It was my birthday last Thursday. I decided to 36 it by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a _37_ part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is _38_ ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually _39_ to book a table. In _40_ case, Thursday is not a busy evening.
When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely __41_ . I___42__but not a singletable was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. "A party of tourists came in about half an hour ago.” he said. "It was like an invasion (侵略). Suddenly the place was full! We can hardly_ 43_ ."
The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. "The people there are about to _44_ ." he said, "Just hold on and you"ll _45 _a place there." He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people_46 the corner table paid their _47_ , got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
__48__ our table was almost out of sight. We tried to draw the attention of the waiter _49_ sent us there, but he, like all the other waiters, was busy 50_ the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. At last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very _51_ with life. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our _52_ .
A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had _53_ for us. 54_ a little sorry he told us that there was _55_ left. "All we can offer you" he said, "is an omelet (煎蛋卷) !"

Molly was a peasant girl. Her parents did not have much money and Molly did not have many nice clothes.
One day Molly’s father said to her, “Molly, take this pot of milk to market and sell it. You may keep the money.”
Molly was very happy. She put the pot of milk on her head and started her journey to market. While she was walking alone she began to think. “I will get quite a lot of money for this milk,” she thought. “What will I do with the money? I will buy a lot of eggs. I will take the eggs home with me. One of our hens will sit on them. Then there will be lots of little chickens. I will not sell the chickens. They will grow into hens. Then there will be more eggs. And these eggs will give me still more chickens. Soon I will have hundreds of hens. Then I will sell them all. They will bring me a lot of money. I will be rich. I will buy lots of new clothes. I will always wear nice clothes. Then a rich man will marry me. We will have a beautiful house, a big car and nice children...”

Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to schools, shops and anywhere else. Therefore, China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.
Compared with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.
However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don’t obey the traffic rules and some riders don’t think about others safety. So they ride too fast. During the rush hour, too many bicycles may cause traffic accidents. We still have a long way to solve the problem.
小题1: Where can you see bicycles in China?| A．In the big city | B．In the town | | C．Almost everywhere | D．In the countryside |

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends, who will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!
小题1: If you have fair-weather friends, _____.| A．they will give you all that they have when you need help | | B．you will be refused when you get into trouble | | C．you will become rich | | D．you can be sure that you get real friends |
小题2:Good friends need to ______.| A．always point out each other’s mistakes | | B．be helped with money | | C．understand each other’s feelings | | D．have money or luck. |
小题3: This passage mainly discusses ________. | A．the qualities of a friend | | B．where to choose friends | | C．how to get along with friends | | D．the importance of having a friend |

We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand（泰国）. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising. The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables.

We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say“hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.
