Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的）communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.(1)、The home matters greatly to Englishmen.A：T B：F(2)、The British can own private space like the house and the garden.A：T B：F(3)、According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means you want to tell others the space belongs to you.A：T B：F(4)、The man opposite to the writer showed that he owned the whole table by reading a book.A：T B：F(5)、The writer tried to get back his space by moving the case off the table.A：T B：F2、In the water around New Y ork city is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.As you might expect, the statue is very big. V isitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue.

An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on-but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics.

Nearly two-thirds of the top 1000 companies in the world have a telecommuting program，and 92 percent say it reduces cost and improves worker productivity(生产力) .The days of everyone commuting to the office five days a week are quickly disappearing.Telecommuting involves a non-traditional work arrangement enabling workers to work at home or elsewhere，some or all of the time. This is not a new，novel，or untested way of working.But is it for you? Telecommuting is not a panacea(万能药) .Whether you are a manager，or an HR(Human Resources) specialist，there are decisions to make and actions to take before you begin a telecommuting arrangement.Join us for any or all of the following meetings to get answers，information，and resources to develop and carry out a successful telecommuting arrangement. Each meeting offers you an informative presentation followed by the opportunity for a discussion with a panel of “experts” who have made telecommuting work for them.11. How do people look at telecommuting according to the first paragraph?A) They are against it.B) They don’t care about it.C) They share the same view.D) They differ in their opinions.12.Accordingtothe response of most of the top 1000 companies,telecommuting_________.A) increases worker productivityB) will disappear in the near futureC) cannot be accepted by the publicD) is practiced in all the top companies13. Which of the following statements is TRUE of telecommuting?A) It is up to the employees to accept it or not.B) It is getting popular in different companies.C) It is a new untested way of working.D) It is a traditional work arrangement.14. Before beginning a telecommuting arrangement，the management should______.A) appoint a new HR specialistB) provide the facilities and conditionsC) improve the company’s productivity firstD) decide whether it is suitable for the company15. According to the last paragraph，meetings are held to___________.A) appreciate the efforts of the telecommuting companiesB) discuss the employment of telecommuting expertsC) help introduce the practice of telecommutingD) train people beforePassage 2In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly , and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago--so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.16. According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children _____.A. sensible and sensitiveB. competitive and interestedC. curious and friendlyD. happy and co-operative17. Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think _____.A. children are reluctant to help each otherB. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operationC. children should grow up with competitive ideasD. schools give little actual instruction to children18. The author’s attitude towards American education can be best described as _____.A. favorableB. negativeC. tolerantD. unfriendly19. The American educational system emphasizes _____.A. material wealthB. competitionC. co-operationD. personal benefit20. The word “sociable” (Line 7, Paragraph2) most probably means _____.A. fond of talking freelyB. friendly with other peopleC. concerned about social welfareD. happy at schoolPassage 3Li Qiu is a boy of fifteen and studying in Grade Three at Oak school. His family lives outside the town. His parents have a farm and grow a lot of vegetables on it and they often sell them in the town. These years they've built a new building and bought a tractor, a motorbike，a color television，a fridge and other things.Two years ago，Li Qiu began to study in a middle school.

She was surprised and asked，“What are you doing here，Li Qiu?”“I took apart the TV just now.”“Don't worry about it，Mummy,” said the boy “I only want to know how it works.”“Have you refixed it together?” asked Mum.“No，Mum，” the boy said in a hurry. “Look，there are some parts left.

Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large "hot air balloon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.(1)、Leonardo Da Vinci made designs for flying machines. AA：TB：F(2)、Eight hundred years ago an Englishman made a kind of flying machine. BA：TB：F(3)、In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly lost his life. AA：TB：F(4)、The very first air passengers in the balloon were two Frenchmen. BA：TB：F(5)、The two Frenchmen rose above Paris in November 1783. AA：TB：F2. In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London. His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本）for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本）and working as an assistant director.For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often a rough-and-ready（匆忙做成的）affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story－not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）. This led to his success later.When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension（紧张感）. He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense（悬念）movies.(1)、Alfred Hitchcock's first job at the studio was writing captions for silent movies.

"Could you help me in the library?" she asked. I said, "Send him along."Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. "Do you have a job for me?" he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, "Is it a kind of a detective （侦探）job?" I answered yes, and then began his work.He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, "Time for rest!" he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.The next morning, he arrived early, "I want to finish these books," he said.

"Who will find the lost books?" he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye.

Some of the greatest men in history had thought about theproblem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large "hot air balloon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.(1)、Leonardo Da Vinci made designs for flying machines. AA：TB：F(2)、Eight hundred years ago an Englishman made a kind of flying machine. BA：TB：F(3)、In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly lost his life. AA：TB：F(4)、The very first air passengers in the balloon were two Frenchmen. BA：TB：F(5)、The two Frenchmen rose above Paris in November 1783. AA：TB：F2. "You're trying to control my life," says my nine-year-old son. "I don't know why you think youcan do that, but you can't." I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says, "You let him have his way from the beginning."It's true. I have always asked Gabriele's opinion, found out how he felt about things - treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I'm not alone; it's a complaint heard among parents across the country.It's not just that we're confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised - to try something more liberal than our parents' "do it because I say so" approach - our generation has gone too far. "Today's parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children," says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator."When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other," says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. "We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it's about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences."Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. "By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly," he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids.Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn't believe the dramas that played out in the children's shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn't want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting up and throwing shoes around.Rhonda Radice, Munday's younger colleague, is one parent who has bucked the trend - and is proud of it. "I don't negotiate with them. You can't. I've seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn't have to buy love and respect."(6)、The author's way of treating her son _________A___.A：is shared by many parentsB：is encouraged by her motherC：proves to be quite successfulD：shows little concern for the child(7)、It can be inferred from the passage that ________C__.A：parents should learn to make friends with their childrenB：parents need to follow the advice of parenting booksC：today's children enjoy more freedom than the previous generationD：today's parents are better at raising children than previous generation(8)、According to the passage, to have "discipline" means that parents should __________B_.A：adopt the "do it because I say so"approachB：teach their children to understand the rulesC：negotiate with their children for a decisionD：never allow their children to have their ways(9)、If Ronda Radice is the parent who has "bucked the trend", which of the following can also be cited as the example for"bucking the trend"? DA：Parents buy whatever their children want.B：Parents treat their children as their equals.C：Parents make decisions for their children.D：Parents maintain authority over their children.(10)、The main point of the passage is to __________.BA：compare different ways of raising childrenB：analyze the problems faced by today's parentsC：explain the importance of understanding childrenD：point out the mistakes made by the older generation3、One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me.

Nearlytwo-thirds of the top 1000 companies in the world have a telecommuting program，and 92 percent say it reduces cost and improves worker productivity(生产力) .The days of everyone commuting tothe office five days a week are quickly disappearing.Telecommuting involves a non-traditional work arrangement enabling workers to work at homeor elsewhere ， some or all of the time.

At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly , and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. Theold authoritarian ( 要绝对服从的 ) methods of education were discredited ( 不被认可 ) rather a long time ago--so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings ina society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation ratherthan competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sensehas come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.16.According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children _____.A. sensible and sensitiveB. competitive and interestedC. curious and friendlyD. happy and co-operative17.Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think _____.A. children are reluctant to help each otherB. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operationC. children should grow up with competitive ideasD. schools give little actual instruction to children18.

At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly , and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago--so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seemcurious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.16. According to the passage, the . elementary education is supposed to make children __D___.A. sensible and sensitiveB. competitive and interestedC. curious and friendlyD. happy and co-operative17.

The American educational system emphasizes ___C__.A. material wealthB. competitionC. co-operationD. personal benefit20. The word “sociable” (Line 7, Paragraph2) most probably means ___B__.A. fond of talking freelyB. friendly with other peopleC. concerned about social welfareD. happy at schoolPassage 3Li Qiu is a boy of fifteen and studying in Grade Three at Oak school.

Everyone knows that laziness is not good. We have probably all had lectures telling that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may not trust their fellow workers and they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or for fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure that prevents successful work. Some people are so busy planning great deals that they are unable to deal with "easier" work on hand. Still others are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are simply putting off their work.aziness, however, can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are really thinking, planning and researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoveries happened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" build the car we buy, particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy" — that is, taking time off for a rest—is good for the overworked students or executives. Taking a rest can be particularlyhelpful to the sportsman who is trying too hard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings in the hospital. So be careful when you want to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next work.（10 分）B (1). The main idea of this passage is that ________ .（2 分）A. laziness is a bad habit that everyone wants to get rid ofB. there are disadvantages and advantages in being lazyC. laziness is the sign of very serious emotional problemsD. lazy people usually do their work more carefullyD(2). Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?（2 分）A. Laziness is a kind of mental disease.B. Laziness is more beneficial than harmful.C. Laziness cannot be explained.D. Laziness is sometimes due to a fear of failure.C(3). Which of the following ideas does the passage support?（2 分）A. Most of the time laziness is a good quality.B. Most assembly workers are lazy.C. The word "laziness" is sometimes misused.D. Most overworked people are lazy.A(4). The author's attitude towards laziness is ________________.（2 分）A. objectiveB. subjectiveC. criticalD. humorousC(5). As used in this passage, the word "devised" ( in Paragraph 2 ) probably means _________ .（2 分）A. understoodB. wroteC. createdD. proved13. Coco Chanel, a French woman, is very famous for her success in the fashion world. The life of Coco Chanel is a classic rags-to-riches story. Born in 1883, she was abandoned by her father after her mother died. She was raised by her aunts who taught her to sew and gave her the nickname Coco, which means "little pet".Starting out as a hat designer, Coco went against the fancy hats being worn at the time. "How can a brain function under those things," she wondered. Instead, she created simple, but beautiful designs which became popular with fashionable young women of Paris.Strangely enough, World War I gave her the chance to develop her idea of simple elegance from hats to clothing. Due to the shortage of material during the war, she took the opportunity to show that less can truly be more, introducing turtle-neck（叠领）sweater and pants for women.In 1923, Coco launched her line of perfumes. "A woman who does not wear perfume has no future!" she said, and women believed her. Since its first appearance, Chanel No. 5 has been the world's most popular perfume, with another bottle being sold every 30 seconds. And Coco herself inspired generations of women designers and businesswomen to pursue their dreams.（10 分）D(1). The world famous brand "Chanel" is named after ________ .（2 分）A. a little animalB. a hat companyC. the nickname of a French womanD. the surname of a French girlB(2).

There have been snowflakes of almost every color. Think how it would seem to have colored snowflakes coming down all around you.Black snow fell in France one year. Another year grey snow fell in Japan. It was found that the snow was mixed with ashes. This made it look dark. Red snow had come down in other countries. When this happened, the snow was mixed with red dust.Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice. Snow is ice that comes from snow cloud. Each snowflake begins with a small drop of frozen water. More water forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflakes its shape.No two snowflakes are ever just the same size or shape. Sometimes the snowflakes are broken when they come down. Other snowflakes melt as they fall. All snowflakes are flat and have six sides, if they are not broken or melted. When the air is cold and dry, the falling snowflakes are small and hard. If the air wet and warm, the snowflakes are big and soft.Would you be surprised to see snowflakes as big as your head falling from the sky? It happened once in the United States.

When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non - violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White.

While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to affordforeign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.(1)、From Para. 1, we know that in America ____A_____.A：people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB：people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC：college professors win great respect from common workersD：people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors(2)、According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because ____B_____.

Nearly two-thirds of the top 1000 companies in the world have a telecommuting program，and 92 percent say it reduces cost and improves worker productivity(生产力) .The days of everyone commuting to the office five days a week are quickly disappearing.Telecommuting involves a non-traditional work arrangement enabling workers to work at home or elsewhere，some or all of the time. This is not a new，novel，or untested way of working.But is it for you? Telecommuting is not a panacea(万能药) .Whether you are a manager，or an HR(Human Resources) specialist，there are decisions to make and actions to take before you begin a telecommuting arrangement.Join us for any or all of the following meetings to get answers，information，and resources to develop and carry out a successful telecommuting arrangement. Each meeting offers you an informative presentation followed by the opportunity for a discussion with a panel of “experts” who have made telecommuting work for them.11. How do people look at telecommuting according to the first paragraph?A) They are against it.B) They don’t care about it.C) They share the same view.D) They differ in their opinions.12.Accordingtothe response of most of the top 1000 companies,telecommuting_________.A) increases worker productivityB) will disappear in the near futureC) cannot be accepted by the publicD) is practiced in all the top companies13.

At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly , and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago--so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.16. According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children _____.A. sensible and sensitiveB. competitive and interestedC. curious and friendlyD. happy and co-operative17.

The author’s attitude towards American education can be best described as _____.A. favorableB. negativeC. tolerantD. unfriendly19. The American educational system emphasizes _____.A. material wealthB. competitionC. co-operationD. personal benefit20. The word “sociable” (Line 7, Paragraph2) most probably m eans _____.A. fond of talking freelyB. friendly with other peopleC. concerned about social welfareD. happy at schoolPassage 3Li Qiu is a boy of fifteen and studying in Grade Three at Oak school. His family lives outside the town. His parents have a farm and grow a lot of vegetables on it and they often sell them in the town. These years they've built a new building and bought a tractor, a motorbike，a color television，a fridge and other things.Two years ago，Li Qiu began to study in a middle school.
