| Rainy Day Fun You wake up and the weather is all wet. What are you going to do today? Here are four ideas for you to try when it's raining cats and dogs. Puppet (木偶) show You can create your own puppets with things your parents already have around the house. First, you'll need some old socks or brown paper bags. Then get them decorated. Give your puppets names and funny voices. You might want to make up a special story for them. Maybe one puppet lost his way home. Maybe another puppet has superman powers. To make your show even better, use a cardboard box as a stage. Build a castle Ask your parents for some old sheets, blankets, or comforters. Spread them over chairs or other furniture to create a top-secret castle. Bring a flashlight, a good book to read, and maybe even a snack. Dress-up time Both boys and girls can have fun trying on old clothes. Ask your parents to let you try on old hats, jewelry, shoes, and clothes. Do you want to be a doctor? You can pretend it in a doctor coat. Or maybe you see yourself as a movie star. Ask your mom for her old dance dresses. Don't forget the earrings and high heels! Say thanks Birthdays and holidays are chances for us to thank people who love us. But it can be a special treat to get a gift or a card on an ordinary day. Think of the people who make you happy and then come up with a way to show them your care. Use your arts and craft supplies to create a special card. Or ask your parents to help you make cookies as a gift for that special person. You will be delivering sunshine on a rainy day! |
| 1. According to the passage, these activities can happen on ______. |
| A. sunny days B. rainy days C. cloudy days D. windy days |
| 2. When working on the puppet show, children can ______. |
| A. train their own imagination B. learn to perform shows on stage C. know how to deal with others D. find new ways of creating puppets |
| 3. Which of the following words can be used to describe the kids' castle? |
| A. Boring B. Hot C. Quiet D. Noisy |
| 4. What can we learn from the passage? |
| A. You can pretend to be a doctor by trying on your parent's clothes. B. You can only give a gift or a card to show your care on birthdays or holidays. C. You can use your own dance dresses to dress up. D. You can make some gifts to show your care for special persons. |

| What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. |
| 1. What is the passage mainly about? |
| A. The importance of working hard at school. B. Choosing a career according to one's strengths. C. How to face one's weakness. D. The value of school work. |
| 2. The writer thinks that a student have a part-time job is probably _____. |
| A. a good way to find out his weak points B. one of the best ways of earning extra money C. of great use for his work in the future D. a waste of time he could have spent on study |
| 3. From the passage we learn that if a student's school performance is not good, he _____. |
| A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities B. will be regretful about his bad results C. may also do well in his future work D. should restart his study in school |
| 4. The underlined phrase "be all thumbs" (in para 3) probably means"_____". |
| A. be clumsy at doing things B. be skillful in doing things C. be not interested in certain things D. be easily bored in doing things |

| The man of many secrets-Harry Houdini-was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes-from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his "magic" tricks. Of course, his secret was not magic or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted. Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in clubs in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. Bur for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch. It was the publicity (宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini's success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck-and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his. Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame and a name remembered today. |
| 1. According to the passage, Houdini's success in prison escapes depends on ______. |
| A. his special tricks and supernatural powers B. his unusual ability and skeleton key C. his magic tricks and inhuman powers D. his wisdom and magic tricks |
| 2. In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word "this" refers to ______. |
| A. his first prison escape B. the year 1898 C. the publicity D. Harry Houdini's success |
| 3. It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous ______. |
| A. in 1894 B. before he married C. at the age of 17 D. when he was 24 |
| 4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? |
| A. A skeleton key B. A man of many secrets C. Worldwide fame D. Great escapes |

| Oldest Ever Galaxy Found WASHINGTON(AP)-Astronomers believe they've found the oldest thing they've ever seen in the universe: It's a galaxy (星系) far, far away from a time long, long ago. Hidden in a Hubble Space Telescope photo released earlier this year is a small point of light that European astronomers now calculate is a galaxy from 13.1 billion years ago. That's a time when the universe was very young, just about 600 million years old. That would make it the earliest and most distant galaxy seen so far. By now the galaxy is so ancient it probably doesn't exist in its earlier form and has already changed into bigger neighbors, said Matthew Lehnert of the Paris Observatory, lead author of the study published online Wednesday in the journal Nature. "We are looking at the universe when it was a 20th of its current age," said California Institute of Technology astronomy professor Richard Ellis, who wasn't part of the discovery team."In human terms, we're looking at a 4-year-old boy in the lifetime of an adult." While Ellis finds the basis for the study "pretty good", there have been other claims about the age of distant space objects that have not held up to careful examination. And some experts have questions about this one. But even the doubters praised the study as important and interesting. The European astronomers calculated the age after 16 hours of observations from a telescope in Chile that looked at light signatures of cooling hydrogen gas. Earlier this year, astronomers had made a general estimate of 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang (宇宙大爆炸) for the most distant unclear points of light in the Hubble photograph, which was presented at an astronomy meeting back in January. In the new study, researchers focused on a single galaxy in their analysis of hydrogen's light signature, further finding out the age. Garth Illingworth of the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was the scientist behind the Hubble image, said it provided confirmation for the age using a different method, something he called amazing "for such faint objects". |
| 1. We can learn from the passage that ______. |
| A. the universe came into being about 14 billion years ago B. the galaxy is believed to be the same as it was just born C. the newly-discovered galaxy is the oldest one in the universe D. the galaxy had traveled about 600 millions before the scientists found it |
| 2. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ______. |
| A. the universe is actually very young B. the life-time of the universe is surprisingly long C. the humans have been so able as to see far into the universe D. what we can see about the universe now is just the tip of the iceberg |
| 3. What did some people doubt according to the fifth paragraph? |
| A. The importance of the discovery B. The truth of the discovery C. The actual age of the new galaxy D. The size of the new galaxy |

Prevention food poisoning starts with your trip to the supermarket. Pick up your packaged and canned foods first. Buy cans and jars that look perfect. Look for any expiration dates on the labels and never buy outdated food. Likewise, check the"use by" or"sell by" date on dairy products such as cottage cheese, cream cheese, yogurt, and sour cream and pick the ones that will stay fresh longest in your refrigerator. 2. ( ) After shopping, get home as soon as you can. Then put food into the refrigerator or freezer right away. Make sure to set the refrigerator temperature to 40℉ and the freezer to 0℉. Check temperatures with a thermometer. Place raw meat and seafood in containers in the refrigerator to prevent their juices from dripping on other foods. Eggs always go in the refrigerator. 3. ( ) Wash hands and surfaces often. Bacteria can be spread throughout the kitchen and get onto cutting boards and counter tops. To prevent this, wash hands with soap and hot water before and after handling food, and after using the bathroom or handling pets. Wash everything else before and after it touches food. Wash cloths before you use them again for anything else. 4. ( ) Cook food thoroughly until it is done. For example, cooked red meat looks brown inside. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat, poultry, casseroles and other food. Use a thermometer with a small-diameter stem. Insert the thermometer 1 to 2 inches into the center of the food and wait 30 seconds to ensure an accurate measurement. Check temperature in several places to be sure the food is evenly heated. 5. ( ) Use clean containers to store and serve food. When a dish is empty or nearly empty, replace with fresh container of food, removing the previous container. Place cold food in containers on some ice. Place the container inside a deep pan filled with ice to keep food cold. Once food is thoroughly heated on stove top, oven or in microwave oven, keep food hot by using a heat source. Place food in chafing dishes, preheated steam tables, warming trays and / or slow cookers. |

Many time, I wanted to talk with my roommates about that how I felt, but I failed to find an opening. When leaving alone, I always recall this sadness. I am an honest student. Why can I win true friendship? ______________________________________________________________________________________ |
