Six Chinese Characters
Dear students, our country has a long history. Chinese characters usually have more than one meaning and some of them are particularly loved by Chinese people. Here are the top six lucky ones. Please note we use "pinyin" here because "pinyin" is the Chinese spelling system for the characters. For example, "fu" is the "pinyin" for good luck in Chinese. "pinyin" "fu" is only the phonic (语音的 ) part of the character and if you want to know the meaning of good luck "fu", you must read the Chinese character福 because "fu" also represents (代表) other Chinese characters that sound the same.
1.福 "fu" means blessing, good fortune, good luck.
Chinese character福 "f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u" is one of the most popular ones used during Chinese New Year. It is often displayed upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down福"fu" means good luck comes since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for "come".
2.禄 "Iu" means prosperity.
It is used to mean official's salary(薪水 ) in feudal (封建的 ) China.
3.寿 "shou" means longevity.
Chinese character寿 "shou" also means life, age or birthday.
4.喜 "xi" is happiness.
The doubled character喜 "xi" means double happiness.
It is usually displayed everywhere at Chinese weddings.
5.财 "cai" is wealth or money.
Chinese often ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) say "money can make a ghost turn a millstone". It is to say money really can do a lot of things. But, still-money can’t buy everything.
6.和 "he" means harmomous.
People's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) harmony is an important part of Chinese culture.When you have harmomous relations with others, things will be a lot easier for you.
1. What does the word "character" mean in this passage
A.性格 B.汉字 C.角色 D.特征
2. We use to show how to read the Chinese characters.
A. "pinyin" ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. spelling C. Chinese D. letters
3. What does the upside down福 "fu" mean
A. It means coming . B. It means that good luck comes .
C. It means good fortune. D. It means that "fu" is upside down.
4. Which sentence is right according to the passage
A. Money is a ghost. B. Money can buy everything.
C. Money is everything. D. Money isn’t everything.
5. After reading ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage, can we say that sound "he" only means harmony
A. No, we can't. B. Yes, we can.
C. I know several words read as "he". D. Yes, you can.
【答案详解】1-5 BABDA
1.B词义猜测题。根据短文的大意可知， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )这篇短文中作者给我们介绍了一些中国汉字的意思，如福、 禄、寿、喜、财、和等。这里的character的意思应是汉字。故选B。
2.A 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中可知，作者在介绍这六个汉字的意思时，使用拼音来告诉我们这几个汉字的读音。如福fu，禄lu等故选A。
3.B 节理解题。根据短文第二段中作者关 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )于福这个汉字的介绍中The upside down福”fu” means good luck comes可知，在中国的农历新年时，福这个字很受欢迎。而且它经常倒看贴，意思是福到了，即好运到了。故选B。
4.D 跑节理解题。根据短文中作者关于 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )财这个字的介绍中Chinese often say "money can make a ghost turn a millstone". It is to say money really can do a lot of things. But still-money can't buy everything.可知，中国人经常说:有钱能使鬼推磨，钱真的可以做很多事情，但是也有钱买不到的东西。由此我们可知D选项money isn’t everything，钱不是一切，这句话是对的。故选D。
5.A 细节理解题。根据短文第一段中Chin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ese characters usually have more than one meaning可知，作者告诉我们，中国的汉字通常很有不只一个意思。因此和这个字也是有很多意思的，不只是和谐，故选A。

话题：战争与历史 词数：305 参考用时：6分钟
World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945. Life changed for everybody, including women and children because of the war. Millions of people lost their lives during the war. The Diary of a Young Girl was a record of that time. The book was written by a girl named Anne Frank.
Anne Frank was born in Germany in June 1929. Because the German Nazi(纳粹分子) hated the Jews(犹太人) and warned to kill them, her family had to move to another country. In July 1942, they went into hiding in a secret place in her father's office. During that difficult time, Anne kept writing diaries until she and her family were discovered by the Nazis in August 1944. They were caught and sent to a Nazi camp. The next year, her mother died. In the same year, she and her elder sister died of illness, before the war ended.
After the war, her ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )father collected her diaries and the book The Diary of a Young Girl came out in 1947. It has been put into over 30 languages since then. The book has been read by people all over the world. In her diary, Anne wrote down her thoughts, her feelings, her hopes and her dreams for the future, "I want the diary to be my friend, and I'm going to call this friend Kitty." "I can't spend all day complaining because it's impossible to have any fun! ... Every day, I feel the beauty of nature and the goodness of the people around me. With all that, why should I be sad "
The Diary of a Young Girl has also become a symbol of the greatness of the human spirit. It is called one of the wisest and most moving records on war.

2. A 细节理解题。根据 I wan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the diary to be my friend, and I’m going to call this friend Killy.可知 Kitty 是她的日记的名字。故选A。
3. C 推理判断题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据：I can’t spend all day complaining可知，Anne没有一天到晚的抱怨，所以A错；根据文章开头可知，这本日记主要记录了Anne在二战期间避难的艰难岁月，所以B错；In her diary Anne wrote down her thoughts； her feelings； her hopes and her dreams for the future；所以即使在最艰难的岁月里， Anne依然对生活充满了渴望。所以C对；根据It has been put into over 30 languages since then.可知， 这本日记被翻译成30多种语言而不是接近30种。所以D错；本题要求找出陈述正确的选项，故选C。
4. B推理判断题。根据 Anne F ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rank was born in Germany in June 1929. Because the German Nazi(纳粹分 子）hated the Jews (犹太人）and warned to kill them; her family had to move to another country. 可知 Anne 是一个犹太人。学习历史我们知道，在二战期间很多犹太人受到了德国纳粹分子的迫害。Anne Frank was born m Germany和After the war，her father collected her diaries是文章明确说明的事，不用推理判断。故选B。

话题：学校生活 词数：422 参考用时：8分钟
Teens want str ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ucture in their lives, which means they want their lives well-planned. To begin building structure, teens need love and trust. They need to know their parents are there to give them needed love and support (支持).Teens want to be sure that nothing can prevent parents from shouldering their responsibility for them — not their growing maturity (成熟),misbehavior, nor anger at something they have done. Teens want parents to keep control while allowing them to make some decisions.
There are so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close. One way is to spend time together. Parents often mistake their teens’ increased interest in friends for a disinterest in the family.
Teens would like to spend more time doing things with their parents, but watching TV is not counted as spending time together. As your teens mature, it is important for you and your teens spend time alone together, one to one. Your teens need time to talk to you alone without any other family member present.
Talk with your teens about their interests and concerns. Make sure you really show interest in what is happening. When talking with your teens, give full attention and do not stop them.
The way to h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elp your teens become adults is to let your teens into your world. Sharing your emotions and concerns with your teens is important. Avoid causing needless worry.
Trust your teens. Don' ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t expect the worst. Hope for the best. Telling your teens you don’t like their friends will cause the teens not to bring their friends home. If something should go wrong, believe that your teens didn’t do it on purpose.
It is very importan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t that you treat your teens with respect. Teens need the same respect adults show for total strangers. Don’t talk down to your teens.
You need to be supportive of your teens. What may be a small problem to you may be troubling to your teens. Teens don't have the experiences that adults have had. Let the teens know that you understand how much it hurts when something happens that is upsetting or hurtful to them. As they mature, they can look back at some problems they had and laugh at having been upset by something that now seems unimportant.
The most important thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ngs to remember are: talk with your teens, listen to their worries and offer suggestions when needed. This will help your teens to live a well-organized life.
1.According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o Paragraph 1, teens ______________.
A. can control themselves.
B. expect direction and freedom.
C. don’t know how to make decision
D. don’t have responsibility for the family
2.The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne part “counted as” in Paragraph 3 probably means “____”.
A. compared with B. used as
C. connected with D. regarded as
3.To help teens organi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ze their lives , parents should __________.
A. invite their teens’ friends home.
B. leave their teens’ problems alone.
C. share their feelings with their teens.
D. pay little attention to their teens’ daily lives.
4. What is the best title of the passage
A. Training Teens to Become Responsible Adults.
B. Helping Teens to Build Reasonable Structure.
C. Improving the Relationship with Your Teens.
D. Stepping into Your Teens’ Secret Word.
【答案详解】1-4BDCB
1.B 推理判断题。文章第一段最后一句 T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eens want parents to keep control while allowing them to make some decisions.青少年想让家长允许他们做一些决定的同时也能给予他们引导。故答案B。expect direction and freedom期待指导和自由为正确答案。
2. D 词义猜测题。count as:意 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为"当作"。该词所在句子的意思为：青少年想要和父母一起共度时光，但看电视不能被当做共度时光。故D, regarded as正确。
3. C 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句话， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Sharing your emotions and concerns with your teens is important 和孩子分享自己的情感和关注的事情很重要，所以C. share their feelings with their teens正确。
4. B 主旨大意题。根据首段第一句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )和最后一段的总结可以概括出本文的主要内容是给父母建议，让他们帮助孩子们建立合理的生活结构。因此答案为B。

Benjamin Fran ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )klin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.
Carnegie believed t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news.
If you can easily fin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d a public library in your community(社区), you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.

As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!
1. Benjamin Franklin founded the first lending library in _______.
A. 1731 B. 1800 C. 1886 D. 1919
