Dear Kate，
It's really good to know you are covering for me while I'm away on the training course. Thanks so much. Knowing that you'll be teaching the kids has made me relaxed. I'm sure you'll get on fine with them. I thought I should leave you some notes on a couple of things that are planned for this week, and other advice that will hopefully see you through to next Friday!
Tuesday: The class is going to visit the Dinosaur Museum. Make sure they take their notebooks and remind them on Monday to bring a packed lunch and the entrance money.
Thursday: I've promised them they can watch a Disney DVD as a special treat. It's in my locker. There are some worksheets (活页练习题) to go with it. By the way, don't worry about marking them — I'll do it when I'm back.
You know, the head teacher is on the warpath about being late, so be warned! If you get to school even a minute past 8：15, she's likely to give you a real telling off.
Seriously, though, you'll have a great week — the kids are wonderful. Don't let Mark and Jack sit together and you shouldn't have any disciplinary (纪律的) problems! Which reminds me, if you do have any problems, just tell the head. She's very supportive when it comes to discipline. One last thing — could you leave notes on what you do, please
Best wishes，
Stef

They shape our lives in many ways. Often when they get old, torn or fall apart, we're likely to throw them out or replace them. But one 85 year old man is devoted to bringing old books back to life.
“I know how to do this. I enjoy doing this，” said Paul Reeder, a book repair hobbyist.
Reeder is changing the face of our textbooks, one book at a time, said Skyview High School Principal, Deb Black.
It all started just three weeks ago.
“There was an article that came out about the bad shape our books were in，” said Black.
Reeder read the article in the newspaper, and he soon appeared in Black's office. It was the morning of April 5, 2016.
“He said, ‘I'm here to offer what I think may be a solution，’” Black recalled (回忆)．
Reeder has been repairing books since the 1940s. Over the years, he's worn many hats, yet his interest in book repair remained unchanged.
In the year 1992 when Reeder retired (退休), he went all in. He has repaired books for a number of organizations including the Montana Historical Society and the Billings Public Library.
Skyview's students are not only thankful for Reeder's help, but inspired (鼓舞) by his work.
“They have made him thank you signs and cards. I have one girl who left me a note the other day. She wants to learn to do what Paul does. What he does is a lost art. He has done great things for our kids and for our books，” said Black.
The worn out books are brought to Reeder on Friday, and in most cases, he's able to return the books as good as new by the following Monday, according to Black.
4．What does Reeder think of his work
A．It is a pleasure.
B．It is very boring.

5．How did Reeder find out Skyview's books needed repairing

C．From a newspaper.
D．From an organization.
6．What can we infer about Reeder

B．He repairs hats in his spare time.
C．He has a lifelong love for book repair.
D．He retired from Skyview High School.

According to researchers at Yale University's Infant Cognition Center, babies can actually tell good from evil (恶), even as young as three months old.
Puppets (木偶) are used to show good and bad behavior. In one case, a puppet is trying hard to open a box. Another puppet, the “good” puppet, helps it open the box, while another, the “bad” puppet, shuts the box on purpose.
More than 80% of the time that experiment is done, babies will choose the “good” puppet when presented with both puppets and given the chance to choose either one.
Humans are born with a sense of good and evil, according to Paul Bloom, Yale's Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology.
“We are naturally moral (道德的) beings, but our environment can improve — or sadly, weaken — this inborn moral sense，” Bloom said.
So now I'm wondering if, during those months when I thought my babies had no idea of the world around them, I did anything I should not have done.
Lyz Lenz, mom of a nearly three year old daughter and seven month old son, wonders the same thing.
“After the birth of my daughter, I watched all of ‘Damages，’ a TV show where Glenn Close plays an evil lawyer，” she said.
Many women I talked with by e mail or on Facebook weren't really surprised to learn there's much more going on in the brains of our littlest ones.
Jessica McFadden, founder of the blog “A Parent in America” and mother of three, remembers when her daughter Alice was four months old.
“She would babble (talk quickly in a way that is hard to understand) worriedly in front of the large family photo hanging in our home，” said McFadden. The photo was taken before her daughter was born and included everyone in the family — except her.
“She truly seemed put_out that she was not in the picture! When the photo was replaced (替代) with a new one including her, she smiled, waved her hands and would happily look at it each time she passed it.” she said.
8．During the experiment, babies prefer the puppet that ________.
A．opens the box B．helps open the box
C．shuts the box D．presents the box
9．What did McFadden probably think of Bloom's findings
A．They came as no surprise.
B．They needed to be proved.
C．They were of very little importance.
D．They would help babies learn to speak.
10．The underlined phrase “put out” in the last paragraph can be understood as “________”．
A．proud B．nervous
C．excited D．unhappy
11．What is the main purpose of this text
A．To introduce a puppet game.
B．To improve humans' moral sense.
C．To report and discuss a research result.
D．To offer and share parenting experience.

Based on a true story, the novel Safe as Houses by Eric Walters is an amazing book. It is about a 13 year old girl named Elizabeth Hardy who babysits the McBride children David and Suzie. One rainy, stormy evening they walk home from school. When they arrive home, water floods (淹没) the backyard, cuts the power and floods roads, which stops Mr.and Mrs.McBride from coming home. Soon the flooding begins to invade the McBrides' home and Elizabeth, David, Suzie and their dog Daisy try very hard to escape and survive the flood.
My favorite character is David because I find him very funny and brave, and although he can be stubborn and rude at times, he is still a nice and friendly person. As much as I want to be like David I could never be like him. At least, I don't think I could ever do something as brave as he does.
I think Eric Walters does a great job in describing the characters and telling the story. I really feel like this all just happened in front of my eyes. Ever since I started reading Safe as Houses I never wanted to put the book down, and considering I was not a big fan of reading that did not happen very often. Safe as Houses changed my opinion in regard to reading and now I enjoy reading very much.
Eric Walters' writing career (生涯) all started in 1993 when Eric was teaching a grade 5 class. His students were not good readers and did not like reading, so Eric created a book called Stand Your Ground for his students and used some of the students' names to create the story. Ever since Eric published (出版) that book he has become a big time writer and has published many amazing different books like Camp X, Tiger Trap, Camp 30, We All Fall Down and Flyboy.
12．What happened on that particular evening
A．A 13 year old got lost.
B．A terrible rainstorm broke out.
C．Three children were trapped on the way home.
D．The McBrides' home was completely destroyed by floods.
13．What does the author like about David
A．His creativity. B．His great skill.
C．His personality. D．His good behavior.
14．What can we infer about the author
A．He is a man full of courage.
B．He used to enjoy reading very much.
C．He is very like David in Safe as Houses.
D．He has been greatly affected by Safe as Houses.
15．Why did Eric write Stand Your Ground
A．To record his students' stories.
B．To encourage his students to read.
C．To state the importance of reading.
D．To teach his students they can be writers.

Based on a true story, the novel Safe as Houses by Eric Walters is an amazing book. It is about a 13 year old girl named Elizabeth Hardy who babysits the McBride children David and Suzie. One rainy, stormy evening they walk home from school. When they arrive home, water floods (淹没) the backyard, cuts the power and floods roads, which stops Mr.and Mrs.McBride from coming home. Soon the flooding begins to invade the McBrides' home and Elizabeth, David, Suzie and their dog Daisy try very hard to escape and survive the flood.
My favorite character is David because I find him very funny and brave, and although he can be stubborn and rude at times, he is still a nice and friendly person. As much as I want to be like David I could never be like him. At least, I don't think I could ever do something as brave as he does.
I think Eric Walters does a great job in describing the characters and telling the story. I really feel like this all just happened in front of my eyes. Ever since I started reading Safe as Houses I never wanted to put the book down, and considering I was not a big fan of reading that did not happen very often. Safe as Houses changed my opinion in regard to reading and now I enjoy reading very much.
Eric Walters' writing career (生涯) all started in 1993 when Eric was teaching a grade 5 class. His students were not good readers and did not like reading, so Eric created a book called Stand Your Ground for his students and used some of the students' names to create the story.

My Favorite Novel
参考范文：
My Favorite Novel
My favorite novel is Gone with the Wind written by Margaret Mitchell, a well known American female author. The book tells a story about a beautiful girl named Scarlett who experienced a lot and fought with her fate bravely during her life. I like Scarlett in this novel. Growing up in a southern farm, Scarlett was a self willed girl who ran after what she wanted bravely. She went through kinds of difficulties including her husband's death and the horrible war. But she knew what she wanted and tried her best to get it. Never did she lose her hope. I like the last sentence of the book best, “Tomorrow is another day”. It encourages me not to lose my hope too.
