When Jane and Billy were little, they got along well. The fights didn’t start until they were both 10 years old.
“Mom, Billy won’t give my book back!”
“It’s not yours. It’s mine!”
And so it went. Our peaceful house had turned into a war zone (战区). But we found a solution.
We talked to the kids and discussed what would happen if they argued again. We came up with a list of “punishments (惩罚)” that we would give them if they fought. But they weren’t really punishments — just nice things that we would ask them to do for each other. For example, if Jane started a fight, we would ask her to clean Billy’s room. If Billy started a fight, we would ask him to give Jane a hug.
We wrote these “punishments” on a circular board (圆形板子) with an arrow in the middle. If one of them started a fight, he/she would have to spin (转动) the board and receive the “punishment”.
This “punishment wheel” worked wonders (取得惊人成效). Soon the kids stopped arguing so often. We didn’t have to really punish them — we just had to teach them to be nice to each other.
16．What does the underlined word “peaceful” mean
A．Quiet. B．Noisy. C．Comfortable. D．Exciting.
17．What did the author do when her kids fought
A．She asked them to run outside.
B．She asked them to say sorry to each other.
C．She asked them to spin the “punishment wheel”.
D．She helped the younger child argue with the older child.
18．Why did the author use quotation marks (引号) for the word “punishments”
A．She wanted to show the importance of the word.
B．She wanted to show that the “punishments” were not real punishments.
C．She wanted the readers to guess the meaning of the word.
D．She was not sure if the word is correct.
19．With the “punishments”, the author wanted to teach the kids that ________.
A．fighting was not a game B．there were no real punishments in life
C．they should be nice to each other D．fighting was bad for both sides
20．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Brother and Sister B．A Smart Mom
C．Stop Arguing D．The Punishment Wheel

五、任务型阅读
Sometimes the world may feel like an unhappy place. However, you can make a difference. If you make even a person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is a list of ideas to help you.
Send a handwritten letter
In this age where everything is sent by email, it is a shock to receive a letter through the post. Writing a few words on paper to a friend is an easy way to make one smile. Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone’s day—all for the price of a stamp!
Volunteer
Volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. It requires（需要）some time and research to find the perfect project before volunteering. Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from the shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is unbelievable. There are so many chances, so you are sure to find one that is right for you. And it doesn’t necessarily have to take up all your time—it could be once a week or a couple of times a year.
Make something for a special person
Whether you’re creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate（感激）them. Even if you think you are not creative, the receiver will feel lucky to get such a special gift that you put your time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!
Tell someone “I love you”
It can be anyone—a family member or a friend. You don’t even have to say “I love you”. Perhaps you can tell friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that you love her. Sometimes, in our busy lives, we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.
