            Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be
    used mainly to protect themselves.
            Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts
    change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look
    green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests
    with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives
    and appear only at night.
            If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and
    other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they
    have the colors much like the trees. Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can
    send out a kind of very black liquid (液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its
    enemies (敌人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong
    at all.
    1. From the passage we learn that locusts________.

    [     ]

    A. are small animals
    B. are easily found by birds
    C. are dangerous to their enemies
    D. change their colors to protect themselves
    2. How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?

    [     ]

    A. They run away quickly
    B. They have the colors much like their enemies
    C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night
    D. They have to move quietly
    3. Bears and lions can keep safe because _________.

    [     ]

    A. they have the colors much like the trees
    B. they move quietly
    C. they like brown and gray colors
    D. they live in forests
    4. Why can the kind of fish live up to now?

    [     ]

    A. Because it is very and strong.
    B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.
    C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.
    D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.
    5. Which is the best title for this passage?

    [     ]

    A. The Change of Colors for Animals and Pests
    B. Colors of Different Animals and Pests
    C. The Main Use of Colors for Animals and Pests

            In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an-
    unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon (动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard
    Nash's voice, he said "Stop! That's our duck!"
            The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen.
    Donald lived in an old houseboat (水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star
    after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because
    he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.
            In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney
    cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then
    in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared there were no more new cartoons. Clarence Nash died in
    February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

           You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year. You can do more of it in less time if you learn
    to read rapidly. Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have
    been strongly asked to break those which you might have.
           Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions. 
           (1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
           (2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
           (3) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
           (4) Do you read one word at a time?
           If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips, hold
    your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips
    move, you will know it and can stop them.
           If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with
    your right hand. Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head,
    place your chin (下巴)in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的).
           If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take
    in more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
           Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the fast
    reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance. Read in thought groups and force (强迫) your eyes
    along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able
    to read faster.
    1. You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading so as(为了)______.
    [     ]
    A. to tell others to be silent
    B. to feel whether your lips move or not
    C. to hold a piece of paper between them
    D. to keep yourself from talking to others
    2. When you read, ________.
    [     ]
    A. don't keep your head still
    B. don't hold your books with your hands
    C. don't stand up near a desk
    D. don't use your finger to point to words
    3. If you learn to read fast, ______.
    [     ]
    A. you can read more in less time
    B. you can write faster
    C. you can understand better
    D. you can read less in more time
    4. You must _____ those habits that we are talking about in this reading.
    [     ]
    A. remember
    B. have
    C. get rid of (消除)
    D. keep
    5. The best title for this passage is ________.
    [     ]
    A. How to read fast
    B. Breaking the bad habits
    C. Reading rules
    D. Ways to read less in more time

            How can you think in English?(1)I think the best way is to practice as what a             player            every day. During the practice the football player will pass the ball to his teammates over and over again. So he won't
    have to think about passing the ball in the game, he will just do it.
            (2)You can train yourself to think in English in this way. The first step is to think of the words that you use
    daily, simple everyday words like book, shoe or tree. For example, whenever you see a "book", you should think
    of it in English instead of in your mother language.
            After you have learned to think of several words in English, then move on to the next step —think of
    sentences in English. (3) 听是学英语的一个非常有用的方法。Listen first and don't care too much about
    whether you fully understand what you're hearing. Try to repeat (重复) what you hear. The more you listen,
    the more you learn. After you reach a higher level, start having conversations with yourself in English. This
    will lead you to think in English.
