I hid the long black bag in the garage (车库) two days ago. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief (小偷) in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I pulled the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer (锤子).
After much hard work, I finally completed my work. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas brought them this year. Why did the man feel nervous?
| A．He left the party too late. |
| B．He was afraid of the darkness. |
| C．He didn’t know where the black bag was. |
| D．He worried that others would know his secret. |
The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to_______.
| A．thieves | B．parents | C．children | D．neighbours |
In what order did the man do the following?
a. Read the kids a story.
b. Had a shower.
c. Worked in the moonlight.
d. Pulled the bag from the garage.
e. Went to a party.
| A．e-d-a-b-c | B．e-a-d-c-b |
| C．a-b-e-d-c | D．a-e-d-c-b |
How would the children feel when they saw the man’s work?
| A．Interested. | B．Excited. | C．Tired. | D．Angry. |

Bats are the only flying mammal(哺乳类动物) in the world. They can’t see very well. It is long believed, in many places, that all bats are blind(瞎的). “Blind as a bat” is often heard.
Yet they have no trouble flying in the darkest nights and finding their way around. How can bats fly and see at night? They fly by radar (雷达).
The bat’s radar system works the same way as the one that ships and planes use. When a bat flies through the air, it makes sounds that people can’t hear. If the sounds hit things, they will come back. The bat’s ears can receive the messages. In this way it can know where the things are.
Bats go out to look for food at night. In the daytime they stay in some dark places. Some people think bats are bad animals. In fact, they are useful animals.The bat has no trouble flying in the darkest nights because________.
| A．its eyes are good |

Long ago in a small village, there was a place. It is famous for the House of 1000 Mirrors.
A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs(楼梯) to the doorway(门口) of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high(竖起) and his tail(尾巴) wagging(摆动) as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often."
In the same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung(垂下) his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly-looking dogs looking back at him, he growled at them and was afraid to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a terrible place. I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections(反应) do you see in the faces of the people you meet?Why was the first dog surprised when he came into the house?

| B．If you show life a smile, life will smile back. |
| C．Everyone in the world should be nice to each other. |
| D．Happy people are more popular than unhappy ones. |

Can you swim? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on the radio. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener but he doesn’t dare to speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with people who knows English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
| A．going into the river and learning |
| B． looking at others swimming |
| C．having lessons on it |
| D． reading books about it |
| A．by train | B．on the radio |
| C．every minute | D．now and then |
| A．Don’t make mistakes. | B．Study hard |
| C．Try not to speak English | D．Don’t be afraid. |
| A．Listening. | B．Speaking. |
| C．Reading and writing. | D．Learning. |
| A．listening and speaking | B． reading and writing |
| C．swimming | D． A and B |
Weekday mornings are very busy for US middle school students. When your school doesn’t have a bus, and you live too far away to walk, you need a carpool (拼车). A carpool is a group of people sharing the responsibility (责任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns to drive the kids in their cars.
Someone’s car smells like wet dogs. Some kids get to eat desserts (甜点) for breakfast and some parents shout so much that all you try to do is to stay quiet and go unnoticed. When your mom or dad drives the carpool, your classmates get a close-up look at how strange your parents can be. It might be your first sociological (社会学) study and your first time to work with others.
Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It’s a great lesson in responsibility. Imagine (想象) sitting in the car outside of a classmate’s house, watching the clock and counting the seconds. Then you start to understand how your carpool friends might feel when you are still inside the house at 7:48. You really begin to learn all your real life lessons just moments before the start of school—in the carpool.What is a carpool?

A reader wrote to say that she was feeling left out at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems that everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you find it difficult to do this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends!
This text is written for ____________.
| A．teachers | B．parents |

When the bell rings, every student takes out an iPad. The light from the screens makes their young faces pretty and lively. That’s what happens every day at my school in the US. We use iPads in class.
I felt surprised and excited when I got an iPad the first day I arrived at the school. But it was not free. I spent about $100 to rent (租) it for three years.
Every iPad at my school has a special learning system (系统)
called Focus. Teachers put their teaching materials like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download (下载) the materials with our iPads.
It makes the classes interesting and efficient (高效的). For example, a few weeks ago, we learned about London in the UK. Our teacher prepared a video in which we saw many places of interest in London. We could not only watch the video, but also see the words at the same time. Because of the video, I know more about the city.
We also do our homework with iPads. We can know how well we do our homework right after we submit (提交) our homework.
However, there are still some bad points about learning with iPads. Some of my classmates play games or surf the Internet in class.
I believe the key to use iPads well is to have good self-control (自制), isn’t it?
In the writer’s class, every student ________.
| A．gets a free iPad from the teacher |
| B．plays games on iPads in each class |
| C．shares an iPad with their classmates in class |
| D．rents an iPad to use at school for three years |
The underlined word “Focus” is ________.

| D．the name of the iPad at school |
When students are learning with iPads, they should not ________.
| A．play games |
| B．watch some videos |
| C．download the materials |
| D．submit the homework |
According to the example in Paragraph 4, we learn that ________.
| A．students don’t like to use iPads in class |
| B．iPads are not useful when having classes |
| C．students use iPads to watch videos every class |
| D．iPads make the classes interesting and efficient |
What does the writer think of using iPads in school?
| A．Students should use iPads as often as possible. |
| B．To use iPads in school is very bad for students’ eyes. |
| C．Students should have good self-control when using iPads. |
| D．All students should use iPads to surf the Internet in class. |
A young American doctor is asleep when his doorbell rings. It is late at night, but he has to put on his coat to answer it.
It is a man! He is standing with a hat in his hand. “How do you do?”says the man.
“Can you go with me right now to a place out of the town? It is quite far from here, but I know you have a car and I can show you the way.”
“Certainly,”says the doctor, “I can go with you now.”
The car is at the front door. The man gets into the doctor's car and they drive off.
They drive on for a long time, and then the man says, “Here we are. This is my home. Now I give you money and you may go back.”
“But I must see the patient(病人),”the doctor says. “How can I go back without seeing the patient?”
“There's no patient, “says the man, “Nobody is ill. I live here. There is no taxi at this time, but a doctor often goes out for night calls(夜诊). So, excuse me. Here is your money. Thank you, doctor. Good night!”Why does the man come to see the doctor so late at night?
| A．Because someone is badly ill. |
| B．Because he is too tired to walk. |
| C．Because he wants the doctor to drive him home. |

67．How long can the two ice packs last？
67．Why were there no flights to Washington？
