Have you ever heard of the proverb(格言) “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise?” It was written by Benjamin Franklin. Another famous proverb is “ A penny saved is a penny earned”, whi ch means money should not be wasted. People like to use proverbs because they usually have deep meanings. Here is an interesting collection of proverbs about love.
Some people say “Absence makes the heart grow fonder(多情的)”. Th at means you love someone even more when he or she is far away.
Another proverb says “love is blind”. In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about the person.
Here is another popular saying about love: “The way to a man’s heart is thro ugh his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a man’s love if she cooks his favorite foods. Some people only want to love someone who is very good-looking. You might tell them that “Beauty is only skin deep.” What a person looks like is not re ally important.
All in all, those proverbs are quite interesting sometimes. If you try to memorize some of them in your English study, you may find a lot of fun when talking in English. So, please have a try. “Action speaks louder than words.”
49. “A penny saved is a penny earned” means you should ________.
A. make more money
B. find a job
C. save money
D. work harder
50. The proverb “_________” is almost the same as the one “Never judge(判断)a person by his look”？
A. Love is blind
B. Absence makes the heart grow fonder
C. Beauty is only skin deep
D. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach
51. How many proverbs are there in this passage talking about love?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
B
What will you do if you are in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to attract the attention of a passing plane.
Body language
Pilots(飞行员) from different countries understand body languages if they have the correct training. When you put your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, “yes”. When you point down and swing (摇摆) your arm from side to side, it means “no”. If you want the pilot
to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯下) your knees. If you want to say that it’s not sa fe to land, put your arms up in the air and move them to one side.
Start a fire
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to attract attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they lose control. Never light a tire unless you’re sure that it can’t spr ead. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground- to- air marks
It’s a good idea lo make some marks, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the marks. If you can’t find any wood, u se earth. Some useful marks are:
F : “I need food and water”
II: “I need medicine.”
I: “I am badly hurt.”
X: “I can’t move from here”
So next time, if you meet this problem and can’t get away from the island, try the advice above.
52. Which of the following means “It’s not safe to land”?
53. If you are hungry and thirsty, you should draw_________ on the ground.
A. F
B.II
C. I
D. X
54. From the passage, we can learn that ___________.
A. Putting up and down your arms in a straight line means “No”
B. You should start a fire when you are sure it will spread
C. It’s a good idea to use flowers and grass to make marks on the ground
D. Your body language, smoke and ground marks are helpful to save you out
55. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. ways of living on a lonely island
B. ways of asking for help on a lonely island
C. body languages on an island
D. the importance of making marks on an island
C
News Review
Learn to swim. Do you want to study in Tsinghua(清华) University? If your answer is yes, you need to be able to swim or get prepared to learn to swim from now on. Recently, the university has made a new rule that students must pass the 50-meter swimming test to finish school. This rule has been brought into a broad discussion. Some agree with it because it can help students do more sports, but others disagree. They believe that it doesn’t respect their personal wishes. It shouldn’t be a must for graduation. What’s your opinion?
______________________“T homas Edison was an great inventor in the
US. When he was seven, her mother caught a serious illness so she
had to receive an operation（手术）in time. However, the room was too dark. So Edison brought a mirror and an oil lamp to light the room. How smart he was.” This story comes from the Chinese textbook for Grade-two students in the primary school. But recently, many people believe it was not true because the first operation about that illness in the world took place in 1886. Edison reached seven years old in 1854. Some people wonder why the story appears in the textbook. Maybe that’s be cause the editor(编辑) cares too much about the educational meaning without checking whether it was true or not.

Also, a survey made by Voxburner says that 60% of 16-to-24-year-olds prefer paper books. The most popular reasons given were, “ I love the feeling of holding the books and the smell of the paper, and I won’t end up with headache and sore eyes.

It was Sunday. Henry did some shopping and then went to the car park. He was about to start the car when a robber(强盗) stood up from the back seat. He held a knife to Henry's head. “Give me your money and drive me to North Street.” he shouted.
“All right,” Henry answered. Then he started the car and drove away. Being 72 years old, he knew he could not fight the young robber. He knew he needed help. Where were the police? As he drove towards each crossing, he looked up and down the side streets, and hoped that he could meet a police car. But he could see none. “Just my luck,” he thought. “If I was driving too fast, there would be a police car on every corner.”
So he pushed his foot down on the accelerator(油门), and the car ran much faster. “What are you doing?” shouted the robber. “Keeping off the police,” Henry answered. “I thought I saw a police car back there.”
He ran red lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets. On two-way streets he drove on th e wrong side of the road. Not one policeman saw him. Again Henry’s plan was not working. He had to try a new plan.
He turned a corner and saw the police station in front. Then he drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate. The car hit a police motorbike down and stopped. Henry shouted, “Help! Help!”and he tried to catch the knife which was in the robber’s hand. At that moment, the policemen heard the shouts and came out of the police station.
