When most 11-year-olds are watching Hunger Games, Lily is busy designing(设计) a special cup to help people with Parkinson’s disease(帕金森病).Lily is the daughter of an inventor, and his grandfather has Parkinson’s disease. After Lily noticed that her grandfather spilled his drinks, she decided to make a special cup for him. Lily’s cup has three legs, so it’s harder to knock over than the common cup. She named it the Kangaroo Cup.The design was not a success at first. The cup broke easily. However, with the help of her father, Lily worked with some older designers and manufacturers(厂商)to improve her design. Now Lily’s grandfather can use the Kangaroo Cup. This new Kangaroo Cup is made from plastic(塑料), and Lily’s grandfather can’t break it. The new cup can stand up on anywhere , even on the grass. It also has many colours, so it’s the perfect cup for picnics.Lily gives some advice to boys and girls like her. “Don’t be afraid if you fail, because you’ll fail a lot before you get it right,” she said. “Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Your parents and teachers ca n help you with a lot of things. Most of the time they are happy to help you if it’s not anything really expensive.”1.Why did Lily invent the Kangaroo Cup?A. To make her dream come true.B. To help her grandfatherC. To finish her homeworkD. To make some money2.The underlined word “spilled” probably means “______________”.A. flew out of a cupB. got hurt easilyC. warmed something upD. finished something quickly3.The Kangaroo Cup is harder to knock over because __________________.A. it has many coloursB. it has three legsC. its shape is beautifulD. it’s made from plastic4.Which of the following is NOT Lily’s advice?A. Don’t worry about failureB. Don’t be afraid to ask for helpC. Your parents and teachers can help you a lot.D. It’s expensive to get help from other people.BHave you ever heard the phrase "You never get a second chance to make a first impression（印象）"？It may sound like an unusual piece of advice，but it is true﹣the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future．What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds．When you meet someone for the first time，by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands，the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are．So how do you make a good first impression？All things grown up tell you such as being polite，and being well﹣dressed are very important．However，the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face．Smiling，being responsive，and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive（积极的）impression on people，especially those who do not know you．Most people，generally speaking，are ready to smile back when they are smiled at．Furthermore，smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and geta better understanding of new things．This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly．So if you ever need a reason to be happy，think about the wonderful people you might meet and impress with a cheerful smile．1.What does the underlined word "react" in Paragraph I probably mean in Chinese？A．回应B．道歉C．报告D．建议2.Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you？A．Paragraph 1．B．Paragraph 2．C．Paragraph 3．D．Paragraph 4．3.What is the most important to leave good impressions？A．Shaking hands．B．Stating your name．C．Dressing nicely．D．Wearing a smile．4.What can be learned from the last paragraph？A．Friendliness helps solve problems．B．Being positive helps you find a way out．C．There are many reasons to be happy．D．Thinking of great people cheers you up．CIt is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu(流感) going around?A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually ea sy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine(疫苗),it can stop you from getting the virus(病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to have antibodies(抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.The flu virus changes every few years. So there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.However, good health habits may also help you away from a cold or flu. Washing your hands often stops you from getting viruses easily. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增强免疫系统).1.

But the climate(气候) is not always the same.In England, winter is not very cold and summer is not very hot. There is not a great difference between summer and winter because it is an island country. In winter the sea is warmer than the land. The winds from the sea bring warm air to England. In summer the sea is cooler than the land. The winds from the sea bring cool air to England. The west winds blow over England the whole year. They blow from the southwest. They are wet winds. They also bring rain to England. So England has a lotof rain all year. Sometimes it rains heavily. The west of England is wetter than the east.In Canada they have four seasons, too. But the average(平均) temperature is very low. Spring is usually very cold in most part of the country. It comes in February. People can still go skating in some places. Summer is usually very cool. Early in the morning the weather is so cold that people usually wear sweaters. Autumn comes after summer. Canadians like to watch maples(枫叶) in the park or on the hills. They are really beautiful. Winter is the coldest season of the year. It’s often freezing cold. There is thick ice on the river or lake. Children like to go skating there. Of course, they should wear warm, thick coats, or they will catch a cold.Today, I want to write something about my mother.
