Are you planning a birthday party for your son or daughter and can’t decide what to do People in different countries celebrate their birthday in different ways.
Philip Evans, from Paris, smiles at us, “I’m going to be thirty years old next week, so I’m going to invite three very good friends out for dinner.” In France, when it is your birthday, you often invite people out. In some countries, I know it’s the opposite（相反）—the people take you out.

Sarah the seagull(海鸥) and her mum lived in New York by the sea.
Every day Sarah and her mum would fly over the waves, diving in to eat the small fish that swam in the shallow(浅的) water. Sometimes people would feed Sarah and her mother a sandwich or some potato chips. They always had a lot to eat. At night, Sarah and her mother would rest under the roof(屋顶) of a nearby building. It was a quite warm place to live in.
But one day it started to get colder. The little fish that were always swimming in the waves were a lot harder to find. There were no more people coming to the beach, so no one was there to feed Sarah and her mother any sandwiches or chips.
“It is time to fly south for the winter,” said Sarah’s mum. “Why ” asked Sarah. “Because it has got too cold here,” explained Sarah’s mum. “There is no food, and it will soon get even colder.” “________” said Sarah. “Don’t worry,” said Sarah’s mum. “We will come back when it is warm again. We are birds. We can change where we live and still be happy. We can have more than one home.”
So Sarah and her mum said goodbye to the beach and flew away. They flew and flew, until they were out of the cold and back into the warm weather. They flew all the way to Miami, Florida.
There, they found a new beach. It was filled with fish, and there were lots of people to give them sandwiches and chips. Sarah’s mum even found a new roof for them to sleep under.
“I like this other home,” said Sarah. “It is warm, and we have food. This is a nice place too.”

A new rubbish system (系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort(分类) their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it. “When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward point to exchange for small gifts and even some money,” one of the local people told reporters. “It’s really creative and encouraging.”
This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.
China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.
What’s more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits, for example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.
Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.
In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins — the red lid (盖子) bin for “general waste” like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for “recycling” like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for “green waste” such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.
15．What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community
A．A computer. B．A car. C．A lot of money. D．Some small gifts.
16．Which of the following is NOT the consequence (后果) of burying rubbish
A．Polluting soil. B．Polluting water.
C．Taking up a lot of land. D．Saving resources.
17．Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting
A．Paragraph 3. B．Paragraph 4. C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 6.
18．In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in
A．The red lid bin. B．The yellow lid bin. C．The green lid bin. D．The black lid bin.
19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) wastes.
B．In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.
C．Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin if they don’t move away the wrapper first.
D．Australian people have to obey local timetables and directions to throw away rubbish.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to(不注意) the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a quite clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
24．What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint
A．He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.
B．He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C．He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D．He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
25．Why did her father listen to her quietly
A．Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D．Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
26．Which do you think would be the best title for this passage
A．Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C．My Father
D．My Childhood
Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the white rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked (上了锁的). “How will I get out again ” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.
Then she saw another door. The door was only 40cm high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldn’t get through it—she was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.
“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller ” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.
After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words “DRINK ME” in large letters.
“It can be dangerous to drink the liquid (液体) in the bottle,” she said, “What will it do to me ” She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.
“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” she said. “And now.” she said happily. “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”
She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above her on the top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.
At last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it and found a very small cake with the words “EAT ME” on it.

“Look here, Watson,” Holmes said after we finished lunch. “Please sit down. I want to talk to you. I don’t know what to do, and your advice is important to me. You smoke your cigar (雪茄烟) while I explain.”
“Please continue,” I said, as I lit my cigar.
“Now there’re a few important points in young James’ story. One, his father cries Coo-ee before he sees him. Two, he talks about a rat (老鼠). I think young James is telling the truth (真相).”
“So why did Mr. McCarthy shout Coo-ee then ”
“Well, he was not shouting Coo-ee to his son. It was by chance that James heard. The Coo-ee was to call the person he was meeting. But Coo-ee is an Australian cry, Australians usually say it when they meet to catch attention. Perhaps Mr. McCarthy was meeting someone from Australia.”
“I see. But why did he talk about a rat, then ” I asked.
Holmes took a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table.
“This is a map of Australia,” he said. He put his hand over part of the map. “Now, Watson, what can you read there ” he asked me.
“ARAT,” I read.
“And now ” Holmes moved his hand.
“BALLARAT,” I read.
“Yes. That was the word the dead man said. It’s a place called Ballarat. His son only heard the ‘rat’ part of the word. Old Mr. McCarthy was trying to say where his murderer was from, the town of Ballarat. The grey cloak is point No. 3. If James is telling the truth, there was a grey cloak (斗篷). So now we have an Australian from Ballarat with a grey cloak.”
“Great!” I replied.
“And it’s someone who lives nearby, as the Boscombe Pool isn’t open to the public. Only people from the farm nearby or the Turner house can go there,” said Holmes.
“That’s wonderful, Holmes!” I exclaimed.

Singing songs is fun, but is it also useful For learning English pronunciation(发音), Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same.
Some words used in songs are not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics（歌词）when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful. You don't have to sing songs aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!
Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joe's favorite singer, B．B．King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of "Why I Sing the Blues", you are a very ____student.
If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends. When you are able to sing a song in another language, even if you don't sing so beautifully, you will really impress(给......深刻印象) other people!

I’m Mike Smith, a doctor from London, I really feel that life in China is changing so quickly. Recently I had a business trip to Tianjin, I left my Beijing apartment and walked half a street to the subway station. About twelve stops later, I reached the high speed rail station. After two minutes of security(安检), I picked up my ticket, which I had bought on my phone while on the subway. Then I walked to the terminal(终点) and got on the train. Twenty-eight minutes later I was in the center of a beautiful city—Tianjin. I could enjoy a nice walk along the riverside towards my hotel. It is amazing that the whole experience took more than a few hours, with no cars, no airport, no credit cards(信用卡) and no long lines, just my smart phone, only a few US dollars and comfortable walking shoes. In most places in the developed world, there is no experience like this. But China is different.

The Old Man and the Sea is a famous book around the world. The writer, Hemingway, got the Pulitzer Prize. Hemingway wrote the book in 1952, and it was thought a classic example of Hemingway works.
Readers love this book because it tells so much about our life. Besides it teaches us how to successfully catch a fish, the most important is that it tells us our own loneliness and thoughts for life. Sometimes, we put ourselves into boxes, thinking we are “old” “young” “unlucky” “silly”. And these sayings slowly but surely wear away our confidence.
The book tells such a story, Santiago was once the best fisherman ever. But then he grew older and couldn’t catch a fish for 84 days. Everyone said he was unlucky and already old. He fought the sayings. Finally he caught a big fish. That should be what we do. What else would make a man go out into the sea in a small boat all by himself to fish for three days

Where can we find some good poems You can start with poems by the Indian poet Tagore. This year is the 160th anniversary of Tagore’s birth. His poems are about nature, human and love. He is good at writing poems for children. His poems are full of imagination. In his poems, kids are waves and moms are banks. Flowers are children in underground school. They sing and dance.
Tagore’s poems are easy to understand. They can bring people positive power. Sometimes we cry over missing things. But Tagore says: “If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the moon.” Sometimes we are sad and frown. But Tagore says: “Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who will fall in love with your smile.”
Here is a short poem Paper Boat by Tagore.
“Day by day I float my paper boats one by one down the running stream.
In big black letters I write my name on them and the name of the village where I live.
I hope that someone in some strange land will find them and know who I am.
I load my little boats with shiuli flowers from our garden, and hope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried safely to land in the night.
I launch my paper boats and look up into the sky and see the little clouds setting thee white bulging sails.
I know not what playmate of mine in the sky sends them down the air to race with my boats!
When night comes I bury my face in my arms and dream that my paper boats float on and on under the midnight stars.
The fairies of sleep are sailing in them, and the lading is their baskets full of dreams.”

Sarah the seagull(海鸥) and her mum lived in New York by the sea.
Every day Sarah and her mum would fly over the waves, diving in to eat the small fish that swam in the shallow(浅的) water. Sometimes people would feed Sarah and her mother a sandwich or some potato chips. They always had a lot to eat. At night, Sarah and her mother would rest under the roof(屋顶) of a nearby building. It was a quite warm place to live in.
But one day it started to get colder. The little fish that were always swimming in the waves were a lot harder to find. There were no more people coming to the beach, so no one was there to feed Sarah and her mother any sandwiches or chips.

There, they found a new beach. It was filled with fish, and there were lots of people to give them sandwiches and chips. Sarah’s mum even found a new roof for them to sleep under.
“I like this other home,” said Sarah. “It is warm, and we have food. This is a nice place too.”

A new rubbish system (系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort(分类) their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it. “When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward point to exchange for small gifts and even some money,” one of the local people told reporters. “It’s really creative and encouraging.”
This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.
China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.
What’s more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits, for example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.
Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.
In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins — the red lid (盖子) bin for “general waste” like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for “recycling” like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for “green waste” such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.
15．What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community
A．A computer. B．A car. C．A lot of money. D．Some small gifts.
16．Which of the following is NOT the consequence (后果) of burying rubbish
A．Polluting soil. B．Polluting water.
C．Taking up a lot of land. D．Saving resources.
17．Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting
A．Paragraph 3. B．Paragraph 4. C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 6.
18．In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in
A．The red lid bin. B．The yellow lid bin. C．The green lid bin. D．The black lid bin.
19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) wastes.
B．In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.
C．Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin if they don’t move away the wrapper first.
D．Australian people have to obey local timetables and directions to throw away rubbish.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to(不注意) the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a quite clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

B．He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C．He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D．He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
25．Why did her father listen to her quietly
A．Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D．Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
26．Which do you think would be the best title for this passage
A．Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C．My Father
D．My Childhood
Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the white rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked (上了锁的). “How will I get out again ” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.
Then she saw another door. The door was only 40cm high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldn’t get through it—she was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.
“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller ” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.
After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words “DRINK ME” in large letters.
“It can be dangerous to drink the liquid (液体) in the bottle,” she said, “What will it do to me ” She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.
“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” she said. “And now.” she said happily. “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”
She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above her on the top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.
At last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it and found a very small cake with the words “EAT ME” on it.

“Look here, Watson,” Holmes said after we finished lunch. “Please sit down. I want to talk to you. I don’t know what to do, and your advice is important to me. You smoke your cigar (雪茄烟) while I explain.”
“Please continue,” I said, as I lit my cigar.
“Now there’re a few important points in young James’ story. One, his father cries Coo-ee before he sees him. Two, he talks about a rat (老鼠). I think young James is telling the truth (真相).”
“So why did Mr. McCarthy shout Coo-ee then ”
“Well, he was not shouting Coo-ee to his son. It was by chance that James heard. The Coo-ee was to call the person he was meeting. But Coo-ee is an Australian cry, Australians usually say it when they meet to catch attention. Perhaps Mr. McCarthy was meeting someone from Australia.”
“I see. But why did he talk about a rat, then ” I asked.
Holmes took a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table.
“This is a map of Australia,” he said. He put his hand over part of the map. “Now, Watson, what can you read there ” he asked me.
“ARAT,” I read.
“And now ” Holmes moved his hand.
“BALLARAT,” I read.
“Yes. That was the word the dead man said. It’s a place called Ballarat. His son only heard the ‘rat’ part of the word. Old Mr. McCarthy was trying to say where his murderer was from, the town of Ballarat. The grey cloak is point No. 3. If James is telling the truth, there was a grey cloak (斗篷). So now we have an Australian from Ballarat with a grey cloak.”
“Great!” I replied.
“And it’s someone who lives nearby, as the Boscombe Pool isn’t open to the public. Only people from the farm nearby or the Turner house can go there,” said Holmes.

Singing songs is fun, but is it also useful For learning English pronunciation(发音), Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same.
Some words used in songs are not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics（歌词）when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful.

When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!
Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joe's favorite singer, B．B．King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of "Why I Sing the Blues", you are a very ____student.

Twenty-eight minutes later I was in the center of a beautiful city—Tianjin. I could enjoy a nice walk along the riverside towards my hotel. It is amazing that the whole experience took more than a few hours, with no cars, no airport, no credit cards(信用卡) and no long lines, just my smart phone, only a few US dollars and comfortable walking shoes. In most places in the developed world, there is no experience like this. But China is different.
So in my opinion, if we think highly of China’s modern wonders, I believe its high speed rail system must be one of them. And it’s one symbol of a new China’s strength as well.

The Old Man and the Sea is a famous book around the world. The writer, Hemingway, got the Pulitzer Prize. Hemingway wrote the book in 1952, and it was thought a classic example of Hemingway works.
Readers love this book because it tells so much about our life. Besides it teaches us how to successfully catch a fish, the most important is that it tells us our own loneliness and thoughts for life. Sometimes, we put ourselves into boxes, thinking we are “old” “young” “unlucky” “silly”. And these sayings slowly but surely wear away our confidence.
The book tells such a story, Santiago was once the best fisherman ever. But then he grew older and couldn’t catch a fish for 84 days. Everyone said he was unlucky and already old. He fought the sayings. Finally he caught a big fish. That should be what we do. What else would make a man go out into the sea in a small boat all by himself to fish for three days

Where can we find some good poems You can start with poems by the Indian poet Tagore. This year is the 160th anniversary of Tagore’s birth. His poems are about nature, human and love. He is good at writing poems for children. His poems are full of imagination. In his poems, kids are waves and moms are banks. Flowers are children in underground school. They sing and dance.
Tagore’s poems are easy to understand. They can bring people positive power. Sometimes we cry over missing things. But Tagore says: “If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the moon.” Sometimes we are sad and frown. But Tagore says: “Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who will fall in love with your smile.”
Here is a short poem Paper Boat by Tagore.
“Day by day I float my paper boats one by one down the running stream.
In big black letters I write my name on them and the name of the village where I live.
I hope that someone in some strange land will find them and know who I am.
I load my little boats with shiuli flowers from our garden, and hope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried safely to land in the night.
I launch my paper boats and look up into the sky and see the little clouds setting thee white bulging sails.
I know not what playmate of mine in the sky sends them down the air to race with my boats!
When night comes I bury my face in my arms and dream that my paper boats float on and on under the midnight stars.
The fairies of sleep are sailing in them, and the lading is their baskets full of dreams.”
