Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families in trouble.
One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan. “We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We’ll share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with food and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear” I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much. ”Meghan said, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too. ” I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we don’t want any more, but harder to give what we love, isn’t it

A. a doll B. the mother C. the small town D. one of the twins

七、任务型阅读：
You may know that more people drink coffee than tea around the world. And that, after oil, it is the second biggest traded commodity (商品). You may also know that the drink comes from beans which are first roasted and then ground (研磨). But do you know the history of this popular drink
It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian goatherd (牧羊人)named Kaldi. One day Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving(举止) very strangely. Instead of grazing (吃草) quietly, they were jumping around, almost dancing. He also noticed some red “cherries” from a plant that the goats were eating. He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of happiness and excitement. He felt like dancing too!
But it wasn’t used as a drink at first. It was used as food. The coffee berries, mixed with animal fat, were used by monks (和尚) to stay awake during long hours of prayer(祷告). From Ethiopia, coffee was later cultivated (培育) in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around AD 1000. Three centuries later，Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.
For many many years the plants were protected safely. But some beans were smuggled (偷运) out of Arabia and taken to India. In the 17th century, coffee was soon grown in a new continent. From India to Indonesia, a century later the beans were once again smuggled to Brazil. Brazil is now the largest coffee producer in the world.
It was the caffeine (咖啡因) that made the goats dance and kept the monks awake. Although it is found in other soft drinks and tea, coffee has the most caffeine. In the short term (短期), a couple of cups of coffee can prevent fatigue and delay sleep. But several cups a day, every day, can cause anxiety (焦虑) and restlessness (坐立不安).
The (1) __________ of coffee
Discovery Kaldi found that his goats had (2)__________ behaviors(举止) after eating some red cherries. Kaldi himself tried some, and he became very happy and excited.
At first Coffee was used as food instead of a (3)__________.
In AD 1000 Coffee was cultivated in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed.
In AD 1300 Coffee (4)__________ appeared in Cairo and Mecca.
In the 17th century Coffee was soon grown in a new continent, from India to Indonesia.
Now Coffee has become a (5)__________ drink, but too much coffee may cause anxiety and restlessness.
