But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and wasforced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer.

Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. E xperts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1.We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.A. had land of their ownB. paid to use hawthorn trees every yearC. used hedging fieldsD. often suffered from financial loss2.Which of the following is wise?A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quietB. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dryC. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shiningD. Gather hay as it is rainy3.If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines答案：CAD6My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better."Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."1. What does the grandfather think of the life now?A. It's as good as it used to beB. It's worse than it used to beC. It's better than it used to beD. It's the same as it used to be2. What does the underlined word "marriage" mean in Chinese?A. 生活B. 工作C. 婚姻D. 家庭3. What did the grandfather used to do?A. He used to use calculators in math classB. He used to drive to school in winterC. He used to go to school by bikeD. He used to walk five miles to school4. What changes have happened?①There are lights at home②People often eat home-cooked food now③Lots of families have computers④More and more people drive instead of walkingA. ①②④B. ②③④C. ①②③D. ①③④5.

Here’s what they tol d us.Getting Al ong and Having FunAbout two out of three kids said they get al ong very well with their parents. About four out of five told us they have fun with their parents. But that doesn’t mean they never disagree. In fact, most kinds reported arguing with their parents sometimes.“It’s common to disagree and argue.” says D’A rcy Lyness, a child psychol ogist (心理学家)”But it’s also important to learn how to do so respectfully” About half of the kids said they are d oing that when they disagree with their parents. They say they have a discussion calmly.But two out of five kids said arguments always involve shouting at each other.

Don’t use a raised angry voice.”Not surprisingly, three out of four kids admitted(承认) to lying at times. Many said they lie to avoid getting in troubl e or disappointing their parents. According to Lyness, lying isn’t just wrong. It an actually get bad results. Telling the truth builds trust. “When parents can trust you, they are more likely to give you more freed om.” She says.A Changing Relationship(关系)Kids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less cl ose, and not getting along as well with their parents.According to Lyness, those feelings are not uncommon As kids grow up they have more disagreeme nts or arguments with their parents But it d oesn’t have to be that way. “Kids andparents get al ong differently at different times of the journey of life” she says As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to adapt(适应). “There’s a dance of way s that you cat with others and get along,” she points out. “Then other’s a change, and it’s a different dance.” Change is normal, she stresses.Share this story with your family.

But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that peopl e coul d call for emergencies. They d ecided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.Other countries may us e other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. In China and Japan, it’s 110. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.When there is a need to call: 911, you’d better remember the foll owing tips.When to callNever call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you shoul d call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudd en sickness, etc.When in an emergency callWhen you dial the 911 operator(接线员), it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak sl owly and cl early when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?Don’t hang up(挂断)!If you have to call 911, d o not hang up until the operator t ells you it’s OK to d o so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner, Nancy, who was in a wheel chair fell and needed help.

Place a piece of raw carrot in your mouth and chew. Then, as you are still chewing, let go of your nose. Do you taste the difference?The sense of taste and the sense of smell work together as you eat The taste buds (味蕾）on your tongue have 4 nerve receptors(神经感受元）in them. They can respond to only four different tastes—sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All the other hundreds of tastes come from how foods smell to you.Foods give off invisible (无形的)fumes (烟，气）that breathe into your nasal, passages (鼻道）. The olfactory (嗅觉的）or smelling nerves (嗅感神经) react to these fumes and you become awareof (意识到）the specific smell of these foods.When you have a cold, however, your nasal passages are clogged (阻塞,填满）with mucus (黏液).Your sense of smell is cut off，just as it is when you hold your nose.When you can’t smell the foods you eat, it becomes hard to tell them apart.( )1. “Let go of your nose” means ______.A. t ake your nose awayB. r elease your hold of noseC. n ose aroundD. nose something out( )2.

While Canadian children are waking up, children in Scotland are ________.A. having lessonsB. sleepingC. watching TVD. playing gamesKMany students ask for advice about improving their English. There are three basic questions.The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wr ote, “I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?” This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself!The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, “Our school has a foreign teacher. But I’m shy and can’t speak to her. What should I do?” When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver, from Anhui wrote, “I want to remember all the new words. I wrote them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?” Try to remember eight or nine words a day.

This is because the number of people living on Earth is nearly six billion (十亿). All of these people need food, space and energy. As a result, lots of Earth’s natural resources will be used up. When we destroy our earth to get natural resources such as wood or oil, animals often lose their living space. They cannot have enough food, and they will get hurt or die.The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international charity. It tries to prevent humans from destroying more of nature than is necessary. For example, in China WWF is working with the local government to reconnect (重新连接) some small lakes in Anhui Province to the Yangtze River and to create(创造) more protected areas so that China’s natural beauty will not be lost in the future. WWF works in more than 50 countries, saving rainforests and stopping hunters from killing rare animals and protecting traditional ways of life in areas where they are in danger of being lost. WWF’s main goal is to encourage development that does not harm the environment and the animals that live in it. Even though the charity is known all over the world, and a lot of people support the goals of WWF, not so many donate money often. This makes it difficult for the charity to do all the things it wants to do.1. Why has over 30% of the natural world been destroyed?A. Because hunters are killing rare animals.B. Because not enough people help WWF.C. Because WWF does not have enough money.D. Because there are so many people living on Earth.2. How has WWF helped in China?A. They have protected traditional ways of life.B. They have helped to protect China’s natural beauty.C. They have saved many rainforests in Anhui Province.D. They have built some bridges over the Yangtze River.3.What is WWF’s main goal?A. To save rainforests.B. To stop hunters killing rare animals.C. To get more people to donate money.D. To protect the environment while developing.4.Why is it difficult for WWF to do all the things they want to?A. Because too many people do not know WWF.B. Because WWF doesn’t have enough money from donationsC. Because there are too many problems for them to solve.D. Because WWF doesn’t encourage development.参考答案A文章大意:本文介绍了目前中国最红的童星之一“小杰克逊”王一鸣，他因为能惟妙惟肖地模仿杰克逊而出名。

It involves （包括）learning about another culture too. Body language is different from culture to culture, so there is something that language learners should know about.Sometimes, cultural differences in body language can cause discomfort or misunderstanding. For example, there are cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two people who are talking with each other. If you would like people to keep a distance, you may feel very uncomfortable when someone keeps trying to stand close to you at a party.In some Asian countries, a smile can show embarrassment（尴尬） or apology. However, smiling back at a teacher who is unhappy with you, or someone whose foot you accidentally stepped upon is probably not a good idea in most English-speaking countries.In most countries, nodding your head means "yes" and shaking your head means "no". However, nodding and shaking your head have the opposite meanings in Albania.Even speakers of the same language, such as British, American or Australian people, may not use the same body language .So learning how to understand and use body language is important to you to improve your communicative abilities.（1）To learn another language, we need to learn its .A. wordsB. grammarC. cultureD. A, B & C（2）Which of the following sentences can be put in the blank of the fourth paragraph?A. The world shines when a smile is on your face.B.

Body language is the same in every country.B. In every Asian country, a smile can show apology.C. Speakers of the same language use the same body language.D.
