He didn’t have the sadness of62his mother as Paul and John did, He didn’t get sick like Ringo.He was the youngest Beatle, born on February 25, 1943.Harold, his father, drove a bus. Louise, his mother, taught ballroom dancing(交谊舞). But little George wasn’t interested in dancing. He wasn’t interested in music, either. He was a 63 boy.As he got older, he wore tight pants and grew his hair long, even though the other kids 64 him for it. George used to tell them he kept his hair long because the scissors(剪刀) his father used weren’t sharp. Of course, that wasn’t true, he just liked the way his hair looked.Music came into George’s life when he was fourteen. That’s when he heard a British 65 named Lonnie Donegan. The music Lonnie Doneganplayed was similar to rock and roll, except it was faster. Theycalled this new music “skiffle.” George loved the sound of it, andbegged his mother to buy him a guitar. She 66 agreed, andbought one for five dollars.George taught himself how to play. He practiced so much that the tips of his fingers started to bleed(流血).Soon he wanted a 67 guitar, an electric guitar. An electric guitar is much louder because when it’s plugged in, the sound runs through a speaker. Even though the guitar was sixty dollars, his mother bought it for him.While Paul loved to sing, George was more interested in playing guitar. He was actually too scared to sing in front of people. Years later, he would be kn own as “the quiet Beatle.”62. A) losing B) describing C) begging D) following63. A) thankful B) serious C) quiet D) noisy64.

Now this door is here to help you. It can turn into aping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping pong game isover, it goes back to being a normal door. It was designed by TobiasFränzel from Germany. Cool concept!Dog Watch --------------------------------------------------------------The dog watch is actually a "clock for keeping time at a rate(比率) other than human time" and was invented in 1991. With thishandy watch, you can be aware of time at your animal’s rate insteadof your own. According to the inventor, the watch multiplies everyhuman second, minute and hour by seven, thus giving us "doggytime". If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 humanyears!Earthquake House--------------------------------------------------------Big earthquakes can damage a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But our inventor has a solution, the EarthquakeHouse!His idea is simple, build a round house that has earthquake sensors(传感器) in it. If the sensors signal the big earthquake, thehouse is automatically released (松开) from its chains. Don't worry.You always remain upright in it. We don't recommend(推荐) thisfor a hillside home because there aren't any brakes to stop it! Smell this---------------------------------------------------------------------How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the mask (面罩) on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose.68.

You can find such a passage in the materials except .A) newspapers B) magazinesC) science books D) story booksIV.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(A)Are you the first or the last child in your family? Or are you a middle or an only child? Some people 74 it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that the eldest children are smart. They are very likely to be 75 . The reason for this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child; they give him or her much attention. So this child is likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in the family? Middle children don’t get so much attention, 76 they don’t feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny or charming. Do you believe these ideas about birth order too? A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in their lives. They 77 followed orders. Rules didn’t mean as much to later children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas. They took chances and they often did better in life.(B)Help a Child Write a Book ReviewWhy Use This TipReviewing a favorite (or not so favorite) book helps achild’s reading comprehension. It also gives him or her the c78 to express an opinion through writing and develop his or herwriting style and voice. In order to write an effective (有效的)review which helps the reader decide whether or not to pick up a particular book, a child must include certain elements. By helping a child recognize what those elements are and how they can help him or her express op inions, you’ll provide a framework (框架) for writinga 79 not only books but also movies, plays, and TV shows.What to Do1.Look for some examples of book reviews. Your favorite magazine or local newspaper may be a good source; some newspapers even include reviews by middle or high school students. You can also f 80 book reviews online at the Books section of USA Today or The New York Times.2. Read some book reviews with a child and togetherpick out the main elements, for example: the book’s t81and author (作者), a brief summary of the plot, comments onthe book’s strengths and weaknesses, the reviewer’s p82response to the book with specific examples to support praiseor criticism (批评).3. Help the child choose a book to review. It can be a novel he or she is reading for fun or a book for homework. One way to encourage interest and have some fun with the project is to pick a book, such as a children’s picture book, a comic strip novel, or a book of photography.4. Encourage the child to take notes while reading the book so he can r 83 to support his points.5. Suggest that a child outline (列提纲) the book review b 84 writing, using one paragraph for each point he or she wants to make about the book.VII. Translation85. 我爸爸是公司经理，我妈妈负责销售工作。
