| Long ago, near the village of Hedley, there lived a strange and playful trickster (骗子), known as the Hedley Kow. Sometimes it looked like an ordinary object. Sometimes it looked like a donkey or a goat. One evening, as an old woman went along the path, she saw an old iron pot lying in the ditch. "Fancy that," she said. "Nobody seems to want this old pot. I will take it home and plant pretty flowers in it." When she tried to lift it, she saw that it was full of gold pieces. "Well, now, if that doesn't beat all," she said. "I'm rich! I can buy a fine house and fancy clothes." The pot was heavy, so she tied her shawl around it and began to drag it home. After a while, she stopped to rest. When she looked in the pot, she was amazed to see that it was full of silver pieces! "Oh, my God!" she said. "Aren't I the lucky one! If it were gold, thieves would have been after me. My friends might have been jealous. But I can hide these silver pieces, take out a few at a time, and live like a queen." On she went, pulling the pot after her. She was nearing home now. At her gate, she looked into the pot. What a surprise! The silver had changed into a lump (块) of iron. "Iron," she said. "Well, now! No one will be jealous or want to steal this from me. I can use this iron to prop my door open and let in fresh air and sunlight. Lucky me!" As soon as she said that, the pot began to grow and later it became a goat. Then it jumped up and ran off down the road laughing. "Fancy that!" said the old woman. "I believe I have seen the Hedley Kow! Not many folks can say that, and that's a fact. I'll just sit up by my fire tonight thinking about how lucky I was to see it for myself. I truly must be the luckiest person in the world!" |

| Grammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or another, and it's most likely to strike during English or language arts classes. Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of the possibility of turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not! Grammarphobes, it's time to put your fears behind you.Grammar isn't that dreadful (可怕的). Here's why. Let's assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with friends. You probably also like emailing and instantmessaging. Well, what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar! Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, you're using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking. So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words aren't right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results. Grammar helps us understand each other. It's like a manual (手册) for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. They can't do what you want if they aren't put together correctly. What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what others' words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages. Communicating is similar to playing cards. To make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of them without having to open a book. |
| 1. Grammarphobes refer to people who ________. |
| A. consider grammar to be boring B. are worried about grammar homework C. mind grammar too much in writing D. are afraid of making grammar mistakes |
| 2. The underlined word "assembling" in Paragraph 6 may mean ________. |
| A. directing B. remembering C. bringing together D. looking for |
| 3. What does playing cards have in common with communicating? |
|
A. Both need standards. |
| 4. What might be the main idea of the passage? |
| A. Forgetting grammar when writing. B. Grammar is not horrible. C. Improving grammar through writing. D. What is grammarphobia |

| Kataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement. The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first "World Laughter Day" gathering took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th January, 1998. 12,000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are over 5,000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents. "HAPPYDEMIC" was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January, two years after the Mumbai gathering. In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 10,000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World Records."World Laughter Day" is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together. Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound overambitious(野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship. Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body-because it's good for you. |

| People generally use spices (香料) every day when preparing meals.Most of these spices are readily available in local supermarkets.However, in the 15th and 16th centuries, spices were as valuable as gold or diamonds.Spices are small plants or parts of plants, such as ginger, pepper, vanilla, and cinnamon, which are used to add flavor to our food.__1 __ Such a use for spices actually goes all the way back to Roman times.The Romans used spices such as cumin and coriander to help preserve food. The spices came to Europe from countries to the east, such as the islands in the East Indies, Sri Lanka, and India. __2__ Because of the long journeys involved, they were very expensive. European sailors began to look for routes to these countries themselves in order to bring back the spices by sea.In 1498, a Portuguese explorer named Vasco Da Gama reached an East Indies island called Calicut. __3__ In 1519, another Spanish explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, found a new trade route by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean, around the southern tips of both South America and Africa, and back to Europe. __4__ Portugal was the leader until the end of the 16th century.Spain was in control during much of the next 100 years.Then, Holland took over.The Dutch controlled the East Indies, but, in 1780, England defeated them in a famous war.__5__ They treated the people there badly and made them submit to the British government. India finally became independent from Britain in the 1940s.Today, it is still called "the land of spices"． In fact, at present India produces 2.5 million tons of spices each year and produced more types of spices than any other country. |
| A. For centuries, Arab traders had carried the spices over land and sold them to European countries. B. For the next four centuries, Western countries raced each other for control of the spice trade in these new countries, which they called the "New World"． C. Though they might not be as valuable today as gold or diamonds, spices are still big business around the globe. D. Six years earlier, Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus had been looking for spices when he discovered America. E. The English then moved from the islands into India. F. The history of spice is almost as old as human civilization. G. In those times, spices also helped keep meat from spoiling. |
| Yesterday a school boy is daydreaming in class. Not knowing that he was doing, he put a pen cap into his mouth. A few minutes late, he was terrified to find that he had swallowed it! The teacher was shocking when the boy stood up and said, "I've just swallowed a pen cap." He was quickly sent the nearest hospital. There a doctor examined him and said the best treatment was to take some medicines so that the pen cap could pass natural. Three hours later the boy successfully made it."She is really lucky," said the doctor. "It's not rare that small children put things into their mouths for a fun. It's very danger." |
