In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner —a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed （包装的）lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few
sandwiches I make of them.”
But hoe healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy (起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews and curries for the children instead.
So Janie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, “we used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”

Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold?
Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when
two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy.
The faster you rub two things together, the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
·Soap ·Water ·Your hands!
WHAT TO DO:
1.Make sure your hands are dirty.
2.Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.
3.Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery (滑的).
4.Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.
5.Please write down what has happened.
LET’S TALK!
Friction is an energy that happens when two things tub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.
DID YOU KNOW?
1.Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.
2.Ancient people made fires by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction
happened though they didn’t know it.
___ __?_________
Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not hot, touch the tires (轮胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．
Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I wasdaydreaming at school one morn ing when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Daywriting competition for the whole sch001．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”
When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0，I
wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father?Hmm．
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I
was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall!My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．
The third prize was announced and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)anddisappointed at the same time．The second prize wasannounced．It was me．
1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were runningdown my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this
is the proudest moment of my life．’’
It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend
wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different
school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．but how do you make them?Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember,there’s always room for more friends．。．
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play
with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or
say “Do you want to sit here?”in the lunchroom．Whenyou’re at bre ak，walk over to kids you want to play with．act friendly，and say“Hi，can l play,too?”or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy,ask your teacher to help you make
new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—andpretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other,you can share something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

In the past．many people used horses for traveling，farming and other kinds of work．A lot of people still like to ride horses．And horse racing is also popular．So it is not surprising that Americans use this animal when they talk．
Long ago，rich or important people rode horses which were very tall．Today,if a girl
acts like she is better than everyone else，you might say she should get off her high horse．Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground．But I had to finish
my work, so I said．“Hold your horses．Wait until I finish what I am doing.”My two boys
like to compete against each other and play in a noisy and not very careful way．I always tell them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt．‘
Last night，I got a telephone call while I Was watching my favourite TV show．I decided
not to answer it because wild horses could not drag(拖，拽)me away from the television．There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do．
Sometimes you get information straight from the horse’s mouth．Let us say yourteacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow．You could sayyou got the information straight from the horse’s mouth．
You can lead a horse to water,but you cannot make him drink．That means you can
give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do．

四、阅读理解（20小题，每小题2分，共40分）
阅读下面四篇语言材料，然后按文后要求做题。
A
When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I wailed and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot ifyou let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do no."
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mm-k enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

Everyone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping positio n shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
I f you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You no rmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
Ifyou sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
Ifyou sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

You know you have to read "between the lines" to get the most out of anything. I want
to tell you something important during your reading.
You shouldn’t mark a book which isn’t yours. 61 If you think it useful to mark books, you will have to buy them.
There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is to get the right by paying
for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But full ownership comes only when you
have made it a part of yourself. 62
There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the best sellers -- unread anduntouched. The second has a great many books. 63 The third has a few dog-eared (翻折的) books, which are marked from front to back.
Why is marking a book necessary? First, it keeps you awake. In the second place, reading is thinking. 64 The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the writer expressed.
If reading is to learn anything more than passing time, it must be active. The book you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation, and nothing is lost. But for a great book, rich in ideas, reading must be active. 65 You should come up with an understanding of what you have read.
