Thousands of years ago, birthdays were considered special days. On birthdays, the bad spirits were able to harm you and change your life. It was believed that the only way to solve the problem was to have your friends and family around you, so that good wishes and presents would keep the bad spirits away. Also, noisemakers were thought to be used at parties as a way of scaring away the evil spirits.
The custom of lighting candles was created by people believing that the gods lived in the sky. By lighting candles and torches, they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods, so they could be answered. Blowing out the candles and making a wish were thought to be another way of sending a signal or a message.
This is how the way we celebrate our birthdays came about. But different cultures celebrate in different ways.
The birthday story in the Bible(圣经) that we know best is about the birth of the Christ in Bethlehem(地名:伯利恒). For nearly 2000 years since that day, the Christian world has been honoring this birth. The day many Englishmen celebrate is, of course, Christmas. There are other references to birthday parties. King Pharaoh celebrated his birthday by making a feast for his court followers. That was over 4000 years ago. The story of King Herod tells that on his birthday he made a supper for his lords, high captains and other special friends in Galilee (地名:加利利).
According to the passage, good wishes and presents given by one’s friends and family on his birthday can _____________________.
A.cheer him up | B.prove that he’s a popular person |
C.bring him a big fortune | D.push bad spirits away |
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The custom of lighting candles originated with the gods. |
B.The gods celebrate their birthdays by lighting candles. |
C.People send messages to the gods by lighting or blowing out the candles. |
D.The gods will help people realize their dreams on their birthdays. |

A.how great the two kings were |
B.how different cultures celebrate in different ways |
C.the two kings’ excellent cooking skills |
D.that their court followers were awarded the special honors |

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
The biggest difficulty on the road to your dreams comes from _____________________.
A.yourself | B.your friends | C.your school | D.your parents. |
Which of the following isn’t mentioned in this passage?
A.You may think you’re not good at some school subjects. |
B.Making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. |
C.You must never give up your dream. |
D.Listening to English more can help you realize your dream. |
.How do you make your dream come true faster?
A. Remember what your dream is. B. Don’t let your dream leave your heart.
C. Keep telling yourself what you want every day. D. A, B and C.
The best title (标题)of this passage is _________________________.
A.How to become a writer | B.How to make your dream real |
C.A big dream is made up of small dreams | D.Everyone can realize his dream |

Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt(怀疑) you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰)during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ——between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, ____________.
A.you should have enough exercise | B.you can ask doctors for help |
C.you should save the environment | D.You can record your growth during puberty |
This passage is mainly about ____________.
A.how the genes work in your body | B.when is the time you grow fast |
C.why you look like your parents | D.how you grow to a certain height |
After reading this passage, we can explain ___________.
A.how good it is to be a doctor | B.how much sleep time we need |
C.why genes can’t decide everything | D.what healthy diet is |
Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are. |
B.Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’. |
C.The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed. |
D.You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast. |

It is interesting to know what people of different nations like to do best.
In France, when a woman enters a cafe or restaurant, she is freely discussed, not only about her appearance but about her past and future as well. She invites looks in the street whether she is beautiful or plain. There is no better way for a woman to get back her self-confidence than a walk in the streets of Paris or Marseilles, and women really like that.
In Italy, people love talking. They sit about in cafes, exchanging news and discussing politics. They do not hesitate to ask questions about the family, income and private life of anybody who happens to be there.
The Swiss eat as a pastime. Ladies walk into a teashop, eat a couple of ice creams and a large piece of chocolate cake, and then leave, complaining about their weight.
For the Americans, the greatest fondness is said to be the push of buttons. You push a button in the lift, you push a button for cigarette, chewing gums, stamps, even for a life insurance. You can even push a button to get married and another button to get divorced.
In England, waiting in a line is national passion. The English will form a line whether they have the opportunities when the train is practically empty and everybody can have a seat.
