| Christmas was just a week away and I had five people left to shop for and only three dollars. "Let's set a price limit(限制)on our gifts this year," I suggested to my best friend Joanie. "That's a good idea,"Joanie agreed."How about nothing over five dollars?" "How about sixty cents?" I felt like the biggest cheapskate in the world. "I guess this is where I'm supposed to say it's not the gift but the thought that counts,"Joanie smiled. It is almost impossible to buy anything under sixty cents, so it was really going to have to be very small gifts with very big thoughts. Finally, Christmas Day arrived. I gave my mother a candle with a note that said," You are the brightest light in my life." She almost cried when she read the note. I gave my brother a wooden ruler. On the back of it I had painted,"No brother in the world could measure up to (比得上) you." He gave me a bag of sugar and had written on it, " You ' re sweet." For Joanie, I painted a pair of shoes with a note that said, " No one could ever fill your shoes (代替你)." She thanked me and said I always tickted (搔) her and made her laugh. To my other two friends, I gave Annie a paper fan and a note on it,"I' m your biggest fan." I gave Helen a calculator (计算器) that cost one dollar and I painted a message on the back,"You can always count on(依靠) me." My mother knows she is the most important person in my life. My brother thinks I' m sweet. Joanie thinks I' m funny and make her laugh, which is important because her dad moved away last year and she misses him and is sad sometimes. |

| Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life's challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way. Life is like a game and maybe you can award (奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, "Hey, I've won!" and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reasons, tell yourself,"well, I tried!" which is better than not trying at all. Don't let it be said you didn't try. What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby's first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself. It really does not have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don't get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don't let "give up" be a part of your vocabulary. |
| 1. By saying "To err is human", the author means that ______. |
| A. human beings should try to avoid making mistakes B. no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes C. mistakes and failures make up our life D. human beings make mistakes easily. |
| 2. What's the main idea of Paragraph 2? |
| A. Try to reach 50 points. B. Never stop trying in your life. C. Award yourself for your success. D. Don't be afraid of missing your points |
| 3. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through ______. |
| A. examples B. numbers C. experiments D. stories |
| 4. The underlined word "despondent" in the last paragraph means ______. |
| A. frightened B. disappointed C. surprised D. excited |

| Imagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave. But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison (野牛) that are drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be"Who did this?" This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons. Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets that look familiar too. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls (公牛 ), which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags (牡鹿) and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned (两只角的) animal. To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros (犀牛), a carefully drawn dead man, a wounded bison and a bird. Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magical power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The Cro- Magnons had a sense of wonder about the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it. |
| 1. The author uses the word "you" in the first paragraph to _____. |
| A. pull the reader into the story B. make it clear that this is a true story C. give the reader good directions to find the caves D. compare present-day readers with the Cro-Magnon people |
| 2. Most of the drawings in the caves are about _____. |
| A. boys B. tools C. dead men D. animals |
| 3. It can be learned from the passage that ______. |
| A. anyone can find cave art B. the Cro-Magnon people are a mystery C. the Cro-Magnon people knew magic D. the cave paintings of Lascaux are excellent |
| 4. What is the main idea of the passage? |
| A. Cave paintings are beautiful. B. Who found the beautiful cave paintings? C. The Lascanx caves hold ancient colorful paintings. D. Drawings of horses are on the walls of the Lascaux caves. |

| Thailand is an amazing place to teach English. But times are changing and Footprints is looking for the best and the brightest to fill the teaching positions. As of March 2009, the Teachers Council introduced the following amendments (修改) to ensure that all teachers in Thailand have a minimum (最小) number of Education course credits along with their bachelor' s degree.

If the foreign person is employed teaching while completing the courses, they'll have to take night and weekend courses. The courses take almost one year to complete.

Upon completing the courses, the teacher will have earned the right to apply for a teaching license in Thailand and will then have the right to apply for a work permit to teach in Thailand.

| Long ago, children played like children do today. They got dirty from running around. Older people got dirty from working all day. But then there was no soap. What did people do to get clean? At first, people just went into a lake. They washed in the water. But then learned to use other things with the water. They put plants in a fire until they turned black. In this way,they made ashes. People used the ashes like soap. They also used oil like soap. But these were not very good. The first soaps were hard to make. First water was put in a pot. Then fat was added. Oil and ash were mixed in the pot, too. Then it was put on a fire. Everything got very hot. Salt was added. After a while the fat came to the top. When the cooked fat was taken out, it got hard. This was the first soap. The soap we use today is very different. Things were put in to make it smell good. Something is added to give it a nice color. Some soaps are white. Others are yellow, green, or blue. Soap is also cut in different ways. It can be round or square. What is soap used for? We all know that it is needed to wash things. But did you know that a kind of soap is used to oil machines? This makes them work well. Another kind of soap is put in oil to make your car run better. |
