66．Dear Jerry,
Sorry to hear that you are depressed and in conflict with your classmates! I’d like to give you some suggestions.
First of all, given that everyone has their own way to live, it is essential to show respect for each other. Besides, communicating properly enables us to get rid of misunderstanding and share our happiness and sorrow. What’s more, we should be kind to others and offer necessary help to those who are in trouble.
Hope my suggestions would be of any help and may you be happy every day!
Yours,
Li Hua
67．One day, a gentleman told Mr. Rose he often saw Charles go to the river. Feeling frustrated and believing his son must give up studying and be doing something secretly with somebody else, he burst into anger and decided to teach his son a lesson. But after a second thought Mr. Rose decided to calm down and follow his son and figure out what he was doing all these days. When he appeared before the two boys, they felt nervous. But when he saw the two boys were learning how to read, he got into a surprise, followed by Mr. Rose’s remark: “I am sorry son, I narrowly missed a major mistakes.” After a few minutes’ chatting, Mr. Rose made up a decision to help Joe with his reading and writing.
The next day, Mr. Rose took Charles and Joe to buy books in the town. Joe opened his eyes wide when he saw so many beautiful books displayed in the bookstore. After a whole morning’s purchasing, they packed their car with all the books on the list and headed back. The two boys buried themselves in reading and talking about stories from the book. Mr. Rose never felt so relieved for his son finally found a partner to study together. “Maybe in a day they will go to university hand in hand,” he told himself while driving in a high spirit.

W: I really want to go to the beach this weekend. The weatherman said it’s going to be warm.

Text3：
W: You’re always cleaning around the house on weekends. I think you must enjoy it.
M: Not really.
W: To my surprise. But your house is tidy and clean.
M: I know. I’d rather relax or go hiking. But weekends are the only time I can clean the house.
Text4：
W: How could you sell my old books without asking me first
M: Sorry. They were placed in the corner, so I thought they were useless.
W: Don’t take my things without my permission. I’m thinking of giving them away.
Text5：
W: Do you know anything about the new manager of our company
M: All I know is that he likes to watch basketball games in his free time. And some people say he is a kind man.
Text6：
W: I’m uncertain, but I think I might ask to be considered for the new job.
M: Why are you considering trying for it What makes you interested in the new job
W: The position is what I’d like to apply for, but the working hours are a little long.
M: Then you will not have too much spare time.
W: Yeah. And I’m also wondering about the pay.
M: Is it worthwhile to take a pay cut for a new opportunity for growth
W: I’m thinking that might be the case.
M: Why not give it a go I know you’re expecting to have a change.
Text7：
W: Is the bus late, honey
M: Yeah, it’s 3 : 00 p. m. It should have been here 10 minutes ago.

used them, yet

M: Now I know we don’t have any eggs. I’ll run up to the store while you cut the coconut into tiny pieces.
W: I also need to let the butter get soft at room temperature.
M: That’s right. When everything else is ready, turn on the oven and preheat(预热)it to 400 degrees.
Text9：
M: Hey, have you seen the new café down the street
W: Never heard of it. What’s so special
M: It’s a cat café! My sister found it on an app. It has many cats that walk around freely and you can hang around with them while you enjoy your coffee or tea.
W: Really That sounds great! I love cats! Have you been there
M: Yeah, the weekend before last. I went there with a friend, Sam. It was great! But it turned out that Sam reacted badly to cat hairs. So, we went to the drugstore after.
W: Wow, is he okay
M: Yeah, he just got a blocked nose and a headache. At least we had some good coffee and cakes. What’s more, part of its profits go towards helping local animal charities.
W: I love that! It’s good to support a business that gives back to the community. What time should we meet up, today or tomorrow
M: How about the day after tomorrow, and we meet there at noon on Saturday That way we can grab some lunch if we’re hungry.
W: Perfect!
Text10：
M: It is easy for us to do something without careful thinking, but it’s hard for us to takeback what we have done. There was once a woman who made up a bad story about her neighbor. Within a few days, the whole community knew the story. Her neighbor was deeply hurt and annoyed. Later, the woman realized that it was not good to do so. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the damage. The old man said, “Go to buy a chicken, and then kill it. On your way home, drop its feathers one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told. The next day, the old man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.” The woman followed his advice, but to her disappointment, the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. “You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with behaviour. It doesn’t take much to spread a bad story about somebody, but once you do, you can never completely make up for your wrong speech.”

Discover Copenhagen with kids: top places to see
Some people think that travelling with children is quite difficult. Kids are often too young to understand the point of a visit in some museums. But luckily, there are cities that offer many attractions not only for adults, but also for little tourists. Among these cities, Copenhagen also has its place.
The mysteries of the sea world
In the National Aquarium Denmark, many species of water animals can be seen. Kids will be surely delighted with all the colourful fish, swimming between water plants. It is also an occasion to see the fantastic coral reef(珊瑚礁). When someone is brave enough, he can also see some sharks swimming behind the glass!
Tivoli - amusement for everyone
The first opening of this magical place was in the 19th century. Nowadays it’s an attraction for people of all ages. Beautiful gardens encourage tired tourists as well as local people. Those who seek for some excitements will also have good fun here - several roller coasters guarantee great entertainment. That park looks amazing in the evening, when it is brightly lit with many lights.
Film in a planetarium
People who would like to experience something connected with science and astronomy ought to visit the Tycho Brahe Planetarium. Here the 3D films are being displayed on a screen. Tourists from abroad can use special headphones, so they can listen to the audio-description in English. The visit here can be useful not only for kids, but also for adults.
A monument of Little Mermaid
Children will surely like that statue - especially when parents will tell them the fairy tale about that character. A short visit by that monument is customary, because it is one of the worldwide known symbols of Copenhagen. It is located in the port and depicts a mermaid sitting on a rock. The tale was written by Hans Andersen, who was living in that city for some period of his life.

As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new Mary Jane shoes - I wanted to be anywhere in the world but Fountain Inn Elementary School.
I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. The door suddenly opened to the sing-song voice of Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher. “We’ve been waiting for you!” she said in an unusually high voice.
Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone found me a new best friend and helped me join a choir (合唱团). During history lessons, as I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she would have me stand up to address my classmates. She made me smile and feel much relaxed in the new environment.
One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I made a bad grade Had I hurt someone’s feelings
“Are you enjoying your new school ” She said.
“I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” “Okay.” My throat all of a sudden felt very dry.
With her eyebrows (眉毛) raised, she said, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, the kindness you show - I think you have great potential (潜力) to be someone very important.”
I listened carefully to every word. “I’ve been a teacher for over 25 years. I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far.”
Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me!

It happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying,you are tired in the afternoon. It’s then that you might want to eat something sweet, perhaps a chocolate bar to lift your mood. After all, it’s popularly believed that a “sugar rush” gives us energy.
But a study published in Neuroscience& Biobehavioral Reviews suggests that sugar can make us feel worse rather than boost our moods.
The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1, 300 adults. They studied the effect of sugar on various aspects of the mood, including anger, depression and tiredness. They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense (强烈的) over time.
According to the researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short period of feeling good. However, as they begin to digest (消化) the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling.
To remain on a “high”, people are likely to eat more and more sugar until they become addicted to it. As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people feeling tired.
But the study findings don’t mean we must give up sweet food altogether. According to the World Health Organization, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, as long as these make up less than 5 percent of daily total energy intake.
So the next time you feel tired and can’t concentrate, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar.
28．What does the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Improve. B．Harm.
C．Control. D．Ignore.
29．How do people feel after they have too much sugar according to the researchers
A．They feel relaxed. B．They feel more tired.
C．They are more focused. D．They feel energetic.
30．What do we learn from paragraphs 4 and 5
A．Our moods are connected with our blood sugar levels.
B．Taking in more sugar benefits mental health.
C．Getting caffeine is another way to refresh yourself.
D．Sugar and caffeine have quite different effects.
31．Where does this passage probably come from
A．A sports report. B．A health journal.
C．An economic report. D．A medical newspaper.
D
A children-raising game called “Chinese Parents” has gained popularity among Chinese players recently with its real-life setting and realistic plots. Released on September 29, this online game has received over 13,000 comments on Tencent WeGame and Steam, two popular gaming platforms in China, in less than a month, according to data from the two platforms.
“Why not re-experience the joy of changing your life through the game ” said Sun Shoubin, a 28-year-old in the city of Zibo in east China‘s Shandong Province. He spent almost all his spare time on the game as soon as he downloaded it.
Players are responsible for cultivating their fictitious children online. During the lifetime of these children, they must make vital choices for them just like Chinese parents do in real life, such as choosing extra-curricular classes, deciding their majors in universities, and even finding marriage partners for them. A “child’s” physical condition, IQ level, and imagination can be improved by attending courses arranged by the player “parents” in each round of the game.
“From the game, I also learned that ongoing efforts can bring about great changes to our lives,” Sun said. “I can understand my parents more, and show my appreciation for the hardships they have overcome for raising and training me.”
Chinese parents are more likely to plan almost everything for their children. Social issues about Chinese parents, families, and education of children tend to arouse heated discussions. “I integrated these ideas into the game, creating a sense of ‘rebirth’ for players and driving them to experience a virtual child-rearing life through entertainment,” said Yang Geyilang, the game producer.
Some negative comments were also made by the game players. “This game is somewhat controversial,” a player named Producer Kahn commented, highlighting that although exams are important, we cannot regard the scores as the only standard to judge a child, which has become a routine for many Chinese families.
32．Why is the game so popular
A．Because the game can help players change life.
B．Because the setting and plots are real to life.
C．Because of the popular gaming platforms Tencent WeGame and Steam.
D．Because the game received many comments in a short time.
33．How do players play the game
A．Organize classes for player “parents”.
B．Make vital choices like selecting their “children” majors.
C．Raising their own “children” in the virtual world.
D．Experience the joy of changing lives.
34．What’s the author’s attitude to this game？
A．Objective B．Subjective C．Favorable D．Negative
35．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Players are given an opportunity to re-experience life.
B．Chinese games can also hit popular gaming platforms.
C．A game leads to new parent-teen relationship in China.
D．Chinese players test parental skills in the virtual world.

Charles Rose lived in the country with his father, Mr. Rose, who taught him to read and to write. Mr. Rose told his son when his morning lessons were over, he might relax himself for an hour as he pleased.
There was a river nearby. On its bank stood the hut of a poor fisherman, who lived by selling fish. His careful wife kept her wheel going early and late. They both worked very hard to make a living. But they were greatly troubled for fear that their only son will never learn to read or write. They could not teach him themselves, and they were too poor to send him to school.
Charles paid a visit to the hut of this fisherman one day and found the little boy, whose name was Joe, sitting by the table, on which he was making marks with a piece of chalk. Charles asked him whether he was drawing pictures. Little Joe said he was trying to write but he knew only two words, which he saw from a sign. Joe wished to learn and write so that he could be the happiest boy in the world. Charles promised to fulfill his dream by teaching him, even though he is still a boy too. Charles also said if Joe tried his best, he would know how to read and write soon. Both Joe and his mother thanked Charles and told him it was what they wished above all things.
So, on the next day when the hour came, Charles put his book in his pocket, and went to teach Joe. Joe learned very fast, and Charles son began to teach him how to write.
