She is a lovely girl with two beautiful big eyes. But she always hides them behind a pair of glasses.One day, though, I nearly ended our friendship. I remember that day clearly. We were sitting in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our results of a Chinese test. I had done badly. I felt so sad that I wouldn’t talk to anyone. At lunchtime, I even stayed in the classroom alone. Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was Vanilla. “You look very unhappy,”she said, “What’s wrong?”I looked up at her, but said nothing. I knew Vanilla had got a good mark in the test. I thought she was making fun of me. I kept quiet, but Vanilla didn’t go away. She kept asking me questions, “Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to show you the right answers?” I looked away from her. When I looked up again, V anilla had gone. And so had my exam paper! I looked everywhere for my paper, but couldn’t find it.In the afternoon, Vanilla came up to my desk and gave me my exam paper back. I looked at it and got a big surprise. Vanilla had written the right answers next to every one of my mistakes. My face went red. Vanilla had been trying to help me all along. How nice she was! I wanted to hug (拥抱) her, but all I did was to hold her hands and say, “Thank you.” That afternoon, Vanilla and I went home on foot together. I felt so happy that we were still best friends.六、完成句子1. 目前,大城市的房价比小城市的高。

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 aware of (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.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has also brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution.Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the wo rld. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water.

A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索)words and talks in a halting (踌踏的)manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辩地,有说服力地).Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计)their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams,he may score near the bottom of the class.It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(观察)how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正确的) your judgement is likely to be.( )1. The best title for the passage is “_______”.A. J udging IntelligenceB. C hoosing a BookC.

Maybe Miami is a contender (竞争者).Amy:Really? Portland? Portland always seems,a bit dirty to me. Not really run-down(衰弱的),but just a bit behind in comparison(比较)to Seattle and Miami.
