And it also tells us the time should be half past three now. Of course, I think that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Holmes "

A woman repeated a bit of gossip(流言) about a neighbour. Within a few days the whole neighbourhood knew the story. The neighbour was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible(负责) for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.
“Go to the marketplace,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck(拔) its feathers and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”
The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.

Is it a tree Is it a bear If you're looking at a tree in the shape of a bear, it's a topiary(林木雕塑). A topiary is a tree or a bush(灌木) that is trained into a shape. Growing a topiary garden takes both time and skills.
A topiary gardener should make a drawing first. The drawing shows the final shape that the gardener likes. The gardener then chooses a bush for the topiary. It may be one that is just planted or one that is already in place.
In June of the plant's first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it's time to shape(给……造型) the bottom of the bush. It needs about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.
Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In the summer it must be cut many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In winter the bushes don't grow. The gardeners have to brush snow of the plants, or snow may hurt some parts of them.
Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe like topiaries, too. In the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today it's popular in many parts of the world.
84. Put the following in the right order according to the passage.
a. The gardener chooses a bush for the topiary.
b. The whole bush grows tall enough for shaping.
c. The gardener begins to shape the bottom of the bush.
d. The gardener draws the shape of a topiary.
A. d-a-b-c B. b-c-a-d C. a-d-c-b D. d-a-c-b
85. In which part of the world did the topiary gardening begin first
A. In Rome. B. In Europe. C. In America. D. In Africa.
D
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we don't educate children only for the purpose(目的) of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all—whether rich or poor, clever or stupid—one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.
If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
86. The writer of the passage thinks that .
A. education can settle most of the world's problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won't help to solve social problems
D. all the social problems can't be solved by education
87. The writer wants to prove that .
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. people with university degree refuse to do what they think "low" work
88. The underlined words "be ashamed of" in the passage means .
A. 为……感到害羞 B. 为……感到耻辱 C. 为……感到荣耀 D. 为……感到鼓舞
89. The purpose of education is .
A. to choose a system of education
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world

How do people pass on messages
When you write a letter or make a telephone call, your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words Tears(泪) in your eyes tell others that you are sad. 90. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying no. 91. Other things can also give some information. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. 92.

One of the amazing things about the World Wide Web is that anyone can create a web page. If people find your page interesting, they will come to visit it. If lots of people like your page, then you have created something of value(价值). The whole idea of a TV station is to create a place that attracts lots of people. Then the station's owner can charge companies for advertising on TV. A web page is like a small TV station. If yours becomes very popular, then you can sell ads on it. That is one form of “value”. There are other forms as well, especially for teenagers. A popular page allows you to speak to and educate others, gives you a chance to meet people, and opens doors of opportunity that you might not expect.
If you want to create your own page, you have two choices. You can create a page that says, “Hi, my name is Suzy and here is a picture of Binky, my cat. My favorite bands are…” That is fine, but it is not of much interest to anyone but your close friends. The other choice you have is to create a site that other people find useful. Pick something you enjoy or know a lot about and create a page about it. For example, if you like football, create the best page on the net about football.
The people from all over the world will come to visit your page because you are offering something of value.
