    feel like the most special person in the world.   
        The night before my birthday each year, my parents crept into my bedroom while I was sleeping. They hung
    balloons on my walls with a big sign that said Happy Birthday! When I woke up, I was always surprised!   
        If my birthday was on a school day, I brought in treats to share with my teachers and classmates. On the
    weekend, I invited my closest friends to a birthday party.   
        When I was young, I had parties at my house. My parents made up lots of fun games to play. We painted
    pictures, played outside, and ate lots of cake and ice cream. My friends brought gifts for me, and my parents
    and I gave my friends small bags full of sweets called “goody bags”.   
        When I got older, I had birthday parties in different places. One year, I had a party at a bowling alley. Another
    year, I had a roller-skating party. In middle school, my parents let me have sleepover parties. My friends and I
    stayed up all night watching movies, chatting, and sharing secrets. At night we ate pizza and cake, and the next
    morning my parents made pancakes for everyone.   
        The saddest day of the year for me was the day after my birthday. Then I knew I had to wait another whole
    year before it would come again.

        What does it mean when parents fight?   
        It's hard for most people to hear their parents shouting at each other. You might worry more about one parent
    or the other during an argument. Or maybe you worry that one parent could become angry enough to lose
    control. It's understandable to feel this way when there's fighting around you.   
        If your parents are arguing about you, you might mistakenly think the argument is your fault (错误). But your
    parents' arguments are never your fault.   
        If your parents' fighting really troubles you, you might find it hard to sleep or go to school. If things are going
    like this, try talking to one or both of your parents about what they are doing. They may not even realize how
    bad you feel until you tell them how their arguments affect (影响) you.   
        If the fighting goes too far, let someone else know what's going on. Talking to other relatives or a teacher
    about the fighting can be helpful. Sometimes parents who fight can go so far that they hurt each other or other
    family members. If this happens, letting someone else know will allow the family to be helped and protected
    from such harmful fighting.   
        Family members can learn to listen to each other and talk about feelings and differences without shouting at
    each other. They can get help from others with the problem of fighting. Though it may take some work, time,
    and practice, people in families can always learn to get along better.   
        If your family argues from time to time, try not to worry too much: No family is perfect. Even in the happiest
    home, problems come up and people argue. Usually the family members get what's troubling them out in the
    open and talk about it. Hopefully, they can reach some agreement. Everyone feels better and life is OK again.   
        Being part of a family means everyone tries to make life better for each other. Arguments happen and that's
    OK. But with love, understanding, and some work, families can solve almost any problem.
    1. When parents are arguing about us, we'd better _______.
    [     ]
    A. worry about our mother   
    B. not become angry enough to lose control   
    C. try to find out our mistakes   
    D. understand that it's not our fault
    2. If your parents fight, you _______.
    [     ]
    A. shout at them    
    B. go to school    
    C. talk to them    
    D. go to sleep
    3. Which is not true according to the passage?
    [     ]
    A. People argue even in the happiest families.   
    B. It's OK for parents to argue from time to time.   
    C. People reach some agreement after fighting.   
    D. Love and understanding can prevent parents' fighting.

        I read yesterday (yes, on a blog) that there are now blogging competitions! I can't believe it. A man in England
    won $2,000 for writing the best blog. There's even a list of the best Chinese bloggers! I've read a few of them
    — before they were famous, I might add. I suppose that one blog can be better than another. It can be better
    written, more interesting, funnier, and I suppose that blogs are there to be read and judged (点评) by other
    people. If they're not good, they're not read. And they're not just personal feelings. If they were, they'd be called
    diaries. Have locks, and be hidden under beds. So I'm OK with this whole competition thing. I just can't believe
    I didn't win!   
        This has got me thinking about why I'm writing this blog. I'm not doing it to win a competition (or I wasn't
    when I started...) and I'm not doing it to show all my personal feelings - I do that in my diary. So, why am I a
    blogger?   
        To tell the truth, the first time I heard the word blog I thought it was a new word for a toilet. But I love
    learning new words so I used my knowledge and found out that a blog was a personal website and the word
    blog came from the words web log. Now a log is a type of diary kept by sailors, and web, well, we all know that
    it has nothing to do with catching flies and everything to do with the Internet. Web log… weblog… blog. Being
    a writer I loved the idea of getting my views onto the Internet where anyone could read them, and no editors
    (编辑) could get their hands on them!   
        So my first reason for blogging: I'm a writer. I want people to read what I write (un - edited!). And I love
    writing about anything I choose. I can write about saving the environment or complain about how the people in
    front of me in the cinema always seem to have big heads. And sometimes I pour out my heart too.   
        My second reason is that it's relaxing. I don't have to do research and write an article. I can let my thoughts
    go on as long as I like.   
        Third reason? To keep in touch. I'm terrible on the phone and all my friends around the world read my blog
    (or they say they do...). Every now and then, I even upload a photo so they remember what I look like.   
        Is there a fourth reason? There probably is but now it's time for dinner. Tomorrow I might even tell you what
    I ate.
    1. The writer loves writing blogs mainly because ________.
    [     ]
    A. his writing about feeling can be shown anywhere   
    B. his writing would never be edited by others   
    C. he enjoys writing something about big events   
    D. he finds himself terrible on the phone
    2. There're ________ reasons in the passage to explain why the writer is a blogger.
    [     ]
    A. 2   
    B. 3   
    C. 4    
    D. 5
    3. This passage is ________.
    [     ]
    A. a blog about blogging    
    B. a diary about blogging   
    C. a view on blogging      
    D. a judgement on blogging

        Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, it's a very dangerous sport that people should be careful
    about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is cushioned (缓冲) by the water below-this could not be
    further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph
    (miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very
    important.   
        Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never
    dive because a diver's body position (体位) at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety.
    Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves.   
        Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive.
    To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and
    pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and vertical (垂直的). This is safer because it makes
    the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less stress (压力) on the body.   
        Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But
    professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good
    idea, they actually increase the force of impact(冲击力) because they increase the surface area of the diver at
    impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a diver's body and can lead to broken bones. Without a
    doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go.   
        Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise
    decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a person's physical and mental(心理的)
    skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good
    health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. What's more, a person
    should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive.
    1. What does "this could not be further from the truth" mean?
    [     ]

        When I was small, I was kind of shy.Fortunately, I changed a lot by junior high. Shyness gets in the way of
    success, but it doesn't have to hold you back. Here are some tips that may help you overcome it.    
        1.            The excitement of being lost at something that you love can help you forget your nervousness while
    showing off in public.

    classes. 2.                
        Then, don't think about what will happen. It's possible that you might be laughed at when speaking. 3.

        Finally, remember past successes. Whether it is making a successful speech, remembering past successes
    can help inspire you to get future success. 4.             If you succeeded in the past, then you can succeed again!

    B. These successes are "proof" that you can do it.

        Ethiopian children are crazy about football but few of them have f ootballs of their own. They have to play
    with a paper football.   
        Like all children, they find time to play but they also have to do a lot of work. Some children have to help
    their parents look after younger brothers or sisters from the age of five. Many young boys have to look after
    animals and the girls have to help their mothers carry water.   
        At present only one third of small children go to primary school because there are so many children and so
    few schools. The classes have to be very large. In one school I went to there were 90 children in a class!   
        Traditionally the Ethiopians do not eat many vegetables. This is very bad for children, so many schools have
    their own garden where youngsters can grow their own vegetables.   
        There is no public transport, so children have to walk to school. One child I spoke to had to walk for even
    six hours! Many walk for two or three hours. But the Ethiopians love going to school because they know how
    important education is.   
        The Ethiopian government wants more children to go to school, and organizations like UNICEF are helping
    them. Many of the children want to be doctors and they will have to work hard but they know that they are
    Ethiopia's hope for the future.   
        Ethiopia  n. 埃塞俄比亚  
        UNICEF = United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund
