I hid the long black bag in the garage(车库)two days ago.Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I felt a little nervous because I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to go to bed. It was partly true. But I wanted to leave early because I would finish my plan.First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was not easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I read very slowly so that they would not learn my secret.I went out of the house and into the garage quietly. Taking one end, I pulled the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.It was already eleven o'clock. I started working, trying to. make as little noise as possible.And that was not easy with a saw(锯子)and a hammer(锤子).After much hard work, I finally finished my work. I looked down at my watch. It was 4:00 a. m. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep.

Germans (德国人)don't have a good habit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts(专家)studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people feel that they move along faster if they are good at forming (排成)queues. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden(瑞典)people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend about seven minutes. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.The research expert asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do go before me. "People smiled and said. "Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much. "It was also found in France, where 80% of the people didn't mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry. The expert said, "If they can learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as a kind of exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they may find that the queue then moves faster."1. The research shows that the people in _____are the most polite in standing in line.A. SwedenB. BritainC. FranceD. Germany2. The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they____________.A. always talk a lot with othersB. like waiting in lineC. don't follow the rule of queuingD. don't know the rule of queuing3. According to the research, which of the following is TRUE?A. The British didn't care about(在意)the queue jumper(插队者).B. The Germans were angry with the queue jumper.C. The French treated the queue jumper badly.D. People in Sweden enjoyed themselves while queuing.4. From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could ____________.A. have a good habit of standing in lineB. save others' time while queuingC. move quickly when queuingD. take exercise in queues5. The result of the research shows that_____________________.A. people in Europe hate waiting in lineB. standing in line is a kind of exerciseC. there are always queue jumpers all over the worldD. people who are good at standing in line think they move along faster(六)Modesty(谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, this is no different. However, the phrase “毛遂自荐” seems to disagree with this.During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched on Handan. Seeing that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan looked for help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered. Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, “How long have you been here with me?”“Three years,” Mao Sui answered.“I hear that a person with talent is like an awl in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce through the bag. You’ve been here for a long time, but l haven’t seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don’t have any talent.” said Prince Pingyuan.“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point-the whole awl,” Mao Sui said confidently.Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao proved very helpful. Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance(傲慢). It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego(自负) can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.1.What is an awl like?A. It has much talent.B. It has a sharp point.C.It looks like Maosui.D. I t looks like a cloth bag.2. What does the phrase “毛遂自荐” mean in this passage?A. Showing modesty.B. Feeling unconfident.C.Being honest enough.D. Volunteering for a task.3. The underl ine words “do that” in Paragraph 5 refers to____________.A. put an awl into a bagB. put Mao Sui into a bagC. let Mao Sui join the teamD. let Mao Sui leave Prince Pingyuan4. What can we learn from the passage?A. Modesty isn’t a valuable quality.B. Mao Sui was a modest person.C. Prince Pingyuan didn’t like Mao Sui.D. We should believe in ourselves.(七)One evening, Mrs. Barry took Diana and Anne to their school’s concert to celebrate Diana’s birthday. She also allowed Ann e to stay over.It was eleven when they got home. The house was dark and silent. The girls ran to the spare room and raced to see who could reach the bed first.

She knocked on the door of the sitting room.“ Come in!” said a voice,“ Who are you?” Miss Barry cried.“ I’m Anne of Green Gables and I’ve come to the truth.”“ That it was all my fault jumping into bed on you last night. We were only having fun. If you are going to be angry, be angry with me and not Diana. I’m used to it. ”Miss Barry laughed. “ I’m afraid it has been a long time since I used my imagination. Sit down here an d tell me about yourself.”“I’m very sorry I can’t,” said Anne firmly. “I would like to, because you seem like an interesting lady, but I must go home to Miss Marilla Cutbert. I hope you will stay longer in Avonlea.”“ I think perhaps I will if you will come over and talk to me sometimes,” said Barry.That evening, Miss Barry decided to stay, just so that she could meet again with Anne.Miss Barry stayed for more than a month. She and Anne soon became good friends. When Miss Barry went away, she asked Anne to visit her and told Anne, “when you come to town and visit, you can stay in my very best spare room.” ---from Anne of Green Gables1.Who was sleeping in the spare room?A.

So they were unable to be sure if the plastic caused its death,said Lukas, the leader of the World Wildlife Fund in Indonesia. The plastic weighed about 6 kilograms, or 13 pounds, he said.But pictures of the dead whale caused a warm discussion. The people in the country have started to realize that it is because of using too much plastic. So has the go vernment. Indonesia, a nation of about 260 million people was the world’s second-biggest producer of plastic waste in 2018, behind only China.If the whales eat too much plastic, they will have a wrong feeling. They think that they are full. And that will lead them to eat less food that provides all the good things they need, said Nicholas who is the leader of the Ocean Conservancy. Moreover, eating too much plastic can make them reduce their weight, their energy and slow down their swimming.

At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the country. I didn’t know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!My journey began with attending TESOL certification course in my home state of New York last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours’ study online, I received my TESOL certificate.I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn’t wait to explore the country!After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand’s cities! After that, I attended the week-long training. At the end of the training, I was sent to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It’s a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else’s life, right in front of you!Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I’ve ever met—I’ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so friendly to say “Hello” and “Good morning”. I’ve been taken out to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar,a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay them in the future.1.Where do “I” come from?A. Thailand.B. America.C. England.D. China.2. What did the writer do right away after arriving in Thailand?A. He travelled around Thailand by himself.B. He had a discussion with Philip.C. He attended a seminar in Bangkok.D. He met with other volunteers.3. In the last paragraph the writer is trying to show .A. that Buriram is small but very beautifulB. that the Thai treats are fresh and deliciousC. how generous and friendly the Thai people areD. how he wants to repay the people who helped him4. The writer wrote this passage in order to .A. give some advice to future volunteersB. encourage more people to travel in ThailandC. show the readers how to become a volunteerD. tell us his voluntary experience in Thailand(十)What is the most stressful(紧张的) thing in school? It is probably exams. Exams can put us under a lot of pressure（压力）. But some students do better under pressure, while others do not. So, why do some students do better under pressure?It all comes down to dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a chemical(化学物) in our body that sends signals (信号) in the brain. It is very important—it can affect（影响）memory, attention and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is a balance （平衡）of dopamine--not too much or too little.Our brains control dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly or gradually (逐渐地). Exam success can be decided by how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance, according to new research(研究) from the University of Missouri, reported Yahoo.What happens when we take an exam? If you become very stressed, your brain will start to overload on dopamine. It is like a cup overflowing with water. The quicker you are able to go back to an even balance of dopamine, the quicker you can concentrate（集中精力）, helping you do better in a test.Scientists found that, during a test, people who slowly got back to an even balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower. That’s the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.But don’t be afraid, there is good news for every student. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you’ll be. So, it is true that practice does make perfect.1. Dopamine is a chemical in our body that______ .A. puts us under a lot of pressureB. sends signals in the brainC. keeps our brain workingD. we need a lot2. What will dopamine cause us to do?① to remember something① to have a good rest① to pay attention to the teachers① to choose the way we learnA. ①①①B. ①①①C. ①①①D. ①①①3.What does the underlined word “overload” mean in Chinese?A. 产生B. 下载C. 超载D. 出现4. Some students do better under stress because______.A. they have a lot of dopamineB. they can go back to a good balance of dopamine quicklyC. they go back to a balance of dopamine slowlyD. they have less dopamine in their bodies5. What can’t we learn from the passage?A. Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals in the brain.B. Our brain either takes out dopamine quickly or gradually.C. The more quickly you go back to a balance of dopamine, the better you can do in a test.D. Practice cannot help you do better under stress.(十一)Recently, I overheard(偶尔听到) a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter prepared to leave.They hugged and the mother said: “I love you and I wish you enough.” They kissed and the daughter left.The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she was going to cry. I tried not to disturb her but she welcomed me by asking: “Have you ever said goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?”“Yes,” I replied. “Forgive（原谅）me for asking but why is this the final goodbye?”“I am ill and she lives so far away. The reality（现实）is the next trip back will be for my funeral(葬礼)” she said.“When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”“That’s a wish that has been handed down from past generations(一代人). My parents used to say it to everyone.” She paused for a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.“When we say ‘I wish you enough’, we want the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to be with them”. Then turning to me, she shared the following:“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude（态度）bright.I wish you enough rain to appreciate（感激）the sun more.”1. Where did this story happen?A.

The French are the best. Germans (德国人)don't have a good habit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts(专家)studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people feel that they move along faster if they are good at forming (排成)queues. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a halfminutes. In Germany or Sweden(瑞典)people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend about seven minutes. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.The research expert asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do go before me. "People smiled and said. "Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much. "It was also found in France, where 80% of the people didn't mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry. The expert said, "If they can learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as a kind of exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they may find that the queue then moves faster."1. The research shows that the people in _____are the most polite in standing in line.A. SwedenB. BritainC. FranceD. Germany2. The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they____________.A. always talk a lot with othersB. like waiting in lineC. don't follow the rule of queuingD. don't know the rule of queuing3. According to the research, which of the following is TRUE?A. The British didn't care about(在意)the queue jumper(插队者).B. The Germans were angry with the queue jumper.C. The French treated the queue jumper badly.D. People in Sweden enjoyed themselves while queuing.4. From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could ____________.A. have a good habit of standing in lineB. save others' time while queuingC. move quickly when queuingD. take exercise in queues5. The result of the research shows that_____________________.A. people in Europe hate waiting in lineB. standing in line is a kind of exerciseC. there are always queue jumpers all over the worldD. people who are good at standing in line think they move along faster(B)Modesty(谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, this is no different. However, the phrase “毛遂自荐” seems to disagree with this.During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched on Handan. Seeing that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan looked for help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered. Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, “How long have you been here with me?”“Three years,” Mao Sui answere d.“I hear that a person with talent is like an awl in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce through the bag. You’ve been here for a long time, but l haven’t seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don’t have any talent.” said Prince Pingyuan.“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point-the whole awl,” Mao Sui said confidently.Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao proved very helpful. Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance(傲慢). It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego(自负) can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.1.What is an awl like?A. It has much talent.B. It has a sharp point.C.It looks like Maosui.D. I t looks like a cloth bag.2. What does the phrase “毛遂自荐” mean in this passage?A. Showing modesty.B. Feeling unconfident.C.Being honest enough.D. Volunteering for a task.3. The underline words “do that” in Paragraph 5 refers to____________.A. put an awl into a bagB. put Mao Sui into a bagC. let Mao Sui join the teamD. let Mao Sui leave Prince Pingyuan4. What can we learn from the passage?A. Modesty isn’t a valuable quality.B. Mao Sui was a modest person.C. Prince Pingyuan didn’t like Mao Sui.D. We should believe in ourselves.(C)One evening, Mrs. Barry took Diana and Anne to their school’s concert to celebrate Diana’s birthday.

In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about water and air pollution on the earth, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour waste into lakes and seas, drive more and more cars, and cut down trees.By the year 2200, the earth’s water was completely polluted. People could nolonger drink water. Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth, But not enough action was taken.So by the year 2300, there were so many people that there was a short of (缺乏) food. All of the fish in lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrible wars (战争) broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet (行星) in space that humans could live on.By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe (呼吸). So humans had to leave the earth. But where could they go? Nowhere. Scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel in the universe (字宙) in our spaceships.So it is up to you to make a difference. There is still hope. You must change yourO.
