| Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Father, of course, provide a regular supply of pocket-money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income. With some children, small sums _go a long way. If sixpences are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside the money- box. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money-box. For most of them, sixpence is a small price to pay for a satisfying bar of chocolate. My nephew, George, has a money-box but it is always empty. Very few of the sixpences I have given to him found their way there. I gave him sixpence yesterday and advised him to save it. Instead, he bought himself sixpence worth of trouble. On his way to the sweet shop, he dropped his sixpence and it rolled along the pavement and then disappeared down a drain. George took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and pushed his right arm through the drain cover. However, he couldn't find his sixpence anywhere, and what's more, he couldn't get his arm out. A crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and butter, but George was firmly stuck. The fire-brigade was called and two firemen freed George using a special of greese . George was not too upset by his sixpence because the lady who owns the sweet shop heard about his trouble and rewarded him with a large box of chocolate. 1. According to the passage, children often get pocket-money from their_______. A. fathers B. mothers C. uncles D. aunts 2. The underlined word "go" in the first paragraph probably means_________. A. move B. last C. be placed D. work 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Fathers seldom give pocket-money to their children. B. Most children can fill up their money-boxes. C. George bought a large box of chocolate using the money given by the author. D. George didn't feel sorry for his bad experience. 4. The best title of the passage should be ______. A. Save your money B. George's bad experience C. Sixpence worth of trouble D. Pocket-money |

| There is a saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." What one individual thinks beautiful may not be beautiful to another. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But to me, beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes, but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance. The most memorable "beautiful people" are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces. In one of my previous classes, there were two beautiful girls, Sue and Lin. Both had almost perfect faces and slender figures. But Lin was used to getting her way. She felt that her looks could help her get anything she wanted, especially among the boys. Sue, on the other hand, treated her beauty as a matter-of-fact way and she was nice to everyone. She was also a member of the debating team. Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin. Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly. People who have this kind of beauty have attained inner peace. They care about their fellow-man, and try to right the injustices in this world. Two well known personalities who exemplify this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa. Mandela is willing to sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal right for the blacks in South Africa. Mother Theresa's mission is to help the poorest of the world's poor. This inner look makes the world a better place. 1. When talking about beauty in people, we often refer to _________. A. "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" B. their physical attractiveness C. something beyond the lovely sight D. the good senses 2. In the author's opinion, true beauty is____________. A. to make you see beyond the lovely sight B. the outward appearance C. something that pleases the eyes D. a beautiful or handsome face 3. According to the passage, why did the author think Lin less beautiful than Sue? A. Because Sue had perfect face. B. Because Sue had slender figures. C. Because Sue was nice to everyone. D. Because Lin treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way. 4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Beauty is not a perfect face. B. Inner beauty also attracts people. C. Beauty is not an attractive personality behind the pretty face. D. Beauty is not something pleasing the eyes. |
| Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices reflect about your personal qualities? Choosing the right gift is an art, I think. It calls for empathy---the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart. We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be strengthened----by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, so can many other emotional qualities. Think back to the presents you've given over the past years, the time and effort you put in your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know. We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike the tradition, tell your friends ahead of time. 1. The underlined expression "you had missed the mark" means you had failed to__ . A. make her feel better B. keep your friendship C. receive a present in return D. get the expected effect 2. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Natural empathy needs to be strengthened. B. Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts. C. Selecting the right gifts is an ability people are born with. D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers. 3. In the third paragraph, the author tells us that____________. A. attention should be paid to the receivers' responses B. one learns from what he did in the past C. the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualities D. one should spend more time choosing gifts 4. The best title for this passage is "____________". A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important Tradition C. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a Gift |
| Young athletes from around the world will soon get their chance at Olympic gold. The International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) voted Thursday to host the first-ever Youth Olympics. The Summer Games are planned to stage in August of 2010. The 12-day competition will feature 3,200 kids between the ages of 14 and 18. The Winter Games will be held in 2012 and are expected to attract 1,000 athletes. Both games will take place every four years. Seeing the rise in childhood fatness, IOC president Jacques Rogge said he hopes the competitions will encourage young people to get off the couch and get into shape. Rogge also admitted that the IOC is looking to pull in a younger television audience to the Olympics. In recent years, interest in the games among young people has fallen, with the average age of Olympic viewers on the rise. Rogge admitted that kids today are more interested in flashier( 浮华的 ) athletic sports like the X Games, which stand for such sports as BMX freestyle, surfing, and Moto X Racing. The Olympics have tried to keep up with the competition by adding BMX-cross cycling, ski cross, and snowboarding to the program. And the IOC is hoping to strengthen its fame among teens by adding skateboarding in the 2012 London Olympics. The Youth Olympics are the IOC's latest attempt to draw the attention of young viewers. "Just as the IOC has known, over our 100-plus years of living, how to move with the times---so we must now adapt to meet the taste of today's young generation," he said. 1. According to the passage, the third Winter Youth Olympics will be held ______ A. in 2012 B. in 2016 C. in 2020 D. in 2018 2. The aim of the Youth Olympics is to __________. A. encourage young people to exercise more B. meet the needs of some schools and parents C. develop students' sense of competition D. stress the importance of the Olympics 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ? A. When the Winter Youth Olympics will be held. B. Where the Summer Youth Olympics will be held. C. How long the Summer Youth Olympics will last. D. When the Summer Youth Olympics will be held 4. The Summer Youth Olympics are the following except___________. A. going to be held in London in August of 2012 B. planned to stage in August of 2010 C. going to be held every four years from August of 2010 D. the IOC's latest attempt to draw the attention of young viewers |

| Dear Laura, It's natural for teenager to want some "personal space" and become independent. It's also natural that parents want protect and guide his children. But the problem is that the way your father express his love and care for you is wrong. Since your father is not so easily to talk to, I advise solving the problem indirectly. What about talking with your mother and tell her what worries you? Maybe she will do you a favor. What was more, sharing funny school news and as well as your learning achievements and problems with your parents will help them know you more better and be less worried your school life. After you've done this, I'm sure your father will stop checking your private area so often. |
