“No air conditioning(空调) How will you sleep ” my friend asked. I just told her that my

“It s too hot to sleep,” my 13-year-old daughter said. “I m about to 3 from this high tempera-

tired to 4 for long. I laid in bed quietly, listening to the cricket choir(蟋蟀的鸣叫) outside. The
sound made me think about my 5 .
I thought about my grandma, who lived until she was 92. She took care of my mom s garden
6 just a few weeks before she died. My thoughts went back to her house, in the summer heat of
my childhood.
“ If you watch for the wind,” Grandma said, “ you ll 7 and fall asleep. ” I stared at the
thin white curtain(窗帘), hoping it would flutter(飘动) .
Lying still and waiting, I suddenly noticed the life outside my window — the cricket choir. The
sound comforted me.
“Mom, did you 8 that ” my 7-year-old son asked. “ I think it was an owl(猫头鹰) . ”
“ 9 ,” I told him. “Just keep listening. ”
Without the noise of the air conditioner, the house became 10 and the night seemed close e-

阅读理解。 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。
Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons
before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one
falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝)
of a tree quietly, just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make
the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the
forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could
solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “ It is unbelieva-
ble!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen ”
The farmer replied, “ It s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested. ”
It is always the same to human beings. We all have “ two flying wings” in our hearts as well,
but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we feel safe and comfortable. We won t realize
we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.
1. What did the king do after he got the two falcons
2. Why did the king call all his falconers together
3. Who finally made the other falcon fly freely in the sky
4. How did the king feel when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky
5. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
她的女儿从四岁生日起就拥有了这个洋娃娃。
Her daughter has owned the doll since her fourth birthday.

完成图表。 根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。
Noisy neighbors are a problem in a society where many people live closely together. And this can be
the most important when you share walls, floors or ceilings with neighbors in a flat — noisy neighbors can
make life challenging, especially if noise goes well into night, or happens during early morning hours.
This situation needs to be dealt with properly, which needs your ability to keep calm.
First, you should try to tell your neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite
and friendly. It can begin with words like “ I am not sure you know that. ” Explain the problem in an
honest way, and ask the neighbors to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a.m. You
can also say that you realize they hear your noise too, and you re willing to try to stop anything in
your behavior that is creating much noise.
You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirements, and some may act
in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don t change their behaviors, the next step should be to
write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances(不满) and the dates when the
noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that
last into the early morning, then write down those dates.
When the noise remains going on, you should report it to local authorities(权力部门), or even
call the police, when it is really necessary. Often, however, you can solve the problem when the
noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police.
Be aware that you can t always make noisy neighbors be quiet. When the noise remains going
on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry way. If you have completed the steps and letter, don t
