One day,a baby snail(蜗牛)found that he had to carry a big and heavy shell at any time.He was confused(困惑的),so he went up to his mother and asked,"Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?"His mother said,"Because we don't have bones to hold us up.We can only move slowly,so we need a shell to protect us."

The baby snail asked again,"The caterpillar(毛毛虫)has no bones,either,and she can't move quickly.Why can she live without a shell?"The mother snail answered,"That's because a caterpillar will become a butterfly(蝴蝶).She can fly high into the sky.The sky can protect her.

The baby snail had one more question,"But the earthworm(蚯蚓)moves like us.He has no bones and he won't turn into a butterfly.Why doesn't he carry a hard and heavy shell?"His mother said,"He can dig a hole and hide in the ground,and then the earth can protect him."

The baby snail then cried,"We are so poor!We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!"His mother smiled at him,"That's why we have a shell.My dear,imagine that if we don't have the shells,what will happen to us?Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we'll have nowhere to sleep.What's more,we'll die in the heavy rain.How terrible it is!We don't depend on the sky or the ground for protection.We should depend on ourselves."

根据短文内容,回答下列问题.

81.Whom did the baby snail ask for help,his mother or father?

Letter A

Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time,that they will never be as free again So,my question is﹣why fill up all this free time with housework?Parents expect their children to get good grades,be good at sports,and be popular with other kids.However,there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well.It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework.Parents and children both have jobs.Parents'jobs are in the workplace.Their children's jobs are at school.

The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't.Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility.But this is just a trick.Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.

Yours,

Letter B

Both parents and children have jobs.The parent's job is to go to work to earn money.The child's job is to go to school.But we all get huggry.Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward.We all wear clothes that get dirty.Someone has to wash them,iron them,and put them away.Chlidren work from 9 until 4.Parents work from 8 until 6.Sure,after 4 o'clock,children have homework.But after 6,parents have homework too.They have to do the shopping,go to the bank,pay the bills,and help their kids with their own homework!

I think it's only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home.They might not like it,but it's good for them.It teaches them how to look after themselves.This is really useful when (93)     

Sincerely,

Overworked

88.What is the writer's question in LetterA?

  

89.How are parent's jobs different from children's jobs according to Letter A?

"May we all be blessed with longevity.Though miles apart,we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together(但愿人长久,千里共婵娟)."wrote Su Shi,a poet during the Song Dynasty,in his well﹣known poem to his younger brothers Su Zhe.

The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar(阴历).On this day,people celebrate Mid﹣Autumn Festival.It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country.

In ancient China,that day was a harvest(收获)festival because crops(庄稼)were harvested during that period.It was a time for relaxation and celebration.

Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries,families also try to get together for the Mid﹣Autumn Festival in China.Usually,no matter how far away or how busy they are,people will try to return home for the celebration.

The Mid﹣Autumn has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays.People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs.The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon.The full moon and moon cakes stand for family reunion(团聚).

With the beautiful moon up in the sky,people sit together,enjoy the full moon,eat moon cakes and fruit,share the stories,and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live afar.

(1)Who did Su Shi write the poem for in Paragraph One?

(2)Why was the Mid﹣Autumn Festival a harvest festival in ancient China?

It's sad to learn that a whale has died in the ocean. However, that is not the end for the whale.It gives a lot to other sea animals after death.

When a whale dies, it quickly drops to the bottom of the ocean floor. There the whale's dead body provides food and nutrients(营养) for deep sea animals. The remains(残髓) can last(持续) for ten years and build an ecosystem called a whale fall ﹣ an "oasis(绿洲)" of life in the deep sea.

Chinese scientists found a whale fall for the first time in the South China Sea this year. The whale fall ecosystem can stay in the deep ocean because of great pressure and cold temperature there. They can stop the body from decomposing(分解) too quickly. The depth(深度) makes it hard for scientists to find the whale fall There are less than 50 known whale falls in the world.

The whale fall in the South China Sea is about three meters long.Scientists have found several species(物种) near the whale fall. Some fish have started to eat the whale's tail. A scientist named Xie Wei says the whale fall might be quite recent and needs long﹣term observation(观察). By studying the whale fall, scientists can better understand how sea ecosystems support life.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题.

(1)What does the whale's dead body provide for deep﹣sea animals?   

(2)Where did Chinese scientists find a whale fall for the first time?   

(3)Why can the whale fall ecosystem stay in the deep ocean?   

(4)Are there any species near the whale fall in the South China Sea?

Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字)in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider(提供者) you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random(随机的).

The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted (联系)for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

(1)Is China the only country that uses 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers in the world?  

(2)What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China?  

(3)Why does China use 1l digits for mobile phone numbers?  

(4)When can a mobile phone number be recycled in China?  

(5)Which country perhaps has the shortest mobile phone numbers in the world?

To the Editor,

    I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One,the sixth﹣grade mentoring (指导) group.Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students.Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring.We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group. This is my first year as a mentor,but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it.

    I was assigned (分配) to a mentor last year. Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me. I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies, going from nearly failing math to passing it. It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college? Even if I don't, I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life. My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself. Now that I am a mentor, I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life.In many situations,lasting friendships are made as well. My mentor and I hit it off right away.And we're still good friends today.

    Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment(承诺).Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring.Considering your responsibilities,it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule.But I hope you will at least consider the possibility.

    Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Mark Lopez
