This might sound fun, but Coraline ’s parents are boring.

She finds a small hidden door and a tunnel leading her to a new world.Everything is perfect there-her parents are funny and they buy her everything she wants. Coraline is happy there, but one thing disturbs her-all the people there have buttons for eyes. One day, Coraline is asked if she wants to put buttons into her own eyes so she can stay in this wonderful world forever. While she is thinking about this, she discovers something terrible. She has to do something to save her family.Coraline tells an amazing story. It taught me a great lesson- be careful what you wish for. I personally didn ’t think it was that scary, although some people might. This film was made using stop-motion animation （定格动画）, which means the characters were made out of clay models （黏土模型）.

The items you send with him decide where hegoes, what pictures he sends back, and what souvenirs(纪念品) he brings with him. If for some reason you think he left without food in his backpack, then you ’ll need to lure(吸引) him by placing food on his desk,Many people have praised the game for its slow pace, saying it ’s the trend(趋势) among younger generations in China to pursue “Zenlike ”(佛系) activities. “Everything is unexpected in life, just like the game. Wherever I launch the game, I don ’t know whether the frog is at home, reading, eating or writing l e tters,” Yuan Linghuan, a 25-year-old postgraduate student of Tongji University in Shanghai, said. She thinks the design of the game is cute, and it requires no skills in fighting, which is good for female players. “It ’s not a game that you will get obsessed with(沉迷), as there is no ranking list among p layers,” Yuan added, “ All you have to do is to open the app to see if your frog is at home or its journey, and it ’s not necessary to spend a lot of money to equip the frog for his travels, which differs from other role-playing games. I feel like I ’m the mother of the frog in the game.

On average, people in China eat about 10.5 grams of salt each day, much higher than the 6 grams recommended （建议）by Chinese Dietary Guidelines.purpos e play why as keephoweverdesign perfecttruelowChina now has one of the highest salt intakes in the world. To fix this, China issued the first salt reduction guide for its food industry on April 18, People’s Daily reported.If the guide is followed properly, the average salt intake for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030. The guide calls for food companies to lower the salt content in their products by improving their production techniques and adjusting flavors.The salt we take in mainly comes from processed （加工的）food. For example, a 104-gram can of Lay’s classic potato chips contains about 0.66 grams of salt, which accounts for over 10 percent of the recommended daily salt intake. A 100-gram bag of Kang Shi Fu instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt.A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health, but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes（中风）, the Xinhua News reported.Less salt leads to better health. And there’s no need to worry that food will be less tasty in the future. A study by the Monell Chemical Senses Center in the United States found that it’s easy for people to reduce their salt 三、阅读下面对话，从方框中选择适当的句子补全对话（其中有两项是多余选项）A: Excuse me.

This SummerThis summer there are things that students can do to earn some pocket money or to help others．Also，many programs are offered by provincial government and its partners to help students find summer jobs．Here are a few ideas．Deliver NewspapersTeenagers can deliver newspapers﹣usually you ride a bikearound a neighborhood and leave the newspaper at each house．Normally you have to have your own bike﹣and you have to get up early too，because people want their newspapers to read with their breakfast．If you are 15﹣18 and return to school this fall，you can find jobs of this kind．Wash CarsIt's crazy for adults to drive to an expensive car wash when they can get a teenager to do the job for less money．Wash the car well and carefully and people will want you to do it again．Then you've got customers!Give Older People a HandLots of older people are happy for teenagers to help them carry their shopping or do small things for them，like washing or keeping them company （陪伴）．You earn money or not，and people in the neighborhood get your help．Job ProgramsIf you are a student living in certain communities of the province，you are lucky．There are programs that provide four weeks of paid jobs along with training．After that，you can start and run your own summer business，and you have a chance of wining awards of up to﹩1000．Go to the government website to learn more about these programs．People under 25 could buildskills，find a job or start businesses all year round．They are all great ideas．Just choose one of them to make some money．Then spend it or save it．But don't forget it's important always to tell an adult where you are going．（1）What is special about Deliver Newspapers？AA．It requires one to get up early．B．It needs patience and strong body．C．It offers help to neighbors．D．It gives training before work．（2）Which one provides training？DA．Deliver Newspapers．B．Wash Cars．C．Give Older People a Hand．D．Job Programs．（3）What can you learn from the passage？DA．It's hard for teenagers to find jobs．B．The elders don't want help from teenagers．C．Washing cars is the best choice for teenagers．D．Whatever you want to do，safety comes first．解析：文章主要就暑假学生挣些零花钱给了一些建议．参考答案：（1）A 细节理解题．根据第二段Normally you have tohave your own bike﹣and you have to get up early too，通常你必须有自己的自行车，而且你也必须早起，可知送报纸得早起，故答案为：A．（2）D 细节理解题．根据倒数第二段Job Programs There are programs that provide four weeks of paid jobs along with training．就业计划：有提供四周带薪工作和培训的计划．可知Job Programs 提供培训，故答案为：D．（3）D 推理判断题．根据最后一段But don't forget it's important always to tell an adult where you are

the train to Chinatown．We had begun to learn Putonghua and our teacher said this excursion would let us practice our language skills and learn more about Chinese culture．We entered Chinatown through the arched （拱形的）entrance gate with red painted wooden pillars （柱子）．Big stone lions sat on each side．Then I noticed that the street signs werewritten in both Chinese and English．I photographed the sign for Hay Street．The next place we visited was the Chinese Garden of Friendship which was very peaceful．There were waterfalls，hidden stone paths and a beautiful teahouse．We had a wonderful time there．At last it was time for our Chinese lunch．We entered a big restaurant that had red lanterns hanging from the roof and red dragons on the walls．The waiters greeted us in Putonghua and we answered them in Putonghua．We were shown how to use chopsticks and how to choose from the menus with Chinese writing．At 2：30 we left Chinatown．We were all very tired．On the train，our teacher told us her experience in China．She was just back from seeing the Great Wall of China．It's like a long dragon winding its way．We were told it is the longest wall in the world．As we were listening，one student，who I couldn't name，fell asleep on the train and snored loudly．His face turned red when he woke up!In the past，I often told my Chinese classmates how to speak English．Now there are more people than ever who are studying Chinese．I can understand why﹣it's a fascinating language，andthere are always new words to be discovered! I cannot forget our excursion to Chinatown．Tom Green，Fourth Class（1）The underlined word "excursion" in Paragraph 1 means B．A．trainB．tripC．placeD．day（2）What was the first thing connected with Chinese

the train to Chinatown．六月的一个刮风的日子，四班乘火车去了唐人街．应该是老师说这次短途旅行可以让我们练习语言技能，了解更多中国文化，excursion应该是旅行的意思，故答案为：B．（2）D 细节理解题．根据第二段We entered Chinatown through the arched （拱形的）entrance gate with red painted wooden pillars．我们通过拱形大门进入唐人街，大门上有红色油漆的木柱，可知第一个是两边各有石狮的拱形大门，故答案为：D．（3）D 细节理解题．根据第二段We entered Chinatown through the arched （拱形的）entrance gate with red painted wooden pillars 大门上有涂红的木柱；第四段We entered a big restaurant that had red lanterns hanging from the roof and red dragons on the walls．我们走进一家大饭店，屋顶上挂着红灯笼，墙上挂着红龙．和第五段His face turned red when he woke up!他醒来时脸红了！可知脸红了与其它三次不同，故答案为：D．（4）C 主旨归纳题．根据最后一段I

took their kids out of school early were stopped by the police at the airport．The police were making reports on students who didn't have permission（许可）to miss school．Like many places，it is against the law to skip （不参加）school in Germany．Children over the age of 9 can't miss classes without permission from the school．But during busy travel times，some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations．People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others．Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany．People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to．Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school﹣aged children．When they found them，the policepulled the families out of lines to talk with them．They wanted to find out if the parents had permission for the children to be out of school．If the children did not have permission，the police reported the families to their schools and to the government．In all，the police reported about 20 families．These families will have two weeks to show that it was okay for their children to miss school．If they can't，they may have to pay as much as﹩1，200 as a fine （罚款），or receive some other punishment．Germany is not the only place where parents have to pay fines if their children miss school．Many other countries and many of the states in the U．S．have similar laws．The good news is that the families were allowed to go on vacation after they talked to the police．But they might have a big bill waiting for them when they get back．（1）Why do some German parents take their children out of school early during busy travel times？CA．They can spend more time with their children．B．Their children will study by themselves．C．They want to save money．D．Their children can take online courses．（2）In Paragraph 4，police officers at three German

is even worse for teens．They sit eight hours each day．The information was put out by the National Center for Health Statistics．It has collected the numbers for the past 16 years．It is worried about what it has found．Research shows that people who are not active can get sick．Their bones get weaker．They burn fewer calories （卡路里）．That makes them more likely to put on too muchweight．They might even get diabetes （糖尿病）．They are at risk for high blood pressure and heart problems，too．Some experts also think sitting too much can influence how your blood moves through your body and how well your body fights off illness．Being active helps in lots of ways．It can make you happier，burn more calories and give you more energy．It can also help you sleep better．About 60% of people in the U．S．watch at

for all age groups．Now，50% of adults spend at least an hour of their free time on a computer each day．That is up from 29% in 2003．About 53% of teens now spend at least an hour of free time on

better．，可知运动可以帮助人们消耗卡路里，故答案为：A．（3）B 主旨大意题．根据Health experts say the U．S．adult now sits about 6.5 hours a day，That is up about an hour a day compared to 2007．The news is even worse for teens．They sit eight hours each day，结合文章内容，可知文章主要讲了久坐对健康的危害，故答案为：B．（4）B 内容推断题．根据So get up，take some breaks and go outside．You might save your life by doing outdoor
