“Class，this is David Evans,” Mrs. Parmele introduced him to us,
trying to give him a warm welcome. We saw a boy in old clothes and
shoes. David looked around and smiled, hoping somebody would
31 back. Nobody did. He kept on smiling anyway.
I held my breath, hoping Mrs. Parmele wouldn’t notice the empty
32 next to mine. She did, and pointed him in that direction. He
looked over at me as he sat down, but I looked away.
By the end of his first week, David was at the bottom of our
school’s social ladder. “It’s his own fault,”I told my mother one evening at dinner. “He 33 even knows how to count.”
As I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, however, I realized that David was very pleasant to be around. After lunch, I 34 that I would be David’s friend.
One night, as Mother tucked me into bed, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is David’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything. Nobody even cares.”
“Don’t worry,”Mom said as she kissed me goodnight. “I’m sure everything will be 35 .”
At breakfast the next morning, I said I wasn’t feeling well.
“How would you like it if your only friend didn’t show up on your birthday?”Mother asked gently. I thought it over for a moment and then kissed her goodbye.
I wished David a happy birthday first thing in the morning, and his embarrassed smile showed me that he was glad I had36 .
By mid-afternoon I had almost decided that birthdays weren’t that 37 . Then, as Mrs. Parmele was writing on the blackboard, I heard a familiar voice singing the birthday song.
Moments later, Mother came through the door with a tray(托盘) of cupcakes. She was also taking a 38 in her hand.
Mrs. Parmele joined in. Mother found David looking like a deer in car headlights. She put the cupcakes and the gift on his desk and said, “Happy birthday, David.”
My friend kindly shared his cupcakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk. I caught Mother 39 me. She smiled and winked(使眼色).
David Evans moved on shortly thereafter, and I never heard from him again. But whenever I hear that familiar song, I remember the soft tones of my mother’s voice, the 40 in a boy’s eyes, and the taste of the sweetest cupcake.

“People have been traveling by car for 100 years. My invention is not done by the time expected. Who hasn’t had an emergency while traveling? Sometimes you’re miles from the nearest gas station or McDonald’s. Everyone knows that when you have to go, you have to go,” said Phil Bole.
Phil has invented a chemical toilet for cars. One size fits all cars and people. It is made from recycled materials. “It never smells bad,”he says. Between uses, it can be stored in the
trunk(后备箱). When the toilet is full, an adult or child can compress（挤压）it into the size of a bowling ball. The waste matter in the toilet is continuously being taken in by chemicals. All the waste matter even turns into a lot of dry crumbs. The toilet can be dropped into any trash can at any time.
Phil tested his invention while on a two-week vacation with his wife and four young kids. He said that the kids loved it. His wife didn’t.
“Nothing on earth could make me use that disgusting thing!” she told him. He said to her sincerely that he had invented the toilet mainly for women and kids. He needed a woman’s encouragement so the toilet would sell. “No women would ever use this thing!”she answered.
“My wife’s kind of a prude(拘守礼仪的人),”Phil said one day to Bret, his workmate. After much thought, Phil finally figure out how to make his wife love his invention: he made a pink toilet covered with yellow flowers. “What more could a woman want?” he asked while showing it to Bret. Bret said it was a beautiful and practical gift. And since his wife’s birthday was the following week, Bret ordered a toilet. “Your wife will remember this birthday forever!” Phil promised Bret.
44. Who invented a chemical toilet for cars?
A. Phil .
B. Bret.
C. Phil’s wife.
D. Bret’s wife.
45. What is the toilet made from?
A. Chemicals.
B. Recycled materials.
C. Waste matter.
D. Dry crumbs.
46. Where can the toilet be stored before it is used?
A. In the trash can.
B. In the trunk.
C. Under the seat.
D. In the traveling bag.
47. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Phil’s wife encouraged him to sell the toilet.
B. Phil’s four young kids refused to use the toilet.
C. Phil was sure that Bret’s wife would like the toilet.

48. Holding a bean bath competition, you would______.
A. ask yourselves many questions
For me, Facebook is about staying in touch with friends,
whether that means writing on someone’s‘wall’or sending
them a private message. It’s a useful website for finding long-lost
friends, arranging parties and sharing photos. But that’s not all:
Facebook is now being used by all kinds of people for all kinds of
reasons!
Do you want to play computer games? Log on to Facebook.
There are now thousands of entertaining games and puzzles to help you pass the time.
Do you want to find cafés, cinemas and bowling alleys in your area? Log on to Facebook pages that you can join and ‘like’, which makes it very easy to search for fun things to do near you. I think it’s brilliant to have all the information that you want on just one website!
People are now joining Facebook to make professional connections too, either with people who do the same kind of work, or with businesses that are looking for new people to work for them.
It’s a pretty good idea since so many people use Facebook these days, especially young people! Even students log on to Facebook to look for summer or part-time jobs.
And that’s not all! Now there are hundreds of pages about sports teams, TV
programmes and pop stars to look at on Facebook. However, I believe the main reason most young people use Facebook is because it’s so easy to let the world know what you think about different things or people, whether it’s about a new film at the cinema or whether you prefer Rihanna with long or short hair. You can even write comments directly on other people’s Facebook pages including some stars’ pages. But you have to be careful because giving your opinion online can be dangerous.
We mustn’t forget that Facebook is meant to be fun and shouldn’t be used for saying bad things about people around us. I recently read a news article about a student who had to leave school because she made rude and unfair comments about a teacher on her Facebook wall. Several other school students have been in trouble for similar comments and opinions. In fact, it really annoys me when I see somebody has written nasty things about another person!
It’s true that Facebook is becoming more and more part of our daily lives for many different reasons, and it can be really helpful as well as being a lot of fun. But, as with all websites, we must be careful about how we use it.
52. What does the writer think of the Facebook?
A. It is easy for finding a long-lost friend
B. It is dangerous for giving one’s opinion
C. It is mainly used for business reasons these days.
D. It is useful for finding entertainment information.
53. Why does the writer think young people like Facebook so much?
A. It’s a good place to read TV programmes reviews.
B. They can have conversations about their interests.
C. It’s the best place to find information about sports.
D. They like having the chance to give their opinions.
54. The underlined word “nasty”in Paragraph 6 probably means “______”.
A. critical
B. private
C. unpleasant
D. impolite
55. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The use of Facebook
B. The information on Facebook
C. The reasons of using Facebook
D. The suggestions for using Facebook

A new pet shop called Turtle Dove opened on First Street. It sold two kinds of animals.
56 , Bill and Bob. They moved here from the northern California, where they owned an ant farm store. That store was so successful that they sold it after four years and got a lot of money.
They took it easy for a few years. Traveling through the state. “We visited almost every zoo in the country, 57 , and partly because we were looking for support for our next business,” said Bill. They finally decided on turtles and doves(白鸽). “They’re easy to feed and care for, 58 .” said Bob.
The store will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. “We think those are hours that our customers will find very convenient. What’s more, the three days off gives us a chance to go into the woods and find more little animals. 59 , we always try to collect them from the wild. That way our customers can save more money. Of course, by
removing these animals from the nature, we protect them from being eaten by their nature enemies. So our customers are happy, our animals are happy, 60 . It’s a win-win for all of us.”
