My 14-year-old brother John dreamed of having a black woolen coat, for at that time this kind of coat was 31 with teenagers, but it could cost several hundred dollars. One day my brother and I went into a shop and saw a black woolen coat at the same time. The coat felt very soft, and it cost only $28. It was 32 but so nice. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone.
John tried on the coat and 33 it at once. John wore the coat to school the next day happily and came home with a big 34 . “How do the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They love it,” he said. I started to call him “Lord (老爷) John”.
Over the next few weeks, there seemed to be a 35 in John. He became more polite, more confident and more pleasing. He would 36 his classmates his pens; he would bring his father a cup of tea when he got home; he would 37 a blind man cross the road.
When my mother talked about her son’s change with one of his teachers and wondered what caused it, he said, “It must be his 38 !” One day, in the library, my brother and I happened to meet a friend of my father’s, who had not seen us for a long time. John came up and shook hands with him like a 39 ! The friend said in surprise, “Are you John? You have changed so much!”

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 16 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could 17 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 18 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my 19 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I 20 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 21 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we 22 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going 23 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 24 shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 25 sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe, 26 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write 27 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
Three weeks later, I arrived home and 28 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had 29 the post office all these years. Today I 30 send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

My name is Ben Mansury. I’m fifteen years old and study in a middle school. In school, I never join in any group discussion or stage (舞台) program. So, I never knew what stage nervousness was.
Our community (社区) has a weekly “Students Ideas” program. About two years ago, I received a(n) 1 from the chairman of our community. He invited me to the “Students Ideas” talk the next morning to speak to the group.
The time between his call to the next morning was like several weeks for me. The whole night, I could not sleep. Many 2 were coming. One of them was to call the chairman, with regret, and tell him that I could not come. But finally, I thought, if I missed this 3 , the community would never invite me again to any of their programs. So, I decided to go.

完形填空。 Happiness is for everyone. And you don"t need to care about those people who are very 1 . Why?
Because those who have big houses may often feel 2 and those who have cars may want to 3 on
the country roads in their free time. In fact, happiness is 4 around you if you put your heart into it.
When you are 5 , you may feel worried. But remember that your friends will help you; when you study
hard at your lessons, you may feel 6 ; but you know your parents are always taking good care of your
life and your 7 ; when you get success, your friends will say 8 to you; when you do something
wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something 9 to others, you will
feel happy, too. All these are your happiness.
Happiness is not 10 as money; it is a feeling of your heart. When you are 11 , you can also say
you are very happy, because you have something else that money can"t buy. When you meet with 12 , you
can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes:
Life is like a revolving (转动的) door. When it closes, it also 13 . If you take every chance you get, you can
be a happy and 14 person. So let"s be 15 every day.阅读理解。 Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and
do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don"t always want people around. But we
would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don"t get along well. That doesn"t mean that they no
longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up (和解) and go on being friends.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them
and write to them. It is possible that we will even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising
to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think
of these people when we go to these places.
There"s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don"t. Why? It
could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares.
If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.1. The first paragraph tells us . [ ] A. nobody needs friends
B. we always need friends around
C. making friends is a need in people"s lives
D. we never need to be alone2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? [ ] 阅读理解。 Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying: Friends are God"s way of taking care of us. But how
do you find real friendship and keep it?"
The Care and Keeping of Friends" by American author Sally Seamans tells young students some smart
ways to find friends.
Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it
grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money
or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend
should listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do their best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy.
You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you
have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest talk.
If he or she doesn"t want to talk, you could write a letter.
Sally says there are three steps to being friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what
your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. The book also has advice on some small
but important things like celebrating your friends" success. Even if you haven"t had a real friend before, you
will start to think of having one if you read this book. Because the book tells that friendship is the most
important thing in your life.1. The writer of the text really wants to tell us _______. [ ] A. life is great if we have friends
B. an old saying
C. Sally Seamans is an American writer
D. God"s way of taking care of us2. "The Care and Keeping of Friends" is _______. [ ] 阅读短文,并根据其内容回答问题。 Everyone wants to own the friendship, because without a friend, the world is like a desert. The
friendship is thought very important. Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don"t
give friendship back. That is one of the causes why some friendships don"t last very long. To have a
friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to
treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning the following rules.
Honesty (诚实) is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust (信任) one another.
If you don"t tell the truth, people usually find out, and you may lose your friend"s trust. Good friends
always trust in one another to speak and do things honestly.
Generosity means sharing (分享) and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don"t have to give your
lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you share your ideas and feelings. These can be valuable
(宝贵的) to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friends
know you better.
Sooner or late everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at
school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in
solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your
friend"s place, so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. In fact,
good friendship will just not easily last. That is to say, you must give as much as you take, or friendship will
die away.
1. Is it easy to keep a good friendship?
2. What are the three rules to be a good friend?
3. Which is the base of friendship among the three rules?
4. How do you let your friends know you?
5. In what way can you keep friendships long?
阅读理解。 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 on the country
roads at 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 (祝贺) to you;
when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something
good to others, you will feel happy 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 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. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be
a happy and lucky person.1. According to the passage happiness is for ______. [ ] A. the people who have money
B. the people who have beautiful houses
C. the people who have nice cars
D. everyone2. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will . [ ] 阅读下面的短文,根据每个空格中所给的首字母填入适当的词,使短文意思完整。 Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the top. Along

The "Spider-story" is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a
cave from the English. He watched a spider making a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place
in the rock. He tried six times. On the 2 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said
to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light
bulb, made hundreds of models that failed 3 he found the correct way to make one. Once he was asked
4 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, "Failure? I
have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways that won"t work."
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it?Were conditions OK? Were you in top
from yourself? What can you change? So things will go 5 next time.
Second, is the goal you"re trying to reach a proper one? Try to do some 6 about what your real goals
may be. Think about this question. "If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent
failure in things you shouldn"t be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in ears about failure is that it"s a part of life. Learn to live with yourself even though
you may have 7 .阅读理解。 Have you ever heard of the saying," If you want a friend, be one." What does it mean? There are
many different things that you can do to make friends. You may find out what they are if you watch
someone make friends.
Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of the
school. When the bell rang, the teacher smiled at all the students. Then she said, "Good morning.
How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year! I want to know each of you very much. I am
sure we will enjoy working together."
The teacher smiled, used a pleasant voice, and acted in a friendly way. She told the students her
name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them something she liked to do and hoped to do
with them during the year. The students knew that she liked many of the things they liked. Everyone
felt that she meant what she said. Each of them wanted to know her better and be her friend.
Then she let the students tell something about themselves. So they felt that the teacher knew them.
Could you make friends as the teacher did?
How do you get to know your classmates? One way is to find out more about them. During the
break you can talk to them. You may ask them their names and the names of the schools they went to
last year. They want to know about you, too. You may tell them about your interests or your holiday
experiences. It is often easy to be friends with whom people have the same interests and play the same
games. As you talk, the others may think, "I like to do the same things you do. It would be fun to be
friends with you."
Remember! Just talking together in a friendly way is one good way to make friends.根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)。

singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?
The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all
different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on.
The trees feed the forest "People" by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and
minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying
out, making it possible for living things to live in it.
Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the
farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks (售票员) to sell it
to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of
course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.
We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our
problems, exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to
help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know,
being a volunteer is so great!1. According to the text, colorful plants and flowers live on ____. [ ] A. the leaves of the trees
B. water and minerals
C. the soil and air

guide-book in hand. Of course, we may 1 with our guide-books the history and special developments
of a town and get to know them. 2 then, if we take our time and stay in a town for a while, we may
get to know it better. When we look at it as a whole, we begin to have some 3 , which even the best
guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 4 this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its
streets 5 in this particular way, and not in any other way?
Here even the best guide-book fails us. One can"t find in it the information about how a town has
developed to the 6 appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) design of a town. However,
one may get some ideas of what it 7 to look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine
8 the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 9
to develop.
What is the point of studying towns in this way? For me, it is simply that one gets greater pleasure by
visiting and seeing a town with one"s own eyes. A personal visit to a town may help one better understand
why it is attractive 10 just reading about it in a guide-book.阅读理解。 In today"s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it.
Money does have its most useful effect (影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more
money doesn"t mean more happiness.
If money was everything, all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health
and a long life. However, this is not always true.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are "I love you". But can love be bought? I"m
afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most
precious (宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is "No".
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can"t be bought
either. In a word, where money is worshiped (崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate,
strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy
person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.1. According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right? [ ] A. Money is everything.
B. Money isn"t necessary.
C. Money is important, but not the most important.

qualities(品质): First of all, health. A healthy body is the best riches (财富). Without it, nothing can be
done well. If you are poor in health, you will have to take medicine day after day. Even you can"t work,
do sports and so on. Secondly, one must have a kind heart. Always do something for others. Help those
in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a wonderful world it
would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability(能力) to work with others. Cooperation (合作) and
communication are two important keys to better human relations (关系). Everyone needs friends because
no one can live through life alone.
Patriotism is also something we should never forget. Patriotism means a love for one"s country. It is
one of the highest qualities of humans". Everyone should love his country. But people sometimes think that
patriots (爱国者) must be fighters fighting for their country in hard times. That is wrong. A good youth"s
work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do.
I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be
able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more.根据短文内容,回答问题。

into good ones.
Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little without one being aware of (意识到) their
danger. School boys first pick up little bad habits in the school and on the street. When they can"t write
their lessons, they copy from their schoolmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn
to smoke. If they see their friends gambling (赌博), they want to gamble. When they get bigger, the habits
become stronger and stronger, so that they can no longer get rid of (摆脱, 除掉) them. From copying,
they learn to steal, from gambling, they learn to cheat (欺骗). At last they become distrusted (不信任) by

our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare (比较) the prices of things
in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands (商标). We need to know
how to make reasonable choices when we shop.
Knowing how to make such choices is a life skill. And we need these skills if we are to lead useful and
happy lives.
Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I get the bus
to school today or will I walk? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are
more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it"s delicious?
Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make decisions like
this every day.
Making the wrong choices can result in unhappiness. We have to realize that the choices we make can
affect the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you
decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think this: Who else does
your choice affect?1. What helps us use money wisely? [ ] A. Comparing prices and brands.

I can already hear firecrackers in the distance as the New Year begins. It is time to celebrate 2005.
This is a brand new year for those of us who follow the Western calendar. Of course, according to the
lunar calendar, the firecrackers will not sound for the New Year until February when the year of Rooster
(公鸡) officially begins. I feel lucky to live in Shanghai because I can celebrate two different New Years.
I am looking forward to learning about the traditions of Chinese New Year.
At home in Canada, everyone in my family writes down their predictions (预言) for the next year.
Then we hide them away for an entire (完整的) year (no peeking!) and read them on New Year"s Day.
I didn"t predict that I would be living in Shanghai, China this year and if I had, I would never have predicted
that I would be enjoying life here so much. (Better luck next year with my predictions!)
I think I"ll play it safe this year and predict that many new buildings will go up in my neighbourhood in
Gubei! That is a prediction that is sure to come true, here in the fastest-growing city in the world! Another
tradition at the New Year is writing down all those resolutions (决心). So here I go! I have some plans for
the New Year that I intended (打算) to keep. For example, I plan to work much harder on learning Chinese.
It is not an easy language, but living here gives me a once in a lifetime opportunity to really learn it. So, I
plan to apply myself, yes I do.
I will use a new Chinese phrase every day when I am out in the city. My second resolution is to get rid
of the habit of procrastination (拖延)! I am one of those people who always leave things to the last minute
and that has got to change! No more staying up late to finish my homework at the last minute.

There is no doubt (怀疑) that every one of us wants to be successful, but we can"t always avoid failure.
People have different opinions about the failure. Some people regard failure as a bad thing. They hold
that they should always do everything well. If they fail in something, they will lose their confidence. Other
people regard failure as a chance to learn. They redo (重做) what they failed to do. They know complaining
won"t help themselves.
As an old saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success." As long as we keep to what is right and correct
what is wrong in time, we will have success. In my opinion, failure is not bad, it"s not good, either.1. Failure can make people lose their confidence. (T or F)

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 on
the country roads at 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 will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to
others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness.
If you notice 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) door. When it closes it also
opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.1. Happiness is for ______. [ ] A. those who have large and beautiful houses

a big smile.
2 Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and
you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything 5 .
3 Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about 6 in class. If you go to
bed 7 and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body
strong.
4 Do today"s work today. Do not say you will do things 8 . if you get 9 the class, it is very
difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.
5 Don"t be too disappointed if things sometimes go 10 . Everyone fails some tests, loses some
matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do 11 things.
Don"t let small problems seem very big and important.
6 Talk about problems-sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don"t be too
embarrassed (窘迫) to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do 12 !
7 Plan your time. Don"t waste life 13 in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn
the piano, work on a project, read a book, practice English, or help someone 14 problems. There are
always a lot of things to do.
8 Set targets (目标). If your last grade was a D, work for a C. Try to make 15 bit by bit. Think
of small targets:"I will speak in class four times this week", "I will finish my project on Wednesday" or
"I will get two more marks this week"

singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?
The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all
different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on.
The trees feed the forest "people" by making food in their leaves, by using sunlight to join water and
minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying
out, making it possible for living things to live in it.
Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the
farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks to sell it to us. We
need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of course, we
need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.
We also need other human being in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our problems,
exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to
help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know,
being a volunteer is so great.1. According to the text, colorful plants and flowers live on ______. [ ] A. the leaves of the trees

do things with. Surely, there is time when we need to be alone. We don"t always want people around. But
we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.
No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don"t get along well. That doesn"t mean that they no
longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them
or write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is
surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There"s more good for people with friends. They live longer than people who don"t. Why? It could be that

angry look on their faces. They seem to say, "Get away! I hate everybody." But to a parent, that hairless,
wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When that proud father or
mother asks you, "Well, what do you think of my baby? Isn"t she beautiful?" What are you going to say? Is
the time for the truth? Of course not!
You look that proud father in the eye and say, "Yes, she is! She"s really a beauty. She"s one in a million.
She"s going to be a movie star! I can tell! She"s as beautiful as a picture."
In English, this is a white lie. White lies don"t hurt people. They are not cruel (残忍的) or angry words.
People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. When people don"t want to meet someone, or eat
something new that they really don"t like at a friend"s house, they tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind.
They don"t want to hurt someone. It"s important to be honest, but many people feel that being kind is
sometimes more important.1. Parents are usually ______ when their new babies are born. [ ] A. angry

going to be when you grow up?"
At first I said I wanted to be a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, artist, architect
(建筑师)… As I grew older my dreams of the future changed. When at last I was in college, I was asked: "What
will you major (主修) in?" By then I had my heart set on becoming a computer programmer. So I studied and
prepared for that life. I was designing software full-time for much of my life.
I am content (满意的) that could realize my dream. However, for many, there is a "thief" who goes around
stealing our dreams.
We find ourselves close to reaching our goal. Then we hear this small voice inside our heads saying: "You"ll
never make it." "You can"t possibly do this." "Very few have ever done this successfully." On and on, the voice
predicts (预言) some kind of failure.
Don"t listen to that voice. There are no overnight (突如其来的) successes, but with perseverance
(坚定不移). It will come. Imagine yourself in the life you dream of living. Then in your heart, believe it will
happen for you, as it has for others. Then work, work, and work! You get the picture.
Be true to your dream, and don"t let anyone steal it from you — especially yourself. You can do anything
your heart desires, so don"t give up or give in.1. As a child, the writer didn"t want to be ______. [ ] A. a cowboy

again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age
gives him without wasting his time in useless things.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities (责任) to think about. A child is usually fed, looked
after and loved by his parents. He will never be expected to do anything in return. In addition (另外), life is
always presenting (呈现) new things to a child, but the things that have lost their appeal (吸引力) for the old
because they are too well-known. In the meanwhile, a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes
to, he is continually (不断地) being told not to do a certain thing, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
After a child grows up, he starts to make his own living. He can no longer expect others to pay for his
food, his clothes, or his room, and he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time
playing about in the way he used to play as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he
used to break the laws of his parents, he may go in prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and
has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his own position in society.1. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that . [ ] A. life for a child is very easy
B. life for a child is very hard
C. only the old are interested in life
D. only children are interested in life2. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? [ ] A. Parents hardly expect their children to do anything in return.
B. Children get interested in things around them.
C. Adults are free to do what they want to.
D. Adults should rely on themselves.3. The main idea of the passage is that . [ ] A. life is never enjoyable since each age has some pains.
B. young men can have the greatest happiness.
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one"s life
D. one can be a happy person only if he can enjoy each age of his life4. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss . [ ] A. examples of successful young men
B. how to build up one"s position in society
C. joys and pains of old people
D. what to do when one has problems in life根据短文内容,找出相关信息,完成表格。 It seems that everybody tells lies-well, not big lies, but "white lies". Telling white lies isn"t really that bad.
Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don"t want to hurt someone. Here
are some ways they do it.
★ Giving false excuses.
Sometimes people lie because they don"t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a
party. You think it will be boring, so you say you"re busy.
★ Lying to make someone feel good.
Often we don"t tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but
it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say "Mmm, this is delicious!"
★ Lying to hide bad news.
Sometimes, we don"t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a terrible day at work,
but you don"t want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day, you just say
everything was fine.
