But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).Sand is the second most-used resource in the worl d after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitl ess and that we might be running out of it.Sand is mad e up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质).

One day，as I was preparing the fruits. A little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years ol d，and the girl.five or six. They were looking the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),"They're good!" I knew it was French.Because I can speak and understand it.Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits.At first I thought she was really l ooking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together,I was sure she was blind.Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits .The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smil ed, and the daughter woul d put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age woul d be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn’t t ell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language .this is what I regret to this day.53．The women and her kids came to the market to buy .A．fruits B．vegetabl es C．candies D．toys54．According to what he saw, the writer was sure the mother couldn’t.A．speak B．see C．smell D．hear55．The writer was moved because .A．the mother was brave to face her problems.B．the kids were polite and kind to each otherC．the mother was careful in picking out thingsD．the kids were so willing to help their motherI remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades.When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted. I d escribed something like bikers wear. She listened long. I thought she und erstood for sure the kind I wanted.The next day when I got home from school, I discovered on my bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket sl owly, as if it were a stranger.From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the wardrobe(衣柜). I rushed and pull ed at the clothes in the wardrobe, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子), turning right and left. I looked ugly. I threw it on my brother's bed and l ooked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, l ooked at me for a l ong time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers l ooked my way and talked about how foolish I l ooked in my new jacket. When it was time for the whol e school to get together on the playground, ______. Although they didn't say out loud, "Man, that's ugly!" I heard their talk and even laughter.And so I went, in my jacket. So embarrassed(尴尬的), so hurt, I couldn't even do my lessons the rest of the day. I received Cs on tests.I wore that thing for three years. All in those years no love came to me.I blamed(指责)that jacket for those bad years. I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap ways. It was a sad time for the heart. Anyway, I spent my sixth-grade year, looking forward to something good to happen to me.And it was about that time I began to grow, still in that green ugly jacket, which had become my brother who went al ong wherever I went.56．The sentence that shows the writer cared about his mothers feelings is " ".A．I thought she understood for sure the kind I wantedB．I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap waysC．I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my momD．From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the wardrobe57．Which of the foll owing sentences care be put in the ?A．it began to rain B．everyone saw meC．my mother came D．I got angry58．The changes of the writers attitude(态度)to the jacket can be d escribed as .

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. Lyness points out at shouting never helps “Speak up, and let your parents know your id eas.” She advises “But be patient. 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.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a lovely boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?”he asked.Paul answered. “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas. ”The boy was surprised，“You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir，I wi sh...”He hesitated (犹豫). Of course Paul knew what the boy wanted，but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish，”the boy went on, “that I coul d be a brother like that. ”Paul looked at the boy in surprise，and then he said，“Woul d you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes，I'd love to.”the boy answered.After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Sir，woul d you mind stopping in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show hisne ighbors that he could rid e home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two stairs are?”the boy asked.He went up to the stairs. Then in a short whil e Paul heard him coming back，but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippl ed (跛腿的) brother. He sat on the stair and pointed to the car.“There he is，Bud dy，just like I told you upstairs.

It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive.A week before her mother’s birthday, she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheep umbrellas（伞）, and decided to take a black one, since her mother had lost hers the month before.She thought, “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color.” So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.On her way back home in the train that evening, she felt hungrybecause she had such a small lunch that she went along to the buffet car （餐车）for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment（车厢）, but when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers（乘客）in it, but now there were three.Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone, and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers heard it, they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said, “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”()1.Which of the following has the same meaning with the sentence "You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color"?A You can carry it when you are wearing any clothes.B Any color of your clothes will be all right.C The umbrella will be OK for your clothes in any colors.D.You can take any clothes that you like to wear.()2.Where did she find the umbrella missing?A.The compartment.B.Her school.C.The buffet car.D.The shop.

Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. ▲ Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don't talk to someone, we'll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid totell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解决) them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you're halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it! ( )1. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One? What can they do about this?B．Where do the problems come from?B.When did they have these problems?D．Why do they have so many problems?( )2. In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ________．A．answer a question B．give an exampleC．introduce his friend D．share his experience( )3. According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ________．A．Laura's teacher B．the writer of the passageC．a person with a problem D．an expert on students' problems ( )4. What is the main idea of this passage?A．Few children are careful with their money.B．Parents are more experienced than children.C．Talking to someone helps to solve problems.D．Students often have a lot of worries at school.五Maybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, “Why should I suffer this?” “Isn't there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progress in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusualletter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine (机器) let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution; he put a huge X­ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way，” a worker said.“Really? How？”“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap.”See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.( )1. Some students spend less time on schoolwork but do better in exams ________.A．because of their hard work B．because of different education C．because they try to find a better wayD．because they study for a much longer time( )2. Someone wrote to the soap factory and complained that ________. A．the soapbox he bought was empty B．their soap was too expensive C．the soap he bought was terrible D．their service was very bad ( )3. The soap factory could only ________ near the packing machine to solve the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way. A．set some soapboxes B．set an X­ray machineC．put two large computers D．put a huge fan( )4. The phrase “blow away” in the passage means “________”. A．停止B．远离C．吹走D．逃脱( )5. The article mainly tells us we should _______in order to succeed. A．work hard for long hours and study all the timeB．work hard like the engineer and think smart like the worker C．spend much less time on our schoolwork than beforeD．spend enough money repairing the machine for any problem六Shakespeare is the greatest English actor and playwright (剧作家) of all times.

When he told people to do things, they would never obey him. One day, the King decided to let the cleverest man—a wizard (男巫) to come up with the spells (咒语) which would get people to obey him. The man made hundreds of spells, but none of them worked.A young man heard about it. He went to the palace, and told the King that he could help and then gave the king two small pieces of paper. “Use the first before saying what you want people to do, and use the second after they finish doing it.” A servant was passing by (路过), carrying a large turkey in his arms. The King said to him,“Please, let me see that turkey.”The servant was surprised by the King’s kindness. He never heard him say‘please’before. So he gave it to the King. The King, after looking at the turkey, said,“Thank you. You may go.”And theservant left. The young man’s spells really worked!

Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast."Oh, Tom. You're still playing on that computer game. You must stop now, because it's half past eleven. If you don't go to bed soon, you'll be very tired tomorrow." said Mrs. White."But I've nearly won the game." Tom said to Mrs. White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat down beside him."You're always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework."Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos instead of studying. We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people, especially young boys. They spend a lot of money competing (竞争) with the computerized (用计算机控制的) machines. The more they lose, the more they want to win. The result is that they don't want to work or study.In some countries, even scientists hate computers. They say computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs or cause them a lotof trouble. Computer game addiction (瘾) is a serious problem in social (社会的) life. Something should have to be done to solve the problem.（）1. How did Mrs. White feel when she saw her son playing late?A. She felt excited.B. She felt happy.C. She felt worried.D.

Talking with my two friends always makes me feel better.Peter Laughing helps me when I'm upset. I usually watch funny movies and TV shows. I also love spending my hard time with my best friend Dave. He is humorous and always makes me laugh.John Every time I feel bad, I go climbing alone. The study says exercising can help cheer one up.

Which of the following is TRUE?A. Linda often asks her teacher for advice.B. Dave often helps Peter with his homework.C. John likes climbing mountains with his friends.D. Exercising can help people feel good.十一It's easy to have a fight in your family. Sometimes your parents fight with each other, or you fight with your parents, or even you fight with a brother or a sister. When it happens, you may feel sad or even angry. Remember even people who love each other fight sometimes.When you're upset or angry, keep calm and then try thinking of a solution to the problem. You could go out to run around or play a ball, or just find a quiet place and relax. When you're really calm, talk with the person you argued with.

My parents prepared everything for my journey. My plane was due (预期) to leave at 9:30 a.m. and arrive in two hours. I phoned the English family who I would stay with and they told me they would wait for me at the airport (机场).Unluckily my plane to London was delayed (延误). I tried to phone the English family again but I couldn’t speak to them because they had already left home for the airport.When I arrived in London, it was already 1:30 p.m. I went to get my luggage (行李) but I couldn’t find it. I became very worried. Luckily, the airport staff (工作人员) was very helpful and efficient. I didn’t wait long — they found it 10 minutes later.My English family were still waiting for me! I was so happy! Then my new life in London began. My English family were quite kind. I learned a lot of English because I spent most of the day talking in English. I played computer games with the little boy in my English family. I also taught him how to play chess. Sometimes I told him stories I learned from my family.I missed my family during my stay in London, but I also felt sad when my stay there came to an end. M y English family held a party for me. I enjoyed it very much. I’ll never forget that summer in London! It is one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
