A
Mr.Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring.He turned on the light and looked at his clock.It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night " He thought.He decided to go and find out.So he got off bed, put on his dressing gown (浴袍) and went to the door.When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange." Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.
A few minutes later he heard the bell again.Mr.Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door.He opened it, but again he found no one there.He closed the door and tried not to be angry.Then he saw a piece of paper on the floor.He picked it up.There were some words on it, "It is now after midnight, so it is April Fool's Day.April fool to you!"

If we want to deal with the association( 社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some "dos and don't" for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy mind. Most schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should get on with the other sex(性别) in public instead of in secret.
Don't be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don't fall into the ditch of early love. Teenage boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can't be eaten. An apple won't taste sweet until it is ripe(成熟) .Boys and girls at middle schools are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
( )4. The main idea of the passage is to 　 　.
A. tell students to keep away from early love
B. give school boys and girls advice on association
C. tell students how to make friends
D. teach boys how to talk with girls
( )5. We should get on with the other sex in following ways except 　 　.
A. with a good state of mind B. in real friendship
C. in public D. in secret
( )6. If you are a shy person, you can 　 　.
A. find friends with the same interest and hobby first
B. only have a few friends of the same sex
C. not make friends with the other sex
D. not fall in love with other students easily
( )7. A teenager is 　 　.
A. complicated(复杂的) in feelings
B. good at making friends with each other
C. old enough to fall in love
D. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love
C
If babies are given more love and feelings by their mothers, they will deal better with stress and anxiety when they grow up, research has shown.
The study of eight-month-old children shows even the very earliest life experiences can influence our happiness.
Lots of mother love makes children form a safe bond with their mothers, so they are able to feel safe in relationships when they grow up, and they will have better social skills and deal with life's difficulties.
The researchers, led by Dr. Joanna Maselko of Duke University in North Carolina, studied the relationships of 482 eight-month-old babies with their mothers during daily development.
They studied how well the mother had dealt with her child's developmental text and how she had responded child's performance. Mental health was then assessed when the babies had grown up﹣at the average of 34.

You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese
Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions(《红楼梦》) , written by Cao Xueqin. Now the book has been made into an English language opera.The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.
Many of the opera's creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign language opera.
The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters(章节) and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy(悲剧) that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings(布景) .He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.
The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences(观众) .Hwang told China Daily he was happy to "have made a contribution( 贡献) to the land where my parents were born".
( )12. The opera was 　 　.
A. sung in poetic Chinese B. first performed in Beijing
C. performed in China after one year D. performed in many languages
( )13. Which of the following is NOT a difference between the book and the opera
A. The language used. B. The sad love story.
C. The number of characters. D. The whole family's story.
( )14. Why did the creators make the book into an English language opera
A. Because they had backgrounds in Western culture.
B. Because they thought the book was not good enough.
C. Because they hoped to help others learn English.
D. Because they wanted Westerners to know about the Chinese novel.
( )15. The best title of the passage is probably　 　.
A. A Dream of Red Mansions Is Popular
B. Introduce the Chinese Classic to Westerners
C. Turn the Chinese Classic into An Opera
D. The Chinese Culture Is Colorful

Hello, everyone,
I am Li Hua. I'd like to speak out my worries and wishes. My teachers are too strict. They have too much homework to do every day. And I feel stressed too much. I wish I can have less homework. I think my parents are too strict with me. They give us little time for outdoor activities. It's hard for me to communicate with their parents. I wish I can have more chances to play with my friends. I wish I can get on well with my parents.
That's all. Thank you.
