         Why read, and sometimes even write poetry? That question is not difficult to answer if we change the
    word poetry to songs.
          I sing when I feel good. When I sing my favorite songs, I feel better. Sometimes when I am listening
    to music and to the song words, I feel that it was written for me. A good song always makes me feel
    something. There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the
    school bell rings by the end of the day. They help me get through the day.
         They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades. I like songs about love and
    friendship. The extraordinary thing is, my feelings are more special when I sing my favorite songs in English.
          I also like reading. I used to avoid poetry until an e-pal told me I should recite poems and not look up the
    meaning of the words. Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms, but the best thing is to just forget about
    them. In the beginning I felt quite strange. Now I always lock the door. Reading aloud gives you a strange
    feeling, but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm, the rhyme and the sounds of the words,
    it is really a special experience.
           I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems. I have different feelings with
    different poems. When I have had a bad day at school, I read Keats and forget everything. when I am sad I
    read Wordsworth by the light of candle. When the poem is finished, I close the book and my sadness is gone.
    1. I like song words because _________.
    A. they are bright
    B. they are colorful
    C. they are greedy
    D. my feelings given by them are more special
    2. Choose the best explanation of the word " e-pal".
    A. a machine
    B. a person
    C. a piece of information
    D. a friend online
    3. From Paragraph 4,we can learn _____.
    A. we should read poems aloud
    B. poems are strange
    C. poems are difficult to understand
    D. I am special
    4. What's the main idea of the passage?
    A. We should read poems with doors closed
    B. We should first sing songs then read poems
    C. Reading poems can bring people pleasure just like singing a song
    D. We should first read short poems then long ones
    5.  From the passage,we can infer that ______.
    A. the writer used to like poetry very much
    B. songs and poems are the same
    C. the writer fell in love with poems as soon as e-pal told him something.
    D. now reading poems is part of the writer's life.

         Brodie's unusual story began in 1984 when she lost her right front leg in a hunting accident. Just two years
    old at the time, Brodie recovered quickly and had no trouble getting around on three legs."Most people meeting
    her for the first time didn't know that she had only three legs because she was so quick," says Mrs. Willey,
    Brodie's owner.
         Bad luck struck Brodie again at the end of 1989 when she developed bone cancer in her right hind (后面的)
    leg. To stop the cancer from spreading to the rest of her body, the leg had to be amputated (截肢).
         Mrs. Willey and her family considered putting Brodie to sleep, as owners often do. But Mrs. Willey believed
    that Brodie was brave enough to succeed at walking on two legs." I knew that if any dog could make this
    situation work, it was Brodie, and if any owner could, it was me."
         Soon after Brodie was brought home from the pet hospital, Mrs. Willey began walking the dog by tying a
    towel under her body and holding it like a sling (吊带). Brodie's left front leg was already strong to keep the
    front of her body balanced. Mrs. Willey said it was only a matter of time until Brodie was strong enough in her
    left hind leg and we let go of the sling.
         It has now been a year since her operation, and Brodie gets around like any four-legged dog. Mrs. Willey
    says," It just proves that you can't give up anyone or any dog."
    1. What caused Brodie to lose her right hind leg?
    A. an accident
    B. a fight
    C. an operation
    D. a disease
    2. The underlined part in the third paragraph probably means _____.
    A. They wanted Brodie to have a rest
    B. They wanted to desert Brodie
    C. They wanted to put an end to Brodie's life
    D. They wanted to protect Brodie
    3.  According to the passage, how old is Brodie now?
    A. 2
    B. 7
    C. 5
    D. 8
    4.  Which of the following can be used to describe Mrs. Willey?
    A. friendly but impatient
    B. kind and strong-willed
    C. brave but strange
    D. clever abd honest
    5.  What's the best title for the passage?
    A. A lovely dog
    B. An unusual two-legged dog
    C. A lucky dog
    D. How to keep dogs
