When a waitress discovered what had happened, she felt really sorry for him and wanted to give him a hand.So the next morning when he was out taking a walk in the garden, she put a nail on the wall exactly where the fly had stayed.

Car-hailing company DiDi signed(签署) an agreement with TAL Education Group to provide free online courses for the children of taxi drivers. The courses, worth 30 million yuan, cover all subjects from primary to high school. Children can study co urses at home, saving parents’ time to spend or pick up children from off-line after-school classes.
According to Zhu Jingshi, vice president of DiDi, all 153 million registered (注册) taxi drivers of DiDi can ask for the courses on the company’s mobile app. The car-hailing company will evaluate (评价) the drivers and provide courses on the basis of the time they became registered drivers with the company, the number of passengers served and evaluation from passengers.
The health and education of children have remained top priorities of Chinese parents, including taxi drivers. A survey done by DiDi and TAL showed that although the average monthly income (平均月收入) of taxi drivers is only 6000 yuan, many would like to pay 40 percent of their income for their childr en’s education.
The survey found that most taxi drivers were born in the 1970s and 1980s and worked seven days a week. More than 70 percent of them have children under 18 but very few have time to be with family and children. Only 8 percent of them said they had guided their children in doing homework. Because of these, 60 percent of drivers hope their children could receive the guidance from professional services.
25. The online courses would help taxi drivers ________ for their children’s education.
A. find good schools
B. get better teachers
C. save time and money D make money

A. 2000
B. 4000
C. 6000 D 2400
28. This passage mainly tells us about ________.
A. a new kind of transportation called DiDi

D the taxi drivers should get education from the course

Everyone has a beautiful memory about school which is hard to forget. Among many things, relationships are the hardest to leave behind. Some schools try to stop students’ puppy love(早恋) in different ways. Anything about “love” relationship is not allowed. For example, a middle school in Fujian Province forbids (禁止) boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time; a middle school in Luohe, Henan Province sets rules that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other classmates, and if they meet in private they will be asked to go home with parents for more than a week and even advised to leave school; a middle school in Jinan, Shandong Province forbids everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them form the opposite sex (异性). It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires a “44 cm” distance between boys and girls.
Some students are not satisfied with such rules. “Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat? It’s not using bathrooms!” Some people who care about the intelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules. For this, I’d like to say that middle school students are going through puberty (青春期). It’s normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex. Schools should provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to follow.
29. The first paragraph mainly tells us about ________.
A. a beautiful memory of school to leave behind
B. some strict rules to stop students’ pupp y love
C. some opinions to deal with students’ puppy love
D some students fall in lov with each other
30 In a middle school in Jinan, a boy can’t ________ a girl.
A. sit for meals with
B. meet in private with
C. send a gift to
D study with
31. We’ve learnt about ________ rules made by schools as examples in this passage.
A. 3
B.
6 C. 9 D 5
32 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?
A. Not all the students agree with the rules made to stop puppy love.
B. In a middle school in Fuji an, boys and girls can’t sit together in class.
C. Those rules can help students go through puberty without any difficulties.
D. The students are satisfied with such rules
D
Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.
All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom. To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!
There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.
33. From the passage we know that our dreams .
A. are imagination of our daily life
B. are man’s curious look into the future
C. have nothing to do with our feelings
D. are to some degree connected with our feelings
34. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that .
A. you are in a state of being cold
B. you are in a state of being tired
C. you are in a state of hunger
D. you should have had your dinner that day
35. Older children often dream of examinations probably because .
A. they are interested in exams
B. they are often worried about their studies
C. they hope for better life
D. they show much interest in their studies

Maybe you are an ordinary student. 36 This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc, then decide a good,
regular time for studying. 37 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Make good use of your time in class. 38 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 39 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
40 You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A. This will help you understand the next class.
B. You probably think you will never be a top student.
C. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.(娱乐)
D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E. There are other methods that might help you with your study.
F. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.
G. Make full use of spare time to take note of what the teacher says in class.
