⅳ.阅读简答
Manute Bol played ten years in the National Basketball Association. But he will be remembered as much for his shotblocking in the NBA as for his charity work in Sudan. He died from kidney failure in June 19, 2010. He was only fortyseven years old. He became sick while working in his homeland.
Manute Bol was born in southern Sudan. He stood 231 centimeters — tall even for a Dinka, some of Africa's tallest people. His father, a tribal chief, did not think basketball was “good work for a Dinka”. But the teenager chose it over herding his family's cattle.He did not have much luck, though, the first time he went up to play the ball. As he once told the Washington Post: “When I came down I hurt my teeth in the net.”
In the NBA, Manute Bol averaged less than three points a game on offense (进攻). But on defense, he became one of the most feared shotblockers (后卫)in the leagues. Former player Rory Sparrow says he was not afraid of anyone — not even Michael Jordan.
He finished his career as the fourteenth best shotblocker in NBA history. He enjoyed his fame. But he never forgot his people. Years of civil war left southern Sudan in ruins. He lost 250 members of his extended family in the war. He helped raise money for refugees and donated nearly all of the six million dollars he made playing basketball. Before his death, he was working with the Sudan Sunrise group to help bring the country together. His goal was to build fortyone schools.
“God guided me to America and gave me a good job. But he also gave me a heart, so I would look back，” he said in 2004. That year, Manute Bol broke his neck in a car accident. He was thrown from a taxi. After recovering, he moved to the state of Kansas, and met United States Senator Sam Brownback. Sam Brownback said, “I can't think of a person that I know of in the world that used their celebrity status for a greater good than what Manute Bol did. He used it for his people. He gave his life for his people.”

.One possible version：
I'm a 17yearold boy, but I'm only 156 cm. Because of my short height, I used to be laughed at by my classmates and was rejected by the basketball team. To increase my height, I turned to the doctor for help. But the treatment had little effect on me! I became so worried that my academic grades fell sharply.
Having realized my problem, my class teacher came to my help. She said short persons can also make great differences. Deng Xiaoping is one of the examples. She encouraged me to face the reality and focus on my study. With her help, I ignored my worries and devoted myself to my lessons. Now I become one of five top students in my class. I also become very confidence and cheerful.
My success shows that what counts most is your ability rather than your height. You can't change your height but you can change your life. There's nothing wrong with being short. Forget your tiny size.
