I was so ashamed, I didn’t go home after school. I took the bus straight to Aunt Dolly’s house. She had an answer for 32 , more than anyone else, she would understand that my world had been turned upside down by this terrible revelation(意外的发现).
Aunt Dolly 33 me cookies and milk.
“What will I do?” I sobbed. “If I don’t sing, God will think I don’t love him.”
She drummed her fingers on the kitchen table as her brow creased(皱) in thought. Finally her eyes grew 34 . “I’ve got it!” she said. “I will wear my hat!”
Noticing that I felt very puzzled. She leveled her brown eyes on my face. Her 35 dropped. “Jacquelyn, I’m about to tell you a bit of secret information about angels, but first you must promise t hat you will never tell anyone.”
“I promise,” I whispered.
“A simple piece of aluminum foil(铝箔)can work,” said she, “You mouth the words, your silent 36 reflect off the foil. Angels capture(捕获) the words and put them in special pouches（袋子）they 37 up to God and God will hear your beautiful voice.”

The most important thing is to carry a camera around with you at all times. Use manual（手动的）settings as much as possible. Now that everything is digital, I’d also say, “Shoot as much as possible,” because it does n’t cost anything.

You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.
But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us.
Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff (悬崖).
In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities.
Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary（可怕的）books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.
Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.
Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances (化学物质), especially endorphins (内啡肽) and dopamine (多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.
In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.
“Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit.
People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.
Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident.
“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you’re better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.
So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.
52. What is the passage mainly about?
A. People’s misunderstandings about fear.
B. Different ways to deal with fear.
C. The benefits fear brings us.
D. A new study about fear.
53. Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the passage?
A. It improves people’s ability to survive in the modern world.
B. It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.
C. It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.
D. It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.
54. The underlined part “bond with” in Paragraph 8 probably means ______.
A. get closer to
B. fight against
C. pay attention to
D. be more careful with
55. What is the right attitude toward fear according to the passage?
A. Avoid being involved in scary situations.
B. Experience it as often as possible.
C. Consider it as a sign of weakness.
D. Enjoy healthy fear occasionally.

One Sunday morning, I decided to buy a computer to use for school. I went to the biggest store in town, which sold all kinds of computers. There were so many computers there that I didn’t know how to choose a right one.

Jack Johnson is one of the most popular singer-song
writers in the world. He was born on May 18, 1975 in Hawaii,
America. Being the son of a famous surfer, Jack naturally has
an interest in surfing. Most of his life lessons were learned in
the water. At the age of 17, Jack entered the finals(决赛) of
the Pineline Masters — the world ’s most famous surfing
competition. Everyone thought Jack would become a
professional surfer like his father. Unluckily, one month later, he had a deadly accident while surfing ，and was seriously hurt.
Life is like a revolving （旋转的） door. When it closes, it also opens. Jack started to practice playing the guitar and writing songs when he was staying in hospital. At first, his father thought Jack only did it for fun, but soon he was surprised at the great progress his son had made.
When studying in the university, Jack didn ’t stop practicing his guitar skills. He
played the guitar for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends. They liked his songs. His first music album(唱片集) Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001. It was a great success. His second album, On and On, was much like his first one. They were filled with sweet, easy-going songs that everybody liked listening to. Later Jack had lots of concerts in and out of America. He became popular all over the world.
Jack had five albums by 2010 and more than 15 million CDs of them were sold. His music doesn’t fit into any of the popular music styles like pop, R&B or hip-hop. It is more like folk music, which is played with a guitar and beautiful voice. When listening to his songs, you feel like lying on the beach enjoying the warm sunshine.
Jack is a talent, though he himself says he is only a surfer who loves music. In his songs we can find his secret of success: Whatever happens in our lives, we have to accept it and do the best we can.

My special friend
I have a special friend. Her English name is Amy. And I want to thank her for what she has done for me.
When I was in Grade 7, we studied in the same class. At first, I was not good at English. Because of that, I was very sad. Amy did well in English at that time. So she often helped me with my English in our spare time. With her help, my English improved so much that I kept up with my class finally. I was very glad that I could not only speak English to my classmates and teacher fluently but also understand everything they said!
This is my special friend, Amy, someone who would not only have fun with me but also help me when I need it. I am glad to have this special friend.
