Some children were working in a wheat (小麦) field. Some worked hard and some didn't. But one small boy just ran here and there after the butterflies (蝴蝶) and sang happily.
In the evening, an angel (天使) came and said to the children, “Come now to the gate, and bring your sheaves (小麦捆) with you.”
So the children came, bringing their sheaves, but the boy that had run after the butterflies, came empty-handed.
“No one can enter here without sheaves,” the angel told him.

And a third said, “Just now, as evening was coming, I was tired and I couldn't go on working. But this boy comforted me, showed me the butterflies, and gave me one of his sheaves.”
And the other children said with one voice, “We also had sheaves of him, dear angel. ▲ ”

Last week, my teacher Mona Grant asked me to prepare a speech about an insect (昆虫) or animal. I decided to make my presentation (展示) about mariquitas, or ladybugs (瓢虫). The ladybug is one of the most beautiful insects I have ever seen. I remember when I was a child, I used to look at them in my aunt's garden. Before coming to the United States, I didn't know the insect's name in English. In Spanish, it's called “mariquita”.
First of all, I had to look for the English translation (翻译) of this insect. After asking some people, I knew it was called “ladybug”. Then I went to the library and learned a lot about it. I discovered that when ladybugs are born, their shells (壳) are orange and soft. I also found out when their two sets of wings (翅膀) dry off, they can fly. Another interesting thing I learned is that when the baby ladybugs hatch (孵出), they eat 30 aphids (a kind of insect) per day.
I spent a lot of time preparing for my presentation because I had to talk 7 to 10 minutes in front of my classmates. My teacher was going to grade me. I really wanted to make a great presentation, so I used paper, glue and markers to make a model of a beautiful ladybug. To explain the meanings of some new words, I made some cards.
Later I spent three days developing my presentation. As a result, it was really great and I got an A+ on my presentation. Ms Grant told me it was a good idea to use cards. She also told me to be careful with my pronunciation of some words. In a word, I think making presentations really helps to improve my English.
( ) 6. According to the writer, the ladybug _____.
A. is nice to look at
B. is children's best pet
C. likes to live in a garden
D. has a nice Spanish name
( ) 7. The writer learned most facts about the ladybug from _____.
A. Ms Grant B. her parents C. a speech D. the library
( ) 8. What did the writer do to prepare for her presentation
A. She bought some cards.
B. She asked her classmates for advice.
C. She made a model of a beautiful ladybug.
D. She watched a ladybug carefully for days.
( ) 9. Ms Grant thought the writer should _____.
A. improve her memory
B. improve her English vocabulary
C. perfect the use of her cards
D. perfect some words' pronunciation
( ) 10. Which is the best title for the passage
A. A strict teacher
B. My favourite insect
C. My first week at a new school
D. An unforgettable presentation
C
Four students from National University have recently returned from Africa. For 10 weeks, they worked in Zimbabwe and Botswana as members of a programme called Raleigh International.
Raleigh International, created in 1984, gives young people a chance to do volunteer work while experiencing other countries and their cultures. More than 30,000 students from different countries have volunteered in a total of 40 countries.
Marisa Silvestri, 20, a business major (……专业的学生), travelled to Zimbabwe to work with a group. Their first project was helping farmers build electric fences (围栏) to keep elephants from destroying (破坏) their crops. When elephants entered the village one night, the students joined farmers to drive them away and protect the fields. Silvestri's group also built small houses in the local style (风格) for tourists to stay in.
Saeed Mohammed, also 20 and an engineering major, joined another group in Zimbabwe. His group carried out a survey (调查) of health problems in several villages and taught children about good health habits. Saeed said after the health lessons, the kids asked them questions about “everything else under the sun.”
In Botswana, two 19-year-old students, LaKeishia Young and David Min, helped to build a meeting hall in a small village. Though they didn't face angry elephants, they said the building work was much harder than they expected. “It was a great learning experience,” Young said.
After all the hard work, the four students found time for fun. They took boat trips, learned African dances, and travelled together for a week after their programme ended.
( ) 11. The four National University students volunteered_____.
A. for over two months
B. with 40 other people
C. in four different African countries
D. to keep away from their parents and teachers

B. how patient Saeed was with the kids
C. what difficult questions the kids asked
D. how thirsty the kids were for knowledge
( ) 14. What did Young think was a great learning experience
A. Teaching kids about good health habits.
B. Helping to build a meeting hall.
C. Learning African dances.
D. Driving elephants away.
( ) 15. What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。
This happened a couple of years ago when I was on vacation in Europe. I'd been travelling around the south-west of England in a hire car (供租用的汽车) when I got a call from home. It told me my mum was sick. I decided to return to the US right away. I set off in the direction of London, but after I'd been going for an hour I still hadn't seen any signposts (路标). I decided to check I was heading the right way, but it had been raining all morning and there was nobody around to ask. Finally, I found a tiny village with a small bookstore, so I pulled over and went inside. An old woman, who was sleeping when I walked in, looked up in surprise. I guess I was the first person to enter the store that day. “Can I help you ” she asked.
“Yeah, I hope so,” I said. “Can you tell me the quickest way to get to London ”
“Well,” said the woman, scratching (挠) her head, “are you walking, cycling or driving ”
“Driving,” I said. “I have a car outside.”
“Good!” she said. “Driving is of course the quickest way!”
Was this some kind of joke I looked at her face but all I could see was a friendly big smile. “Thank you ma'am,” I said, and left. I made it to London and then took the quickest way home to Chicago — the plane!

Now great changes have taken place here. People live a better life. The houses are large and bright. People now pay more attention to the living environment so it is clean everywhere. The roads are wide and many people have their own cars. They make their lives more convenient.
I believe my home town will get better and better in the future.
That's all. Thank you!
