My son Joey was born with club feet．The doctors told us that he would be able to walk，but would never run very well．By the time he was eight，you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk．
The children in our neighborhood ran around playing，and Joey would join them， run and play，too．We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children．So he didn’t know．
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team．Every day he worked harder and ran more than any of the others．Although the entire team runs，only the top seven runners score for the school．We didn’t tell him he probably would never be on the team，so he didn’t know．
He continued to run four to five miles a day，every day - even the day he had a high fever．I was worried，so I went to see him after school．I found him running all alone．I asked him how he felt．"Okay，" he said．He had two more miles to go．Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running．We never told him he couldn’t run miles with a high fever．So he didn’t know．
Two weeks later，the names of the team runners were called．Joey was Number Six on the list．Joey was on the team! He was in seventh grade．We never told him he couldn’t do it!
The doctor believed Joey would never run very well because ____．

Few people know Joey’s club feet before ____．

In old times，man considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries（神秘事物）of nature．In fact a single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million lamps．
The American scientist，Benjamin Franklin，was the first to suggest that lightning is in fact electricity formed between the earth and clouds high above．It happened in 1752．In the same year，he also built the first lightning rod（避雷针）to protect buildings from being struck by lightnings．
Modern science has discovered that lightning is very strong and powerful．A lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers，and travels at a speed of 30 million meters per second．Scientists have the opinion that there are about 2000 million flashes of lightning per year．In the United States alone，it kills almost one person per day．
The safest place to be in during an electrical（电的）storm is a closed car．Outside，one should go close to low ground for cover and not stop under a tree．Also one should stay out of water and away from metal fences．Inside a house people should keep away from open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things．
From this passage we know lightning is____．

In the U．S____．

A lightning rod can______．

A lightning between a cloud and the earth may be 13 kilometers long，and travels at

The early history of the city of Rome involves Romulus and Remus，two orphan boys who，legend says，were raised by a she-wolf．The boys’ mother had been murdered by an evil king and the two babies tossed into the river Tiber．When the wolf found them they had washed up on the shore．She perhaps took pity on the crying of the babies and，gently picking them up in her teeth，she carried them back to her cave and fed them on her milk．The boys grew bigger and stronger and，eventually，were found by a herdsman who took them home．He and his wife raised the boys like their own children．When they reached manhood they sought revenge on the king who had killed their mother and driven them from their home．
They decided to build a city．Unfortunately，they argued over the appropriate site and Romulus killed his brother Remus．Romulus ruled this city — called Roma — for thirty-seven years．
The city of Rome is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world．If you travel there you can see a statue of the two baby boys feeding from their mother - the wolf．
What is the main idea of the passage?

What is a herdsman?

"．．．they sought revenge on the king who had killed their mother．．．" means．．．

Which is true according to the passage?

We can infer from the passage that ____．

If an American is satisfied with you，he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle．That means OK．But in Brazil，the very sign is considered to be rude．In Poland，a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess．The number must be an odd（奇数）one．Besides，the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers．And usually，the red rose is a sign of love．
Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disagreement．To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria．
The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable．We should learn more about them to avoid embarrassment（窘迫）．Then，would you please remember：When in Rome，do as the Romans do．
In Poland，if a man gives some odd red roses to a woman as a present，it means that he ____．

If an American puts his thumb and forefinger into a circle，it shows that he_____ you．

In Poland，it is _____ for the hostess to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers somebody has presented to her．

How do you feel when you stay in hospital alone? Jenny, 13, a US student, feels bored. She knows the feeling because she has been in hospital many times herself. One day, she thought of an idea—if patients could get some books to read, they would feel better. So, from May, she and many of her friends began to collect books for hospital patients.
In six months the students collected 1,250 books at school. They decided to donate the books to the North Shore Medical Centre, a children’s hospital next door to their school. “There are books for kids of all ages, from babies up to high school level.” said Jenny.
The students put the books into “early readers”, “middle readers” and “advanced readers”. Then they wrote their best wishes to patients on bookmarks (书签) and letters, put the books in big boxes and donated them to the hospital.
“We wrote things like, “Keep on reading!’ and ‘Hope you feel better!’,” siad John, 14, Jenny’s brother. “And we also wrote some funny things to make them laugh.”
Frank, 12, and Steven, 14, helped carry 16 large boxes of books into a car. “I think these books will make me a lot of patients feel happy.” said Frank. Steven shared his opinion. “It is really the most meaningful thing that I have ever done in my life.”
Who first thought of the idea of helping those bored patients in hospital?

From the article, we can learn that _______.

The best title for the article might be “_______”.

Which of the following words can be used to describe those student?

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in north-east China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The reserve covers an area of 210,000 hectares. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.
Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay there for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong has long been called “the home of the crane”. There are 15 crane species (物种) in the world. 8 of them are in China and there are 6 species in Zhalong area. It is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Every spring and summer, red-crowned cranes lay and hatch (孵化) their eggs in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife. More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.
Every year, a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year, members of our Bird-watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.
We _______ once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds.
Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.
What does the underlined word “ideal” mean?

What can we learn from the second paragraph?

Which of the following can we choose for the blank (空白) in the fifth paragraph?

Which of the following is RIGHT according to the article?

From the article, we know ______ is a cruel character.

Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked (锁上的). “How will I ever get out again?” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.
Then she saw another door, a door that was only forty centimetres high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldn’t get through it—she was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door, into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.
“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller?” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.
After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters.
“It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles,” she said. “What will it do to me?”She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.
“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” And she was. “And now,” she said happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”
She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above her, on top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.
At last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it, and found a very small cake with the words EAT Me on it.
Nothing could surprise Alice now.
Where did Alice find the little gold key according to the story?

We can learn that Alice felt a little ______ from the underlined sentence.

Which is the right order of the events according to the story?
① Alice saw a little glass box near her on the floor.
② Alice came to a long dark room.
③ Alice saw a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.

How to beat sadness
We all have days when we are down, tired and unhappy. That’s OK. You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You’ll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is a part of life, let’s try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.
1. Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow (流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.
2. Smile! It’s easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.
3. Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.
4. Take some “me” time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.
5. Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.
These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad. Try and practice them every day to make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away. But if you are in a deep depression (沮丧), go to see a doctor.
